Edward Bennett Mathews, Ph.D. (1869-1944), was an American geologist. He obtained a bachelor's degree from Colby College in 1891, and began serving with the United States Geological Survey in the same year, working under Charles R. Van Hise.[1] He was a professor of Mineralogy and Petrography at Johns Hopkins University. He was appointed the Assistant State Geologist of Maryland in 1896 by the State Geologist, William Bullock Clark, and served in that role until 1917, when he became the State Geologist upon Clark's death.[2] He retired from Johns Hopkins in 1939, departed the position of State Geologist in 1943, and died the following year.
