Cadwalader, Lambert (1743-1823).
Soldier
Papers, 1779-1798. 7 items.

Lambert Cadwalader, a revolutionary war soldier, was born in Trenton, New Jersey, the son of Thomas Cadwalader and Hannah Lambert. He attended the College of Philadelphia and remained in the city to join Philadelphia to go into business with his brother, John Cadwalader. They were very successful and perhaps that was the motivation for Lambert Cadwalader to become politically involved and also serve as a soldier.

This collection of letters, while tiny, is actually quite rich in content. Cadwalader wrote to Samuel Meredith, a politician and fellow Revolutionary War soldier, about the war, his real estate holdings in Philadelphia, and the local political climate. The eight items are dated from October 5, 1779 to March 9, 1798, a time span in which Cadwalader spent time in the military, reentered politics, got married in 1793, and retired from public service in 1795.

Calvert, Amelia Smith
Diaries, 1912, 1929. 2 vols. (657 pp.). Index.

Amelia Calvert was the wife of the Philadelphia entomologist, Philip Powell Calvert (1871-1961). The two diaries kept by his wife on their trips to Europe record little scientific information, although there is mention of some of the entomologists and scientists whom they met (e.g., Prof. Robert Newstead of University of Liverpool). In general her observations are those of a literate and passionate sightseer who records travel events in great detail. The British diary (1912) includes Liverpool, Edinburgh, York, Lincoln, Cambridge, Oxford, London, etc., including observations of the entomological specimens they saw in London. The Europe diary includes: Antwerp, Brussels, Amsterdam, Lucerne, Venice (of particular interest), Padua, Milan, etc. There is a description of P. P. Calvert's examination of insect specimens in the collection of Baron de Selys in the Royal Museum of Natural History in Brussels.

Cannon, Walter B. (Walter Bradford) (1871-1945)
Physiologist. APS 1908.
Correspondence with William W. Keen, 1905-1928. ca. 600 items.

A key spokesman for the medical establishment against the antivivisection movement, Walter B. Cannon was head of the Council for the Defence of Medical Research of the American Medical Association from 1908 to 1936. He and his colleague William W. Keen monitored antivivisectionist activity, mobilized the medical profession, lobbied politicians, testified in public hearings, and wrote tirelessly in defense of animal experimentation. Cannon was George Higginson Professor of Physiology at Harvard Medical School and head of its physiology department. Keen was a prominent surgeon and neurologist from Philadelphia.

The Cannon Papers consist of over 1.5 linear feet of correspondence, 1905-1928, primarily between Cannon (1871-1945) and Keen (1837-1932) regarding their mutual opposition to the antivivisection movement.

Castle, William E. (William Ernest) (1867-1962)
Geneticist. APS 1910.
Papers, 1930-1962. 1 lin. foot.

A modest Midwesterner who became one of the most influential geneticists of the first half of the 20th century, William E. Castle spent his career at Harvard and the University of California working on patterns of inheritance in mice, horses, and a variety of other mammalian taxa. An early proponent of Mendelian theory, Castle was director of the Bussey Institution at Harvard for almost thirty years, helping to train a number of important geneticists.

The Castle Papers contain one linear foot of correspondence dating primarily from the period after Castle's "retirement" to Berkeley in 1936 until his death in 1962, dealing almost exclusively with his research on horse breeding and the inheritance of coat coloration in horses. Castle's correspondence with his former student L. C. Dunn is an exception, focusing on mouse genetics and ranging to a variety of topics from the conduct of scientific research during the Second World War to Castle's interests in the early history of genetics.

Catholic Church.
Detmar Basse Müller Book of Hours, ca.1475. 1 vol. (93 leaves).

Books of hours were among the most common devotional texts of the Middle Ages. Produced throughout western Europe until the early 16th century, books of hours were important status items, often elaborately illuminated, that might be tailored to the specific tastes of well-heeled clients to reflect interests in particular saints or to incorporate other elements of their personal lives and religious, political, or social commitments.

Although the specifics of its origin remain uncertain, the APS Book of Hours is organized in a fairly typical fashion. Beginning with a calendar specifying feast days and other holy days, the book includes readings from the gospels, prayers (Obsecro te, O Intemerata), the Hours of the Virgin, the Hours of the Cross, the seven penitential psalms (6, 31, 37, 50, 101, 129), the litanies and prayers, the office for the dead, and additional prayers devoted to Saints Barbara, Anthony, Margaret, and Sebastian. Each of the 22 sections begins with a full-page illustration, many with additional vignettes. An additional vignette of a figure of death is included in the office of the dead. The volume was donated to the APS by Detmar Basse-Müller in 1806.

---

Timothy Matlack Book of Hours, ca.1475. 1 vol. (93 leaves).

