The Bascomb-Goldschmidt-Porter correspondence, 1907 to 1922 (1993)

unapi

Description Examines the correspondence among Florence Bascom (1862-1945), Mary Porter (1886-1980) and Victor Goldschmidt (1853-1933). “A 15-year segment of the decades-long correspondence among these mutual friends reveals the personal significance of Goldschmidt, his wife, and Porter to Bascom; the enabling roles that Bascom and Goldschmidt played in the education of Porter, who had had little formal schooling; and some effects of the 1st World War on the science of crystallography in Germany, England, & the U.S.”
