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.

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.

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.
