History
Stanley Crittenden Ball was born on November 19, 1885, in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts.
He was an American zoologist. He received his education at Yale University (Ph.B., Sheffield Scientific School, 1911; Ph.D., 1915). He taught at Massachusetts Agricultural College, Springfield College, and the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii, before joining the Yale faculty in 1926. He served as a curator of Zoology at the Peabody Museum of Yale University until his retirement in 1954. Ball was a well-known authority on birds and the geographical distribution of animals. He studied the natural history of the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec for many years and published a book, "Fall Bird Migration in the Gaspe Peninsula," in 1952.
In 1912, he married Augusta Lehman (1889–1960). He died on August 9, 1956, in New Haven, Connecticut.
