strange. I will copy and paste: 
I am very pleased to have this opportunity to recommend Alexa Staley to you. I first met her as one of the 
outstanding students in my class, Physics 104: Introductory Physics II, in her first year at Bowdoin. Since that time I have 
had the pleasure of watching her develop into a dedicated researcher and leader of our senior class physics students. Her 
strength of purpose and active intelligence are notable among our majors. 
Alexa is quite serious about physics and began taking courses at the 300 level (namely, Methods of Theoretical 
Physics, the watershed courses in our sequence for students that intend graduate study in physics) in the fall of her 
sophomore year. Doing so opened doors to upper level theoretical courses that otherwise might have been blocked by 
her study away semester because of course sequencing issues. Her strong performance in both 200 and 300 level course 
work led to the award of the Hall Prize, our "most promising sophomore" prize, named for Bowdoin graduate and 
discoverer of the eponymous effect, Edwin Herbert Hall. 
In the spring of her sophomore year Alexa was a student in my Statistical Mechanics course, Physics 229. This 
course has the reputation of being one of the more challenging in our major sequence and is often put off until junior or 
senior years. For many students, the concepts of statistical mechanics are elusively abstract and the mathematical 
reasoning strangely different from other physics applications. Alexa's previous exposure to advanced mathematical 
methods was a clear asset. Her weakness, which is common to sophomores in the class, was a lack of experience with 
the applied problem solving strategies necessary for the wide variety of examples used to illustrate statistical methods. 
In spite of this, Alexa demonstrated a good, clear grasp of essential elements of the problems and would clearly 
communicate her ideas and questions in class and in private discussion. Her submitted solutions were always exemplary. 
Her A- reflects excellent mastery of the course material and steadily growing sophistication as a problem solver. 
As Departmental Chair, I consulted closely with Alexa about her course choices for her junior semester away at 
the University of Otago in New Zealand. She was highly committed to the adventure of exploring another culture, but 
determined not to sacrifice her academic priorities. Thus, she deliberately chose to visit an English speaking country 
where advanced course work in Physics could be part of her program. We discussed the difference in course levels 
carefully, but for a variety of reasons, she ultimately chose an upper level Quantum and Atomic Physics course for which 
she had insufficient background. In response, she dove in and taught herself the material in the first few chapters of 
Griffiths' Quantum Mechanics textbook in a matter of weeks. Although her own report of this daunting experience tends 
to minimize her level of mastery, I cannot name more than a handful of studentsill in my 15 years of teaching at Bowdoin 
that would embrace and excel at this challenge the way that Alexa did. Her unbending commitment to "catching up" and 
not dropping into a lower level course for review is a symptom of both her intellectual ambition and her work ethic. She 
has talent, works hard, and earns her success. I am sure that my colleague, Thomas Baumgarte, who has supervised her 
senior honors thesis, will provide additional examples of her independence and drive. They have been distinguishing 
characteristics of her work. 
In summary, Alexa will bring an unusual degree of commitment and excellent preparation for graduate work in

physics to your program. She has more than the necessary talent, initiative and ambition to succeed in a research 
intensive program. I give her my highest recommendation: She will be an excellent sdentist.
