EDUCATION
In 1929 the Guggenheim Fund for the
Promotion of Aeronautics made a grant to
the College of Applied Science of Syracuse
University for the purchase of equipment
in carrying out photographic surveying
and mapping. In 1936 the University ob-
tained Multiplex stereoplotting equip-
ment and began training students in the
practical aspects of photogrammetric map.
This was the beginning of photogrammetry
in U. S. universities.
About twenty years ago there were only
two schools which taught photogram-
metry; one was at Syracuse University
and the other was the Institute of Geo-
graphical Exploration at Harvard. Since
then, at least 16 American schools devel-
oped a separate course in photogrammetry
and 75 schools gave photogrammetry as a
separate section of another course.
The trend in higher education for ad-
vanced work and research in photogram-
metry led to the formation in 1947 of the
Mapping and Charting Research Lab-
oratory at Ohio State University. Since
its establishment the Laboratory has com-
pleted technical reports for over 150 as-
signments and problems in contract re-
search. The Institute of Geodesy, Photo-
grammetry and Cartography was estab-
lished in 1951 and includes a 4 year under-
graduate preparatory course leading to
graduate work and research for both the
Masters’ and Doctors’ degrees. Both es-
tablishments at Ohio State are under the
leadership of George H. Harding.
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PHOTOGRAMMETRY
No history of photogrammetry would
be complete without listing some of the
achievements of this Society.
À dozen people met at the home of Capt.
O. S. Reading on July 29, 1934 to organize
the American Society of Photogrammetry.
Those present on this occasion besides
Capt. Reading were: R. K. Bean, C. H.
Birdseye, W. N. Brown, J. L. Buckmaster,
C. W. Collier, C. H. Davey, L. T. Eliel,
H. Gruner, T. W. McKinley, J. W. Ninne-
man and M. S. Wright. The Society was
incorporated on October 23, 1934 in the
District of Columbia as a non-profit scien-
tific and technical society. The‘first regular
meeting was held in the Department of
Interior Auditorium on August 28, 1934.
Col. C. H. Birdseye was elected the first
