"Frederick Bedell" (Abstract. Frederick Bedell, emeritus professor of physics at Cornell University and one of the founding members of the American Physical Society, died on May 3 at his home in Pasadena, Calif. He was 90 years of age. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Prof. Bedell graduated from Yale University and received both his MS and PhD (in physics) from Cornell. He was appointed to the Cornell faculty as an instructor in 1892 and by 1904 had risen to the rank of full professor. He remained a member of the Cornell faculty until his retirement in 1937. Shortly thereafter he moved to Pasadena and continued to be active as a consulting physicist.) <https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.3062668> Guide to the Frederick Bedell Papers,1891-1984, Collection Number: 14-22-2190, Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library (Website) [via Google search], viewed December 16, 2018: (Creator. Frederick Bedell,1868-1958 ... Biographical Note. Professor of physics. Frederick Bedell received an A.B. degree from Yale University in 1890 and a Ph.D degreefrom Cornell in 1892. He was appointed Assistant Professor of Physics at Cornell in1893, and, in 1904, Professor of Applied Electricity. His most important contributions in electrical engineering were his experimental investigations and theoretical studies delaing with alternating currents. In 1917, he was appointed as an advisor in the establishment at Cornell of one of the United States Army Schools of Military Aeronautics which led to his work in the investigation of airplane performance and design. He also worked on the development of devices to aid the deaf by utilizing the phenomenon of sound conduction through the bones. For twenty-nine years he served as editor of the Physical Review. After his retirement, he did research at California Institute of Technology. Frederick Bedell died in 1958.) <http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/EAD/htmldocs/RMA02190.html> |
