Title

Elementary Physics First Floor - Room 30, Prof. Gorton

Description

This image depicts an Elementary Physics class being taught by Professor Fred Gorton. The Physical Sciences occupied the majority of Gorton’s free time, which is evident in the fact that, in addition to serving as a part of the Physical Sciences Department, Gorton was a member of the Sociétéde Physique (Physical Society) and the American Academy for the Advancement of Science (Aurora, 1912, p. 49). Fred remained a part of the Michigan State Normal College’s faculty for 50 years, retiring only a few years before his passing.
