| 666 | http://blog.case.edu/case-news/2010/09/10/pioneering_engineer_professor_anne_hiltner_dies Anne Hiltner, Case Western Reserve?s first female professor of engineering and an internationally recognized scientist and engineer, died Monday after a courageous battle with illness. She was 69. ?Our campus has lost a remarkable academic leader,? President Barbara R. Snyder said. ?As a woman in the sciences and engineering, Professor Hiltner?s entire career served as an inspiration to others. As a researcher of extraordinary ingenuity and accomplishment, she transformed her field. Her impact on the university, and on students and colleagues worldwide, cannot be overstated. We will miss her.? Professor Hiltner came to the university in 1967, after earning a doctorate in physical chemistry from Oregon State University. She served as a research associate for one year with chemistry professor Irvin M. Krieger, and then joined the laboratory of professor Eric Baer, who was chairman of the Department of Macromolecular Science at the time. The connection with professor Baer proved fortuitous, as the pair forged a powerful scientific collaboration that persisted to the present. They also discovered personal compatibility, marrying in 1999. ?The dream of every faculty member is to try harder, harder,? Baer said. ?She always climbed mountains.? From the very beginning, Baer recalled, his colleague was committed to excellence. Whether working in the laboratory, writing papers or advising graduate students, Hiltner remained laser-focused. ?She was a projects person,? Baer said. In 1974, Hiltner became the university?s first female member of the engineering faculty when she became an assistant professor of macromolecular engineering. Seven years later she founded the Center for Applied Polymer Research (CAPRI), an organization that encouraged collaboration across disciplines and ultimately laid the groundwork for the program that she considered her greatest achievement, the awarding of a 10-year, $40 million National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center (STC), the Center for Layered Polymeric Systems (CLiPS). The NSF received more than 160 applications for STC funding, and gave awards to six. CLiPS is the university?s first and only STC, and involves several other university partnerships nationwide as well as collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. ?The STC made her feel she had reached to the top of Everest,? Baer said. ?She really reached the pinnacle of her career.? Over her career, Professor Hiltner published nearly 400 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and received multiple honors from professional scientific organizations. She was a Fellow of the American Chemical Society?s Division of Polymeric Materials, the American Institute for Medical Biological Engineering, and the High Polymer Physics Division of the American Physical Society. In 2001, Professor Hiltner was the recipient of the American Chemical Society?s Cooperative Research Award in Polymer Science and Engineering. In 2004, Case Western Reserve named her the Herbert Henry Dow Professor of Science and Engineering. That same year, the Society of Plastics Engineers? Thermoplastic Materials and Foam Division presented Professor Hiltner its annual outstanding achievement award. In 2008, she received the American Chemical Society?s Award in Applied Polymer Science. In announcing the honor, the society cited Professor Hiltner?s ?pioneering contributions in understanding the connections between hierarchical structure and properties of polymers, their blends and composites.? Even with all of the recognition, Baer said, ?her greatest joy was her involvement with the graduate students. She loved the creative, productive side of her work.? Hiltner did not want formal remembrances or donations made in her name, Baer said. The greatest tribute others can make to Hiltner, he explained, is to continue her creative mission through their academic work.

