[Identification of Item], James Wyche Green Papers, MC 158, Special Collections Research Center, North Carolina State University Libraries, Raleigh, North Carolina.

James Wyche Green, born in 1915, taught classes in the Department of Rural Sociology at North Carolina State College from 1949 to 1954. A veteran of World War II, Green attended the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill to pursue his doctoral degree in sociology. He taught courses in rural sociology at North Carolina State while attending UNC, and received his degree in June 1953. His dissertation was entitled "The Farmhouse Building Process in North Carolina."

Green also apparently conducted some research for the federal government, and in 1953 received a transfer to the Agricultural Marketing Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1954, Green was sent to Pakistan as part of a federal appointment by the FOA of the State Department, where Green served as an advisor on agricultural development. He later served in similar capacities in other Asian, Afirican, and Latin American countries. Green became a psychotherapist with interests in meditation in the 1970s, and published the book Integrative Meditation in 1994.

Scope and Content Note

This collection contains materials relating mainly to the early professional life of James Wyche Green. It includes correspondence, writings, research, and teaching materials from Green's five years at North Carolina State College (now University). The Personal series includes materials from Green's graduate career at UNC, his veteran status, and his transfer within the United States Department of Agriculture in 1953. The Correspondence series features letters to and from Green regarding his research in rural sociology and his selection of rural sociology texts for his classes. The Research series includes notes, reports, and conference proceedings about rural housing and population, among other topics. The Writings series includes several reports about topics in rural sociology, as well as some of Green's critiques of rural sociology textbooks. The Teaching Career series features outlines, lesson plans, and student book reports and papers from the classes which Green taught. It also includes materials relating to Green's administrative activities and membership in professional organizations.

Organization of the Collection

This collection is organized into five series: Personal, Correspondence, Research, Writings, and Teaching Career. The Personal series is comprised of materials that had no relation to Green's professional life, and were filed separately. The correspondence was filed in alphabetical order by surname, and this order is preserved. The subjects in the Research series reflect the subject headings Green used in filing his papers, and have been alphabetized for easier access. The brief collection of Green's writings have been filed alphabetically. The original organization of materials in the Teaching Career series, with its divisions into classes, administrative activities, and professional organizations, is retained in this collection. Out of a large number of completed tests and quizzes in the Classes subseries, selected representative tests and quizzes were retained.

The Personal Series contains documents related to Green's life outside of North Carolina State College. These documents are arranged by subject. Included are materials related to Green's doctoral degree from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, and tests and notes from two of the classes Green took at UNC. The two classes are an unidentified sociology class about population, and Soc. 210, "Folk Sociology." Also included is documentation of Green's occupational transfer within the United States Department of Agriculture, and materials from the Veteran's Administration.

The Correspondence series contains correspondence sent to and written by Green during his teaching career at North Carolina State. Much of the correspondence regards ongoing research projects, topics in rural sociology, and the books Green considered using in his rural sociology classes. The correspondence was originally arranged in alphabetical order and this arrangement is preserved. In two circumstances, the volume of correspondence with one particular person was great enough to necessitate a separate folder.
