After secondary school at Hillhouse High School, Nichols matriculated in 1900 at Yale University, there receiving in 1904 his bachelor's degree and in 1909 his Ph.D.; in 1910 his thesis was published in Beihefte zum Botanischen Centralblatt.[2] In 1914, Nichols helped found the Ecological Society of America.[3] CareerAt Yale University's botany department, Nichols became an instructor, then in 1915 assistant professor, in 1924 associate professor and in 1926 full professor. From 1926 until his death, he served simultaneously in three capacities: the Eaton Professor of Botany, chair of Yale's botany department, and director of the Marsh Botanical Garden. Beginning in 1920, each summer he worked at the University of Michigan's biological station at Douglas Lake. At the biological station he studied algae and bryophytes, writing about 25 articles on his findings. Nichols served as the president of the Ecological Society of America in 1932.[3] In 1938, he was elected President of the American Bryological and Lichenological Society, a role which he served until his death.[2] LegacySeveral species have been named in his honor, including Dicranella nicholsii named by Robert Statham Williams and Hygrohypnum nicholsii named by Abel Joel Grout.
