Arthur Kaskel Solomon ’34

Art, emeritus professor of biophysics at Harvard Medical School and a scientific member of the US delegation to UNESCO in 1976 and 1978, died Nov. 6, 2002, at his home in Cambridge, Mass. He had been in failing health but continued to teach first-year medical students into the 1990s, as well as continuing with full-time research. He arrived at the medical school in 1939 as a research associate in physics and chemistry and, except for WWII research on radar in England, remained there nearly until his death. He was a founder of the Biophysical Society in the US and an influential member of the small group that founded the Int'l. Union for Pure & Applied Biophysics, of which he was the first secretary-general.

Art is survived by his wife, Mariot "Marny"; a son, Mark; a daughter, Susanna; and several grandchildren. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
