摘要

By 1916, a small scientific colony was expanding around the main laboratory building of the Scripps Institution for Biological Research. Construction of Scripps's first pier was complete and paid for, as was much of the early campus infrastructure, by local philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps. Professor William Ritter, the institution's director, and his wife, Mary, were settled into a spacious new, two-story home overlooking the pier. (They spent their first few years on campus living in the main laboratory building.) Other dwellings were springing up as well, giving the scientific enclave the look of a frontier boom town. A dozen or so cottages were occupied by permanent staff, summer residents, and the families of both. Downtown La Jolla was distant and accessible only by a poorly maintained road, so children were, informally schooled on site, and some residents grew their own food. Looking back on the early days of this biological colony, Margaret Sumner, wife of renowned Scripps scientist Francis Sumner, remembered the "one-board" houses, built and furnished for $1,000 each. "The roofs leaked badly at every pore in the heavy rains, and the wind blew through the cracks," she reminisced during a 1962 interview with Scripps historian Helen Raitt.
