A Brief Sketch Of The Life And Work Of Charles Edwin Bessey, Raymond J. Pool

Papers in Systematics and Biological Diversity

Charles Edwin Bessey, professor of botany and head of the department of botany in the University of Nebraska since 1884 and a conspicuous figure in American science and education, passed away at his home in Lincoln on February 25, 1915, after a critical illness of four weeks.

The Bessey family is of French extraction, the original form of the name being Besse. The tradition is that the early members of the family, who were Huguenots, were compelled on account of religious persecution to flee to England from the old home near Strassburg in Alsace. This exodus occurred in the latter …

Botanical Specimens (Herbarium) By Alice Ford, 1912, Alice Ford

Botanical Specimen Books

This botanical specimen book (herbarium) was collected and curated by Sara Alice Ford in spring 1912 for a Botany I course taught by John M. Holzinger at the Winona Normal School in Winona, Minnesota. These plants were collected in the Witoka area. Sara Alice Ford Einhorn (1983-1992) grew up in the Witoka Area and attended Winona Normal School, graduating in 1912. She taught in the area rural schools (Boynton and Ridgeway) before marrying Clifford Einhorn. They lived in North Minneapolis before moving back to Winona in the 1940s.

Daughter of Kathryn Jeanette Einhorn Anderson who graduated from Winona Teachers' College …

The Present Methods Of Teaching Entomology, J. H. Comstock

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

The present methods of teaching entomology followed in the United States have been developed almost entirely by men now teaching this subject. A second generation of teachers has begun its work; but the first is still on the stage. We h3i¥e progressed far enough, however, to make it worth while for the teachers to compare methods, in order that each may profit by the experience of the others. In a conference of this kind the contribution of each to the discussion will be, naturally, at first, merely a statement of the methods evolved in our several widely separated institutions. Then …

Present Methods Of Teaching Entomology, H. T. Fernald

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

In teaching entomology, much depends upon the ultimate aim of the student. A course in introductory entomology, whether as a required or an elective subject is sure to include many students who will not continue the subject farther. It is at least probable, that these students will form over half of the class, and accordingly, the introductory treatment should be arranged on the basis of the greatest good to the greatest number. This will usually mean some slight knowledge of insect anatomy, particularly external anatomy, and a general survey of insects as a group, with special attention to the pests …

The Present Methods Of Teaching Entomology, Herbert Osborn

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

In a discussion of the methods of teaching entomology, it is almost necessary to take a hasty view of the growth of the subject and of the different methods of imparting knowledge in it during the past half century. We need scarcely go back of this, because for the United States, at least, the growth of the teaching of entomology as a subject included in a college curriculum has had its growth within that time. In fact, practically all of the development of the teaching outside of two or three localities has been within the last twenty-five' years. Naturally the …

Present Methods Of Teaching Entomology At The University Of Nebraska, Lawrence Bruner

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

'When our Secretary sent out his preliminary notification of this meeting and asked me to take part in a discussion of "present methods of teaching Entomology," the matter at first seemed of little importance so far, at least, as the speaker was concerned. However, after giving the subject some thought I have decided that it might be well at least to take the time and trouble to attempt to explain briefly a few of the methods by which the student in Nebraska is enabled to absorb some entomological information. In order to do this with an unbiased feeling it might …

Botanical Specimens (Herbarium) By Helen J. Monahan, 1899, Helen J. Monahan

Botanical Specimen Books

This botanical specimen book was collected and curated by Helen J. Monahan in 1899 for a Botany course taught by John M. Holzinger at the Winona Normal School in Winona, Minnesota. Helen Josephine (Monahan) Rowekamp (1885-1967) was born in Witoka, Minnesota. She attended the Winona Normal School. In 1916 Helen (Monahan) Rowekamp married Julius Rowekamp and they farmed in the Lewiston area until 1947 when they moved to Winona. Mrs. Rowekamp's death was announced in The Winona Daily News on Sunday, March 05, 1967.

Zoology In The High School Curriculum, Henry B. Ward

Studies from the University of Nebraska Zoological Laboratory

A long time has elapsed since Bacon gave to the world the sound advice that “ we should accustom ourselves to things themselves.” Little by little this idea has gained ground, until now it is recognized as a general principle in every grade of educational work and in widely separated departments of study that contact with concrete objects is far more inspiring and thought-producing than the mere scanning of black marks on a white page. So far as natural science is concerned, the varied training which it affords has been abundantly discussed before this association and elsewhere. To be sure, …
