Collection contains reprints, reports, correspondence, and memos relating to various plant diseases, primarily relating to tobacco. Plant pathology at North Carolina State University, like much of the current College of Agriculture and Life Sciences 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. Less

Entomologic study grew with the creation of the Department of Zoology and Entomology and the naming of the new head, Zeno P. Metcalf, in 1912. Administratively, however, Entomology was not considered a separate department, but was still considered a part of a larger course of Agricultural study. In 1950, the Division of Biological Sciences was created, and a number of departmental faculties were established and placed administratively within it, including Entomology. Courses in Entomology were listed for the first time as a separate subject, although it was not yet a full-fledged department. This occurred only after the Division was dissolved in 1955, and each faculty became a separate department. Less

By the turn of the century the College had grown to some half dozen buildings, about 300 students, and had begun to diversify its curricula. In 1917, the institution's name was changed to North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering (State College). In 1931 the College greatly reworked its curricula as it underwent consolidation. Along with North Carolina College for Women and the University of North Carolina, it became a part of the Consolidated University of North Carolina,. North Carolina State is now one of the constituent institutions of the multi-campus University of North Carolina system, having received university status, and, after some controversy, assumed its current name in 1965. As of 2007, N.C. State had a student body of nearly 30,000, nearly two thousand faculty, and research and program expenditures of over $440 million. Less

The North Carolina Buildings Collection includes drawings, specifications, construction contracts, and correspondence relating to individual buildings in North Carolina. Unbuilt projects are included. The finding aid contains a description for each project, including the name of the architect(s), a brief description of the project, and an inventory of documents. Projects are arranged by type of building. The late 19th century saw radical changes in building practices in North Carolina, brought about by the rise of professional architects and contractors, increased industrialization, and the standardization of building components. Population booms between 1900 and 1940 precipitated increased construction, and suburbs emerged where major cities doubled or tripled their populations during this period. Increasingly, professional architects were responsible for the design of housing, as well as commercial, industrial and civic buildings. In 1905, North Carolina became one of the earliest states to enact a uniform building code. The North Carolina Architectural Association (NCAA) was formed by a group of Charlotte architects in 1909. Their aims were ultimately to form a North Carolina Chapter of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and to promote the passage of an architectural Practice Act Bill in the General Assembly. The North Carolina Chapter of AIA, chartered in 1913, regulated fees to eliminate unfair competition and provided a code of ethics for professional standards. The Practice Act Bill, ratified in 1915, provided for the examination and licensing of architects. A similar "Act to Regulate the Practice of General Contracting," passed in 1925, regulated the construction industry. Regulation of architectural and building industries led to increased uniformity in working drawings and specifications for buildings, as national industry standards for drafting and construction were followed. Still largely rural and conservative following World War II, North Carolina nevertheless made rapid economic and architectural progress. The 1950s found the state on the cutting edge of architectural development, as the internationally renowned faculty of the School of Design at North Carolina State College vigorously promoted modernism as the only "correct" style. Modernism was embraced for governmental and institutional buildings, while housing remained, for the most part, rooted in traditional forms. Less
