The University celebrates the opening of the Harvard Cyclotron Laboratory at 44 Oxford St. Harvard built the first such machine in 1937, but the federal government drafted it during World War II. It was taken apart and shipped to Los Alamos, N.M., in 1943, for service in designing the first atomic bombs. After the war, the government never gave back the cyclotron, so Harvard received funds from the Office of Naval Research to build a new one, completed in 1949. From then until 1967, physicists from many parts of the world used the machine to increase knowledge about the nature of atoms and their interactions with each other.
