415 - Bio quiz
Hi all - I have placed your final grades in your Bioquiz assignment in VISTA. I was going to publish here the best of the bioquiz answers, and then one of you found out about what really happened to Godfrey (he had quite a distinguished career). So instead, I have created a file called "Godfrey Dewey" and will put it on the main course page in VISTA as soon as VISTA is less busy.
Here are some of the timeline answers:
Bliss and Bush had definite potential of meeting in Chicago or maybe at a convention. Many people’s lives had the potential of crossing in Boston turn of the century including Dewey and Cutter,. Salton came little bit too late to meet them in Boston but maybe felt their effects.
Minnie Earl Sears and Margaret Mann may well have crossed paths at the University of Illinois. Minnie earned her BLS there in 1900 and Margaret taught and was a librarian there from 1897 to 1902. Charlies Ami Cutter and Melvile Dewey were contemporaries living at the same time in Boston when Dewey lived there from 1876 through1888.
Both Taube and Lubetsky studied in the University of California system. From the bios, it appears Lubetzky started in 1925 and worked at UCLA afterwards. Taube received his degree in 1935 from the university of California.
Mann and Bliss were working in New York City around the time Avram was born, and for a few years, they were all in the same city, approx. 1919-1924. They could have run into each other in the park. Bliss and Avram would have shared the city until she moved away after college. Avram also lived in Washington around the same time as Lubetzky, though their employment at the LC never overlapped. Avram was also working at the LC while Sanford Berman was crusading against them, though it’s not really clear whether or not they would actually have met
Dewey and Sears definitely could have intersected at Columbia between 1927 and 1931 if he had stopped by to visit his old staff.