Although the illuminated pages have been removed from this book of hours, the gift of Timothy Matlack in 1811, it remains an elegant and ornate manuscript, with initials and line fillers in prominent gilt, red, and blue. Only one page remains from the calendar (the last), however many of the major elements of the book can be identified, including the prayers to the Virgin, the Stabat Mater Dolorosa and stations of the cross, the penitential psalms, litanies, and prayers, and the office of the dead.

Cercle des Philadelphes du Cap-François
Collection, 1784-1787. 7 items. In French.

Founded in Cap François, Saint Domingue (now Haiti) in August 1785, the Cercle des Philadelphes was one of the most prestigious colonial learned societies of the Ancien Regime. During its brief seven year existence, the Cercle pursued an agenda of promoting improvements in agriculture, manufactures, the arts and sciences, published five volumes of memoirs, and established correspondence with their peers in the American Philosophical Society and other learned societies. Their foreign membership included both Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush.

The Cercle des Philadelphes Collection is a small, but important assemblage of documents relating to French colonial science. Each of the documents is associated with Louis Narcisse Baudry de Lozières, the first president of the Cercle, including three certificates appointing him to office, and two important addresses. The first of these appears to be his opening remarks to the Cercle at its first public meeting on Aug. 15, 1784. The second is an early, but undated document outlining the organization of the Cercle and its aims.

Biochemist, nucleic acid pioneer. APS 1979
Papers, 1929-1992. 56 lin. feet.

A biochemist at Columbia University, Erwin Chargaff discovered the base-pairing regularities or "complementarity relationships" of nucleic acids that provided one of the key steps in developing a structural model for DNA. During his long career, Chargaff is credited with conclusively falsifying the tetranucleotide hypothesis; demonstrating the existence of a large number of DNA species; and creating the first descriptions of hypochromicity, hyperchromicity, and the denaturation of a DNA. In addition, Chargaff conducted important research on blood coagulation, lipids and lipoproteins, the metabolism of amino acids and inositol, and the biosynthesis of phosphotransferases. He retired to emeritus status in 1974 and remained active in research almost to the time of his death in June 2002.

The Chargaff Papers are organized into seven series: I. Correspondence, 1931-1992 ; IIa. Grants, 1930-1982 ; IIb. Subject Files, 1940-1984 ; III. Works by Chargaff, 1929-1989; IV. Works by Others, 1936-1985 ; V. Research Notes and Notebooks, 1929-1951 ; VI. Photographs, 1935-1977.

Biochemist. APS 1939.
Papers, ca. 1903-1964. ca. 7,000 items (6 lin. ft.). 24 notebooks.

A long-time member of the faculty at Johns Hopkins, the biochemist William Mansfield Clark made significant contributions to the understanding of oxidation-reduction potentials of organic systems. This collection of Clark's professional papers includes drafts of manuscripts and correspondence, especially with James B. Conant and Barnett Cohen, relating to Clark's life and research. Of particular note are Clark's Cutter lectures at Harvard in 1930 and his correspondence with Eric G. Ball, when Ball worked in Otto Warburg's lab in Berlin in 1937-1938. Clark's participation in professional organizations is reflected in correspondence with the Society of American Bacteriologists and with the Journal of Biological Chemistry, as well as with colleagues Stanley Benedict and Rudolph Anderson. There is some material relating to Clark's lectures and papers, and there are four student notebooks (physical chemistry, optics, thermodynamics/physics), and twenty-three miscellaneous scientific notebooks, 1941-1953.

Clarke, Charles Baron, 1832-1906
Botanist
Papers, 1867-1906. 16 items (0.25 lin. feet).

Trained at Cambridge, the botanist Charles Baron Clarke entered the English colonial civil service in 1865 as inspector of schools in Bengal. Over the course of the ensuing twenty-two years, he traveled extensively in Bengal, Assam, Kashmir, Nepal, and Bhutan collecting and meticulously documenting the native flora, constructing a massive herbarium that was eventually given to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. He was author of several monographs and papers on the botany of the English colonies, and at different times in his career turned his pen to discussions of ethnology, education, political economy, and Indian music. For his varied efforts, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, the Linnean Society, and the Geological Society.

The Clarke Papers include five letters written by Clarke to his father and brother while stationed in India. Although they contain little content relating to his botanical activities, they provide interesting commentary on the state of eastern Bengal in the 1860s and 1880s, and valuable contextual information for situating Clarke in his colonial and intellectual milieu.

Clymer, George (1739-1813)
Merchant, signer of the Declaration of Independence. APS 1786.
Papers, 1785-1848. 27 items.

George Clymer was a successful merchant, well-known politician, and a generous philanthropist but is today, of course, most famous for being a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He went from a successful career as a merchant into local politics. As a proponent of independence, he joined various local political committees including six of the seven Philadelphia resistance committees. From there, he entered the national political arena and in 1776 was elected to the Second Continental Congress where he signed the Declaration of Independence.

