Information trouvée : Renowned Geneticist and Former Stony Brook Vice President, H. Bentley Glass, Ph.D.,
who rose from high school biology teacher to distinguished geneticist and a former
Vice President at Stony Brook University during its earliest years, died Sunday, January
16 ... in Boulder, Colo. Dr. Glass, a former resident of Port Jefferson Station,
was named the university's first Academic Vice President and Professor of Biological
Sciences by then-President John S. Toll in 1965 and served in those positions until
1971. According to a history of Stony Brook published by the University, Glass was
one of the first distinguished professors ever recruited to Stony Brook, then still
a fledgling institution. He was regarded as one of the foremost authorities on genetics
and had previously taught at Johns Hopkins, where he maintained professional associations
with key figures in the biomedical fields. The son of missionary parents, Dr. Glass
was born in China in 1906 and largely remained in there until he attended Decatur
Baptist College in Decatur, Texas. He later graduated from Baylor University, taught
high school biology in tiny Timpson, Texas (pop.1,200), and then went to the University
of Texas on a graduate fellowship to conduct research in genetics. He taught at Stephens
College in Missouri and at Goucher College in Maryland before joining the faculty
at Johns Hopkins. From 1959-65, he chaired the national Biological Science Curriculum
Study, which transformed the instruction of biological sciences and laboratory programs
in high schools throughout the U.S.
