Charles Phelps "Charlie" Smyth〔 (; February 10, 1895 – March 18, 1990) was an American chemist. He was educated at Princeton University and Harvard University. From 1920 to 1963 he was a faculty member in the Princeton Department of Chemistry, and from 1963 to 1970 he was a consultant to the Office of Naval Research. He was awarded the Nichols Medal by the New York Section of the American Chemical Society in 1954. During World War I he worked in the National Bureau of Standards and the Chemical Warfare Service, and during World War II he worked on the Manhattan Project and Operation Alsos. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom in 1947 for the last. ==Personal life== Smyth was born February 10, 1895, in Clinton, New York,〔 to Ruth Anne Phelps〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Henry DeWolf Smyth papers, 1885–1987 )〕 and Charles Henry Smyth, Jr., a professor of geology at Hamilton College. Woodrow Wilson, then President of Princeton University, convinced Smyth ''pére'' to join the faculty at Princeton, and in 1905 the family moved to Princeton, New Jersey. Charles Phelps Smyth and his younger brother, Henry DeWolf Smyth, attended the same primary and secondary schools. The younger brother also received undergraduate and master's degrees from Princeton, but in physics, and became a Princeton faculty member like Charles Phelps Smyth and their father. Both brothers served in the Chemical Warfare Service in World War I and on the Manhattan Project.〔 In 1955 he married Emily Ellen Vezin.〔 His 1990 ''The New York Times'' obituary mentions his wife but does not mention children.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Phelps Smyth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
