He had a classical education and loved history, poetry, travel, philately, and books. Tyler enrolled at the University of Nebraska, and graduated in pharmacy with high distinction in 1949. He attended Yale University as an Eli Lilly Research Fellow in 1950. After Tyler earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Connecticut in 1951 and 1953, he was appointed Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmacognosy at the University of Nebraska. He served with merit at the University of Washington for ten years. Dr. Tyler accepted the appointment as dean of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Sciences at Purdue University in 1966. He studied medicinal and toxic constituents of higher fungi, phytochemical analysis, alkaloid biosynthesis, drug plant cultivation, and herbal medicine. Tyler’s outstanding career at Purdue culminated in the designation of the Lilly Distinguished Professor of Pharmacognosy, Emeritus. Service as the first president of the American Society of Pharmacognosy ( 1959-1961), president of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (1970-1971), and president of the Institute of the History of Pharmacy (1993-1995) are among Tyler’s many notable achievements. Dr. Tyler’s stature in the field of pharmacognosy is evident through national and international recognition by his peers, honorary degree awards, appointments to editorial boards, and his hundreds of publications. Tyler died August 22, 2001.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
