 Mss. Gr. 181 The records are in English. Biographical or Historical Information

Robert William Harrison was born November 3, 1915, in Napoleon, Ohio, the fourth of seven children in his family. Harrison lived the early part of his life in Napoleon, graduating from Napoleon High School in 1934. He began studying at Oberlin College, in Oberlin, Ohio, with the intention of becoming a medical doctor, taking courses emphasizing the biological sciences, and graduating in 1938 with a B.A. in chemistry and zoology. He began the graduate program in Physical Education at Springfield College, in Springfield, MA, but transferred to the biology program at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT, in 1939. He was granted his M.A. in Biology the same year, writing his thesis on the genetic anomaly of hunchback in the fish, lebistes reticulatus. Harrison studied at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, MA in the summers of 1939 and 1941, studying Physiology and receiving a certificate in Marine Invertebrate Zoology.

Harrison began attending Yale University in 1941, working on his M.S. in Zoology. He received his degree the following year, then joined the Naval Reserve, serving active duty until 1946. During his time in the Navy, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant in the Medical Service Corps, serving at Quonset Point, R.I., and in Pensacola, Florida. Harrison participated in research on high altitude training, pilot survival training, and aviation physiology, and authored a research report, An Analysis of a Random Sample of Navy Air-Sea Rescues, in 1946.

Following his active duty service, Harrison remained in the Naval Reserve, becoming the commanding officer of Naval Research Company 1-2, and was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1965. He later became Assistant Chief of Naval Research.

When Harrison completed his active duty at the end of World War II, he returned to Yale. He completed his Ph.D. in zoology in 1949, writing his dissertation, Studies on the Dissociation of Biochemical and Morphological Aspects of Embryonic Development. Throughout his time as a graduate student, at Springfield, Wesleyan, and Yale, Harrison had supported his studies by serving as a teaching assistant. During his Ph.D. work, he also received a National Cancer Institute Research Fellowship.

In 1949 Harrison came to the University of Rhode Island as an instructor in the Zoology Department. Until his retirement in 1977, he taught several courses in physiology, including Human Physiology, General and Cellular Physiology, the Physiology of Exercise, and occasional seminars in zoology. He also taught several courses at Brown University and Wesleyan University in the summers of 1957 and 1958. In addition to his teaching, Harrison supervised graduate research and undergraduate independent work, and acted as advisor to many students, including those preparing for medical, dental, and veterinary studies.

Harrison was actively involved in the governance of the University. He was active in the Faculty Senate from its inception in 1960 until his retirement, and served on a number of Senate committees, including the Executive Committee, the Constitution and By-Laws Committee, and the Curricular Affairs Committee. He served as Chairman of the Faculty Senate from 1963-64, and as Parliamentarian of the Senate, the Arts and Sciences Faculty, and the URI General Faculty. Activity in other organizations included the American Association of University Professors, Graduate Faculty, Graduate Council, and Faculty Center Association. He served as Acting Chairman of the Zoology Department in 1974-75, and as Chairman of the Biological Sciences Faculty Assembly (the Bio-Café) in 1966-67. He also served as Associate Dean for Academic Programs of the URI Division of University Extension in Providence from 1968-69, then as Acting Dean of the Extension from 1969-70.

Harrison was involved in a number of research projects during his time at URI, both independently and working with graduate students. Several of the research projects were published as papers in professional journals or were presented as lectures at conferences. He worked as a consultant at the URI Crime Lab in the late 1950s and early 1960s, examining crime scene evidence for local and state police, and for the Rhode Island Department of Health, and doing research to improve the accuracy of several techniques of evidence analysis in criminal investigations. Harrison did critical reviews of manuscripts for Holt, Rinehart, and Winston publishers, and planned a textbook, to be titled “Applied Physiology of Physical Activity,” which was never completed.

Some of the professional organizations of which he was a member included the American Academy of Sports Medicine, the American Society of Zoologists, American Institute of Biological Sciences, American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Physiological Society, and the Rhode Island Academy of Science, among others. He also actively maintained his connection with Oberlin College, as a member of the Heisman Club, and as an Alumni Admissions Representative for the Rhode Island area. He maintained a close connection to the Boy Scouts of America for much of his life, becoming an Eagle Scout in 1932, and later a Scoutmaster for Kingston Troop 1, and a member of the Narragansett District Committee.

From the time he began teaching at URI, Harrison lived in South County, R.I.; in Kingston from 1949-75, then in Wakefield until 2005. He was active in many local organizations, clubs, and in politics. He was a member of the South Kingstown Republican Town Committee, and chaired the Bipartisan Commission to Review Town Government for the Town Council in 1965-66. He was on the Board of Directors of the Animal Rescue League of South County, a member of the University Club, and active in the Kingston Congregational Church, where he was on the Board of Trustees, and on several church committees. He also sang in the church choir, and with the South County Chamber Singers Chorus.

Harrison was married twice; first, in 1943, to Marion Billings. They had three daughters, Suzanne in 1945, and twins Barbara and Elizabeth in 1946. They divorced in 1973, and in 1974 Harrison married a former classmate from his time at Oberlin College, Ruth (Lightner) Hastings. A lifelong athlete, he played football at Napoleon High School and for the Oberlin Yeomen, becoming captain of the Oberlin team in 1937. He remained active throughout his life, regularly bicycling, playing handball, and actively sailing, maintaining memberships in the Point Judith Yacht Club and the U.S. Yacht Racing Union. Robert Harrison died on January 31, 2005.

