1867-1937

American entomologist educated at the University of Kansas, Cornell University, and the University of Leipzig in entomology and evolution. In 1894 David Starr Jordan hired Kellogg as professor of entomology at the newly established Stanford University. There he experimented on silkworms to establish the causes of variation and test Mendelian inheritance. In 1915 Kellogg resigned from Stanford to join his former student, Herbert Hoover, on the Commission for Relief in Belgium and then the United States Food Administration. After the war he ran the National Research Council until poor health forced his retirement in 1931.
