Grant Oscar Gale (December 29, 1903 – April 14, 1998) was the S.S. Williston Professor of physics at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, the curator of Grinnell's Physics Historical Museum, and the namesake of the Grant O. Gale Observatory on the Grinnell campus. While an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin, Gale was a classmate of John Bardeen with whom he kept in touch in later years. Gale was also the physics instructor for Grinnell music student Herbie Hancock.

  • Grant Oscar Gale (December 29, 1903 – April 14, 1998) was the S.S. Williston Professor of physics at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, the curator of Grinnell's Physics Historical Museum, and the namesake of the Grant O. Gale Observatory on the Grinnell campus. While an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin, Gale was a classmate of John Bardeen with whom he kept in touch in later years. After graduation in 1928 Gale was offered an instructor position in physics at Grinnell College, and eventually became Professor of Physics. Until his death in 1998 he collected science equipment which had become obsolete and maintained a series of exhibits which now form the core of Grinnell's Physics Historical Museum. From Bardeen, Gale acquired early versions of the transistor. One of Gale's most noted students was his former baby sitter, Robert Noyce, co-inventor of the integrated circuit and founder of Intel. While Noyce was his student at Grinnell: Gale had kept up with Bardeen and his work, and he obtained two transistors in 1948 while Noyce was an undergraduate. Noyce worked with Gale on the transistor and was thus among the first to encounter its limitless potential. Gale's mentorship of Noyce was also instrumental in protecting him from disciplinary action when Noyce stole a pig from a nearby farmer (who actually was also the Mayor) and then slaughtered it in Clark Hall for a college luau. The prank would have earned him expulsion and jail time since livestock theft was a felony offense in Iowa, if not for Gale's intervention. Gale was also the physics instructor for Grinnell music student Herbie Hancock. The large "Alpha and Omega Sundial" which sits next to the Noyce Science Center on the Grinnell College campus is named in honor of Gale's wife Harriet. (en)
  • Grant Oscar Gale (29 de dezembro de 1903 – 14 de abril de 1998) foi um físico estadunidense. Foi professor da cátedra S.S. Williston de física do Grinnell College em Grinnell, Iowa, curador do Grinnell's Physics Historical Museum, sendo o Grant O. Gale Observatory no câmpus de Grinnell denominado em sua homenagem. Quando aluno de graduação na Universidade do Wisconsin-Madison Gale foi colega de John Bardeen, com quem manteve-se em contato durante muitos anos. Após a graduação em 1928 Gale recebeu uma oferta para ser instrutor de física no Grinnell College, tornando-se depois professor de física. Até sua morte em 1998 colecionou equipamentos científicos que se tornaram obsoletos, e manteve uma série de exposições, o que forma atualmente a grande parte do Grinnell's Physics Historical Museum. Gale adquiriu de Bardeen versões iniciais do transistor. Um dos seus alunos de maior destaque foi Robert Noyce, co-inventor do circuito integrado e fundador da Intel Corporation. Enquanto Noyce foi seu aluno em Grinnell: Gale manteve-se em contato com Bardeen e seu trabalho, e obteve dois transistores em 1948 enquanto Robert Noyce era aluno de graduação. Noyce trabalhou com Gale no transistor e foi assim dentre os primeiros a identificar seus potenciais ilimitados. A orientação que Gale deu a Noyce foi também instrumental em protegê-lo de atos de indisciplina, quando Noyce roubou um porco de um fazendeiro na proximidade (que também era o prefeito da cidade) e então o abateu em Clark Hall para uma festa do colégio. A brincadeira teria resultado em sua expulsão e prisão, pois o roubo de animais era um delito grave em Iowa, se não fosse a intervenção de Gale. O grande relógio de sol "Alpha and Omega" localizado próximo ao Noyce Science Center no câmpus do Grinnell College é denominado em memória da mulher de Gale, Harriet M. Gale. (pt)
