N1 - Funding information: Throughout the world, Mrs. Clarice Norton from the United States was known fondly as ‘‘Mrs. Camera Calibration for Fairchild’’. Born in 1910, she was initially discouraged from pursing her dream to study engineering after completing secondary school and, instead, married and helped to raise a family for 13 years (Peck, 1994). In 1941, the U.S. Defense Department funded college-level training at the Institute of the Engineering Colleges of Greater New York (sponsored by Columbia University) for much needed engineers to work in defense related industries. Mrs. Norton’s husband encouraged her to apply and from over 10,800 applicants, 384 men and one woman passed the entrance examination. ‘‘Being the mother of three young children and the only woman in her class presented her with challenges the men did not face,’’ wrote Lauren Peck, an associate of Mrs. Norton’s who worked with her for many years and wrote her Memorial Address in Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing (Peck, 1994, 1998). In this regard, Mrs. Norton remains an inspiration today for men and women who must juggle the responsibilities of their personal and professional lives.
