    Wolman (M. Gordon) 1924-2010 Papers 1913-2011 MS 554 Extent: 60 record center boxes 1 document box 2 oversize boxes Location: Rare Books and Manuscripts Sheridan Libraries Johns Hopkins University Processed by: Cynthia H. Requardt, May 2011 Provenance The papers were donated by the Wolman family in 2011. The papers had been collected from Wolman’s campus office in Ames Hall, several departmental storage areas, and his home. Biographical Sketch Markley Gordon Wolman was geomorphologist whose passion for his discipline, dedication to his work, and his uniquely creative ways of looking at problems, resulted in a wide-ranging career. According to the National Academy of Sciences memoir, he will be remembered for a career based on research and teaching methods that applied Earth science to questions of environmental management and public policy.1 Among the many hats he wore were scientist, environmental activist, teacher and mentor, university administrator, and government advisor on the local, state, national and international level. For a chronology of Wolman’s career, consult his curriculum vita in box 59. Wolman was born in 1924 in Baltimore the son of Anne and Abel Wolman. His father was a sanitary engineer whose accomplishments ranged from developing chlorinated water, to designing water supply systems for cities throughout the world, to advising on the safe use of nuclear power. The younger Wolman, known throughout his life as Reds, attended the Park School in Baltimore graduating in 1942. He began his college career at Haverford College, but left to join the U.S. Naval Reserves after his first semester. When discharged in 1946, Wolman enrolled at the Johns Hopkins University where his father was in the Department of Sanitary Engineering.
