CORNER Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1954 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. GEORGE LINIUS STREETER 1873-1948 BY GEORGE W. CORNER George Linius Streeter was generally recognized during the latter years of his life by the embryologists of the world as their leader in the study of human embryology. From 1914 until his death in 1948 he was connected with the Department of Embryology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, of which he was Director for 23 years (1917-1940). So fully indeed did he plan and lead the work of the Baltimore embryo- logical laboratory that his fame and that of his department are scarcely separable. Dr. Streeter was born January 12, 1873 at Johnstown in western New York, whither his family, of English descent, had migrated by way of New England. His father was a leader in the chief industry of that region, glove manufacturing. After being graduated from Union College in 1895 ne studied at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and took the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1899. While in medi- cal school his interest in human anatomy was aroused by Columbia's accomplished professor of that subject, George S. Huntington. After an internship in Roosevelt Hospital, New York City, Streeter became assistant to Dr.

  • World War I and the Art of War: WWI Posters from the Collection of Oscar Jacobson OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
    World War I and The Art of War: WWI Posters from the Collection of Oscar Jacobson OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The beginnings of World War I (WWI) in Europe began long before the United States joined the Great War. In June of 1914, the Archduke of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassi- nated. The Austrians suspected the Serbians, and declared war one month later. The chain reaction after these events are what would become the Great War, or the First World War. The United States did not formally enter the war until it declared war on Germany in 1917. The war had many effects on the United States and Oklahomans before entrance into war in 1917. There were supporters and opponents of the war, opponents of the Selective Service Act, and effects on the United States' economy. Crop prices fell and rose, rations began to conserve for the war, and free speech was ques- tioned. Many of these issues lasted throughout the war. Explore the Great War and its lasting effects on Oklahoma throughout this exhibit.

  • 1 in the Annual Meeting of the Alumnae/Alumni Associations, May
    In the Annual Meeting of the Alumnae/Alumni Associations, May 19, 2017 This award shows your deep respect for Academy history, something we share. Many of the alumni so designated were mentors to me, some teachers, colleagues, and schoolmates. Two I had the pleasure to teach. Special to my heart is John Hawn, recipient in 1964. He was chairman of the 150th anniversary fund, the fruit of which is the Field House. Later he was president of the board. In the 1950s, John was a kind and knowledgeable mentor to cadet officers. When I began teaching here in 1963, I came across Dr. Henry H. Hun's "Ancestry and Achievements of Academy Students," a typed manuscript in five volumes of the research compiled by his father, Dr. Henry Hun, Class of 1870. Trustee Prentiss Carnell, Jr. (not young Prentiss III, Class of 1952, but his father) offered me the task of writing the historical account of the school from the 125th anniversary (1938) to the 150th (1963) and Harry Meislahn allowed me to collect disparate holdings into an Archives. The Mothers Association helped me attend graduate school where I wrote an account of Albany and its early nineteenth century schools, the Lancaster School, Albany Academy, and Albany Female Academy. After Caroline Mason brought me back to the faculty as Archivist in 2007, I wrote two short histories of each of our schools, covering the bicentennial stories. You may download them from the "archives" section of www.albanyhistory.org. Last year I published as a biographical dictionary the data collected by the Dr.s Hun on nearly 8,000 students of the first century.
