He served as administrative secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), as well as editor-in-chief of its journal, Science, from 1949 to 1953.[1] He conducted research on the geology of Puerto Rico, which led to him publishing the book Geology of Porto Rico in 1933.[2] BiographyMeyerhoff was born on May 27, 1899 in New York City, New York. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois in 1920, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa.

He continued to teach geology at Smith until 1949, serving as chairman of the department for part of his time there.[2] He was elected a fellow of the AAAS in 1931.[1] During World War II, he served as director of civil defense for the Massachusetts Committee on Public Safety and as chief hearings officer of the War Labor Board.[2] Meyerhoff became administrative secretary of the AAAS from 1949 to 1953, during which time he was the editor-in-chief of both Science and Scientific Monthly. From 1953 to 1962, he was the director of the Scientific Manpower Commission, after which he became founding chairman of the geology department at the University of Pennsylvania.
