Biography

Victor Frederick Weisskopf was born in Vienna, Austria, on September 19, 1908, to Emil and Martha Weisskopf. After attending the gymnasium, where he joined a socialist student group and worked with the Social Democratic Party (Kaiser 2007, pp. 45-46), Weisskopf began to study physics at the University of Vienna. In 1928, following a recommendation by Hans Thirring, one of his professors in Vienna, Weisskopf went to Göttingen to continue his studies with Max Born. He received his Ph.D. in 1931 based on his work on the application of quantum theory to the width of spectral lines.

During his early research career Weisskopf continued working on the basic problems of quantum physics, first with Werner Heisenberg in Leipzig, where he went in the fall of 1931, followed by a brief period spent as a temporary research associate of Ernest Schrödinger in Berlin. In the summer of 1932 Weisskopf went to Kharkov, Soviet Union, where he lectured at the Physico-Technical Institute. A year-long Rockefeller Foundation grant, received in the fall of 1932, allowed him to join Niels Bohr and his group in Copenhagen, and Patrick Dirac in Cambridge, England. For two years, between 1934 and 1936, he held the position of research associate to Wolfgang Pauli at the Institute of Technology in Zurich. His last appointment in Europe was again with Niels Bohr in Copenhagen, where he worked from April 1936 to September 1937.

In the fall of 1937, to escape the growing Nazi threat, Weisskopf immigrated to Rochester, New York, where he was an instructor and then an assistant professor at the University of Rochester. From 1943 to 1946 Weisskopf served as deputy chairman (with Hans Bethe as chairman) of the theoretical division of the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos.

His decades-long association with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology began in 1945 when, recruited by Jerrold Zacharias, Weisskopf joined the faculty of the physics department, where he resumed his scientific research and assumed teaching duties as a professor of physics. In 1965 he was named Institute Professor, a position he held until his retirement in 1974. During that period, from 1967 through 1973, he served as the head of the Department of Physics and played a crucial role in the formation of the Center for Theoretical Physics. From 1974 until the end of his life Weisskopf held the titles of Institute Professor Emeritus and Professor of Physics Emeritus.

In addition to his scientific work, teaching, and administrative duties at MIT, Weisskopf played a major role in setting directions of research in high energy particle physics both in the US and in Europe. In 1960 he was invited to serve as the director general of CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), a position he assumed in 1961 and held through 1965. Upon his return to the US, he became heavily involved in the efforts leading to the creation of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel of the Atomic Energy Commission and served as its chairman from 1967 through 1973.

Throughout his life Weisskopf was involved in the activities of many professional societies, both in the US and abroad. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and served as its president from 1976 to 1979. As a fellow of the American Physical Society he held the position of vice president in 1959 and president in 1960. He was a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Arts and Sciences, and various international organizations including French, Austrian, Danish, Bavarian, Scottish, Spanish, and Russian academies.

Weisskopf received numerous awards for both his scientific and social contributions, including the Max Planck Medal of the German Physical Society in 1956, the George Gamow Medal in 1968, the Boris Pregel Prize from the New York Academy of Sciences in 1971, the Prix Mondial Cino del Duca for Humanism in 1972, the Ludwig Boltzmann Prize for 1976, the Ludwik Smoluchowski Medal in 1977, the Orden Pour le Merite in 1978, the US National Medal of Science in 1980, the Wolf Prize in Physics for 1981, the Ehrenzeichen der Republic Österreich für Kunst und Wissenschaft in 1982, the J. Robert Oppenheimer Medal in 1983, the Sigma Xi Proctor Award in 1984, the Enrico Fermi Award from the US Department of Energy in 1988, the Public Welfare Medal from the National Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1991, the Compton Medal for Statesmanship in Science from the American Institute of Physics in 1992, and the Gian-Carlo Wick Medal from the World Federation of Scientists in 1994. He also received numerous honorary degrees.

