100 YEARS EXPLORING LIFE, 1888-1988 



NOTES 



Donald Costello, in a transcript of a taped interview at 

 the University of North Carolina, 1967, mentions 

 the importcince of such factors as temperature for 

 isotope use. 



Robert Kahler's interview. Historical Collection, gives an 

 eyewitness account of the various fires, which are 

 referred to by a number of other interviewees as 

 well. Isabel Morgan Mountain, in her valuable un- 

 published history of the Morgan barn property and 

 in a 1987 interview, places the fire in historical 

 context. 



Winterton C. Curtis recalls his being drawn to the MBL in 

 "Good Old Summer Times and the M.B.L." and 

 "Rhymes of the Woods Hole Shores," Falmouth En- 

 terprise (August 12, 19, 26 and September 2, 9, 1955), 

 reprint in MBL Archives. 



Laboratory allocations and the desire to change the sys- 

 tem are discussed in MBL annual reports and 

 other archival notes. Whitman often discussed his 

 views on education in MBL annual reports and in a 

 number of documents and letters both in the MBL 

 archives and at the University of Chicago Archives, 

 as well as in lectures in the Biological Lectures of 

 the MBL. 



Philip Pauly's excellent Controlling Life (New York: Oxford 

 University Press, 1987) provides a provocative and 

 important account of Jacques Loeb's work and of 

 his role at the MBL. Also see Pauly on the MBL's 

 place in history, "Summer Resort and Sci- 

 entific Discipline: Woods Hole and the Structure of 



American Biology, 1882-1925," in Ronald Rainger, 

 et al., editors. The American Development of Biology 

 (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 

 1988), pp. 121-150. 



Other Loeb stories, by W. J. V. Osterhout and by others, 

 are on file in the MBL Archives. 



Donald Costello discusses his early times at the MBL in 

 his 1967 interview, deposited in the MBL Archives. 



The initial building bill resides in the Archives, along with 

 other documents about costs. 



On the 1897 and other crises, see Lillie's history (Notes 

 Chapter 1), MBL trustees' minutes and annual re- 

 ports, and papers in the Biological Bulletin Supple- 

 ment. See also "A Statement Concerning the Marine 

 Biological Laboratory at Wood's Holl, Mass.," Sci- 

 ence (1897) 6: 529-534 from disgruntled trustees 

 and "A Reply to the Statement of the Former Trust- 

 ees of the Marine Biological Laboratory," October 8, 

 1897, as a separate publication because they did not 

 feel that they should air MBL business in public. See 

 also Conklin, "The Reorganization of 1897," Collect- 

 ing Net (August 17, 1935): 209-211; and Jane Maien- 

 schein, "Early Struggles at the Marine Biological 

 Laboratory over Mission and Money," Biological 

 Bulletin (1985) 168: 192-196. 



On later support from Charles Crane and others, see MBL 

 annual reports and Collecting Net throughout the 

 1910s and 1920s. Also a letter from Crane to J. D. 

 Rockefeller, Jr., December 22, 1923, records his 

 affection and respect for the spirit of the MBL.
