		The legacy that Osborn left to the study of human origins was not altogether shiny.
		Osborn was confident that he could discern the race of long-dead artists, simply by examining the artistic merits of their work.

		His great-grandfather, Thomas Osborne, was a soldier in the Continental army during the Revolutionary war and was mortally wounded in the battle of Monmouth, and his first ancestor in America, John Osborne, emigrated from England and settled in East Windsor, Conn., in 1645.
		Their second son, William Headley Osborne, born in 1870, graduated from the U.S. Military academy in 1891, served in the campaign against Santiago in the war with Spain as lieutenant in the 1st U.S. cavalry, and died of typhoid fever in the military camp at Montauk Point, N.Y., Aug. 23, 1898.
		Eleazer Osborn pursued his elementary studies in the district school in his early boyhood, and later was a pupil at the Binghamton Academy for a number of terms; but he learned best and most from his father, who took great pains with his instruction.

	Taxonomy II: Nomenclature
		Henry Fairfield Osborn was one of the largest figures in the history of paleontology.
		Osborn was the first curator of vertebrate paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History, in New York, and its first scientist-president.
		Tyrannosaurus rex (Osborn, 1905) is a name that is eluding one of the cardinal rules of taxonomy, the principle of priority, which requires that in cases where synonyms are known to occur, the first name given to a species is recognized as the authentic one.

		Osborn apparently began to have doubts about his identification of the tooth shortly before the Scopes "monkey trial" in July 1925, and he stopped mentioning it in his publications.
		Osborn, however, did not attempt to bury the meager evidence of H. haroldcookii in a drawer at the American Museum.
		Osborn appeared to be gearing up for a clash with Bryan when, in a series of essays published in May 1925, he singled out the Great Commoner as the man who would be on trial in Tennessee (Osborn, 1925b).

	Frederick Henry Osborn Papers, American Philosophical Society
		Osborn represented a distinct strain of reformed eugenics, and is credited by later eugenicists with providing the "American movement with a program that abandoned the race- and class-consciousness of an earlier period and that tied eugenics closely to science" (Social Biology 16, 1969, 58).
		Osborn's service in the Red Cross during the First World War is reflected in two very interesting reports he filed from the field in 1918, and there is some material to document his work as Chief of the Morale Branch of the War Department during the Second World War.
		Osborn's military experiences are documented in his diaries from the First and Second World Wars (which are also supplied in typescript) and in several folders marked "United States Army Information and Education Division." Perhaps more informative are several speeches stemming from his role with the Morale Branch of the War Department.

		Henry Fairfield Osborn (1857-1935): a student of E.D. Cope, Osborn was instrumental in catapulting the American Museum of Natural History into its present day position as one of the finest natural history institutions in the world.
		Osborn was from affluent background, the son of a 19th Century robber-baron who had accrued a fortune in railroads, and his wealth and social skills, as much as his brilliance and ambition, are largely responsible for the fame of the AMNH today.
		Among Osborn's more inspired decisions was hiring Barnum Brown as a collector for the museum.

		Henry Fairfield Osborn graduated at Princeton in 1877 and pursued his interest in the biological sciences and paleontology through additional study at several New York City medical schools and with Thomas Henry Huxley in Britain.
		Returning to the United States, Osborn accepted a position at Princeton, teaching natural sciences from 1881 until 1891, when he moved to Columbia University to organize the Biology Department there, and in 1891, he also helped to organize the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History.
		Like Osborn, Scott traveled to Europe after his graduation to continue his education, landing at Heidelberg, where he took specialized course work in embryology and paleontology, and also like Osborn, Scott returned to his alma mater to teach, working at Princeton for the remainder of his career.

	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Henry Fairfield Osborn
		Henry Fairfield Osborn was the leader of the American Museum of Natural History for a quarter of a century, and to him must go the lion's share of the credit for its movement into the limelight during that period as the world's top such institution.
		Osborn was also a professor at Columbia and head of the vertebrate paleontology department at the AMNH for many years.
		Osborn had a bent for theorizing, especially when it came to evolution: he was not a fan of natural selection, preferring to recognize various "laws," mostly of morphological trends, that were based on his paleontological investigations.

		One of the earliest American adherents of eugenics was Henry Fairfield Osborn, the president from 1908 to 1933 of the American Museum of Natural History and a respected paleontologist and geologist who taught at both Princeton and Columbia University.
		Among the exhibits was one by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases that shows "The Brains of Criminals." Eugenicists often focused on the head to explain the difference between the "fit" and the "unfit," whether by measuring the head, examining its shape, or peering at the brain inside it.
		Osborn had encountered American eugenics just as it was beginning to organize in the early years of the twentieth century.

		Osborn was a leading eugenist in the days when many believed that the "unfit" should be weeded out rather than cared for under public health measures which coddled weaklings, allowed them to reproduce, ultimately lead to an inferior stock.
		Among the leaders of the new, environmental eugenics is Frederick Osborn of Manhattan, 51-year-old nephew of the late Henry Fairfield.
		Osborn points out that, contrary to popular belief, the rate of reproduction among the mentally afflicted is quite low.

		Harold Cook, a rancher and geologist from Nebraska, had found the tooth in 1917, and in 1922 he sent it to Henry Fairfield Osborn, a paleontologist and the president of the American Museum of Natural History.

	Review of Osborn
		That is the opinion Dr. Osborn favours; with Boule, he presses the races which have left us the rich records of the pre-Chellean, Chellean, and Acheulean cultures within the bounds of the third interglacial period–one to which he allows a period of some 100,000 years.
		Osborn has his own way of getting rid of him; the part of our 100-foot terrace in which he was found is, in his opinion, only of late Pleistocene date.
		So far as Dr. Osborn is concerned, our ancestors do not appear on the stage until the glacial period is drawing to a close, some 25,000 years ago.
