Julian Huxley at Rice collection
This collection contains photographs, letters, and documents related to Sir Julian Sorell Huxley's association with Rice Institute. The items date from the 1910s.
Huxley was a 20th-century evolutionary biologist and science communicator. He is perhaps best known for coining the term “Modern Synthesis,” which describes the approach that combines the Darwinian theory of natural selection with Mendelian inheritance. He was also a co-author of one of the popular biological textbooks of the early twentieth century, The Science of Life, along with H.G. Wells and Wells’ son G.P. Wells.
Huxley was hired by Rice President Edgar Odell Lovett to be the first head of the Biology Department at Rice Institute.
