TRANSCRIPT
MEMORIAL TO JOSEPH VOLNEY LEWIS1869-1969
MARL A. TRAGER
Dallas, Texas
Joseph Volney Lewis, noted geologist and
much beloved teacher, left friends behind in
all parts of the United States and Canada when
he died in White Plains, New York, on January
16, 1%9. The eldest of ten children, he was
born September 14, 1869, in Rutherford County,
North Carolina, just 12 miles from the steep
face of (he Blue Ridge Front of the Appala
chian Mountains. His father was Jay Whittington
Lewis and his mother was Mary Catherine
Bennett of Welsh ancestry. During his life of
almost a century he was active for 70 years
as a college professor and a mining and petro
leum geologist in the United States, Canada,
Venezuela and the Far East.
After receiving a B.S. degree in engineering from the University of North
Carolina he was appointed field assistant to M. R. Campbell. They studied
the coal geology and mapped Appalachian structures near Big Stone Gap,
Virginia, and adjacent areas of Kentucky and Tennessee. This project
included revision of old topographic maps.
Upon completion of this summer's work he became Assistant Geologist
for the North Carolina Geological Survey and did plane table mapping of
coal, iron ore and limestone until October 1892. During the 1892-1893
school year he was a graduate student at Harvard. By special permission
he was permitted to attend a course given by Dr. N. S. Shaler, Head of the
Department of Geology, in addition to his regular curriculum. On the basis
of this year's work he was certified for a S.B. degree in geology at Harvard.
Professor J. E. Wolf of Harvard recommended that Volney transfer to
Johns Hopkins University to study under Dr. Geo. H. Williams, who had
just completed extensive studies in microscopic examination of rocks and
crystals in Germany where progress in this field was more advanced than
in the United States. Accordingly Volney transferred to Johns Hopkins
University. He was asked to make a study of the olivine rocks of North
Carolina which the North Carolina Geological Survey agreed to underwrite
and publish. About mid-season of 1893-1894, Dr. Williams returned to
Maryland to conduct some field work, contracted malaria and died.
During the 1894-1895 school year Volney continued graduate work at
44
JOSEPH VOLNEY LEWIS 45Johns Hopkins with frequent conferences and laboratory studies at the
U.S. Geological Survey in Washington, D.C.
On December 24, 1895, he married Margaret Johnston Hendon who died
in 1937. There were 2 children, Eleanor, who married Ellis B. Cook, now
deceased, and Mary Lydia, who died in infancy. Volney leaves three grand
children, Sally, Stephan and Ellis B. Cook, Jr., and 6 great grandchildren.
Volney was one of the kindest, most affable and cooperative persons I
have ever worked with. A recent letter from a coworker illustrates his
attitude toward his coworkers and their regard for him. “It was my privilege
to work with Mr. Lewis in the complete survey of the Organ Pipe Cactus
National Monument in 1940. This mineral survey was prior to the opening
of Organ Pipe Cactus to mining. Mr. Lewis was one of the most outstanding
persons I have ever known that could explain geology to the layman in an
understandable manner. I have always considered my work with him to be
equal to at least one term of college work in geology, due to his ability
as a teacher” (Wm. R. Superinaugh, Supt.).
Volney became Professor of Geology and established a Department of
Geology at Clemson College, the newly established South Carolina College
of Agriculture and Engineering, in January 1896. To give the students the
benefit of a full college year, Clemson conducted classes during the summer
of 1896 and then gave the students a vacation during the winter months.
Volney spent the winter vacation of 1897 at Yale University where he col
laborated with J. H. Pratt on studies of secondary and accessory minerals
to peridotite. This work was continued by Pratt and in 1905 it was published
as Vol. 1 of the North Carolina Geological Survey with Lewis as co-author.
Clemson College shifted the annual vacation period from winter to summer
in 1898. Volney’s vacation this year was spent in North Carolina continuing
his studies on peridotites. The U.S. Geological Survey assigned a topo
graphic party to work with Lewis’ party under his supervision, with C. E.
Cook as Topographic Engineer. New base maps were made and frequently
the geology and topography were mapped on the same sheet.
The summers of 1899, 1900 and 1901, Lewis spent as Professor of Geology
and Geography for the South Carolina State School for Teachers. Brief consulting trips were made to inspect mining prospects, quarries and to
investigate water problems. As an Associate Geologist for the U.S. Geo
logical Survey, he spent the summer of 1902 with Arthur C. Spence investigat
ing and mapping the geology of metal mining areas, chiefly copper, in
Colorado and Wyoming.
He returned to North Carolina in the summer of 1903 and continued his
studies of the peridotites in North Carolina and Georgia, tracing the belt
to the southwest. This study was completed in the summer of 1904, at which
time he resigned his professorship at Clemson College to become Head of
the Geology Department at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
46 THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
His early summer vacations while with Rutgers were spent in special
investigations for the N. J. Geological Survey, chiefly on copper deposits.
Part time was spent in tracing the Appalachian peridotite belt from North
Carolina to the Canadian Border.