During his long career as a theoretical physicist Weisskopf made significant contributions to the fields of quantum electrodynamics, nuclear physics, and the physics of elementary particles. (For an overview of his scientific contributions, see Kaiser 2007, pp. 44-56; Jackson and Gottfried 2003, pp. 3-27; and Stefan 1998.) He was an inspired teacher and an avid advocate of nuclear disarmament, an open exchange of information among scientists of all nations, and the freedom of individuals to express their beliefs. Over his career, Weisskopf published over two hundred papers on a variety of topics including quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, science policy, and nuclear disarmament. He also authored and coauthored several books including Theoretical Nuclear Physics with John Blatt in 1952, Concepts of Particle Physics with Kurt Gottfried in 1984-1986, and an autobiography, The Joy of Insight: Passions of a Physicist, in 1991.

His first wife, Ellen (nee Tvede), whom he married in 1934, died in 1989. They were the parents of two children, Thomas Weisskopf and Karen Weisskopf Worth. In 1991 Weisskopf married Duscha Schmid. Weisskopf died on April 22, 2002, at the age of 93.

Scope and Contents of the Collection

Victor Frederick Weisskopf’s papers include correspondence, meeting agendas, minutes, reports, papers, newspaper clippings, audio tapes and cassettes, films, research notes and calculations, draft manuscripts, lecture and reading notes, and photographs and slides.

The papers document Weisskopf’s professional and personal life from the 1920s through 2002. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1960s through the early 1990s, reflecting his role as a physicist, educator, administrator, and advocate of social and political causes. While his activities before the 1960s are less fully represented, the collection includes materials from his early scientific career that provide insights into his educational background and research interests and projects. His professional collaborations and personal contacts with major people in the field of quantum physics are also documented. An extensive set of records documents Weisskopf’s relationship with CERN, mainly from the period when he served as a member of the CERN Scientific Policy Committee (1966-1977). His role as the chair of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel - HEPAP (1967-1973) is also well covered in the collection.

There are no original materials related to Weisskopf’s work at Los Alamos on the Manhattan Project. Most of the records pertaining to his administrative activities as chairman of MIT’s physics department and the head of the Center of Theoretical Physics are not included here, as most of them remained with the department. His active engagement in major scientific, social, and political issues is documented mainly in materials gathered in Series 6 (Organizations and Conferences) and Series 10 (Policy, Science, and Education Working Files).

Series 2. "My Life and Memorabilia" Scope and Contents note Series 2, “My Life and Memorabilia,” contains materials gathered and selected by Weisskopf during the later period of his life, mainly in preparation for writing his autobiography, The Joy of Insight: Passions of a Physicist, and should be used together with records located in other series, especially in Series 9, Research Working Files. The series title was derived from Weisskopf’s description of the bulk of the materials presented here. The materials listed under the heading “My Life” were divided by Weisskopf into separate sets, arranged chronologically. Summaries of his professional activities can be found in box 02.01, folders 1-2. Of special interest are the files from the 1920s and 1930s that document his educational experience and provide insight into his early research interests and projects. Selected course-related materials from 1926 through 1929 and from 1932 are in the folder “My Life: Vienna/Göttingen” (box 02.01, folder 3), and related lecture and reading notes are included in Subseries 9.A - Lecture and reading notes. Similarly, selected correspondence from his early research work can be found in “My Life: Copenhagen/Zurich,” while additional research materials from that period are located in Series 9 (box 09.02). Of particular interest is correspondence from the early 1939 pending publication of Frederick Joliot’s paper on nuclear fusion and the danger of its being used by German scientists to advance their country’s war efforts. In addition to these materials, the series includes sets entitled “Memorabilia” and “Interesting Letters and Writings.” Those consist of selected correspondence (original or copied) with his professional and personal friends, seminal scientific papers, mainly in physics, memorial talks and notes. Another set of materials included in this series, listed as “Poems and Physics Jokes,” includes issues of Journal of Jocular Physics (1935, 1945, 1955), typescript and proofs of Dante Aligheri’s “Rime Petrose” translated and adapted by Hans Mühlestein (1968), Göttinger Nachrichten: Festnummer zum 50 Geburstag von Prof. Dr. Max Born (1932), Die Leipziger Sondernummer der Zeitschrift für Physik (1937), among others. The series includes photographic prints (boxes 02.05-02.07), many unidentified and undated. Those which are dated are from the years 1934 through 1990. There are group photographs from many scientific meetings and portrait and candid photographs of a number of well-known physicists, including Niels Bohr, Hans Bethe, Wolfgang Pauli, Ernest Rutherford, and Lev Landau. Many of the prints depict Weisskopf receiving awards and honorary degrees. In addition, there are photographs of Weisskopf’s meetings with Pope John Paul II and with President Carter. There are also photographs of Weisskopf’s family and friends.

