James Van Allen dies |
Remembering James Van Allen
By Michael Knock
For the Press-Citizen
James Van Allen, who built the University of Iowa physics department into
a leader in space research and was dubbed by Time Magazine as "a pure
scientist turned spaceman," died Wednesday. He was 91.
"He was a legend among scientists, the father of physics in space in the
United States," Tom Boggess, chairman of the UI physics and astronomy
department, said Wednesday.
"He was an amicable and humble man. He was a remarkable individual," he
said.
Don Gurnett was a UI professor of physics and astronomy and a Van Allen
student in the late 1950s. He was one of several colleagues and friends
of Van Allen who were interviewed by the Press-Citizen a year ago as it
began compiling a look at the life and accomplishments of the renowned
space physicist.
