232 x 152 mm. 8vo. Pages 481-486. [Entire volume: viii, 917 pp.] Navy cloth, gilt spine. Blind-stamps of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Mount Wilson Observatory. FINE. FIRST EDITION. In this joint paper by the veteran investigator (Orntsein) and the junior faculty member (Kramers) on atomic theory, the authors investigated how the classical collision formula in the kinetic-theory of gases has to be modified in order that the molecules shall be distributed according to the Fermi-law. In 1914, Leonard Ornstein succeeded Peter Debye as the chair of theoretical physics at the University of Utrecht. Later, Ornstein became director of the physical institute there in 1925. As director of the Institute, Ornstein's work shifted decisively into experiments, and his organizational talent began to unfold. In the preceding dozen years Ornstein had published about fifty papers; in the following twenty years over two hundred bore his own name, and almost five hundred additional papers were published from his institute, which underwent three substantial enlargements in this period. See: DSB, X, pp. 235-236. L. S. At the time that Ornstein became director of the institute, Kramers was appointed to the faculty of the University of Utrecht and had an office at the Institute. Kramers delivered an Obituary on Ornstein in 1941. Dresden, H. A. Kramers, pp. 310-313, 485. Kramers, Collected scientific papers, pp. 375-380; L. S.

Richard Chace Tolman (1881 -1948) Was An American Mathematical Physicist And Physical Chemist Who Made Many Contributions To Statistical Mechanics. He Also Made Important Contributions To Theoretical Cosmology In The Years Soon After Einstein's Discovery Of General Relativity. He Was A Professor Of Physical Chemistry And Mathematical Physics At The California Institute Of Technology (Caltech). Tolman Studied Chemical Engineering At The Massachusetts Institute Of Technology, Receiving His Bachelor's Degree In 1903 And Ph.D. In 1910 Under A. A. Noyes. In 1912, He Conceived Of The Concept Of Relativistic Mass, Writing That "The Expression Is Best Suited For The Mass Of A Moving Body. In A 1916 Experiment With Thomas Dale Stewart, Tolman Demonstrated That Electricity Consists Of Electrons Flowing Through A Metallic Conductor. A By-Product Of This Experiment Was A Measured Value Of The Mass Of The Electron.[4] Overall, However, He Was Primarily Known As A Theorist.Tolman Was A Member Of The Technical Alliance In 1919, A Forerunner Of The Technocracy Movement Where He Helped Conduct An Energy Survey Analyzing The Possibility Of Applying Science To Social And Industrial Affairs.Tolman Was Elected A Fellow Of The American Academy Of Arts And Sciences In 1922. The Same Year, He Joined The Faculty Of The California Institute Of Technology, Where He Became Professor Of Physical Chemistry And Mathematical Physics And Later Dean Of The Graduate School. One Of Tolman's Early Students At Caltech Was The Theoretical Chemist Linus Pauling, To Whom Tolman Taught The Old Quantum Theory.In 1927, Tolman Published A Text On Statistical Mechanics Whose Background Was The Old Quantum Theory Of Max Planck, Niels Bohr And Arnold Sommerfeld.[9] In 1938, He Published A New Detailed Work That Covered The Application Of Statistical Mechanics To Classical And Quantum Systems. It Was The Standard Work On The Subject For Many Years And Remains Of Interest Today.In The Later Years Of His Career, Tolman Became Increasingly Interested In The Application Of Thermodynamics To Relativistic Systems And Cosmology. An Important Monograph He Published In 1934 Titled Relativity, Thermodynamics, And Cosmology[12] Demonstrated How Black Body Radiation In An Expanding Universe Cools But Remains Thermal - A Key Pointer Toward The Properties Of The Cosmic Microwave Background.[13] Also In This Monograph, Tolman Was The First Person To Document And Explain How A Closed Universe Could Equal Zero Energy. He Explained How All Mass Energy Is Positive And All Gravitational Energy Is Negative And They Cancel Each Other Out, Leading To A Universe Of Zero Energy.[13] His Investigation Of The Oscillatory Universe Hypothesis, Which Alexander Friedmann Had Proposed In 1922, Drew Attention To Difficulties As Regards Entropy And Resulted In Its Demise Until The Late 1960S. During World War Ii, Tolman Served As Scientific Advisor To General Leslie Groves On The Manhattan Project. At The Time Of His Death In Pasadena, He Was Chief Advisor To Bernard Baruch, The U.S. Representative To The United Nations Atomic Energy Commission.Each Year, The Southern California Section Of The American Chemical Society Honors Tolman By Awarding Its Tolman Medal "In Recognition Of Outstanding Contributions To Chemistry. Tolman's Brother Was The Behavioral Psychologist Edward Chace Tolman.
