FOREWORD
THIS IS THE FOURTH VOLUME in the series of Memorial Tom
utes issued periodically by the National Academy of Engineer-
ing to honor the deceased members and foreign associates of
the Academy and to recognize their achievements. Publica-
tion of this volume marks the conclusion of the observance of
the twenty-fifth anniversary year of the NAE. It is intended
that these volumes will stand as an enduring record of the
many contributions of engineers and engineering to the ben-
efit of humankind. In almost all cases, the authors of the
tributes are contemporaries or colleagues who had personal
knowledge of the interests and engineering accomplishments
of the deceased members and foreign associates.
The National Academy of Engineering is a private organi-
zation established in 1964 to share in the responsibility given
the National Academy of Sciences under its congressional charter
signed by President LincoIn in 1863 to examine and report
on questions of science and engineering at the request of the
federal government. Individuals are elected to the National
Academy of Engineering on the basis of significant contribu-
tions to engineering theory and practice and to the literature
of engineering or demonstrated unusual accomplishments in
the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology.
Alexander H. Flax
Home Secretary
