Professor Walter G. Moore Endowed Fund in Ecology
|
|
Professor Walter G. Moore
served as a faculty member in the Department of Biological Sciences
for over 30 years, until his retirement in 1979.
Dr. Moore was a warm, engaging, and dedicated professor in our department
who was known as "the ecologist" at Loyola during his career here.
His general biology, zoology, comparative anatomy, embryology, and
ecology courses were enjoyed by literally thousands Loyola undergraduates,
who then went on to careers of their own in the health professions,
education, and environmental biology. His love of ecology, and
especially of the biology of fairy shrimps, was shared with many students
in field trips to our local bayous, swamps, lakes and marshes.
When Dr. Moore passed away in 1999, his family, friends, and current Biology faculty thought it fitting to establish an endowed fund that will support an annual Lecture in Ecology in his name. This lectureship will allow us to bring eminent ecologists to our campus to enrich the lives of our current students and to celebrate the memory of Dr. Moore's contributions to ecology at Loyola. |
