Biographical Note
Milo Herrick "Heck" Spaulding was born on June 10, 1879, in Rutland, Vermont. He attended Stanford University where he majored in biology, eventually receiving a master's degree from that institution. He joined the faculty of the Montana College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later Montana State University) in 1908 as an instructor of zoology. During his career he wrote a number of scholarly papers including "Preliminary Report on the Life History and Habits of the "Lake Shrimp" (Penaeus Setiferus)," "The Control of Prairie Dogs and Ground Squirrels," and "The Development of the External Genitalia in the Human Embryo." A popular instructor and avid photographer, Spaulding also had some talents as an inventor, woodworker, and printer. His lectures at the university often featured glass lantern slides that he produced himself. Spaulding never married and was a member of the Masonic and Sigma Chi fraternities. He retired from the university faculty in 1943, and he died in Bozeman on April 1, 1945.
