Colleagues remember Bethe
Three of Hans Bethe's friends and colleagues relate fond memories
Hans Bethe was a collective mentor to Cornell's Department of Physics.
Among his friends and colleagues in the department were David Mermin, the Horace White Professor of Physics; Saul Teukolsky, the Hans A. Bethe Professor of Physics and Astrophysics, and chair of the department; and Kurt Gottfried, professor of physics, emeritus, whose third-floor Newman Lab office was for many years just down the hall from Bethe's. Here they recount anecdotes about the humanity and humor for which Bethe is warmly remembered.
