Biography
Edward A. Steinhaus was a noted entomologist and academic known for his extensive work in insect pathology and was the first
Dean of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). He was born on November 7, 1914 in
Max, North Dakota and entered North Dakota Agricultural College (now North Dakota State University) in 1932, graduating with
a B.S. in Bacteriology in 1936. In 1939 he received his Ph.D. in Bacteriology, with a minor in entomology, from Ohio State
University. He stayed at Ohio State University for another year, engaged in post-doctoral research. In 1940 he married Mabry
Clark.
From 1940 to 1944 Steinhaus was employed as a bacteriologist at the US Public Health Service Rocky Mountain Laboratory in
Hamilton, Montana, where he conducted research primarily on tick-borne diseases and associated vaccines. He resigned from
the Rocky Mountain Laboratory when he was appointed Assistant Professor of Bacteriology at the University of California, Berkeley
(UCB) in 1944.
At UCB Steinhaus was concerned mainly with bacteriology but also worked as a consultant to various agencies and organizations
on arthropod-borne microorganisms of medical value. He was later transferred to the Division of Beneficial Insect Investigations
and in 1945 he helped establish the Laboratory of Insect Pathology within this Division. He also began teaching courses in
insect pathology during this time and compiled a textbook to support his courses,
Insect Microbiology, which was published in 1946. This publication was followed by
Principles of Insect Pathology in 1949, which also served as a course textbook.
Steinhaus' continued interest in the relationship between insect pathology and microbial control motivated him to found the
Journal of Insect Pathology which later expanded its focus and was renamed
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology. He served as editor-in-chief for these publications until 1969. In addition to his research and teaching duties at UCB,
he was highly active in a number of scientific professional organizations, including the Entomological Society of America
(ESA). In addition he continued to publish his research findings, work as a consultant, and serve as an editor and on editorial
boards for journals such as
Annual Review of Entomology,
Journal of Entomology, and Virology. From 1962 to 1963 he served as President of the ESA. In 1960 Steinhaus established a separate Department of Insect Pathology
at UCB, which he administered as Chairman until 1963.
University of California, Irvine (UCI) Chancellor Daniel Aldrich invited Steinhaus to become Dean of the School of Biological
Sciences at the new campus in April 1963. Steinhaus accepted the appointment, becoming the first dean and faculty member at
UCI. At UCI Steinhaus was responsible for the creation of a new, integrated curriculum espousing a "levels" approach to biology
from molecules to the biosphere, which differed from traditional divisions between bacteriology, botany, and zoology. He was
also responsible for developing the Psychobiology Department within the School of Biological Sciences. He taught courses in
biological sciences and public policy, the latter of which eventually served as a model for the University Studies Program
at UCI, in which senior professors taught courses for a non-major audience in areas of particular personal interest.
While on sabbatical in 1967, Steinhaus resigned as Dean and began to create plans for a UCI Center for Pathobiology. The Center
was approved by campus administration in February 1969. It was intended to promote wide-ranging research in diseases in all
living organisms; store pathological specimens; and serve as a repository for rare books, manuscripts, and other items relating
to pathobiology. Steinhaus was appointed Head, a position in which he served until his death in October 1969.

of California: In Memoriam."

include slides from the dedication ceremony of Steinhaus Hall in 1970, in addition to Vision, Courage, Accomplishment: the
Life of Edward A. Steinhaus (Irvine: UCI Center for Pathobiology, 1970), a posthumous, memorial publication produced by UCI.
UCI materials also include numerous topical files maintained by Steinhaus during his tenure as Dean of the School of Biological
Sciences. These topical files contain material on a wide range of subjects, such as his professional activities, research,
grants, and writings, and associated materials may be found in other files throughout this series. Files are arranged alphabetically
according to the office filing system and original folder headings are used whenever possible. Numbers are associated with
the original file headings and have been included when present; a key to this numerical system is not, however, present in
the collection. These numbers begin with the digits 500 through 599 and are placed within parentheses.
Professional activities and associations files document Steinhaus' extensive involvement in the scientific community while
employed at UCI, particularly with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the National Research Council of the NAS, and the
Society for Invertebrate Pathology. These materials were not interfiled with related materials found in Series 1. Early academic
and professional career files during processing, and the original order of these files was maintained whenever possible.
His research materials from this period, which include data sheets, notes, and some photographs, are primarily concerned with
teratology. Miscellaneous materials include numerous anecdotes, clippings, and quotes collected by Steinhaus.
Arrangement note
This series is arranged topically. Files within topical groupings are arranged alphabetically by topic, organization, or form
of material. For related materials documenting Steinhaus' professional activities and involvement in scientific organizations,
see Series 1. Early academic and professional career files.

Scope and Contents note
This series consists of Steinhaus' published and unpublished works, and writings about Steinhaus. The bulk of this series
comprises journal articles. Files also include drafts, proofs, and reviews for Steinhaus' three major publications, Insect
Microbiology (New York: Comstock Pub. Co., 1946), Insect Pathology: an Advanced Treatise (New York: Academic Press, 1963),
and Principles of Insect Pathology (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1949).
Most of his published articles are bound in a multi-volume collection, Publications, 1938-1971 in the form of preprints, offprints,
and reprints. Published articles that appear in this collection are not listed by title in this series. Published articles
that do not appear in the collection, in addition to all unpublished or apparently unpublished writings, are listed by title.
These files contain preprints, offprints, and related materials. For an additional bibliography of Steinhaus' works, see Vision,
Courage, Accomplishment (Irvine: Center for Pathobiology, 1970).
This series also contains a small group of correspondence with the University of California Press concerning royalty payments.
Arrangement note
This series is organized first by form of material, followed by title of the book, article, or chapter. Book and journal titles
are placed in italics. Published article and chapter titles are placed in quotes.
