MSS.115 3 Templeton Crocker at the California Academy of Sciences ... Biographical note Charles Templeton Crocker was born September 2, 1884 in San Francisco, California. He graduated from Yale University in 1908. A self-proclaimed explorer, he sailed his yacht Zaca around the world covering 27,152 miles and visiting 50 ports (1930). He made an expedition to the Galapagos Islands and the South Pacific for the California Academy of Sciences (March 1932 – September 1932). A 2,690 foot mountain on Indefatigable Island was named Mount Crocker in honor of his conquest of that peak. Later expeditions included Honolulu, Hawaii with the Bishop Museum (1933), Easter Island for the American Museum of Natural History (1934), Gulf of California for the New York Zoological Society (1936), Hawaii, Tongareva and Samoa for American Museum of Natural History (1936-1937). Crocker received the Ribbon of the Legion of Honor (France, 1926) for his opera “Fey-Yen-Fah”, an adaptation of a play he had written, “Land of Happiness”. He also authored "The Cruise of the Zaca" in 1933. Crocker's memberships include the California Historical Society (president, 1922) to whom he deeded his library in 1940. Many specimens from his expeditions were donated to the Steinhart Aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences. He was a Life Member of the California Academy of Sciences (1911), Patron (1931), Benefactor (1932), Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society; and a member of the American Museum of Natural History, New York Zoological Society, Field Museum, Sons of the American Revolution, and the Native Sons of the Golden West.

I am Kaitlyn Akroush, your chair for this committee. I am currently a second year student at Seton Hall University, double majoring in Diplomacy/International Relations and Philosophy. I am also a member of the Honors Program, the Seton Hall United Nations Association, and Turning Point USA. I have been a part of the Seton Hall United Nations Association since my freshman year and have truly enjoyed every bit of it. I have traveled and attended multiple conferences, participating in both General Assembly and Crisis Committees. This committee in particular is interesting as it will deal with the chaotic circumstances during the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. A long road lies ahead, and there are many issues within the scope of this committee that need to be solved. Theodore Judah, American civil engineer and the central figure in the construction of the railroad has died, and the nation is in the midst of civil war. It is up to America’s remaining engineers to step up and unite the country, both figuratively and literally, all while maintaining positive relationships with Native Americans during the expansion West.

FARMERI, MARIA C. FARMER2 and RAINER BERGER3 ABSTRACT. Extensive eruptions of alkalic basalt from low-elevation fissures and vents on the southern flank of the dormant volcano, Cerro Evermann, accompanied the most recent phase of volcanic activity on Socorro Island, and created 14C the Lomas Coloradas, a broad, gently sloping terrain comprising the southern part of the island. We obtained ages of 4690 ± 270 BP (5000-5700 cal BP) and 5040 ± 460 BP (5300-6300 cal BP) from lacustrine deposits that occur within volcanic sequences of the lower Lomas Coloradas. Apparently, the sediments accumulated within a topographic depression between two scoria cones shortly after they formed. The lacustrine environment was destroyed when the cones were breached by headward erosion of adjacent stream drainages.

  • The Status of Clipperton Atoll Under International Law, and the Right to Fish in Its Surrounding Waters
    .. ~ The Status of Clipperton Atoll Under International Law, and the Right to Fish in Its Surrounding Waters by Jon M. Van Dyke 2515 Dole Street Honolulu, Hawai'i 96822 [email protected] May 15,2006 Introduction. Remote and tiny Clipperton Atoll is 1,120 kilometers southwest of Mexico. 1 Its land area forms a circle with an average width of about 200 meters and a circumference of about 12 kilometers, making up about 1.6 square kilometers of land area. If its stagnant brackish-water interior lagoon is also included it measures about six square kilometers, 12 times larger than the size of The Mall in Washington, D.C? The Atoll had been located earlier by Spanish navigators, but was named after the English pirate John Clipperton who was said to have hidden there in 1705 with 21 other mutineers.3 The French claim of sovereignty over Clipperton is based on a visit to the atoll in November 1858 by the merchant ship L 'Amiral, operated by a French shipowner named Lockhart and carrying the French Lieutenant Victor Ie Coat de Kerveguen who was authorized by Napoleon III to assert sovereignty over guano islands.4 The crew landed, after considerable difficulty, in a small boat, sampled the guano deposits (finding that they were not rich in phosphates), and left no permanent plaque on shore. When L 'Amiral arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii the next month, its crew published a IU.S. Central Intelligence Agency, Clipperton Island in THE WORLD FACTBOOK, <http://www.cia.gov/ciaJpublications/factbookigeos/ip.html> (site visited May 9, 2006).

In historical reality, however, some Western « boosters» made it into the ranks of the national business elite. Thus the promoters of the Central Pacific Railroad, first a small, Sacramento-based railroad company, built the western branch of the first transcontinental railroad and became known as the California “Big Four”.
