Harold H. Plough (AC 1913)
Harold Henry Plough was born on April 5, 1892 in New York
City. He attended Amherst College, graduating in 1913, and
went on to study at Columbia, receiving his MA in 1915, and
his PhD in 1917. After serving as a fellow at Columbia for a
year, Plough returned to Amherst where he joined the biology
department, and continued to serve as a professor at Amherst
until his retirement in 1959.
Plough led a distinguished career as a geneticist,
publishing over 30 papers on technical subjects in biology
over his lifetime. He spent many summers teaching and doing
research at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole,
Mass., where he discovered four new species of Ascidians, a
specialized phylum of marine chordates. Plough also
specialized in radiation-induced mutations, and acted as
consultant to the Atomic Energy Commission in the early
1950s. Plough served in the US Army Sanitary Corps in both
world wars as a bacteriologist.
