Chemistry open house (University of Southern California), 1951

11 images. Chemistry open house (University of Southern California), 8 December 1951. Doctor Karl J. Mysels experiments with liquid air; Robert Greiner (glass blower).; Supplementary material reads: "Adler -- Assign. Chemistry open house. Illustrated. Sunday. Basic principles of modern science were presented to scores of Los Angeles high school youths yesterday at the University of Southern California. The occasion was an open house program given by the University's chemistry department and sponsored by the student affiliate of the American Chemical Society. Demonstrations included one by Dr. Karol J. Mysels on the utilization of liquid air during which he startled prospective students by 'smoking' a liquid oxygen-soaked cigar in a matter of seconds. Later, he smashed a rubber ball to bits with a hammer and drove a small piece of rubber into a block of wood like a nail. Both had been 'frozen' by liquid air. W.L. Korst, graduate student in the department, and a glass blowing exhibition by Robert Greiner. Dr. Harold Miller, of the SC School of Medicine, delivered a lecture on 'Chemicals and Their Relationship to Medicine', supplemented by a film on cardiac surgery. Dr. James C. Warf, assistant professor of chemistry, was in charge of the program".

本数据集共收录11张照片，记录了1951年12月8日南加州大学（University of Southern California）化学开放日的活动现场。画面中卡尔·J·迈泽尔斯博士（Karl J. Mysels）正在开展液态空气相关实验，罗伯特·格赖纳（Robert Greiner）为玻璃工艺师。
补充说明原文如下："阿德勒供稿。化学开放日活动，附现场实拍图。本次活动于周日举办。昨日，南加州大学面向数十名洛杉矶高中生展示了现代科学的基本原理。此次活动由该校化学系主办，美国化学学会（American Chemical Society）学生分会协办。现场演示环节包括：卡罗尔·J·迈泽尔斯博士带来的液态空气应用实验——他将一根浸过液态氧的雪茄在数秒内引燃冒烟，令在场的准学生们大为惊叹；随后他用锤子将一颗经液态空气冷冻的橡胶球砸得粉碎，还将一小块经冷冻的橡胶像钉子一样钉入木块中。化学系研究生W·L·科斯特（W.L. Korst）参与协助，另有罗伯特·格赖纳带来的玻璃吹制展示。南加州大学医学院的哈罗德·米勒博士（Harold Miller）发表了题为《化学物质及其与医学的关系》的演讲，并辅以一部心脏外科主题影片。本次活动由化学系助理教授詹姆斯·C·沃夫博士（James C. Warf）统筹负责。
