During the early 1900's, orphans were often children of neglect and poverty. Some sought out orphanages because the living conditions were an improvement over life at home or on the street.

The collection highlights the study of science by a female student at the turn of the twentieth century.It is a personal archive detailing life inside an American orphanage during a pivotal moment in the history of child advocacy.The education provided by an orphanage could give students academic opportunities beyond their origins.","\nThe notebooks are soft composition books with a range of covers, some patriotic, and range in size from 10\" x 8\" to 6\" x 9\" inches. Rhoades has written in each book in either pencil or pen, although all contain blank pages. ","Five of the notebooks are of high school coursework such as Advanced Algebra, Latin, Grammar, United States history, and Greek philosophy, which gives an insight into high school education in the early twentieth century. Many of the notebooks are a mix of the above subjects. ","The notebooks also include unsent or drafts of letters sharing personal news with her relatives including her cousin and brother. Additional notes are tipped into some of the notebooks with letters or academic notes. ","Apart from these school textbooks, one notebook documents school expenditures, including expenses and vendors, suggesting that Rhoades had an administrative role in the school. ","Rhoades studied in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Of note, the Botany workbook is titled \"Record of plant analyses,\" by A.C. Rothermel, principal, Keystone State Normal School, Kutztown, PA, and published in Kutztown, PA. by Journal and Patriot Printing House, 1902. It is filled with handwritten notes, drawings, and observations from Bessie M. Rhoades.","There are twenty-eight individual drawings of flowers and twenty-five handwritten entries of scientific observations with these drawings. A handwritten label on the front cover has Bessie's signature and the dates \"May 6, 1903\" and \"April 28, 1904\". It includes entries for many plant species. Some are identified by \"common names\" in addition to their proper order, genus, and species: Buttercup, Strawberry, Painted Cup, Violet, Geranium, Star of Bethlehem, Cinque Foil, Robins Plantain, Catnip, Speedwell, Mallow, Rattlesnake Weed, Oxeyed Daisy, Checker Berry, Money Wort, etc. Each entry allocates spaces to list observations about the plant, including the place and date where found, the type of soil in which it grew, the height and form of the plant, the etymology of the plant name, geography, propagation techniques, and uses (ornamental, medicinal, etc.) There are detailed prompts to encourage the study of the plant's anatomy and a Glossary of Botanical Terms.","Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library","Max Rambod","English"],"unitid_tesim":["MSS 16776","Archival Resource Key","/repositories/3/resources/1515"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Bessie M.

