The Donald E. Moreland Papers consist of presentations, reprints, faculty activity reports, visual aids, project descriptions, lecture notes, and laboratory procedures related to crop science, botany, toxicology, and plant physiology. Major topics include microsomes, plant and rat liver mitochondria, and herbicides. Moreland presented many of the materials at conferences, including conferences of the Weed Science Society of America.
North Carolina State University Professor Emeritus Donald E. Moreland (1919-2010) served as a faculty member at North Carolina State for more than fifty years, teaching crop science, botany, forestry, and toxicology. During this time, he also worked on several projects for the United States Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service in Raleigh, N.C. In 1995, he became a Professor Emeritus.
Donald E. Moreland (1919-2010) began as a student in the forestry program at North Carolina State College (later North Carolina State University) in 1940, but left school for active duty in the U.S. Army during World War II. In 1946, Moreland returned to the college. With help from the G.I. Bill, he earned a bachelors degree in forestry in 1949 and a masters degree in forestry in 1950. In 1953, Moreland completed his doctorate degree in plant physiology, also from North Carolina State College.
For the next 50 years, Moreland served as a faculty member at North Carolina State, teaching crop science, botany, forestry, and toxicology.