| 678 | https://archive.org/details/commemorativebio04jhbe/page/n5 Commemorative biographical record of central Pennsylvania by J.H. Beers & Co Publication date 1898 GEORGE GROSS, a highly respected resident of New Berlin, Union county, can look back over more than seventy years of life, during which his retentive memory has treasured many interesting reminiscences of the past. During the greater portion of his life he has been identified with the mercantile and agricultural interests of this section. At present he is living in retirement and enjoying the fruits of his past labors. Mr. Gross is a member of an old Pennsylvania family, his ancestors having settled in Montgomery county in an early day. Henry Gross, his grandfather, was born there, being one of a large family of children, several of whom left the old home to locate elsewhere. One brother moved to the western part of Pennsylvania, another lived in Dauphin county, Penn., a sister died in Mifflin county, another brother died in New Orleans, a sister died in Franklin county, Penn., and still another brother at Beavertown, Snyder Co., Penn. Henry Gross was married in York county, Penn., to Miss Phoebe Havice, and came on horseback with his bride to what is now Beaver township, Snyder county, in the latter part of the eighteenth century. He established a mercantile business at Middleburg, but in 1801 his store was burned, and he then engaged in farming, purchasing land below MeKees Half Falls. In 1814 he bought the land upon which New Berlin now stands, and he followed farming there for a number of years. This land formerly belonged to George Long, and the village, when first laid out, was called Longstown. At one time Henry Gross owned six farms. His death occurred in 1842, when in his eighty-third year. His wife died in 1837, as the result of injuries received from an accident in falling down stairs. Henry, his eldest son, who served as justice of the peace and surveyor in Snyder county in an early day, in 1830, went west, locating in Seneca county, Ohio, where he died sixty-five years ago. The children of Henry and Phoebe (Havice) Gross were as follows: Henry (mentioned in the foregoing), Elizabeth (Mrs. George Herald), Sarah (Mrs. John Hilbish), Catherine (Mrs. Jacob Dubbs), Philip (father of our subject), John (who died near Chattanooga, Tenn.), Polly (Mrs. Col. Henry Royer) and Barbara (Mrs. George Kleckner). None of these children are now living. Mrs. Kleckner died one year after her marriage. Gen. Philip Gross, the father of our subject, was born in 1797, in Middleburg, and his educational opportunities in youth were limited to the schools of that place. He always resided upon the old homestead, following agriculture as an occupation, and at times did considerable business as an administrator and executor in the settlement of estates. He was a robust man, well-proportioned, and was seldom ill. Throughout his life he took keen interest in military affairs, and, only his ineligibility on account of age, prevented him from serving in the Civil war. He filled every office in the home militia from private to general, and was the last to serve in that rank under the old regime in the brigade of Union and Northumberland counties. He was a stanch Democrat, as was his father before him, and lie held a number of offices, serving one term as county treasurer before the separation from Union county, when the county seat was at New Berlin. For more than forty consecutive years he served as justice of the peace. In religious faith he was a Lutheran, and for many years held the office of trustee in the Church. He died in 1879. His wife, who died in 1894, at the age of ninety-one years, was Elizabeth Schoch. She was born March 31, 1803, in Snyder county, the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth (Hendricks) Schoch. Her remains now rest beside those of her husband in the cemetery at the old homestead. They had the following children: Henry died in Philadelphia, in February, 1890; George is our subject; Jacob died in infancy; Jacob (2) died in 1889, in Limestone township; Phoebe is the widow of Thomas Yearick, of Aaronsburg, Penn.; Mary J. married John Stauffer, and died in Boyertown, Penn.; Elizabeth C. is the widow of Rev. George B. Dechant, of Catawissa, Penn.; Benjamin F. died at the age of nineteen; John died in childhood; an infant son died unnamed; Elmira died in childhood; Susan married Dr. Jerry Hay, and died in Bloomville, Ohio; Laura is the widow of Marion Schnure, of Selins Grove, Union county, and John died in infancy. George Gross was born August 23, 1823, at the old homestead, and his education was begun in the schools of New Berlin, his first teacher being Mr. Hague. After attending the common schools until he was nineteen years old, he spent two is at the Lewisburg Academy, and. although qualified to teach, he never cared to do so. On leaving school he returned home to engage in farm work. In the fall of 1844, he, with three other young men, went to Seneca county, Ohio, driving the entire distance. He had relatives in that locality, and for a year was employed as a clerk by an uncle in Bellevue. Later he worked in the same capacity for a time at Tiffin, Ohio, and then returned to Pennsylvania, and entered the employ of his brother Henry, then a merchant at Aaronsburg. On August 13, 1846, he was married at New Berlin, to Miss Elizabeth C. Nettle, a native of Carlisle, Penn., and a daughter of Isaac Nettle. He then located on his father's farm for a year, whence in 1847 he removed to Rebersburg, where he established a general mercantile business. In 1848 he started a branch store in Loganton, Sugar Valley, under the firm name of Gross, Bogar & Co., Mr. Gross owning a half interest. For some time, in addition to his other work, he held the office of postmaster at Rebersburg, but, in 1858, he sold his store there and returned to the old homestead. In 1858 he disposed of his interest in the Loganton store, and in 1861, he bought out John D. Bogar, of New Berlin, and continued business for six years under the firm name of Gross & Lutz, and afterward as Gross & Wilson, until 1878, when he sold out and retired from active business in that line. In May 1859, he became a director in the Lewisburg National Bank, and he has attended every meeting of the board since that time with possible exceptions of three or four regular weekly meetings in a year. He is the surviving executor of his father's estate, and for years he looked after his mother's interests. Since 1861 he has occupied his present home at New Berlin, a beautiful place, which was at one time owned by Hon.

