The physicist goes visiting
One afternoon recently Professor David Lazarus of the University of Illinois packed his bag, including slides and notes on his research, drove to the Chicago Airport, flew to Dayton, Ohio, and was met at that airport by Professor David F. Griffing of Miami University. For the following two days Dr. Lazarus was a visitor to the Miami Physics Department under the auspices of the Visiting Scientists Program in Physics, sponsored jointly by the American Association of Physics Teachers and the American Institute of Physics with the support of the National Science Foundation. He reports that the staff of the department and their exceptionally large number of physics majors kept him steadily “on the go”, and that the visit was “a fine and rewarding experience”. The department's report states that they found their visitor helpful, stimulating, and enjoyable, and that the informal discussions with the physics students were a tremendous success.
