SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY MS 175 3 Historical note The American Phytopathological Society (APS) was established in 1908. C. L. Shears of the U.S. Department of Agriculture called an initial meeting on December 15, 1908, to take the preliminary steps for organizing a general society of plant pathologists. A follow up meeting was held on December 30, 1908 in conjunction with a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Baltimore, Maryland. At this meeting, a council of five officers was elected to consider and make recommendations for establishing a permanent organization. The first formal meeting of the society was held in Boston, Massachusetts during the week of December 27, 1909- January 1, 1910. Membership in the society is open to professional educators, researchers and others interested in the study and control of plant diseases. APS is based in St. Paul, Minnesota and holds one large meeting annually, but also consists of several regional divisions (Caribbean, North Central, Northeastern, Pacific, Potomac, and Southern), which also meet regularly. Collection description This collection (1878-[ongoing]) contains records of annual meetings (includes audio and video tapes), biographical essays about prominent plant pathologists, committee activities, correspondence, membership lists, meeting minutes, awards and honors, discussion about changes to the group’s constitution and bylaws, photographs, publications and reports. Although the American Phytopathological Society was officially formed in 1908, plant pathologists held meetings in conjunction with other scientists prior to the formation of the society and records of these meetings and other documents were contained in some of the APS members’ collections. Organization This collection is organized into twenty-three series: Series 1, Boards, 1918- [ongoing] (alphabetical and chronological) Series 2, Anniversaries and Celebrations, 1956- [ongoing] (chronological) Series 3, Annual Meetings and Other Events, 1909- [ongoing] (chronological) Series 4, Awards and honors, 1957- [ongoing] (chronological) Series 5, Biographies of plant pathologists, 1912- [ongoing] (alphabetical) Series 6, Executive Committee and Financial Advisory Committee, 1968- [ongoing] (chronological) Series 7, Committees, Working Groups, Boards, 1915- [ongoing] (alphabetical and chronological) Series 8, Congresses,1919- [ongoing] (chronological) Series 9, Constitutions and bylaws, 1913- [ongoing] (chronological) SPECIAL COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY MS 175 4 Series 10, Correspondence, 1878- [ongoing] (chronological) Series 11, Council, 1923 – [ongoing] (chronological) Series 12, Divisions, 1914 – [ongoing] (alphabetical and chronological) Series 13, Finances and Investments, 1945 – [ongoing] (chronological) Series 14, Half-tone plates, undated (?)

The APS believed that a committee consisting of plant pathologists would accomplish certain aspects of this work more effectively than any existing agency. This series contains materials on the formation of APS, guidelines on the role of plant pathologists in developing programs and projects related to plant disease control, and registration and certification of plant pathologists. The series also contains outlines of the duties of board members, memoranda on activities of the committee and cooperation of APS with various organizations. The series is organized alphabetically and then chronologically.

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.

Asian Journal of Mycology 4(1), 40–80, Doi 10.5943/ajom/4/1/5 Abstract Rust fungi show unique systematic characteristics among all fungal groups. A single species of rust fungi may produce up to five morphologically and cytologically distinct spore-producing structures thereby attracting the interest of mycologist for centuries. In India, the research on rust fungi started with the arrival of foreign visiting scientists or emigrant experts, mainly from Britain who collected fungi and sent specimens to European laboratories for identification. Later on, a number of mycologists from India and abroad studied Indian rust fungi and contributed a lot to knowledge of the rusts to the Indian Mycobiota.

    The Arthur Herbarium Centennial: 100 Years of Uredinology in Indiana and the Great Lakes Region John W. McCain and Joe F. Hennen The Arthur Herbarium, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 In January, 1883, Dr. J. C. Arthur published his first manuscript on uredinology, the study of the taxonomy and biology of the rust fungi, the Uredinales. This we take as the starting date for the Arthur Herbarium. Because the Arthur Herbarium (PUR), now at Purdue University in West Lafayette, In- diana, has now for 100 years been the major site in the United States, and possibly the world, for taxonomic studies of these important plant pathogens, a review of the history of Indiana Uredinology is in order. Parts of Dr. Arthur's story have been published before (11, 16, 17, 19, 24, 30), so new information was sought for this report. The Arthur Herbarium is in its centennial year, but rust collecting in In- diana began more than 100 years ago. Jackson (23) credited the first explicit report of a rust fungus in Indiana to Dr. John M. Coulter in 1876, who found a rust on Lespedeza violacea (L.) Pers. (bush clover: Leguminosae), presumably near Hanover. Because there was then no Arthur Herbarium, Coulter sent the rust specimen to Dr. Charles H. Peck, New York State Museum at Albany, for iden- tification. Peck indentified the fungus as Uromyces lespedezae-procumbentis (Schw.) Curtis, then called U. lespedezae-violaceae Schw., but added, "... inasmuch as the name is objectionable both because of its com- pound character and because of it implied limitation of the habitat of the fungus, which occurs on the leaves of all of our species of Lespedeza, it seems best to .

Kohlstedt for helping me to make deeper analysis and for her editing and reviewing my thesis. I would also like to thank Professor Jennifer Gunn for discussing my work and providing insightful and helpful suggestions on the history of agriculture. My thanks would be given to other people in this program, such as Mark Borrello, Barbara Eastwold, Maggie Hofius, and Shawn Foster. They have helped me to make progress in both studies and life at the University of Minnesota. I am grateful for the archivists and librarians providing me research materials, including those from the University of Minnesota Archives, the Tsinghua University Archives, the Peking University Archives, the Second Historical Archives of China, the National Library of China, and the libraries and archives at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In addition, I am indebted to those who gave me financial support.
