John Stuart Foster, McGill University, and the Renascence of Nuclear Physics in Montreal, 1935-1950
|
| Abstract |
According to the author, John Stuart Foster (1890-1964) secured a place for McGill University in the world of twentieth-century physics. Although the Nobel prize-winning Ernest Rutherford worked at McGill from 1898 to 1907, it was the Nova Scotian-born Foster who had the greatest impact on physics at the university. Foster did more research and directed more graduate studies at McGill than any other physics professor. The Yale-educated Foster introduced the American influence in physics to a faculty formerly dominated by Cambridge physicists. He also helped establish the largest cyclotron in Canada in 1944.
