PREFACE RHYTHMS IN FISHES SYMPOSIUM: A TRIBUTE TO MILTON STETSON - 1943 - 2002
Professor Milton H. Stetson died on June 27, 2002, while working on a sabbatical leave at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology of the University of Hawaii. Born in 1943 in Springfield, MA, to Milton and Evelyn Stetson, he later moved to Windsor, CT. After high school, he continued his education at Central Connecticut University in New Britain. He received his Master and Doctorate degrees from the University of Washington in Seattle.
Dr. Stetson served as a Postdoctoral Fellow under Michael Menaker at the University of Texas at Austin. Milt Settson came to the University of Delaware in 1973, where he served as Professor, and Associate Director of Graduate Programs and Research in the School of Life and Health Sciences, and Director of the School of Life and Health Sciences. In 1998, he became an Affiliate Professor at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, a marine station of the University of Hawaii, situated on Coconut Island, Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii.
While serving at the University of Delaware, Professor Stetson authored, co-authored, or edited nearly 200 scientific publications in various research areas, such as vertebrate reproduction, neuroendocrinology, comparative endocrinology, circadian physiology, pineal physiology and vertebrate photoperiodism. In addition, he trained 13 graduate students, 10 of whom received the degree of PhD. Professor Stetson served on many committees, refereed articles for several scientific journals, and refereed grants for NSF, NIH, USDA and EPA.
Always an avid fisherman, Milt Stetson knew how enjoyed also golf, gardening, crossword puzzles, bowling, and reading. We all remember Milt by all for his enormous generosity and his outrageous sense of humor.
