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.

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 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.

Specific subjects include the Personal Rapid Transit (PRT); honor societies; special summer courses; the Medical Center; history of the University; WVU baseball; and WVU presidential inaugurations. Included is a special issue of the  Beacon  (Hope Natural Gas) (1951) featuring WVU. "," The series also includes a notebook with notes and commentary regarding Core's 1950 WVU recruitment efforts at West Virginia high schools: Philippi High School, Lost Creek High School, Jane Lew High School, Buckhannon Upshur High School, Buckhannon Upshur High School-Tennerton Branch, Walkersville High School, Weston High School, and St. Patrick High School in Weston. Each high school entry includes introductory notes usually with the principal; attendance; individual interviews with a few students; and possible enrollments for WVU. "," Box 11 contains the majority of the materials, however Box 20 contains a map of an Evansdale master plan (ca. 1964). "," See the Correspondence Series for letters and more regarding Dr. Core's work in the WVU Biology Department, the Herbarium, and the University at large.","Earl L. Core published scholarly articles, newspaper columns, and books about Monongalia County history and its environs as well as definitive works on the botany of West Virginia. Dr. Core published a newspaper column titled \"The Monongalia Story\" in the  Dominion Post  which presumably provided background research for a book by the same title. This series includes some of the original published articles as newspaper clippings (1976-1985, but most with no dates; box 19, folder 5) as well as typed and handwritten drafts (Box 15, ca. 1977-1979). Box 15 also includes  Guide to the North American International Excursion  from the International Society for Vegetation Science for which Dr. Core wrote Chapter 8. Box 19 includes a newspaper clipping of a book review of  History of Harrison County ; and handwritten text, possibly lecture notes, which discusses evolution, creation, and religion. "," See the Correspondence Series for letters requesting copies and discussing Dr. Core's botany books. See the Graphic Materials series for sketches, photographs, and maps included in  The Monongalia Story .","Includes files, sorted alphabetically by family name researched in box 10, of correspondence to and from Dr. Core with some facsimiles and transcriptions of historical documents included. The Genealogy Series also includes some genealogical charts and typed family histories. "," Publications in the series include the 1983 surname list from the KYOWA Genealogical Society (Huntington), and  The Pioneer: Second Annual Report of the Descendants of the French Creek Pioneers  (1925) which includes a history of the Morgan Family. "," Additional Core family history is found throughout the Correspondence Series, boxes 1-8. Box 8, folder 5 contains biographical materials for Earl Lemley Core and Lewis Addison Core.","Includes photographs, some black and white and some color, some original and some facsimiles; postcards some with writing and some blank; glass plate negatives; film negatives; facsimiles of sketches including David Hunter Strother's work; and maps. Some photographs include subject identification, some do not. It appears that some of the photographs and maps were illustrations in publications since they have figure numbers noted. Topics covered by the photographs, postcards, and negatives include plants, animals, gardens, and forests; buildings; scenes; individuals and groups of people including members of the Core family; WVU buildings; the WVU Arboretum; WVU personages; West Virginia; and more. Most of the photographs are from the Morgantown and Monongalia County areas, particularly Blacksville in Box 16. The glass plates, also Box 16, are of birds and other animals; one includes a woman and a chipmunk; and one is of a child with a cart pulled by two opossums and includes prints. Some of the glass plate photographs have been digitized. Additional film negatives include portraits, buildings, and more, and may have been illustrations for Core's books. In addition to Strother's sketches, the sketches include facsimiles of portraits and one original sketch of a man shucking corn. "," The maps include an historical map of Botetourt County, Virginia (1756); edited historical Monongalia County map (1826); map of Morgantown (1785); and map of Monongalia County churches (1953). The series includes the maps and sketches on paper board for the book  The Monongalia Story ; box 15 contains maps of Monongalia County and environs as well as municipalities; box 19, folders 1 and 3 contain a sketch and maps; boxes 20-21 include sketches and maps.","This series includes these objects: address stamp for Earl L. Core, Biology Department (ca. 1963); small trowel imprinted with \"The Duntile Company\" (ca. 1960s); and a \"Micro Windgauge Receiver Sight, No. 48, for Springfield Rifles\" with box and insert (ca. 1910). Also, includes these objects moved from box 14: three cut nails (ca. 1820) and mailing envelope; and an unidentified key on twine taped to envelope labeled \"FILM.\""],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePermission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.
