Arthur Stewart Eve CBE FRS FRSC[1] (22 November 1862 – 24 March 1948) was an English physicist who worked in Canada.

[6][7] After a series of successful researches with Rutherford, Eve was appointed Associate Professor of Physics in 1909 and, in the following year, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

He was persuaded by Sir William Bragg to forego active service, and succeed him as Director of the Admiralty Experimental Station at Harwich, where his team worked on detection of submarines.

In that same year, Eve was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1918 was appointed CBE, and made a colonel in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

[8] Aided by the Principal of McGill, Sir Arthur Currie, Eve began rebuilding the department.

When Ernest Rutherford died in 1937 he was persuaded to document his colleague and friend’s life; the book appeared in 1939.
