Scope and Content Note
The papers of Carl Henry Eckart (1902-1973) span the years 1921-1973, with
the bulk of the items concentrated in the period 1935-1970. Included are
biographical data, correspondence, lectures and writings, and subject
files.
Eckart's distinguished career as a physicist and physical oceanographer
spanned fifty years. His academic career, his involvement with professional
organizations, and his achievements are noted in the Biographical Data
series. Due to the classified nature of some of his research projects,
Eckart had to submit detailed security clearance forms. These, in addition
to biographical statements for the University of California, various
professional directories, and newspaper articles, yield much information.
Eckart authored more than seventy articles between 1923 and 1970. His
published works are listed in a bibliography in this series. Photographs
(1921-1973) of Eckart, his family, and colleagues are included here. His
significant achievements are recorded in several awards and certificates of
merit (1944-1971), including one signed by President Harry Truman (1948)
located in an oversize box. A folder of miscellaneous items contains his
mother's will (1953) and a statement (1971) regarding his decision in 1941
to withdraw from the "Uranium Committee" of the National Defense Research
Committee and the infant Manhattan Project because of his anti-atomic bomb
sentiments.
The General Correspondence series contains letters from Eckart's colleagues
and copies of his replies. Subject matter revolves around research
interests, academic affairs, and the internal management of professional
organizations. There is little personal correspondence. Significant
correspondents include P. A. M. Dirac (a 1935 letter discussing the
"Compton effect" and the interaction of radiation with electrons), Werner
Heisenberg (a 1936 letter stating the uncertainty of his plans to visit the
United States and a 1948 letter in German regarding a publication honoring
Arnold Sommerfeld ), Robert Andrews Millikan (a 1934 letter commenting on
Eckart's paper on cosmic-ray curves), Wolfgang Pauli (eight letters from
1935 to 1936 discussing the symbolic logic method's relation to physics,
Albert Einstein's opposition to the quantum theory, Heisenberg's cosmic ray
showers, and the Copenhagen conference of physicists), Erwin Schrodinger (a
1935 letter citing a published source for a 1919 speech), Arnold Sommerfeld
(several 1936 letters in German), and Eugene Paul Wigner (an undated letter
regarding his work on the representations of the Lorentz group in Hilbert
space).
Eckart was on the faculty of the University of Chicago during the years
when that institution was supervising the development of nuclear energy at
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (then known as the Clinton Laboratories )
in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. He remained in touch with his former colleagues in
this field even though he changed to the study of physical oceanography. In
1949 Alvin Weinberg offered Eckart the directorship of the Theoretical
Division of the laboratory. Eckart declined the position, and his response,
dated 12 May 1949, summarizes his philosophy of science and, in particular,
his dissatisfaction with nuclear physics and "Big Science."
Reprints of Eckart's scientific articles (1923-1968) are bound in four
volumes and placed at the beginning of the Lectures and Writings series.
The rest of the series contains, in alphabetical order by topic, Eckart's
mathematical calculations, notes, outlines, drafts, and correspondence
relating to his publications, classroom lectures, and research projects.
Early in his career Eckart was involved in theoretical physics. At the
University of Chicago , he taught courses in electrodynamics and circuit
theory. During the 1930s his research revolved around the developing field
of quantum physics--the nature of the atom and its components. By the end
of that decade he had become interested in thermodynamics and had published
a series of articles under the general title of "The Thermodynamics of
Irreversible Processes."
World War II was a turning point in Eckart's career. Prior to its official
involvement, the United States engaged in war preparations, including the
formation of the National Defense Research Committee in 1940. Eckart served
on this so-called "Uranium Committee" as a consultant to the subsection on
the theory of nuclear chain reactions. At a meeting of physicists and
chemists held at the University of Chicago during Christmas week 1941,
Arthur H. Compton and J. Robert Oppenheimer announced a reorganization of
the program, which would become known as the Manhattan Project. Although
the atom bomb was not specifically mentioned at this meeting, Eckart
realized that such a device could and would be developed. Opposed to such
an action, he withdrew from the project and became associated with the
underwater detection of submarines at the War Research Division of the
University of California .
It was through this detection work that Eckart became interested in the
physical properties and dynamics of oceans. After the war (1946), he left
the University of Chicago to become director of the Marine Physical
Laboratory of the University of California, and then director of the
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, also affiliated with the University of
California. He made a significant contribution to geophysics by linking
theoretical hydrodynamic exercises to actual physical properties of water.
The following decades were devoted to research on thermal layering in the
oceans and atmospheres (which led to his only book in 1960), the
transmission of sound in the sea, turbulence, the generation and structure
of surface and internal ocean waves, and air-sea interaction.
Late in his career (1970s), Eckart acquired an interest in the origin and
development of exact sciences. This interest is reflected in the Lectures
and Writings series under such topics as calendars (1971), history of
science (1971-1973), origins of geometry (1971-1972), and the problem of
Plato (1971-1973).
Eckart's participation in numerous organizations is documented in the
Subject File series. In 1952 he was elected to the National Academy of
Sciences and served on several of its committees. His work on the Committee
on Science and Public Policy is particularly noteworthy and is represented
by correspondence, memoranda, meeting agendas, reports, and notes on
meetings and conversations with colleagues. Additional material was
collected into a scrapbook (1967-1972), which covers such topics as the
environment and use of the earth's resources, financial support of
research, education of future scientists, relationship of the scientific
community to government, and technology and progress versus social
responsibility in light of the Vietnam War and the arms race.
Eckart also served as the University of California's alternate
representative to the Institute for Defense Analyses (1967-1968). The
institute, made up of twelve member universities, functioned as an
independent source of studies and advice for the Department of Defense. The
IDA's largest section was the Weapons Systems Evaluation Division, which
produced technical, operational, and economical analyses of various weapons
(including ballistic missiles), tactical strategies, and logistics. Other
sections prepared studies on economic, political, and communication matters
relating to national security. Eckart served at a time when, pressured by
anti-Vietnam War sentiments and congressional opposition, the IDA took
measures to diversify its work to include nondefense activities. The IDA
file contains minutes, reports, and Eckart's summaries of the institute's
actions.
The Subject File series contains material pertaining to Eckart's activities
as a reviewer for scientific journals (1958-1972), a consultant for
commercial firms such as General Dynamics Corporation and the Rand
Corporation (1959-1970), and as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board
for the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory's series on
applied mathematics and mechanics (1957-1959).
Eckart's long relationship with Pergamon Press, the publisher of his book
on oceans and atmospheres, is illuminated by correspondence and contracts
(1958-1972). Apparently, other publishers solicited the manuscript, which
became a standard work on the subject.
The file pertaining to the prominent mathematician, John Von Neumann,
consists chiefly of Eckart's contribution toward publishing some of Von
Neumann's works posthumously. Eckart later married Von Neumann's widow,
Klara.
A brief correspondence between Eckart and J. Robert Oppenheimer appears in
the file on sabbaticals. During his 1952 sabbatical, Eckart was invited to
join the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study,
Princeton University. The letters discuss Eckart's proposed research plans.
Also of interest in the Subject File series are Eckart's notes (1928)
compiled during his stay in Berlin, Germany, as a John Simon Guggenheim
Memorial Foundation fellow, a patent (1953) he received with George W.
Downs for an echo-ranging system, and notes (1926-1927) written by Nobel
Prize-winner, Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, using some of Eckart's equations for
his calculations.
