Nichols, who was graduated at Cornell with the class of 1875, had conceived so great a fondness for the study of physics under the inspiring teaching of Professor Anthony that he decided immediately after graduation to go to Europe for further study of this science. After nearly four years at Leipsic, Berlin, and Goettingen, much of which time was spent in the laboratory of Helmholtz, he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the last-named institution. On his return home in 1879 he was... fellow in physics for a year in the Johns Hopkins University. The fol- lowing year (1880-81) was devoted to problems relat- ing to the development of the incandescent lamp in Edison's establishment at Menlo Park. For two years (1881-83) he was professor of physics and chemistry in Central University, Richmond, Ky., and for the four succeeding years (1883-87) professor of physics and astronomy in the University of Kansas. In August, 1887, Mr. Nichols was appointed to the chair of physics in Cornell University, made vacant by Professor Anthony's resignation.
