William Bullock Clark

William Bullock Clark (December 15, 1860 – July 27, 1917), was an American geologist.

Early life William Bullock Clark was born on December 15, 1860, at Brattleboro, Vermont, to Helen (née Bullock) and Barna Atherton Clark. Clark had private tutors and graduated from Brattleboro High School. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Amherst College in 1884. He graduated with a PhD from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in 1887. Clark graduated from Amherst College with a Doctor of Laws in 1908. The State Weather Service was a cooperative venture between Hopkins, the Maryland Agricultural College (now University of Maryland), and the United States Weather Bureau, while the Geological Survey was also a joint effort between the State of Maryland, Hopkins, and the Maryland Agricultural College. In both instances, Johns Hopkins provided facilities and funding for their ongoing support. Clark also served as the State's representative when the Mason–Dixon line was re-surveyed in 1900.

He was elected as a member to the American Philosophical Society in 1902 and the National Academy of Sciences. Clark served as foreign correspondent of the Geological Society of London and was treasurer of the Geological Society of America at the time of his death.

Legacy For his work at the Johns Hopkins University, one of the dormitories in the Alumni Memorial Residences ("AMRs") has been named after him. The building Clark Hall (also at The Johns Hopkins University), however, is not named after him (Clark Hall is named after donor A. James Clark).
