University Archives Photograph Collection, B. W. Wells Lantern Slides, 1920-1953
|
| Creator: |
Wells, Bertram Whittier, 1884-1978 |
| Call Number: |
UA 023.039 |
| Abstract: |
B. W. (Bertram Whittier) Wells (1884-1978) is most widely known for his study and preservation of North Carolina's natural
environment. Wells headed North Carolina State College's Botany and Plant Pathology Department (later the Department of Plant
Biology of North Carolina State University) from 1919 to 1949 and remained on the faculty until 1954. An early ecologist,
Wells wrote on many topics: the insect galls of plants, the effects of salt on coastal vegetation, the origins of grassy balds
in the Appalachian mountains, the plant communities of the Big Savannah of Pender County, North Carolina, and the possible
formation by meteorites of the Carolina Bays in the eastern part of the state. However, Wells' most extensive work focused
on savanna and pocosin vegetation. Wells traveled around North Carolina studying plants in their native environments. His
work reached a wider audience through public lectures and the 1932 publication of his book,
The Natural Gardens of North Carolina, reprinted in 1967 and 2002. Wells continued his advocacy and educational work during
his retirement, and his legacy lives on in the B. W. Wells Association, formed after his death in December 1978.

| Title: |
University Archives Photograph Collection, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Photographs, Bulk, 1980-1987
|
| Call Number: |
UA 023.006 |
| Abstract: |
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.
