Dr. Stanton C. Crawford was a Professor of Zoology in the Department of Biological Sciences
(formerly called Life Sciences), Dean of the College, Dean of the Faculties, and Chancellor of
the University during his 42-year tenure (1924-1966) at the University of Pittsburgh.
The Stanton C. Crawford memorial fund was established in 1968 through an endowment given to the Department of
Biological Sciences. It is awarded annually to a Graduate Student Teaching Assistant who has
demonstrated excellence in her or his teaching.
Presented at the beginning of the fall term, the Stanton C. Crawford award consists of a cash prize provided in the
recipient's September paycheck, a certificate, and the inscription of the recipient's name on a plaque displayed
in the Main Office of the Department of Biological Sciences.
