Biography

Ulysses Sherman Grant was born in Moline, Illinois on February 14, 1867. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with B.S. in 1888,[1] and received a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1893.[2] He married Avis Winchell in 1891, and they had four children.[3]

From 1893 to 1899, Grant was an Assistant State Geologist (at the Geological and Natural History Survey of Minnesota, co-authoring several of its yearly reports) at the University of Minnesota. He was also an Instructor in Geology (1897-1898), and one of the editors of journal The American Geologist, founded by his mentor Newton Winchell in 1888.[1]

In 1899, he became professor of geology at Northwestern University.[4] He soon became the chairman of the geology department, a position he held until his death.[1]

In 1899, Professor Grant inspected the Brule, Wisconsin area for ancient copper deposits.[5]

He died in Chicago on September 21, 1932.[3]
