A former Princeton astronomer, Henry Norris Russell, will join the University astronomical staff this fall as a Research Associate of the College Observatory, following his recent appointment to the Faculty.
Professor Russell, former director of the Princeton Observatory, has done extensive work in solar research and in the study of eclipsing binaries. He is past president of three major American astronomical societies, and has received several medals in recognition of his work.
Born in Oyster Bay, N.Y., in 1877, Professor Russell attended Princeton, and following his graduation in 1897 he studied in England, receiving his Ph.D. from Cambridge in 1900. He studied and worked in Cambridge until returning to this country to join the Princeton faculty in 1905. Since then he has been at Princeton continuously to the time of his retirement this summer.
