After teaching in a school for a year he undertook graduate study at Johns Hopkins University. He obtained a doctorate in 1900 for a thesis entitled Infinitesimal deformations of surfaces. This work was heavily influenced by Darboux 's treatise on the subject and he received little supervision for his doctorate. Eisenhart spent most of his career at Princeton where he became an instructor in mathematics in 1900. He was promoted to professor in 1909 and worked there until he retired in 1945. He served as Dean of the Faculty from 1925 to 1933 when he became Dean of the Graduate School. There are two stages in Eisenhart's work although it is all in differential geometry . The first stage continued his doctoral work studying deformations of surfaces. His first book A Treatise in the Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces , published in 1909, was on this topic and was a development of courses he had given at Princeton for several years.

Eisenhart, Luther Pfahler Eisenhart, Luther Pfahler (1876-1965) contributed to Princeton's development in many ways: as mathematician, teacher, chairman of his department; as chairman of the Committee on Scientific Research, dean of the faculty, dean of the Graduate School; and as father of the four-course plan. Born in York, Pennsylvania, Eisenhart was graduated in 1896 from Gettysburg College where he excelled in baseball and mathematics. He completed all of the mathematics courses the college gave by the end of his sophomore year and spent his last two years studying mathematical problems on his own under the general guidance of his professor. This experience, he said later, gave him the idea for the four-course plan. He went on to graduate study at the Johns Hopkins University, where he found the emphasis on study and research and the low priority given to rules and restrictions congenial and stimulating. After receiving his Ph.D. in 1900, Eisenhart was called to Princeton by President Patton as instructor in mathematics. He soon earned a reputation as a stimulating teacher and in 1905 was selected by Woodrow Wilson to be one of the original preceptors. He also made his mark as one of the elite group of promising young mathematicians brought together and nurtured by Dean Fine, and rose to the rank of full professor in 1909 when he was only thirty-three. In 1925, following Eisenhart's work on the early development of the four-course plan, President Hibben chose him as dean of the faculty. Four years later, after Dean Fine's death, Eisenhart was also appointed chairman of the Committee on Scientific Research, named Dod Professor of Mathematics, and made chairman of the department. Eisenhart's continuation of the work begun by Fine brought Princeton to a preeminent place among the world's centers for mathematical study and prepared the way for the outstanding scientific contribution the University was able to make to the national effort in World War II. In the interregnum between the Hibben and Dodds presidencies, Eisenhart bore a major share of administrative responsibility. In 1933 President Dodds named him dean of the Graduate School.

Eisenhart, Luther Pfahler US theoretical geometrist who formulated a unifying principle to the theory of the deformation of surfaces. In the 1920s he attempted to develop his own geometry theory from that of German mathematician Georg Riemann. Eisenhart was born in York, Pennsylvania, and studied at Gettysburg College, Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. His life's work in mathematical research was spent at Princeton University 1900-45. One of Eisenhart's major achievements was to relate his theories regarding differential geometry to studies bordering on the topological. At the age of 25 he wrote one of the first characterizations of a sphere as defined in terms of differential geometry (the paper had the somewhat daunting title 'Surfaces whose first and second forms are respectively the second and first forms of another surface'). The deformation of a surface involves the congruence of lines connecting a point and its image. Eisenhart's contribution was to realize that, in all known cases, the intersections of these surfaces with the given surface and its image form a set of curves which have special properties. He wrote his account of the theory in 1923, in Transformations of Surface.

Since then deans have proliferated all told there have been ten kinds (eight of which have persisted): Dean of the Faculty 1883 Dean of the Graduate School 1901 Dean of the Departments of Science 1909-1928 Dean of the College 1909 Dean of the School of Engineering 1922 Dean of Freshmen 1925-1943 Dean of the Chapel 1928 Dean of Students (later Dean of Student Affairs) 1954 Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School 1964 Dean of the School of Architecture 1965 The Chairman of the University Research Board (1959), while not called a dean, is accorded rank equivalent to a dean by the trustee bylaws. The work of deans is arduous and sometimes invidious (President McCosh's word for it), but some forty persons who have been deans have generally shown staying power and devotion. Given their stature, it is remarkable that so few of them have gone on to college or university presidencies Luther P. Eisenhart received seven presidential calls during his several deanships, and it is probable that every dean has received at least one call. Deans are generally held in high regard, and their title considered an honorable one, though Dean McClenahan once announced that he preferred to be called ``mister'' having just read in the

His parents were Thomas Harrison Carmichael, a physician, and Emily Henrietta Leonard Carmichael, a graduate of Wellesley College. His maternal grandfather, Charles Hall Leonard, was Dean of the Crane Theological School of Tufts University, a fact that presages Carmichael's long association with that university. Trained as a psychologist in the early years of this field, he also pursued research in zoology and biology. Carmichael's greatest contributions were in the areas of child psychology and biopsychology, with a special emphasis on the importance of genetic determinants of behavior. He was educated at Tufts (B.S., 1920) and Harvard (Ph.D., 1924) and taught at Princeton (1924-1926), Brown (1926-1936), and Rochester (1936-1938). During his time at Brown, he collaborated with Herbert Jasper in the earliest EEG studies in this country. He was president of Tufts University from 1938-1952, where he was simultaneously Director of the Laboratory of Sensory Physiology and Psychology. In 1946, he published his
