Richard Chace Tolman (March 4, 1881 – September 5, 1948) was an American mathematical physicist and physical chemist who made many contributions to statistical mechanics. He also made important contributions to theoretical cosmology in the years soon after Einstein's discovery of general relativity .
Richard C. Tolman (born March 4, 1881, West Newton, Mass., U.S.—died Sept. 5, 1948, Pasadena, Calif.) was a U.S. physical chemist and physicist who demonstrated the electron to be the charge-carrying particle in the flow of electricity in metals and determined its mass.

Richard C. Tolman, who had worked with Noyes as a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was one Caltech’s earliest faculty members, accepting a professorship in physical chemistry and mathematical physics in 1922, the same year he joined the National Academy of Sciences.
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.
Richard Chase Tolman, for whom the Tolman Award was named, was born March 4, 1881, in West Newton, Massachusetts. Early in his career, he demonstrated that the electron was the charge-carrying particle in metals and determined its mass, but he was known later primarily as a theorist.
