Conklin, Edwin G. (Grant) (1863–1952) developmental biologist; born in Waldo, Ohio. He was a professor at Ohio Wesleyan (1891–94), then moved to Northwestern (1894–96) and the University of Pennsylvania (1896–1908). He joined Princeton (1908–33), remaining active in national and international academic affairs after retirement.
