History

During the American Association of Academies of Science meeting in December 1923, a group led by E.M. Gress, C.R. Orton, and W.A. McCubbin was formed to determine interest in starting an Academy of Science in Pennsylvania. The efforts that included 2,000 questionnaires culminated in a meeting held on April 18, 1924, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and led by Frank D. Kern and S.H. Derickson. Officers including Otto Jennings (President), C.E. McClung (Vice-President), Joseph S. Illick (Secretary), T.L. Guyton (Assistant-Secretary), [Dunn Kern|Frank D. Kern] (Treasurer), George H. Ashley (Editor), and J.P. Kelley (Press Secretary) were elected and two committees were formed Nominating and Constitution. Later that year, an Executive Meeting was held in the Senate Caucus Room in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on November 28, 1924, where Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot attended. The First Annual Meeting was held from April 10 to 11, 1925 in the Senate Caucus Room, and the Constitution of the Academy was adopted.

The early members were prominent in Pennsylvania Science. Otto E. Jennings was a Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and a Curator at the Carnegie Museum. Frank D. Kern was a Professor at the then Pennsylvania State College and now has a graduate building named after him. Gifford Pinchot, who at the time was Governor of Pennsylvania, was also the first director the United States Forest Service and a forester to George Vanderbilt in Asheville, North Carolina.
