content: This subseries 
contains the manuscripts, sometimes in several drafts, of papers published in the September-October 1986 issue of the American Scientist. This issue celebrated the one-hundredth anniversary of Sigma Xi, a scientific society. Melvin Kranzberg was guest editor for this edition of the journal, working with Michelle Press and the regular staff of American Scientist. Many of the papers were given orally on April 16, 1986 at the Sigma Xi Centennial celebration at Cornell University, where Sigma Xi was founded. They were later edited by Mr. Kranzberg for publication. The material is filed alphabetically by author, together with correspondence relating to it.
