Notes

!DRS d.s.p. Francis began his education in the public schools in Plymouth, earned his undergraduate degree at MIT where his father had been, and his S M in Physics there in 1924. He stayed there as teacher, researcher and writer for the next 30 years. In 1932 he collaborated with Peter Debye in the discovery of what is now called the Debye- Sears effect, the diffraction of light by ultrasonic waves. For a brief period in 1945 he served as Chairman of the Physics Branch of the American Army Univ at SHrivenham, England. Francis also served as a consultant to the United Aircraft Corp Research Department for a few years, but his research interests primarily lay in developing new methods of and new apparatus for undergraduate teaching. IN 1955 he accepted Dartmouth College's invitation to become Visiting Professor, and three years later, Professor in the Dept of Physics. Here he remained until retirement in 1964. Even in retirement he continued updating textbooks and co-authoring new ones, and publishing numerous articles and notes for teachers of physics.(He wrote the well known text "University Physics" used by every freshman engineering student in the US, ed.) He constructed his own electric organ. He was a member of many physics societies, and served as an officer in some. In recognition of his "notable contributions to the teaching of physics," the American Assoc. of Physics Teachers in 1962 presented him with the Oersted Medal, its highest award. Drexel Institute of Technology bestowed on him an Honorary Doctor of Science, and the Dartmouth College Chapter of Phi BEtta Kappa elected him to its membership. His sister relates that in his consultations with Ford Motor Co. he received a special patent and was given a new Lincoln Continental every year after that.
