	Railsback's Graduate Students and their Academic Lineage
		Hall was the progenitor of the concepts of geosynclines and isostasy.
		One historical account notes that "Hall carried on an immense correspondence, hurried, hypochrondriacal, irascible, irate, and nearly all of it dealing with one survey or another." One sign of his drive for geological research is his participation an expedition into the Ural Mountains of Russia at the age of 86.
		James Woodhouse (1770-1809; M.D. University of Pennsylvania, 1792).

	The reincarnation of James Eights, Antarctic Explorer
		It was not at all the practise of the Hudson Valley Dutch to translate their surnames, after the manner of the French Canadians in America; but, at all events, the family stock was from Holland several generations before the birth of the scion whose name we desire to rescue from oblivion.
		James Eights was the son of Dr. Jonathan Eights, in his day a well known Physician in Albany, and Jonathan was the son of Abraham, whose obvious Piety won for him among his town folk the sobriquet of "Father" Eights.
		James was born in Albany in 1798 in his father's fine Dutch house, which stood on the corner of North Pearl and Columbia streets, just opposite what is now the Kenmore Hotel, in the heart of the city's business district.

	125 Years of Chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
		The teaching of chemistry was turned over to his pupil James Hall (1811-97), for 62 years (1835-97) State Geologist of New York.
		Besides chemistry, Hall also taught “physiology, including the elements of organic chemistry.” In Hall’s time the tuition had gone up to $45 a year, board and lodging to $3 a week, while extra expenses in chemistry amounted to $8.
		Hall was succeeded in 1841 by another of Eaton’s pupils, George H. Cook (1818-89), a C.E. and B.N.S. of the class of 1839, described in the catalog of 1841 as “an experienced chemist, who has been a successful teacher a t this Institute for 3 terms.”

The literal interpretation of the Bible was becoming increasingly difficult to integrate into scientific observations of the earth and solar system.
		James Hutton (1726-1797), considered the father of historical geology, was also a Scotsman.
		It was Hall who systematically worked out the fossil sequences in the Niagara Gorge during 1837-1843 (J. Clarke in Grabeau, 1901).

		A leading invertebrate paleontologist and one of the pioneers in using organic remains to date strata, Conrad participated in five of the explorations and surveys, published widely (appropriately anonymous verse as well as scientific reports), and, no doubt to his surprise, lived to a ripe age.
		Hall played an active role in the formation of the American Association of Geologists and Naturalists and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was an original member of the National Academy of Sciences.
		James Hall wrote up the geology and paleontology, Torrey the botany, and J.W. Bailey (United States Exploring Expedition, 1838) the infusoria.

		The issue was over a geological chart created by James T. Foster, a local schoolteacher, which claimed to accurately depict a vertical slice of the earth.
		Agassiz called Foster's chart a "monstrous map," declaring that "its mere circulation would be considered abroad as a disgrace to American geologists..." Hall published a critical letter by Agassiz, as well as one of his own, in the Albany newspapers.
		Foster, saying he was "greatly injured in his good name," subsequently sued both Agassiz and Hall for libel, demanding $20,000 and $40,000, respectively, in damages.

		Barrande with his immense authority as a paleontologist, began his lucid and logical presentation by deploring that “our teachers Murchisom and Sedgwick had, neither one, cultivated anything but the field of stratigraphy, and both had neglected that of paleontology”.

		Hayden was born in Westfield, Massachusetts, in 1829, the son of Asa and Melinda (Hawley) Hayden.
		During his years in Albany, he became the friend of James Hall, the New York state paleontologist, who introduced the young medical student to the increases in understanding of ancient history made as a result of evidence gleaned from the discovery of fossils.

		At that time, AMNH possessed only a small collection of vertebrate fossils, and it was not until the arrival of Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1891 that the Paleontology collections began their first period of substantial growth.
		In recent years, AMNH vertebrate paleontologists Michael Novacek and Mark Norell have reestablished the long standing ties between the Museum and Central Asia, making a remarkable series of discoveries in Mongolia which are providing new insights into the evolution of birds, dinosaurs and mammals.
		Currently, the department is overseen by two leading invertebrate paleontologists: Niles Eldredge (1969-present) who studies the systematics of trilobites and evolutionary theory and Neil H. Landman (1982-present), a specialist in modern and fossil cephalopods.

		Many of these were first described by the illustrious New York State Paleontologist James Hall, in his classic volumes of the 19
		However, volcanic ashes that are present in New York rocks are now being dated by uranium-lead radiometric techniques, and an increasingly precise geochronology (i.e., the actual age of rocks) is being applied to the state’s rocks.
		With the ability to correlate rocks globally, New York geologists and paleontologists contribute to a better understanding of the impact of major events (for instance, mass extinctions, meteorite impacts, and sea level and climate change) in the history of the planet.

		He had no geologist, but he collected fossils anyway which were later described by James Hall (Hall 1845; Hall and Fremont 1845).
		Up to this time, the geology of California had been generally ignored, although Philip Tyson and James Dana had traveled through the region, and they immediately reported on the geology of the deposits and of California (Dana 1849; Tyson 1850).
		This work included observations on the geology, geography and natural history of the state (Farquhar 1940), as well as the collection of fossils all over the state and even beyond and the study of fossils contributed by individuals (Trask, Mills, Voy) and those held by the California Academy of Sciences.
