Acquisition Information Materials acquired from the Dept. of Biological Sciences. Photocopies of additional materials received from Susan Chamberlin September 2008 and copied from files on the campus lagoon at the Cheadle Center. This series, formerly the Will Beittel papers (MS.09) was transferred from the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration, University of California, Santa Barbara, to the UC Santa Barbara Library Department of Special Research Collections, August, 2016. Biographical Note Wilbur (Will) G. Beittel was born March 2, 1913 in Philadelphia. After attending NYU and Oberlin College, he began a music career in 1936 as a composer and arranger for the Lucky Strike Hit Parade and CBS Swing Session. He also wrote for various motion picture studios up until he switched careers around 1955 after attending Pierce Agricultural College. Beittel moved to Santa Barbara and became the City Arborist until 1963. He lived at horticulturist Francesco Franceschi's original home and garden (now Franceschi Park), overseeing the plants there and using the grounds as the city's nursery, where he propagated and introduced many exotic species to Santa Barbara. He grew plants for the street tree program, public parks, and other civic properties, propagating between 4,000 and 5,000 plants per year. In 1963, Beittel became the Senior Nurseryman at University of California, Santa Barbara. He continued growing unusual exotic species which he planted around the campus grounds, many which are still there today. Among Beittel's noteworthy contributions to horticulture are several books that he authored: Santa Barbara's Street and Park Trees, Santa Barbara's Trees, and Dr. F. Franceschi, Pioneer Plantsman. He co-wrote Trees of Santa Barbara with Katherine Muller and Richard Broder. Beittel also taught several popular classes through Adult Education. Beittel passed away in 1999 at the age of 86. Processing Information Arrangement and description of this collection funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Scope and Content Series 1 Teaching Materials includes notes and handouts for several adult education and extension courses taught by Beittel. Series 2 Publications includes lists in draft form and galley proofs of some pages from the 1977 edition of Santa Barbara's Trees. Series 3 Clippings includes newspaper articles about Beittel, articles about Santa Barbara parks and trees, and articles on individual plants written by Beittel for the Santa Barbara News-Press. Series 4 Professional Papers includes Beittel's records on plant propagation for Franceschi Park and UCSB and inventories of plants on the UCSB campus. There are also records on experimental plantings of various eucalyptus species on campus, a project aimed at finding suitable street trees for Santa Barbara. In this series is also correspondence from Raymond B. Cowles and Sima Eliovsen on South African plants, and a tribute to Santa Barbara Park Superintendant Finlay MacKenzie. Series 5 Photographs includes color slides and prints of plants that Beittel planted at Franceschi Park and at UCSB, as well as trees and shrubs growing in various parks and gardens in Santa Barbara. Separated Material A copy of Santa Barbara's Trees containing Beittel's annotations was moved to the library collection. Related Material A collection of Santa Barbara park inventories including maps and plant lists by Will Beittel are located at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden Library.

Biography Vernon Irvin Cheadle was both an academician and administrator at several colleges and universities across the country, but he is best known for his role as Chancellor of UCSB from 1962 to 1977. Cheadle was born in Salem, South Dakota on February 6, 1910. As a high-school and college student, he competed in track and field events and was also a member of the basketball and football teams. He attended South Dakota State University for one year before transferring to Miami University where he received a B.S. (magna cum laude) in 1932. In 1932 he was accepted to Harvard University and he received an M.S. in 1934 and his Ph.D. in botany in 1936 under the mentorship of Ralph H. Wetmore. After graduating from Harvard, Vernon Cheadle spent six weeks on a collecting trip in Cuba. Many of the specimens he collected are still preserved in his vast plant specimen collection in the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration at UCSB. While on his collecting trip, he was offered a position in the Department of Botany at Rhode Island State College, an appointment he began in 1936. He was Professor and Chair of the department from 1942 to 1952 and also served

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1999 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. KATHERINE ESAU April 3, 1898–June 4, 1997 BY RAY F. EVERT ATHERINE ESAU, WORLD renowned botanist, recipient of Kthe National Medal of Science, author of six textbooks, and teacher par excellence, died June 4, 1997, at her home in Santa Barbara, California. She was ninety-nine years young. Her work on plant structure covered seven-plus decades and led to much of the current research on plant function. Throughout her career, Esau continued research on phlo- em both in relation to the effects of phloem-limited viruses on plant structure and development and to the unique struc- ture of the sieve tube as a conduit for food. She demon- strated an exceptional ability for attacking basic problems and she set new standards of excellence for the investiga- tion of anatomical problems in the plant sciences. Esau was born on April 3, 1898, in the city of Yekaterinoslav, now called Dnepropetrovsk, in the Ukraine. She lived there until the end of 1918, when she and her family fled to Germany during the Bolshevik Revolution. Her family was Mennonite, descendants of the German Mennonites that Catherine the Great invited to Russia to promote agricul- ture on the Ukrainian steppes. Naturally suspicious of any- one from the outside, the Ukrainians ostracized the Men- nonites, who lived in colonies, developed very successful 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS farms, schooled their children, and practiced their religion.
