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.

  • Employee Wellbeing at Cornell Re
    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations.

  • 2012 Survey of UN Depository Libraries
    United Nations Dag Hammarskjöld Library 2012 Survey of UN Depository Libraries Introduction The Mission of the UN Depository Libraries Programme is to inform the world’s public about the work and the activities of the United Nations through a system of UN depository libraries. These libraries are independent of the UN but provide comprehensive information based on first­rate collections of UN information resources. As of December 2012, there were 364 depository libraries. The 2012 Biennial Survey of United Nations Depository Libraries was sent to 364 depository libraries. Completion of the biennial survey is a requirement for participating libraries. The survey was launched 10 September 2012 and closed 11 January 2013. Data collection included web­based, e­mail and fax methods. The United Nations continues to expand online access to its information resources and has reduced print runs. It is expected that, ultimately, hard­copy distribution of documents will cease. The destruction by Hurricane Sandy of print shop and distribution facilities in New York may have accelerated this process. In support of the UN’s policy of a reduction in print costs, the Dag Hammarskjöld Library has strongly encouraged depository libraries to move to electronic access instead of print. A major focus of the 2012 survey was to determine how this change from print to digital would impact the UN Depository Libraries Programme in developed and developing countries. While promoting a move to online access, the Dag Hammarskjöld Library must also seek to take into account the varying degrees of connectivity, especially in developing and least­developed countries. An important aspect of the United Nations depository programme is the role that our partner libraries play in outreach and promotion of the use of their UN collections.
