Biographical Note

Physicist (electrical phenomena, gaseous electronics, atomic and molecular physics). On the physics faculty at University of California at Berkeley from 1923; consultant, United States Naval Ordnance Laboratory, 1945-1955; member, subcommittee on physics, National Research Council, 1928-1938. Died in 1978.

Scope and Contents of Collection

Lecture notes were taken by Loeb while a student of Albert A. Michelson, and Robert A. Millikan at the University of Chicago. Courses taught by Michelson include classes in mechanics and wave motion, physical optics, electromagnetic theory of light, electricity and magnetism, and optics. Courses taught by Millikan include electron theory, thermodynamics and radiation, "Physics 12," Physics 43," and quantum theory.
