STEVENS ix 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation FRANK BLAIR HANSON On July 21,1945, Frank Blair Hanson, Associate Director of the Natural Sciences Division of The Rockefeller Foundation, died of a cerebral hemorrhage, at the age of 59. Dr. Hanson had been associated with the Foundation since 1930, when he became an assistant in the Paris Office, administering the fellowship program. From 1933 to 1935 he was assistant di- rector of the Natural Sciences Division, and since 1936 had been associate director of the Division. Dr. Hanson's forebears traveled to Ohio in a covered wagon and his family settled in Bloomington, Illinois, where he was born on July 15, 1886. As a youth he wanted to have a professional career, but because of financial problems he had to make his own way after graduation from high school. While working at a government post in Washington he attended evening school at George Washington University, where he received a scholarship in 1909 and a bachelor's degree in 1913. A required course in zoology awakened his interest and determined the course of his future career. After graduate work at the University of Illinois he was appointed, in 1916, instructor in zoology at Washington University, St. Louis, and played an im- portant part in developing there, from inauspicious beginnings, a highly effective zoology department. Appointed professor of zoology in 1924, he became one of the University's prominent fig- ures. In 1927-28 he obtained leave of absence from the University to present papers before the Tenth International Congress of Zoology at Budapest and the Fifth International Congress of Genetics at Berlin, and to visit laboratories and breeding stations in Europe. His lectures, given largely without notes, were unusually lucid. His genial and mellow sense of humor, frequently embellished with a delightful whimsey of expression, was completely his own. His enthusiasm for research, unaccompanied by emotional display, kindled a like spirit in his students, many of whom now occupy important posts in biology and medicine. Author of some 50 publications, his interest first centered in comparative anatomy and embryology. In 1923 he became inter- ested in genetics. Following a period with Professor H. J. Muller in 1927, his investigations were concerned almost exclusively with 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation \$& F0//a wXtffclND *>^fa Photograph Excised Here )rrank Hhur I lunson 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation 2003 The Rockefeller Foundation radiation genetics, a field in which he made important contributions. Some of the subjects which received his special attention are ver- tebrate morphology, origin of development of the shoulder girdle and sternum, inbreeding, effects of alcohol fumes on the albino rat, sex ratio, effects of X-rays and radium in producing mutations in Drosophila. Dr. Hanson worked under grants for research from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Radia- tion Committee of the National Research Council, and the Fluid Research Fund of Washington University. He conducted field research at Woods Hole, Cold Spring Harbor and the Department of Embryology at Johns Hopkins. The Marine Biological Labora- tory at Woods Hole was particularly close to his heart and he never overlooked an opportunity to further the work of that important center of biological research. In many ways the outstanding library of the Marine Biological Laboratory may be considered a lasting monument in his memory. With his family, Dr. Hanson delighted in spending the summers at Woods Hole. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Phi Sigma, and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Societies of Zoologists, Naturalists, Genetics, Association of American Anatomists, Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, and the St. Louis Academy of Science. Never robust in health, Dr. Hanson's ability to carry on in spite of a heart condition, probably contracted in his youth, is a tribute to his courage and determination. In each phase of his career he was aided by the care and assistance of his devoted wife, the former Harriet Roman Cavender, whom he married in 1910 while still an undergraduate in Washington. Dr. Hanson's last weeks were saddened by notification that his son, Lieutenant Frank Blair Hanson, Jr., had been lost with his ship, a destroyer escort sunk in the Atlantic by a German submarine a few days before V-E Day. This loss was naturally a great blow and seemed to contribute to his ill health. Besides his wife, Dr. Hanson leaves two daughters, Miss Blair Hanson, assistant professor of French at Allegheny College, and Dr. Phyllis Claire Hanson, assistant in pathology at the University of Rochester. In his twofold career as a teacher and investigator in zoology and as an officer of the Foundation, Dr.

  • Out-Migration from the Maritime Provinces, 1860 - 1900: Some Preliminary Considerations*
    ALAN A. BROOKES Out-Migration from the Maritime Provinces, 1860 - 1900: Some Preliminary Considerations* Within the comparatively recent growth of Canadian social history came the adoption of a regional approach, which in turn was followed by numerous county, city, and township studies.1 Unfortunately, to date, these under­ takings have been so local that in many instances the region has been totally forsaken. The contraction has usually resulted in emphasis being placed on isolated, separate communities with no regional or national frame of refer­ ence. Questions of social structure, and social and geographical mobility have been raised; but the answers have focused on geographic units rather than on the individual life cycles of the persons populating them. Conse­ quently, we have detailed persistence/turnover-rate figures for numerous towns and counties, but only conjecture as to the origins and destinations of their migrating populations. Further, by concentrating on single, geographic­ ally small areas, such studies have tended to "lose" the migrants of their period and be heavily biased toward immobile elements — elements which were a minority in a century of "perpetual motion".2 While few historians dealing with internal community structure have en­ gaged in linking individual migrants over time and space, those with broader perspectives appear to have shunned the highly detailed approach of new urban historians and historical demographers. This applies particularly to the field of nineteenth-century Canadian emigration. With the exception of the disenchanted emigrants returning to Europe or moving on to Australia and New Zealand, the vast majority of emigrants from English-speaking Canada during the nineteenth century went to the United States.

  • The 1920 New Brunswick History Textbook Controversy
    Bureaucratic rationalism, political partisanship and Acadian nationalism: The 1920 New Brunswick history textbook controversy Frances Helyar Department of Integrated Studies in Education McGill University, Montreal February 2010 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the Requirements of the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy, Education © Frances Helyar 2010 1 ABSTRACT This doctoral dissertation is a microhistory of a textbook controversy in 1920 New Brunswick, Canada. During a time of post war sensitivity to nationalism and patriotism, public feeling was aroused as the result of a complaint about Myers‘ General History, a world history textbook with a newly written chapter about the Great War. In the chapter, the American author made no reference to Canada, and overemphasized British and especially American war efforts. A close examination of events over the course of the following six months investigates the public outcry, the bureaucratic response of the New Brunswick Board of Education and the political manoeuvring of the media. Their focus on the original issues of patriotism, citizenship, history education and the role of schooling eventually dissolved into longstanding conflicts over language and religion. Contextualized in the rich historical literature examining history and citizenship education and the history of education in Canada, this dissertation draws on a wide range of archival sources, most particularly the Board of Education correspondence and New Brunswick newspapers, to explore how questions about history education were interpreted through the lens of the bureaucratic rationality of the educational administrator, the political partisanship of the newspaper editor, and the Acadian nationalism of the Roman Catholic Bishop. The 1920 New Brunswick history textbook controversy contributes to our understanding of the political nature of public memory, and the complex intertwining of religion and language rights within schooling, history education and citizenship in Canada, and in New Brunswick.