| 680 | https://psy.fsu.edu/php/about/history/bierly.html Acknowledgement: Biographical information about Harry Elmer Bierly (pronounced "Beer-lee") was compiled from various sources. We wish to thank Mr. Alvie L. Davidson of Lakeland, Florida whose initial detective work on our behalf resulted in us becoming connected with relatives of H.E. Bierly in Pennsylvania, as well genealogists in the Centre County, PA, area where this branch of the Bierly family originated. We are especially indebted to: David and Suzanne (Walkowiak) Rice, Doug Bierly, and Justin Kirk Houser, Genealogist/Researcher of Central PA and Beyond. Finally, Ludy T. Benjamin, Professor of Psychology at Texas A&M University, helped search for information about H.E. Bierly's academic career in psychology. 1. Biography of H. Elmer Bierly prior to joining the faculty of Florida State College in Tallahassee. The following item was originally printed in COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF CENTRE, CLEARFIELD, JEFFERSON AND CLARION COUNTIES [Pennsylvania] published 1898 by J. H. Beers & Co. (p 237). (Items bolded and text reformatted for internet presentation) "Prof. H. E. Bierly was born in the house now owned by Hon. Henry Meyer, Rebersburg, Penn., January 28, 1866. He attended the common schools of Miles township, until he was eighteen years of age, not having a chance to attend the summer schools on account of too much work on the farm. He then determined to get a better education, and in 1884 entered Union Seminary (now Central Pennsylvania College), New Berlin, Penn. This institution he attended most of the time between the years 1884-1888, during which time he nearly completed the classical course and prepared himself for Princeton University, which he entered in 1888 as a member of the class of '92. He spent five years at Princeton University, four as an under-graduate, taking the "A.B. course" and one year as a post-graduate, studying physiological psychology under Prof. Ormond, also the philosophy of religion, under the same professor. The next year, 1893-94, he was unanimously elected "Professor of the Natural and Physical Sciences" in Belleview Collegiate Institute, at Caledonia, Mo., where he taught one year, at the expiration of which time the Institute was partially closed. The next year he attended Harvard and Boston Universities, studying metaphysics under Prof. [Josiah] Royce and cosmology under Prof. [William] James, of Harvard University, and comparative theology and history of religious history of Christian doctrine, in the School of Theology, of Boston University. It was then that he became acquainted with Pres. G. Stanley Hall [of Clark University], John Fiske, Joseph Cooke, Professors Carpenter and Davids, of Oxford University. This year in Boston, and as a student of both of these Universities, was of the greatest value in his educational history. The next year he was "Professor of Mathematics and Science" in Missouri Military School, Mexico, Mo., which was destroyed by fire at the expiration of that year. During the following year he was engaged in writing a thesis on the "Origin and Development of the Conception of God", also in child-mind investigations in central Pennsylvania, in connection with Pres. G. Stanley Hall, of Clark University, Mass. and Prof. Earl Barnes, of Leland Stanford University, Cal. At present (1898) he is professor of philosophy and science in Virginia College for Young Ladies at Roanoke, Va., one of the best of the Southern female colleges, in which he occupies a very responsible position, next to the presidents thereof. As a student Prof. Bierly became intensely interested in philosophy, through Sir William Hamilton's lectures on metaphysics, the various works and writings of James McCosh, primarily, and through the edited works of Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel, achieving a natural inclination to speculative studies. At the same time he is greatly interested in biology, through a Natural History Society, which was organized by Prof. H. N. Conser, Ph. D., at Central Pennsylvania College, and which led him to reading of nearly all the works of Darwin, Huxley, Romanes and Herbert Spencer. It was the works of James McCosh that took him to Princeton University, whose lectures on metaphysics he attended in his freshman year, this being the last course on that subject given by McCosh, with whom he as a student was very well acquainted, and upon whom he called quite often, having received special recognition, encouragement and kindness from McCosh while alive. While a student of Princeton University he made a special study of philosophy and biology, having taken all the branches the university offers on both philosophy and biology. He took honors in the latter subject, and was offered a fellowship in osteology by the Chicago University, which he, however, did not accept, as he did not desire to give so much time in that particular line of investigation, having decided to make the study of philosophy a life vocation. He attended and was a member of the World's Congress of Philosophy held at Chicago during the World's Fair [1893], at which time he became personally acquainted with Prof. Josiah Royce, professor of philosophy in Harvard University, who has been his private adviser and director in philosophy ever since. Prof. Bierly is a member of the Pennsylvania German Society, and of several