Excerpt from The Killing of Plant Tissue by Low Temperature: Submitted in the Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the University of Missouri, 1914 I was born July 31, 1878, on a farm in Bates county, Missouri. My common school education was secured in the Public Schools of this county, and, later, I attended the Butler Academy at Butler, Missouri. For several years I served as a teacher in the public schools of Bates county. In September 1901, I entered the College of Agriculture of the University of Missouri. The degree of Bachelor bf Science in Agriculture was given to me in 1905. For the school year of 1905-6 I served as Fellow in Horticulture at the University of Missouri and in June, 1906, took the-degree of Master of Science in Agriculture. The subject of my thesis was; "Winter, Killing of Peach Buds as Influenced by Previous Treatment of the Trees." In 1906, I became Assistant in Horticulture, University of Missouri, and in 1909, Instructor in Horticulture. My rank was raised to Assistant Professor of Horticulture in 1911. I was elected Professor of Research in Pomology, Cornell University, in 1913, which position I still hold.
