North Carolina State University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Department of Biology Records, 1948-2006

Title: North Carolina State University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Department of Biology Records 1948-2006

The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Biology contain correspondence, brochures, course syllabi, departmental reviews, handbooks, grant proposals and applications, publications, and research project material. Also included is material relating to the establishment of the North Carolina Zoological Park, items from the North Carolina State College Institute of Statistics, and records from the Ecology Program, which was discontinued in 1992. Materials range in date from 1948 to 2006. The first courses in Zoology were offered at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later, North Carolina State University) in 1899. In 1912, Dr. Zeno P. Metcalf joined the faculty and increased the course offerings from one to three, eventually becoming Head of the Department of Entomology and Zoology, and led the department for 38 years, until 1950. In 1950, Zoology and Entomology separated from each other under the newly formed Division of Biological Sciences. With the dissolution of the Division of Biological Sciences in 1956, Zoology became a department with its own curriculum. The Department was included in the formation of the new Institute of Biological Sciences in 1960, an arrangement that lasted until 1971. After that date, Zoology became a Department in the School (now College) of Agriculture and Life Sciences. In 2008, the department was renamed as the Department of Biology.

Zeno Payne Metcalf Entomology Research Collection, 1741 - 1982

Title: Zeno Payne Metcalf Entomology Research Collection 1741 - 1982

The majority of the Metcalf Entomology Research Collection consists of research materials pertaining to the scientific and economic aspects of insects, primarily of the Order Homoptera. Additional items housed in the collection consist of correspondence relating to the long career and varied professional interests of Zeno Payne Metcalf. An index to the research materials in the collection and additional information about cicadas, leafhoppers, planthoppers, spittlebugs, and treehoppers may be found in . DrMetcalf: a resource on on cicadas, leafhoppers, planthoppers, spittlebugs, and treehoppers Zeno Payne Metcalf (1885-1956) was born in Lakeville, Ohio, and was educated at Ohio State University. He received his A.B. degree in 1907 and came to North Carolina as Assistant Entomologist for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture in 1908. He joined the faculty of North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later North Carolina State University) in 1912 as head of the Department of Zoology and Entomology, a position he held until 1950. He attended Harvard University and was awarded the degree of Sc.D. in 1925. From 1923 until 1944 he served as Director of Instruction for the School of Agriculture and Life Sciences at North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University); from 1940 until 1943 was Director of Graduate Studies at State College; and from 1943 to 1950 was Associate Dean of the Graduate School of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. Metcalf retired from administrative duties in 1950 but continued to work as a research professor of entomology from 1950 until his death in 1956. For most of his career Metcalf was dedicated to compiling and cataloguing his vast library of research materials relating to the Insect Order Homoptera, and was working on the General Catalogue of the Homoptera of the World, the 42-volume index to his collection, until the day he died. He married Mary Luella Correll in 1909 and had a daughter, Katherine (Mrs. Micou Browne).

North Carolina State University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Department of Entomology Records, 1932-2005

Title: North Carolina State University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Department of Entomology Records 1932-2005

The records of the North Carolina State University Department of Entomology contain brochures, correspondence, departmental reviews, memoranda, newsletters, notebooks, reports, and seminar flyers, as well as a notebook of correspondence and research notes from former department head Zeno P. Metcalf. Materials range in date from 1932 to 2005. Entomology was first taught as a course in the Department of Horticulture, Arboriculture, and Botany during the first years of the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (later, North Carolina State University). Entomologic study grew with the creation of the Department of Zoology and Entomology and the naming of the new head, Zeno P. Metcalf, in 1912. Administratively, however, Entomology was not considered a separate department, but was still considered a part of a larger course of Agricultural study. In 1950, the Division of Biological Sciences was created, and a number of departmental faculties were established and placed administratively within it, including Entomology. Courses in Entomology were listed for the first time as a separate subject, although it was not yet a full-fledged department. This occurred only after the Division was dissolved in 1955, and each faculty became a separate department.
