Biographical Note

The first person to receive a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin (UT), Dr. Carl Gottfried Hartman (1879-1968) graduated in 1915 with a focus in zoology. He previously served as superintendent of Travis County schools (1904-1909) and taught at the Sam Houston State Teachers College in Huntsville (1909-1912). Hartman taught at UT until 1925, when he became a research associate in the Laboratory of Embryology of the Carnegie Institute at Johns Hopkins Medical School. In 1941, he joined the University of Illinois’s zoology and physiology departments, leaving to work for the Ortho Research Foundation in Raritan, New Jersey, as director of the physiology department (1947-1951) and as associate director (1951-1958). Hartman retired in 1958 and became a consultant for the Margaret Sanger Research Bureau in New York City.
