Joseph Charles Gilman was born March 23, 1890 in Hastings, Nebraska. He received a B.S.A. degree (1912) and M.S. (1914) from the University of Wisconsin, and a Ph.D. (1915) from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri. Gilman began his career as a Professor of Biology at Rippon College (1915-1918). In 1918, he came to Iowa State College (University) as an Assistant Plant Pathologist (1918-1921). Gilman was soon promoted to Assistant Professor of Botany (1921-1924), Associate Professor (1924-1934), and Professor (1934-1966). For over a year, he served as acting head of the Department of Botany (1946-1947). Gilman's main research interests included the study of fungi and other parasites. Gilman wrote several articles and books on the subject including a Manual of Soil Fungi (1945, 1957). He was also the editor of the Iowa State College Journal of Science (1940-1948) and the associate editor of Phytopathology (1932-1935). Gilman belonged to several professional associations and honorary societies including Sigma Xi, and Alpha Zeta. Gilman married Louise Thomas and they had three children: Ruth, David, and Anne Scott. Gilman Passed away December 24, 1966. |
The collection (1916-1966, undated) contains biographical materials and articles regarding fungi and other parasites. The memorial Gilman wrote for Louis Pammel is also in the collection. In addition, the papers include correspondence with Iowa State University faculty and the general public regarding his expertise with fungi. |
The collection is arranged alphabetically. |
