FOREWORD
THIS IS THE THIRD VOLUME in the series of Memorial
Tributes issued periodically by the National Academy of En-
gineering to honor the cleceasecl members ant! foreign asso-
ciates of the Academy. Publication of this volume contributes
to the observance of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
founding of the NAE on December 5, 1964. It is intended
that these volumes will stanct as an enduring record of the
many contributions of engineering to the benefit of human-
kind. In all cases, the authors of the tributes tract personal
knowlecige of the interests and engineering accomplish-
ments of the deceased members and foreign associates.
The National Academy of Engineering is a private orga-
nization established in 1964 to share in the responsibility
given the National Academy of Sciences under its congres-
sional charter signed by President LincoIn in IS63 to exam-
ine and report on questions of science ancT engineering at the
request of the federal government. Individuals are electect to
the National Academy of Engineering on the basis of signif-
icant contributions to engineering theory and practice and to
the literature of engineering or demonstrated unusual ac-
complishments in the pioneering of new and developing
fields of technology.
