A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

On December 22, 1909, Sir J. J. Thomson completed the twenty-fifth year of his tenure of the Cavendish Professorship of Experimental Physics in the University of Cambridge. At the beginning of that year the suggestion was made by some of the Professor simmediate colleagues that the occasion should be celebrated in some way which would commemorate a tenure so long and so full of achievement. There are many precedents, especially on the Continent, for such a celebration. In most cases it has taken the form of the publication of a volume of memoirs by various distinguished friends and admirers of the Professor, dealing with the subjects of their own special study. It seemed possible in the present case to publish a volume of a different character, and possibly of more lasting interest. Sir J. J. Thomson is the third holder of the Cavendish Professorship ;perhaps there is no post in the world which has been held successively by three men of such supreme and such varied genius. Their work is closely associated with the Cavendish Laboratory, and has made it known throughout the world. It appeared, therefore, that Sir J. J. Thomson stwentyfive years tenure of the Professorship might be fitly celebrated by the writing and publication of a History of the Cavendish Laboratory.
