No.369, Emil L. Smith
No full textTranscript (258 pages) of interview by Robert Miller with Emil L. Smith on February 29, 1988-May 23, 1991. This interview is no. 369 in the Everett L. Cooley Oral History Project, and tape nos. U-1324 through U-1328, U-1351 and U-1352In a series of six interviews conducted in Los Angeles, California, Smith (b. 1911), Professor Emeritus of Biological Chemistry at UCLA (1962-1976) and former faculty member at the University of Utah (1946-1962), describes growing up in New York, his education and early work at Cambridge and Yale, his research over the years centered around enzymological protein structure, his election to the National Academy of Science and the textbook he coauthored, . Of particular interest are his descriptions of the early days of the 4-year medical school at the U of U and faculty members, Maxwell Wintrobe, Leo Samuels, Louis Goodman and Henry Eyring.

Is Smith College fulfilling its obligation? An Inquiry into Environmental Awareness upon Graduation
No full textThis project was an inquiry into the environmental awareness, in terms of behavior and beliefs, for graduating seniors of Smith College. Nineteen seniors were surveyed with a number of questions; some yes/no questions, and other open-ended questions, along with a ranking system at the end of the survey. The findings support my hypothesis that Smith College has far to go in becoming a pioneer in being green. Additionally, growth in awareness appears to have a bottom-up effect, with students pushing for policies and practices that support environmentalism; rather than a top-down effect with administration pushing for a more environmentally conscious and aware student body. While there are many courses offered at Smith College with at least some environmental content, my recommendations consist of specific courses added to the curriculum for the early stages of education at the institution. Additionally I make recommendations (many of which were recommended by the respondents) for smaller courses of action in order for Smith College to portray, and therefore encourage an environmental awareness that will lead to behaviors than may change the state of the world

Connections between Deicing Practices and Infrastructure on Water Chemistry of Lyman and Paradise Ponds at Smith College, Northampton, MA
No full textDeicing agents, especially sodium chloride salt, are widely used in northern climates to prevent roads and walkways from icing in the winter. However, the salt residue persists and accumulates in watersheds, and pollutes surrounding ecosystems. Smith is a microcosm community within Northampton that has a stormwater and landscape management plan that serves the College and is also adjacent to an important waterbody: the Mill River. Therefore, studying the deicing practices and stormwater infrastructure on campus can provide insight to the broader problem of road salt pollution.
In this study, I collected water samples from the Mill River, Lyman Pond, campus storm drains, and pipes that discharge into Paradise Pond, and analyzed these waters for their major ion chemistry and stable isotopic composition. I also analyzed the chemistry of each kind of deicing agent that Smith College uses and interviewed Physical Plant decision makers to document the stormwater designs and deicing practices applied to Smith’s roads and walkways. Water chemistry results revealed that pipes discharge storm runoff with high chloride concentration, up to 443 mg/L, to the Mill River all year round. One pipe receiving runoff from Elm Street/ Route 9, which is maintained by Northampton city, contributes the most salt pollutants to the Mill River, and its chloride concentration has never been lower than the standard of chloride concentration in drinking water from EPA (250mg/L). Chloride concentration in storm drains varies from 2mg/L to 554 mg/L, which may result from dense, salty water that accumulates in the sediment of storm drains due to high density. Of the three deicing agents used by Smith, sodium chloride from rock salt-sand mixture accounts for approximately 92-93% of the deicing pollution discharging to Paradise Pond, with magnesium chloride making up 4-8% of the balance. Smith’s additional deicing agents, Dead Sea Mag pellets and a liquid pretreatment, contribute magnesium chloride to a lesser extent, and their use decreases the need for rock salt application overall. Together, the chemical mixture of the different deicing agents reveals distinctive sodium-to-magnesium ratios in stormwater that vary spatially around campus and could be used as a tracer to distinguish relative salt inputs from campus versus the city. Indeed, while Smith College is discharging high salt concentration runoff to the Mill River, some suggestions are provided to reduce potential salt pollution
