Each biographical essay is writ- ten by an indiviclual familiar with the discipline and the scien- tific career of the deceased. These volumes, therefore, pro- vide a record of the lives and works of some of the most distinguished leaclers of American science as witnessed and interpreter! by their colleagues ant! peers. Though the pri- mary concern is the members' professional lives and contri- butions, these memoirs also inclucle those aspects of their lives in their home, school, college, or later life that led them . · · ~ to their sclentluc career. The National Academy of Sciences is a private, honorary organization of scientists and engineers electect on the basis of outstanding contributions to knowlecige. Established by a Congressional Act of Incorporation on March 3, 1863, the Academy works to further science and its use for the general welfare by bringing together the most qualified indivicluals to clear with scientific and technological problems of broach . · ~ slgnlucance.
