Professor James D. Dana was born February 12, 1813, in Utica, Oneida County, State of New 
York, where he passed his early years. 
In the autumn of 1830 he entered Yale College, in New Haven, Connecticut, attracted by the 
reputation of Professor Benjamin Silliman, sen., the distinguished Pioneer in American Science, 
whose lectures on Chemistry and Geology during more than half a century have added lustre to 
that ancient and celebrated institution of learning. During the regular course of study at New 
Haven, Mr. Dana evinced an especial love for the natural sciences, without neglecting philological 
and mathematical pursuits, in the latter of which he was distinguished. He was graduated with 
honour, Bachelor of Arts, in 1833, and about the same time received the appointment of Teacher 
of Mathematics to Midshipmen in the Navy of the United States. In that capacity he sailed-to 
the Mediterranean, in the U. S. ship of the line “ Delaware,” returning in 1835. During the two 
years following he acted at Yale College as Assistant to the distinguished Professor whose successor 
in office he afterwards became. 
In December, 1836, he was appointed Mineralogist and Geologist, of the Exploring Expedition 
then about to be sent by the Government of the United States to the Southern and Pacific Oceans.
