Preface
People move forward into the future
out of the way they comprehend the past.
— Norman Mailer
It was the future that was on the minds of the 54 people who met in December of 1908
to create “The American Phytopathological Society.” These scientists envisioned a Society
that would be “of invaluable aid in promoting the future development of this important
and rapidly growing subject.”
However, it was the past that captured the imagination of the members of the APS
Centennial Planning Committee as we reflected upon and planned the commemoration
of this 100-year-milestone event. As scientists, we build upon the work of those who
have come before us, so an understanding of the history of one’s own field is imperative.
Our past can be seen as a series of discoveries or events, but the people behind each
of these steps of progress are also important. Life experiences and character can play
surprisingly critical roles in discovery. Narrative accounts of the past can help us
understand this human side of scientific progress.
The founding members of our Society have left us an invaluable legacy. As APS members,
we are contributing to the continuation of that legacy. R. James Cook, an APS member
for 50 years, spent months researching APS’s impressive past. His treatise, “The 100-Year
History of APS,” published here, is an important contribution to our centennial record.
It also will serve as a valuable reference for future members of APS.
The Oral History DVDs included here capture this moment in our history through
the voices of our membership. Created over a three-year period under the leadership
of Darin Eastburn, a member for more than 25 years, the enclosed DVDs feature
interviews with six prominent plant pathologists and numerous members’ perspectives
on their experiences as scientists and as APS members.

Introduction
he American Phytopathological Society (APS) is arguably among
the most robust, service-oriented, and successful scientific societies
in the world, whether measured by the quality and number of its
journal and nonjournal publications, public service and outreach,
leadership among its scientific-society peer group, success of its annual meetings,
international leadership and service, member services, member volunteerism,
or financial health. With now more than 5,000 members, it may well be
the most successful of all professional scientific societies of similar size in the
United States if not the world. It is my honor and privilege to be invited to tell the
100-year success story of APS, from its humble yet visionary beginnings through
our centenary celebration.
Like any historical narrative, the story of APS is a story of the accomplishments of
ordinary people—members who took their turns as leaders, many as extraordinary
leaders. This story could well fill the pages of a large book, and even what I intended as a
“brief ” review when taking on this project has turned out longer than I had envisioned.
Nevertheless, and with apologies to the many whose contributions and leadership have
not been chronicled, I have attempted here to 1) follow the development of a select
few themes that seem to characterize and even distinguish APS among its peer group of
professional scientific societies; 2) describe some of the struggles and interesting sojourns,
such as the publication of abstracts of papers and posters presented at annual meetings,
or the perceived lack of public image; and 3) personalize where appropriate my own
reflections as a member of APS for the past 50 years.
This is a review of the history of The American Phytopathological Society and not of
the science of plant pathology in America. Nevertheless, it seems useful to consider the
status of plant pathology in the United States in those formative years in the context
of the biological sciences generally and the science, practice, and organization of plant
pathology more specifically in Europe leading up to the 20th century. Darwin’s theory
that the origin and diversity of species could be explained by natural selection had been
published in 1859; Pasteur’s proof of the microbiological basis for fermentation and
disproof of spontaneous generation had been published starting in 1858; and Gregor
Mendel’s work, considered the foundation for modern genetics and first published in
1866, had become generally known among biologists by the turn of the 20th century.
Consider further that Provost’s 1803 report on the infectious nature of covered smut of
wheat was already more than 100 years in the past by the time APS was formed, and that
Julius Kuehn’s 1858 volume Die Krankheiten dur Kulturgewaehse, ihre Ursachen und ihre
Verhuetung, considered the beginning of plant pathology as both a practice and a science
(40), appeared 50 years before the formation of APS. The first professional society of
plant pathology, the Royal Netherlands Society of Plant Pathology, was formed in 1891,
predating APS by 17 years.
Stevenson (37), in his paper presented at the 1958 (Golden Jubilee) meeting of APS,
states that plant pathology as either a science or a practice was essentially nonexistent in
America until the last quarter of the 19th century and that there were only 11 workers
with the title of plant pathologist at the State Agricultural Experiment Stations (SAES)
as of 1904, although others with titles such as botanist, entomologist, and agronomist
were doing plant pathology work. Stevenson’s numbers notwithstanding, a more
realistic indication of the strength of plant pathology in America around that time can
be gained from the 130 charter members of APS in 1909, representing institutions
literally from east to west and north to south. Moreover, the typical focus of those
early-day American plant pathologists on applied research was not without major
contributions to the science. One example is Bolley’s (6) classic 1901 report from the
North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station on “flax-sick soil” that provided some of
the first evidence that the crop rotation effect required a biological and not a chemical
explanation (22).
8
It was also during this early period that Erwin F. Smith, a member of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Division of Vegetable Pathology, after taking up
the study of diseases caused by bacteria in the early 1890s, was ridiculed by the German
plant pathologist Albert Fischer, who did not believe that bacteria caused plant diseases
(25). This led to the famous controversy of 1897-1901, when Smith won out over
Fischer, thereby establishing phytobacteriology as a field of investigation and arguably
making America the home of this independent field of plant pathology research. More
than 60 years later, following the annual meeting held in Miami in 1965, in one of many
successful efforts by APS to inform and guide national policy, letters were sent to all
deans of colleges of agriculture and directors of state agricultural experiment stations and
a number of other administrative and political officials, expressing concern over the lack
of research and teaching in phytobacteriology in the United States. President George
Zentmyer stated in his 1966 report to the members of APS that “a large number of
informative replies were received.” The actions that followed in response to
these letters no doubt contributed greatly to the role that phytobacteriology
would later play in the establishment of molecular plant pathology, starting
in the mid-1980s with the report by Staskawicz, Dahlbeck, and Keen (36)
of the first cloning and characterization of an avirulence gene from the
phytopathogenic Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea.
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), formed
in 1848, is to be credited with fostering the development of plant pathology
as a science in America and for providing the leadership that led to the
formation of APS (11). A committee of AAAS members consisting of
J. C. Arthur, C. E. Bessey, W. G. Farlow, T. J. Burrill, and C. H. Peck
was appointed in 1884 for the “encouragement of research on the health
and disease of plants.” This AAAS committee wrote in 1885 to the
Commissioner (now Secretary) of Agriculture urging that plant diseases
be included as part of the studies of the Department’s botanist. In response,
a Section of Mycology was established within the USDA Division of Botany,
with F. Lamson-Scribner as the head, starting in 1885. In 1890, the Commissioner
of Agriculture established the Division of Vegetable Pathology with Beverly Galloway
as chief. The Journal of Mycology, devoted at first entirely to taxonomy of fungi by the
Section of Mycology, was taken over by the Division of Vegetable Pathology as an outlet
for information on plant diseases, and as such became the first American journal for
plant pathology. It was also under the auspices of AAAS that USDA plant pathologist
C. L. Shear organized a meeting, held on December 30, 1908, during the annual
meeting of AAAS held that year in Baltimore, to discuss the formation of an independent
American scientific society for plant pathologists.
Fifty-four people attended the organizational meeting led by Shear (31). The statement
released from that meeting read:
C. L. Shear, a USDA plant
pathologist (35), organized
the meeting on December
30, 1908, that led to the
formation of The American
Phytopathological Society
one year later. He was the
first secretary-treasurer
of APS, served on the
first editorial board of
Phytopathology, and was
elected president in 1919.
The photo was taken while
he was president.
It is our opinion that an American Phytopathological Society placed upon a
broad and generous foundation, may be of invaluable aid in promoting the
future development of this important and rapidly growing subject in America,
and that its influence may be made of international importance.
It is interesting to note the similarities between this humble yet visionary statement and
the Society’s 2007 Vision Statement:
The APS will be a diverse global community of scientists that: provides credible
and beneficial information related to plant health; advocates and participates
in the exchange of knowledge with the public, policy makers, and the larger
scientific community; and promotes and provides opportunities for scientific
communication, career preparation and professional development for its
members.

