              -------------
 
The following sketch of Mr. Frank B. Maltby, 
whose name is so well known in the engineering 
world will be of interest to all the descendants. 

Mr. Maltby graduated from the University of 
Illinois in 1882, and was given an honorary 
degree in 1907. since leaving the University 
Mr. Maltby has followed the engineering profession 
and has been connected with railroad construction 
and work under the government on the Mississippi 
and Missouri Rivers. From 1902 to 1905 Mr. Maltby 
was in charge of all dredging operations on the 
Mississippi River below Cairo and at this time 
had under his direction the largest dredge plant 
in the world. 

In 1905 Mr. Maltby went to Panama as a dredging 
expert I charge of all dredging operations and 
was afterwards made Division Engineer and then 
Principal assistant Engineer under Mr. Jno. F. 
Stevens, Chief Engineer of the Isthmian Canal 
Commission.
 
After the canal construction was turned over to 
the army engineers Mr. Maltby resigned and is now 
chief engineer for the firm of Dodge and Day, of 
Philadelphia. 

While in the service of the canal commission Mr. 
Maltby designed and built the dredges now in use 
in constructing the canal. This plant has cost about 
a million and a half dollars. 

Mr. Maltby’s work also included the construction of 
wharves and docks and beginning the construction of 
the great Gatun lock and dam. He also built a cold 
storage plant, laundry and a bakery on the Isthmus.
 
Mr. Maltby’s work is so well known, and his fame as 
a hydraulic engineer and an expert on all classes of 
dredging operations, is so widespread, that any 
remarks of the writer would be superfluous. 

Dodge and Day, for whom Mr. Maltby is chief 
engineer, now have the contract for the erection 
of the largest cableway plant in the world for 
handling material at Gatun on the Isthmus.

We take pleasure in being able to print for the 
members, the following short sketch of Miss Margaret 
E. Maltby, the only woman professor at Columbia 
University. 

Miss Maltby’s degrees are : Oberlin A. B. (1882); 
A M. (1891; Mass. Institute of Technology, S. B.

(1895.) 

The following fellowships have been held by Miss 
Maltby: Foreign Scholarship (or Fellowship) from 
Mass. Institute of Technology two years while in 
Gottingen ’93-’95. The foreign fellowship of the 
Association of Collegiate Alumnae, ’95-’96. 

Miss Maltby is a fellow of the American Association 
for the Advancement of Science, and was private 
research assistant to President Kohlbrausch of the 
Physikalisch-Technische Reichsaustalt ’98-’99. 

In 1899-1900 Miss Maltby studied at Clark University 
with Professor Webster; for four years and a half 
she taught at Wellesley College; one year at Lake 
Erie College and eight years at Barnard. 

At present Miss Maltby is Adjunct Professor in 
charge of the Department of Physics of Barnard 
Columbia University—which post she has held since 
the summer of 1903. 

We regret exceedingly that we were not fortunate 
enough to secure a photograph of Miss Maltby, as we 
know all the members would be interested to see 
their kinswoman, who has made so brilliant a record 
in the world of science.
