Biography

Arthur T. Ippen (1907-1974) was a member of the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the Department of Civil Engineering. He was associated with the Institute for twenty-nine years,guiding its research and educational activities in hydrodynamics and hydraulic engineering through hisposition as director of the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics.

Arthur Ippen received his early education in Germany, graduating as Diplom Ingenieur from theTechnische Hochschule in Aachen in 1931. Following a year spent as a teaching and research assistantin geodesy at Aachen, he came to the United States as an exchange fellow of the Institute of InternationalEducation, studying at the Institute of Hydraulic Research at the University of Iowa. In 1934 hetransferred to the California Institute of Technology where he became a teaching and research fellow inhydraulics, earning the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from that institution in 1935 and 1936. His research wasstrongly influenced by his association there with Theodore von Karman.

After receiving his doctorate, Ippen spent two more years at the California Institute of Technology as aresearch engineer and instructor in hydraulics. In 1938 he joined the faculty of Lehigh University as aninstructor in hydraulics and took charge of the reconstruction of the hydraulics laboratory. He was madean assistant professor in 1939 and continued in that capacity until 1945, when he joined the MIT facultyas associate professor in the Department of Civil Engineering and head of its Division of Hydraulics. Hewas promoted to professor in 1948.

Ippen's first major project at MIT was the planning and construction of a new research laboratory forhydraulics. The MIT Hydrodynamics Laboratory, as it was first known, was completed in 1950 and wasformally dedicated in 1951. In 1970 it was greatly enlarged and modernized and was renamed the RalphM. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics. Ippen directed the activities of thelaboratory from 1950 until his formal retirement in 1973.

Throughout his career Ippen was active in international educational exchange. His most notablecontribution in this field was the faculty exchange program between MIT and the Technical Universityof Berlin (TUB), which he directed from its inception in 1964 until his death ten years later. He wasalso active in the MIT Ford Foundation cooperative program with the Birla Institute of Technology andScience in India and the Inter-American Program of the School of Engineering which focused on waterresources development in South America. He also served as a lecturer and educational consultant inmany countries, notably with the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science Program and the Southeast Asia TreatyOrganization (SEATO) Graduate School.

Arthur Ippen was also widely employed as a consultant in private industry and by the United States andforeign governments. He was a consultant to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in several areas throughhis service to the Tidal Hydraulics Committee (1950-1974), the Coastal Engineering Research Board(1964-1974), the Philadelphia district of the Corps (1968-1974), and the Waterways Experiment Station atVicksburg, Mississippi (1966-1974). The New York Port Authority engaged his services as a consultanton tidal problems in the East River and on the La Guardia Airport runway extension. He was a memberof the UNESCO Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee on the Center for Applied Hydraulogical


- -

Research in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1969-1973), and of the MIT Mission to Singapore for Engineeringand Economic Development (1969). He was also engaged by the government of Pakistan (1962 and 1973)and the Inter-American Development Bank Mission to Assess Science and Technology Projects in Brazil(1971), as well as by numerous private companies.

Ippen authored over one hundred professional articles, engineering reports, and other papers. He wasalso a member of numerous professional organizations and held many leading offices in them. Hismemberships include the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Society of CivilEngineers (life member), the Boston Society of Civil Engineers (honorary member), the AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers, the American Geophysical Union, the International Association forHydraulic Research (honorary member), and the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (honorary member).He was the president of the Boston Society of Civil Engineers (1960-1961), president of the InternationalAssociation for Hydraulic Research (1960-1964), and chairman of three national committees of theAmerican Society of Civil Engineers.

He was the recipient of many awards during his career. In 1949 Ippen was named a Fellow of theAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 1967, a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering.In 1962 he received an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Toulouse, France, followed byHonorary Doctorates from Karlsruhe, Germany, in 1967, and from the University of Manchester,England, in 1968. Among the awards he has received are the 1953 Karl Emil Hilgard Prize, offered bythe American Society of Civil Engineers, and the 1963 Vincent Bendix Research Award for EngineeringResearch from the American Society of Engineering Education. He was named Distinguished Alumnusat California Institute of Technology in 1970. MIT honored him with an appointment as Ford Professor inthe School of Engineering (1965-1970) and in 1970 named him Institute Professor.

Scope and Contents of the Collection

The Arthur T. Ippen papers document his career as professor of civil engineering at the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology (MIT), and his active professional leadership and consulting work. The papers arerich resources on the topics of engineering education, international education, and water research. Theyalso chronicle the construction and expansion of the MIT Hydrodynamics Laboratory and reflect Ippen'sand the Institute's activities in international educational exchange during the 1960s and 1970s.

