Taylor, Hugh University

Hugh S. Taylor, who was on leave from Princeton at Manchester University, and who had participated in Polanyi s Berlin colloquium in 1929, introduced the agenda for the Oxford symposium. He noted the importance of Polanyi s recent theoretical work with London, but Taylor offered no hint that Langmuir s approach might be abandoned. [29]... 

On December 31, 1948, Kellogg and Cities Service stopped pilot plant and engineering activities relating to their joint Synthol development. After about 1950, however, the two companies undertook catalyst development work with the assistance of Sir Hugh S. Taylor, John Turkevich, and Marcel Boudart of Princeton University. 

Kemball kept an active interest in physical adsorption for several years, but a defining change came in 1946 with the award of a fellowship from the Commonwealth Fund of New York for research and travel in the United States. Influenced by Eric Rideal s long-standing friendship with Hugh S. Taylor, who had known Rideal since World War I when they worked together in London on the catalysis of carbon monoxide oxidation, Charles chose to spend his fellowship year with Professor Taylor at Princeton University. Here he was introduced to experimental work on catalysis and.

The assistance of Mr. B. W. Steiner and Dr. P. M. Gundry in the mass-spectromet-ric analyses is gratefully acknowledged. The authors are also indebted to Dean Hugh Taylor for his valuable suggestions and assistance, and to Yokohama National University, Japan, for a leave of absence granted to one of us (K.T.).

The approach taken in this book is largely a continuation of the Boudart school of kinetics . The academic geneology of this school is quite interesting and worthy of mention. Michel Boudart s advising professor at Princeton University was Sir Hugh Taylor. Taylor, in turn, worked with Basset in Liverpool, Arrhenius in Stockholm, and Bodenstein in Hannover to obtain his Ph.D. Arrhenius worked with Ostwald, Kohlrausch, Boltzmann and van t Hoff after receiving his doctorate, while Bodenstein also conducted postdoctoral research with Ostwald [2]. Clearly, a solid foundation in thermodynamics, kinetics and catalysis was established by this research lineage. 

During his time in the United States, Frumkin not only gave lectures to the staff and students of the University of Wisconsin but also toured many other universities. In this way he met many important American scientists and actively discussed their work with them. For example, at the University of Chicago, he visited the Laboratory of William Draper Harkins (December 28, 1873-March 7,1951) and also met with Arthur Holly Compton (September 10, 1892-March 15, 1962). In Princeton, he discussed the polymerization of unsaturated compotmds with Hugh Stott Taylor (6 February 1890-17 April 1974) and at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, he discussed the field of electrocapillary phenomena with Karl Ferdinand Herzfeld (February 24, 1892-June 3, 1978). In Philadelphia, he was delighted to meet George Borisovich Kistyakovsky (1900-1982), a chemist with Ukrainian-Jewish roots. 

One of England s greatest gifts to the United States was Sir Hugh Stott Taylor (1890-1974, FRS). He joined Princeton University upon receiving his Ph.D. in 1914 and became Chair of the Chemistry Department from 1926-1951. He had studied with both Bodenstein and Arrhenius. He carried out many investigations of the kinetics of polymerization. 

An extensive discussion of the stress relaxation function in vulcanized mbber completes this chapter. The work was performed by another emerging leader in polymer science Arthur V. Tobolsky (1919-1972). He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1944 and worked with Henry Eyring and Hugh S. Taylor. Taylor was proud to present the Bingham Medal of the Society of Rheology to Tobolsky in 1956. Tobolsky also collaborated with Herman Mark on the Second Edition of his monograph [3], published in 1950. He was so successful at Princeton that he was appointed there immediately. He found himself at Brooklyn Poly as Professor of Chemistry in 1950, but returned to Princeton where he spent the rest of his life. One of the first students to graduate under the direction of Arthur Tobolsky was Richard S. Stein (1925-) in 1948.
