"The late Anna Botsford Comstock was the founder and first head of
the Department of Nature Study at Cornell University and the first
woman to be appointed to the Cornell faculty. Written originally
for elementary school teachers, this book is as valid and helpful
today as it was when it was first written in 1911."
The Comstocks of Cornell is the autobiography written by the
naturalist educator Anna Botsford Comstock about her life and that
of her husband, the entomologist John Henry Comstockâboth
prominent figures in the scientific community and in Cornell
University history. A first edition was published in 1953, but it
omitted key Cornellians, historical anecdotes, and personal
insights. In this twenty-first-century edition, Karen Penders St.
Clair restores the author's voice by reconstructing the entire
manuscript as Anna Comstock wrote itâand thereby preserves
Comstock's memories of the personal and professional lives of the
couple as she originally intended. The book includes an epilogue
documenting the Comstocks' last years and fills in gaps from the
1953 edition. Described as serious legacy work, this book is an
essential part of the history of both Cornell University and its
press.
