Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1952 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. WILLIAM ALBERT NOYES1 BY ROGER ADAMS William Albert Noyes was born November 6, 1857 on a farm near Independence, Iowa. He was the seventh generation of the Noyes family in America, being descended from Nicholas Noyes who came with his elder brother, James, from Choulder- ton, Wiltshire, in 1633. Their father had been a clergyman but had died before the sons left England. The two brothers settled first in Medford, Massachusetts but in 1655 moved to Newbury. Samuel, of the third generation in this direct line, moved to Abington about 1713 and there he and the succeeding generations lived for over one hundred and forty years. Spencer W. Noyes, the great grandson of Samuel, was ad- mitted as a student to Phillips Academy at Andover, Massachu- setts, March 21, 1837. He married Mary Packard-related to the famous family of shoe manufacturers-and they had three children when they left: Abington and migrated to Iowa in 185j. When the father with his family went west to open up a home- stead, he found conditions typical of the prairies and life was necessarily primitive. In the east he had been a cobbler by trade so had had little experience working the land. The early years were difficult ones because of the hard work in establishing a farm home, getting land into cultivation, raising food and storing sufficient for winter needs.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1960 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. JOHN ULRIC NEF' June 14,1862-August 13,1915 BY MELVILLE L. WOLFROM OHN ULRIC NEF was a great pioneer in American chemistry. It was J he, along with Arthur Michael and Ira Remsen, who was mainly responsible for the transfer to the universities of the United States of the tenets of the actively growing science of organic chemistry from the laboratories of the great European universities of the time. Nef was a pioneer in theoretical organic chemistry, a great experimental- ist, and an inspiring trainer of men. His advanced students, the Ph.D. trainees, went into positions in the American universities, and espe- cially in the Middle West, determined to carry on the tradition of research. In the words of one: "We were determined to keep some research going if it were only to boil water." This establishment of chemical research in the American universities was carried out under the most difficult of conditions and with little support or understand- ing on the part of the administrators of these growing institutions, who mainly considered the science departments, in the liberal arts colleges, as units which cost a lot of money and produced results of doubtful cultural value.
