We are thankful to individual donors and Princeton University for their
generous support.
Individual donors adopt a level of the
Beaufort Wind Scale, used by sailors and first devised in 1805 by the English naval
commander Francis Beaufort. The scale begins at 0, which is a wind speed
too slow to move a ship at all, and ends at number 12, which indicates a
wind speed too high for the ship to carry any canvas.
