4350, Vol. 125) (at the URL
http://www.ox.ac.uk/gazette/backissues/9495/190195/exam.txt) includes:
"GENERAL BOARD OF THE FACULTIES|With the approval of the General Board, the
following appointments and reappointments have been made and titles
conferred for the periods stated.|2 Reappointments|Physical Sciences|
russell g. egdell, ma, d.phil., Fellow of Trinity. In Inorganic Chemistry."
- SciFinder shows papers co-authored with John B. Goodenough (close to the
initial 'John Godnoff'??) in 1983,1983,1984,1986 while about 30 other
publications go back to 1976. [Wonder if Egdell got his MA around 1976 and
worked in research many years before earning his D Phil around 1986 --
this would explain all the publications, including one sole-authored, in
the earlier years.]
- SciFinder also shows papers co-authored with Anthony F. Orchard 1977, 1978 (5),
1979 (2), 1980 (3), 1981, 1982 -- 13 papers ending before the 4 papers with
Goodenough appeared 1983 (2), 1984, 1986. Some co-authors (M.D. Hill, for
example) span both time periods.
- E-mail from James W. Oliver on 05 Sep 2003 states: "I was looking at Simon's
[Garrett] page, and this does not mesh with something that he had given to
me. That was: Russell G Edgell (Oxon) -> A.F. Orchard (Oxon) -> R.J.P.
Williams -> H.I. Irvine." [The last three entries indicate that Egdell's
preceptor is not now known with confidence.]
- TMS entry about Goodenough says in part: "John B. Goodenough ... Ph.D. in
physics ... in ... 1952... After receiving his Ph.D., he served as group
leader at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory
for 24 years. He was professor and head of the inorganic chemistry
laboratory at the University of Oxford before assuming his current
position in 1986." [This indicates he was at Oxford about 1976-1986.]

- SciFinder shows 20 of 30 earliest papers (1924-1931) were co-authored with
E B Hart (and 4 papers sole-authored) including a series of 9 papers with the
same title as the thesis -- suggests that E B Hart was Evehjem's thesis advisor. The only close match in DisAbs is Edward Hart, PhD 1878 Johns Hopkins. Found two publication with Elvehjem and Edwin B Hart in 1936 and 1940. -- appears likely that Edwin B Hart is Elvehjem's thesis advisor.]
