His father was an engineer with a classicist's heart. His paternal grandfather was a distinguished and impractical etymologist for the Century Dictionary, and was likely Bill's inspiration for an academic career. His maternal great grandfather, from whom the name 'Taussig' came, was a Czech pharmacist, doctor and judge.  Family lore suggests that Bill was a curious child who enjoyed working on mathematical puzzles; he remembered working on such puzzles at night in bed! Scott received a superb education at Scarborough School, Swarthmore College (B. A. 1937) and the University of Michigan (Ph. D. 1941).  Bill became a Quaker at Swarthmore and was passionately committed to peace all of his life. He was a conscientious objector in World War II. Later he served as a counselor in the Vietnam War and helped found the Northern Nevada Peace Center and Sierra Interfaith Action for Peace. While living in Nevada, the governor twice awarded Bill the Thornton Peace Prize.  As a bright young physicist, his professional life was influenced by his decision not to work on weapons research. His life as a scientist was frequently that of a social activist: Bill was a co-founder in 1949 and president of the Society for Social Responsibility in Science, an early international organization whose members included Einstein. Scott worked as a teacher of physics at Amherst College and Deep Springs Junior College for a few years before becoming a professor at Smith College from 1945-61. He then moved to the University of Nevada, Reno and the Desert Research Institute where he taught and did research as an atmospheric physicist on how cloud droplets coalesce.  During his career, Bill published many articles in theoretical physics, atmospheric physics and on the teaching of physics; he wrote a textbook The Physics of Electricity and Magnetism in the late fifties that took a somewhat unusual historical approach. In 1967, he published Erwin Schrödinger: An Introduction to His Writings, which is a brief study of Schrödinger's life and work in philosophy and theoretical physics."},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Scott, William T., 1916-1999"]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by William T.
