塞缪尔·R. 斯科尔斯奖讲座

John C. 毛罗·,Ph值.D.
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University

"Glass is a lifelong passion for me, starting from my childhood in the Alfred-Almond area. 在这个演讲中, 我用玻璃来反思我的个人旅程, from attending Scholes Lectures as a student at Alfred University through my return to Alfred today. I share my thoughts about how my education at Alfred University prepared me for success as both an industrial research scientist at Corning Incorporated and later in academia as a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State. I review several advances in glass physics and chemistry made during this time, including the development of new methods for designing and understanding industrial glass systems. 最后，我提出了一些关于追求工业vs的想法. 学术生涯.——约翰·c. Mauro

“…let us…each do our part in seeing that the materials inventions of our age are made to serve the high needs and destinies of the race…——塞缪尔·R. Scholes

皇冠体育app授予博士学位. Scholes an honorary Doctor of Science degree for his contributions as a 学者, 教育家, 管理员, 玻璃科学家. His name was also chosen for the Scholes Library of Ceramics, and the 塞缪尔·R. Scholes Lecture Series was established in honor of his interest in the history and philosophy of science. 作为《皇冠体育app》的作者, a highly acclaimed book on glass making (published continuously seven times between 1935 and 1975), Dr. Scholes helped standardize the process of glassmaking in the United States. 他还著有其他三本书:《皇冠体育app》, 玻璃罐式炉, 陶瓷的机遇.

在他从事玻璃行业的19年里, he championed automatic manufacturing and general control of raw materials and standardization. 他拥有改进玻璃熔炉的专利, 一种搅拌光学玻璃的方法, 从长石中提取钾. Dr. Scholes was educated at Ripon College (BA, 1905) and Yale University (Ph.D., 1911). 他是个诗人, 学者, and a scientific 教育家 of the highest caliber who believed in glass as the "eye of science, 光的载体."
