From an email to Wikimedia[edit]

William Patten (1861-1932) first studied under Edward Laurens Mark and Nathaniel Shaler at Harvard. Then he went to the University of Leipzig (Germany) for a doctorate from Rudolf Leuckart in 1883. His dissertation dealt with the development of Phryganids (caddisflies). Patten was later the Professor of Zoology at the University of North Dakota (Grand Forks, North Dakota). There is a short biography in (1936) Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences 70(10):566-568. He was born in Watertown, Mass. on 15 March 1861 and died in Hanover, New Hampshire on 27 October 1932.
