WHO'S WHO



Filmer S. C. Northrop



Internationally recognized author and systematic philosopher, Dr Northrop has served as Sterling Professor of Philosophy and Law at Yale University since 1947.  He has been appointed Elizabeth Morse Genius Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Rollins for the spring term in 1960 and 1961.  Best known for his books, Professor Northrop is the author of "The Meeting of the East and the West," a best seller which, when published, was termed the most important intellectual event of the year.  Founder of the National Conference of Science, Philosophy and Religion, Professor Northrop has served on numerous international diplomatic missions.  




R. Buckminster Fuller



One of the most influential and controversial personalities of the machine age, Mr. Fuller is best known for his design of the revolutionary geodesic dome which required a new mathematical formula before it could be constructed.  Described as a great visionary, he predicted 20 years ago that America will be studded with prefabricated homes, that educational television will become an accepted fact and that poverty will be wiped out by year 2000.  A mathematician and writer in his own right, Fuller designed a three-wheel car that will go 120 miles on a gallon of gas, invented a die-stamped bathroom that can be installed in minutes and created an entirely new system of mathematics. 




James Johnson Sweeney



A recognized leader in the art world, Mr. Sweeney is the Director, of the remarkable Guggenheim Museum in New York.  Mr. Sweeney's illustrious career includes lecturing, authorship and editorship.  In 1955, the French government paid him a high tribute when he was named Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.  His many books and articles on art brought Mr. Sweeney worldwide fame, and gradually he became a member and officer of 18 international cultural and honorary organizations.  He is also president of the International Association of Art Critics, head of the Edward MacDowell Association and honorary president of the International Federation of Motion Picture Arts in Paris. 




Henry Margenau



A leading member of the Sloane Physics Laboratory at Yale, Professor Margenau is a Consultant for the Atomic Energy Commission.  He began his teaching career at Nebraska University and then went to Yale where he served as Sterling Traveling Fellow and Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics.  Though Professor Margenau is best known around the nation for his contributions in the field of nuclear physics, his distinguished record also includes the associate editorship of Reviews of Modern Physics.  This publication is considered one of America's most authoritative professional magazines.  In 1952, he received national recognition when he was elected president of the Philosophy of Science Association.
