Herma Hill Kay received a J.D. at the University of Chicago Law School in 1959. She was the Barbara Nachtrieb Armstrong Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, where she was Dean of the Law School from 1992-2000. Kay was only the second woman hired on the Berkeley Law faculty - when the first announced her plans to retire. But by the time Kay stepped down as dean, the student body was more than 50 percent female. That figure stood at 10 percent in 1969. "[Kay's] mentoring of women law students and young faculty opened the door to legal careers that simply did not exist before she and other women of her generation began to imagine them," wrote Berkeley emerita law professor Eleanor Swift in a 2016 article in the California Law Review. "The women law professors whom she mentored throughout her career constitute her enduring legacy to the law and to legal education." Kay's influence goes far beyond the legal academy, however. She was a driving force behind California's 1969 adoption of so-called no-fault divorce, when she sat on the state's Commission on The Family. California was the first to adopt the rule, which has since been embraced by nearly every other state. She also co-authored the Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act, which provides a national standard for no-fault divorce.
She was a recipient of the Research Award from the American Bar Foundation, the Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Distinction award of the ABA Commission on Women in the Profession, and the Marshall-Wythe Medal. She was the author (with M. West) of Text, Cases, and Materials on Sex-Based Discrimination (6th edition, 2006); and of (with D. Currie, L. Kramer and K. Roosevelt) Conflict of Laws: Cases, Comments, Questions, (7th edition, 2006). Herma Hill Kay was a recognized leader in legal education and also a productive scholar in the important fields of family law, sex-based discrimination, and conflict of laws. Except for visiting professorships elsewhere, she spent her entire 45-year career at the University of California, Berkeley. She presided over such national organizations as the Association of American Law Schools, the Trustees of the Russell Sage Foundation, and the National Order of the Coif and was a valued, long-time member of the Council of the American Law Institute. Her writings in family law won her the prestigious Research Award of the American Bar Foundation in 1990. She was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2000. Herma Hill Kay died June 10, 2017, at age 82, in Berkeley, California. | |

John Kearsley, Sr. (c. 4 June 1684–11 January 1772) was a surgeon, physician, and public officeholder, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1768. Born in Greatham, County Durham, England, he trained in medicine before immigrating to Philadelphia in 1711. Upon arriving he began a long and successful career in medicine and devoted his energies to public health issues, in particular advocating for inoculation. Kearsley trained APS members Thomas Cadwalader, Cadwalader Evans, and Thomas and Phineas Bond; and he treated APS members Edward Shippen and Israel Pemberton. He was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1722 and then re-elected annually through 1740. In addition to medicine and public office, he pursued interests in natural history and astronomy within the intellectual community afforded by the APS and the Library Company of Philadelphia. His life-long passion, however, was Christ Church. Kearsley served as a vestryman there for over fifty years and was instrumental in overseeing the construction of its new building, finally completed in 1744. Upon his death, he left inheritances to his wife, his nephew APS member John Kearsley, Jr., and other family members. But he bequeathed the bulk of his estate to the United Churches of Christ Church and St. Peters in order to establish Christ Church Hospital (now the Kearsley Rehabilitation and Nursing Center).

John Kearsley, Jr. ( c. 7 July 1724-November 1777) was a physician and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1768. Born in Sedgefield in County Durham in England, Kearsley came to Pennsylvania as a young man, most likely to study medicine under his uncle and APS member, John Kearsley, Sr. By 1746, Kearsley, Jr. had established a medical practice and, while never the foremost doctor in Philadelphia, his business was prosperous. Chief among his curatives was therapeutic bathing, a practice he developed at the springs near his country home in Northern Liberties. In 1774 Kearsley joined a small number of local physicians who volunteered to fight the scourge of smallpox by offering free inoculations to the communities most in need of it. As a physician, he enjoyed the esteem of his peers and trained students, including future APS member William Currie. Outwardly, he appears to have established himself as a respected man in his professional and social circles: he subscribed to the Silk Society, he was an original member of Philadelphia’s Medical Society, and he joined a number of benevolent and fraternal organizations. And yet, Kearsley’s behavior suggests, at the very least, deep financial insecurities. He invested his time and money into a series of side ventures to raise additional funds and pursued two separate legal cases to win monetary claims, including contesting his uncle’s will. The American Revolution brought only outrage and violence for the doctor. While Kearsley did sign the Non-Importation Agreement in 1765, his loyalties were clearly with the Crown and he clearly expressed the sentiment. In the fall of 1775 local supporters of independence, intent on intimidating the described “violent Loyalist,” carted him through the streets while a mob pelted his home with stones, broke in, and destroyed furniture. Bloodied but unbowed, Kearsley conspired with others and wrote to ministers of state in England. In these letters, Kearsley and company urged parliament to send troops to Philadelphia and enclosed a map of the Delaware River and Bay, complete with the locations of military defenses. Acting on a tip, the Committee of Safety intercepted these letters on October 6, 1775 and arrested Kearsley the same day. He spent a year at the York County jail before the Council of Safety moved him to Carlisle in October of 1776. He died a year later in November of 1777. (PI) | |

Dr. Charles D. Keeling has been associated with Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, University of California, San Diego since 1956. He has been
a professor of oceanography since 1968. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania,
in April 1928, he received a B.A. degree in chemistry from the University
of Illinois in 1948 and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Northwestern University
in 1954. Prior to joining Scripps Institution, Dr. Keeling was a postdoctoral
fellow in geochemistry at the California Institute of Technology.
Keeling's major areas of interest include the geochemistry of carbon and
oxygen and other aspects of atmospheric chemistry, with an emphasis on the
carbon cycle in nature. He has promoted the study of complex relationships
between the carbon cycle and changes in climate. The Keeling record of the
increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide measured at Mauna Loa, Hawaii and at
other "pristine air" locations, represents an important time series data for
the study of global change. Keeling also has studied the role of oceans in
modulating the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide by carrying out
extremely accurate measurements of carbon dissolved in seawater.
Keeling and his colleagues also have undertaken significant efforts in global
carbon cycle modeling. As an example, in 1996, Keeling, with his colleagues at
Scripps, showed that the amplitude of the Northern Hemispheric seasonal cycle
in atmospheric carbon dioxide has been increasing, providing independent
support for the conclusion that the growing season in beginning earlier,
perhaps in response to global warming.
While at Scripps, Keeling has been a Guggenheim Fellow at the Meteorological
Institute, University of Stockholm, Sweden (1961-62), and a guest professor
at both the Second Physical Institute of the University of Heidelberg, Germany
(1969-70), and the Physical Institute of the University of Bern, Switzerland
(1979-80).
In 2002, President George W. Bush presented Keeling with the National Medal of
Science, the nation's highest award for lifetime achievement in scientific
research.
He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American
Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences,
and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He is the recipient of the
1980 Second Half Century Award of the American Meteorology Society and the Blue
Planet Prize awarded in 1993 by the Science Council of Japan. He received a
Special Achievement Award in 1997, presented by Vice President, Albert Gore,
the National Medal of Science in 2001, presented by President George Bush, and
the Tyler Prize for contributions to global environment science in 2005. | |
