Description

Two graduate students, Stuart Collins (left) and Charles Davis (right) use some electrical equipment in the Karl Taylor Compton Laboratories at MIT. Original caption 1: "One of labs in Compton Lab Bldg." Original caption 2: "'Business and education are moving together in an atmosphere of growing mutual understanding and respect. They are doing so because they have to. With each of them, it is almost a question of survival.' Except for the direct employment by industry of college graduates, probably no clearer link exists between the two than that of research in the physical and life sciences. Shown at the left are two research workers delving into a problem of electronics in the new Karl Taylor Compton Laboratories which were opened for academic use last fall. The Compton Laboratories Building is the administrative center for the Research Laboratory of Electronics and for the Laboratory for Nuclear Science at M.I.T."
