consists of correspondence, academic papers and reports, photo albums and prints, scrapbooks, and records of the Sumner Club.
Scope and Content of Collection
Papers of Francis Bertody Sumner, one of the first Scripps Institution of Oceanography biologists, and his family. The collection
consists of correspondence, academic papers and reports, photo albums and prints, scrapbooks, and records of the Sumner Club.
The collection is noteworthy for its material on the early days of Scripps and La Jolla, including photographs, scrapbooks,
and professional correspondence with W. E. Ritter, T. Wayland Vaughan, and high-level University of California administrators
at Berkeley. The photographic prints and albums document the Sumner family's life at Woods Hole (including images of the laboratories
in 1901-1902) and La Jolla, as well as travels to Egyptian Sudan (1899), Italy (1910), and the mountains and deserts of California
and the southwestern United States prior to 1945.
Arranged in five series: 1) CORRESPONDENCE AND BIOGRAPHICAL FILES, 2) PAPERS, 3) PHOTO ALBUMS AND PHOTOGRAPHS, 4) SUMNER CLUB
and 5) SCRAPBOOKS.
Biography
Francis Bertody Sumner (1874-1945) was a professor of biology at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He received his
undergraduate degree in 1894 from the University of Minnesota, and began work on his Ph.D. in zoology in 1895 at Columbia
University. In 1899, Sumner and two colleagues from Columbia undertook an expedition to Egypt to study African fish. Sumner
received his Ph.D. from Columbia in 1901.
Sumner was director of the Woods Hole Laboratory of the Bureau of Fisheries from 1903-1911, where he prepared a report on
all of the marine flora and fauna in the area. In 1910, he made a six-month voyage with his wife and daughter to Italy. The
trip was primarily for leisure, but Sumner did use the opportunity to visit the Stazione Zoologica in Naples. From 1911-1913,
he served as the naturalist aboard the U.S.F.C. steamer
Albatross, conducting a biological and hydrographic study of San Francisco Bay.
In 1913, Sumner was invited by W. E. Ritter to work at the Scripps Institution for Biological Research. His research focused
on geographic variation and heredity in a widely distributed group of wild mice known as Peromyscus. When the Scripps Institution
turned its focus seaward in 1925 and was renamed the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Sumner ceased his Peromyscus research
and began to study the adaptive coloration of various fishes.
The Sumner family lived in La Jolla and documented their travels in memoirs and photography. Dr. Sumner and his wife, Margaret
Clark Sumner, had two daughters and one son. Sumner worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography until his death in 1945.

Related Materials
Additional material created by members of the Sumner family, including correspondence and a memoir by Margaret Clark Sumner,
may be found in the SIO Biographical Files, SAC 5. Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego.
One scrapbook, "In California, 1915" assembled by Caroline Clark, was removed from the collection in 2016 and cataloged seperately.
Provenance
The collection contains material relating to Francis B. Sumner and his family from a variety of sources. Dr. Sumner's office
papers were sorted by Carl Leavitt Hubbs in 1944, as Sumner was preparing to retire. Dr. Hubbs disposed of Sumner's field
notes and other materials, but kept some files for his own records (which are now in the Carl Hubbs Papers collection); he
presumably returned others to the family, and may have donated the folders of Sumner correspondence now located in the SIO
Biographical Files (SAC 5). Many of the photographs, negatives and family papers in SMC 11 were from Dr. Sumner's home and
personal files, and were donated in 1981 and 1985 by his daughter Florence Sumner Henderson (original nitrate negatives were
copied and destroyed several years later).
The Sumner Club records were donated to the SIO Archives in 1982, along with conveyance of all rights and interests to the
UC Regents, by Denis L. Fox and Claude E. ZoBell. Because the first minutes and some related correspondence regarding the
Club were found in the Sumner Papers, it was decided to merge the Club records into the collection. Finally, one family album
assembled by Florence Sumner Henderson, "Memories of La Jolla," was donated to the SIO Archives in 2011. It was photographed
and disbound for preservation reasons at the time of accessioning. That album has been included in the Sumner Papers and begins
in Box 2, Folder 6.
One scrapbook, Caroline Clark's "In California, 1915" travel journal, was removed from the collection in 2016 and cataloged
separately.
