Yale Department of Physics Newsletter Yale Department of Physics Newsletter Spring 2003 Greetings from the Chair — It is my pleasure to continue the tradition of the Physics Departmental Newsletter established by my predecessor, Professor Charles Baltay, in the summer of 2001, which also marked the beginning of my term. We are pleased to welcome several new faculty to the department. Professor Steven Girvin, a noted condensed matter theorist, joined us in July 2001. Steve was well known to all of us for his breadth and depth of interest in various areas of condensed matter physics, and when we became aware that he was considering relocation from Indiana University, we moved aggressively to bring him here, fighting off competition from some worthy opponents. Steve has already propelled our already strong condensed matter group to new heights. He also works closely with Applied Physics on problems related to quantum information, especially with Michel Devoret, another recent and marvelous addition to the Yale faculty in January 2002. In fact the only thing Steve does not know is the word “no,” and an obvious conflict of interest prevents me from rectifying the situation. Another prized addition to the department will be Professor Pierre Hohenberg, Channel surfing who will switch from Deputy Provost to Adjunct Professor at the end of this academic year. Pierre, who is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, has during physics class? made seminal contributions to condensed matter physics that have been recognized by a string of honors too long to mention here. So I will limit myself to the latest See page 5… two: the Planck Medal and the Onsager Prize. Both Pierre and the department look forward to his return to the fold. Next, in the area of atomic, molecular and optical physics, we have tenured and successfully retained David DeMille. We are very excited by Dave’s ambitious Inside this Issue — experimental program that ranges from searching for the electron’s electric dipole moment to quantum computation using molecules.

  • Henry Andrews Bumstead 1870-1920
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XIII SECOND MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF HENRY ANDREWS BUMSTEAD 1870-1920 BY LEIGH PAGE PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1929 HENRY ANDREWS BUMSTEAD BY LIUGH PAGE Henry Andrews Bumstead was born in the small town of Pekin, Illinois, on March 12th, 1870, son of Samuel Josiah Bumstead and Sarah Ellen Seiwell. His father, who was a physician of considerable local prominence, had graduated from the medical school in Philadelphia and was one of the first American students of medicine to go to Vienna to complete his studies. While the family was in Vienna, Bumstead, then a child three years of age, learned to speak German as fluently as he spoke English, an accomplishment which was to prove valuable to him in his subsequent career. Bumstead was descended from an old New England family which traces its origin to Thomas Bumstead, a native of Eng- land, who settled in Boston, Massachusetts, about 1640. Many of his ancestors were engaged in the professions, his paternal grandfather, the Reverend Samuel Andrews Bumstead, being a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and a minister in active service. From them he inherited a keen mind and an unusually retentive memory. It is related that long before he had learned to read, his Sunday school teacher surprised his mother by complimenting her on the ease with which her son had rendered the Sunday lesson. It turned out that his mother made a habit of reading the lesson to Bumstead before he left for school, and the child's remarkable performance there was due to his ability to hold in his memory every word of the lesson after hearing it read to him a single time.

Key Decisions The ExCom voted to move $100k of operating funds to an endowment for a new award. The ExCom voted that a new name (not Otto Laporte) should be chosen for this award. In the coming year, the Award committee (currently the Fluid Dynamics Prize committee) should establish the award criteria, making sure to distinguish the criteria from those associated with the Batchelor prize. The committee should suggest appropriate wording for the award application and make a recommendation on the naming of the award. The ExCom voted to move Newsletter publication to the first weeks of June and December each year. The ExCom voted to continue the Ad Hoc Committee on Media and Public Relations for two more years (through 2010). The ExCom voted that $15,000 per year in 2009 and 2010 be allocated for Media and Public Relations activities. Most of these funds would be applied toward continuing to use AIP media services in support of news releases and Virtual Pressroom activities related to the annual DFD meeting. Meeting Discussion 1.

During her September 27-28 visit to Fermilab for an onsite DOE review of the laboratory, Dresselhaus, director of the Department of EnergyÕs Office of Science, spoke with respect and affection of the professor she knew during her years as a University of Chicago graduate student, She referred often to FermiÕs legendary concern for graduate students and young physicists. Comes to ItÕs a concern she clearly shares. ÒYoung people are excited about high-energy physics,Ó Dresselhaus said, Òbut there are serious career problems for youth. This is not just a Fermilab problem, but a problem for high-energy physics generally. It can be hard to Fermilab envision a career when there is such a long lead time for experiments. The community will have to address this.Ó As a step in that direction, she began her laboratory visit with a Òfocus groupÓ of Fermilab graduate students and young physicists, to hear what was on their minds and to assure them of her support. The students responded enthusiastically.
