Abstract
Bruno A. Boley was born in Trieste, Italy in 1924. He received the B. S. degree in Civil Engineering from the College of the City of New York in 1943, the Sc. D. degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1946, and an honorary Sc. D. degree from the College of the City of New York in 1982. He served as an Assistant Professor of Aeronautical Engineering at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn from 1943 to 1948. He worked at the Goodyear Aircraft Corporation from 1948 to 1950, returning then to academic life, first as an Associate Professor at the Ohio State University in the Department of Aeronautical Engineering and then, from 1952, as Professor of Civil Engineering at Columbia University.
