William Lofland Dudley
William Lofland Dudley (April 16, 1859 – September 8, 1914) was an American chemistry professor at the University of Cincinnati and Vanderbilt University. At Vanderbilt, he was appointed dean of its medical department. Dudley was director of affairs on the Tennessee Centennial Exposition executive committee and vice-president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
In 1880, he helped John Holland to melt iridium by adding phosphorus. Dudley discovered that carbon monoxide was a major injurious component of tobacco smoke, was one of the first to publish the physiological effects of X-rays with fellow Vanderbilt professor John Daniel, and posited that neon gas produced the aurora borealis.
He was instrumental in the establishment of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the first Southern athletics conference and forerunner of the Southern and Southeastern Conferences. Dudley was a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association executive and football rules committees. Known as the "father of Vanderbilt football"〔 and the "father of Southern football," he was the namesake of Dudley Field (the first dedicated Southern college football stadium).〔("William Lofland Dudley" ) Journal of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry 1914 ''6'' (10), 856-859.〕
