Extractions: Arthur Holly Compton was born at Wooster, Ohio, on September 10th, 1892, the son of Elias Compton, Professor of Philosophy and Dean of the College of Wooster. He was educated at the College, graduating Bachelor of Science in 1913, and he spent three years in postgraduate study at Princeton University receiving his M.A.degree in 1914 and his Ph.D. in 1916. After spending a year as instructor of physics at the University of Minnesota , he took a position as a research engineer with the Westinghouse Lamp Company at Pittsburgh until 1919 when he studied at Cambridge University as a National Research Council Fellow. In 1920, he was appointed Wayman Crow Professor of Physics, and Head of the Department of Physics at the Washington University, St. Louis ; and in 1923 he moved to the University of Chicago as Professor of Physics. Compton returned to St. Louis as Chancellor in 1945 and from 1954 until his retirement in 1961 he was Distinguished Service Professor of Natural Philosophy at the Washington University. In his early days at Princeton, Compton devised an elegant method for demonstrating the Earth's rotation, but he was soon to begin his studies in the field of X-rays. He developed a theory of the intensity of X-ray reflection from crystals as a means of studying the arrangement of electrons and atoms, and in 1918 he started a study of X-ray scattering. This led, in 1922, to his discovery of the increase of wavelength of X-rays due to scattering of the incident radiation by free electrons, which implies that the scattered quanta have less energy than the quanta of the original beam. This effect, nowadays known as the

Extractions: Arthur Holly Compton, left, with his assistant Richard L. Doan, 1936 Hulton Deutsch Collection/Corbis (b. Sept. 10, 1892, Wooster, Ohio, U.S.d. March 15, 1962, Berkeley, Calif.), American physicist and joint winner, with C.T.R. Wilson of England, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1927 for his discovery and explanation of the change in the wavelength of X rays when they collide with electrons in metals. This so-called Compton effect is caused by the transfer of energy from the photon to the electron. Its discovery in 1922 confirmed the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation as both a wave and a particle. Compton, a younger brother of the physicist Karl T. Compton, received his doctorate from Princeton University in 1916 and became head of the department of physics at Washington University, St. Louis, in 1920. From 1923 to 1945 he was professor of physics at the University of Chicago. In 1941 Compton was chairman of the committee of the National Academy of Sciences that studied the military potential of atomic energy. In this capacity he was instrumental, with the physicist Ernest O. Lawrence, in initiating the Manhattan Project, which created the first atomic bomb. From 1942 to 1945 Compton was director of the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, which developed the first self-sustaining atomic chain reaction and paved the way for controlled release of nuclear energy. He became chancellor of Washington University in 1945 and was professor of natural history there from 1953 until 1961.

Extractions: Home Page Fourteen years after graduating from The College of Wooster, Arthur Holly Compton received the Nobel Prize in Physics. His success exemplified those characteristics of self-reliance, resourcefulness, and intellectual curiosity which Wooster values in its students and which are cultivated in its nationally recognized Independent Study program. Compton Scholarships range from $8,000 to $16,000 per year and are awarded annually to entering students who have demonstrated initiative and the capacity for sustained endeavor. The scholarships are renewable for three additional years for recipients making satisfactory progress toward a degree. Through the Compton Scholarships, the College seeks to recognize students who will combine academic excellence with an aptitude for independent work in its laboratories, libraries, studios, or computer center. As evidence, candidates may have demonstrated an ability through a debate program, a science project, work in art, music, theatre or creative writing, editing a publication, writing a computer program or in an activity undertaken outside of school. To be considered for a Compton Scholarship, students must be nominated by a secondary school teacher or counselor and demonstrate in the Compton essay evidence of a specific project or activity which reflects academic initiative, resourcefulness, and intellectual curiosity. While not required, candidates may schedule an interview with an admissions counselor to discuss special initiatives and strengths. The Compton Scholarship Committee will announce winners by April, 2001.

Extractions: Died: 1962 in Berkeley, California The American physicist Arthur Holly Compton was one of the pioneers of high energy physics. In 1927 he received the Nobel prize in physics for his definitive study of the scattering of high energy photons by electrons which became known as the Compton Effect. This work was recognized as an experimental proof that electromagnetic radiation possessed both wave-like and particle-like properties and laid a foundation for the new "quantum" physics. All the experiments onboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory rely on the detailed knowledge of the interaction of high energy gamma-rays with matter that Compton first described. Compton's work in the early 1920's on the scattering of high energy photons was carried out while he was head of the Department of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis. He later went to the University of Chicago where he eventually switched to the study of cosmic rays. During the Second World War he played a major role in the atomic bomb project as director of the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago. At the end of the war, he returned to Washington University as Chancellor and retired in 1953. In this picture, Compton is shown operating laboratory equipment at the University of Chicago in 1930 (courtesy of University of Chicago Archives).

After graduating from Wooster College, Compton attended Princeton University and studied the angular distribution of X-rays reflected from crystals. He received his Ph.D. in 1916. After working as a research engineer at Westinghouse Corporation for a few years, Compton won a National Research Council fellowship in 1919, and went to Cambridge, England to study the properties of scattered gamma rays. Compton served as head of the physics department at Washington University from 1920 until 1923. In 1923, Compton joined the faculty at the University of Chicago and resumed his work on X-rays, studying the changes that take place in the wavelength of X-rays when they collide with electrons in metals. This so-called "Compton Effect" provided proof that electromagnetic radiation possesses properties of both waves and particles. This work earned Compton the 1927 Nobel Prize for Physics, which he shared with C.T.R. Wilson. Compton then began researching cosmic rays. In 1941, Compton became chairman of the National Academy of Sciences' Committee to Study the Military Potential of Atomic Energy. The committee's work contributed to the development of the Manhattan Project. In 1942, Compton was asked to direct the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, where Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard developed the first self-sustaining atomic chain reaction. This reaction gave rise to the controlled release of nuclear energy.

In 1920 he became a professor and head of the physics department at Washington University. There he deduced that X-rays, known to be waves, also act like particles. He proved it with an experiment showing the scattering action now called the Compton Effect. For that fundamental discovery, Compton won the 1927 Nobel Prize. After directing the World War II research that led to the atomic bomb, he returned to Washington University in 1945 as chancellor. In 1991 NASA named its new orbiting gamma-ray observatory after Arthur Holly Compton.
