Willis Rodney Whitney, Pioneer of Industrial Research

Abstract

IN a foreword to this volume, Dr. Karl T. Compton writes: “Few scientists have so impressed their ideals upon their contemporaries and followers as has Willis R. Whitney. He has largely set the pattern and philosophy of the modern industrial research laboratories, one of the unique achievements of this century. He was the right man in the right place at the right time.”
