(From the dust jacket of Theoretical Physics, edited to the past tense.)
F. Woodbridge Constant was a graduate of Princeton University and Yale University, where he received the Ph.D. in physics in 1928 and held Sloane and Loomis Fellowships. He was a National Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology from 1928 to 1930, and a member of the faculty of Duke University during the years 1930-33 and 1934-46, first as Instructor, and later as Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor.
Professor Constant's sabbatical leave during 1933-34 was spent in Cambridge, England where he studied under Dirac and assisted Sir John Cockcroft in nuclear research. From 1942 to 1946 he was a research physicist in a sound ranging project of the National Defense Research Committee of the Office of Scientific Research and Development.
From 1946 until his retirement, Dr. Constant was Jarvis Professor of Physics and Head of the Physics Department at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut. He wrote a number of research papers on magnetism, and was a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
