Thesis advisor?

[edit]

My understanding is that Robert Sokal's thesis advisor was the well-known entomologist Alfred E. Emerson. Someone at University of Chicago should check this (Bob's thesis should be in the University Library and this will be settled by the signature page). I think Sewall Wright was on his thesis committee. Felsenst (talk) 21:48, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The obituary by Michael Bell at the department site says Emerson, so I have changed this page Felsenst (talk) 21:52, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
