Sigma XI: Quarter Century Record and History, 1886-1911 (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Sigma XI: Quarter Century Record and History...)
Excerpt from Sigma XI: Quarter Century Record and History, 1886-1911 The Baltimore Convention of the Society instructed the Correspond ing Secretary in 1909 to prepare a complete catalog of the membership. The Washington Convention in 1911 authorized the printing of the list. The result is this book. The preparation of the record has demanded a large amount of work for which the Society is indebted first of all to the secretaries of the individual chapters. Rapid rotation in office, fre quent shifts in the personnel of a chapter, and the lack of permanent records have made it difficult to ascertain accurately some of the impor tant facts in the history of almost every chapter despite the prolonged efforts of the present-day officers and of the resident members. In one case (ohio) all of the original records were destroyed by fire and in other chapters early record books and papers cannot be found. The membership list of each chapter is published on the authority of the Chapter Secretary, and each chapter history is signed by him. In addition, I have spared no effort to help make each list complete and to correct all errors. The delays incident to the investigation of doubts arising in reading manuscript and proof have led to the discovery of numerous errors, and have resulted as a matter of fact in demonstrating the omission of some forty names from one chapter list; yet this has postponed the appearance of the book many months. It is too much to hope that all errors have been corrected; for any that still remain I ask the most charitable consideration of all. By vote of the Washington Convention the list was limited to the membership on December 31, 1911, and each member was to be given the position held at that date. There have been changes, of course, but this book is more than a mere address list, and despite the changes the record indicates closely the present relations of the membership.

Henry Baldwin Ward
Edit ProfileEducation
Henry B. Ward attended the public schools of Troy and Williams College (his father's alma mater), from which he graduated, A. B. , in 1885. After three years of teaching science in the Troy high school, he went to Europe in 1888 for graduate study in zoology, and for two years attended the universities of Göttingen, Freiburg, and Leipzig, spending the vacation periods at the marine laboratories of Naples, Ville-Franche-sur-Mer, and Helgoland. He was particularly influenced by Prof. Rudolph Leuckart of Leipzig, an authority on the invertebrates and founder of the celebrated laboratory of parasitology. At Leipzig, Ward conceived the ambition to found a similar laboratory in the United States. Upon his return in 1890, he entered the graduate school of Harvard University, where he received the Ph. D. degree in 1892 with a dissertation on the marine nematomorph Nectonema agile Verrill, a species he had observed at Naples.
He received honorary doctorates from the universities of Cincinnati (1920), Oregon (1932), and Nebraska (1945) and from Williams College (1921).
Career
Ward was appointed instructor in zoology at the University of Michigan in 1892 but moved after a year to the University of Nebraska, at first as associate professor, from 1896 as professor. While at Nebraska he published a series of papers on parasites of man and discovered the presence in the United States of the human lung fluke, Paragonimus. He played a major role in developing a two-year premedical course and in 1902 became the first dean of the University of Nebraska College of Medicine, newly established at Lincoln in affiliation with the Omaha Medical College. In 1909, however, plans were made to move the Lincoln unit to the Omaha campus. When it became clear that, because of rivalries between the two medical faculties, Ward would not be retained as dean after the move, he resigned. That fall he went to the University of Illinois as head of the department of zoology, a position he was to occupy with distinction until his retirement in 1933. In addition to teaching zoology at the undergraduate level, he established one of the first research laboratories in the United States to offer graduate work in parasitology. The large number of students who received the Ph. D. under his supervision later made significant contributions to the growth of this science. To provide an outlet for publishing the results of such research, he inaugurated in 1914, with the assistance of his colleagues Stephen A. Forbes and William Trelease, the series of Illinois Biological Monographs. That same year he also founded the Journal of Parasitology, the first American publication devoted to the field; he continued to edit the journal until 1932, when he presented it to the American Society of Parasitologists to become its official organ. Ward's research reflected in part his love of the outdoors. He early began biological research on the Great Lakes, at first for the Michigan Fish Commission, afterward for the United States Fish Commission. For many years, beginning in 1906, he conducted summer field investigations of the Alaska and Pacific salmon. Besides his papers on parasites, which dealt with such subjects as parasites of the human eye, the relations of animal parasites to disease, and the spread of fish tapeworm, he was the co-author, with George Chandler Whipple, of Fresh-Water Biology (1918), long a standard work. An active member of the Izaak Walton League of America, of which he was president, 1928-30, and of the National Wild Life Federation, Ward was deeply concerned with national problems of wildlife conservation and the pollution of streams. Ward belonged to a large number of scientific societies and was a leader of many, including the American Microscopical Society (president, 1905), the American Society of Zoologists (president, 1912 - 14), and the American Society of Parasitologists, of which he was the first president when it was founded in 1925. At Illinois he worked closely with President Edmund J. James; articulate and well-spoken, he was particularly effective on faculty committees. He died in Urbana, Ill. , of a heart attack in his eighty-first year, and was buried there in Mount Hope Cemetery.
Achievements
-
He contributed significantly to the development of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, as secretary of Section F (zoology) in 1900, general secretary (1902), vice-president (1905), and permanent secretary (1933 - 37); and of the scientific honor society, Sigma Xi, as secretary (1904 - 21) and president (1922 - 23). Ward was influential also in university affairs. Sometimes called the "father of American parasitology, " he was to America what Leuckart had been to Germany. Although mostly notable for his work in zoology, Ward also made contributions to phycology.
