Why Is Waldo Lee McAtee Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Waldo Lee McAtee was an American ecologist and ornithologist. He wrote extensively about the feeding habits of birds and mammals and described over 460 new species of insects. Early life and education Waldo Lee McAtee was born on January 21, 1883, in Jalapa, Indiana. McAtee was a student at Indiana University from 1900 to 1906, majoring in Biology and Zoology. He earned his A.B. in 1904 and his A.M. in 1906. McAtee was a very active student at IU. He served as curator for the I.U. Zoological Museum, where his duties included classifying specimens. When professors were absent, McAtee was often called upon to teach science classes such as Embryology. He was also an active participant in I.U. athletic events, particularly football games. McAtee served as a yell leader over a group called the "Howling Hundred", where he rallied students to attend games and even wrote fight songs to taunt the opposing team. During his studies, McAtee spent a summer working in Washington, D.C. rearranging a collection of North American and Mexican bird specimens. This summer job introduced McAtee to members of the United States Department of Agriculture, who offered him a position while he was still an undergraduate.
