Why Is Douglas G. Stuart Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Douglas G. Stuart was a Regents' professor emeritus of Physiology at the University of Arizona. Early life and career As a young man in Australia, Stuart trained to compete with the Australian team in the British Commonwealth Games as a high jumper. He came to Michigan State University on a track scholarship in 1954 to complete his BS and MS in physical education with an emphasis on mammalian physiology and the physiology of exercise. It was at MSU that Stuart developed his interest and expertise in academe ; blossomed in public speaking and leadership ; met and subsequently married an American undergraduate . Rather, with the guidance of an outstanding MSU teacher and mentor, Professor W. Duane Collings , he opted to pursue a PhD in physiology at UCLA, where he began his studies in January 1957. Immediately prior, however, he returned briefly to Australia where, after failing to make the Australian track team, he designed and had built the scoreboards used for over a dozen sports at the Melbourne Olympic Games in November 1956. During this visit he was offered the opportunity to return to the US as a member of the Australian Department of External Affairs by its then-minister, Richard Casey. The NSW Department of Education also offered him a new and unique position as a track and field organizer and coach of new clubs throughout the state. By then, however, Stuart was firmly committed to undertaking a PhD in physiology, with a subsequent research career in the USA.
