University Archives Photograph Collection, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Photographs Bulk, 1980-1987 circa 1900-1992

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua023_006

The University Archives Photograph Collection, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Photographs contain photographs, negatives, and contact sheets documenting the people, departments, research, and activities relating to the College. The photographs are organized into the following series: General, Faculty and Staff, Buildings, Laboratories, Equipment and Machinery, Students – General, Students – Academic Life, Agriculture, Livestock, Biological Science, Environmental Science, Food Science, Gifts and Awards, Exhibitions and Displays, Agricultural Fair, Agricultural Information, F. H. Jeter, National Farm and Home Tour, Research, Other Programs, and Communication Services. For photographs of Agricultural Extension and Research Services, see UA 023.007. As a land-grant institution, North Carolina State University has had agricultural study as an integral part of instruction since its beginning in 1887. In 1917, the first dean of agriculture took office, and the School of Agriculture was established in 1923. The name was changed to School of Agriculture and Life Sciences in 1964, and finally to College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in 1987. As of 2009, the College consists of 22 academic and extension departments, and runs the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, the current name of the former Agricultural Experiment Station. The College continues to strive to meet its three primary functions -- teaching, research, and extension -- as first laid out over a century ago.

North Carolina State University was established in 1887 as the North Carolina College for Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. The College opened in 1889 with one building - the current Holladay Hall - six faculty, and courses in the agricultural and mechanical arts, adding a curriculum in applied science in 1893. By the turn of the century the College had grown to some half dozen buildings, about 300 students, and had begun to diversify its curricula. In 1931 the College greatly reworked its curricul...

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 cour...

The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 not only provided for a cooperative system of "in the field" extension and demonstration activities, but also made provisions for those activities to be made available to those unable to attend such activities. For the most part, this meant the printing of regular or semi-regular publications. At North Carolina State, such work effectively began with the hiring of Frank H. Jeter in 1914 as agricultural editor. Jeter oversaw the creation of the journal Ext...

The Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences was established in July, 1961, as the Department of Food Science and Processing in the School of Agriculture. The study of food science at NCSU, however, began in 1918, when the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station began pasteurizing milk at the creamery it ran in Patterson Hall. In 1962 the name was changed to the Department of Food Science, and in 2007 to the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences. ...

Botanical work at N.C. State began in concert with the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station, which was established in the 1870s and later became part of the college. Since the first courses were offered at the college in 1889, there have been courses in botany. At first, they were part of the biological sciences training. By 1902, there were enough classes taught to hire Frank L. Stevens as the first head of botanical instruction. Botany appears to have been a part of biol...
