W. K. Davis Endowment (SD6060)

Purpose: to recognize outstanding achievement in terrestrial field studies by undergraduate students majoring in a biological science.

Honoree: W. K. Davis started teaching in the Biology Department in 1948 and retired in 1979. During this time, Professor Davis had a profound positive influence on many generations of then Southwest Texas State biology students.
His experience as a field naturalist and knowledge of wood lore, as well as his willingness to enthusiastically share this treasure with students during the many field expeditions he planner, have made him a legend in his own time.
The student members of the Biology Club during the mid 1970s elected to initiate this endowed scholarship in recognition of the priceless contributions of W. K. Davis.