Series 3. General Correspondence Scope and Contents note Series 3, General Correspondence, is arranged in two subseries: chronological and alphabetical. Materials gathered here may relate to any facet of Weisskopf’s life and work. Materials arranged alphabetically (boxes 03.13-03.18) can be roughly divided into four groups. The first contains correspondence, incoming and outgoing, with individual scientists or institutions from countries other than the United States. Those materials are filed together under the name of a particular country and gathered under “Foreign Countries.” The second group is a large set of correspondence with publishers and a small amount of material containing readers’ responses to some of Weisskopf’s publications. The third is a set of correspondence regarding Weisskopf’s speaking engagements and participation in various conferences, meetings, symposia and summer schools, and invitations for him to serve on committees and boards of various institutions and organizations. Related materials, entitled as requests and refusals, are mainly from the 1970s. The fourth group consists of correspondence related to his travels during the same period.

Series 4. Contact Files Scope and Contents note Series 4, Contact Files,includes correspondence (original or copied), papers and articles, and other materials related to individual people with whom Weisskopf collaborated or had contact during his professional life. As in Series 3, materials gathered in this series contain information on topics found elsewhere in the collection. Some of the folders may not include correspondence, consisting instead of papers and articles written by that person, or information about him or her and their work. For instance, materials filed under “Ahrendt, Hannah” (box 04.01, folder 3) contain Ahrendt’s five-part article on Adolf Eichmann’s trial published in 1963 in The New Yorker. The folder titled “Gottfried, Kurt” (box 04.04, folder 6) contains Gottfried’s 1980 course notes on “The Electroweak Interaction and Attempts at Grand Unification.” Correspondence regarding Weisskopf’s introduction to Elizabeth Heisenberg’s book on Werner Heisenberg can be found in box 04.05, folder 3, under “Heisenberg, Werner and Elizabeth,” and materials related to Thomas Powers’s book ( Heisenberg's War: the Secret History of the German Bomb, 1993) in box 04.09, folders 1-2, under “Powers, Thomas.”

Series 5. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Materials Scope and Contents note Series 5, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Materials, contains correspondence, minutes, reports, and course notes related to Weisskopf’s activities at MIT as a faculty member, head of the physics department, and professor emeritus. Administrative records, from the years 1966 through 1980, consist of memoranda, correspondence, and minutes from various committees Weisskopf served on, materials related to the founding of the Center for Theoretical Physics, and visiting committee records, as well as materials on general issues concerning the physics department at MIT. Course materials from the years 1953 through 1978 include lecture notes prepared for students from the courses Weisskopf taught at MIT. The earliest sets cover the lectures on “Advanced Quantum Mechanics” (1950) and “Relativistic Quantum Mechanics I and II” (1953-1954), followed by notes on the theory of nuclear structure (1956), “Electricity and Magnetism” (1975), and “Atoms, Genes, and Stars” (1978). In addition, the series contains records related to gatherings of faculty from different schools at MIT, so they could become acquainted with each other’s fields of expertise. Those records, from the years 1987 through 1993, can be found in box 05.04, folders 7-8 and box 05.05, folders 1-6, under the title “MIT Symposium.” Symposium-related records include general correspondence, various reading materials prepared by individual speakers, and Weisskopf’s notes on “What Is Quantum Mechanics?” and “The Physics and Politics of the SSC.”

