BIOGRAPHY 



William Henry Chandler 



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, Mis- 

 souri. For several years I served as a teacher in the public schools 

 of Butler county. ^ 



In September, 1901, I entered the College of Agriculture of the 

 University of Missouri. The degree of Bachelor of Science in Agri- 

 culture 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 Influ- 

 enced by Previous Treatment of the Trees." 



In 1906, I became Assistant in Horticulture, University of Mis- 

 souri, and in 1909, Instructor in Horticulture. My rank was raised 

 to Assistant Professor of Horticulture in 191 1. I was elected Pro- 

 fessor of Research in Pomology, Cornell University, in 1913, which 

 position I still hold. 



I have published, or have in press, the following papers of the 

 Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station: 

 Bulletin 74 The Winter Killing of Peach Buds as Influenced by 



Previous Treatment of the Trees.
