MIT.  He has also applied to several other colleges in regular action,
and will hear from them in March. Here are two piano pieces played by Daniel:

A.A. Griffith (1893-1963)

A.A. Griffith graduated from the University of Liverpool, England in 1921 with the degrees of B. Eng.,
M. Eng., and D. Eng.  He entered the Royal Aircraft factory in 1915 and advanced through a
workshop traineeship followed by other positions to become senior scientific officer in 1920.  In 1917,
together with G.I. Taylor, he published a pioneering paper on the use of soap films in solving torsion
problems, and in 1920 he published his famous paper on the theory of brittle fracture.  He then worked
on the design theory of gas turbines.  Griffith was Head of the Engine Department of the Royal Aircraft
Establishment in 1938 and joined Rolls Royce as research engineer in 1939.  He worked first on conceptual
design of turbojet engines and later on vertical takeoff aircraft design.  He retired in 1960 but continued working
as a consultant for Rolls Royce.
