Guggenheim II. Europe Again in 1932–1933

Abstract

In the fall and winter of 1932–33, I went with Mary Helen to Europe for the second half of the Guggenheim Fellowship. I had planned at first to attend a meeting of the German Physical Society in Hamburg in September. To reach there, we might have gone directly on a Hamburg—America line steamship. However, the Canadian Pacific Line offered at the same cost an alternative routing which appealed to us; namely, first to Glasgow, Scotland, where we had a few days to see some of Edinburgh and also Loch Lommond and the west; then to Newcastle, England. While in Newcastle I talked to W.E. Curtis at the University of Durham on molecular helium (He₂) bands.
