MoreThe records of the North Carolina State College (later, University) Department of Agronomy contain correspondence, minutes, reports, project information, publications, and department history files. Materials range in date from 1934 to 1960. Early study of agronomy at North Carolina State University (then, the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts) was largely the province of the North Carolina Experiment Station, until Charles B. Williams was appointed the University's first agronomist in 1906. He held that position until 1917, when he became the Dean of Agriculture, a position he held until 1923. In 1924, he was named to be the first Head of the new Department of Agronomy, created with the concurrent founding of the School of Agriculture. The Department quickly established a strong reputation in teaching, research, and farm extension work. By the 1940s the Department had developed into two destinct programs of study: Crops and Soils. During the following decade the department had grown so large that in 1955 it was dissolved and its components formed into two separate departments, Field Crops and Soils. These Departments were eventually renamed Crop Science and Soil Science, respectively.
