Abstract Chauncy Dennison Harris (1914-2003) received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1940 and spent the entirety of his academic career with the University's Department of Geography. A pioneer in the field of Slavic Studies, Harris specialized in the geography of the Soviet Union, though was equally well-known for his work in the field of urban geography. Well-respected as a scholar, Harris had contacts with academics all over the world, published widely, and played an important role in the development of American scholarly interest in the Soviet Union. The Chauncy Harris Papers cover many different aspects of Harris' professional career - administrative posts at the University of Chicago, involvement with numerous geographical and academic organizations, scholarly writings and research, teaching materials, extensive correspondence, and academic exchanges with Soviet scholars.

Harper Distinguished Service Professor. From 1984 until his death in 2003, Harris remained active within the department as Professor Emeritus. Born into an academic family in Logan, Utah, Harris quickly developed a taste for geography. His father, who held a Ph.D. in agronomy from Cornell University and taught at the Utah Agricultural College (now Utah State University), encouraged the young Harris to pursue his interest. Indeed, at the end of the second grade, Harris declared to his family that he was going to become a geographer. Having earned a B.A. in Geography from Brigham Young University in 1933, Harris traveled as a Rhodes Scholar to Oxford, where he completed a second B.A. as well as a Master's Degree. He also took an M.A. from the London School of Economics before returning to the United States, where he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago in 1940. His dissertation was entitled, "Salt Lake City - a Regional Capital in 1940." Shortly after joining the faculty of his Alma Mater in 1943, Harris was called to military service with the U.S. Department of State, Office of the Geographer. Enlisted in part for his knowledge of German and French, Harris worked as a strategic maps specialist. It was in this capacity, that he developed an avid interest in Russian geography. Over the course of his career, Harris published extensively on both Soviet and post-Soviet geography. Between his seminal works in the field of American urban geography ("The Nature of Cities" and "A Functional Classification of Cities in the United States") and his work on the Soviet Union, Harris quickly made his mark as one of the world's foremost urban geographers. He also made significant contributions to the geographical study of ethnicity, particularly within the context of non-Russian minorities living within the Soviet Union. Harris traveled regularly to the Soviet Union throughout his career and helped to organise a number of academic exchanges between the United States and the Soviet Union. Harris was a member of the Association of American Geographers and served its president from 1957 to 1958. Well known internationally, Harris was an honorary member of several foreign geographical associations - the Royal Geographical Society of London, as well as the geographical societies of Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin, Florence, Rome, Belgrade, Warsaw, and Japan. He was also a foreign member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Recognized worldwide for his contributions to the study of Geography, Harris was granted several honorary degrees and received many awards, including the Alexander von Humboldt Gold Medal of the Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin, the Cullum Medal of the American Geographical Society, the Victoria Medal of the Royal Geographical Society, the Alexander Csoma de Körösi Memorial Medal of the Hungarian Geographical Society, and the Honors Award of the Association of American Geographers. 6 Chauncy Harris

  • OBITUARY Chauncy D. Harris, 1914-2003
    OBITUARY Chauncy D. Harris, 1914-2003 If any person could rightly be said to be the "dean" of geographic studies of the Soviet Union in the United States, that person would be Chauncy Dennison Harris. Retired as the Samuel N. Harper Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, Chauncy died on 26 December 2003 at his home in the Hyde Park neighborhood of that city. He is survived by his wife of many years, Edith, a daughter, Margaret, and many other relatives. His contributions to Russian and Soviet studies and to the discipline of geography were both wide and deep, and he was a great friend and a mentor to many. Chauncy Harris was born in Logan, Utah, and spent his youth in that state, the son of a distinguished professor of agronomy at the institution that became Utah State Univer­ sity who was later president of Brigham Young University. After graduation from BYU (as valedictorian) in 1933 and a brief stay at the University of Chicago, the young Harris went to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar for a second BA and then on to the London School of Eco­ nomics for an MA. Returning to Chicago to pursue the PhD, Chauncy took up the study of urban geography, that branch of the discipline in which he would make his mark. His huge contributions to that field have been eloquently described elsewhere as includ­ ing not only his extensive research record but also his sponsorship of younger scholars, both having been defining aspects of his career (Brian J.