His schedules during the academic years from 1905 to 1908 were arranged
so as to permit him to take graduate work at Columbia University. At this
late date there was little thought of bringing together scattered credits for
a doctorate. The original work intended for a thesis had become greatly
expanded and published so that it could not be used for a Doctor’s thesis.
He was not interested in a Master’s Degree.
During the academic years from 1906 to 1912 Volney served as a part-time
associate of Dr. Henry S. Washington. They maintained an office in New
York City as consulting geologists and mining engineers. This terminated
when Dr. Washington accepted a position with the Geophysical Laboratory
in Washington, D.C.
During his last eleven years with Rutgers (1915-1926), his summers were
given to private exploration for ore deposits and petroleum in many parts
of the United States and Canada.
He took leave of absence from Rutgers from October 1921 to October
1922 to be in charge of sub-surface geology in Mexico for the El Aguila
Co. In the fall of 1922 he was named Assistant Dean of Students at Rutgers.
When the United States entered World War I, Volney was too old to be
drafted so he joined the New Jersey National Guard. He spent most of his
time on War Minerals. When the violent explosions of powder and ammuni
tion dumps rocked Parlin, New Jersey, his company was dispatched to
Parlin the first day. After a few days he arranged to drive back and forth
daily to meet his classes at irregular intervals.
Lewis’ geologic experience at Rutgers was very broad. He taught crystal
lography, mineralogy, determinative mineralogy, general geology, historical
geology, several required courses for ceramic students, a short course for
clay workers, economic geology, advanced mineralogy and geology, micro
scopic petrography, and physiology. All these courses were not offered at any one time. The first graduate course, which seniors could attend, was
offered in 1915 and was called Rocks and Soils. Lewis resigned from Rutgers
in 1927.
In addition to his heavy teaching and consulting schedule at Rutgers,
Volney and Mrs. Lewis gave periodic parties in their home for geology
students. They were so successful and enjoyable that the students vied for
an invitation.
Volney had a great sense of humor and he could spring it most subtley.
He also loved music, especially symphonic, and when he became too old
to move about easily he listened to classical music on radio or from records.
Early in his life at Rutgers he sang with a choral group in New Brunswick.
JOSEPH VOLNEY LEWIS 47His chief interest outside geology was philosophy. George Santayana was
a professor at Harvard while Volney was a student. They became acquainted
and corresponded in later life. Volney was much interested in his philo
sophy and read all of his publications. He was also keenly interested in
semantics and other related philosophies.
He took leave of absence from Rutgers in 1926 to accept a position as
Chief Staff Geologist in Charge of Foreign Exploration for the Gulf Oil
Corporation. Field parties were organized for combined geological and
geophysical surveys and dispatched to Columbia, Venezuela, Iraq and other
Near East areas, and finally to the East Indies. During this period the Gulf
Oil Corporation was negotiating for oil concessions in Bahrain, the Neutral
Zone, El Hasa and Kuwait. Lewis was asked his opinion at several stages
during these negotiations. On one occasion he met with Professor Madgwick
in Calgary, Canada, to discuss the geology and terrain of Bahrain Island,
since he had presented to the company a map based on a hasty study of
the surface geology.
Drilling was in progress in a number of areas being prospected by the
Gulf Oil Corporation when the depression of 1929-1930 struck. On short
notice all the parties were brought home and dismissed, including Lewis’
position as Chief, World Exploration Project.
The Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago was just getting under
way in 1931. Lewis was selected to take charge of the designing and con
struction of the Earth Science exhibits. These included diaramas of the
geology and active operations of a coal mine, a metal mine, metal milling,
smelters, oil wells, pipe lines and refineries in addition to other related
industries. The Century of Progress Exposition was open to the public in
1933 and 1934.
After the Exposition closed, the U.S. Geological Survey assigned Lewis,
with C. F. Parks, Jr., and several young assistants to investigate past and
present gold mining operations in the southern Piedmont and in the Appala
chians. This area extended from Virginia to Alabama.
Upon completion of the principal field operations, Lewis joined C. S. Ross
in a study of the geology and detailed mapping of sulfide deposits in south
western Virginia, where rich “black copper” had been mined in the 1850’s.
This work supplemented U.S. Geological Survey Prof. Paper 179 on the
paragenesis of the deposits of the Ducktown type.
In 1934, I suggested that Volney transfer from the Geological Survey to
the National Park Service, of which I was Chief Geologist and Chief of the
Naturalist Division. He was appointed Regional Geologist, Region 4, which
extended from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast, with headquarters
in San Francisco. The early years of this assignment were during the days
of the Civilian Conservation Corps. One of the duties of the geologists
was to see that no CCC project would mar any of the noteworthy features
48 THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
of the park. Volncy assisted the engineers of Region 4 in the location of
roads, the testing of foundations for buildings, dams, bridges, reservoirs
and in the search for water supplies.
While stationed in San Francisco for the National Park Service, Volney
met Mildred Leo Clemens, niece of Mark Twain, who was a publicist for
the city of San Francisco and a devotee of national parks. They were mar
ried in June 1938; she died in I960.
