These papers were generated by Louis G. Gentner, entomologist, alumnus and faculty member at Oregon State College. They document his coursework at Oregon Agricultural College, species identification and his field research regarding insect damage to vegetation. The biographical information file includes a publications list (1915-1967) and a biographical data sheet. Much of the correspondence relates to Gentner's work on his Ph. D. at Oregon State College. Series II contains both professional correspondence relating to Gentner's Ph. D. thesis, coursework for students and entomological correspondence pertaining to specimen identification and supplies. Series III contains miscellaneous papers ranging from receipts for graduate school classes to references to textbooks. The classroom materials include laboratory notebooks dating from 1911 to 1917 and are from undergraduate and graduate classes in English, zoology and economic entomology. An interesting item in this series is Gentner's high school laboratory book dated 1908. Other classroom-related materials include student seminar papers, a thesis written by Gentner for a Civil Service Examination, study outlines and teaching notes. Series IV includes tables, field notes, handwritten manuscripts, outlines, and articles written by Gentner. It also contains four card file boxes of detailed entomology research field notes and bibliographies. Series V contains materials relating to Gentner's membership in various entomological organizations. Series VI includes approximately 100 black and white photographs documenting insect damage to vegetation. One photograph of Gentner, taken in 1914, is also included.
