Historical Note

Hillary W. St. Clair (1909-1987) was born on 14 July, 1909, to Edwin and Pearl Walters St. Clair in Ophir, Utah. He was a graduate of the University of Utah, and also received his master's degree from the same institution in mining and metallurgy in 1931. He married Carmen Cropper on 1 July, 1930, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and together they had two children. St. Clair was a prominent metallurgist for the U.S. Bureau of Mines from 1935-1972, although he remained affiliated with the bureau until his death in 1987. He was chief of the Minerals Technology Branch for the Bureau's Eastern Division in the 1950s, and later assigned special independent research until his retirement in 1972.
