They Took What Was Possible -- And Pushed It

Authors

Kelley Bruss

Abstract

A vision, a 'what if,' a breakthrough -- sometimes life depends on it. Other times, it's life as we know it but with culture-defining flavor. Meet four of Furman's greatest -- Herman Lay '30, H '67, Fran Smith Ligler '72, H '18, Thomas Goldsmith Jr. '31, H '59, and Charles Townes '35, H '60.
