Began with a wildcard search for “a few * days” that landed me at an American Druggist and Pharmaceutical Record notice (in 1896) of a fellowship awarded to Clara Langenbeck (1868 – 1933?) for a year’s study abroad. Who she was? What was her course, after graduating from the Cincinnati College of Pharmacy in 1890?
Her paper in this volume, based on work done at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, is “Formation of the Germ Layers in the Amphipod Microdeutopus Gryllotalpa Costa” (June 1898) : 301-336 (University of California copy)
opens to same page 301 in beautifully scanned copy at Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology (Philadelphia).
