Abstract: An intimate glimpse into events at the start of the Institute of Meteorology at the University of Chicago in 1940 is given from the viewpoint of the relatively primitive state of American meteorology at the time. Personalities are discussed, with special emphasis on the powerful influence of Carl-Gustaf Rossby from his desk as Assistant Chief of the U.S. Weather Bureau and later as head of the fledgling institute.
