Abstract

This interview is with Dr. Frank Bryan Tutwiler who was born in Virginia on October 6, 1924 and he passed away in York, South Carolina on April 20, 1979. Dr. Tutwiler was a faculty member in the Chemistry Department at Winthrop College from 1955-1979. In this interview, Dr. Tutwiler discusses how different sciences are viewed, the relation between science and religion, how sciences are used in the world, both good and bad and those in between, and what the different sciences are, including physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and geology. He also talks about what science degree programs were offered at Winthrop while he taught there and how he attempted to create an astronomy program as well. Dr. Tutwiler also talks about stereotypes surrounding scientists and how these have affected which sciences are more popular and with whom they are more popular. He also discusses how the teaching of the sciences has changed and developed alongside the development of the sciences themselves.

*From 0:30:42 to 0:31:27 and again at 0:52:24 to 0:53:21, there is the start of a discussion about coeducation at Winthrop, but then it switches back to Dr. Tutwiler.
