Original caption: "Photo: Bill Moulton (Camera West) from Pacific Science Center/ Vannevar Bush, '16 ("the grand old man of science," said the Seattle Post-Intelligencer), was honored this spring in Seattle when he delivered the first Magnuson Lecture at the Pacific Science Center. Praising Senatore Warren G. Magnuson, whom the lecutes honor, Dr. Bush said that without his insight in the national legislature the nation would not today have its solid scientific base; Senator Magnuson's help, he said, made it possible for the U.S. to have the services of 6,000 of its most sophisticated men and women during World War II. Between Dr. and Mrs. Bush (above) at the dinner preceding his lecture is Thomas Carlile, president of the Pacific Science Center Foundation; and Senator Magnuson is at the right."
