Tinkham Named to Physics Faculty; Kramnick Accepts Post at Brandeis; Hopkins to Teach at Washington U.

Michael Tinkham, professor of Physics at the University of California at Berkeley, will join both the department of physics and the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics next fall.

Tinkham will become professor of physics and Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Physics.

Superconductivity

At California. Jones said, Tinkham conducted "pioneering experiments" using infrared radiation to study subtle changes in matter when it is magnetized or when it enters a state of "superconductivity" at temperatures near absolute zero.

In other news of the faculty:

Issac Kramnick '59, instructor in Government, will teach at both Brandeis and Harvard next year. He has accepted an appointment as assistant professor of Politics at Brandeis. but he will also lecture in Government 1b next spring.

Arthur A. Maass, chairman of the Government Department, said last week that Kramnick's split teaching was not part program of teacher-sharing between the two schools. Kramnick will be lecturing in Gov 1b simply because the Department had already appointed him to that when he accepted his professorship at Brandeis, Maass said.

Carl J. Friedrich, Katon Professor of the Science of Government, who usually teaches Gov 1b, will be on sabbatical next

Kramnick, an Instructor since January 1965, has been a section man in Gov 1 for the past four years.

*Johns W. Hopkins, assistant professor of Biology, will leave Harvard next year to become chairman of the Department of Biology at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo.

Together with George Wald Hopkins has taught Natural Sciences 5 since 1960. According to former students, Hopkins lectures on genetics and embryology have helped make the course one of the most popular in the University.

Chicken Eggs

One former Nat Sci 5 student applauded Hopkins as being "the only guy in the University who could make the development of a chicken egg really mean something to me."

Hopkins, a specialist in molecular biology, became an assistant professor in 1962. Besides teaching Nat Sci 5 he has given lectures in Nat Sci 6, and several upper-level Biology courses.
