Newson chaired Duke University's physics department from 1973 to 1975. He was a professor of physics at Duke University and TUNL's director until his death in 1978. His successor as TUNL's director was his former doctoral student, Edward Bilpuch[2] (1927–2012). Newson's doctoral students include
John H. Gibbons and
Myron L. Good.[3]
Newson was elected in 1960 a Fellow of the
American Physical Society.[9] Upon his death the Newson family established the Henry W. Newson Lecture Series Fund at Duke University.[7] The university established a Henry Newson Professorship of Physics (currently held by
Haiyan Gao).[10] Henry Newson was survived by his widow, two daughters, and six grandchildren.[1]
