Bussey Institute

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bussey Institute (1883-1994) was a respected biological institute at Harvard University, affiliated with the Arnold Arboretum. It was named for Bejamin Bussey, who endowed the establishment of an undergraduate school of agriculture and horticulture along with some land in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Alfred Kinsey, an American biologist who became famous for his work on human sexuality, studied at the Bussey Institute under famed entomologist William Morton Wheeler.[1]
