Geology Newsletter 1977 Haydn Murray GEOLOGY NEWSLETTER .1977 INDIANA UNIVERSITY BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA Dear Alumni, The Department of Geology at Indiana University is healthy and dynamic. This past year, 1976-77, we had 150 undergraduate majors and 75 graduate students. We have 23 faculty members, three of whom are shared with other departments; Dr. John Hayes with Chemistry, Dr. David Dilcher with Plant Sciences, and Dr. Robert Blakely with the Indiana Geologic Survey. Professors William Thornbury and Wayne Lowell are emeritus and both are active and healthy. Professor Lowell is so active that he has been on crutches for two months this winter because of a skiing accident. This year we have passed the 1000 mark in the number of geology alumni from the department. These alumni are spread geographically throughout the world. You can be proud of the I.U. Geology Department because of its teaching and research excellence. The field station in Montana continues to be rated as one of the finest in the country and Professor Mead and his staff continually strive to make this field program even better. The department at Bloomington has six active NSF projects, five HEW fellowships on Energy and Mineral Resources, three industrial fellowships, three industrially funded research projects, and six projects funded through the Water Resources Research Center. We need additional fellowship support for our graduate students, so any aid that you as alumni can give by having your company place a graduate fellowship at IU would be deeply appreciated. Our continuing problem is maintaining the excellence of the department on very tight budgets that have not kept pace with inflation over the past six years. Donations from alumni and friends are desperately needed to help fund departmental activities that cannot be supported with the regular budgets, such as student and faculty travel for research projects, field work, and presentation of research results at national meetings. Your contributions, however large or small, are always needed and most welcome. We have fallen off badly in the past two years in alumni contributions. Professor emeritus Robert R. Shrock, a graduate of the department has written a letter on the philosophy of giving, which is included in this newsletter. Also, at his suggestion, we are establishing a 5-50 club, which is described in a later section of the newsletter. This newsletter is fairly comprehensive, and includes as complete an alumni directory as we can prepare from our records. Our plan is ·to provide such a newsletter every five years and a small flyer covering newsworthy items every year. We welcome letters, advice, criticisms, address changes, status changes, andcontributions. We are proud of Indiana University and we welcome visits from you whenever you can get back to your university.

Petersen Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37919-1100 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—The Morrill Act of 1862 afforded the US states the opportunity to found state colleges with agriculture as part of their mission—the so-called “land-grant colleges.” The Hatch Act of 1887 gave the same opportunity for agricultural experiment stations as functions of the land-grant colleges, and the “third Morrill Act” (the Smith-Lever Act) of 1914 added an extension dimension to the experiment stations. Overall, the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th was a time for growing appreciation for, and growth of institutional education in the natural sciences, especially botany and its specialties, mycology, and phytopathology. This paper outlines a particular genealogy of mycologists and plant pathologists representative of this era. Professor Albert Nelson Prentiss, first of Michigan State then of Cornell, Professor William Russel Dudley of Cornell and Stanford, Professor Mason Blanchard Thomas of Wabash College, and Professor Herbert Hice Whetzel of Cornell Plant Pathology were major players in the scenario. The supporting cast, the students selected, trained, and guided by these men, was legion, a few of whom are briefly traced here. Key words—“New Botany,” European influence, agrarian roots Chapter 1.
