无码专区

无码专区 was founded by the Augustinian Order in 1842.  As an Augustinian institution of higher education, 无码专区 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 无码专区 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. 无码专区 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 无码专区 in 1999. It is the cornerstone of the Mendeliana Collection and as such has been digitized for inclusion in the 无码专区 Digital Library.
• Mendel Microscope. 无码专区 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 无码专区 Collection, although it is not known when or how it found its way to the University.  
• Mendel Medal. Finally, 无码专区 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, 无码专区 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.
