In March the Carnegie Corporation of New York made a grant or $100,000 to the Carnegie Institution for the construction of an auditorium at Cold Spring Harbor, to be used jointly by the Biological Laboratory and the Department of Genetics.Later on, the Association received from the Rockefeller Foundation a grant of $45,000 for modernization of the Laboratory's present facilities. The Carnegie Corporation grant should have answered theurgent need for more comfortable quarters for Symposia, conferences, and evening lectures, as well as indoor accommodations for recreational activities; and the Rockefeller Foundation grant should have provided ample funds for modernizing our dining room and residences and improving our grounds. Unfortunately for us, however, the Korean conflict arose, and created condi- tions that have had a tremendous effect on our planning. The auditorium was to have been erected as part of a larger building program involving labora- tories for the Department of Genetics.Since the start of the Korean in- cident, building costs have increased about fifty per cent, and for a time it seemed doubtful that we would be able to go through with our building plans. Just as this report is written, however, the Executive Committee of the Carnegie Institution has approved plans for the construction of the laborator- ies; and it now seems probable that ground will be broken for the new build- ings in the very near future.The Rockefeller grant, also, will not go so far under present circumstances.

    FRANCIS M. CARNEY July 20, 1998

    Transcription of Video Interview with FRANCIS M. CARNEY July 20, 1998 Erickson: Professor Carney, would you tell us where you were born and a little about your family, please? Carney: Yes. I was born in New York City in 1921. That makes me now 76, and I was born in the Bronx. My mother and father and my younger brother and I, (younger brother Matt, younger than I by a little over a year) came out to Los Angeles in 1924. I was not quite three years old. We settled in LA, in Hollywood actually. My mother was working in pictures and my father was a postal worker. They got a divorce about 1927, I think. I lived in North Hollywood and went to public schools in Southern California and then to St. Catherine’s Military Academy in Anaheim for five years and then to Villanova Preparatory Academy in Ojai for a year and a half and then to North Hollywood High. I graduated from North Hollywood High School in North Hollywood in 1939. I went to Stanford and into the Army, into the Air Force. It was then the Army Air Force in World War II, and I flew in Europe on a troop carrier command in 1944 as an aircraft radio operator. Came home in 1945 and married a young lady I had met in Vermont during the summertime. My family had a place on a lake there. I met her back before 1939 or ’40. We got married and had three children, three girls: Susan, the oldest; and Diane, the middle one; and Robin, the youngest.

The conclusion was continental flies. The tree agrees in topology with that based on that the variance in rate of LHP evolution is low enough to internal anatomy. Relative rate tests suggest that evolution of permit the use of LHP as a tool for estimating times of hemolymph proteins has been about as fast in Hawaii as on divergence (11). continents.

According Our analysis suggests that rates of LHP evolution are not to this scale, the Hawaiian fly fauna stems from a colonist that accelerated within the Hawaiian drosophilines, supporting landed on the archipelago about 42 million years ago-i.e., the use of LHP as an estimator of divergence times.

The Center pulls together interdisciplinary teams of campus faculty, Cooperative Extension specialists and advisors, and staff from various agencies and organizations to develop research projects, outreach and public education activities, and policy analysis on issues affecting California’s forest lands. The Center for Forestry manages five research forest properties: Baker Forest/U.C. Forestry Summer Camp, Blodgett Forest, Howard Forest, Russell Reservation, and Whitaker Forest. These offer field locations and facilities (lodging, meeting rooms) for research and workshops on forestry issues. 145 Mulford Hall, #163 4501 Blodgett Forest Road Berkeley, CA 94720-3114 Georgetown, CA 95634 (510) 642-0095 (530) 333-4475 e-mail: forestry @nature.berkeley.edu ---http: //nature.berkeley.edu/forestry BAKER FOREST/UC SUMMER CAMP Designed as a summer instructional camp for UC Berkeley forestry students, situated in Plumas County.

AL: In the course of your nearly half-century on the active faculty at Wesleyan, there have inevitably been significant changes, both academic and social. Which one—for better or worse—surprised you the most? BILL: When I think my way back to when I first came here in 1958, all the way to when I retired in 2005, there wasn’t much that surprised me—though there were changes that I was happy or not happy with. The two important things that I was really happy about were the establishment of PhD programs in the sciences in 1967–68 and the admission of women the hell did I know about it? I had never taken an around 1970. The PhD program was very important education course in my life. In my mind the research for the development of facilities, manpower, and was linked to the teaching because research teaches you programs. We were able to renovate, collaborate, and humility. Things don’t always go smoothly in research, even establish the new department of Microbiology and discoveries don’t happen one! two! three! four!—I and Biochemistry in 1984. Wesleyan was no longer a wanted students to experience the difficulties, the de facto college, but a real university. frustrations, the ups and downs, the joys.
