MoreRalph Clement Bryant (1913-1994) was the son of R. C. Bryant, the first person to receive a forestry degree in the United States. The younger Bryant received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Yale University and his Ph.D. from Duke University. He joined the North Carolina State University faculty in 1952 and in 1970 was recognized as an outstanding teacher of the year. The younger Bryant was a member of Sigma Xi, Xi Sigma Pi, Alpha Zeta, the Society of American Foresters, the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The Ralph Clement Bryant family papers consist of a notebook and typed pages related to coursework in silviculture. The notebook, dated 1899 and labeled "Forestry 3 -- Silviculture," belonged to R. C. Bryant, the father of Ralph Clement Bryant, who became Professor of Forestry at North Carolina State University. The typed pages consist of an outline of the subject of silviculture and a set of exam questions. These are undated and may have belonged to the son, Professor Ralph Clement Bryant.