He received his Bachelor of Arts from West Virginia University in 1926; his masters from WVU in 1928; and a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1936.  Dr. Core was a professor in WVU's Biology Department for 44 years (1928-1972) and chair of the Department for 18 years (1948-1966).  He was also curator of the WVU Herbarium for 40 years (1934-1972).  During World War II the Foreign Economic Administration sent Core to Columbia, South America (1943-1944), to explore the Andes Mountains in search of a source for quinine from the  Cinchona  tree.  There he discovered at least 15 new species and in 1978 one of the plants he discovered, the genus  Corethamnium , was named for him.  ","Core was founder (1936) of the Southern Appalachian Botanical Club and editor of the journal,  Castenea , for 35 years.  He was the author of scholarly books and articles with his early works focusing on the botany of West Virginia, and later works on local history and church history.  Two biology textbooks he co-authored became standards:  General Biology  with P.D. Strausbauh and B.R. Weimer and  A New Manual for the Biology Laboratory  with Weimer.  He also collaborated with Strausbaugh to write the classic  The Flora of West Virginia .   Other botany texts include  Vegetation of West Virginia ,  Woody Plants in Winter , and his most popular book  Spring Wild Flowers of West Virginia  which has been in print since 1948.  Core published articles in  Castenea ,  Proceedings of the West Virginia Academy of Science , and other scholarly sources.   ","After retirement in 1972, Core turned more of his attention to local history.  His most extensive local history work is the five-volume history of Monongalia County, West Virginia,  The Monongalia Story  (1974-1984).  His regular column, \"The Monongalia Story\" in Morgantown's  Dominion Post  also details the history of the county.  Earlier he had written  The Chronicles of Core  (1937) about the town where he was born, and  Morgantown Disciples: a History of the First Christian Church of Morgantown  (1960).","Core's civic activities were numerous and include serving on the Morgantown Public Library Board for 20 years (1959-1979), Morgantown City Council for 4 years, and Mayor of Morgantown for 2 years (1956-1957).  Core was an elder in his church, president of the Monongalia Historical Society, president of the Kiwanis, and much more.  In 1948, Core persuaded WVU to set aside 100 acres for an Arboretum. The Core Arboretum was named for him in 1967.   Earl L. Core Road in Morgantown also sports his name.  ","He died in Morgantown in 1984.","Elizabeth \"Betty\" Ann Bartholomew, botanist and educator, was born in Wheeling, West Virginia, in 1912.  She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in botany from West Virginia University in 1934.  She received a Master of Arts degree in botany from WVU with the thesis titled \"The Flora of Wirt County, West Virginia\" in 1948.  Bartholomew joined the staff of the WVU Biology Department in 1938, first as Herbarium clerk and later as Herbarium assistant.  In 1963 she was appointed as a biology instructor and curator of the Herbarium.  During this time she created the Distribution of Southeastern Plants to facilitate the exchange of specimens.  She added thousands of plants to the Herbarium collection and in 1950 started a 2,000-plant seed collection.  She retired from WVU in 1977","\nBartholomew was a member of the West Virginia Academy of Science, editor of its newsletter (1960-61), and secretary (1972-1985); member and secretary for the Southern Appalachian Botanical Club (1946-1981); member of the American Nut Growers Association; charter member and faculty advisor of the botany fraternity Phi Epsilon Phi; and member of Phi Mu.\n    ","Bartholomew who joined the Girl Scouts at age 12 earned all the nature badges and maintained a life-long interest in scouting.  She served as a Girl Scout leader for more than 20 years.  She also promoted nature to children through the Phi Epsilon Phi annual Wildflower Day.  Additionally she worked with the Oglebay Nature Camp, church camp, and others.  She was a leader at the annual Wildflower Pilgrimage at Blackwater Falls.\n    ","The Southern Appalachian Botanical Society created the Elizabeth Ann Bartholomew Award in 1989 in her honor and the governor named her as the Outstanding West Virginia in 1974.\n    ","She died in Morgantown in 1985.","1197, 1556, 1730","Original Accession; 1756-1985; boxes 1-21 and two oversize folders","\nRecords of Earl L. Core, botanist, writer, editor, historian, and West Virginia University professor and Biology Department Head.  Includes the correspondence, collected research materials, and writings of Dr. Core. The earliest correspondence, 1951-1960, deals mostly with his role as a botanist and West Virginia University Botany Department chair, and includes letters both to and from Dr. Core. Later correspondence, mostly from the 1960s but up to 1984, includes historical and genealogical inquiries in addition to matters pertaining to botany, publications, and Biology Department business.  Of importance is Dr. Core's correspondence with two prominent botanists, P.D. Strausbaugh, with whom Core authored botany and biology texts, and H.A. Allard.","\nIn addition to botany and nature, a large part of the collection deals with the history of Morgantown, Monongalia County, and West Virginia.  The collected research materials for these areas include newspaper clippings, booklets and pamphlets, correspondence, genealogical charts, maps, original historical documents, and more.  Dr. Core's research resulted in the publication of a 5-volume history of Monongalia County,  The Monongalia Story , as well as numerous newspaper columns in the  Dominion Post .  The collected research materials support Dr. Core's research for some 30 monographs on various aspects of natural history, local history, and to a lesser extent Bible and religious study.

