[79][80] It was also found to have the highest faculty citation rate in the world. Page. Lyndie Chiou, a Caltech Black alumna, graduated with a bachelors degree in applied physics in 1996. On Ditch Day, the seniors ditch school, leaving behind elaborately designed tasks and traps at the doors of their rooms to prevent underclassmen from entering. A few years later Rusty Schweickart Jr. (whose father walked in space on Apollo 9) was elected house president. Rotation is available only during the first year and cannot be deferred; however, individual house membership remains available throughout a student's career. In a 1999 Caltech oral history, Browne noted that expanding access to and awareness of Caltech and STEM studies for all students was the focus of his job: I believe that anybody that wanted to do science and mathematics and engineering should be able to go wherever they wanted to go to school, he said. On November 29, 1921, the trustees declared it to be the express policy of the institute to pursue scientific research of the greatest importance and at the same time "to continue to conduct thorough courses in engineering and pure science, basing the work of these courses on exceptionally strong instruction in the fundamental sciences of mathematics, physics, and chemistry; broadening and enriching the curriculum by a liberal amount of instruction in such subjects as English, history, and economics; and vitalizing all the work of the Institute by the infusion in generous measure of the spirit of research". 11(1): 167. The South Hovses are the oldest dormitories on campus. The orchestra gives three pairs of concerts annually, at both Caltech and Occidental College.

OTT protects and manages the intellectual property developed by faculty members, students, other researchers, and JPL technologists. Bruce Reznick (BS 1973) is a mathematician noted for his contributions to number theory and the combinatorial-algebraic-analytic investigations ofpolynomials. I was able to get into the residency of my choice and go on to Kaiser Permanente., Hunt agrees, saying that Caltech instilled in her a new way to approach and pursue knowledge. The North Houses were built in 1960 to accommodate the growing student population. The promotion of physics made him a public figure of science, although his Nobel-winning work in quantum electrodynamics was already very established in the scientific community. The only universal truths are that full membership is harder to attain than social and that full members may live in house-associated property while social members may not. Blacker has also been referred to as the house of fucking geniuses[original research?
