'''Early Life'''
On September 6th, 1864, Luther Sherman Ross was welcomed into the world by his parents, Ruth and John Ross, in Bond County, Illinois.[3] He was born and raised in the Chicago area, and he studied at the University of Illinois, majoring in biology and graduating in 1889.[2] He continued to do postgraduate work and received his Master of Science degree a year later. [2]

'''Higher Education'''
Throughout college he dated a woman named Ellen Bardwell, whom he married on June 22nd, 1892 in Leverett, Illinois.[3] After their marriage Luther came to Drake University to become a professor in biology and chemistry.[3] Since Drake was a small school, he taught most, if not all, of the science courses offered. During the summers him and his family traveled to Chicago so he could work on his PhD which he received in 1919. This granted him the title of the Department Head of Sciences at Drake.[3]

'''A Professor at Drake University'''
Professor Ross was very active at Drake University, from having an open door policy for his students and faculty member to becoming the biggest advocate for athletics.[1] Professor Ross was described as blunt, and honest with everyone and “those who know him best love him most.”[1] It has been said, that he was a true friend to most students.[1] He and his wife were nicknamed the “parents” of Drake, because of their openness and engagement in Drake’s activities.[4]
