Biosphere 2: A Place for Integrative Studies in Chemical Research and Chemical Education in Defense of Planet Earth

Closing in on its 250th birthday, the fifth oldest university in the United States has recently demonstrated its remarkable resilience by establishing a western campus at the Biosphere 2 Center (in the desert of Arizona). In so doing, Columbia University (in the city of New York) has made a commitment to what may well be the ultimate problem of the 21st century--the environment. We describe a number of seminal programs that cut across the traditional domains of education, research, and public outreach. Included are an Earth Semester; a model for graduate student training and education; and a broadly interdisciplinary collaborative research program in chemistry. At the same time, we have not forgotten to include some of the relevant history of the Biosphere 2 Laboratory.

No magic formulas

During this vacation period in the late summer of 1944, the janitors of the Western Kentucky State Teachers College are hard at work removing from the floors of halls and classrooms the black marks left by heavy-soled G. I. shoes. The wearers of the shoes were some 1,600 aviation students, members of the 321st College Training Detachment of the Army Air Forces, stationed on the Western campus from April 3, 1943, until June 30, 1944. There must be several thousand college janitors-and administrators-in the United States who would be glad to know it if our janitors have discovered a quick, easy way to remove those marks. I am sorry to report that they haven't. They tell me that several trips over the floor with a heavy, electrically-powered rotary brush and strong cleansing powder, then several more with vigorously administered floor mops and clear water, and then a few hours of concentrated attention on individual spots of an especially stubborn disposition leave the floor in only a reasonably good condition for rewaxing. The Army left behind no magic formula for the rehabilitation of floors.
