Leigh Page

==Biography==
Page was born October 13, 1884, in South Orange, New Jersey to Edward Day Page and Cornelia Lee.〔"Prof. Page of Yale Relativity Expert; Faculty Member 40 Years-Who Called Formulae of Einstein 'Too Restricted' Dies at 68", ''The New York Times'', September 17, 1952.〕 He came to the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale in 1909 as an assistant professor in drawing and graduate student under Henry Andrews Bumstead. He switched to physics in 1912, was appointed assistant professor of physics in 1916. He published a survey of "A Century's Progress in Physics" in 1918,〔L. Page (1918) "A Century's Progress in Physics", American Journal of Science Series 4, 46: 303–54,〕 and became professor of mathematical physics in 1922, where he remained until his death in 1952. Devoting most of his time to teaching, Page conducted research and wrote several textbooks, which appeared in various editions, often with the assistance of colleague Norman I. Adams, Jr.. The books ''Electrodynamics'' and ''Introduction to Theoretical Physics'' "have had a profound influence on the development of many of America's leading mathematical physicists."〔
In 1967 Yale University sponsored the first of the Leigh Page Prize Lectures, an honor since bestowed on several Nobel laureates and other notable physicists.
