Former Owner's Information On Front Free Endpaper, No Other Marks. Some Discussions Of Eugenics. Per Wikipedia, Vernon Lyman Kellogg (December 1, 1867 – August 8, 1937) Was An American Entomologist, Evolutionary Biologist, And Science Administrator. A Major Contribution Was His Study Of Bird Lice And Their Hosts. He Established The Department Of Zoology At Stanford University In 1894, And Served As The First Permanent Secretary Of The National Research Council In Washington, D.C. Kellogg Was An Elected Member Of Both The American Philosophical Society And The United States National Academy Of Sciences. He Was One Of The Professors To Build A Summer Home On What Became Known As "Professors' Row" In Carmel-By-The-Sea, California. The Home Is A Wood-Framed Redwood Craftsman-Style Cottage Built In 1906. He Was Good Friends With Stanford University President David Starr Jordan Who Also Lived There. In 1908, Kellogg Married Charlotte Hoffman And The Two Welcomed Their Only Child, Jean Kellogg Dickie, In 1910. Kellogg Was A Conservationist, An Officer Of The Sierra Club, And Enjoyed Outdoor Recreation. In Addition To His Publications On Lice, Kellogg Wrote Two Books. Darwinism Today (1907) Was A Summary Of All The Major Evolutionary Theories And A General Defense Of Darwinism. The Second Book Is Titled Headquarters Nights (1918). In July 1913, Kellogg Directed The Play Fire, By Author Mary Austin, At The Forest Theater In Carmel-By-The-Sea.

He Published An Account Of His Conversations In The Book Headquarters Nights. After The War, He Served As The First Permanent Secretary Of The National Research Council (Nrc) In Washington, D.C. He Served On The Board Of Trustees For Science Service, (Now Known As Society For Science & The Public), From 1921 To 1933. At His Retirement He Became Secretary Emeritus.…
