Biographical Information
Background and Education
Samuel Jackson Holmes was born in 1868 to Joseph Holmes and Avis Folger née Taber. In 1890, attracted to the work of Joseph
LeConte, Holmes matriculated at the University of California. Following receipt of his Sc.D. in Zoology in 1893, and his M.Sc.
in Zoology in 1894, Holmes attended the University of Chicago, and earned his Ph.D. there in 1897.
Academic Career and Professional Life
Following his doctoral examinations, Holmes taught high school science in San Diego for one year, then spent the next fourteen
years as a member of the faculty at the Departments of Zoology at the University of Michigan (1899-1904) and the University
of Wisconsin (1905-1911). In 1912 Holmes returned to Berkeley to replace his former teacher and mentor, Harry Beal Torrey,
in the Department of Zoology. He became a full professor in the department in 1917. His primary areas of teaching and research
included experimental morphogenesis, genetics, animal behavior, and eugenics. Holmes retired his position at the department
in 1938, but remained very involved in campus life until his death. During the University of California Loyalty Oath Controversy
(1949-1952), Holmes strongly opposed what he perceived as a direct threat to the academic freedom of university faculty.
Holmes was active in a variety of professional organizations. He served as President of the American Society of Naturalists,
as well as chairman of the American Association of University Professors' Committee on Freedom of Teaching in Science.
Holmes also served on the initial board of the Human Betterment Foundation, and on the Advisory Board of the National Society
for the Legality of Euthanasia.
Publications and Research Interests
Besides composing a number of technical articles and textbooks, including
The Biology of the Frog (1907),
The Evolution of Animal Intelligence (1911),
Studies in Animal Behavior (1916), and
General Biology (1937), he also wrote a biography,
Louis Pasteur (1924, 1961), as well as philosophical discourses:
Life and Morals (1948), and the unfinished
Ethics of Enmity (circa 1964).
Holmes often sought to apply his extensive technical knowledge and research experience to questions with broad social implications.
Holmes composed a number of monographs and articles related to eugenics. These works include
Studies in Evolution and Eugenics (1923),
Life and Evolution (1926),
The Trend of the Race (1921),
A Bibliography of Eugenics (1924),
Differential Mortality in the American Negro (1931), as well as
The Eugenic Predicament (1933), and
The Negro's Struggle for Survival (1937).
Family Life
Holmes married Cecilia Warfield Skinner in 1909. They had five children: Samuel, John, Joseph, Avis and Marion.
Samuel Jackson Holmes died on March 5, 1964, at the age of 95.
Scope and Content of Collection
The Samuel J. Holmes papers, 1837-1964 (bulk 1894-1964), include correspondence, manuscript drafts, research files, notes,
and biographical materials documenting the career and family life of Samuel Jackson Holmes, a professor in the Department
of Zoology at the University of California from 1912-1938.
The majority of the collection comprises Holmes's correspondence and unpublished writings, including drafts, notes, and research
for his unfinished manuscript entitled The Ethics of Enmity. These latter materials, many of which arrived loose and unlabeled,
have been foldered and supplied with titles by the processing archivist. Less well-represented in the collection are administrative
materials relating to Holmes's faculty position at the University of California, along with course materials and lecture notes
from the University of California and elsewhere. Limited materials regarding the University of California Loyalty Oath Controversy
provide one of the few available windows into Holmes' activity in this area.
Biographical materials relating to Holmes's family life have been retained in the collection, as have other materials documenting
the lives of various members of the Holmes, Taber, and Allen families. Diaries, legal documents including land deeds and wills,
children's notebooks, clippings, and awards fall into this category. Photographs of family members that arrived with the collection
have been separated and transferred to the Pictorial Collections of The Bancroft Library.
Some materials in the collection document Holmes's leadership role in the United States eugenics movement of the early 20th
century. Holmes described his interest in eugenics as a logical extension of the conclusions he had reached in his research
on genetic inheritance. Holmes' views in this area (including his advocacy of sterilization and euthanasia) are well represented
in this collection through his correspondence and writings, as well interviews and statements to the press.
