100 YEARS EXPLORING LIFE, 1888-1988 



On Lillie's concerns about the MBL, see James Ebert, 

 "Cell Interactions: The Roots of a Century of 

 Research," Biological Bulletin (1985) 168: 83. 



On Valois's comments on squid as well as the problems 

 of maintaining the seawater pumps, see James 

 Shreeve, "A World Center of Basic Biology Cele- 

 brates a First Century by the Sea," Smithsonian 

 (June 1988): 90-103 and the full manuscript, which 

 is longer. 



On the role of Zeiss: "Carl Zeiss and the IVIBL," Collecting 

 Net (July 1987) 5: 8-9. 



Robert Barlow discussed his scientific work in a per- 

 sonal interview in 1987. 



Epigenesis-preformation and nuclear-cytoplasmic or 

 internal-external roles in development were hotly 

 discussed issues, as revealed by the Biological Lec- 

 tures. See Jane Maienschein, editor, Defining Biol- 

 ogy (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1986) 

 for reprints of some of those key essays, including 

 William Morton Wheeler's overview of epigenesis 

 and preformation discussions. The classic discus- 

 sion of such issues appears in Jane Oppenheimer's 

 Essays in the History of Embryology and Biology 

 (Cambridge: MIT Press, 1967), and Philip Pauly's 

 Controlling Life (Notes, Chapter 3) has very helpful 

 sections as well. The centrality of mechanism- 

 vitalism debates is considered by W. C. Allee, Allee 

 Correspondence 1905-1938, Ed Banks Collection, 

 University of Illinois at Urbana. Thanks to Gregg 

 Mitman for bringing this latter item to my attention. 



Pauly also discusses the work and ideas of Whitman 

 and Loeb In an unpublished lecture, MBL Archives. 



On Loeb's view of collecting and Just's reaction, see 

 Manning's biography of Just, Black Apollo of Sci- 

 ence (New York: Oxford, 1983). 



In personal discussions, John Valois and Sears Crowell 

 have provided particularly useful insights into 

 changes in the types of organisms studied cind the 

 types of questions asked over recent decades, as 

 have several of the interviews. Historical Collection. 

 Also, Donald Lancefield discusses early choices of 

 organisms. Historical Collection. 



MBL annucil reports discuss the General Biological Sup- 

 ply Company, as does Lillie's history (Notes, Chap- 

 ter 1). 



On Dahlgren and the shark, Conklin, "MBL. Stories," 

 pp. 127-128 (Notes, Chapter 2): "The Shark Stoiy," 

 pp. 127-128. See also Curtis, "Good Old Summer 

 Times," pp. 4-5 (Notes, Chapter 3). 



A number of people recall Wamsley, also mentioned in 

 Lillie's history (Notes, Chapter 1), and Curtis's 

 "Good Old Summer Times," pp. 3^ (Notes, Chap- 

 ter 3). 



On Whitman and journal publication, see Ernest J. Dorn- 

 feld, ""The Allis Lake Laboratory,'" Marquette Med- 

 ical Review (1956) 21: 115-144. 



James Graham and his glassblowing appear in Collecting 

 Net stories.
