Biographical Note

Geneticist and Nobel prize laureate. Muller was born and schooled in New York City, receiving an A.B., M.A. and in 1915 his Ph.D. from Columbia University. His first faculty appointment was at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He then accepted a two-year appointment as instructor at Columbia hoping it would lead to a permanent position. In 1920, however, Muller accepted an offer from the University of Texas. In Austin his experiments on fruit flies ( Drosophila) first showed that exposure to radiation caused mutation in living organisms. This work would earn Muller the 1946 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Muller applied for and won a Guggenheim fellowship in 1932 and left the U.S. in September to spend a year at the only Drosophila laboratory in Europe which was doing parallel work, Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research. As the Nazi take over of the German government, the persecution of Jews, and the burning of forbidden books increased through 1933, Muller accepted a position at the Institute of Genetics in Leningrad. He had been elected a corresponding member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, under whose auspices and budget basic research was carried out in the USSR, and in Leningrad for the first time he had an appointment as a full-time research scientist without teaching responsibilities. In December, 1934, he and his research group moved to Moscow. By 1936 Stalin was beginning his reign of terror with hundreds of arrests and executions, including prominent scientists who were falsely accused of Trotskyism. Stalin began influencing the outcome of scientific research and bitter disagreements with Trofim D. Lysenko, whose theories on genetics reflected party line politics, pushed Muller to enlist in the Spanish Republican cause as the best way of getting out of the Soviet Union. Although he worked for just eight weeks in Madrid during the spring of 1937, his service provided the immunity he needed for a permanent departure from the USSR in good standing and with the least damage to the reputations of his Russian colleagues.

After leaving the Soviet Union in September 1937, Muller spent some weeks in Paris at Boris Ephrussi's laboratory before accepting an offer from F.A.E. Crew at the Institute of Animal Genetics in Edinburgh. Originally a temporary appointment, Muller was soon awarded a three-year Macauley Research Fellowship as well as some supplemental Rockefeller Foundation support to run his laboratory. It was during this period that he met a young German refugee named Dorothea Kantorowicz who had been appointed as a technician in the Institute's pregnancy laboratory. They were married in May 1939. The outbreak of war later that year greatly affected the working habits of the institute, and Crew initiated a determined effort to get Muller and his research placed in an American university. Despite failing to obtain any position offers the Mullers left for New York , via Lisbon, in September 1940. A month later Harold Plough offered Muller a temporary position at Amherst College in Massachusetts, an undergraduate liberal-arts college. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor Plough left Amherst for full-time service as bacteriologist with the U.S. Army and Muller was then given an indefinite appointment as a professor of biology; however that appointment was ultimately determined to end in June 1945. Following a visit to Bloomington, Indiana, and interviews with zoology department faculty and President Herman B Wells, Muller was offered an appointment as research professor, meaning that he would do as much graduate teaching as he desired but would not be expected to do any undergraduate teaching. Muller remained at Indiana University until his retirement in 1964.

A year after his arrival at Indiana Muller received the Nobel Prize. He received many more awards and tributes over the years, including the Bossom Award, the Kimber Genetics Award, and several honorary doctorates. His death in 1968 came just two months before he would have received Indiana's honorary degree voted him by the Faculty Council and approved by the Trustees the year before. Muller was active in numerous scientific organizations and was in contact both personally and professionally with the leading geneticists and biologists of the day. Some correspondents represented in the collection include: Edgar Altenburg, Charlotte Auerbach, Gert Bonnier, Herbert Brewer, Cyril Dean Darlington, Max Delbrück, Milislav Demerec, Theodosius Dobzhansky, Carl Gottfried Hartman, Lancelot Hogben, Alexander Hollaender, Sir Julian Huxley, Joshua Lederberg, Salvador Edward Luria, Otto Lous Mohr, Gregory Pincus, Guido Pontecorvo, Carl Sagan, Tracy Sonneborn, Alfred Henry Sturtevant, Leo Szilard, Nikolai Vladimirovich Timoféev-Resovskii, and Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov.

Scope and Content Note

Consists of the papers of Hermann Joseph Muller, 1890-1967, including correspondence; writings and reprints; research and data from his work as well as from his students and colleagues; materials related to conferences and work with various professional organizations.

Elof Axel Carlson's biography of Muller, Genes, Radiation, and Society: The Life and Work of H.J. Muller (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1981) was derived largely from research in this collection.

Note on Indexing Term - "Education": Included are class notes from his courses on radiation genetics, evolution, mutation and the gene and lecture notebooks from his high school and Columbia University classes.

Arrangement

The collection is organized into the following series: I. Correspondence; II. Writings by Muller and others; III. Conferences and Meetings; IV. Indiana University; V. Organizations; VI. Research and Education; VII. Subjects; VIII. Photographs; IX. Printed; X. Clippings; XI. Audio/Visual Materials; XII. Additional.

Muller was a member and sometime chairman. In 1955 the National Academy of Sciences established a committee with six subcommittees to study the biological effects of atomic radiation. The subjects of the subcommittees were: genetic effects, pathologic effects, meteorological aspects, effects on agriculture and food supplies, disposal and dispersal of radioactive wastes, and oceanography and fisheries. The papers include correspondence, draft and summary reports, and related materials. In addition, there are other materials related to the effects of atomic radiation, mostly printed. (See also: NCRP for more publications). Known dates and places of Subcommittee meetings:

Cooney, Apr. 1, 1949; Stevenson-Kefauver Campaign Committee, regarding stopping of H-bomb tests, 1956; United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation reports, 1956-1957; other misc. articles and publications.

Most of the materials concern a statement drafted by H.J. Muller which was sent to eminent scientists across the U.S. attesting to the validity of evolution. The statement was prompted by a debate entitled "Is the theory of evolution scientifically established?" held at the Memorial Auditorium of Little Rock, Arkansas on June 29, 1966 ; (Pro) Professor R.C. Lewontin, geneticist from the University of Chicago and Dr. Thomas K. Shotwell, biology teacher at the Allen Academy, Bryan, Texas; and (Con) Professors J.C. Bales and Jack Sears, both of Harding College, Searcy, Arkansas.

Materials include: drafts and final copies of the statement, including a reprint of the statement from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, Feb. 1967 ; lists of names of signers and signed forms; related manuscript and printed items.

Subseries: Box 3 Lysenkoism

Trofim Denisovich Lysenko, geneticist, was president of the Lenin All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He discounted Mendelian theories of genetics in favor of Communist party line theories, i.e., that genetic characteristics could be altered by simply changing the environment. Debate in Russia became impossible when Lysenko announced that this theory was officially endorsed by the Central Committee. Muller denounced him as a charlatan and resigned from the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

The papers, mostly 1948-1949, include correspondence, Muller's resignation, various writings on the subject, reprints and printed articles. Also included is a folder concerning Voice of America which contains mostly correspondence about Muller's participation in broadcasts concerning Lysenkoism, 1949-1956.
