Vernon I. Cheadle Student Travel Awards
DR. VERNON I. CHEADLE is remembered as a great
teacher for the courses he taught at the University of Rhode Island and the
University of California at Davis, but is most noted for his work as a botanical
research scientist. Much of his collection work remains a significant part of
botanical history as "The Vernon I. Cheadle and Katherine Esau Structural
Botanical Collections", and is now housed at the Museum of Systematics
and Ecology in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology at the
University of California, Santa Barbara. Dr. Cheadles contributions span 60
years and include over 6,000 preserved (pickled) plant specimens, 64,000 microscope
slides supporting the specimens, field collection information including photographs,
herbarium voucher sheets, tracheary cell measurements, and general anatomical
information is contained in the extensive data card files. The websites for
the The Vernon I. Cheadle and Katherine Esau Structural Botanical Collections
can be found at: http://www.lifesci.ucsb.edu/~mseweb/cheadle_esau/
