Eugene P. Gross ’46 *49

EUGENE DIED in Jan. 1991 of pancreatic cancer. He was 64 and lived in Waltham, Mass.

Eugene received his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees at Princeton and became a Carnegie Fellow at Harvard. He then became a research associate at M.I.T. and, subsequently, an assistant professor at Syracuse. At his death, Eugene held the Edward and Gertrude Swartz Chair in theoretical physics. He had been a full professor since 1951, was twice chairman of the physics department and was founderchairman of the University's Council of the School of Science.

His research, reported in more than 80 public papers, focused on ways to determine the properties of systems containing very large numbers of particles, like quantum liquids, plasmas, and solids. He also conducted studies on the kinetic theory of gases and on the properties of liquid helium.

Eugene is survived by his widow, the former Sonja Keller; a son, mark; and a brother, Theodore, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy.