The University Committees series contains documents relating to Harrisons work as a member of various University of Rhode Island committees. Harrison was active in university governance, and held the position of Parliamentarian in the Faculty Senate, the Arts and Sciences Faculty, and the URI General Faculty. Harrison authored a number of administrative reports for various University committees, and was also involved in the creation and revision of various editions of the Faculty and University Manuals.

The largest number of records in the series relates to Harrisons involvement in the Faculty Senate and his work with various Senate committees. Harrison served in the Faculty Senate in various capacities from its inception in 1960 until his retirement in 1977. He served on the Executive Committee from 1960 to 1967, as Vice-Chairman of the Senate in 1966-67, and as Chairman in 1963-64. Harrison also served as Chairman of several Senate committees, including the Committee on Curricular Affairs, the Constitution and By-Laws Committee, and the Special Committee to Study the Faculty Center.

Other committees that have a significant amount of records in the series include the Arts and Sciences Faculty, the Faculty Center Association, the Friends of the URI Library, the Graduate Council, the Graduate Faculty, the General Faculty, and the American Association of University Professors. Records relating to the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) include documents from 1953-56, at a time when the AAUP chapter at URI was a professional organization created by the faculty that advised the administration on matters of academic freedom, salary equity, tenure, and termination of faculty. The AAUP did not represent the faculty at URI as a collective bargaining agent until 1971. Many of the documents were heavily annotated by Harrison.

 Arrangement

The Teaching and Advising series contains records pertaining to Harrison's activities as a professor of Zoology, an advisor to students, a member of graduate thesis committees, and an advisor for undergraduate independent work. While most of the documents relate to courses at the University of Rhode Island, several folders contain material from summer courses Harrison taught at Wesleyan University in 1957 and Brown University in 1958.

 Arrangement

Folders in the series are arranged alphabetically by title, with folders containing materials on specific courses labeled by course code. Since course names and codes changed a number of times during Harrisons time at URI, course codes are arranged under the following headings:

Zool 19: represents Histology

Zool 141: represents General (Cellular) Physiology

Zool 41: represents General and Comparitive Physiology, which had the course number 141 from 1950-1955, and 41 from 1955-1970

Zool 42: represents courses in Human Physiology. Some Human Physiology courses could be taken for graduate or undergraduate credit, and had both lecture and laboratory sections. The specific course titles represented by this folder heading are Zool 42: Introduction to Human Physiology, which Harrison taught from 1952-1965, and Zool 142: Advanced Human Physiology, which was introduced in 1960, and was offered until 1965. The two courses were merged into a single course offering in 1965, and the course number and title became Zool 42: Human Physiology. The course number was changed again in 1967 to Zool 143 and 144, for the lecture and laboratory sections. In 1970, the course title and number were changed to Zool 142: Introductory Human Physiology, and again in 1973, to Zool 242, with the laboratory section as Zool 244.

Zool 43: represents the course Physiology of Muscular Activity, which had the course number Zool 43 from 1950-1970, and Zool 143 from 1970-1973. The course title and number changed to Zool 343: Physiology of Exercise, in 1973.

L.S. 361: represents the course The Oceans, which Harrison taught at Wesleyan Universitys summer session in 1957.

Biol 113: represents the course Experimental Biology, taught as a part of Brown University's Graduate Summer School for Teachers in 1958.

The Research and Publications series contains documents dating from 1934-1976, relating to Harrison's research projects, presentations at professional conferences, and materials prepared for publication. The documents pertain to research conducted while he was a graduate student, a professor at URI, and serving in the U.S. Navy Medical Service Corps. Harrison also acted as a consultant at the URI Crime Lab, testing crime scene evidence for local and state police in Rhode Island, as well as for the Rhode Island Department of Health. While working in the Crime Lab, he also conducted several studies to refine scientific techniques used in criminal investigations. Research studies represented in the series include: Genetics of Lebistes: The Nature and Inheritance of Hunchback, (1940-1941), Harrison s M.A. thesis at Wesleyan University. The study is referred to as "Lebistes Study" in folder titles. Studies on the Dissociation of Biochemical and Morphological Aspects of Embryonic Development, (1947-1949), Harrison's Ph.D. dissertation from Yale University. The study is referred to as "Embryonic Development Study" in folder titles. Dispersion of Radio Opaque Particles in the Stomach and Intestine, a study conducted with Frederick R. Steggerda, professor in the Physiology Department at the University of Illinois, during Harrison's sabbatical from URI in 1959. The study is referred to as "Dispersion Study" in folder titles. Cytochrome Oxidase Activity and Growth of the Yolk-Free Embryo of the Grasshopper, Melanoplus Differentialis, During Development, (1967-1968), a study conducted with M. Ronald Glaser, one of Harrison's graduate students. The study is referred to as "Melanoplus Study" in folder titles. The series also includes drafts and notes for a textbook with the planned title "Applied Physiology of Physical Activity", which was never completed. There are also texts of speeches Harrison delivered before professional conferences, and manuscripts for several articles he prepared for publication. Research materials, including books and reprints of scientific articles, as well as card indexes created by Harrison, are also included in this series.

 Arrangement

Folders in the series are arranged chronologically by the date of the study. At the end of the chronological listing, folders containing article reprints and books used by Harrison for research are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author.

 Access Restrictions

Due to the confidential nature of some material in the crime lab documents, access to the records is limited by approval of the archivist.
