“C” is for Corrington, Julian Dana (1887-1979). Biologist, educator. Corrington was born in Arkansas and educated at Cornell University. In 1921 he joined the biology faculty at the University of South Carolina (USC). A man with broad zoological interests, Corrington began working on the then little known herpetology (study of amphibians and reptiles) of the Columbia region, an area of considerable biological importance as a result of its location on the fall line between the Piedmont and the coastal plain. He built an important collection of amphibians and reptiles at USC and published papers on his research of the local fauna. In 1926 he left USC. After holding positions at several universities in 1944 he joined the faculty of the University of Miami (Florida) where 1953 to 1957 Julian Dana Corrington was chair of the department of zoology.
