Joseph Henry and the Relations Between Teaching and Research
Close
PrintThis article discusses Henry's teaching career and the research he undertook in electricity and magnetism as a professor first at Albany Academy in New York, and later at the College of New Jersey (Princeton University). Using unpublished correspondence, laboratory journals, and lecture notes of Henry's students, the author shows that Henry used his research and lectures to structure and support one another. This was particularly significant in an era when research was not considered a duty of college professors.
