	Biographies of Sir William M. Ramsay -- by J.G.C. Anderson
		RAMSAY, SIR WILLIAM MITCHELL (1851-1939), classical scholar and archaeologist and the foremost authority of his day on the topography, antiquities, and history of Asia Minor in ancient times, was born in Glasgow 15 March 1851, the Youngest son of Thomas Ramsay, by his wife, Jane, daughter of William Mitchell, both of Alloa.
		Ramsay was knighted in 1906 and received many academic distinctions: three honorary fellowships of Oxford colleges (Exeter, 1898, Lincoln, 1899, and St. John's, 1912) and honorary degrees from six British universities and from New York, Bordeaux, and Marburg.
		Ramsay's title to distinction is the immense advance, based upon a rich harvest of new evidence, which he achieved in the knowledge of the geography and topography of Asia Minor and of its political, social, and cultural (including religious) history.

	Sir William Ramsay
		William Ramsay was born in Glasgow on October 2, 1852, the son of William Ramsay, C.E. and Catherine, née Robertson.
		Yet another discovery of Ramsay (in conjunction with Professor Frederick Soddy), the importance of which it was impossible to foresee, was the detection of helium in the emanations of radium (1903).
		In 1904, Ramsay was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air, and his determination of their place in the Periodic system".

		William Ramsay was born at Queen's Crescent, Glasgow, on Oct. 2, 1852.
		Ramsay studied the classics, mathematics, and literature at the University of Glasgow (1866-1869) and then entered Robert Tatlock's laboratory while attending scientific lectures at the university.
		Ramsay, now convinced that there was an entire group of elements missing from the periodic table, embarked upon a diligent search for them.

	Sir William Ramsay - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR WILLIAM RAMSAY (1852-), British chemist, nephew of Sir A. Ramsay, was born at Glasgow on the 2nd of October 1852.
		With Sydney Young and others he investigated the critical state and properties of liquids and the relationship between their vapour pressures and temperature, and with John Shields he applied measurements of the surface tension of liquids to the determination of their molecular complexity.
		Turning to the study of radioactivity, he noticed its association with the minerals which yield helium, and in support of the hypothesis that that gas is a disintegration-product of radium he proved in 1903 that it is continuously formed by the latter substance in quantities sufficiently great to be directly recognizable in the spectroscope.

	William Ramsay
		William Ramsay (1852–1916) is known for work that established a whole new group in the periodic table—variously called over time inert, rare, or noble gases.
		Ramsay began his studies in his native city of Glasgow and completed a doctorate in chemistry at Tübingen, focusing on organic chemistry.
		In 1892 Ramsay's curiosity was piqued by Lord Rayleigh's observation that the density of nitrogen extracted from the air was always greater than nitrogen released from various chemical compounds.

		Of Scottish descent, Ramsay was the only child of devout Calvinists, and descended from three generations of workers in the dyeing industry on his father's side.
		Ramsay and Rayleigh's joint announcement of this discovery to the Royal Society of London created a sensation, since the new element showed no chemical activity and did not fit into the existing pattern of the recently established periodic table.
		However, a gaseous "emanation" from radium that Ramsay called "niton"—the molecular weight of which he determined from a minute sample in a remarkable experiment—was later proved to be yet another gas element, radon.
