In this post, his responsibilities included a study of road building on a national scale. As a geologist in Massachusetts, he had conducted the first extensive investigation of road-building materials in America. Later, as Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, he began a series of investigations, which won international acclaim for the laboratories he directed. Page introduced a scientific movement in road building that won enthusiastic national public support. He initiated "a petrographic study" of road-building materials; wrote the first comprehensive report on the elements of road-building rocks; and improved French rock-testing machines, whereby physical tests of road-building rocks became a routine procedure.
