	William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomson contended that the speed of a signal through a given core was inversely proportional to the square of the length of the core.
		Thomson took part in the laying of the French Atlantic submarine communications cable of 1869, and with Jenkin was engineer of the Western and Brazilian and Platino-Brazilian cables, assisted by vacation student James Alfred Ewing.
		Thomson ultimately settled on an estimate that the Earth was 100,000,000 years old but by the time of his death it was becoming apparent that the effects of radioactivity accounted for a much greater age.

		Thomson was valedictorian of his class at the Lawrenceville School and received his BA from Yale, where he was chairman of the Yale Daily News.

		Thomson was given the assignment, he said, largely because of his prolific writings of op-ed and magazine pieces on public affairs and foreign policy.

		In The Seasons, Thomson’s faithful, sensitive descriptions of external nature were a direct challenge to the urban and artificial school of Pope and influenced the forerunners of romanticism, such as Gray and Cowper.
		His other important poems are Liberty (1735–36), a tribute to Britain, and The Castle of Indolence (1748), written in imitation of Spenser and reflecting the poet’s delight in idleness.
		Thomson also wrote a series of tragedies along classical lines, with a strong political flavor.

		Scottish poet and dramatist, and one of the best-known members of the Graveyard School poets (fondly known around LitGothic as "the boneyard boys" — most were indeed male), friend and supporter of William Collins and rather well-connected member of the early C18 London literati.
		Thomson's major, and hugely influential, work was the long poem The Seasons (1726-1730).

		James Thomson was perhaps the eighteenth-century author most responsible for the tradition we now think of as "nature poetry" in British literature.
		As his editor J. Logie Robertson notes, "Thomson's great merit lies in his restoration of nature to the domain of poetry from which it had been banished by Pope and his school" (viii).
		Here is Thomson himself: "I know no subject more elevating, more amusing, more ready to awake the poetic enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature.

	Gazette: James Thomson and the Holy Grail (Jan/Feb 2002)
		In 1998, graduate alumnus Dr. James Thomson won the race to isolate and culture human stem-cells for a sustained period—one of the holy grails of medical science—but he can’t outrun the controversy generated by his work.
		So it’s not surprising that in his laboratory at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where Thomson is assistant professor of anatomy in the Medical School and chief pathologist at the Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center, he has cut to the heart of the matter.
		While Thomson doubted the President’s assertion that there were 64 cell lines in existence that could be used by researchers, the scientist’s reaction to Bush’s announcement was characteristically composed: “I’m not completely happy with the decision,” he said, “but the President came a long way.”
