William A. Crump '44Physics LecturesOutside of the classroom, students have opportunities to participate in a variety of lectures and specialprograms with professional scientists. lhe annual William A. Crump '44 Physics Lecture, now in its seventhyear, has brought world renowned physicists to campus, including two Nobel Prize winners.2005Lawrence M. Krauss, Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Chair of the Physics Departmentat Case Western Reserve University, is an internationally known theoretical physicist whose researchinterests include the interface between elementary particle physics and cosmology. He is also the author ofseveral popular books on physics, including the international bestseller, The Physics of Star Trek and, morerecently, Atom: An Odyssey from the Big Bang to Life on Earth. He is widely recognized for his contributions tothe cultural, artistic and humanistic dimensions of physics. In his talk "Science, Non-Science, and Nonsense:From the White House to the Classroom;' Professor Krauss explained how the distinctions between cience,pseudoscience and plain nonsense are often blurred in popular discourse and sometimes misused for politicalobjectives. He also stressed the dangers facing modern society if the teachings of science about the world areignored.2004Robert P. Kirshner, Clowes Professor of Science at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics andPresident of the American Astronomical Society, leads a team of astronomers and astrophysics that hunts forHigh-Z supernovas halfway across the universe. By analyzing the light of these exploding stars that started itsvoyage to earth over 6 billion years ago, they discovered in 1998 that the universe is expanding at an everincreasingrate. This finding, which shook the theoretical foundations of astrophysics, has now been confirmedmany times. In his talk, ''A Blunder Undone: The Accelerating Universe;' Dr. Kirshner recounted the storyof this remarkable discovery and the omnipresent hypothetical form of matter, called "dark energy;' whoseantigravitational effects may explain the universe's accelerated expansion.2003Maria Spiropulu of the Enrico Fermi Institute of the University of Chicago is a rising star among a new generationof high-energy particle physicists who are seeking experimental clues to support the most current theoriesof matter at its most fundamental level. Her research focuses on the remnants of collisions between subatomicparticles traveling at near-light speed in Fermilab's Tevatron, the world's highest-energy particle accelerator.In particular, she is looking for evidence of the existence of higher dimensions in the Universe, which is justone prediction of string theory. Her talk, entitled "Particle Physics Probes of Extra Dimensions;' reviewed theexciting progress in this field.2002Russell Hulse of The Princeton Plasma Physics Institute was the co-recipient of the 1993 Nobel Prize inPhysics for his discovery of binary pulsars. Pulsars are ultra-dense and rapidly-spinning neutron stars whoseimmense magnetic fields send out intense regular bursts of radio waves with each revolution. Neutron stars,which form when energy-spent stars collapse under their own weight, are so dense that one teaspoon of theirmaterial weighs two billion tons. Binary pulsars are mutually orbiting pairs of such stars. Dr. Hulse's discovery,which followed from his insightful and relentless pursuit of anomalous signals from the Mount Arecibo Radiotelescope in Puerto Rico, provided physicists with unique possibilities for the study of Einstein's theory ofgravity, or general relativity. In his talk, Dr. Hulse recounted his personal journey of discovery, made while hewas still a graduate student.
THE ISUAlll ANDPERF ORMIN ARTSThe visual and performing arts program atSt. Andrew's seeks to foster an understandingand appreciation of a broad range ofartistic forms, while encouraging students todevelop personally as expressive and creativeindividuals. Courses provide instruction inthe theoretical, historical and cultural backgroundof the arts, as students grow in theirown artistic understanding through formaltraining, free expression and close contactwith established faculty artists who cultivatetheir own work side-by-side with students.TI1is dynamic interadion allows our studentsand faculty to gain a strong sense of the artsas a means for investigating and celebratingthe world in which they live.Iwodudion to the Artr(III F(!Ym, re
