After receiving his doctorate from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University), Eckel taught at Purdue University and worked for several companies, including Bell Telephone Laboratories, Western Electric, and General Electric's Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory. He joined the Virginia Tech Faculty in 1956 and retired as head of metallurgy in 1968.
Frans Van Damme, a scientific glassblower and faculty instructor in the Department of Chemistry, died May 5. During his 35 years at Virginia Tech, Van Damme served as supervisor of the Virginia Tech Glass Instruments Laboratory and taught Advanced and Intermediate Scientific Glassworking. He won three awards for teaching excellence and earned the departmental Alan Clifford Service Award. In addition, Van Damme made decorative glassware, including a working trombone made entirely of glass for the Highty Tighties.
John Murray, who taught chemistry and glassblowing at Virginia Tech from 1942 until his retirement in 1971, died Aug. 19. His specialty was physical chemistry and general chemistry. "He made many valuable contributions to the junior physical chemistry laboratory, which he taught for over 10 years," says Larry Taylor, head of the Department of Chemistry. Murray held degrees from Colgate University and JohnsHopkins University.