Series 6. Organization and Conference Files Scope and Contents note Series 6, Organization and Conference Files, contains correspondence, agendas, meeting minutes, reports, and other materials concerning Weisskopf’s activities and contacts with various national and international organizations and his participation in major conferences. Records concerning his activities related to CERN and HEPAP are not located here, and can be found in Series 7 and 8, respectively. Records in this series are arranged alphabetically by the name of organization (Subseries 6.A - Organizations) or by the name of the conference (Subseries 6.B - Conferences). They depict Weisskopf’s active involvement in major scientific, social, and political issues of the time. Included are large sets of records depicting activities of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) between 1969 and 1978, and activities of its International Committee on Future Accelerators (ICFA) in the late 1970s. Records filed under Institute of High Energy Physics, Serpukhov, Russia, document efforts to foster international collaboration in high-energy particle physics in the 1960s and 1970s. Minutes, correspondence, and reports of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (chaired by Weisskopf between 1976 and 1979) provide an account of the symposia, educational activities, and other events organized by the academy, but also include correspondence between members regarding the situation of Soviet scientists in the early 1990s, after the collapse of communism (box 06.02, folder 1). Materials documenting earlier efforts to overcome difficulties faced by foreign scientists in obtaining American visas in the 1950s and 1960s can be found in the records of the Federation of American Scientists (box 06.06, folder 4), American Physical Society (box 06.03, folder 12), and materials related to The Sixth Annual Rochester Conference on High Energy Nuclear Physics (box 06.24, folder1). Relatively large sets of material are related to Weisskopf’s deep involvement in efforts towards peace and arms control. Those can be found in the records gathered under “Pugwash Conferences” (1957-1997), “Union of Concerned Scientists” (1977-2000), and “Pontifical Academy” (1975-1999). Of particular interest among the Pontifical Academy materials are the records depicting the efforts of the academy members to make nuclear disarmament one of Pope John Paul II’s top concerns in the early 1980s. The global character of Weisskopf’s concerns is well illustrated not only by his involvement in those organizations and his talks and writings on the responsibility of scientists (see Series 11, Writings and Presentations), but also by his participation in activities of the International Council of Human Duties, which in the early 1990s under Rita Levi Montalcini drafted an important document entitled “Declaration of Human Duties” as a counterbalance to the “Declaration of Human Rights.” For additional materials related to Weisskopf’s peace-related activities see Series 10, Science, Policy, and Education Working Files. The second subseries (Subseries 6.B - Conferences) contains materials related to the Niels Bohr Centennial (1985), Copenhagen Meetings (1987-1990), Albert Einstein Centenary (1979), and Wolfgang Pauli Symposium (1999-2000), among others.

Series 7. European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Materials Scope and Contents note Series 7, European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) Materials, contains correspondence, reports and publications, and materials related to the Pauli's Letters Project. While there is a relatively small quantity of records documenting Weisskopf’s term as director general of CERN, there are reports and correspondence concerning his term as a member of the Scientific Policy Committee (1966-1977) and his activities during his yearly summer visits at CERN. Included are copies of the lecture notes he presented to students and experimental physicists at the laboratory. Corresponding notes, transparencies, and slides used in talks can be found in Series 11, Writings and Presentations. Weisskopf had been intimately involved with a multi-year project to publish Wolfgang Pauli’s letters since Mrs. Franca Pauli, Pauli’s widow, made a first bequest of part of her late husband’s estate to CERN in 1960. The series includes a large amount of material related to the project (Subseries 7.B - Wolfgang Pauli’s Letters Project) consisting of Weisskopf’s correspondence with Mrs. Pauli, Armin Hermann and Karl von Meyënn (co-editors), and with others; copies or transcripts of Pauli’s letters; materials concerning translations; and records related to the works of the Pauli Committee. Of special interest is a small notebook given to Weisskopf in 1964 by Mrs. Pauli and inscribed “Winter Semester, 1927-1928.”

