Century Memorial
Charles Arad Joy was a scientist of high attainments and wide reputation. Thoroughly equipped by careful study at Berlin and Paris, he became a Professor of Chemistry at Union College, and afterwards at Columbia from 1857 until 1877. He was industrious in chemical researches, and a voluminous contributor to the American Journal of Science and Dana’s Mineralogy, and was for a time President of the Lyceum of Natural History, the editor of the Scientific American and of the Journal of Applied Science.
He has of late years lived a life of retirement at Stockbridge and abroad owing to impaired health, but his mental activity continued until the last.
