We are sad to bid farewell to outgoing Chair, Dave Bercovici, but are truly grateful for his inspirational leadership over the past six years. We wish Dave all the best as he takes a much- deserved one-year leave, and Peabody Museum Installs a “Cretaceous look forward to his return to Garden” daily departmental life in 2013. Thanks Dave!

The label for each species of plant features an illustration of its fossil precursor, a short discussion of the geological history of the lineage, and some information about its present distribution and conservation status. Unfortunately, some of these plants, whose ancestors survived the asteroid impact that exterminated the dinosaurs and much of the rest of Cretaceous life, are critically endangered in our modern world.

REDFIELD ENRY BRYANT BIGELOW was an accomplished systematic zool- H ogist, being a recognized authority on both the coelenter- ates and fishes. His 1911 paper on the siphonophores was considered to be the most useful report on this group that had ever been written. In recognition of his later work on the fishes of the western North Atlantic he was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal by the National Academy of Sciences in 1948. Of wider impact on the development of marine science was his recognition of the interdependence of the physics, chem- istry, and biology of the sea, as exemplified by his studies of the Gulf of Maine and his part in the creation of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, of which he was the first director. Seventy-five years ago, when Alexander Agassiz visited the Maldive Islands with Henry Bigelow as his assistant, oceanog- raphy in America was an interest promoted from time to time through individual initiative and, when in line with their pri- mary duties, by appropriate governmental agencies.

Carpenter ’54 heir histories are as much a part of the College as they are of 19th-century America—fi ve brothers of the Field family who held among them a total of 10 academic and honorary degrees from Williams. They were an accomplished group that included a prominent lawyer who codifi ed the laws of states and nations, a four-term senator in the Massachusetts State Legislature and its president for three years, a U.S. Supreme Court justice, a minister who traveled the world speaking and writing about his experiences for a national audience and a fi nancier and entrepreneur who successfully connected America and England with the fi rst telegraph cable across the Atlantic. Many of their descendents also would attend Williams, including one today who is a member of the Class of 2008. The family planted its roots in America in 1632 with the arrival of Zechariah Field, who emigrated from England and settled outside Boston. Zechariah helped to found Hartford, Conn., in 1639 and 20 years later traveled up the Connecticut River Valley, settling in Northampton and Hatfi eld, Mass.

    Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California, San Diego La Jolla, California 92093 Scripps Stories: DAYS TO REMEMBER In celebration of 90 years Edited by Kittie Kerr Kuhns and Betty Shor 1 October 1993 SIO Reference Number 93-35 The cover photo is Scripps circa 1940. Cover design: Steven Cook Stories were solicited from Scripps alumni and past and present Scripps employees to honor the 90th anniversary of Scripps. To obtain copies of this publication please write to: Kittie Kuhns Technical Publications 0233B Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California, San Diego 9500 Gilman Drive La Jolla, California 93093-0233 2 INTRODUCTION It is not easy to define Scripps Institution of Oceanography, but it has seemed through the years that its staff and students have always been like a family. To acknowledge the institution’s 90th year we asked for reminiscences and, to our gratification, a great many were sent to us. They recall people and moments as far back as the 1930s and as recent as the 1980s. There is strong support given by the Scripps community to individuals during times of adversity. When good news arrives, joy spreads, and a celebration is in order. We see from these stories that this is a long held tradition. This community feeling is what makes Scripps special. Not only is it a great center of research and learning, Scripps Institution is a family. Some start their careers here and some end them here, but it is the love and caring that make Scripps unique. As editors we have chosen to arrange this collection as close to chronology as is convenient.

  • Cyrus West Field: Breaking Barriers in Intercontinental Communication
    Cyrus West Field: Breaking Barriers in Intercontinental Communication with the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable Cameron Blair, Brayden Sparks, Elijah Bandy Junior Division Group Website Process Paper: 410 words Blair, Sparks, Bandy 1 When we started thinking about ideas for NHD, we were pretty sure we wanted a technology-focused topic. Our research led us to learn about the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable. We thought it was interesting that instead of being just a brand-new technology, it greatly enhanced an older one. It worked with the telegraph to send long-distance messages across the Atlantic Ocean. After we researched it more, we decided we wanted it to be our topic for NHD since it broke barriers in intercontinental communication. When we first started researching the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable, we began with general but trustworthy sources to understand the topic as a whole. Overall, the the Library of Congress website helped the most, especially by providing most of our primary source images. Another useful website we used was called Atlantic-Cable, it gave a lot of primary sources, and first-hand accounts of the process and creation of the cable. We decided to do a website as our category since two of us had already created a website for NHD last year. When we did it before, we really enjoyed researching and constructing a website, so we wanted to try again. However, when we tried out the new website platform, we found out that NHDWebCentral was more difficult to use than Weebly was last year. We just took things slowly Blair, Sparks, Bandy 2 and spent a lot of time trying to master it.

Educated first at home, then spending four years of secondary school in Bienne, he completed his elementary studies in Lausanne. Having adopted medicine as his profession, he studied successively at the universities of Zürich, Heidelberg and Munich; while there he extended his knowledge of natural history, especially of botany. In 1829 he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Erlangen, and in 1830 that of doctor of medicine at Munich. Moving to Paris he fell under the tutelage of Alexander von Humboldt and Georges Cuvier, who launched him on his careers of geology and zoology respectively. Until shortly before this time he had paid no special attention to the study of ichthyology, which soon afterwards became the great occupation of his life, if not the one for which he is most remembered in the modern day.

Appendix: Petition to Annexation into Wayzata, 1956… 44 INTRODUCTION THE HISTORY OF BUSHAWAY ROAD AND ITS NEIGHBORHOOD documents the early history of the road and settlement of the neighborhood. The research was conducted and prepared by Irene Stemmer, of the Wayzata Heritage Preservation Board (HPB)1 as a means of preserving the history of the Bushaway Road and its neighborhood. We began with a history of the road. Thanks to Nancy Kehmeier, who located the original 1858 surveyor’s map of the “Shakopee to Dayton” road, we knew in 2008 that County Road 101 (Bushaway Road) was a 150 year old road. Unfortunately, just being 150 years old was not enough. Historian Bob Frame of Mead & Hunt reviewed the history of the road and deemed it ineligible for consideration as a “historic road” due to the changes over the years to the surface. So we stopped the presses and celebrated our 150 year old road.2 The next step was to document the history of the neighborhood. The Bushaway and West Holdridge land was annexed to Wayzata in 1956 which was after many of the early histories were written about our city, so where do you start? The starting point became the “Architectural History Evaluation of Locust Hills Estate by Andrew J.
