    Milestones

    Established

  • A chair: the Boyce D. McDaniel Professorship in Physics; at Cornell University; in a Jan. 18 ceremony at Cornellís Johnson Museum of Art. The chair is endowed by two of McDanielís former students, Helen and Don Edwards of Fermilab, who asked that the new professorship be awarded to a faculty member in the College of Arts and Sciences whose discipline is particle beam physics, and who would teach both graduate and undergraduate students in addition to performing research. David L. Rubin, professor of physics and director of accelerator physics at the Floyd R. Newman Laboratory of Nuclear Studies, received the first appointment to the chair.
