Tony Silvidi was a Professor of Physics from 1952 to 1982, and after formally retiring he continued to teach for an additional ten years. He was one of the architects of today's KSU Department of Physics, and played a key role in establishing us as a premier research intensive department. Tony lost his battle with cancer in Spring 2011, but before he passed he created this legacy gift to help young persons succeed in both the field of knowledge and the department that meant so much to him.
