 Cosmology: Methodological Debates in the 1930s and 1940s
Part of the controversy may be laid to the fact that cosmology was a new science, and disputes about methodology in new sciences are not rare in the history of the sciences.
In early July 1932, just nine months after relativistic cosmology became the concensus during the British Association meeting, Oxford astrophysicist E. Milne published a short article in Nature which directly attacked the current philosophical tenets, proposing their replacement by a new cluster of views, one as radical as the new science it purported to undergird.
His analysis of science encouraged one to be imaginative, and encouraged one to go for something that was very rigid and therefore empirically disprovable.

 Local UI Student Wins Liberal Arts, Sciences Scholarship
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences awards up to 12 William and Effa McMeans Scholarships, each in the amount of $2,000, annually to selected entering first-year students who are National Merit Scholars and who are majoring in a liberal arts and sciences discipline.
McMeans was an alumna of The University of Iowa, earning her bachelor's degree in science education in 1932 and a master's degree in chemistry in 1948.
The scholarship was created with the hope the recipients would direct their work in the sciences toward the goal of "realizing that knowledge and the correct application of new truths (knowledge), if used for the benefit of all mankind, should hopefully benefit and promote peace and understanding among all of one's fellow human beings."

 Experts predict the 1999 Leonids
Three weeks from now we may be treated to a very visible reminder of space weather when the Leonid meteor shower strikes on November 18, 1999.
The comet had passed by Earth's orbit in 1965, so astronomers were aware that something might happen.
But, judging by the paucity of the 1899 and 1932 showers, it was widely thought that the orbit of the debris stream had been deflected so much by gravitational encounters with other planets (mainly Jupiter) that a close encounter with Earth's orbit was no longer possible.
