Not to be confused with E. Eleanor Field, Ellen Field together with her spouse, Edgar Stedman,37 formed the most equal chemistry partnership of those we have studied. Of course, in those days, equal work was not reflected in equal status. Field was born on 29 October 1883 at Greenwich, Kent, the daughter of William Frederick Field, a labourer, and Ellen Bobey.37 She studied towards a chemistry degree at Goldsmiths College. 

One reason it is easy to cross disciplines at Cornell is the existence of the Physical Sciences Library, with its broad coverage of chemistry and physics. I would like to thank Ellen Thomas and her staff for her contributions in that regard. Our drawings, a critical part of the way our research is presented, have been beautifully prepared over the years by Jane Jorgensen and Elisabeth Fields. I d like to thank Eleanor Stagg, Linda Kapitany, and Lorraine Seager for their typing and secretarial assistance. 

Fortunately Frankfurter had heard about the project he called X. He says he heard from some distinguished American scientists, but he certainly heard from a distraught yoimg Met Lab scientist who had penetrated all the way to Frankfurter and Eleanor Roosevelt in 1943 with complaints about Du Pont I had thus become aware of X—aware, that is, that there was such a thing as X and of its significance. Since Frankfurter knew Bohr s field he assumed X was the reason for Bohr s visit ...
