Physical Review has published all of its archives online
dating back to 1893, including an article about Chancellor Compton's
groundbreaking photon research. Read about it here.
Students in the course Women in Higher Education, taught
by Mary Ann Dzuback, associate professor of education, spent a semester
researching the lives of the women of Washington University through
the University archives, local community resources, and interviewing
alumni. The resulting research papers will be filed in the University's
archives. The class will be presenting their projects to a panel
during the Olin Conference in the fall as a part of the Sesquicentennial
celebration. The students also created a Web site of historical
photographs, available
here.
This Web site is dedicated to the history and continuing innovation
of Island Press, the Collaborative Print Workshop of the Washington
University in St. Louis School of Art. Since its founding in 1978,
Island Press has reinterpreted printmaking by expanding its creative
boundaries and encouraging unique and challenging approaches to
the medium. The Web site offers a comprehensive view of the diverse
production of Island Press and its roster of prominent international
artists. Click here
to visit the site.
Please also visit the University
Library's page on historical facts about Washington University.
A new student-organized Sesquicentennial anthology,
aimed at representing the cultural accomplishments and backgrounds
of the University community during the past 150 years, will soon
be launched online. Check www.artsci.wustl.edu/~wu150
to submit ideas or read the entries. Read more about the Web site
