\"ArthurArthur Adel (1908-1994) earned a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Michigan in 1933 and shortly thereafter was hired by Lowell Observatory as an atmospheric researcher. He took up residence at Lowell in 1936 after working for the observatory at facilities in Michigan. In 1942 he left Lowell to do wartime scientific research. He returned to Flagstaff and with US Air Force research funding, he established the Atmospheric Research Observatory in 1952 at Arizona State College, becoming the first research professor at what soon became NAU. He retired from NAU in 1976 and with his wife, Katherine, continued to support both the sciences and the arts at NAU. The NAU Adel trust fund provides scholarships for students in Mathematics, and Physics and Astronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n
