The career of Frank Rattray Lillie (1870-1947) as teacher, researcher, and "statesman of science," began under the tutelage of Charles O. Whitman. After Lillie received his doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1894, he entered upon a lifetime of fruitful zoological research. His primary interests were in experimental embryology, fertilization, sex hormones, and sex differentiation. In addition to research, much of Lillie's time was consumed by administration. First among his many accomplishments was the development of the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. During his chairmanship of the Zoology Department at the University of Chicago, 1910 to 1931, Lillie not only maintained an active research program but also revitalized the teaching program on both the graduate and the undergraduate levels. He held presidencies in the National Research Council and the National Academy of Science. In 1931, Lillie became Dean of the Biological Sciences Division of the University of Chicago.
