Samuel Colville Lind (June 15,
1879, McMinnville, Tennessee – February 12, 1965) was a radiation chemist,
referred to as "the father of modern radiation chemistry". He gained
his B.A in 1899 at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia. After a
short spell at MIT he moved to study Chemistry at Leipzig University in
Germany, carrying out research into the kinetics of chemical reactions, where
he was awarded a Ph.D in 1905. He then returned to work at the University of
Michigan until 1913, studying the chemical reactions induced by ionizing
radiation. From 1913 to 1925 he worked at the US Bureau of Mines, concerned
with extraction of radium from carnotite ore. He subsequently studied the
chemical effects of radiation, including on diamonds, and was appointed Chief
Chemist of the bureau in 1923. He continued the radiation studies at the Fixed
Nitrogen Research Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture (1925–26) and the
University of Minnesota (1926–1947) as head of its School of Chemistry. He
spent his last few working years as acting director of the chemistry division
at Oak Ridge National Laboratory studying the radiation chemistry of gases. He
was inducted a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1927 and elected a
member of the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1930. He served as
president of the American Electrochemical Society in 1927 and the American
Chemical Society in 1940. Among his awards was the Ira Remsen Award in 1947,
and the Priestley Medal in 1952.
