According to Waugh's biography his thesis supervisor was probably A. A. Noyes. However, no acknowledgement or other indication appears in Yost’s thesis, which consists only of reprints of his four papers published in 1926 under a cover page with the title ‘The Mechanisms and Rates of Certain Oxidation-Reduction Reactions in Aqueous Solution. The Existence of Trivalent Silver.’
In the first of those papers Noyes is acknowledged as follows: I am deeply indebted to Professor A. A. Noyes for his assistance and advice. and in the second paper: I wish to acknowledge my appreciation of the advice and criticism given by Professor A. A. Noyes., see
