C. Floyd Jackson, for whom the 

 Jackson Estuarine Laboratory was 

 named, was appointed to the Station 

 staff in 1908 as an Instructor in Ento- 

 mology, but evidently spent most of 

 his time in Zoology. In 1930 Jackson 

 was named Dean of the College of 

 Liberal Arts and in 1939 Director of 

 the Biological Institute. Two years later 

 the Bacteriology, Botany and Zoology 

 departments were combined into one 

 department of Biology with each of the 

 former departments as divisions. Ap- 

 parently, one accomplishment of the 

 consolidated department was a basic 

 course in biology required of all stu- 



dents in liberal arts. However, the Bi- 

 ology department, created in 1941, 

 was split into its original three compo- 

 nents in 1947 with Botany returning to 

 the College of Agriculture. In 1988 all 

 biology departments were again 

 housed in the College of Life Sciences 

 and Agriculture. 



Thus, although research funds 

 were limited in the beginning years of 

 the New Hampshire Station, research 

 was progressing on a broader front. Sci- 

 entists who left the institution usually 

 improved their position, and some 

 members of the Station were to make 

 significant contributions in later years.
