		Hess returned to the University of Graz in 1923 and was made a full professor in 1925 and dean of the faculty in 1929.

	Victor Francis Hess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victor Francis Hess (June 24, 1883 – December 17, 1964) was an Austrian-American physicist.
		After teaching at the universities of Graz and Innsbruck, he relocated to the United States in 1938 in order to escape Nazi persecution (his wife was Jewish) and was appointed professor of physics at Fordham University that same year.
		By means of instruments carried aloft in balloons, Hess and others proved that radiation that ionizes the atmosphere is of cosmic origin.

	Victor Franz Hess Biography \| World of Scientific Discovery
		Victor Franz Hess was born on June 24, 1883 in Austria.
		Hess, in 1911, decided to undertake risky high-altitude balloon ascents with an electroscope on board to see if the radiation persisted in the atmosphere.
		Hess was ready to suggest that the source of the radiation was outer space, but the phenomenon remained controversial until Robert A. Millikan confirmed Hess's hypothesis in 1928.

	Hess, Victor Franz (1883-1964)
		Beginning in 1912, Hess sent up balloons carrying electroscopes in order to locate the source of background radiation causing ionization in the atmosphere.
		Hess believed the radiation would decrease at greater altitudes, but found that instead it increased up to eight times.
		He suggested that the radiation came from space and Robert Millikan proposed the name "cosmic rays." Hess shared the 1936 Nobel Prize for Physics with Carl Anderson.

	Victor Francis Hess (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Austrian-born physicist who was a joint recipient, with Carl D. Anderson of the United States, of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1936 for his discovery of cosmic rays--high-energy radiation originating in outer space.
		In a series of balloon ascents in 1911-13, Hess found that the radiation increased rapidly with altitude, and suggested it had extraterrestrial origins.
		Hess taught and conducted research at the universities of Vienna (1910-20), Graz (1920-31), and Innsbruck (1931-37).

		Among the earliest immigrants were Joseph Hess to New York in 1709; Samuel Hess to America in 1731; John Hess to Pennsylvania in 1729; Abraham Hess in 1728; John Hess to New York City, in 1762; and Edward Hess in 1746.
		For example, one of the first communists in Europe was Moses Hess, who was also a German Jew that became one of the first Zionists to promote a homeland in Palestine.
		Unfortunately there is also a dark side to the name, as we are reminded that it was a Hess that was appointed deputy Führer during the awful war.

	TIME.com: Three Prizes -- Nov. 23, 1936 -- Page 1
		The Prize for Physics was divided between a pioneer cosmic ray researcher, Professor Victor Franz Hess, 53, of Austria's Innsbruck University, and 31-year-old Professor Carl David Anderson of California Institute of Technology, discoverer of a fundamental particle of matter, the positive electron.
		Hess was the first man to see clearly that the cosmic rays were cosmic—that is, that they did not come from the earth or the atmosphere.
		In 1934, still on the job, Dr. Hess aimed his recorders at the exploding star Nova Hercules (TIME, Dec. 31, 1934) to see whether, as some cosmologists had suggested, such stellar blow-ups could be a source of cosmic rays.

		They were discovered when the electrical conductivity of the earth's atmosphere was traced to ionization caused by energetic radiation.
		The Austrian-American physicist Victor Franz Hess showed in 1911-12 that atmospheric ionization increases with altitude, and he concluded that the radiation must be coming from outer space.
		The discovery that the intensity of the radiation depends on latitude implied that the particles composing the radiation are electrically charged and are deflected by the earth's magnetic field.
