Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996) Promotion to professor
In 1958 Thomas Kuhn was promoted to associate professor and was given tenure. This was a major mile stone for him due to Stanford refusing to give him tenure in 1956. In the fall of 1958 Kuhn was given a one-year fellowship at Stanford. This promotion was huge because that is where he wrote The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, his most significant work.
