Excerpt from Biological Contributions: A Collection of Essays and Research Articles Dedicated to John Thomas Patterson on the Occasion of His Eightieth Birthday
Fifty years ago J. T. Patterson began his scientific career at the relatively new University of Texas. The biological research at the school was not, at that time, influencing scientific Opinions to any great extent. Actually, the Depart ment of Zoology (known as a School in those days) was only about ten years old; and its predecessor, the School of Biology, had been organized less than ten years earlier. For fifty years, Professor Patterson continued his activity as a member of the faculty of the school. By his own Herculean efforts as an investi gator and by following a sound policy as an administrator, Patterson has been responsible for developing a department which has gained international recog nition for its research in biology.
Soon after he came to the University of Texas, Professor Patterson began a teaching program that attracted the attention of the morelalert advanced Stu dents. They were attracted to him by his friendliness, scholarly attitude, and enthusiasm. Science was truly a big part of his everyday life. He came to the laboratory early and he stayed late. His students developed a devotion for their teacher and the devotion was lasting. Those students are justly proud of their associations with their teacher. They have a right to their pride. They cannot, though, keep all of the feeling and elation for themselves. The man's heart was big enough to take in more than his own students. We who merely worked in the same laboratory with Professor Patterson, as students or colleagues or visitors, have also enjoyed the man's warmth of friendliness, his Spirit of cooperation, and his words of encouragement in our work. Either by his Spoken word or in his thoughts, every one of us refers to the likeable bundle of enthusiasm as Pat.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking collection of articles and essays investigates the life and work of John Thomas Patterson, the academic and scientist who broadened the field of genetics in the 20th century. It celebrates the 80th birthday of Patterson, whose vision and leadership as a professor in the Department of Zoology at the University of Texas at Austin helped establish a department that gained international acclaim for its research in biology. He had a particular interest in evolution and genetics, which led to extensive studies of the species relationships in the genus Drosophila, and he became a leading authority on the subject. Through a scholarship program, he attracted a distinguished faculty to the department which became one of the most productive research centers in genetics and cytology. Pattersonâs legacy is not limited to his own research but also to the generations of students and colleagues he inspired. This book provides a fascinating insight into the dedication that transformed not only the field of genetics but the lives of those who knew him.
