Oral History Interview with George Woods, June 11, 2008
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with George Woods. Woods was born in Phillips County, Montana 9 February 1921. One of nine children, he describes how the Great Depression affected his family. After graduation from high school in 1938, he worked various jobs until joining the Navy 14 December 1940. After completing boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Illinois, he entered hospital corpsman school at Norfolk, Virginia for twelve weeks. After working in the diet kitchen at the Annapolis Naval Hospital, Woods was sent to dental school. Upon graduation he became an assistant to a dental surgeon. In 1943 he was assigned to the USS Saunter (AM-295) and recalls several incidents involving attacks by kamikaze aircraft. Woods also recalls going aboard the stricken USS Franklin (CV-13) to assist with the wounded. He remembers seeing the 503rd parachuting on to Corregidor and tells how many were killed by ground fire while still in the air. He also recalls action that took place on Fort Drum and the measures taken to eliminate the enemy. While sweeping mines around Corregidor the Saunter hit a mine which blew off twenty feet of the keel, killing and injuring fourteen. The ship was towed to the United States where it was decommissioned. After the war, Woods was sent to China where he contracted pulmonary tuberculosis. He was returned to a hospital in California. He was later transferred to a TB sanatorium in Waukegan, Illinois and was discharged 5 May 1947
Woods Hall, c. 1943
No full textA black and white photograph of Springfield College's social and dining hall, Woods Hall taken from the south side, c. 1943.Woods Hall was erected on May 23, 1904 and dedicated on September 28 of that same year as a social and dining hall on campus. Eleanor S. Woods, a member of the Merriam family (Webster’s dictionary) donated $18,000 for the project having recognized the need for greater social opportunities for the students of the Training School. The central feature of Woods Hall was a dining room which could accommodate 125 or more guests. The first floor of the building also contained a parlor while the second floor was designated for dorm rooms. The building was renovated a number of times throughout its existence. During the summer of 1951 Woods Hall was completely revamped to accommodate the incoming freshman women, Springfield College’s first co-ed class. The faculty dining room, lobby, conference room and main dining hall were covered with bright tile flooring and an acoustic ceiling was built as well as modern recessed lighting. The most significant renovation occurred in 1961 at which time the building received a complete facelift leaving it unrecognizable as the original Woods Hall. In 2008, Woods Hall was demolished to make way for the construction of the Richard B. Flynn Campus Union which was dedicated on February 4, 2010.This image is part of a collection of photographs in various formats, including: black & white photo prints, prints mounted on board, Polaroid color print, and a panoramic print depicting Woods Hall and the construction of the Beveridge Center

Atlantic Ocean atlas of temperature and salinity profiles and data from the International Geophysical Year of 1957-1958
Get PDFFrom the Preface: Within the framework of the observational program in
physical oceanography which was executed during the
International Geophysical Year of 1957-58, the WOODS
HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION, Woods Hole, Massachusetts,
in partial association with the NATIONAL INSTITUTE
OF OCEANOGRAPHY, England, performed a methodical
oceanographic survey covering most of the Atlantic
Ocean. Supplemented with similar observations made in
the western North Atlantic just prior to the IGY, the
data obtained constitute a comprehensive new body of
information pertaining to the circulation of the entire
Atlantic. To summarize many of the observations in a
particularly useful and efficient manner, as well as to perform
a fundamental analysis upon them, the following
atlas of Atlantic thermohaline structure has been prepared.
Although distributions of other properties measured
on these cruises might also have been depicted in
this volume, it was felt that a more coherent and serviceable
atlas would be produced if attention were concentrated
exclusively upon temperature and salinity; the
measurements of these two variables, moreover, are of
consistent quality, since they were all made by a single
small research group employing the same techniques and
equipment throughout the survey period.The cost of preparation and publication of this atlas
was borne by a grant from the National Science Foundation,
made in support of the International Geophysical
Year Interdisciplinary Research Program
