  • MEMORIAL of HEINRICH RIES Ar,Lnro L. Axtnnsox, Cornell
    MEMORIAL OF HEINRICH RIES Ar,lnro L. Axtnnsox, Cornell,[lniaersity, Ithaca, New Vork. The sudden and unexpected passing of Dr. Heinrich Ries, professor Emeritus of Geology of Cornell University, at his home in fthaca, New York, on April 11, 1951, came as a shock to his many friends here and abroad. Death came in the midst of many activities less than three weeks before his eightieth birthday, and only two days before he was to have been the honored guest of the central New York chapter of the Ameri- ,,Dr. can Foundrymen's Association at a Heinrich Ries Night.,, On that occasion he was to have been.presented with a bronze plaque bearing the inscription, "rn sincere appreciation of active leadership and con- tribution to the foundry industry in the field of sand research.,, His passing ended a long distinguished career as a teacher and mineral scientist in which he gained recognition as one of the leaders in the field of the nonmetallic mineral deposits. His pioneering work on clays and foundry sands will long be remembered and will remain a lasting monu- ment of his achievemenrs. Dr. Ries was born in Brooklyn, New York, on April 30, 1871, the son of Heinrich and caroline Bowman (Atkins) Ries. As a youth he had the advantages of an education obtained in part in this country and in part abroad. rt is possible that his early studies and travels in Europe had served to arouse an interest in minerals, but in any event this interest was manifest when he enrolled as a student in the columbia university school of Mines.

  • Memorial to Louis Caryl Graton 1880-1970
    Memorial to Louis Caryl Graton 1880-1970 DONALD H. McLAUGHLIN Homestake Mining Company, San Francisco, California A long span of life was granted to Louis Caryl Graton and he used it well. His active career as a scientist and a skilled professional in the field of mining geology, starting at the turn of the century, extended over a period of dramatic achievement in the geological sciences and in their many applications in the search for ores. Throughout these years of growth and change, Graton was alert and eager to appraise and master new concepts, as knowledge advanced in a broad front, and to utilize them in his own efforts to improve our understanding of geological processes and particularly of those by which ore deposits were brought about. To him, the methods of the scientist observation, experimentation and reasoning from the data were a cherished way of life, which was enhanced by the satisfaction he derived from applying his talents to practical ends in assisting governmental agencies and mining enterprises. Teaching was a vital part of his career, and to an extraordinary degree his students became involved in the research activities and in the succession of professional services that deeply engaged his interest. He was outstanding as an organizer of studies directed to specific major problems and as a leader of teams of geologists assembled for their solution. When significant results were obtained, he generously shared their publication with his younger colleagues or assisted them to attain independent status as authors. His most important papers, however, were those on which he worked alone, aided by his own wide range of knowledge and inspired by his ardent convictions concerning the direction in which the evidence pointed.

    Modified (reformatted and without figures) from Chapter 4 of The Heritage of Engineering Geology: The First Hundred Years GSA Centennial Special Volume 3, 1991 HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF ENGINEERING GEOLOGY DIVISION GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1940s TO 1990 George A. Kiersch GeoIogical Consultant Kiersch Associates, Inc. 4750 North Camino Luz, Tucson, Arizona 85718 Allen W. Hatheway Department of Geological Engineering University of Missouri at Rolla Missouri 65401 INTRODUCTION During the 1890s, the importance of an interrelation between geologic principles and guidance for construction of major engineering works was being clearly demonstrated through the efforts of Professor William 0. Crosby (M.I.T.) and Professor James F. Kemp (Columbia). A half-century earlier, geologists in North America had begun to show this interdependence, as indicated by works of James Hall of the New York State Geological Survey in 1839 on rock cuts of the Erie Canal and William W. Mather of the Ohio Geological Survey in 1838 on rotational slides along the lake front at Cleveland. The contributions of these and other early workers are described in Chapter 1, as are other early geological studies for dams, tunnels, aqueducts, canals, and related works. However, the first organizations and groups formed to represent the early practitioners of applied geology only developed in the early 1900s. HERITAGE: 1900s TO 1950s The Economic Geology Publishing Company was formed to serve the interests of all applied/economic geologists in 1905, and the first issues of Economic Geology were released that year. This scientific journal soon developed a wide circulation, both domestic and foreign, and was the medium for all four branches of applied, or economic, geology, described by D.
