  • Discover Eli Whitney
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1979 Volume III: Remarkable City: Industrial New Haven and the Nation, 1800-1900 Discover Eli Whitney Curriculum Unit 79.03.03 by Benjamin A. Gorman The following narrative was written to provide teachers with an accessible account of Eli Whitney’s life and his place in our history. His spirit of inventiveness and accomplishments have made him the best known New Havener. The narrative is readable enough, I hope, for sixth and eighth grade students, so that they may use it directly to gain an understanding of Whitney’s role in American industrial progress and be proud of his relationship to New Haven. He might become for some of our students a symbol of achievement—a person who used his imagination to its fullest extent. The learning packet offers an opportunity for the students to learn about other New Haven inventors as well. Using Whitney and inventing as a reference, the students may then consider their possible future careers by exploring what they could offer, the need for education and what some jobs are like. Either the entire packet or selected parts may be used, depending upon the achievement level of the students. The packet may be used in teaching the industrial period in American history or in the study of New Haven as part of a Connecticut curriculum. The packet can be used independently by the students or according to the suggested schedule. Some of the activities may be assigned as homework and all students should be encouraged to complete at least one of the Quest Activities for extra credit, due at a later date.

  • Thomas Burr Osborne 1859-1929
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XIV EIGHTH MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF THOMAS BURR OSBORNE 1859-1929 BY HUBERT BRADFORD VICKERY PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1931 THOMAS BURR OSBORNE 1859-1929 BY HUBKRT BRADFORD VICKKRY A scientific investigation that is continued without interrup- tion or diversion from the main theme for forty years can be conducted only by one who has to an unusual degree the quali- ties of pertinacity and patience combined with a love of science and of work for its own sake. Few of those who possess such characteristics are so inspired in their initial choice of a problem or so richly rewarded by its outcome as was Thomas Burr Osborne. His death on January 29th, 1929, removed one of the most distinguished pioneers of American biochemistry, a man whose name will always be linked with the subject he made pe- culiarly his own and upon which he firmly imprinted his force- ful personality. Osborne's life was one of whole-souled devotion to a single purpose, the understanding of the relationships of proteins to each other and to the animal world. He began his researches upon the vegetable proteins in 1888, at a time when little atten- tion was being paid to these substances either by physiologists or chemists. He lived to see the study of proteins become one of the major topics of biochemistry, and to experience the satis- faction of knowing that this broad increase in interest was to no small extent a direct result of his own efforts.
