Article discusses the history of Union Mission from 1826 to 1837 through a summary of the Journal of the Union Mission kept in the library of the Oklahoma Historical Society. Hope Holway discusses the difficulties the missionaries faced in their work, the cost of living there, and the people groups they intended to minister to.

Highly convenient rules are given for the general term in the time-independent perturbation-theory expansion for the self-energy operator of quantum statistical mechanics. The rules are derived by starting from the usual formalism involving time-dependent Green's functions. The well-known formulas for thermodynamic quantities in terms of the self-energy operator are included for completeness.

A noncanonical transformation of the boson creation and annihilation operators is performed in order to obtain a Hamiltonian which can be treated by the standard methods of field-theoretic perturbation theory. The standard results of Belyaev (with a slight modification) are rederived by this technique. (auth)

An exploratory survey was made of the intermediate phases formed when Tc/ sup 99/ is alloyed with the Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, and Fe-group elements. A total of nineteen intermediate phases were identified and found to be isomorphous with the Cr/sub 3/O-type, CsCl-type, MgZn/sub 2/-type, gamma -phase, or sigma -phase structure. The alloying characteristics of Tc are rationalized in terms of periodic table relationships. (auth)

The heat capacities of erbium and yttrium ethylsulfates were measured in the range 12-300 deg K. The magnetic contribution of the erbium ion was evaluated with the help of an assumption concernlng the difference in lattice contributions between the erbium and yttrium salts. The contribution agrees, to within experimental error, with the experimental energy level scheme for the /sup 4/I/ sub 15/2/ state previously published. (auth)

Article includes letters from General McCulloch to Chief John Ross and Ross' return letter written in 1861. Harry J. Lemley provides biographical sketches of both men and historical context to the correspondence, which was written in an era when the Confederate army was seeking to gain alliance with the Cherokee Nation, whose leaders wanted to remain neutral.

This section includes the minutes of the quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma Historical Society that was held on July 26, 1962.

Article continues an archival study on the opening of the Cherokee Outlet in this second part of Berlin B. Chapman's article. Chapman includes documentation from the time to summarize the process of setting up booths run by clerks from the General Land Office, the business at this office, and political and environmental conditions before the opening.

Article discusses the history of the seals of the five large tribes of Indian Territory: the Cherokee Nation, the Chickasaw Nation, the Choctaw Nation, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and the Seminole Nation. Muriel H. Wright provides context and explains the images represented in each seal individually.

Magnetic moment measurements are made on holmium single crystals (hcp) from 1.3 to 300 deg K in magnetic fields from 250 to 18,000 Oe, with the field applied along the c axis, the a axis, and a (1010) direction. The STA1010! direction is the direction of easy magnetization with an extrapolated effective moment per atom at saturation of 10.34 Bohr magnetons. Basal plane measurements show antiferromagnetism below the Neel temperature of 132 deg K with basal plane anisotropy occurring below 80 deg K. Below the Neel point, an anomalous type of transition to ferromagnetic behavior upon application of sufficient field is observed. Magnetization curves for the c axis are linear down to 60 deg K, while measurements below 20 deg K show an initial magnetization of approximately 1.7 Bohr magnetons followed by nearly linear magnetization curves. Electrical resistivity measurements are made from 4.2 to 300 deg K. For the a axis, the resistivity changes slope slightly at 20 deg K. A larger change in slope occurs at the Neel temperature of 132 deg K. For the c axis, the resistivity changes slope slightly at 20 deg K, reaches a peak at 120 deg K, goes through a minimum at 132 …
