	COPE - LoveToKnow Article on COPE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The substitution of the cope for the chasuble in many of the functions for which the latter had been formerly used was primarily due to the comparative convenience of a vestment opened at the front, and so leaving the arms free.
		Scarlet copes with white fur hoods have been in continuous use on ceremonial occasions in the universities, and are worn by bishops at the opening of parliament.
		With the liturgical cope may be classed the red mantle (manturn), which from the 11th century to the close of the middle ages formed, with the tiara, the special symbol of the papal dignity.

	Cope's rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cope's rule is interesting because it appears to make the apparently paradoxical suggestion that possession of large body size favours the individual but renders the clade more susceptible to extinction.
		Cope's rule, or the evolutionary trend toward larger body size, is common among mammals.
		Cope's rule has come under sustained criticism, including the observation that counterexamples to Cope's rule are common throughout geological time.

	Cope
		Cope was one of the last zoologists to explore and collect specimens under the threat of hostile Indians (and whites).
		Cope's contributions to hypogean fish research were two fold: one anecdotal regarding an alleged cave fish he described and the other philosophical as part of the American neo-Lamarckian movement.
		Cope introduced the idea that evolution was directed by trends and that ‘The method of evolution has apparently been one of successional increment or decrement of parts along definite lines’ (Cope 1896, p.

	Westtown School -- Heritage & Mission -- Cope
		Cope was never on the side of the great powers of the period either in science or government, for both in intellectual equipment and in life history there is a strong parallel between Cope and his great French Revolutionary predecessor, Lamarck.
		Though Cope was clearly an amazing scientist, he also became notorious because of his “bone war”; with Yale paleontologist Professor O.C. Marsh, a competition that was played out in the field and in academic journals for decades, finally reaching the New York Herald in January of 1890.
		Though Cope’s high abilities, just beginning to develop in his years at Westtown, were to be central to his adult work, so however, was the cultivation of scientific practices that were already solidly established at the school, and surrounded him there where he completed his formal education, never taking a university degree.

		Cope was a professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at Penn, 1888-1897, and part of the Penn-based explosion of knowledge about the physical world and the human form.

	Handbook of Texas Online: COPE, EDWARD DRINKER
		Edward Drinker Cope, naturalist, the son of Alfred and Hannah Cope, was born on July 28, 1840, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
		Cope made field studies of fossil vertebrates in the East and became an authority on paleontology and zoology.

	Edward Drinker Cope
		Edward Drinker Cope was born in Philadelphia in 1840.
		Cope is probably most famous for being one of the adversaries in the "Great Bone Wars," as his rivalry with Othniel Marsh is often described (see my article about Marsh).

	Rocky Road: Edward Drinker Cope
		Cope was so mortified at his mistake that he tried to buy up all the printed copies of the publication in which the fossil was described, but Marsh wouldn't let this mistake die.
		Cope even willed his own body to science, but when his bones were delivered, they were badly decalcified and shelved.
		(Cope's brain remains in the Wistar Institute, near that of another great 19th-century paleontologist: Joseph Leidy.) Cope's skull (like most) appeared to be grinning, but his life was not always a happy one.

		Edward Drinker Cope was a member of the faculty from 1889 to 1897, first as Professor of Geology and Mineralogy andthen, in 1896, assuming the Chair of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy long occupied by Leidy.
		Cope's somewhat turbulent sojourn as a professor almost came to an end in 1890 when he made a mighty but futile publiceffort to oust his arch-rival Marsh from control of the Paleontology Department of the United States Geological Survey and from the presidency of the National Academy of Sciences.

		As Cope later put it: "The discovery of this animal filled a hiatus in the Cretaceous Fauna, revealing the carnivorous enemy of the great Herbivorous Hadrosaurus, as the Aublysodon was related to the Trachodon of the Nebraska beds, and the Megalosaurus to the Iguanodon of the European Wealden and Oolite.
		Cope described his find in a number of scientific journals, but he chose a popular journal for a pictorial reconstruction of the dinosaurs of New Jersey.
		It is well known in the history of paleontology that Cope initially reconstructed the skeleton with the head on the wrong end, that is, on the end of the tail.

		The methods Cope and Marsh used to control and divert fossils inevitably guided the expansion and settling of these lands, and Wallace argues forcefully that this competition started the boom of unsustainable growth that we are only now beginning to recognize.
		Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh stooped to nearly every form of chicanery, bombast, and personal vituperation in their quest to become the United States' foremost palaeontologist.
		Wallace begins with a biographical narrative of both Cope and Marsh, from their family origins and early interest in science, to their maturation as paleontologists and their initial encounters with one another, and on to their growing competition with one another and eventual implacable conflicts and feud.
