FOREWORD
TH ~ S F ~ R S T V O ~ U M E O F Memorial Tributes issued by the National
Academy of Engineering covers the period from the beginning of
the NAE in December 1964 through December 1978. It is the first
edition of what is expected to be a series of such volumes to be
published periodically honoring the deceased members and
foreign associates of the Academy. Publication of this first volume
of NAE Memorial Tributes contributes to the observance of the
fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the NAE; this is considered
especially fitting, as many of the distinguished engineers who are
honored in this volume were associated with the Academy during
its early formative years. It is intended that this and succeeding
volumes will stand as an enduring record of the many contributions
of engineering to the benefit of mankind. In each case, the authors
of the tributes had a personal knowledge of the interests and
engineering accomplishments of the deceased members and
r · .
foreign associates.
The National Academy of Engineering is a private organization
established in 1964 to share in the responsibility given the National
Academy of Sciences under its Congressional Charter signed by
President Lincoln 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 contributions to engineering theory and prac-
tice and to the literature of engineering or demonstrated unusual
accomplishments in the pioneering of new and developing fields of
technology.
