Professor A. R. Middleton
Dies After Retirement
The University of Louisville was saddened last week by the
sudden death of Dr. Austin R. Middleton, the founder of U of L's
biology department. Dr. Middleton, who was 76, was on the staff
of the biology department as professor emeritus since his retire­ment
several years ago. He died of
pneumonia at the Veteran's Hos­pital
after being hospitalized
since ApriJ 5.
Dr. Middleton, who had been
professor of zoology here at the
university for forty years, was
born in Baltimore and graduated
from the Baltimore Teachers­Training
School in 1902. .Eight
years later he received his de­gree
from John Hopkins and was
a member of a scientific expedi­tion
to Jamaica.
He came to Louisville in 1916,
a year after receiving his doctor's
degree from John Hopkins.
After a 35 year study, Dr. Mid­dleton
demonstrated in 1947 that
a ·human being does not inherit
the acquired characteristics of
his parents. His contribution to
science has been great, for he
was a member of many scientific
and educational organizations, as
well as the author of a college
biology textbook and numerous
articles on scientific research.
Dr. Middleton was also the fac-

served in this capacity for many
years.
