Percy Williams Bridgman (1882-1961), was a physicist.  His contributions to the field concern the effects of high pressures on materials and their thermodynamic behavior, contributions that would not have been possible without the equipment, particularly a seal, that he invented himself.  He also contributed to crystallography, electrical conduction in metals, and the philosophy of modern physics.  He was a Nobel laureate in physics (1946) and recipient of many other honors.  He earned his Harvard AB 1904, Harvard AM 1905, and Ph.D. 1908.  He joined the Harvard Faculty in 1908, was appointed Instructor (1910) and Assistant Professor (1919), before becoming Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in 1926.  He was appointed Higgins University Professor in 1950.  Bridgman published more than 260 papers and 13 books.  He took his own life in 1961, rather than dying of the cancer with which he had been diagnosed.
