Background
Dupree, Anderson Hunter was born on January 29, 1921 in Hillsboro, Texas, United States. Son of George W. and Sarah (Hunter) Dupree.

From the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to the onset of World War II, Dupree shows how federal involvement in science centered on key national interests--geographical exploration and expansion, agriculture and conservation, medicine, public health, industry and the military. Dupree examines the roles and impact that individuals and institutions such as the Smithsonian and National Academy of Sciences have had on American science.

(The leading American botanist of the nineteenth century, ...)
The leading American botanist of the nineteenth century, Asa Gray helped organize the main generalizations of the science of plant geography. The manual of botany that carries his name is still in use today. Friend and confidant of Charles Darwin, Gray became the most persistent and effective American protagonist of Darwin's views. Yet at the same time, he believed that religion and Darwin's theory of natural selection could coexist. A. Hunter Dupree's authoritative biography offers the first full-length interpretation of one of America's most important men of science.

The documents in this collection were first written or spoken by men who were observing some facet of the subtle but fundamental change in the relationship between science and technology which was destined to change the twentieth century world. In reading the documents you should remember that the writers did not have the opportunity for hindsight. Try to work out your own answers to questions such as: 1) What is the difference between science and technology?; 2) What role does innovation play in American technology?; 3) Do you see by 1916 the development of a relationship between science and technology?; 4) What changes in American life in these years made the harnessing of science and industry possible?
