Prince Sears Crowell, Jr

Crowell, Jr. had strong ties to Woods Hole, having taken classes at the Children’s School of Science when he was young, worked at the MBL as a teen, and continued research at the MBL as an adult. At Indiana University, where he was a professor, Crowell Jr. taught“invertebrate zoology as well as embryology, anatomy, ornithology and introductory zoology.” He was also the first program officer of the American Society of Zoologists. When Hirohito, the Emperor of Japan, visited MBL, Dr. Crowell was one of his hosts. Hirohito studied marine hydrozoans and published several papers on them. You can find these papers in the MBL library.
