Cyril Smith humanities course on materials history

Tom's junior-year humanities paper on the hardening of steel, taught by Cyril Smith (former University of Chicago metallurgist who became MIT institute professor in humanities, archaeology of materials).

One of the great things about steel — I wrote my humanities paper as a junior on the hardening of steel, taught by one of the world's great metallurgists, who came here from the University of Chicago when he retired at 65 and became an institute professor in humanities, because he had also studied the archaeology of materials — Cyril Smith. So I took one of my humanities courses to learn about the history of materials under Cyril Smith.
