Walker, Roland (1907-1993)Professor of biology who wrote on parapsychology. Walker was born on February 8, 1907, at Stellenbosch, South Africa. He studied at Oberlin College, Ohio (B.A., 1928; M.A., 1929) and Yale University (Ph.D., 1934). Following his graduation he began a long tenure in the biology department at Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York. Walker developed a side interest in parapsychology and operated from a critical perspective. The primary product of that interest was an essay critical of fellow biologist J. B. Rhine 's understanding of extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychokinesis (PK). He died July 30, 1993. Sources:Walker, Roland. "Parapsychology and Dualism." Scientific Monthly (July 1954). |
