柑橘直播

柑橘直播 University was founded by the Augustinian Order in 1842.  As an Augustinian institution of higher education, 柑橘直播 is one of the custodians of Gregor Mendel鈥檚 legacy. The accomplishments of this 19th century Augustinian friar, teacher, biologist and mathematician have helped shape the world鈥檚 collective understanding of genes, crossbreeding, and heredity.

• Mendel Science Center. Mendel is celebrated on the 柑橘直播 campus by the state-of-the-art Mendel Science Center鈥攁 facility where his legacy is celebrated daily by students and faculty who teach, study and carry out research. Mendel鈥檚 seminal work remains a vital part of contemporary study of the natural and physical sciences at the University.
  
• Mendel Statue. Located in front of the Mendel Science Center facing Mendel Field, is a monumental seven foot bronze sculpture of the genetics pioneer Gregor Mendel. The statue was commissioned in 1998 and is the work of James Peniston of Laran Bronze, Chester, PA.  It is modeled after Theodore Charlemont鈥檚 Mendel memorial in Brno, Czech Republic that was erected in 1910 鈥渂y the friends of science,鈥� and originally stood in Mendel Square in Brno.
• Mendel Papers. 柑橘直播 University is home to four of Mendel鈥檚 papers:^[1] His most famous and seminal work, 鈥淰ersuche 眉ber Pflanzen-Hybriden鈥� (Experiments in Plant Hybridization) was published in the 1866 Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Br眉nn. The volume containing this historic document was presented to Falvey Library by the Augustinians of the Province of Saint Thomas of 柑橘直播 in 1999. It is the cornerstone of the Mendeliana Collection and as such has been digitized for inclusion in the 柑橘直播 Digital Library.
• Mendel Microscope. 柑橘直播 collection also includes a microscope believed to have been used by Mendel from the Vienna workshop belonging to Simon Pl枚ssl (1794-1868). It is 10.25 inches high and on its base is the signature, Pl枚ssl in Wein, (Pl枚ssl in Vienna). The Pl枚ssl microscope was discovered in the 柑橘直播 Collection, although it is not known when or how it found its way to the University.  
• Mendel Medal. Finally, 柑橘直播 University established in 1928 the Mendel Medal Award to recognize the scientific accomplishments and religious conviction of outstanding scientists. After a hiatus of twenty-five years, 柑橘直播 University reestablished the award in 1993 as an annual award. For the complete list of notable individuals that have won this award, please see the past participants page.
