    Extractions: Women in science doesn't happen too often even today. When Maria Goeppert was growing up, it was even more of a rarity. Maria Goeppert was born on June 28, 1906 in Kattowitz, Poland (then Upper Silesia, Germany). Maria was the only child of Friedrich Goeppert and Maria nee Wolff. She is the seventh straight generation of university professors on her father’s side. In 1910 her father went to Gottingen to be a professor of pediatrics at the university there. She went to private and public schools there and had wonderful teachers. Although it was not easy to do at the time, Maria was expected to attend the university there, not only by her parents but she expected it as well. There was only one privately funded school that prepared girls for the "abitur," or entrance exams, to the university. When the school was forced to close because of inflation, the teachers continued to privately tutor the students. Maria took her abitur in 1924 and enrolled at the school in the spring of the same year. Shortly before she received her degree, Maria met Joseph Mayer, an American working with James Franck. They married in 1930and moved to Baltimore where he worked at Johns Hopkins University. Seeing that it was the depression, no university was able to employ both a husband and wife. Also, nepotism rules were stringent and prevented her employment as well. Joseph had the more prominent career so he was employed, while Maria kept working just for fun. For the first few summers after moving to Baltimore, she went back to Goettingen to work with Max Born.

    Extractions: During the twentieth century women have made exponential strides towards equality with men. More and more women are taking traditional male jobs such as doctors, lawyers and scientists. One notable woman was Maria Goeppert-Mayer. She lived from 1906 -1972. From the time she was a little girl up to her death she struggled to find acceptance in the male dominated world of science. In her own quiet way she achieved scientific greatness, however it is unfortunate that her accomplishments are not well known. Goeppert-Mayer was a Nobel Prize winning physicists who did not give up on her dream to become a scientist merely because she was a female.

    Extractions: Maria Goeppert-Mayer Nuclear Physicist Maria Goeppert earned a Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 1930, when she was only twenty-four. Such a bright scientist would ordinarily have been sought after, but Dr. Maria Goeppert-Mayer was female. Although her thesis became a classic in the field, her marriage became an obstacle to finding paid employment. Maria Goeppert was born and educated in Germany, where she married an American scientist. After moving to the United States, the couple had two children and a problem: nepotism rules where her husband taught kept the physics department from employing Maria, too. She continued her research just the same, and during this period wrote papers on organic compounds that are still quoted in chemical journals, and co-authored with her husband the now classic textbook on statistical mathematics, Statistical Mechanisms. After years of working without pay, Maria Goeppert-Mayer took a teaching job at Sarah Lawrence College, and a position with the secret Manhattan Project on an aspect called Substituted Alloy Minerals (SAM). The goal: to separate uranium 235 from uranium 238, the first step for developing an atomic bomb. Moving on to the University of Chicago together, Maria Goeppert-Mayer became an associate professor of physics; but nepotism rules again kept her from being paid for her work. As senior physicist at the Agonne National Laboratory she finally salaried. There Maria Goeppert-Mayer's work on the "shell-model_ theory was ground-breaking. She often compared the nucleus of the atom and its particles to a waltz: "If you have ever waltzed, you know it is easier if each couple of whirls in the same direction that all of the other couples are circling the dance floor. It is the same in the nucleus. Each particle pins in the same direction that all are traveling in their orbits." For this discovery, she shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in physics with her collaborators, Dr. Hans Jensen and Dr. Eugene Wigner.

    Extractions: An accomplished physicist, Goeppert-Mayer made numerous contributions to the field of physics and was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for theoretical physics. Educated at the University of Goettingen, Germany, Mayer was initially attracted to math, but later shifted to physics. After her marriage in 1930, she left Germany for Johns Hopkins University, where her husband, Joseph E. Mayer, taught in the chemistry department. She received an assistantship in the physics department at Johns Hopkins. For most of her career, nepotism rules at universities where her husband worked prevented Meyer from holding full-time positions. During WWII, she worked on the Manhattan Project. In 1946, the Mayers moved to Chicago where, as a senior physicist at the newly formed Argonne National Laboratory, her interests turned to nuclear physics. She collaborated with Hans D. Jensen to publish Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure in 1955. In 1963, she and Jensen shared the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking work in models of the nucleus of atoms. In 1960, the Mayers moved to the University of California, San Diego, where she was appointed professor of physics, her first full-time paid position.

    Extractions: University of Chicago Nobel Laureates Seventy-four Nobel Laureates have been faculty members, students or researchers at the University of Chicago at some point in their careers. Eleven have won the Nobel Prize in the last decade alone. Of the 74 Laureates, 25 have won in Physics , 22 in Economic Sciences , 14 in Chemistry , 11 in Physiology or Medicine and two in Literature Michelson was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in any of the sciences. Six Laureates are currently members of the faculty: James Heckman (Economic Sciences, 2000), Robert Lucas (Economic Sciences, 1995), Robert Fogel (Economic Sciences, 1993), Gary Becker (Economic Sciences, 1992), Ronald Coase (Economic Sciences, 1991) and James Cronin (Physics, 1980). James Heckman , a Professor in Economics and Public Policy, studies methodologies used to measure the impact of social programs, such as minimum-wage legislation and anti-discrimination law. He shared the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for work on analyzing selective samples. Robert Lucas Robert Fogel , a Professor in the Graduate School of Business, shared the award for applying economics and statistics to the study of history. In his work on slavery in the United States, Fogel has argued that the market would not have ended slavery, as it remained a profitable and efficient system for slave owners.

    Extractions: Department Photographs: Summer 1925 Summer 1931 Autumn 2000 This review was written by Hellmut Fritzsche when he was Chairman of the Department in 1986. The Physics Department got off to a flying start in 1893 when A. A. Michelson , the most outstanding American scientist of the time, came to Chicago. He saw to the appointment of Robert A. Millikan and Arthur H. Compton , both of whom came to win the Nobel Prize. Michelson himself won the Nobel Prize in 1907, the first American to do so. Millikan's fame came from the oil drop experiment he did at Chicago. This established in a dramatic way the discrete value of the electric charge, whose value he measured with extraordinary precision. He won the Nobel Prize for providing, by means of the photo-electric effect, an experimental proof of the existence of the photon. Arthur Compton came to Chicago in 1923, fresh from his discovery of the quantum nature of the scattering of X-rays by electrons, an effect that bears his name and which helped establish the ideas of quantum mechanics. In 1930, Compton's scientific interest and the stamp of the Physics Department shifted from precision X-ray measurements to cosmic rays. His very productive group of investigators in cosmic rays included at various times such men as
