During week of May 7: Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N.J., announced plans for what was believed to be the Nation's first academic center for the study of cryogenics-a branch of physics related to the production and effects of very low temperatures. Dr. John G. Daunt was named to direct the new center. Stevens President Dr. Jess H. Davis said center would have two major objectives: "to help meet the pressing need for scientists and engineers who have substantial training and experience in this developing science," and "to conduct basic research, which seeks to extend man's knowledge of cryogenics into areas as yet unexplored."
