NOTE TO THE FIRST EDITION
This booklet owes its existence to the initial effort by Dr. Robert Bowman who, in 1987, as-
sembled the portraits of the past presidents of the Pacific Division AAAS for a showcase display
in the Library at San Francisco State University during the Division’s annual meeting in June of
that year. The portraits and a brief history of the Division were then published in 1994 in the Pro-
ceedings of the Pacific Division AAAS (vol. 13, pt. 1, 8 pp. [unnumbered]), which also contained
the program with abstracts of the Division’s 1994 annual meeting, again held at San Francisco
State University, June 19–24.
It was decided to update the portrait file with the addition of images of Division presidents
serving to the end of the 20th century, in several cases to substitute new images for those that
were used before, and to supplement the 1994 materials with additional information about the
Division and its officers.
The Division has deposited its archival records for the period 1910–1998, including the por-
trait collection of its presidents, with the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley,
California. For those interested in learning more about this collection and the part played by the
Division in fostering cooperation and communication about science among scientists, students,
and the public in the Pacific Region, a finding aid to the collection, prepared by Dr. Michele
Aldrich, is available on the Bancroft Library’s website.
Addendum (2002): Additional portraits that have been added since the original publication
have been provided courtesy the Archives and Special Collections of the California Academy of
Sciences and the GS Myers/AE Leviton Biographical & Portrait File in the Natural Sciences,
also at the California Academy of Sciences.

In 1910, a group of West Coast scientific societies came to-
gether to form the Pacific Association of Scientific Societies
(PASS). Twenty-one organizations, mostly regional sections of
national societies, became affiliates of this fledgling umbrella
organization. In late 1912, in preparation for the 1915 annual
meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science (AAAS), scheduled to be held in San Francisco,
AAAS established the Pacific Coast Committee of AAAS to
handle logistics and program planning. In late December of
that year, the Council of AAAS decided to recognize the com-
mittee as the Pacific Division of AAAS and on 21 April 1914 it
voted to emend the AAAS Constitution to accommodate the
change and ratify the Division’s new Constitution. Within
months, the Pacific Association of Scientific Societies, its
membership overlapping that of the Pacific Division AAAS,
proposed that it merge with the Division. During the next 12
months, most of the PASS affiliates ratified the new arrange-
ment. Among them were the Cordilleran Section of the Geo-
logical Society of America, Pacific Coast Section of the
Paleontological Society, Seismological Society of America,
California Academy of Sciences, Pacific Slope Association of
Economic Entomologists, Astronomical Society of the Pacific
Coast, Cooper Ornithological Club, Northern and Southern Di-
visions, California and Puget Sound Sections of the American
Chemical Society, San Francisco Section of the Archaeological
Institute of America, San Francisco Section of the American
Mathematical Society, San Diego Society of Natural History,
and the Western Society of Naturalists.
Initially, the Division’s region included the states of Wash-
ington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona,
the territory of Alaska, the Canadian Province of British Co-
lumbia, and the Hawaiian Islands. The original intent had been
to include the Philippine Islands as well as all other islands in
the Pacific Basin, and Mexico, but these intentions were not to
be fulfilled for many years, and then only partially so.
With the establishment of the Southwest and Rocky Moun-
tain Division (SWARM) in 1920, Arizona was transferred from
the Pacific to the SWARM Division, and, in 1951, following
the first Alaska Science Conference held the previous year,
Alaska and the two boreal/Arctic territories of Canada, Yukon
and Northwest Territories, formed the Alaskan Division, re-
named the Arctic Division in 1982. In 1993, the Council of
AAAS, having approved the addition of the Canadian Province
of Alberta to the Pacific Division’s region in 1983, and in rec-
ognition of the Association’s expanding international interests,
at the Division’s request, allowed that all countries bordering or
lying within the Pacific Basin, save those countries that had al-
ready been assigned to other Divisions of the Association,
should be brought into the Pacific Division’s fold, thus fulfill-
ing the original intentions of the Division’s founders nearly 80
years earlier.
In the years since its founding, the Pacific Division of
AAAS, the senior of the four Divisions of AAAS, a Carribean
Division having been authorized in 1985, has held annual
meetings every year save during the First and Second World
Wars. It has sponsored a publications program, its first book
having been published in 1915, and then, following a hiatus of
many decades, its second through nineteenth between 1979
and 1998.
In 1915, the Division met with for the first time jointly with
its new parent when national AAAS held its first-ever annual
meeting in San Francisco as part of the Pan American Exposi-
tion activities of that year. The following year, it held its first in-
dependent meeting, in San Diego. Since then, the Division has
held meetings annually, nearly always on university campuses
throughout the Far est, where it has enjoyed the hospitality of
many of the nation’s ranking institutions of higher learning.
The Division’s meetings, though designed to provide a forum
for the discussion of scientific problems of regional concern,
are not constrained to regional issues, and more often than not
they promote symposia and other paper sessions that take on is-
sues of far wider import, many global in scope. In addition,
from the beginning, the Division has been sensitive to the
needs of students, and to this day it offers them a unique oppor-
tunity to participate in highly professional programs where
seasoned professionals and novices meet one another in a re-
laxed yet challenging environment.
The Division’s success over the years is perhaps best exem-
plified by the many distinguished scientists who have given
freely of their time and energies in its behalf. They have served
as officers, chaired committees, organized sessions, indeed,
even the meetings themselves, have presented papers, and, last
but not least, have encouraged their students to do the same.
The list of Division Presidents is a who’s who of distinguished
scientists, past and present, John C. Merriam, John C. Branner,
H. U. Sverdrup, Arthur H. Sturtevant, Melvin Calvin, Garrett
Hardin, Linus Pauling, Richard Walker, Mildred Mathias,
Richard Jahns, Emanuel Epstein, Dael Wolfle, Estella
Leopold, Luna Leopold, and J. Thomas Dutro, Jr., to name a
few of the many whose portraits are to be found on the follow-
ing pages.
The success of the Pacific Division AAAS is the result of
many factors, the people who help organize its meetings, those
who participate through the presentation of papers, the elected
officers and members of its committees, its tolerance of contro-
versial programs where balance insures that both popular and
unpopular views may be laid upon the table for open discussion
and criticism, its publications, and, not the least, the support
given by the national AAAS, its Executive Officer, its Board of
Directors, and its staff.
The Division is passing a milestone, its 85th birthday and its
80th annual meeting. The 100th anniversary of its founding is
not too far off!
