| Summary: | On October 29, 1957, word was received by the Institute of the death of Richard Hubley while leading the International Geophysical Year glaciological program on McCall Glacier, Brooks Range, Alaska. Dr. Hubley's death has come at a time when he has assumed national - and even international - leadership in his chosen field. North American science has been slow in building a coterie of scientists in the field of glaciology. Of those we have, Richard Hubley was one of the most distinguished. Science can as ill afford his loss as can we who knew him as a companion in the office and among the high snows. |
