Palmer Chamberlaine Ricketts ALMER CHAMBERLAINE RICKETTS, C.E., was born in Elkton, Cecil County, Md., on January 17, 1856. His family subsequently removed to Princeton, N. J., where he was prepared for college by a Princeton tutor. In September, 1871, he came to Troy and entered the Institute. He graduated in 1875, and in September of the same year was appointed assistant in Mathematics and Astronomy. During the sum- mers of 1876 and 1877, he was Assistant Engineer on the Troy and Boston Railroad. He became, in 1882, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, which position he held until 1884, when he was appointed to the William Howard Hart chair of Rational and Technical Mechanics. He was Consulting Bridge Engineer for the Troy and Boston Rail- road from 1886 to 1887, and from 1887 to 1891, he held a similar position on the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad. In 1891 he was appointed Engineer to the Public Improvement Commission of Troy, in which he remained until 1893. He was elected at various times to membership in several scientific societies, notably, the American Society of Civil Engineers. In 1892 he was elected Director of the Institute in place of Prof. David Greene. Finally, in 1901, he became President of the Institute, upon retirement from that office by Mr. Peck. President Ricketts is now in name as well as in fact the head of the Institute, and it is our earnest wish that he may long continue so.
