FRANK MORTON CARPENTER (1902-1994):
ACADEMIC BIOGRAPHY AND LIST OF PUBLICATIONS 18 Hamilton Rd., Arlington, MA 02174
The present paper is meant to accompany the preceding one by Elizabeth Brosius, Assistant Editor at the University of Kansas, Paleontological Institute, who was extremely instrumental in aid- ing Prof. Frank Carpenter to finish his Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology volumes on fossil insects. The Brosius paper is a brief profile taken from her personal interaction with Prof. Carpen- ter as well as numerous interviews about him with his friends, stu- dents, and colleagues. The present paper is intended to be more of an account of Prof. Carpenter's academic background and accom- plishments with the addition of some personal and academic accounts of the author's interaction with Frank Carpenter. Frank Morton Carpenter was born in Boston on 6 September 1902. When he was three years old his family (father Edwin A. and mother Maude Wall) moved from Boston to Revere and at age six his family moved to Melrose where he began to attend Lincoln School the following year. His father worked for the American Express Company but had a strong interest in natural history and taught his elder son (Edwin, four years older than Frank) about the constellations. Edwin later graduated from Harvard, studied astronomy, and became Director of the Astronomical Laboratory at the University of Arizona in Tucson. When Frank Carpenter was a sixth grader at Lincoln School his father encouraged his interest in butterflies and moths. In ninth grade Frank Carpenter began taking out books about insects from the Melrose Public Library. The pre- ceding paper by Brosius relates the story about his early stimula- tion concerning fossil insects and his first meeting of the Cambridge Entomological Club. Frank Carpenter began Harvard University as a Freshman in 1922 and graduated with an A.B. magna cum laude in 1926 and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He Manuscript received 15 April 1994.

immediately began a graduate program under the direction of Prof. William Morton Wheeler, receiving a masters degree (S.M.) in 1927 and a D.Sc. in 1929. His graduate thesis concerned the fossil ants of North America and was published as a Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) in 1930 (see list below). Frank Carpenter's professional career at Harvard University began by his being appointed as a Research Fellow in Applied Biology (1928), supported by a three year National Research Council postdoctoral grant, and continued with the following appointments: Associate in Entomology, MCZ (1931); Assistant Curator of Invertebrate Palaeontology, MCZ (1932); Instructor in Zoology (1935); Curator of Fossil Insects, MCZ (1936); Assistant Professor of Palaeontology, MCZ (1936); Associate Professor of Entomology, MCZ (1939); Member of the Board of Freshman Advisers (1 942-1 946, 1963-1 965); Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology (1945) [four appointments for five years each and a final one for four years, all consecutively, 1950, 1955, 1960, 19651'; Acting Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (1946); Acting Director of University Extension (1954, 1958, 1964-1966); Chairman of the Evolutionary Biology Training Grant Committee (1965-1973); Fisher Professor of Natural History (1969) and Emeritus (1973); President of Phi Beta Kappa (1970-1971); Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology Emeritus (1973); Honorary Curator of Fossil Insects, MCZ (1973). The fossil insect collections at Harvard's MCZ are second in importance only to those at the Institute of Palaeontology of the Russian Academy of Science (Moscow). This excellence was due to Frank Carpenter, the only curator of these collections, including during the last 20 years of his life as (voluntary) Honorary Curator. Frank had a very good relationship with his Russian colleagues and, through collaboration and two visits to Moscow, he amassed a superb library of Russian paleoentomology literature. For almost 40 years Frank Carpenter taught entomology, pale- ontology, and related subjects at Harvard. He never took a sabbati- cal! His famous year-long course in entomology stimulated many students, a number of whom went on to become professional ento- ' According to Frank Carpenter, the Agassiz family bequest stated that if someone was appointed to an Agassiz Professorship for five consecutive terms of five years each, then that person was entitled to receive a salary for life.

