From vast, subterranean Michigan streams Dow Chemical Co. pumps brackish water, produces aspirin, phenol, ammonia, chlorine. From the vast Pacific, Great Western Electro-Chemical Co. dredges salt, manufactures liquid chlorine, caustic soda, caustic potash. In a corporate chemical reaction last month these two companies decided to combine. Last week their stockholders approved the process. Catalyst of the consolidation was Willard Henry Dow, elder son of the late, great Chemist Herbert Henry Dow. No chemical genius but an efficient business executive, Willard Dow graduated from University of Michigan in 1919, went to work for his father as a department head, succeeded...
...research in electro-magnetic phenomena, which resulted in the discovery of the Hall effect, he won the acknowledgment and deference of the whole scientific world. He held this respect throughout his long life-time by his unceasing laboratory work, continued almost up to the day of his death. And by his honest and conscientious devotion to his teaching, he won the affection of several generations of Harvard students. His interests in general educational methods impelled him to sit on many faculty committees. His responsibility for the introduction of the laboratory procedure into secondary schools earned for him the American Association...
Edwin Herbert Hall, Rumford Professor of Physics, Emeritus, died last night at Cambridge Hospital following an illness of three weeks. Professor Hall, who was 83 years old, and whose research and discoveries in electro-magnetic phenomena were known to scientists throughout the world as the Hall Effect, failed to rally after an operation...
...once-white stone is now black with age. First director was James Clerk Maxwell, a Scotsman who as a schoolboy wore lace frill collars, a tunic and square-toed shoes, was considered peculiar by his mates. They were quite right. When he was hardly past 30, Maxwell invented electro-magnetic waves (e.g., wireless waves) out of his head, then proved mathematically that their speed must equal that of light. British physical scientists rank Maxwell second only to Isaac Newton. His immortal set of four equations, deemed a thing of beauty by scientific esthetes, is Exhibit A for apprentice theorists...
...yards back from King's Parade where stand most of the Cambridge colleges. Free School Lane is still barred to all forms of transportation-except bicycles and shoe leather. In the early clays of Cavendish, equipment was meagre. When the august Royal Society condescended to send up an electro-dynamometer from London, the rejoicing among Cavendish students almost became undignified...
