Scope and content
F sorry to hear Compton too busy to do book on American science. Best known American writer on physical side is Dr K.K. Darrow of Bell Telephone Laboratories New York - almost yearly vistor to England and continent before war. Englishmen who long held chairs in American universities - W.F.G. Swann, H.A. Wilson (physicists) and H.S. Taylor (chemist). Swann 'pungent writer' but probably the oldest.
