Summary: In 1938, Austrian-born physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) fled Germany. And eventually became a Swedish citizen. After World War II, Meitner received many awards, including being named "Woman of the——Year" at the "National Press Club in 1946." She was a Visiting Professor of Physics at Catholic University during Spring 1946. In a press release associated with her arrival, Dr. Meitner emphasized that her goal was "wholly educational": "I have no intention——to suggest how atomic energy should be, controlled, beyond expressing my sincere hope that no occasion will again arise where it will be utilized in war. A lasting peace is more desirable than the creation of weapons which might lead——to the extermination of mankind."