During Volney's many years with the National Park Service he wrote
many reports, some comprehensive, which are available only from the
files of the National Park Service. Those with which I have some famil
iarity are:
1. The Salt Deposits of the Devil's Golf Course in Death Valley.
2. A complete geological survey of Organ Pipe Cactus National M onu
ment. On a temporary loan to the Justice Department in 1941-1942 he
made a comprehensive study of the geology in selected areas of the Olympic
Peninsula, southwest of the Olympic National Park. He was checking the
possibility of there being commercial deposits of manganese or oil which
required checking surface geology, examining test pits, logs of old wells,
and examining seepages. Later he testified in Federal Court prior to the
acquisition of additional lands for the Olympic National Park by condem
nation proceedings.
3. Volney visited many caves within National Park areas and also in
areas which were proposed to be included within National Park boundaries.
He became so interested in caves that he prepared a manuscript on Caves,
Caverns and Grottos, which was never published.
4. Investigation of the Grand Canyon of the Snake River, with Anderson
and Davidson.
5. Outline of the geology of Lava Beds N ational M onum ent, with
Anderson.
6. The Modoc Lava Beds, with Anderson.
7. Craters of the Moon National Monument.
8. The Discovery and Exploration of Rampart Cave, with Chappel. This
cave contains many remains of the ground sloth which lived here from
10,000 to 55,500 years ago, in a climate somewhat cooler than today.
Volney was transferred in June 1942, from the National Park Service
to the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Mining Division as Metals and Mining Specialist.
In December 1942, Civil Service transferred him to the War Production
Board, Mining Division, as Geologist, Mining Engineer and Section Chief.
This continued until the end of the War Production Board in October 1948.
At this point Volney returned to consulting practice with headquarters
in San Francisco. His work was mostly searching for oil or gas and pros
pecting and mining for metallic ores. This work was done mostly in the
JOSEPH VOLNEY LEWIS 49rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coast. In one of his
notes he stated “I find it prudent to slacken the pace with the passing of
time.” In 1961 he decided to retire and moved to White Plains, New York,
to live with his daughter.
During his professional career he was a member of the following scientific
societies: Geological Society of America, fellow, awarded the Legion of
Honor gold pin in 1945 for 50 years membership; Mineralogical Society of
America: A.I.M.M.E.; Min. and Mining Society of America; Mineralogical
Society of America; A.A.P.G.; Pan America Institute of Mining and En
gineering Geology; New Jersey State Micro. Society, President; Society of
Economic Geologists, Secretary and Treasurer; Sec. Comm, on Sedimenta
tion-National Research Council; One of the founders and incorporators of
the first Board of Governors, of Mining Club, Inc., New York, New York;
Eng. & Mining Journal, Editor and Contributing Editor.
Honors conferred upon Lewis were: Phi Beta Kappa, Rutgers 1905; later
based on his scholarship record he received an honorary Phi Beta Kappa
at the time of installing a new chapter at the University of North Carolina;
Sigma Xi by Rutgers in 1922; Legion of Honor, A.I.M.M.E., 1945; a bio
graphical sketch of his activities was carried in Who’s Who in America
from 1910-1951.Several of his publications merit special recognition. They are: A Manual
of Determinative Mineralogy, with A. C. Hawkins, 4 eds.; The Geology of
New Jersey, with Kummel, 3 eds.; Map of New Jersey, with Kummel, 3 eds.; The Evolution of Mineral Coal, Ec. Geol., vol. 29, no. 1, p. 1-38, and Ec.
Geol., vol. 29, no. 2, p. 157-202. A complete list of his Bibliography follows.
And so endeth the life of a very active geologist, one who was friendly,
kind and an inspiration to his fellow man.
Notes on Bibliography (and other things) by J. Volney Lewis
The accompanying list of publications is believed to be complete. How
ever, like most geologists of long experience, I have prepared a number
of reports and manuscripts with the view to eventual publication. Some
have languished in the vaults of state and U.S. Government bureaus, chiefly
U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service, which generally have
more material available than funds for publication.
Some have been held too long as “classified” or have been lost in the
files of mining and oil corporations. Some that are not yet lost nor entirely
outdated may some day see the light. If one of these should be dusted off
50 THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
I shall hope for opportunity to bring it in some measure up to date or,
better still, I shall try to persuade one of my many capable young assistants,
now grown into maturity and loaded with responsibility, to take a new look
at the fields of our ancient endeavors.
Fortunately, through most of this half-century, geologists have grown
increasingly aware of a favorable change of attitude in many fields of mining,
particularly in the larger operations in metals, oil, and gas. The credit for
this more liberal view is due in large measure to the geologists themselves,
many of whom have consistently advocated and encouraged the reading,
discussion and publication of papers that present scientific data and con
clusions, even though strictly these are the property of the corporations
whose research has brought them forth.
Such far-seeing leadership is yielding reciprocal advantages of greater
value to all concerned than did the old myopic tradition of absolute secrecy.
It advances not only the science of geology but eventually also the general
welfare.
Perhaps we may reasonably anticipate the time, not too far in the future,
when reports of merit will neither be buried in files nor held too long in
secret.
