  Passage 10

  In Switzerland, six miles west of Geneva, lies a collection of  laboratories and buildings, and most curious of all, a circular mound of  earth more than 650 feet in diameter. This cluster has unique  importance. It is Europe’s one and only atomic city dedicated to  investigating the atom for peaceful purposes. The strange buildings  belong to the European Council for Nuclear Research, more popularly  known, from its French initials, as CERN. The council was born when a  handful of statesman and scientific experts met in Paris in 1950. Their  aim was to "establish an organization providing for collaboration among  European states in nuclear research of a pure scientific and fundamental  character". The CERN agreement was signed in 1953, and work on the  atomic city began in 1954. Today CERN’s facilities are among the most  modern and the most diversified ones in the world. Impressive as the  scientific aspect may be, the real significance of CERN may lie with the  thousand people --- the scientists, lab workers, and administrative  crew drawn from the fourteen member nations --- who populate it. British  engineers work side by side with Swiss electricians, Yugoslav nuclear  physicists, and Dutch mathematicians. The official languages are French  and English, with German an unofficial third. But CERN is no tower of  Babel --- the language of science is universal and all embracing.
