Louis Alan Hazeltine ROFESSOR HAZELTINE comes from New England and Canadian stock, for his father, Louis Rawson Hazeltine, descended from early seventeenth century New England settlers, and his mother. Henrietta Maud CAhernj Hazeltine, was of Canadian birth and ancestry. He was born in Morristown. New Jersey, August 7, 1886. I-Ie married Miss Philipine Hermine Miller, of Hoboken. June 16. 1910. His preparatory school days were spent in New London, Connecticut. at the Bulkcley School. During his student days he showed strong predilection for chemistry, and fitted up a chemical laboratory at home. During his last two years at school he discovered the ninth edition of the Encylopaedia Britannica, and from this source learned the fundamentals of higher mathematics. The monographs on Curves and Geometry proved to be meat and drink to him instead of the proverbial Greek. He took the course in three years and was valedictorian of his class. In September, 190Q, he entered Stevens with the Class of 1900, and therefore, was in the first class to niatriculate after Dr. Humphreys succeeded Dr. Morton as President of Stevens. As a student he was a member of Tau Beta Pi in which he still maintains an active interest. He was secretary of the Stevens Engineering Society, a member of the class Track Team, and also President of the Tennis Club. Ifnder his leadership the Tennis Club took on a new lease of life, and the club's largest tournament up to that time. was organized and carried through. To this day he plays as hard as he works, for he is in the game to win, as all con- testants with him on the tennis courts well know. Mr. Hazeltine's graduation thesis, written with Mr. George Crisson, was entitled, An Investigation of the Electromotive Force and Current 1Yaves of a Cooper Hewitt Mercury Vapor Rectifier . An important part of this thesis formed the basis for a paper, Analysis of Alternating Current 1Vaves . which was published in Sfcrmzs lnslifnlc Imliculor. October, 1900. Other published papers are, Losses and Capacity of Multiple Coils, given before the Radio Club of America, and published in QST . 1917, and Oscillating Audion Circuits , pub- lished in the Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers, April, 1918. Another paper, Conversion of Direct Current into Alternating Current by Thermionic Oscillationsn, read before the American Physical Society at Chicago in November, 1919. will appear in 1920. In 1906-'07, Mr. Hazeltine was in the Testing Department of the General Electric Company at Schenectady. In the fall of 1907 he came to Stevens and was in the Department of Electrical Engineering as assistant for one year, from 1908 until 1913 he was Instructor in the department: from 1913 to 1917 he was Assistant Professor, and in 1917. upon the death of Professor Ganz, he became Acting Professor. He was made full Professor in 1918. iy'N
