Fund 12901595. James F. Crow Distinguished Professorship Fund. James F. Crow served as a faculty member in Genetics starting in 1948. Although retired, he remains active as an emeritus faculty member. He is an icon in genetics having published over 200 papers covering topics in population genetics, fruit fly genetics, and the intellectual history of genetics. Students remember him as one of their finest teachers. Professor Crow is a leader and statesman of science. He is also an accomplished musician having been a member of the Madison Symphony Orchestra and past President of the Madison Civic Music Society. To honor Professor Crow, a fund has been established to create an endowed Professorship that bears his name. We are about half way to our goal to fully fund the professorship with a $1 million dollar endowment. Once the goal is reached, the Professorship will be made available to attract a world-class scientist to join the faculty in Genetics. The earnings of the endowment will be made available to support the research of the recipient. Please join us in celebrating the career of Dr. Crow by contributing to the James F. Crow Professorship Fund.
