• ... that Henry DeWolf Smyth wrote his official public report (pictured) on the Manhattan Project in the building that later became Princeton University's Frist Campus Center?
  • Could not verify from the PhD, but it is true, so should be okay. Hawkeye7 (talk) 06:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

If you have access to ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (most university libraries do, at least in the States) you can get the dissertation by clicking the link at the bottom of this page and then clicking "Full Text - PDF" on the right. Look on p. 65. Lagrange613 15:53, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, my university does not; all I can get is the first 24 pages. Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:52, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

However, although I could not directly verify against the thesis, I checked the other reference used in the hook, and, as far as I am concerned, the article is Good To Go. Cheers. Hawkeye7 (talk) 23:03, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
