The National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by Act of Con-
gress as a private, nonprofit, self-governing membership corporation for
the furtherance of science and technology, required to advise the federal
government upon request within its fields of competence. Under its cor-
porate charter the Academy established the National Research Council in
1916, the National Academy of Engineering in 1964, and the Institute of
Medicine in 1970.

PREFACE
The Biographical Memoirs is a series of volumes, beginning in
IS77, containing the biographies of (lecease(1 members of the
National Academy of Sciences and bibliographies of their
published scientific contributions. The goal of the Academy
is to have these memoirs serve as a contribution toward the
history of American science. Each biographical essay is writ-
ten by an individual familiar with the discipline and the scien-
tific career of the cleceased. These volumes, therefore, pro-
vide a record of the lives and works of some of the most
clistinguishect leaders of American science as witnessed and
interpreted by their colleagues and peers. Though the pri-
mary concern is the members' professional lives and contri-
butions, these memoirs also inclucle those aspects of their
lives in their home, school, college, or later life that lecl them
. . . ,`
to t nelr sclentlhc career.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, honorary
organization of scientists and engineers elected on the basis
of outstanding contributions to knowledge. EstablishecT by a
Congressional Act of Incorporation on March 3, 1863, the
Academy works to further science and its use for the general
welfare by bringing together the most qualified individuals
to clear with scientific and technological problems of broad
. ,~
slgnlncance.
