“…was available to graduates from New Zealand. Rutherford's application was successful but only because the first awardee declined to accept the offer (Campbell, 1999). J.J. offered the young New Zealander the opportunity to work in his lab at the Cavendish, and Rutherford left New Zealand for Cambridge in late 1895 (Fig.…”

“…3). Rutherford was to become Cambridge University's first research student from another university after Cambridge ''lowered its nose and opened its doors to outsiders'' (Campbell, 1999) to admit other graduates. Rutherford joined Trinity College at the recommendation of J.J., although at first he resided outside of the university in a private lodging.…”

“…The environment proved to be one Rutherford, then 24, reveled in though he and the other ''outsiders'' were not always well received by the Cambridge boys, some of whom demonstrated to undergraduates to supplement their income.

Ernest Rutherford and Francis Aston were born a world apart but both would become two of the most influential physicists of their time. Their separate training, under the direction of J.J. Thomson at the Cavendish Laboratory, shaped their future and allowed both men to develop and apply their considerable skills in experimental physics. It also catalyzed their careers and ultimately led to each receiving a Nobel Prize. Although they had very different characters, Rutherford and Aston became close colleagues and confidants who spent considerable time together within the confines of the Cavendish Laboratory, at Trinity College, and elsewhere in Cambridge. They also traveled the world in company, usually as part of a group or British delegation of scientists attending conferences and meetings overseas. This article parallels the lives of the two men. It describes how they came to work at the Cavendish, their scientific accomplishments and accolades, and their activities and interactions away from the laboratory. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc., Mass Spec Rev 26:713–723, 2007
