Thomas Corwin Mendenhall, Ph. D., LL. D., President. R. MENDENHALL was born in Hanoverton, Ohio, in 1841. Unlike the rest of the Faculty, he is not a college graduate, but is, in fact, a self-educated man. From his youth he always evinced a strong inclina¬ tion to study scientific phenomena. To-day he is recognized as a leading authority in the field of physics. At an early age Dr. Mendenhall began his work as a teacher, and in 1873, on the opening of the Ohio State University, he was elected to the chair of physics and mechanics. In 1878 he went to Japan as Professor of Physics in the Imperial University, where one of his distinguished colleagues was Prof. J. A. Ewing. In 1881 he returned to the Ohio State University, where he received the degree of Ph. D. Three years later he was appointed by the government Professor of Electricity in the signal service. Resigning this position in 1886, he became the President of Rose Polytechnic Institute, and served in this capacity for three years, returning once more to the service of the government as superintendent of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. This position he resigned in 1894 to accept the Presidency of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In addition to his researches in the field of physics, Dr. Menden¬ hall has been active in the investigation of other scientific matters more or less closely related to physics. While with the United States Signal Service, he made a systematic study of atmospheric electricity. In fact he is regarded as an authority on weather observations. He was the first one to devise and put in operation 10
