 Copyright Notice &ncsucpyrt; Historical Note

Plant pathology at NCSU, like much of the current CALS curriculum, grew out of work done by the North Carolina Experiment Station. During the 1890s, occasional classes in plant pathology were taught as a part of the Horticulture curriculum, and work was also performed in cooperation with the Experiment Station. Coursework devoted entirely to plant pathology did not begin until the 1901-1902 school year, with the creation of the Biological Division and the appointment of F. L. Stevens as Instructor in Biology. During the 1920s, plant pathology education and research was reorganized as a part of the new Department of Botany (Plant Biology after 2006). Over the next decades, the number of courses and faculty devoted to plant pathology would continue to grow.

In 1945, the Plant Pathology section of the Botany Department was created, and James H. Jensen was named as the first head. Another reorganization took place in 1950, when Plant Pathology became one of five faculties in the newly created Division of Biological Sciences. It was after this latter shake-up that the department finally moved into its current home in Gardner Hall, after previously having used space in Withers and Patterson Halls. Under Jensen's leadership the department grew from 5 to 20 faculty members, and continued to expand its research and extension role throughout the state. In addition, the first Pesticide School (currently called the Crop Protection School) was held in 1949, and the first Plant Disease Clinic in 1951.

D. E. Ellis became the second department head in 1954, and continued the growth of the department's activities. By his retirement in 1973, the faculty had increased to 48, and the department's space in Gardner had likewise expanded. In 1958 Plant Pathology became a full-fledged department, and was included along with four other Departments in the creation of the Institute of Biological Sciences. With the discontinuation of the Institute in 1971, Plant Pathology became a department within the School (now College) of Agriculture and Life Sciences, where it remains today.

The collection consists of records produced by the Department of Plant Pathology in both its academic and research/extension roles. The records consist of four series, which in turn are broken into appropriate sub-series. The first series, General Information, contains a variety of material relating mostly to the academic role of the department, including a set of faculty meeting minutes from 1950 to 1984. The second series is the department's Correspondence. This material is arranged in generally the order as received by the Archives, either from individuals within the department or as general correspondence (as from 1973 and 1974). Faculty Reprints make up the third series. These items are articles which originally appeared in non-university publications. The fourth series, Extension, contains files on work performed by department members in extension and outreach roles.
