F PAUL ANDERSON 1867 – 1934
Anderson graduated from Purdue University in 1890 and received a Professional Mechanical
Engineer degree in 1894. In 1891, he was appointed Professor and Dean of the School of
Mechanical Engineering at A&M College of Kentucky, located in Lexington. He was a
scholar as well as a noted engineer. He devoted his life to building a notable College of
Engineering, and under his leadership, it became one of the top schools in the nation. In 1921,
Professor Anderson was appointed Director of Research of the ASHVE in Pittsburgh. He
recruited many of his best students and faculty members to work at the laboratory and during
his tenure 62 scientific papers on heating, ventilating and air conditioning were published.
The most important studies were those directed toward developing a comfort zone of
atmosphere. In 1927, Professor Anderson was elected President of ASHVE as a result of his
contributions to the Society. When ASHVE initiated an award in 1930 for the person who
had made the greatest contribution to the field of heating and ventilation, the award was
named after him. F Paul Anderson was inducted into the ASHRAE Hall of Fame in 1994.
