Gordon Lynn Walls (April 4, 1905 - August 22, 1962) was an American professor of physiological optics and optometry at the University of California, Berkeley ==Biography==
Walls started his education at Boston English High School. He earned his B.S. as a mechanical engineer in 1926 at Tufts College. In addition he was an undergraduate in biology and was awarded both the Goddard Prize and the Olmsted Scholarship in Biology. Walls decided not to pursue his career in engineering. Instead he entered Harvard on a graduate scholarship. His first studies dealt with photomechanical changes in the retina, laying the fundaments of his career in vision. He continued his study of the retina as a graduate student (Sc.D. in zoology, 1931) and postdoctoral fellow (1931 to 1934, Alfred G. Lloyd and National Research Council Fellowships) at the University of Michigan and as an associate in zoology at the State University of Iowa from 1934 to 1937. His interest in vision was confirmed during a four-year research associateship in ophthalmology at Wayne University College of Medicine and culminated with the publication in 1942 of his book ''The Vertebrate Eye and its Adaptive Radiation''. This 785-page classic contains about 200 illustrations, many of which Gordon Walls drew himself. In 1946 he joined the Faculty of the School of Optometry at the University of California. He came to Berkeley as an associate professor of physiological optics and optometry and lecturer in physiology. He also taught courses in morphology and physiology of the eye, physiological optics, evolution of the visual system, and color vision. He was appointed professor in 1952. Walls died in 1962 by a heart attack.〔(Calisphere University of California, Berkeley )〕
