Kemble, Edwin C. (Edwin Crawford). 1889-
Edwin C. Kemble papers [microform], 1919-1937.
Correspondence, lectures, and manuscripts. The correspondence with his colleagues dates from 1923-1937. The lecture manuscripts are from courses Kemble taught on wave mechanics, theory of band spectra, and quantum theory. Also included are student lists, exams, and texts used. The manuscripts include drafts of The Bohr Theory and the Planck Radiation Formula, 1919-1920; notes for nine colloquium talks (1919-1925); membership lists, programs, and notes from the Cambridge (Massachusetts) Faculty Physics Seminar, 1923-1924; and notes on lectures by Hendrik A. Kramers on quantum mechanics at the University of Michigan Summer School, Ann Arbor, 1928. A major file of correspondence with Raymond Thayer Birge; other correspondents include H. B. Allen, J. H. Bartlett, D. F. Bourgin, Walter F. Colby, J. L. Dunham, Eugene Feenberg, Julian K. Knipp, Robert Bruce Lindsay, Francis W. Loomis, Dayton C. Miller, Robert S. Mulliken, Floyd K. Richtmyer, Arthur E. Ruark, William Francis Gray Swann, Harold C. Urey, John H. Van Vleck, Donald S. Villars, Robert W. Wood, and Clarence Zener; as well as the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Insitute of Physics, and the American Physical Society.Microfilmed as part of the Archives for History of Quantum Physics (AHQP) project.
