Arthur White Greeley

Arthur White Greeley (June 13, 1875 – March 15, 1904) was an American physiologist and ichthyologist.

[1] He graduated from Stanford University in 1898, and spent one year as a graduate student in zoology, during which he went to Alaska with the fur-seal expedition and to Brazil with the Banner-Agassiz expedition, where he made most of the biological collections.

Two years later he took his doctorate of philosophy under Jacques Loeb with a thesis on the action of low temperatures on micro-organisms, and was then appointed Assistant Professor of Zoology at the Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

For three summers he was a member of the staff of instruction in physiology at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Hole, Massachusetts.

He died in St. Louis, after an operation for appendicitis, on March 15, 1904, at the age of twenty-eight.
