He graduated from Princeton in 1896, did graduate study there in electricity, and in about 1900 went to work in the General Electric Company’s testing laboratory in Schenectady, New York. A year later he went to Canada as a supervisor of electrical installations; he also worked for a year with a power company in Georgia. On his return to Rochester in 1905, he was appointed New York State zoologist. In 1910, he began work in Ward’s Natural Science Establishment, of which his father was then president. After his father’s death in 1927, he himself directed the Establishment until 1931, since when he had been chairman of the board.
