Dr. Elmer V. McCollum was the first scientist to use a rat colony for nutrition research, a methodological innovation instrumental in his discovery of vitamins A and D. A strain of rats continues to bear his name. Always a nutrition visionary and advocate of dietitians, Dr. McCollum gave much of his time and energy to dietitians and dietetic students in Maryland.  After his death in 1967, the then MDA (now MAND) Foundation established the E.V. McCollum Scholarship in his honor.  

From the library Dr. Owen Hannaway. Hannaway was director of the Center for the History and Philosophy of Science at Johns Hopkins University. He authored numerous books and served as an editor of academic magazines in the history of science. Partial list of publications: Chemists and the Word: The Didactic Origins of Chemistry (1975); Observation, Experiment, and Hypothesis in Modern Physical Science (1985); The Evolution of Technology (1989); Science and the Practice of Medicine in the Nineteenth Century (1994); and The Foundations of Modern Science in the Middle Ages: Their Religious, Institutional and Intellectual Contexts (1996).
