North Carolina State University, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Annual Reports 1945-2008

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua100_002

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Annual Reports subgroup contains academic year and calendar year annual reports for the College, as well as the academic year annual reports for many of the College's committees, departments, and programs. Also included are annual reports of the Randleigh Foundation from 1966-1985. Materials range in date from 1945 to 2008. In 1905, the Board of Trustees first took up the suggestion of creating a dean for agriculture, but only under President Wallace Riddick (in 1917) was the position of dean created. In 1923, following the reorganization of North Carolina State College (later, University), the School (later, College) of Agriculture was created. In 1964, the School of Agriculture became the School of Agriculture and Life Sciences. In 1996, the School became the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, reflecting campus-wide changes in designation from School to College.

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 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. ...

With the founding of NC State College in 1889 were created five academic divisions, one of which was the department of Horticulture, Arboriculture, and Botany. Around the same time, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture created a division of horticulture in the Agricultural Experiment Station. W. F. Massey was named to head both positions in 1889, and would serve State College until 1907. The department was housed in Primrose Hall after its construction in 1896, remaining the...

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...

Although classes in topics such as "Farm Drainage" were taught since the college first opened in 1889, organized agricultural engineering education at North Carolina State only began in 1917, as an offering of several related courses in the Department of Agronomy. A four-year course of study was offered from that time, but few students availed themselves of it, and only in 1935 did a student graduate with a B.S. in Agriculture from the program. In 1937, the program's name was change...

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...
