Paris Exposition; in 1894 he was the Geologist on the Geary Expidition; in 1909. 'Tour of Geology' member of the University of Chicago, Orient Education Investigation commission; and research associate of the Carnegie Institution.  Dr. Chamberlin's interests in research lay in the geology of Wisconsin, lead and zinc deposits, glacial and dynamic geology, the chief originator of the Planetesimal hypothesis, the early history of the earth and in the history of the atmosphere.  Dr. Chamberlin resigned the position of Presidency at the Wisconsin University, partly because the legislature failed to appropriate necessary funds and partly because his duties did not give him ample time for research.  When Harper established the Chicago University he headed all his departments with the best brains in the country; and on condition that R. D. Salisbury, a friend of Dr. Chamberlin, also head one of the departments, and take all his responsibilities and duties as the position held, Chamberlin accepted his new position as head of the Department of Geology of the Chicago University in 1892.  Here, he, Chamberlin has up to this day spent most of his time in research, even living in a hotel so that he would have no other added responsibilities.

  Dr. F. R. Moulton was born in Leroy, Michigan in 1872.  He is a mathematician.  In 1892-1894 he was an instructor of astronomy in Albrion; 1896-1898 an assistant at Chicago; from 1898-1900 and associate; from 1900-1902 Instructor; 1903-1912- Prof. Dr. Moulton became an associate editor of the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society in 1907 and a research associate of the Carnegie Institution in 1908.  He is the author of an Introduction of Celestial Mechanics; Introduction of Astronomy 1905; Descriptive Astronomy 1912;
