Arthur Holly Compton (September 10, 1892 – March 15, 1962) was an American physicistwho shared the 1927 Nobel Prize in Physics with C. T. R. Wilsonfor his discovery of the Compton effect,which demonstrated the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation.It was a significant discovery at the time; the wave nature of light had been well-demonstrated, but the idea that light had both wave and particle propertieswas not easily accepted.
During World War II,Compton was a key figure in the Manhattan Projectthat developed the first nuclear weapons.His reports were important in launching the project.
After the war ended, Compton resigned his chair as Charles H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago and returned to Washington University in St. Louis, where he was inaugurated as the university\'s ninth chancellor in 1946.During Compton\'s time as chancellor, the university formally desegregated its undergraduate divisions in 1952, named its first female full professor, and enrolled record numbers of students as wartime veterans returned to the United States. His reputation and connections in national scientific circles allowed him to recruit many nationally renowned scientific researchers to the university.
