<p_bio_history>Martin W. Gorman was a botanist, specializing in trees and other flora of the Pacific Northwest United States. He was born on November 23, 1853 in Eaganville, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. He enrolled at McGill College in Montreal in 1876. In February 1885 Gorman moved to Portland, Oregon where he worked as a bookkeeper at a bank. According to a letter written to his brother, Gorman took up an interest in botany. During his trip to the Yukon Territory in 1893 on behalf of the bank he worked for, he gathered several boxes of plant specimens, and began his career as a botanist.
|
|
58
|
+
Over the next few years, Gorman traveled to the Yukon on numerous occasions as part of various expeditions. He conducted extensive botanical work in the Pacific Northwest, focusing a great deal on local trees. He collected across Oregon and Washington, including an expedition to Mount Baker in 1906, and later published a booklet concerning the trip titled, Vegetation of the Northwestern Slope of Mount Baker.
|
|
59
|
+
Gorman was appointed curator of the Oregon Forestry Building, where he worked until his death in Portland, Oregon, on October 7, 1926. A large number of his collected specimens now reside at the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Oregon Herbarium. His personal collection was acquired by the University of Oregon following his death. Gorman is credited with discovering at least 10 new species.

<p>Charles D. Walcott (1850-1927) was born in New York Mills, New York, and attended the Utica public schools and Utica Academy, but never graduated. He demonstrated an
|
|
105
|
+
early interest in natural history by collecting birds' eggs and minerals; and, while employed as a farm hand, he began collecting trilobites. These he later sold to Louis
|
|
106
|
+
Agassiz at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. Walcott began his professional scientific career in November 1876 when he was appointed as an assistant to James Hall,
|
|
107
|
+
New York's state geologist. On July 21, 1879, Walcott joined the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as an assistant geologist. Shortly after arriving in Washington, D.
|
|
108
|
+
C., he was sent to southwestern Utah to make stratigraphic sections. His later field work with the Survey included expeditions to the Appalachians, New England, New York,
|
|
109
|
+
eastern Canada, and several Middle Atlantic states, as well as other parts of southwestern and western United States. From 1882 to 1893 he worked with the Survey's invertebrate
|
|
110
|
+
Paleozoic paleontological collections, and in 1893 he was appointed Geologist in charge of Geology and Paleontology. He also served as an honorary curator of invertebrate
|
|
111
|
+
Paleozoic fossils at the United States National Museum (USNM) from 1892 to 1907, and as Acting Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in charge of the USNM from
|
|
112
|
+
1897 to 1898. His fieldwork from this period resulted in several major publications, including <span localType="title" style="font-style:italic">The Paleontology of the Eureka District</span> (1884), a study of fossils in
|
|
113
|
+
Nevada; <span localType="title" style="font-style:italic">The Fauna of the Olenellus Zone</span> (1888) concerning early North American Cambrian fossils; <span localType="title" style="font-style:italic">Correlation Papers on the Cambrian</span> (1890); and <span localType="title" style="font-style:italic">Fossil Medusae</span>
|
|
114
|
+
(1898). In 1894 Walcott was appointed Director of the USGS. Serving until 1907, he greatly expanded the functions of the agency and was successful in increasing federal appropriations.
|
|
115
|
+
In 1891 Congress had given the President the authority to establish public forests, but it was not until 1897 that the administration of the forest reserves was placed under
|
|
116
|
+
the USGS. Walcott was instrumental in having legislation passed to enforce the preservation of forest reserves and to add additional land to the reserve program. His predecessor
|
|
117
|
+
at the USGS initiated an arid land reclamation program in 1888 which Walcott continued as part of his forest reserve program. In 1902 he established the Hydrographic Branch
|
|
118
|
+
to administer the program; but four years later the Branch, since renamed the Reclamation Service, became a separate federal agency. He also created the Division of Mineral
|
|
119
|
+
Resources to experiment with coal combustion. In 1907 it was renamed the Bureau of Mines. At the request of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903, Walcott served as chairman
|
|
120
|
+
of a committee to study the scientific work being conducted by the federal government.</p>
|
|
121
|
+
<p>Walcott was appointed Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution on January 31, 1907, and resigned from the USGS in April 1907. His administration at the Smithsonian was
|
|
122
|
+
marked by numerous accomplishments, including the completion of the National Museum Building (now the National Museum of Natural History) in 1911. He was also successful in
|
|
123
|
+
convincing Detroit industrialist Charles Lang Freer to donate his extensive Oriental art collection and money for a building during his lifetime rather than after Freer's
|
|
124
|
+
death, as was originally intended. Walcott also set up the National Gallery of Art (predecessor to the National Museum of American Art) as a separate administrative entity
|
|
125
|
+
