Biographical / Historical Note
Donald Ransom Whitney (1915-2007) enrolled at Ohio State University in 1946, accepting a teaching assistantship. He joined the faculty in the Mathematics Department with a focus on statistics. His collaboration with Henry Mann led to the development of the Mann-Whitney test. He was also involved in creating the Numerical Computation Lab, a predecessor to the Statistics Laboratory and the Instructional Research Computer Center. Whitney also played a major role in establishing statistics as a department separate from mathematics in 1970.
