The articles and clippings reflect and follow Anderson's career until his death in 1943. There are two articles written in 1978 that relate his exploits and retell the circumstances surrounding the introduction and courtship of Anderson with his wife, Lydia. The bulk of the correspondence is dated from around the years 1900-1901, when Anderson returned to Clemson after a year at the University of Minnesota. Correspondence between Anderson and Clemson College Presidents Hartzog and Mell are present, as well as Anderson's resignation letter in 1901. A letter dated October 27, 1933 details Alexander Pierce Anderson's wish to start a scholarship for Clemson students. Three photocopied photographs depict Alexander Pierce Anderson while taking part in the 1893 Gull Lake Expedition, a picture from the 1901 "Clemsonian," and a portrait of both Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. The two original photographs depict what appears to be a laboratory or classroom setting that is undated, and the Horticultural building at Clemson College dated July 1899. One file includes Anderson's patent entitled "Art of Treating Starch Material" dated August 26, 1902.

Alexander Pierce Anderson (1862-1943) was a plant physiologist whose work on the structure of starch led to the invention of the expansive processing for grain that is known as "puffing". He invented this process in 1901-1902 during his tenure as a researcher at the New York Botanical Garden Research Laboratory. He sold his patent on the process to Quaker Oats in 1902. Anderson continued research on the minute structure of starch grain, developing improved cereal foods and adhesives until his de...
