"Charles Albert EVANS Professor Emeritus and first Chairman of the Department of Microbiology, University of Washington Medical School, died December 4th. He was 96. During his 36 years at the University of Washington he was also Chairman of the University Senate, Associate Director of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and the first Director of the Office of Minority Student Affairs during the turbulent 1960s. He was the last surviving Department Chair of the original faculty of the medical school, 1946. Dr. Evans is survived by his wife of 70 years, Allie Ann Evans. His children are Nicholas (deceased), Susan (Bill Layman), Thomas (Julia Evans), and Carol (Bill McClain), grandchildren; Hillary and Alice Evans, Kevin and Kelsey McClain, Nathan and Genevieve Layman. Also in his family circle are foster daughter Valerie Lui and her four children, Allie Ann, Maria, Cory and Michael, and Christoph Spielberg of Berlin, Germany. Charles Evans is the son of Albert Grant Evans and Susan Briery Thompson Evans. He received hisB.S., M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. He published over two hundred articles of his scientific research focusing primarily on the study of viral infections, poliomyelitis and tumor virology. Chuck began his life long passion for birding at age 10. He also enjoyed photography. [...]"

Note : The documentary "In Pursuit of Social Justice" tells the story of diversity efforts at the University of Washington from the early 1960s to the early 1970s, centering on the May 1968 takeover of President Odegaard's office by the UW's Black Student Union. We filmed in-depth interviews with many of the participants in those efforts, with much more material than could be included in the program itself. This is the extended interview with Charles Evans.

WHo is CHarles A. Evans... from Univ of washington.. who had a role in the SVCP ?

Nowinski mentioned in multipls SVCPs, including #14 - multiple contracts as of 1975 to this fred hutch institute - See [ Special Virus-Cancer Program ]... acgually 8, 11, 12, 13, 14 (maybe more but this is all we have now)

Charles A. Evans

1912 - 2008

Charles A. Evans, Ph.D., 96, Professor Emeritus and first Chairman of the Department of Microbiology, died on December 4, 2008.

Charles (Chuck) Evans, received his B.S., M.D. and Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. He devoted 36 years to the University, during which time he served as the chairman of the Department of Microbiology, chairman of the University Senate, associate director of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and as the first director of the Office of Minority Student Affairs. He was the last surviving department chair of the original medical school faculty. He published over two hundred articles of his scientific research focusing primarily on the study of viral infections, poliomyelitis and tumor virology. His early research focused on the growth of poliomyelitis virus in cell and tissue culture. These underappreciated studies were reported in a series of papers were singled out by John Enders in his Nobel acceptance speech for their important contributions to the development of the field. Chuck then returned his attention to papillomavirus infections in rabbits, their oncogenic potential, and immune responses of the host. Finally, in his later years, he returned to a earlier interest, the ecology of skin microflora and its role in disease.

He not only was a very productive laboratory scientist, but also was a serious naturalist, amateur ornithologist, bird watcher and skilled photographer. Everything he undertook was pursued with passionate intensity and reflected his fascination and respect for the natural world.

Dr. Evans is survived by his wife of 70 years, Allie Ann Evans. His children are Nicholas (deceased), Susan (Bill Layman), Thomas (Julia Evans), and Carol (Bill McClain), grandchildren, Hillary and Alice Evans, Kevin and Kelsey McClain, Nathan and Genevieve Layman.

The Charles Evans Award Fund was established when Dr. Evans retired, in June of 1982. Contributions to this fund are made by friends, colleagues, former students and members of his family. The fund provides an annual award for the graduating microbiology major with the highest cumulative grade point average.

1959

The Virology and Rickettsiology Study Section (V & R SS), the regular NIH Study Section that reviewed grant proposals in the area of virology, sponsored a meeting on September 16, 1958, on “The Role of Viruses in Relation to Human Malignancies.” Fifteen expert investigators were invited to the meeting. They were: Joe Beard; Ray Bryan; John Enders; Charles Evans (Chairman); Hilary Koprowski; Salvatore Luria; Dan Moore; Alfred Prince; Stanfield Rogers; Harry Rubin; Albert Sabin; Jonas Salk; Richard Shope; and Jerry Syverton. Harvey Scudder, Executive Secretary, V & R SS, and Robert Backus, NCI, provided staff support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The group discussed expanding the research through technological, educational and institutional means. The members focused on four major categories:

NCI Tissue Culture Consultants Meeting One of the major tools in virology research is in vitro cultivation of cells and of viruses. The effects of viruses on cells can be studied with profit in such systems. However, because investigators had generally worked largely independently, the tissue culture cell lines had been developed with little coordination or standardization. Thus, cell line names were not always accurately applied, cultures could be contaminated with viruses or bacteria, and the cell lines might not be properly characterized and stored. The staff of the NCI asked seventeen consultants to come to the NIH May 15-16, 1959, to discuss the need for, and possible technical problems involved in, coordinating the characterization activities of investigators working with cytological materials. These consultants were selected for their competence in various aspects of cell growth, characterization and preservation. At the meeting, the consultants generally agreed that coordination was rapidly becoming necessary: an overwhelming amount of information had been accumulated, but the data was nearly impossible to correlate because researchers had used varying methods and nonstandardized resources. They agreed that a tissue culture bank should be organized around contributions that would be made available to investigators who were participating in the program. This Consultants Conference was Chaired by Council member Dr. Charles Evans, University of Washington. Dr. Jerome Syverton, University of Minnesota, presented an opening statement on the “Characterization, Preservation and Supply of Tissue Culture Cell Lines.” Most of the members of the Viruses and Cancer Panel attended the meeting. The Panel met the day after the Conference and concluded that a clear need existed for a coordinated cell-characterization program and that a program should be given sufficient impetus and administrative guidance and support to assure the success of a self-sustaining program. A second Conference of the expert consultants was called for to determine how best to undertake a cooperative effort for initiating and sustaining a mammalian cell bank with insurance of quality control (Minutes of the Virus and Cancel Panel, May 1959).
