Provine, the Andrew H. and James L. Tisch Distinguished University Professor Emeritus at Cornell, was a very kind man. He was professor of the history of biology in the departments of History and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He was an expert on the history of evolution and genetics and published many seminal books in the field, notably â  The Origins of Theoretical Population Geneticsâ  (1971) and â  Sewell Wright and Evolutionary Biologyâ  (1986). â  Will was an amazing force, who survived many years with a brain tumor, all the while showing fortitude, determination and good humor.â  [Amy McCune, chair of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology]. He also accumulated a massive archive of scientific offprints [6,776] relating to evolutionary biology, given to Cornell University. â Â" Krishna Ramanujan, "William Provine, history of science scholar â ¦," obituary, Cornell Chronicle, September 9, 2015.