Biographical Material and Correspondence

The biographical and correspondence sections document Ippen's youth in Germany, his immigration tothe United States, and his early career as a graduate student at the University of Iowa and at the CaliforniaInstitute of Technology. There is also a small amount of material which pertains to his early professionalcareer at Lehigh University. The biographical materials include citations and correspondence concerningthe many awards he received during his career, his retirement, and the memorial funds established in hishonor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and by the International Association for HydraulicResearch. The correspondence files include letters from his family, and from student friends both in the


- -

U.S. and in Germany in the years before the Second World War as well as later correspondence withfriends and professional associates. They also contain correspondence concerning the textbook Estuaryand Coastline Hydrodynamics (1966), edited by Ippen. Photograph albums presented to Ippen on hisretirement are incuded with biographical materials.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Records

As an educator, Ippen was especially active in the area of international educational exchange and in thestrengthening of scientific and technical educational institutions, especially in less developed nations.This series documents Ippen's participation in the MIT cooperative program with the Birla Instituteof Technology and Science in India (1965-1972), the MIT Inter-American Program in South America(1962-1965), and the MIT Faculty Exchange Program with the Technical University of Berlin (TUB),which Ippen directed from 1964 to 1974. The latter is extensively documented with interim and annualreports of project activity, reports of faculty participants, both from MIT and the Technical Universityof Berlin, and records of the Joint Conference on the Computer in the University (1968) which consistof correspondence, program material, and audiotapes of most of the lectures delivered at the conference.Material is also included documenting Ippen's participation in the United States-Japan CooperativeScience Program (1964-1965), the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) Graduate Schoolof Engineering (1961), and a United States State Department sponsored exchange visit of hydraulicengineers with the Soviet Union (1961).

MIT Hydrodynamics Laboratory

There are rich adminstrative records of some of the numerous MIT committees on which Ippenserved as well as a small amount of administrative material from the Division of Water Resources andHydrodynamics (1952-1973), which Ippen directed throughout his career at MIT. Ippen's role in theconstruction and dedication of the Hydrodynamics Laboratory (1946-1950), including material relatingto the dedication of the laboratory in 1951 and the symposium held to mark the occasion, is also present.The subsequent enlargement of the laboratory during the period 1964 to 1970 is documented withmaterial from sponsors' meetings beginning in 1964 and culminating with its dedication and renamingas the Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics in 1970. The dedicationand concurrent symposium are also documented. The lectures presented at both symposia are present inpublished form. In addition, there are summaries of research for 1972-1973 and summaries of laboratorypublications from 1950 to 1973.

Consulting Records and Professional Papers

Ippen's professional life is thoroughly documented in materials covering his consulting, professionalwork in engineering societies, and conferences. The scope of Ippen's career as a consultant is evidencedby records dating from his early jobs as a consultant while still a student at the California Institute ofTechnology, to the continuing consultancies with the Army Corps of Engineers which he held at thetime of his death. These include his services to such major clients as the Committee on Tidal Hydraulics(1950-1974) and the Coastal Engineering Research Board (1964-1974) of the Corps of Engineers, as wellas numerous other clients, both governmental and private. Among the clients represented are the Waterand Power Development Authority of East Pakistan (1962) and the Port Quasim Authority of Karachi,Pakistan (1973), for whom he worked on tidal estuary problems and harbor silting problems respectively.The New York Port Authority used his services for the extension of the runway at La Guardia Airport(1958-1962). The Town of Chatham, Massachusetts, engaged Ippen to study the problems of designing


- -

a navigable channel for Chatham Harbor (1951-1956). He served the Inter-American Development BankMission to Assess Science and Technology Projects in Brazil (1971) and the United Nations EducationalScientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Advisory Committee on the Center for Hydraulics andApplied Hydraulic Research in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1969 1973). Records from all of these projectsare present in the files. Ippen's work for private companies is also amply documented. There are recordsof numerous consulting assignments, primarily in the areas of hydraulic equipment, industrial wastedisposal into streams and reservoirs, condensor water outfall problems with offshore power stations,silting problems, and harbor and dock design problems.

Ippen's professional papers document his activities in the engineering community through hisparticipation in professional societies. Prominent among his affiliations are the Engineering Mechanicsand Hydraulics Divisions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Boston Society of CivilEngineers, of which he served as president in 1960-1961, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers,the Council on Wave Research of the Engineering Foundation, and the National Academy of Engineering.Ippen's activity on the international level is reflected in the files of the International Association forHydraulic Research, which he served as president from 1960 to 1964, the Permanent InternationalAssociation of Navigation Congresses, the International Union for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics,and the Union of International Engineering Organizations.

The Ippen collection also includes a comprehensive set of his lectures, speeches, and writings. Ippenmaintained such a file, often including correspondence concerning the lecture or paper in the file alongwith the drafts or reprints of the lecture or paper.