Series 8. High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) Materials Scope and Contents note Series 8, High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) Materials, contains records of an important government committee reporting to the Atomic Energy Commission (now the US Department of Energy). HEPAP, founded in 1966, advises government agencies about the needs and future plans of the high energy physics community and negotiates the financial support the government provides. The records include correspondence, budgets, minutes, agendas, HEPAP reports, and reports from various national laboratories. The bulk of materials relate to Weisskopf’s role as chairman of HEPAP from 1967 to 1973 and document the role the panel members played in shaping science policies and promoting open communications between the United States government and the high-energy physics community nationwide. They also provide insight into the important issues facing federally funded physics laboratories from the late 1960s through the mid-1980s.

Series 9. Research Working Files Scope and Contents note Series 9, Research Working Files, constitutes a major part of the collection documenting Weisskopf’s research and science-related activities from the 1920s through the 1990s. The records, accessioned over a time span of more than twenty years, include copious sets of his original research working files: research notes and calculations, correspondence (original and copied), manuscripts and drafts of papers and book chapters, comments, background materials, and science-related subject files. Together with materials included in Series 10, Writings and Presentations, they document Weisskopf’s scientific interests and activities and their evolution for more than seventy years, from quantum electrodynamics, through the theory of nuclear reactions, particle physics, to popularization of science and preoccupation with global issues for which scientists should assume responsibility. The materials are arranged in a rough chronological order, starting with lecture and reading notes taken in the 1920s and 1930s (Subseries 9.A - Lecture and Reading Notes), through research materials reflecting Weisskopf’s work in different periods of his life (Subseries 9.B - Research Materials, 1930s-1990s), to a large set of notes, drafts, and background files created in preparation for publication of a book on qualitative physics (Subseries 9.C - “Search for Simplicity”). “Search for Simplicity,” a collaborative project between Weisskopf and Herbert Bernstein, was to be based to a large extent on the works previously published, especially in the popular “Search for Simplicity” columns that appeared in the American Journal of Physics in 1985 and 1986. In addition to files directly related to the book project, records grouped under the “Search for Simplicity” heading include sets of research notes and calculations from earlier periods that are pertinent to the topics to be covered in the final text. The last group of materials included in this series, Subseries 9.D - Research Subject Files, consists mainly of copies of articles on different subjects, sometimes accompanied by correspondence and notes. Folder titles were assigned by Weisskopf when he organized his files sometime in the 1990s. The subseries also includes several folders containing original notes and calculations made in preparation for papers on specific topics. For instance, materials regarding Weisskopf’s work on superconductivity and related to publication of a German version of his paper on the subject, published in 1992, can be found under the heading “Superconductivity” (box 09.19, folder 3). Similarly, working files for the manuscript by Herbert Lin and Weisskopf, “The Production of Water-Waves by Wind,” can be found under “Waves” and “Waves and Atmosphere” (box 09.20, folders 1-2).

