Edwin Herbert Hall, Rumford Professor of Physics, Emeritus, died last night at Cambridge Hospital following an illness of three weeks. Professor Hall, who was 83 years old, and whose research and discoveries in electro-magnetic phenomena were known to scientists throughout the world as the Hall Effect, failed to rally after an operation.
The American Association of Physics Teachers last year voted to award their prize for the most notable contribution made to the field of physics by a teacher to Professor Hall.
Funeral services, which will be attended by members of the Harvard Faculty will be held in Memorial Church in the Yard on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.