  • Reading the Reception of Ellen Churchill Semple's Influences Of
    Reading the reception of Ellen Churchill Semple’s Influences of geographic environment (1911) Innes M. Keighren Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2007 Abstract This is a thesis in the historical geography of textual reception and meaning. Its focus is Influences of geographic environment (1911), by American geographer Ellen Churchill Semple (1861–1932). Semple’s book, a treatise on environmentalism, coincided with the emergence of geography in North America and Britain as an independent academic discipline, and it exerted an important but varied influence on generations of geographers. For those who considered it a monument to Semple’s scholarship and erudition, it was a timely manifesto for a scientific approach to geographical research. For others, Influences was conceptually flawed—a text which might damage geography’s emergent academic legitimacy and disciplinary credibility. Accepted by some, repudiated by others, Influences was lauded and criticized in almost equal measure. By attention to archival records, personal correspondence, published reviews, provenance, and marginalia—the material traces of its reading—the thesis examines the different reactions to Influences , and shows that it is possible to trace a geography of the book’s reception: to identify why it was encountered differently by different people, at different times and in different places. Informed by work in literary theory, book history, and the history of science, this thesis outlines the contribution that geography, or a geographical sensibility, can make to understanding the way knowledge and ideas in the guise of the printed text are conceived, transmitted, and received. By exploring the particular characteristics of Influences ’ diffusion, the thesis offers a broader perspective on the different means by which scientific knowledge circulates; how its credibility is assessed; and how judgements as to its acceptance or rejection are made.

  • Whither Climatology? Brückner’S Climate Oscillations, Data Debates, and Dynamic Climatology
    History of Meteorology 7 (2015) 49 Whither Climatology? Brückner’s Climate Oscillations, Data Debates, and Dynamic Climatology Philipp N. Lehmann [email protected] Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin In 1890 Eduard Brückner published his major climatological work with the wordy title Climate Oscillations Since 1700, With Remarks About Climate Oscillations Since the Diluvial Epoch.1 The book brought a new impetus to the ongoing debate about climatic changes and variability, which had been a major point of contention in the climatological community throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Brückner’s postulation of periodic and global 35-year climatic cycles made a large and lasting impact. Among many others, Svante Arrhenius discussed the findings; and more than half a century later, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie used Brückner’s data collection as important material for his own work in climate history.2 The research and writing of the book, however, had not been an easy task for Brückner. In the foreword, he professed that the completion of the work “had been forced to be delayed again and again.”3 Even a cursory reading of Climate Oscillations suffices to reveal the likely cause for the difficulties: in order to bolster his claims of persistent universal climatic cycles, Brückner had to cover large evidentiary ground. On the basis of information on glacial 1 Eduard Brückner, Klimaschwankungen seit 1700, nebst Bemerkungen über die Klimaschwankungen der Diluvialzeit, Geographische Abhandlungen 4 (Vienna: Ed.

SPONS AGENCY National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE 65 NOTE 70p.; Geography in Liberal Education Project of the Association of American Geography EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS Area Studies; Basic Skills; Conference Reports; *Educational Objectives; Educational Planning; *Fundamental. Concepts; *General Education; Geographic Concepts; *Geography; Government Role; Guidelines; Liberal Arts; Map Skills; Physical Geography; Teaching Methods; *Undergraduate Study ABSTRACT The guidelines and five papers in this report are intended to define the place and purpose of geography in liberal education and to stimulate future actions to improve the content of college undergraduate courses in geography. Its statements of objectives, suggestions, and recommendations are part of an effort by the geographical profession to strengthen geography within the liberal education field. The guidelines summarize the role of geography as a subject in liberal education, describe its objectives, offer three versions of an introductory course, make suggestions for improving teaching methods and teacher training, and give recommendations for further action..The first article discusses the need to study process in perceiving order within the world's spatial complexities. The second underscores area differentiation as a means of understanding differences and linkages among peoples. The third lends insight into geography's unique use of the map as a method of analysis and expression. The fourth presents the case for a unified view of the elements of physical geography. The last considers the role of geography in government as relating to the general concern of Liberal Arts Colleges with Federal careers and programs.
