Adrian Srb earned a bachelor's degree in English literature and a master's degree
in agronomy from the University of Nebraska. He then earned a doctorate in biology
in 1937 from Stanford University, where he taught until coming to Cornell in 1947
as an associate professor of plant breeding. He wrote numerous articles and papers
on the genetics, physiology, and development of fungi, including the bread mold Neurospora and baker's yeast. At Cornell, he taught General Genetics, and authored the textbook
General Genetics. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1941, and to the
National Academy of Sciences in 1968. Born in 1917, Adrian Srb died in 1997.
Professional papers include correspondence with colleagues and students; class and
course notes for general genetics and human genetics courses; research materials,
including notes and charts relating to Neurospora; files relating to professional organizations, seminars, and conferences; files relating
to activities at Cornell, particularly the creation of the Division of Biological
Sciences; grant applications; and manuscripts for books.
