PREFACE
The Biographical Memoirs is a series of volumes containing
the biographies of deceased members of the National Academy
of Sciences and bibliographies of their published scientific
works. Each biographical essay has been written by a fellow
member of the Academy familiar with the professional career
of the deceased, with only occasional exceptions. These vol-
umes, therefore, provide a record of the lives and work of some
of the most distinguished leaders of American science as wit-
nessed and interpreted by their colleagues and peers.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, honorary
organization of scientists and engineers elected on the basis of
outstanding contributions to knowledge. Established by a Con-
gressional Act of Incorporation on March 3, 1863, and sup-
ported by private and public funds, the Academy works to
further science and its use for the general welfare by bringing
together the most qualified individuals to deal with scientific
and technological problems of broad significance.
