SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION
Text 1
CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON
A little over sixty years ago, on January 28, 1902 Andrew Carnegie founded what was to become a new kind of institution for America: the first to be devoted wholly to fundamental research over wide fronts of science, in the most completely basic aspect.
The Carnegie Institution of Washington was established specifically to encourage, in the broadest and most liberal manner, investigation, research, and discovery and the application of knowledge to the improvements of mankind.
The scientists in the Department of the Institution have no commitment except to carry on research; they
are not required to teach; they choose their own fields of investigation.
Carnegie Institution scientists in the last sixty years have made far-ranging major contributions to knowledge in almost every field of science. They have been pioneers in opening new areas.
At present, Carnegie Institution's interests are mainly in three broad fields: 1) the form, contents and dynamics of the universe; 2) the structure and evolution of the earth; and 3) the frontiers of biology. Work in these pioneering areas is being carried on in six research centres operated by the Institution and by individual scientists and research teams. The six research centres are:
The Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories which are operated jointly by the Carnegie Institution and California Institute of Technology.
These observatories have two of the world's largest telescopes, and are currently engaged in programs on the physical nature and evolution of celestial bodies, and on the structure and dimensions of the Universe.
The Geophysical Laboratory which conducts broad physiochemical studies on the structure, formation and evolution of the Earth's crust to learn more about the physical and biological history, composition and internal make up of our planet.
The Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. Research at this Department covers a wide range of subjects, including the magnetic and electrical fields of the, earth, radio astronomy, geophysics of the earth's crust and mantle, isotope geology, nuclear physics and biosynthesis, touching also on basic genetics.
The Department of Embriology. There are investigated the processes by means of which egg cells develop into individual.
The Department of Biology at Stanford, California. This Department studies photosynthesis, by which plants manufacture organic matter.
The Genetic Research Unit at Cold Spring Harbor, New York. Studies undertaken by this Unit consider the mechanisms by which life processes are directed in the living cell.
In addition to its own full-time staff, the Carnegie Institution annually invites selected scientists of inter national reputation to spend time at its research centres, making use of the specialized instruments and facilities of the Institution.
The results of the Institution's research are freely and promptly presented to the world through scientific journals and scientific meetings, lectures and symposia In all, the Institution has published more than 800 titles, some consisting of several volumes.

LABORATORY FOR THE HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
(JOHN B. PIERCE FOUNDATION)
The three-story red-brick building on Congress Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut, is next to the Yale University Medical School.
The legend on the column-supported architrave reads: "John B. Pierce Foundation Laboratory". The bronze statue standing on the triangular patch of lawn to the right of the building is of John B. Pierce himself, the American Standard Radiator Company president who gave his estate to start the foundation which bears his name.
"Bio-engineering" is the key word in the activities and interests of the Pierce Laboratory denoting its basic orientation towards the fields of physiology, biophysics, biochemistry and engineering research. In 1962 a grant from the National Institute of Health made possible an expansion of the original two-story structure in New Haven, completed in 1933, and a one-story ''annex added in 1937 to a three-story building.
The original building contained two test houses designed for the simultaneous study of building construction and physiological comfort.
These facilities still exist with considerable modernization. The present facilities contain laboratories for biophysics, environmental physiology, bioclimatology and psychology as well as computer and data reduction centre.
Under the guidance of Dr. H. T. Hammel, head of the Physiology Laboratory, experiments have been under way to determine the effect of heating and cooling upon the brain. These experiments have been performed at the Laboratory upon monkeys, rats and dogs.
In the Bio-engineering Laboratory, directly headed by Dr. Gadge, work is going forward under the direction of Dr. Arend Bouhuys on the effects of dust on guinea pig lungs.
Closely allied in its work with the Yale University Medical School (many of the Pierce Laboratory staff hold faculty appointments and participate in the Yale teaching and research programs) much of the Laboratory's effort
55
has direct educational results, especially in its concepts of bio-engineering.
Many technical papers and reports result from the research accomplished at the Laboratory and a notable number of papers have appeared in publications, having been presented at national meetings of the Society.
