JOSEPH HENRY BICENTENNIAL
17 December 1997
Special Events in Albany NY, Galway NY, Schenectady NY, Washington D.C.
and Princeton NJ.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Joseph Henry was the greatest American scientist born between the days
of Franklin and the Civil War.  Born in Albany NY, Henry later moved and
attended school in Galway NY. The school now bears his name.  He
transferred to the Albany Academy and graduated with honors, having
meanwhile become a teacher there himself and lecturing at the
newly-established Renesselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy NY. Union
College in Schenectady granted Joseph Henry an honorary masters degree
in 1829.

Joseph Henry developed and created the modern electromagnet, the first
telegraph, the first electric motor, the first electrical transformer,
the first industrial application of electricity with his iron ore
extractor in Ironville NY, and he discovered the phenomenon of induction
which is now measured in units of "Henrys".  50 years before Marconi
introduced his practical radio, the first recorded experiments on radio
transmission were pioneered and conducted by Joseph Henry while at
Princeton University.  Today the telephone, radio, television, magnetic
resonance imaging and the digital electronic computer are ALL based on
Joseph Henry's accomplishments.

Joseph Henry consulted with Congress and formulated the plan of
operation for the creation of the Smithsonian Institution and became
it's first secretary. One of Lincoln's primary advisors during our Civil
War, Joseph Henry was chosen by Lincoln as one of the founding members
of the National Academy of Sciences and later was appointed it's
president. Joseph Henry was also the Father of what is today the
National Weather Service.