in 1920. To administer Frederick G. Cottrell's gift of patent rights to his electrical precipitator, the Research Corporation was formed in 1912, with revenue from this patent,
|
|
126
|
+
as well as future ones, to be used to advance scientific research at the Smithsonian and other educational institutions. Walcott served on the Corporation's Board of Directors
|
|
127
|
+
for several years. To further increase the Smithsonian's endowment, Walcott was planning a major fundraising effort; but this was not pursued following his death an February
|
|
128
|
+
9, 1927. In 1922, he and his wife established a fund in their names at the Smithsonian to support paleontological research.</p>
|
|
129
|
+
<p>Despite his many administrative responsibilities as Secretary, Walcott was able to find time to continue his research and collecting of fossils from the Cambrian and Ordovician
|
|
130
|
+
periods, with primary focus on the Canadian Rockies. In 1909 he located Cambrian fossils near Burgess Pass above Field, British Columbia. The following season he discovered
|
|
131
|
+
the Burgess shale fauna, which proved to be his greatest paleontological discovery. Most of this research was published in various volumes of the <span localType="title" style="font-style:italic">Smithsonian Miscellaneous
|
|
132
|
+
Collections</span> from 1908-1931. His one major publication during this period was <span localType="title" style="font-style:italic">Cambrian Brachiopoda</span>, published in 1912. Walcott continued to return to the Canadian
|
|
133
|
+
Rockies for most seasons through 1925, when he made his last field expedition. As one of the foremost scientific figures in Washington, Walcott helped to establish several
|
|
134
|
+
organizations with international renown and restructure existing national organizations. In 1902, Walcott, along with several other prominent individuals, met with Andrew
|
|
135
|
+
Carnegie to establish the Carnegie Institution of Washington as a center for advanced research and training in the sciences. Walcott served the Institution in several administrative
|
|
136
|
+
capacities. He was also instrumental in convincing Carnegie that the Institution should have laboratories built for scientists rather than use his gift solely for research
|
|
137
|
+
grants.</p>
|
|
138
|
+
<p>Elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1896, Walcott played a role in having the Academy become more actively involved in national science policy by serving in
|
|
139
|
+
many official capacities. In addition to serving on innumerable committees, he held the offices of treasurer, vice president, president, and council member. He was also appointed
|
|
140
|
+
to two presidential committees--Timber Utilization and Outdoor Recreation--in 1924 and was reappointed to both in 1926. He was the Academy's first recipient of the Mary Clark
|
|
141
|
+
Thompson Medal. Following his death, his wife established the Charles Doolittle Walcott Fund for achievements in Cambrian research.</p>
|
|
142
|
+
<p>In 1916 the Academy, at the request of President Woodrow Wilson, created the National Research Council within the Academy to assist the federal government in the interest
|
|
143
|
+
of national preparedness. Walcott, as one who met with Wilson, became actively involved in the organization of the Council by sitting on many of its committees, including
|
|
144
|
+
one which planned for the present headquarters of the Council and the Academy. Walcott contributed significantly to the development of American aviation. He pressed for the
|
|
145
|
+
establishment of the National Advisory Committee for Aviation, which was a predecessor of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He was instrumental in establishing
|
|
146
|
+
air mail service, organizing the Committee on Aerial Photographic Surveying and Mapping, and writing the Air Commerce Act of 1926. Besides his scientific activities, Walcott
|
|
147
|
+
lent his influence to other groups, such as the George Washington Memorial Association. That group attempted to create a memorial to Washington by forming an institution to
|
|
148
|
+
promote science, literature, and the arts, just as Washington had proposed should be done.</p>
|
|
149
|
+
<p>Walcott was married three times - to Lura Ann Rust (d. 1876), to Helena Breese Stevens (d. 1911), and to Mary Morris Vaux (d. 1940). By his second wife he had four children:
|
|
150
|
+
Charles Doolittle, Sidney Stevens, Helen Breese, and Benjamin Stuart. Charles died while a student at Yale, and Benjamin was killed in action in France while flying for the
|
|
151
|
+
Lafayette Flying Corps. In 1914 Walcott married Mary Morris Vaux, who, while accompanying him on his field trips, studied and painted North American wildflowers. Her work
|
|
152
|
+
was published in five volumes by the Smithsonian in 1925.</p>
|
|
153
|
+
<p>Although Walcott never received an academic degree, he was the recipient of numerous honorary degrees from colleges and universities in the United States and Europe. His
|
|
154
|
+
colleagues recognized his contribution to paleontology by awarding him the Bigsby and Wollaston Medals from the Geological Society of London; the Gaudry Medal of the Geological
|
|
155
|
+
Society of France; and the Hayden Medal from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. He also served as a founder and president, 1899-1910, of the Washington Academy
|
|
156
|
+
of Sciences; president of the Cosmos Club, 1898; president, 1915-1917, of the Washington Branch of the Archeological Institute of America; and president, 1925-1927, of the
|
|
157
|
+
American Philosophical Society.</p>
