chapter (U Wisconsin) in 1908 (see U Wisconsin Band entry below -- Mann was
a faculty member at Wisconsin in 1909). [Another web site (at URL

setting up new laboratories for the department; Dr. Grover Leon Bridger, an
excellent teacher and researcher; Dr. Morton Smutz, who increased the
budget substantially to add new equipment and additional staff; Dr. George
Burnet; Dr. Maurice Larson; Dr. R. C. Seagrave; and Dr. Terry King." The

by Charles A. Mann, a member of the chemical engineering faculty. Mann
directed the University Band from 1908 until the end of the summer session
in 1916." [This includes a photo of Mann with the members of the band.]
- E-mail to National Office of Alpha Chi Sigma (Charles A. Mann was National
President of the Fraternity 1930-1932) requesting information resulted in
a return E-mail from John B(ecker) on 9 Mar 2004:
"I have his record card here and the obit from the Hexagon. I can copy
and mail them to you. what is the best address for this?
For quick data, I see his dates are 6/5/1886-6/25/1949, suicide by carbon
monoxide. BS 1909, MS 1911, PhD 1915 all from Wisconsin, so I suspect his
thesis is available there. I do not know who his advisor was."
- E-mail to the U Wisconsin Madison Biology Library, who relayed the request to
their University Archivist, David Null, requesting information about Charles
August Mann's preceptor. David Null replied through Elsa Althen, Biology
Library head, on April 2-5, 2004:
"We have a book on the history of the Chemistry Department, and it says
that Mann's main dissertation advisor was Edward Kremers, who at that
time was a Professor of Pharmeceutical chemistry and director of the
Pharmacy Course but also cross-listed in the Chemistry Department. I'm
attaching a pdf file with the page from the book, which also gives the
names of the other people on his committee, and a copy of the commencement
program where Mann got his PhD. The book says his degree was in plant
chemistry, but the commencement program says Chemistry and Applied
Electro-chemistry."
The pdf file contained in part:
"Charles august Mann (1886-1949). Mann was a student in pharmacy and
chemistry (B.S. '09, Ph.D. '15), held teaching assistantships and
instructorships in pharmacy and chemical engineering (1909-1916), and
was director of the university band during that period. U.W. Archives."
and:
"Kremers' last prewar doctorate went to Milwaukeean charles A. Mann, who
took three wisconsin degrees, the first two in chemical engineering, the
third in plant chemistry. In 1909, immediately after completing his
bachelor's he served as an assistant in pharmacy, chemistry, and music.
While still an undergrad he was leader and conductor of the concert Band
and continued to be responsible for the band during his graduate school
days. He was, possibly, the university's Renaissance Man. His service
to music included taking the Band to the Panama-Pacific Exposition in
San Francisco in 1915."
"Mann's doctoral research dealt with the chemistry of saw-palmetto
berries and was guided by Kremers while Mann was serving as an instructor
in chemical engineering, where he taught gas and fuel analysis, industrial
chemistry, and chemical manufacturing. His examining committee in 1915
included Kremers, chairman (a pharmacist); Otto Kowalke (chemical
engineering); Lenher (analytical chemistry); Michael Guyer (zoology); and
Kahlenberg (physical chemistry)."
"Mann remained at Wisconsin another year teaching his chemical engineering
courses, then joined the faculty at Iowa state College to develop a
chemical engineering program. by 1919 he was writing to Kremers about
prospects for industrial employment. Although promoted to full professor
and given a salary raise to $3500 he was unhappy with the administrative
apparatus at Iowa state. Even as head of the chemical engineering program,
he had to clear all administrative decisions with the heads of the chemistry
and mining departments, leading to constant friction. A reply from Kremers
has never been found, but Mann did move that summer, not into industry but
to the University of Minnesota where he was chief of the chemical
engineering division until his death thirty years later. ..."

- Mainz does not include Maxwell
- DisAbs has no matching entry for: Maxwell, James

- NDSU does not include Maxwell
- SciWorld shows: "Maxwell, James (1831-1879) Scottish mathematician and
physicist who published physical and mathematical theories of the field.
When he first became interested in electricity, he wrote Kelvin asking how
best to proceed. Kelvin recommended that Maxwell read the published works
in the order Faraday, Kelvin, Amp?re and then the German physicists.
Maxwell wanted to present electricity in its most simple form. He started
out by writing a paper entitled "On Faraday's Lines of Force" (1856), in
which he translated Faraday's theories into mathematical form, presenting
the lines of force as imaginary tubes containing an incompressible fluid.
He then published "On Physical Lines of Force" (1861) in which he treated
the lines of force as real entities, based on the movement of iron filings
inn a magnetic field and using the analogy of an idle wheel. He also
presented a derivation that light consists of transverse undulations of the
same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena. Finally,
he published a purely mathematical theory in "On a dynamical Theory of the
Electromagnetic Field" (1865).
Maxwell's formulation of electricity and magnetism was published in A
Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873), which included the formulas
today known as Maxwell Equations. Maxwell also showed that these equation
implicitly required the existence of electromagnetic wave traveling at the
speed of light. He also proposed a physical ether theory. He abandoned
attempts to formulate a specific mechanical model, instead using the
formalism of Lagrangian dynamics. His theory of electromagnetic fields led
directly to the existence of electromagnetic waves.
With Clausius he developed the kinetic theory of gases. In "Illustrations
of the Dynamical Theory of Gases" (1860), he showed the velocity
distribution of molecules was "Maxwellian." His studies of kinetic theory
led him to propose the Maxwell's Demon paradox in a 1867 letter to Tait.
Maxwell's demon (termed a "finite being" by Maxwell) is a tiny hypothetical
creature that can see individual molecules. He can make heat flow from a
cold body to a hot one by opening a door whenever a molecule with above
average kinetic energy approaches from the cold body, or below average
kinetic energy approaches from the hot body, then quickly closing it. This
process appears to violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but was used
by Maxwell to show that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is a statistical
law describing the properties of a large number of particles. Maxwell also
observed in private correspondence that the time reversal of all events was
consistent with the laws of dynamics, but inconsistent with the Second Law
of Thermodynamics. Maxwell published his views on the limitations of the
Second Law in Theory of Heat (1871). Maxwell made numerous other
contributions to the advancement of science. He argued that the rings of
Saturn were small individual particles, performed experiments which showed
the viscosity varied directly with temperature, derived the equipartition
theorem, and tried to describe spectral lines using a vibrational model."
