Few men have exemplified the purpose and the spirit of the Cosmos Club as has Caryl Parker Haskins. With an insatiable curiosity, he has conducted a quiet, broad, persistent search for knowledge in the sciences. He has shared this pursuit of knowledge freely through discourse in this Club, through substantive publications, and by creating structures to facilitate the work of fellow scientists. His scholarship has produced penetrating insights into the world in which we live, and his astute administration has mobilized untold resources which benefit mankind. And the legacy continues. On this 100th year, the Cosmos Club welcomes Caryl Parker Haskins as recipient of the 1978 Cosmos Club Award and takes pride in acknowledging him as the Centennial Man!
