by David Starr Jordan, Vernon Lyman Kellogg

1909

A look at some of Burbank's experiments and the importance of his pioneer work in hybrids and plant breeding to science. David Starr Jordan (1851-1931) was a noted educator and scientist. Educated at Cornell University, Butler University, and the Indiana University School of Medicine he became the President of Indiana University in 1885, the youngest university president in the nation at the time. Six years later, he accepted the post of President of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, where he remained, first as president and later as chancellor, until his retirement. Vernon Lyman Kellogg (1867 - 1937) filled the Chair of Entomology at Stanford University during the early the early part of this century and presided over the development of a strong program in entomology that developed there. Dr. Kellogg was an active conservationist, an officer of the Sierra Club, and outdoorsman. Dr. Kellogg's contributions to the entomological community include service as a Charter Member of the Entomological Society of America, now the largest entomological society in the world, and a term as President of that society in 1915.
