JAMES M CRAIG MEMORIAL LECTURE
Dr. James M. Craig
1916-1985
Dr. James Morrison Craig was an excellent scientist, devoted to
teaching and research in microbiology. He was recognized internationally for his work in botulism and his many contributions to applied microbiology. He is affectionately remembered by his colleagues and many students whose lives he touched. He received his
education at San Jose State, Stanford, and Oregon State University.
He was a Professor of Microbiology at San Jose State from 1948
until the time of his death.
Because of Dr. Craig’s strong ties to Oregon State University, his wife, Reva, and sons, Leland
(DDS, Manhattan Beach, California) and Morrie (Ph.D., Professor of Veterinary Medicine, OSU),
established the James M. Craig Memorial Lectureship. Scientists whose applied microbiology research focuses in areas similar to those pursued by Dr. Craig are invited to speak.
