Former Professor Parker Dies at 90

George H. Parker '87, professor emeritus of Zoology, died Saturday in Boston at the age of 90.

Parker, who retired from the University in 1935, continued his work until a few years ago and even published a book in his early eighties. He specialized in the nervous system, and he extensively studied its evolution and how if affected color changes in fish and chameleons.

Except for one year as a visiting professor in the West, his entire teaching career was spent at the University, where he continued to teach the elementary Biology course.
