350 THE JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY VOL. 48

DR. WALLACE W. ATWOOD 1872-1949

July 24, 1949, marked the passing of Dr. Wallace W. At- wood in his 76th year. Death occurred at his summer home on Cape Ann where he had gone after returning from a trip to the Pan Pacific Science meetings in New Zealand. He was President Emeritus of Clark University, founder and Director of the Graduate School of Geography, as well as initiator of the magazine, Economic Geography.

Dr. Atwood was a masterful teacher, an artist in the class- room, and a prolific writer. His works range from textbooks for use in all grades to complex physiographic problems. The Rocky Mountains were his favorite haunt. By advice and example-first at Chicago, then Harvard and finally at Clark -he directed the host of students whose privilege it was to know and study with him. The annual fall field camp which has been an integral part of the Graduate program of Clark University’s School of Geography attests to his belief and desire that true geographic training begins in and returns to the field.

All scholars in scientific fields and his many personal friends in this and foreign lands regret the loss of Dr. At- wood’ international outlook and goodwill as well as his warm cordiality. The work of his life stands as a monadnock in the landscape of his generation.
