In May, 1917, I was one of a group of about forty physicists summoned to Washington to a conference, under the auspices of the National.Research Council, at which the submarine menace and the problem of submarine detection.:::eset forth in detail by repre- sentatives from England, France, and Italy. At this conference the problem of detecting and locating submarines was put squarely up to the American physicists and engineers. Taking advantage of information given out at this meeting, I RsnXXxxxflannxXXn:began experimenting along a new line, though for some weeks I had been privately trying out various devices for submarine detection in the laboratory at Wesleyan. Ugfln the suggestion of the National Re- search Council, I soon transferred this work to the Research Laboratory of the General Electric Company in Schenectady, N.Y., where experiments of a somewhat similar nature were also just begin- ning to be undertaken. I Spent the academic year 1917-18 at Wes- leyan, but still co—operated with other groups, first at Schenectady, and later with professors Pupin, Wills, and Morecroft at Columbia. In February and Narch, 1918, I Spent some weeks with the latter gentlemen at the Navy Yard in Key‘West, and carried on the same experimental werk most of the summer of 1918 at the Naval Experi- mental Station in New London, Conn.. During much of this time I had the aid of a Special assistant detailed teahiddletown from the Bureau of Standards in Washington. The work was still in the eXperimental stage when the Armis— tice came, but was deemed by the Navy Department of sufficient im- portance to be continued for some months longer. It is not yet permitted to disclose the nature of the devices that were being developed. Show less

Dear Sir: The Alumni Council. which has hitherto kept the most accurate record at Wesleyan concerning her sons in the service, is entrusted with the task of compiling a more complete war ser- vice record than exists up to date.
