The career of Frank Rattray Lillie (1870-1947) as teacher, researcher, and "statesman of science," began under the tutelage of Charles O. Whitman. After Lillie received his doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1894, he entered upon a lifetime of fruitful zoological research. His primary interests were in experimental embryology, fertilization, sex hormones, and sex differentiation. In addition to research, much of Lillie's time was consumed by administration. First among his many accomplishments was the development of the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. During his chairmanship of the Zoology Department at the University of Chicago, 1910 to 1931, Lillie not only maintained an active research program but also revitalized the teaching program on both the graduate and the undergraduate levels. He held presidencies in the National Research Council and the National Academy of Science. In 1931, Lillie became Dean of the Biological Sciences Division of the University of Chicago.
The Frank R. Lillie papers consist of 7 linear feet of material and cover the period 1899-1941. The papers have been arranged into three series. The first, General Correspondence, contains the general correspondence of Lillie during the period of his chairmanship of the Zoology Department. This correspondence, arranged alphabetically, is primarily between Lillie and his colleagues, both at the University and elsewhere, and students. These letters reflect Lillie's administrative responsibilities in the department and at Woods Hole as well as his interest and accomplishments in the area of research. Series II, University Correspondence, is the correspondence between Dr. Lillie, as department chairman from 1910 to 1931, and other administrative offices of the University such as the President's office, the Dean of Students, etc. The third series, Research and Publications, contains Lillie's research notes and a few publications. Lillie's extensive research notes include loose notes, drawings and 30 laboratory notebooks. These notebooks span the period from 1901-1929 and include Lillie's detailed observations on his scientific work, most of it conducted at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The series also includes drafts of Lillie's articles, lectures and demonstrations as well as a few of his published articles. Lillie's research notes highlight his interest in cattle as a focus for his work on experimental embryology, fertilization, sex hormones, and sex differentiation.
