Description: Richard Tolman was a leader in the intellectual life of Caltech, a scientific advisor to government, an expert in relativity and thermodynamics, and a theoretician of the structure of the universe.
Richard Chace Tolman (1881-1948) arrived at Caltech in 1922 to join the faculty as Professor of Physical Chemistry and Mathematical Physics. He commissioned the house to be built, originally just two blocks north of campus, and lived there with his wife, Ruth Sherman Tolman, until his death in 1948.
Richard Chace Tolman was born on March 4, 1881, in West Newton, Massachusetts, where he received his elementary and secondary school training in the Newton public schools. His father was a successful business man and his mother came from the Chace Quaker family of strong anti-slavery convictions.