Series 10. Science, Policy, and Education Working Files Scope and Contents note Series 10, Science, Policy, and Education Working Files, consists of materials depicting Weisskopf’s activities and interests that are not directly related to his scientific research and writings. The series includes files illustrating Weisskopf’s involvement in efforts towards peace and nuclear arms reduction, including what he called his “Bomb speeches,” manuscripts of the talks he gave in the 1980s. Those records are grouped under “Peace and Arms Control” (Subseries 10.E - Peace and Arms Control) and complement the materials included in Series 6, Organization and Conference Files, under the names of specific organizations (Pugwash, Pontifical Academy, Union of Concerned Scientists, and others). Weisskopf’s interest in Austria, China, Germany, and Russia and his contacts and visits to those countries are reflected in the records gathered in the Subseries 10.D - International Connections, and arranged by the name of the country. Records pertaining to China provide documentation of the efforts to re-establish scholarly ties with China in the early 1970s. Most of the materials are related to the activities of the Committee on Scholarly Communication with The People’s Republic of China (CSCPRC), the organization sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies, National Academy of Sciences, and the Social Science Research Council. Weisskopf visited China in May-June 1973 as a member of an official, interdisciplinary CSCPRC delegation to China, and in September 1975 as one of the four delegates from CERN. Of special interest is a typescript of Weisskopf’s “Report on My Visit to China,” transcribed by him from the real-time sound recordings he made during the 1973 trip. Files on Russia include correspondence, reports, and other materials related to collaboration with Soviet physicists in the 1970s, mainly in the field of high energy physics. They also contain some materials from the 1980s concerning treatment of Russian scientists, including Andrei Sakharov. Additional records depicting Weisskopf’s contacts with foreign scientists, organizations, and institutions can be found in Subseries 3.B - Alphabetical Correspondence, in the section on “Foreign Countries”; in Series 4, Contact Files; and in Series 6, Organization and Conference Files. In addition, the series contains a set of records related to Weisskopf’s interest in the history of physics and science (Subseries 10.C - History of Physics and Science). Those records consist of copies of important papers in physics published in the 20th century, some correspondence, and papers on the history of physics. Remaining materials are related to Weisskopf’s participation in the efforts toward improvement of science teaching at the high school level (Subseries 10.A - Education) and his interests in various issues including energy, the environment, religion, biology, and philosophy (Subseries 10.B-General).

Series 11. Writings and Presentations Scope and Contents of the Collection Series 11, Writings and Presentations, consists of two subseries: Writings and Presentations, and Speeches (Notes and Slides). Subseries 11.A, Writings, contains Weisskopf’s papers (published and unpublished), editorials, book reviews, and typescripts of selected speeches. The early papers are focused mainly on research in physics, while the later writings are more concerned with popularization of science and with social and political topics. Folders are arranged chronologically, with undated papers gathered at the end. It is worth noting that the first paper included here is a copy of the handwritten text of “Die Entstehung der Welt im Lichte der Neuesten Forschung” (The Emergence of the World in Light of Recent Research), written by Weisskopf in 1922 when he was barely seventeen years old. Subseries 11.B, Presentations (Notes and Slides), consists of handwritten notes, transparencies or their paper copies, and slides used by Weisskopf during his many speeches on scientific and other matters conducted over a period of more than thirty years, starting with the talk given at the APS meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1959, and ending with the one on “Science and the Irrational” presented in Newton and Andover, Massachusetts, in 1993. Folders are arranged chronologically, with undated materials gathered at the end. Sets of slides, mostly undated, can be found in boxes 11.21-11.22. They are identified by the titles on their original boxes. A sample of those titles includes “Origin of the Universe,” “Popular Science,” “High Energy Physics,” “Nuclear Physics,” “CERN,” “Bohr,” and “Copenhagen.”

Subseries 11B. Presentation Notes and Slides Scope and Contents note Series 11, Writings and Presentations, consists of two subseries: Writings and Presentation Notes and Slides. Subseries 11A - Writings contains Weisskopf’s papers (published and unpublished), editorials, book reviews, and typescripts of selected speeches. The early papers are focused mainly on research in physics, while the later writings are more concerned with social and political topics. Folders are arranged chronologically, with undated papers gathered at the end. It is worth noting that the first paper included here is a copy of the handwritten text of “Die Entstehung der Welt im Lichte der Neuesten Forschung” (The Emergence of the World in Light of Recent Research), written by Weisskopf in 1922 when he was barely seventeen years old. Subseries 11B - Presentation Notes and Slides, consists of handwritten notes, transparencies or their paper copies, and slides used by Weisskopf during his many speeches on scientific and other matters conducted over a period of more than thirty years, starting with the talk given at the American Physical Society meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1959, and ending with the one on “Science and the Irrational” presented in Newton and Andover, Massachusetts, in 1993. Folders are arranged chronologically, with undated materials gathered at the end. Sets of slides, mostly undated, can be found in boxes 11.21-11.22. They are identified by the titles on their original boxes. A sample of those titles includes, among others, “Origin of the Universe,” “Popular Science,” “High Energy Physics,” “Nuclear Physics,” “CERN,” “Bohr,” and “Copenhagen.”
