Description
Comstock, John Henry (1849-1931) and Anna Botsford (1854-1930). Mural photo, artist
not identified. "John Henry and Anna Botsford Comstock were pioneers of
science
since Cornell University's earliest days, they have inspired the highest
achievement in the study of entomology. For more than half a century the
Comstocks contributed to the growth and maturation of the University's
Department of Entomology, engendering in students and colleagues alike a love of
nature, a reverence for its mysteries, and a commitment to rigorous scientific
inquiry. Skilled teachers, dedicated researchers, respected friends-they were,
indeed, formative forces in the lives and careers of countless Cornellians."
