Statistical science as organized in formal academic departments is
relatively new. With a few exceptions, most Statistics and
Biostatistics departments have been created within the past 60
years. This book consists of a set of memoirs, one for each
department in the U.S. created by the mid-1960s. The memoirs describe
key aspects of the department’s history -- its founding, its growth,
key people in its development, success stories (such as major research
accomplishments) and the occasional failure story, PhD graduates who
have had a significant impact, its impact on statistical education,
and a summary of where the department stands today and its vision for
the future. Read here all about how departments such as at Berkeley,
Chicago, Harvard, and Stanford started and how they got to where they
are today. The book should also be of interests to scholars in the
field of disciplinary history.
