Biographical History
Benjamin Carroll Tharp (1885–1964) was a botanist, born in Pankey, Grimes County, Texas. He earned his B.A (1914) and M.A. (1915) from the University of Texas. He served as plant pathologist at the Texas Department of Agriculture, 1915 to 1917, and associate professor of biology at Sam Houston Normal Institute, 1917 to 1919, before joining the University of Texas faculty as a botany instructor. His work on the ecological survey of 1921 greatly contributed to the settlement of the Texas-Oklahoma boundary dispute. Tharp retired in 1956.