Psychological and Scientific Associations. He contributes a series of articles on the various conceptions of God for "The Preachers Helper". Just now (1898) he is more extensively engaged in child-mind investigations than ever, with Pres. Hall, Prof. Earl Barnes, Prof. Royce, also contributing a series of articles on child-mind study for several child-study magazines. He has also addressed and lectured before quite a number of teachers' associations and institutes in Missouri, Pennsylvania and Virginia on various, but mostly psychological subjects. During the [William Jennings] Bryan campaign [for the Democrat presidential nomination] in 1896, on account of not being hard pressed for work, he became very much interested in politics, through his cousin, Hon. Willis R. Bierly, of North Dakota. On account of the Democratic party splitting, Mr. Bierly was requested by the foremost politicians of the county to take a hand in politics and rally the Silver forces, as he did, and has done valuable service for his Valley and the county, having been elected president of the Bryan and Sewall Club of Brush Valley, which was composed of about two hundred members. He is a member of the M. E. Church, which he joined while a student of Princeton University. He was one of the three first members of the M.E. Church of Kreamerville, and rendered very effectual services in the building up of the Methodist Church at this place, having been appointed for this especial work, lasting several years, by the quarterly Conference (Methodist)." 2. After 1898. A. The available Florida State College catalogues indicate that H.Elmer Bierly joined the faculty of Florida State College about 1899 and left the faculty about 1904. B. During his first or second summer at FSC, H.E. Bierly appears to have spent time at Clark University from where he returned with instrumentation to establish what the College Catalogue claims to be the first psychological laboratory in the State of Florida, circa 1901. C. Professor Ludy T. Benjamin, Texas A&M University, summarized the outcome of a search for details on Bierly's academic career in psychology as follows (e-mail to Mike Rashotte, 21 May, 2001; reformatted for internet presentation): I have done a good bit of searching on Bierly through all of the standard and obscure history of psychology search tools (indexes, bibliographies, directories, etc). Here is what I know. I can find only two publications by him, both in 1899 in the Florida School Journal. 1. "The comparative development of the child." 1899, 2(3), p. 29. 2. "The relation of the central nervous system to psychological theory." 1899, 2(2), p. 8. He is not listed in Cattell's Leaders in Education (1932), nor in either volume of Murchison's Psychological Register (1929, 1932). He does not appear in Cattell's American Men of Science volumes which start publication in 1906. He does not appear in any of the APA Membership Yearbooks that I have (1914-1925). Perhaps he was a member earlier but had dropped by 1914. He is not in any of Boring's necrologies published in Psychological Bulletin. I also looked in the literature on the founding of psychology laboratories with the following results. FSU (or any earlier names) does not appear in the survey published by Christian Ruckmich (1912), "The history and status of psychology in the United State", American Journal of Psychology, 23, 517-531. He lists laboratories founded through 1911. It is possible that he did not send a questionnaire to FSU or that there was no one there in psychology to fill it out. Garvey, C. R. (1929)"List of American psychology laboratories", Psychological Bulletin, 26, 652-660. Garvey sent questionnaires to all colleges with enrollments over 1,000 as listed in the College Blue Book of 1926, but also to smaller schools if he suspected a psychology laboratory existed. He lists 117 colleges in order of founding. FSU (nor its earlier names) does not appear in the listing. It is possible that a questionnaire was not sent to the school. Interestingly, University of Miami (no, it's not Miami University, which also appears in the list) does appear in the list with a founding date of 1900, which if true, would predate you. No other Florida schools appear in the list. Benjamin, L. T., Jr. (2000), "The psychology laboratory at the turn of the 20th century', American Psychologist, 55, 318-321. I list the 40 labs for which there is good evidence of their founding by 1900. I did not list Miami because I could not verify Garvey's claim that it existed in 1900. Note: We have been unable to locate the issues of Florida School Journal in which H.E. Bierly published in 1899. D. A web site describing the history of the National Association of Teachers Agencies lists H. E. Bierly as attending an organizational meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1909, as a representative of the Education Review Agency of Chattanooga, Tennessee. This information indicates that Bierly became involved in education in Tennessee some time after he left Florida State College. E. The Obituary Notices we have obtained about H.E. Bierly describe him as being in the realty business in Tallahassee at the time of his death in 1943. We have been unable to obtain further details on his academic and business careers. 3. OBITUARY NOTICES FOR H. ELMER BIERLY (1943). The following obituary notices appeared in the Centre [County Pennsylvania] Democrat. A.
