Clarke, sometimes known as the "Father of Geochemistry," is credited with determining the composition of the Earth's crust. He was a founder of The American Chemical Society and served as its president. Two years after taking a bachelor's degree at Harvard College, in 1867, he was appointed instructor in chemistry at Cornell University, near which these photographs were taken. Some of the prints are signed in the negative by regional photographer J. C. Burritt, whose photographs (more than 100 stereo views) were featured in the series "Scenery About Ithaca." N. B.
