American Association of Physics Teachers.
American Association of Physics Teachers Richard M. Sutton records, 1934-1949.
Correspondence, reprints, and photographs. The bulk of the correspondence (1934-1939) relates to Sutton's editorship of DEMONSTRATION EXPERIMENTS IN PHYSICS (1938), sponsored by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), and concerns soliciting of material, selection of editors and the allocation of editorial duties, writing of the text and final publication. The other principal area of correspondence concerns Sutton's term as president of AAPT (1940-1941) and his subsequent duties and interests in the Association, including programs to improve teaching of physics in secondary schools, the problem of retaining secondary school science teachers to compensate for wartime shortages in colleges and universities, and the Association's Oersted Medal. There are small amounts of budget-related material from the American Institute of Physics, and miscellaneous documents from the American Physical Society. The reprints relate to applied physics and physics education, including the American Council on Education. The photographs are of apparatus, some of which were used in Demonstration Experiments in Physics. Correspondents include Paul Klopsteg, Karl Lark-Horovitz, Harvey B. Lemon, Duane Roller, John Zeleny.
This professional society of teachers of physics in colleges, universities, and secondary schools, was established in 1930 to advance the teaching of physics and further the appreciation of the role of physics in society and culture. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics.
