Harvard Biologist
To Lecture Friday
Dr. Carroll M. Williams, a pro
fessor of biology at Harvard Uni
versity, will speak Friday night at
8 p.m. in the Biological Sciences
Lecture Room on the topic, “Hor
mones in the Development of In
sects.”
“Because of his ability to present
his research in an interesting and
exciting manner, Williams is in
heavy demand as a lecturer, and
has to reject many invitations to
speak,” Graduate School Dean
Wayne C. Hall said.
Williams, in a series of simple
experiments, demonstrated the role
of the various glands of internal
secretion in the metamorphosis
of insects. He participated in the
isolation of the hormones involv
ed. During his basic studies of
the physiology and biochemistry
of insects, and of the development
al process, he made many contri
butions that have wide implications
in many fields.
The lecturer is spending a sab
batical leave doing research after
completing a three-year tour as
chairman of the Department of
Biology at Harvard. During his
tenure as chairman, he continued
bis research and teaching, though
much of his energy was used in

Army Sophs Study
Rudder’s Rangers
Sophomore Army ROTC cadets
discovered this week that military
history wasn’t made entirely by
strangers — one of the command
ers they are studying is a man
they see every day: President Earl
Rudder.
Rudder was commander of a
Ranger force which lead the D-
Day assault on France in 1944.
This campaign is being studied in
depth as a part of the history
course which covers Allied opera
tions in Europe during World War
II.
Then a lieutenant colonel, Rudder
was assigned to the task of lead
ing a composite Ranger battalion
on an assault of the regged Nor
mandy cliffs of Point-du-Hoe to
destroy heavy Germany artillery
firing on American invasion beach
es.
Gen. Omar Bradley, command
ing the landings of the 1st Army
said that “no American in my
command has ever been wished a
more difficult task than that
which befell the 34-year-old com
mander of this Ranger force . . .”
Lead ashore by Rudder, the
Rangers scaled the cliffs under
heavy German firing. They des
troyed the guns after two days of
bitter fighting and high losses.
Though wounded three times, the
Aggie commander lead his batta
lion throughout the assault and
for his heroism was awarded the
Distinguished Service Cross.