He received his Bachelor of Arts from West Virginia University in 1926; his masters from WVU in 1928; and a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1936.  Dr. Core was a professor in WVU's Biology Department for 44 years (1928-1972) and chair of the Department for 18 years (1948-1966).  He was also curator of the WVU Herbarium for 40 years (1934-1972).  During World War II the Foreign Economic Administration sent Core to Columbia, South America (1943-1944), to explore the Andes Mountains in search of a source for quinine from the  Cinchona  tree.  There he discovered at least 15 new species and in 1978 one of the plants he discovered, the genus  Corethamnium , was named for him.  ","Core was founder (1936) of the Southern Appalachian Botanical Club and editor of the journal,  Castenea , for 35 years.  He was the author of scholarly books and articles with his early works focusing on the botany of West Virginia, and later works on local history and church history.  Two biology textbooks he co-authored became standards:  General Biology  with P.D. Strausbauh and B.R. Weimer and  A New Manual for the Biology Laboratory  with Weimer.  He also collaborated with Strausbaugh to write the classic  The Flora of West Virginia .   Other botany texts include  Vegetation of West Virginia ,  Woody Plants in Winter , and his most popular book  Spring Wild Flowers of West Virginia  which has been in print since 1948.  Core published articles in  Castenea ,  Proceedings of the West Virginia Academy of Science , and other scholarly sources.   ","After retirement in 1972, Core turned more of his attention to local history.  His most extensive local history work is the five-volume history of Monongalia County, West Virginia,  The Monongalia Story  (1974-1984).  His regular column, \"The Monongalia Story\" in Morgantown's  Dominion Post  also details the history of the county.  Earlier he had written  The Chronicles of Core  (1937) about the town where he was born, and  Morgantown Disciples: a History of the First Christian Church of Morgantown  (1960).","Core's civic activities were numerous and include serving on the Morgantown Public Library Board for 20 years (1959-1979), Morgantown City Council for 4 years, and Mayor of Morgantown for 2 years (1956-1957).  Core was an elder in his church, president of the Monongalia Historical Society, president of the Kiwanis, and much more.  In 1948, Core persuaded WVU to set aside 100 acres for an Arboretum. The Core Arboretum was named for him in 1967.   Earl L. Core Road in Morgantown also sports his name.

Bartholomew joined the staff of the WVU Biology Department in 1938, first as Herbarium clerk and later as Herbarium assistant.  In 1963 she was appointed as a biology instructor and curator of the Herbarium.  During this time she created the Distribution of Southeastern Plants to facilitate the exchange of specimens.

He earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Maryland in 1927. The 1930 census shows George Shear living in the Arlington, Virginia home of his parents. He is described as 24, single, and unemployed. ","Later that year, Shear married Olalla Elaine Glasgow (1906-1983), who, like him, had obtained a master's degree in botany at the University of Illinois in 1928. The Shears would have four children. ","Also around 1930, Shear started work at the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station as a plant physiologist. In 1949, he became a professor of plant physiology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He was a pioneer in developing no-tillage farming techniques during the 1960s and was a noted expert on the cultivation of watercress. ","George Myron Shear retired from Virginia Tech in 1970. He died in 1990 and was buried in Blacksburg's Westview Cemetery.","The guide to the George Myron Shear Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ ).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the George Myron Shear Papers commenced and was completed in December, 2018.","This collection contains the papers of George Myron Shear, a plant pathologist and physiologist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute from 1930 to 1970. Among the correspondence are several 1927 letters from the laboratory of Thomas A. Edison regarding a project in which Shear was to collect for the lab various botanical samples of plants containing a milkly latex. Included among these are photocopies of two letters from Thomas A. Edison. (The project arose from Edison's attempt to develop a cost-effective domestic production of rubber.) The remainder of the correspondence relates largely to requests from various individuals for copies of Shear's articles and for assistance with various projects. Other letters relate to nominees for the No-Tillage Pioneer of the Year Award. Also included is a collection of Shear's writings, consisting mostly of printed materials relating to his work with no-tillage farming. Except where otherwise noted, all articles in the collection were either authored or co-authored by Shear. The publications are followed by a bibliography of Shear's reports and articles. A booklet about no-till farming, published by Allis-Chalmers and incorporating research data from Virginia Tech, completes the collection.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.
