Lewis John Stadler (1896-1954), Papers, 1927-1955 (C2429)
7.4 linear feet
INTRODUCTION
Correspondence, notes and manuscripts, and miscellaneous papers of a corn geneticist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Field Crops at the University of Missouri, who did pioneering research on the effects of X-rays upon mutation in plants.
DONOR INFORMATION
The Stadler Papers were donated to the University of Missouri by Myron G. Neuffer of the Field Crops Department on 3 March 1967 (Accession No. 3705). Additions to the papers were made by Stadler's wife Cornelia T. Stadler on 7 November 1973 and 10 January 1974 (Accession No. 3926A).
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Lewis John Stadler was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1896 and, after taking a B.S. in agriculture at the University of Florida (1917), earned the A.M. (1918), and Ph.D. (1922), at the University of Missouri. He joined the Department of Field Crops faculty in 1922,
and remained at Missouri until 1954, acting as visiting professor at the California Institute of Technology (1940), and Yale University (1950). Beginning in 1930 he simultaneously held an appointment with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Academic honors included the presidencies of the Genetics Society of America, American Society of Naturalists, and Sigma Xi.
While Stadler spent almost all his academic life at the University of Missouri he was also involved in activities with a wider scope. During the 1930s Stadler was involved in efforts to bring European scientists to the U.S. to escape Nazism. In 1948 Stadler was
appointed a delegate to the Eighth International Congress of Genetics, meeting in Stockholm. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, however, rejected his passport application and conducted a loyalty investigation; Stadler at first thought it was a State Department action.
Stadler married Cornelia Field Tuckerman in 1919, and they had six children: Maury Tuckerman, Henry Lewis, David Ross, John Brandeis, Eliot Tuckerman, and Joan.
Stadler's work in genetics concentrated upon the study of mutation in corn. He did much work on the effects of X-ray treatments, and did comparative studies of mutation caused by X-rays and by ultraviolet rays. His work earned him an international reputation.
He died of leukemia in 1954.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Stadler Papers consist of correspondence, notes and manuscripts, and miscellaneous papers arranged into six series:
The Correspondence series consists of personal, scientific, and business correspondence with friends and colleagues and dates from 1927 to 1955. The bulk of the correspondence is arranged chronologically and is with other geneticists in universities, private research foundations, and the United States Department of Agriculture. Of note is correspondence with the American Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom and the American Committee to Save Anti-Fascist Refugees concerning asylum for refugees in concentration camps in France; correspondence concerning Stadler's attempt, with the help of the Rockefeller Foundation and the New School for Social Research, to bring Emil Heitz to the United States from Europe; and material from the American Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom concerning academic freedom at Brooklyn College and City College of the City University of New York.
Following the chronologically arranged correspondence is correspondence with manufacturers of scientific equipment concerning the operation and maintenance of instruments and equipment used in genetics work. There is also material dealing with the investigation of Stadler's loyalty. Included are a copy of the interrogatory sent Stadler and his reply, as well as letters from other scientists in his
support, and correspondence with friends, lawyers, and organizations to which he belonged and which later became suspect. See also correspondence with organizations in folders 9-33.
The National Research Council series includes reports, applications to various organizations for fellowships administered by the NRC, and minutes. The material dates from 1942 to 1954. The reports include bimonthly reports of the Division of Biology and Agriculture from 1942 to 1947. The minutes include those for the Committee on Growth of the Division of Medical Sciences, the Division of Biology and Agriculture, and various panels of the Division of Medical Sciences.
Stadler was among the leaders in education, the sciences, and the social sciences who were asked to serve in an advisory capacity to the Selective Service System. This series contains transcripts of the discussions of the scientific advisory committees to help determine deferment policies for men in certain fields and in college, and on the utilization of manpower. The series also includes reports of the committees to Lewis B. Hershey and to the U.S. Army.
The Professional series includes material dealing with Stadler's work at the University of Missouri as well as off campus. There is a proposal for and correspondence concerning the establishment of a regional laboratory of plant genetics at the university to be financed in part by the Rockefeller Foundation. Abstracts of papers presented at the Seventh International Congress of Genetics are in this series. There is material dealing with the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Science Foundation, including testimony by Stadler, and the United States' membership in the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization. Conference materials are also in this series. Of note are drafts of a report on the Conference on Mutation sponsored by the Committee on Growth of the National Research Council prepared by Barbara McClintock. The series contains guest lectures given by Stadler at other institutions and over the radio, reports and petitions to various organizations on his research, abstracts of journal articles and papers, graphs and charts, and notes on conferences.
A large section of the Professional series deals with Stadler's work at the University of Missouri and includes memoranda and plans for plantings at the university, reports to the United States Department of Agriculture concerning work at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station, drafts and copies of budgets relating to genetic programs, notes and memoranda for courses and seminars in genetics taught by Stadler, and student records and papers of both undergraduate and graduate students in genetics and field crops.
The Notes, Manuscripts, and Reprints series includes material by Stadler and others and is one of the largest series in the papers. The series is divided into two sections. Stadler's notes, manuscripts, and reprints are arranged alphabetically by the title; material by others is arranged alphabetically by author. The Miscellaneous Series is made up of notes, manuscripts and correspondence from Stadler and others.
