A ..
I don't remember anything about that particularly.
Q ..
I want to ask you about some hydrologists that you may have dealt with in the '40s
and '50s. One of them I want to ask you about is Garbis Keulegan. Remember
him?
A ..
Keulegan, I recall him. I don't know the proper way to pronounce it, but he'd been
with the Bureau of Standards for years and years, and then he was down at the
Waterways Experiment Station. He was hydraulics not hydrology. I never knew
him personally. I may have met him down at WES or someplace, but I did never
know him personally. But I knew him by reputation. He's done a lot of writing on
a special area. I don't remember just what it was now. He was wellknown.
Q ..
Let me ask you about somebody I know you know and that's Hunter Rouse.
A ..
Well, I just knew him. He was at the University of Iowa, which I mentioned before
may have gotten into hydrology very early in the game. I knew him by reputation.
I think I wrote a chapter in a book that he edited, or was it Vin T. Chow?
Q ..
Well, apparently it was his book, edited book, Engineering Hydraulics, and you did
a piece on storm runoff.
A ..
Yes, I remember writing a chapter. I wasn't sure whether it was that one. Vin T.
Chow was editor and got one out some years later, and wanted me to do a chapter
but I just didn't feel like I was up to it at that time.
Q ..
What about Rouse.
He's got a very central position in the development of
hydrology, doesn't he?
A ..
Well, he was more in hydraulics.
Q ..
Not in hydrology?
A.
A lot more in hydraulics. I don't really remember him at all as having a lot of
hydrology. That doesn't mean that he didn`t do hydrology, but I'm just not familiar
