William, Frederick

William Frederick Meggers. Physicist at the U. S. Bureau of Standards since 1914. Chief of die spectroscopy section. Author of many papers on optics, astrophysics, photography, measurement of wave-length standards, and description and analysis of spectra. The instrument in the foreground is a concave grating spectrograph, used for photographing the emission spectrum of rhenium (41). 

Not to be confused with E. Eleanor Field, Ellen Field together with her spouse, Edgar Stedman,37 formed the most equal chemistry partnership of those we have studied. Of course, in those days, equal work was not reflected in equal status. Field was born on 29 October 1883 at Greenwich, Kent, the daughter of William Frederick Field, a labourer, and Ellen Bobey.37 She studied towards a chemistry degree at Goldsmiths College.

William Frederick Durand entered the US Naval Academy, Annapolis MD, in 1876, graduating there in 1880. He joined the Naval Engineering Corps working on problems of marine engineering. He was sent by the Navy to work on a PhD, and in 1888 graduated from Lafayette College, Easton PA.

Ernest Rutherford, Frederick Soddy, and then Sir William Ramsay documented natural transformations of one element into another in 1902 and 1903. The artificial transmutation of one element into another, however, was first accomplished in 1919 by Rutherford, a physicist. Indeed, the field of nuclear physics has contributed the most to our understanding of the subatomic world since the 1920s. But the scientists who most advocated transmutation as a goal of research and a heuristic principle for understanding the nature of matter—the Nobel Prize winners Ramsay and Soddy, and, in a less prominent way, Sir William Crookes—were chemists, not physicists.1...

I also wish to thank the Bodleian Library at Oxford University for permission to do research in the Frederick Soddy Papers in their Modem Manuscripts collections, and the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford University, for permission to work with Soddy s lecture notes and papers in their archives. I thank University College London, Special Collections, for permission to do research in the Sir William Ramsay Papers. I also thank the special collections librarians at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, for access to H. G. Wells s papers, and the University of Texas at Austin Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center for access to Edith Sitwell s papers. Frances Soar of the Geographical Association, the administrators of the Frederick Soddy Tmst, and Maxwell Wright and Gwen Huntley of Bunkers Solicitors generously helped me in my efforts to track down an estate for Frederick Soddy s unpublished writings. And I wish to thank Mark Smithells and the Smithells family in New Zealand for permission to quote from Arthur Smithells s unpublished manuscript in the Frederick Soddy Papers. 

Work continued on the radiation hypothesis during the war, for example, in Perrin s laboratory by his student Nilratan R. Dhar and in the Muspratt laboratory at Liverpool, where William McCullagh Lewis succeeded Frederick George Donnan as director.78 Following the war, Perrin found it easy to interest...
