The Science and Government Program of the Caltech Humanities Division was sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation, 1960-1966. The program consisted of a series of seminars on arms control. Speakers from government (domestic and foreign), the military, and from the sciences and humanities were brought together. UCLA participated in the program beginning in the second year. At Caltech, the two original organizers were Professors David C. Elliot (history) and Matthew Sands (physics), with consistent support from Charles C. Lauritsen (physics). Representatives from academic institutions included Henry Kissinger from Harvard, James R. Killian and Jerome B. Wiesner from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and I. I. Rabi from Columbia.
