Matthew W. Carley was honored recently on the occasion of his retirement on September 30, after 45 years of service with Harvard, with a farewell party in the Gordon McKay Laboratory of Applied Physics.

One of his first jobs with the University was as an assistant to the director of the new Cruft Laboratory in connection with materials for instruction and research.

He was involved with the production of experimental vacuum tubes in Cruft and the pre-radar training courses held there during the Second World War. When the Lyman Laboratory was completed in 1931, he was appointed supervisor of the stockroom.

When the Gordon McKay Laboratory of Applied Physics was opened, Carley was put in charge of planning and organizing of the new stockroom, which now serves all of the work in bth Physics and the Division of Applied Physics.
