CONTENTS
FOREWORD
T HIS IS THE THIRTEENTH VOLUME i n the series of M emorial
Tributes compiled by the National Academy of Engineering
as a personal remembrance of the lives and outstanding
achievements of its members and foreign associates. These
volumes are intended to stand as an enduring record of
the many contributions of engineers and engineering to
the benefit of humankind. In most cases, the authors of
the tributes are contemporaries or colleagues who had
personal knowledge of the interests and the engineering
accomplishments of the deceased.
Through its members and foreign associates, the
Academy carries out the responsibilities for which it was
established in 1964. Under the charter of the National
Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering
was formed as a parallel organization of outstanding
engineers. Members are elected on the basis of significant
contributions to engineering theory and practice and to the
literature of engineering or on the basis of demonstrated
unusual accomplishments in the pioneering of new and
developing fields of technology.
The National Academies share a responsibility to advise
the federal government on matters of science and technology.
The expertise and credibility that the National Academy
of Engineering brings to that task stem directly from the
abilities, interests, and achievements of our members and
foreign associates, our colleagues and friends, whose special
gifts we remember in these pages.
Thomas F. Budinger
Home Secretary
