    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES E LI KENNERLY M A R S H A L L , J R. 1889—1966 A Biographical Memoir by THOMAS H. MAREN Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1987 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ELI KENNERLY MARSHALL, JR. May 2, 1889-January 10, 1966 BY THOMAS H. MAREN HE IDEAS AND iDEALS of the nineteenth century are Tembodied in many men and women born in late Victo- rian times, and so live on to the present. In this tradition was Eli Kennedy Marshall, Jr., who served the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine for thirty-five years, first as professor of physiology, then of pharmacology and experi- mental therapeutics. Now near the end of our own century, it is fitting to review and celebrate the life of a scientist who made giant strides toward the twenty-first. Marshall was born in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 2, 1889. His father's family came from England in the early part of the century. His paternal grandmother, Susan, was the daughter of Eli Kennerly, a Virginian who migrated to South Carolina. His mother's family was more varied. One side of her family was English—his merchant grandfather (Brown) was a descendant of the Rev. Samuel Andrew, a founder of Yale, and George Treat, one-time governor of Connecticut. His maternal grandmother (Beckmann) ap- peared more exotic; Marshall's notes say her family included members of German, French, and Russian descent.

Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1978 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. DETLEV WULF BRONK August 13,189/'-November 17,1975 BY FRANK BRINK, JR. ETLEV WULF BRONK was born in 1897 in New York City, D where his father, Mitchell Bronk, was pastor of the Ascen- sion Baptist Church at 160th Street and Park Avenue. Det received his unusual Christian names through his mother, Marie Wulf, whose father was Detlev Wulf, a businessman in New York City. The family moved to Bayonne, New Jersey in 1900, where his sister, Isabelle, was born in 1903. His later youth (1912-1919) was spent in Troy, New York in the same region of the state where his forebears had lived for many years. Detlev Bronk is a direct descendant of Mattheus Brunck, a "smith" from the Rhenish Palatinate, who came to West Camp, on the Hud- son River, in 1710. A grandson of Mattheus, Abraham, settled about 1797 on a farm near Duanesburg, Schenectady county, which became known as "the Bronk Place." Det's grandfather, Abram Bronk, grew up in Florida, New York. In nearby Man- chester lived Cynthia Brewster, a descendant of the Elder William Brewster of the Mayflower Colony. Abram and Cynthia were married in 1856 after a prolonged courtship, much of it carried on by letter via packets to and from California.

  • Allaback National Historic Landmark Final Report
    ESSAYS ON MODERN ARCHITECTURE For the National Historic Landmark Program Introduction Chronology Essays 1. The Skyscraper 2. The Modern House 3. Modern Religious Architecture 4. The Modern College Campus and Modern Buildings on Campus 5. Modern Art Museums Architect Lists Sarah Allaback, Ph.D. Amherst, Massachusetts April 2, 2003 INTRODUCTION The following essays and lists of architects are intended to further the study of modern buildings that may qualify as National Historic Landmarks. The buildings are organized by type and evaluated in terms of architectural significance. American architects began to experiment with styles beyond the traditional neoclassical in the early nineteenth century. Styles were chosen for their historical associations and the buildings were considered architecturally pure versions of the past. By the end of the century, architects felt free to combine styles in an “eclectic” manner, without such concern for stylistic origins. New technologies and building materials encouraged this emerging experimentation. If this was all modern, however, it was certainly not “modernism.” When European modernism arrived in the United States in the 1920s no one could mistake it for anything that went before. Historians quickly labeled this early phase of modern architecture the International Style. It was short-lived. The white, geometric forms were too bleak for Americans, especially since they came without the social meaning of their European counterparts. The International Style was imported to the United States, but its early development was not without American influence. As European architects began experimenting in wild new forms of architecture, materials and forms, they studied the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright, whose work had been published in portfolios by 1910.

CDT, MONDAY, JUNE 14, 2021 UNIVERSITY SEAL AND MOTTO Soon after Northwestern University was founded, its Board of Trustees adopted an official corporate seal. This seal, approved on June 26, 1856, consisted of an open book surrounded by rays of light and circled by the words North western University, Evanston, Illinois. Thirty years later Daniel Bonbright, professor of Latin and a member of Northwestern’s original faculty, redesigned the seal, Whatsoever things are true, retaining the book and light rays and adding two quotations. whatsoever things are honest, On the pages of the open book he placed a Greek quotation from the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 14, translating to The Word . whatsoever things are just, full of grace and truth. Circling the book are the first three whatsoever things are pure, words, in Latin, of the University motto: Quaecumque sunt vera whatsoever things are lovely, (What soever things are true). The outer border of the seal carries the name of the University and the date of its founding. This seal, whatsoever things are of good report; which remains Northwestern’s official signature, was approved by if there be any virtue, the Board of Trustees on December 5, 1890. and if there be any praise, The full text of the University motto, adopted on June 17, 1890, is think on these things. from the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8 (King James Version).

  • The American Clinical and Climatological Association: 1884
    Appendix A SECRETARY-TREASURERS OF THE ASSOCIATION From the early days of the Climatological, the office of Secretary­ Treasurer has been the key to the organization's success. The holder of this important position provides the continuity without which an asso­ ciation of this nature could not function effectively. It thus seems fitting to recognize the important service done by those who have held this office, by presenting a biographical sketch of each incumbent. (Years indicate period office was held.) JAMES BAYNES WALKER 1884-1895 James Baynes Walker, M.D., Ph.D.l was born in Whitpain, near Valley Forge, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in 1846. His early years were spent on the farm where he was born. In 1862, he was graduated from the Friend's Central High School in Philadelphia and received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1872. The next year he was elected intern in the Philadelphia General Hospital (Blockley), where he served with distinction. In 1874, after the required study, he presented a thesis and successfully passed the examination for the degree of doctor of philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania. In 1880, he was elected visiting physician to the Philadelphia General Hospital. He was a member of the Union League of Philadelphia, a fellow of the American Academy of Medicine, and of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Walker held the position of secretary for the first ten years in the life of the Association. He attended all 28 meetings from that time until his death, with the exception ofthree. He contributed 22 times to its activities by presenting a paper or discussing one.

  • The Twentieth Century
    The Twentieth Century This is the university that added to its traditional curriculum such subjects as applied mathematics, foreign languages, political science and economics­ all very new at the time. This is the university that introduced multidisciplinary education well before the term was even invented. This is the university that established the country's first school of medicine, then realized that theory could not be separated from practice and consequently developed the system of the teaching hospital now in general use. For all these reasons the University of Pennsylvania has been a true pioneer, and as we look back today, it is virtually impossible for us to estimate the contribution this institution has made to free intellectual development.
