Kemble, Edwin

Quotation from Sommerfeld, Atomic Structures, 79. On p. vi, Sommerfeld notes that in the chapter on the natural system of the elements, "the former discussions of molecular models and atomic volumes have been thoroughly pared down." At Harvard in 1925, Edwin Kemble s course in quantum mechanics included the second edition of Sommerfeld s Aufbau, according to Schweber (1990 348). Similarly, Joseph Hirschfelder was reading it as an undergraduate at Yale according to Hirschfelder, "My Adventures in Theoretical Chemistry," Ann.Rev.P.Chem. 33 (1983) 129, on 4.
