Keys, David A. (David Arnold), 1890-1977 : David A. Keys was born in Toronto, the son of Professor D.R. Keys of the University of Toronto. In spite of missing considerable schooling due to illness, he studied for one year in Munich, 1910-1911 under Whilhem Roentgen, the discoverer of X-rays; graduated with a BA (1915) and a MA (1916) from the University of Toronto; and received a MA (1916) and PhD (1920) from Harvard plus another PhD from Cambridge in 1922. During WW I he did research on anti-submarine warfare for the British Admiralty.

Keys began teaching physics at McGill in 1922, eventually becoming Macdonald Professor of Physics 1941-1947. In 1947 he was chosen by C.J. Mackenzie to become the National Research Council Vice-President in charge of the Atomic Energy Project at Chalk River, Ontario. Considerable atomic research was done here as well as the building of Canada's earliest nuclear reactors. From 1955 to 1965 he was Scientific Advisor to the President of Atomic Energy of Canada. After his retirement Keys remained in Deep River until his death on 28 October 1977.

Keys was the author of popular physics textbooks which went through numerous editions: Applied geophysics, College physics and An elementary course in physics as well as lab manuals. He was also the author of numerous scientific and popular articles on geophysics and nuclear research. Keys received many awards and honorary degrees for his scientific contributions.
