Actuarial Society of America[edit]

The first serious attempt to found an American organization similar to England's Institute of Actuaries occurred in 1867. In November of that year, nine prominent actuaries, including Wright, met in the board room of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. The attendees agreed to an actuarial organization of some sort and appointed a five-man committee to draft appropriate resolutions, with Wright being one of the committee members. A second meeting was held the next month to hear its report. But rather than recommend any formal organization, the committee called for an informal club that would hold regular meetings for the discussion of actuarial topics.

The failure to establish a formal organization was noticed by the insurance press. An editorial in the Insurance Times opined that "it is not the great men in the actuarial profession who are indifferent or averse to the formation of so beneficial an institution as this would prove". Instead, the failure was blamed on "men painfully conscious that an institute of this character ... would diffuse so much light and learning ... as to belittle their too limited attainments".[1] It is unclear who was being described here—insurance executives in general or certain individual actuaries. Some twenty years later, David Parks Fackler, an actuary who was involved in these meetings, stated that there was some concern about "persons with the title of Actuary ... who had few or no professional qualifications as such". He went on to say that "a society could not well be formed without them, but giving them full membership and possibly office in such a society, would be tantamount to dispensing with all requirements in the way of qualification".[2] Fackler gave a similar account some twenty years after the first, adding his opinion that the actuaries of the day "preferred to have nothing at all" instead of a society that admitted faux actuaries. He also expanded on his first statement by identifying the three actuaries whom he considered to be lacking in professional qualifications. Wright was one of them; the other two were W.H.C. Bartlett and William H. Beers.[3]

Fackler's inclusion of Bartlett on his list is odd because, at the time the meetings took place in 1867, he (Bartlett) was still a member of the United States Army and was a professor of astronomy at West Point Military Academy. He did not attend the organizational meetings in 1867 and did not become an actuary until 1871. On the other hand, Beers did attend those 1867 meetings and was working as an actuary for the New York Life Insurance Company since 1864. He later reduced, and eventually stopped, doing actuarial work when he moved into executive positions at New York Life, but this did not happen until 1868 (i.e., the year after the organizational meetings).[4] Actuarial historian E.J. Moorhead concludes that, despite Fackler's naming of three actuaries, the primary target of his comments was Wright. Recalling Wright's analogy to crossing a desert (as quoted above), Moorhead notes that Wright "must have been distressed if he ever knew, or guessed, that he himself was later to be regarded as a reason for postponing ... building the caravan".[5]

Twenty years after this initial attempt, and some three years after Wright's death, the Actuarial Society of America was founded in 1889. Wright's son Walter was one of its charter members and was on the committee that drafted its constitution.[6] The Society lasted for some sixty years, until it was merged into the modern-day Society of Actuaries.

But Fackler does not identify where or when that article was published and no record of it has been found. Also, in their biography Elizur Wright, the Wrights do not mention Fackler at all.

Note that Moorhead does not take account of the fact that Fackler's 1909 statements addressed the entire twenty-year period between the initial meetings in 1867 and the actual founding of an association in 1889. Although Bartlett and Beers might not have been factors in the failure of the initial attempt at an association, they might have been factors that discouraged subsequent attempts during that twenty-year period.

Ruskin quote[edit]

When we build let us think we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work that our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone upon stone, that a time is to come when these stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our fathers did for us." John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
