- Arthur_Williams_Wright abstract "Arthur Williams Wright (September 8, 1836 – December 19, 1915) was an American physicist, born in Lebanon, Connecticut. He graduated from Yale in 1859. In 1861, he received a PhD, also from Yale, one of the first three awarded by an American university. (The remaining two were awarded to James Morris Whitson and Eugene Schuyler by Yale on the same occasion.) After, he became a tutor at Yale, first of Latin from 1863–66 and then natural philosophy from 1866-67. He also studied the law and was admitted to the bar in 1868, although he never practiced law. From 1868-69, he studied in Germany at the University of Heidelberg and in Berlin. After serving as professor of physics and chemistry at Williams College from 1869–72, he returned to Yale, first as professor of molecular physics and chemistry until 1887. In 1883, Yale was able to open the first laboratory in the country dedicated to physics research (the Sloane Physics Laboratory) because of Wright's influence and friendship with Henry T Sloane and Thomas C Sloane, siblings and Yale alumni. In 1911, a new Sloane Laboratory was opened, also endowed by the Sloanes. They also endowed a fellowship for graduate students at the laboratory. From 1887 until his retirement in 1906, he was professor of experimental physics.On January 27, 1896, Wright produced an X-ray photograph, barely a month after Wilhelm Röntgen's seminal paper On A New Kind Of Rays was published on December 28, 1895. This was the first X-ray image produced in the country. He contributed numerous scientific papers, chiefly on astronomical and electrical subjects, to various publications. He was a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society of Great Britain and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science as well as a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Physical Society.On October 7, 1875 he married Susan Forbes Silliman, the oldest daughter of Benjamin Silliman, Jr., a professor of chemistry at Yale. They had three children, Susan, Dorothy and Arthur. His wife died on February 17, 1890. He retired in 1906 and died at his home in New Haven on December 19, 1915.".
