From the University of Minnesota College of Biological Sciences:
"Josephine Tilden, the University’s first woman scientist, was world-renowned for her studies of Pacific algae. In 1900, traveling by canoe, she discovered a largely uninhabited stretch of coastline in British Columbia with an abundance of algae and tidal pools. Recognizing the spot’s potential, Tilden contributed her own money to build a biological research station there; the Minnesota Seaside Station was completed that year. The botany department’s experiences at the station exemplified what was adventurous and new in the field of botany at the turn of the century; the research and teaching that went on there became integral parts of the department’s mission in its early years."
The present photograph shows Tilden in 1893, when she was a student under Professor Conway MacMillan (also pictured). Macmillian took Tilden and other students to Gull Lake to work on Minnesota Geological and Natural History Survey of 1893.
