HILL 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 1985 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. PHILIP HANDLER August 13, 1917-December 29, 1981 BY EMIL L. SMITH AND ROBERT L. HILL HILIP HANDLER was the eighteenth president of the PNational Academy of Sciences and served two consecu- tive six-year terms from 1969 to 1981. His tenure was marked by a rapid growth of the Academy and by a great expansion and reorganization of the work of the National Research Council. It was also a period of controversy and political turbulence in the nation, and the role of the Academy in public affairs increased considerably. The work and character of the Academy will likely long be influenced by the many changes that occurred in these years. Philip Handler was born in New York City on August 13, 1917, the first child and oldest son of Lena Heisen Handler and Jacob Handler. His mother, one often children, was the daughter of a chicken farmer in Norma, a town in southern New Jersey. The life of his father, who came from central Europe, represented an almost typical American success story of that immigrant generation, and served as an exam- ple to his family of the rewards that come from hard work, self-education, and determination.

Charles E. Bugg
Memoir Charles E. Bugg Preface I am a crystallographer. Although my career has allowed me to enjoy a variety of stimulating ventures in science, technology and business, crystallography has always been the foundation of these activities. Crystallography is an incredible scientific discipline that has directly impacted many areas of chemistry, phys ics and biology. The importance of this field was formally recognized recently by the United Nations, who declared 2014 as the Year of Crystallography. The tremendous impact of crystallography is exemplified by the fact that 27 Nobel Prizes have now been awarded for scientific achievements directly related to, or involving use of, crys tallographic methods and techniques. No other specific scientist discipline has produced such a large number of Nobel Prizes. I have had the joy of interacting closely with several of these Nobel Laureates over the course of my career. I doubt if any other career choice would have pro vided me with such stimulation. In 2014, the Year of Crystallography, I was invited by the American Crystallographic Association (ACA) to write my Memoir, which would be archived in the ACA website that covers the history of crystallography. I ended up going overboard, and including much more detail than will ever be of interest to my crystallographic colleagues, thinking that my grandchildren might someday want to read about the wonderful life that our family was allowed to share through the world of crystallography. Fortunate ly for my crystallography colleagues, the editors of the ACA abstracted relevant sections of my Memoir for publi cation in their quarterly newsletter, "ACA Reflexions", and I have attached the resulting article to my Memoir.
