During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the modern
network of scientific societies, research centers and government
agencies began to take shape. Jesuits participated in many
of these groups and created their own research organizations.
In 1911, Rev. Frederick L. Odenbach of St. Ignatius College
in Cleveland established the Jesuit Seismological Service.
This network of stations reported earthquake data via postcard
to the central office. In 1925, the Jesuit Seismological
Association was formed during a meeting of Jesuit geophysicists
at Loyola University of Chicago. The Association cooperated
with other national and international organizations to
report and study seismic activity throughout the world.
Stein, Johan W.J.A., 1871-1951
Johan Stein studied physics and astronomy at the University
of Leiden from 1894 to 1901. After completing his doctoral
dissertation on the Horrebow method for determining latitude,
he taught mathematics and physics at St. Willebrord's College.
From 1906 to 1910 Stein was assistant to J. G. Hagen, director
of the Vatican observatory. During that time, he published
several papers concerning variable and binary stars. In
1930 Stein became director of the observatory and oversaw
its transfer to it current home at Castel Gandolofo.
Selected Publications
Die veränderlichen, 2 vols., Mathematisch-physikalischer,
vol. II (Firbourg, 1924)
In 1910, Stein left Rome to teach at St. Ignatius College
in Amsterdam, but maintained a close working relationship
with Hagen. The second volume of their joint work, written
by Stein, covers the mathematical-physical aspects of variable
stars.
