Biography/History
Shirl O. Graham was born in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1918 and remained there until graduating in botany from the University of Nebraska in 1941. After serving as an Army officer in the South Pacific, Graham worked with the Washington State Department of Agriculture in Olympia and Prosser from 1948 to 1950, and then entered the WSU Plant Pathology department's graduate program as a Research Assistant in 1951. On completing his doctorate in 1954, he was hired as an Assistant Professor and rose to Professor in 1968, serving in that rank until his death in 1976. Dr. Graham taught all levels of Plant Pathology courses, and conducted research in various biochemical aspects of plant diseases especially the fungus disease anthracnose, bean viruses, and fruit tree nutrition disorders. He was credited with being co-discoverer of an anti-viral antibiotic, phytoactin.
Scope and Content
Research and laboratory notes, seminar papers, lecture notes and course materials, correspondence, and slides, concerning research and instructional activities.
Arrangement
The papers were arranged by topic, roughly divided between materials related to teaching and those related to research. At certain points the two areas overlap--as in graduate research seminars--in such cases the research function was considered primary, and seminar papers filed with corresponding research files. The final arrangement preserves this original order by dividing the papers into two series according to their instructional or research function.
Series I is further divided into subseries for graduate and undergraduate course materials; Series II is divided into three subseries -- numbered and named research projects, materials related to anthracnose research, and other research topics. The original titles of folders have been preserved; untitled folders have been titled in brackets according to their main subject.
