Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1962 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. GILBERT MORGAN SMITH January 6, i88$-]uly n, BY IRA L. WIGGINS /"T~<HE DEATH OF GILBERT MORGAN SMITH on July ii, 1959 removed JL from the ranks of leading American botanists a man who had written four reference books on cryptogamic botany, who had been one of six authors responsible for the successful "Wisconsin Text- book" of botany that went through four additional editions largely under his supervision, and who had served as a highly esteemed teacher of botany at two American universities and at the summer schools of several others. His books, and a number of technical papers, have been used by thousands of undergraduate and advanced students in botany, and owing to his accuracy and concise style, will continue to serve the science of botany for many years. Nor did Gilbert Morgan Smith cease to carry on his observations and research when he retired from active teaching at Stanford Uni- versity in 1950. He worked systematically and efficiently in his labora- tory and the library until his failing health forced him into a hospital bed, from which he telephoned directions to his research assistant almost to the day he passed away.

  • Memorial Resolution Gilbert Morgan Smith
    MEMORIAL RESOLUTION GILBERT MORGAN SMITH (1885 – 1959) Gilbert Morgan Smith was born in Beloit, Wisconsin on January 6, 1885. After graduating from Beloit College in 1907, he taught science in high school at Stoughton, Wisconsin for a year before beginning Graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin. He interrupted his studies for a year to serve as Instructor in Botany at Pomona College in 1910-11. He obtained his Ph.D. from Wisconsin in 1913 and was married that same year to Helen Pfuderer who shared his career from that time on. He remained in the Botany Department at the University of Wisconsin and moved steadily upward in rank from instructor (1912-17) to assistant professor (1917-19) and associate professor (1919-25). He was invited to Stanford University for the autumn quarter of 1923-24, and in September, 1925 he succeeded Douglas Houghton Campbell as Professor of Botany. He became Emeritus Professor of Biology (Botany) in 1950, but remained active scientifically until he died on July 11, 1959. G. M. Smith's scholarly output was impressive. Although he was the author of over 40 original contributions, some of which -- like the "Phyto-plankton of the Inland Lakes of Wisconsin"--were lengthy monographs, he was best known for his books, particularly the "Freshwater Algae of the United States," the "Marine Algae of the Monterey Peninsula" and the two volumes of "Cryptogamic Botany." The latter is a scholarly and comprehensive book that is used as a text and reference work for advanced botany courses throughout the English-speaking world. Dr. Smith's research was accomplished by meticulous organization, efficiency, and self- discipline.

HAROLD CHARLES BOLD January 16, 1909–December 18, 1987 Elected to the NAS, 1973 Harold C. Bold, the C. L. Lundell Professor Emeritus of Systematic Botany at the University of Texas at Austin, died December 18, 1987. He was widely known for estab- lishing the classification system and systematics for green soil algae (Tetrasporales, Chlorococcales, Chlorosphae- rales). His research and that of his students showed that 1) virtually every soil, when moistened and placed in light, produces living algal taxa that grow and multiply; and 2) soil algae are structurally simple (unicells, colo- nies, coenobes) but have great diversity in cell form and reproduction, with complicated life cycles that can only be revealed through culturing and detailed microscopic study. Harold discovered that many features differentiate green soil algal taxa, such as cell size and shape, chloro- By Bruce C. Parker plast number and shape, presence of a pyrenoid, the mode and R.

The foundation in this area that Harold laid down over more than three decades represents a major breakthrough in the field of phycology, remains essentially unchanged today, and appears well supported by modern molecular phylogenetic approaches.