mologists. As Edward 0. Wilson wrote (1976, J. Paleontology 50(3):549-550), Frank Carpenter was the "embodiment of ento- mology at Harvard" and played a "role as paterfamilias of the Har- vard entomological community." Carpenter was chairman of the Department of Biology from 1952-1959, an important period of biological development at Harvard. Frank Carpenter was also a devoted teacher at the Harvard Extension School for more than 30 years, longer than any other professor, and besides being Acting Director several times, he was renowned for stimulating the inter- est of many students in insects and he considered this a very fulfill- ing experience.
Frank Carpenter's influence in evolutionary biology was also recognized outside Harvard. During, and even after, his official academic career at Harvard he was awarded a number of research grants, especially from the National Science Foundation. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and its Vice President from 1961 to 1963 and President of the National Scientific Research Society (Sigma Xi) from 1955 to 1957. In 1975 he was awarded the Paleontology Society Medal and in 1983 was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. Finally, in 1993 he received the Thomas Say Award from the Ento- mological Society of America (Fig. 1).
As Robin Wootton, a close colleague of Frank Carpenter's, described him (1994, Antenna 18(2):56-58): "Simply, he was the greatest ever palaeoentomologist." Carpenter conducted research on fossil insects for almost 70 years, specializing in insects from the Paleozoic Era, an especially significant time, when many entire orders and families were completely different from the modern ones, unlike the Mesozoic. Carpenter particularly concentrated on the Permian and Carboniferous, publishing numerous papers on the Lower Permian fauna of Elmo, Kansas; the Lower Permian of Midco, Oklahoma; and the Carboniferous of North America (espe- cially Mazon Creek, Illinois). However, he also published impor- tant works on other periods, e.g., Miocene shales of Florissant, Colorado and studies of amber from the Tertiary Baltic and Creta- ceous Canadian deposits. Carpenter described one of the most famous fossil insects, a dragonfly from Elmo, with a wingspan of about 29 inches, Meganeuropsis americana Carpenter 1947, the largest insect ever known (Fig. 2).

Carpenter also produced many papers on extant insects, particu- larly Newoptera, Raphidiodea and Mecoptera. One of his best known entomological contributions was as coauthor of the Ciassift- cation of Insects (1954) with C. T. Bmes and A. L. Melander. This book was one of the first to offer keys and literature for all extant

insect families (and often subfamilies) worldwide, and it also con- tained sections on other terrestrial arthropods and extinct insects. After his retirement in 1973, Frank Carpenter concentrated on completing the Treatise of fossil insects, while continuing to vol- untarily care for the MCZ fossil insect collection, editing Psyche, and coordinating the smooth progress of the Cambridge Entomo- logical Club (he was still its Treasurer, parliamentarian, and father figure). In these efforts he was tirelessly assisted by his devoted wife of 62 years, Ruth Skace Carpenter (Fig. 3). Frank Carpenter was certainly the most important person in the history of the Cambridge Entomological Club. This society and its journal (Psyche), founded in 1874, are the second oldest entomo- logical society and journal in the United States; only the American Entomological Society (Entomological Society of Philadelphia), founded in 1859, and its journal (Transactions started in 1866) are older. Frank Carpenter held the following positions in the Cam- bridge Entomological Club: Secretary (1927); Associate Editor (1 927-1 946); Vice President (1928, 1936, 1939); President (1929, 1930, 1940); Treasurer (1944-1989); Editor (1947-1990). As both Treasurer for 46 years and Associate Editor and Editor for 64 years, Frank Carpenter basically was the Cambridge Entomologi- cal Club for almost five decades. It is unlikely that anyone will ever be of equal importance to this society. In addition, Carpenter gave over 50 presentations at regular meetings of the Club. Frank Carpenter became a formal member of the Club during his Fresh- man year at Harvard (1922); however, he began attending meetings several years earlier while still in high school. In honor of his 70 years of membership, the 1991-1992 Club program of monthly speakers was dedicated to Frank Carpenter, and the final issue of volume 99 of Psyche was dedicated to him. I met Frank Carpenter during the summer of 1971 while I was a graduate student in entomology at Cornell University. At Cornell Prof. William L. Brown, Jr. (a former student of Carpenter's) and I had struggled to determine a brachypterous brown lacewing, Psec- tra diptera (Burmeister) (Hemerobiidae), which I had collected years earlier at one of my favorite childhood collecting sites in Ohio. Brown advised me to show the specimen to Frank Carpenter at Harvard, which I did. Not only did I learn that this specimen represented a quite rare species, but, like so many others before

and after, I was impressed with his graciousness-he was the defi- nition of a perfect gentleman; that is, polite, gracious, modest, gen- erous, and always well dressed.
I had the privilege of becoming a close colleague as well as per- sonal friend of Frank Carpenter during his final years, taking over from him the editorship of Psyche and many of the responsibilities of the Cambridge Entomological Club. Frank told me many inter- esting stories about Harvard, the MCZ and its former directors, colleagues, students, and events. After hearing many of Frank's colleagues, students, and friends reminisce about the wonderful stories he told at his famous weekly teas, I decided to tape-record (audio) Frank telling these stories. These tapes have been deposited at the Harvard University Archives. It was a great honor and thrill for me to have been close with so great an entomologist as Frank Carpenter.
In his home town of Lexington, Massachusetts, on 18 January 1994, in his 92nd year, Frank Morton Carpenter became extinct. With this loss, the Department of Entomology at the MCZ of Har- vard University and the world of entomology and paleontology will never be the same.
