CAETANO LANZA , Q'iii-g,gfgfQ',gLifg'1LAETANO LANZA was born in Boston, 1VIassachusetts, on September 26, 1848. His parents were Cavaliere l I I l gg T 1 Gaetano Lanza, of Palermo, Sicily, and Mary Ann flu-+9 5215! CPaddockj Lanza, of Pomfret, Vermont. I PA Mx A --1554 sa, .,. , 1 Q 'L iffrgj-:gift 15 1. 5 The son resided in Boston with his parents for eleven lr years, and in 1859 the family removed to Charlottes- ,, g az . . . . ville, Virginia, where the young man was sent to school. At the age of seventeen he entered the University of Virginia, and while there he particularly distinguished himself in mathematics, receiving the Courtenay Medal for his proficiency in this subject. During his last year he was appointed Assistant Instructor of lllathematics. He was graduated in June, 1870, with the degree of Bachelor of Science and of Civil and Mechanical Engineer. He continued to teach at the University during the year following graduation, and in the fall of 1871 he returned to Boston to assume his new duties as Instructor of Mathematics at Technology. The next year he was promoted to Assistant Professor, and then lie rapidly rose until in 1883 he was made Professor of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, in charge of the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, the position which he now holds. In 1891 he was married to Miss Jennie Dice hiiller, of Charlottes- ville, Virginia. Besides teaching, Professor Lanza has made many investigations upon engineering subjects, especially in the line of strength of materials, and his publications alone amount to nearly a hundred in number, thus showing a constant contribution to science covering a period of thirty-five years. Among his researches may be mentioned those upon the strength of timber of such sizes as are used in construction, the results of which have been published from time to time, mostly in papers presented to scientific and engineering societies, as well as in his book on Applied Mechanics, and are now adopted as standards by many engineers in their work and by cities in their building laws. Some of his other important investigations have been on the bal- ancing of high-speed machinery, upon reinforced concrete, upon the strength of tile arches and of full-sized locomotive connecting-rods. Professor Lanza has always been deeply interested in educational E91 4 f-sf f V. 7212: W4-...t--,f..,