The George Clymer Collection is a small one and unfortunately not at all reflective of his varied pursuits. There are twenty-seven documents, most of which are not signed by Clymer; those that are signed by Clymer are dated between May 3, 1800 and January 22, 1813. The items represent not Clymer's political activities but his ordinary legal transactions and real estate holdings.

Cohen, Seymour S. (Seymour Stanley), 1917-
Papers, 1938-1990. 25.5 linear ft.

Working on bacterial viruses in 1945, Seymour S. Cohen offered the first systematic exploration of the biochemistry of virus-infected cells and of how viruses multiply. His subsequent research included delineating the phenomenon of thymineless death, developing derivatives of ara-A compound, working on RNA synthesis, studying the effects of polyamines on metabolic systems, and studying plant viruses (including viral cations). Much of his research has contributed to the chemical treatment of cancer and viral infections.

Condon, Edward Uhler (1902-1974)
Physicist. APS 1949.
Papers, ca. 1920-1974. ca. 75,000 items. (75 lin. ft.).

Edward Uhler Condon was a theoretical physicist at Princeton University and Westinghouse Laboratories who later served as director of the National Bureau of Standards (1945-1951), and as the director of research and development (1951-1954) and consulting physicist (1954-1974) at Corning Glass Works. The Condon Papers includes correspondence, notebooks, writings, photographs, and other materials concerning Condon's education, teaching, and his government, industrial, and academic.

Included among the more interesting items are an incomplete autobiography, accompanied by scattered recollections of the University of California, Berkeley and Los Alamos in 1943, and a quantity of important material relating to Condon's problems with obtaining security clearances during to late 1940s and 1950s. Information concerning Condon's student and teaching days is included in several books of notes from physics lectures at Berkeley, 1920-1924, and copies of lectures for the classes Condon taught in physics, atomic physics, and quantum mechanics (1931), as well as a separate series of quantum mechanics lecture notes for the 1930s and 1950s.

The security clearance material is diverse, relating not only to Condon but to other scientists and the threat to science in general. Particularly important files include those for the Eastern Industrial Personnel Security Board; exhibits on behalf of Condon; Fowler, Levan, Hawes and Symington (legal counsel); folders on Richard Nixon; Security Investigation; speeches ("The Weakest Link"); U.S. Congress House Special Committee on Un-American Activities; U.S. Department of Commerce Loyalty Board. Condon's personal correspondence with Clifford and Virginia Durr is also rich on this topic, and on politics and social issues of the 1950s.

Miscellaneous material of note includes folders on Condon's involvement with a variety of professional organizations, the Manhattan Project, and with Operation Crossroads, the atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll, June 30, 1946. The case of J. Robert Oppenheimer is well documented, as is the President's Scientific Board, 1947.

Condon, Edward Uhler (1902-1974)
UFO Collection, ca. 1947-1969. 22 lin. ft.

This unsorted collection of materials on unidentified flying objects contains copies of early Air Force investigation files (for Project Sign, 1947 49; Grudge, 1949-1951; Blue Book, 1952-1967), and also the files for the Colorado project, or the Condon Report as it is popularly known (Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, 1968). There are 14 boxes relating to this project, 7 of which contain files of the actual cases investigated, and all of which contain drafts of the published chapters, with supporting documentation and correspondence.

The Air Force files were obviously copies as background material for Condon's use, but it is unclear how complete they are. Many are duplicates from the Air Force archives at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, which have been microfilmed for research use by the National Archives.

Couch, Jonathan (1789-1870)
Naturalist, physician.
Papers, 1839-1891. 1 lin. foot.

In many ways, Jonathan Couch was a prototype of the Victorian provincial naturalist, a trained physician whose eclectic, but intensely local interests ran from the life sciences to geology, Cornish folk beliefs, and local history. His major works included a three-volume translation of Pliny's Natural History (London, 1847-1849) published by the Wernerian Club of London, The History of Polperro (Truro, 1871), and the exhaustive four-volume A History of the Fishes of the British Islands (London, 1862-1868).

The remnants of a wide-ranging mind, the Couch Papers contain a sampling of correspondence, rough drafts of articles, and notes on a variety of topics of interest to the Cornish naturalist and antiquarian, Jonathan Couch. The bulk of the correspondence relates to Couch's translation of Pliny's Natural History, published by the Wernerian Club of London between 1847 and 1849. The notes are highly diverse, but include some systematic descriptions of fishes, probably used in his A History of the Fishes of the British Islands and notes Cornish folk beliefs. Of particular interest are his "Notes connected with instinct and reason" and three manuscripts relating to evolutionism: "Enquiry into the circumstances...," "On the history and development of man," and "The Natural History of the Creation of the World, with its changes to the subsidence of the flood and Noah."
