   Extractions: Robert Andrews Millikan was born on the 22nd of March, 1868, in Morrison, Ill. (U.S.A.), as the second son of the Reverend Silas Franklin Millikan and Mary Jane Andrews. His grandparents were of the Old New England stock which had come to America before 1750, and were pioneer settlers in the Middle West. He led a rural existence in childhood, attending the Maquoketa High School (Iowa) . After working for a short time as a court reporter, he entered Oberlin College (Ohio) in 1886. During his undergraduate course his favourite subjects were Greek and mathematics; but after his graduation in 1891 he took, for two years, a teaching post in elementary physics. It was during this period that he developed his interest in the subject in which he was later to excel. In 1893, after obtaining his mastership in physics, he was appointed Fellow in Physics at Columbia University . He afterwards received his Ph.D. (1895) for research on the polarization of light emitted by incandescent surfaces - using for this purpose molten gold and silver at the U.S. Mint.

   Extractions: Millikan By courtesy of Caltech, Pasadena, Calif. (b. March 22, 1868, Morrison, Ill., U.S.d. Dec. 19, 1953, San Marino, Calif.), American physicist honoured with the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1923 for his study of the elementary electronic charge and the photoelectric effect. Millikan graduated from Oberlin College (Oberlin, Ohio) in 1891 and obtained his doctorate at Columbia University in 1895. In 1896 he became an assistant at the University of Chicago, where he became a full professor in 1910. In 1909 Millikan began a series of experiments to determine the electric charge carried by a single electron. He began by measuring the course of charged water droplets in an electrical field. The results suggested that the charge on the droplets is a multiple of the elementary electric charge, but the experiment was not accurate enough to be convincing. He obtained more precise results in 1910 with his famous oil-drop experiment , in which he replaced water (which tended to evaporate too quickly) with oil. In 1916 he took up with similar skill the experimental verification of the equation introduced by Albert Einstein in 1905 to describe the photoelectric effect. He used this same research to obtain an exact value of Planck's constant.

   Extractions: Robert Andrews Millikan earned the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1923 for his pioneering measurements of the charge on the electron. He was one of the most famous scientists in America before World War II. Yet in recent decades, his reputation has suffered from allegations that he "cooked" the data in his famous experiment, which used the motion of oil drops within an electric field to estimate the fundamental unit of charge. Millikan's critics have also accused him of mistreating students, women and Jews. The author argues that although Millikan's character was not without flaw, the accusations leveled against him are unreasonably harsh. David Goodstein , vice provost, professor of physics and applied physics and Frank J. Gilloon Distinguished Teaching and Service Professor at the California Institute of Technology, claims to have the longest title in the academic world. This article is based on the address he delivered on being presented with Sigma Xi’s John P. McGovern Science and Society Award at the 2000 Sigma Xi Forum

    Extractions: Thomas Hunt Morgan won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1933 for his chromosome theory of heredity. On the basis of experimental research with the fruit fly (Drosophila), he demonstrated that genes are linked in a series on chromosomes and that they determine identifiable, hereditary traits. An embryologist by training, Morgan turned his attention to Drosophila in 1908. On the basis of fly-breeding experiments, he developed a hypothesis of sex-linked characteristics, which he theorized were part of the X chromosome of females. In 1928, he came to Caltech to organize work in biology. The most influential biologist in America at that time, Morgan pioneered the new science of genetics, the essential science for the future of biology. In 1930, he also established a marine biology laboratory at Corona del Mar (the lab is still in use today). By then, Morgan had left Drosophila genetics and had returned to his earlier interest in developmental biology. He often spent weekends at the marine station working with an organism called the sea squirt. He remained on the Caltech faculty for the rest of his career. Anderson arrived at Caltech in 1923 as an 18-year-old freshman, and never left. He discovered the positron in 1932, using a cloud chamber. Shortly thereafter, Anderson and his graduate student, Seth Neddermeyer, discovered mu-mesons, or muons. During World War II, Caltech scientists produced and tested land and aircraft rockets for the United States Navy. Anderson supervised the testing of aircraft rockets at China Lake and later visited the front lines in Europe to observe how the rockets performed. He served as chair of the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy from 1962 to 1970, and was named emeritus in 1976.

His father, Reverend Silas Franklin Millikan, was a congressional minister in a small town and his mother, Mary Jane (Andrews) Millikan, a former dean of women at Olviet College. Robert's grandparents were of Scotish-irish ancestry which had come to America before 1750, and were pioneer settlers in the Middle West. His family moved, when he was five, to Iowa. He led a rural existence in childhood, attending the Maquoketa High School (Iowa). He helped around the farm and at 14 he was working ten-hour days during the summers at a local barrelhead factory, earning only a dolar a day.

He later worked on cosmic rays His oil-drop experiment to measure the electronic charge (since repeated by generations of physics students) measured the force on tiny charged droplets of oil suspended against gravity between two metal electrodes. Knowing the electric field the charge on the droplet could be determined. Repeating the experiment for many droplets, this was found always to be one or a few units of a common value. This was taken to be the charge on a single electron. There is now controversy over Millikan's experimental methods and reporting of his results.
