Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1961 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. BAILEY WILLIS May 3/, i8^j-February 19,1949 BY ELIOT BLACKWELDER HILE it is not easy to classify as versatile a man as Bailey W Willis, the word explorer fits him best. Although he came too late for the early period of geologic exploration of the western states, he was associated with many of those who had taken part in it, and he grew up with its later stage. The son of a noted poet, it is not strange that he displayed much of the temperament of an artist and that his scientific work should have leaned toward the imaginative and speculative side rather than the rigorously factual. Willis was born on a country estate at Idlewild-on-Hudson in New York, on May 31, 1857. His father, Nathaniel Parker Willis, whose Puritan ancestors settled in Boston in 1630, was well known as a journalist, poet and writer of essays and commentaries; but he died when Bailey was only ten years old. His mother, Cornelia Grinnell Willis, of Quaker ancestry, seems to have been his principal mentor in his youth, inspiring his interest in travel, adventure and explora- tion. At the age of thirteen he was taken to England and Germany for four years of schooling.

He inherited the spirit; his environment gave the motive; he achieved the career by virtue of his physical endowment, his high courage, and his mental and moral fitness. His interest in geology was• first aroused by his mother, an unusually gifted woman, and was fixed by early incidental opportunities for ob- servations in'Germany and Corsica, followed by a chance meeting with the German geologist, Noeggeratli, which led to his going to the mining school at Freiberg. He used his profession of mining engineer, but never devoted himself to it. He served his adopted science, geology, but not exclusively; yet his contributions to its principles and knowledge remain unchallenged after thirty to fifty years of later intensive research along the same lines. He cherished for forty years a dream of carrying out investigations in the archeology and ethnology of the Asiatic and European races and at the age of three score and ten realized it with that same thoroughness and devotion to truth which characterized all of his scientific studies.
