Andrews, Howard Lucius, 1906-
Howard L. Andrews response to History of Modern Astrophysics Survey, 1980.
Three-page essay entitled Physics in Change, 1930-1980, which discusses Andrews' early plans for an engineering degree and his decision to switch to physics; the conditions graduate students endured in the 1930s; his work and living conditions in the 1950s and 1960s; funding support; how his own brand of "string and bottle" physics has led him into biophysics, psychology, radiation biology and "to an intimate connection with a law school"; and some general thoughts on the current state of physics research. File also includes a brief letter to Spencer Weart, director of AIP Center for History of Physics.
