Book excerpt: Alexander Dallas Bache was the key leader of antebellum American scientists. Presuming his profession to be a herald of an integrated U.S. nation-state, Bache guided organizations such as the United States Coast Survey, then the country's largest scientific enterprise. In this analytical biography, Axel Jansen explains Bache's efforts to build and shape public institutions as a national foundation for a universalistic culture—efforts that culminated during the Civil War when Bache helped found the National Academy of Sciences as a symbol for the continued viability of an American nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the biography of a man who made his greatest contribution to science in his reorganization of the U.S. Coast Survey. Alexander Dallas Bache was appointed superintendent in 1843, and the Survey increased its scope and improved its methods in the study of winds, tides, currents, and harbors under his charge Grandson of Benjamin Franklin, Bache was also active in education. Elected first president of Girard College when he was thirty, he visited European educational institutions in order to study their methods. And it may well be that, because of the admiration felt for his great ancestor, he was received in Europe with more attention than even his scholarship and personality merited. His survey of European educational institutions resulted in his monumental "Report on Education in Europe," which exerted a profound influence on educational methods in the United States. At heart, however, Bache was primarily a scientist and he became a significant figure in the development of American scientific institutions in general, and of Philadelphia in particular. An indefatigable worker, he also served as Superintendent of Weights and Measures in the United States, as a member of the Lighthouse Board, a Regent of the Smithsonian Institution, and Secretary of the American Philosophical Society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address in Commemoration of Alexander Dallas Bache: Delivered August 6, 1868, Before the American Association for the Advancement of Science Beside all these, there is yet another reason for distrust. His influence extended through so large a sphere that it is difficult for us fully to comprehend it now. The more we examine the tokens of its action, the more do we become impressed with its extraordinary range. I know of no department of physical or natural science which has not been stimulated or fostered through his means. The legislative and executive departments of the nation knew his power through many years, and relied upon it in matters far beyond the range of his ordinary pursuits. Both the army and nay felt, and have often acknowledged their obligations to him. The progress of education, the development of scientific research, the extent of scientific discovery, the growth of the arts, and the spread of commerce, have all been greater in America because he has lived. Such a man was our beloved and honored Bag he. To hesitate, when summoned to put into words our common tribute, were unworthy of his friend or of his pupil. You will all feel the inadequacy of the offering, and the futility of attempting to compress into the utterance of an hour or two such records and such results. Many of you have already brought him a better tribute, - that of years of fruitful labor, prompted and encouraged by himself, or of a change in the aims and pursuits of a lifetime, induced by his wise and kindly counsel. Alexander Dallas Bag he was born in Philadelphia on the 19th day of July, 1806. If intellectual and moral eminence might be inferred from an honorable lineage, which, unhappily, is not always the case, it certainly would have been anticipated for him. His father was the son of Richard Bache and Sarah Franklin; the former. President of the Republican Society of Philadelphia at the outbreak of the American Revolution, and Postmaster General of the United States from 1776 to 1782; the latter, the only child of Benjamin Franklin and his wife Deborah (Read), and herself eminent as one of the heroines of the war of independence.

Book Synopsis Patronage, Practice, and the Culture of American Science by : Hugh Richard Slotten
Download or read book Patronage, Practice, and the Culture of American Science written by Hugh Richard Slotten and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-06-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Hugh Richard Slotten explores the institutional and cultural history of science in the United States. The main focus is on the activities of Alexander Dallas Bache - great-grandson of Benjamin Franklin and the acknowledged "chief" of the American scientific community during the second third of the nineteenth century. Bache played a central role in the organization and management of a number of key scientific institutions, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Smithsonian Institution, and the National Academy of Sciences. But his dominance in these institutions was made possible through his control of an organization less well known today, the United States Coast Survey, which he superintended from 1843 until his death in 1867. Under Bache's command the Coast Survey became the central scientific institution in antebellum America. Using richly detailed archival records, Slotten pursues an analysis of Bache and the Coast Survey that illuminates important historiographic themes. We gain a better understanding of the particular style of nineteenth-century American science by examining the role of the Coast Survey as a source of patronage. Perhaps most important, this study explores the ways in which scientific knowledge and practice are embedded within local contexts. Although Bache sought to use the Coast Survey to raise the status of American science partly by emulating European scientific elites, his efforts also reflected the cultural and political values of antebellum America. Slotten thus analyzes the interrelationship between political culture, patterns of patronage, and the institutional practice of science in the United States.
