'They Taught Me' series What did famous scientists actually say when
they taught courses in their specialties? To answer these questions, student notes are primary sources of fundamental importance. With rare exceptions, those notes are the first objects consigned to the dust bin of history. But not always. “They taught me” is a series dedicated to providing historians with primary source materials created in the classroom and by other audiences. Most will be in the form of student notes, the daily record of presentations. More titles in this series are coming in the second half of 2007 and 2008. . |

Sewall Wright Taught Me Sewall Wright taught throughout his long career. Between 1926-1955, he worked at the University of Chicago. During this time, he developed and taught both undergraduate and graduate courses. By the early 1930s, Wright’s teaching load settled into a core set of four courses: Fundamental Genetics (Zoology 310), Biometry (311), Physiological Genetics (312), and Evolution (313). The notes reproduced here were written by a student attending three of Wright's core courses during 1951-1952. Robert E. Sloan, a master’s student with an interest in paleontology and evolution, wrote these notes. For more on Robert E. Sloan, see his oral history (htm) Ask your library to order the whole series. Note to scholars: some of the handwriting can be hard to read; magnification is possible using the e-book edition.