The first officers of APS were elected at that 1908 organizational meeting: President
L. R. Jones, University of Wisconsin; Vice President A. D. Selby, Ohio Agricultural
Experiment Station; Secretary-Treasurer C. L. Shear, USDA; and Councilors J. B. S.
Norton, University of Maryland, and B. M. Duggar, Cornell University. The officers
wrote a constitution and bylaws for the new organization, and 130 people responded to
the invitation to join APS as charter members (see pg. 59-60). Dues were set at 50 cents.

The first meeting of APS was held jointly with AAAS the following year,
on December 30-31, 1909, in Boston; 50 members attended and 45
papers were presented. Dues were raised to $1. The new officers elected
at that first official meeting were President F. L. Stevens, North Carolina
State; Vice President A. F. Woods, University of Minnesota; SecretaryTreasurer C. L. Shear; and Councilors L. R. Jones, A. D. Selby, and H. H.
Whetzel, Cornell University. APS was incorporated under the laws of the
District of Columbia on October 25, 1915.
Horsfall (23) referred affectionately to this founding group as “another
splinter group from the botanical main stem.” Indeed, most of those
conducting research on plant diseases at the time of the formation of
APS had the title of botanist, going back to the Hatch Act of 1887 and
formation of the SAES system, which provided for a botanist and an
entomologist at each land-grant university. Moreover, those who voted
against the motion to form The American Phytopathological Society
during the 1908 organizational meeting were concerned that such a
move would fragment the botanical community. Interestingly, while the
botanical (or plant) sciences gave rise to plant pathology at the beginning
of the 20th century, arguably, molecular plant pathology gave rise to
molecular plant biology at the end of the century.

first annual meeting of The
American Phytopathological
Society, held in Boston
December 30-31, 1909.
The formative years of APS need little additional review beyond those of Campbell et al.
(11), Horsfall (23), McCallan (31), and Peterson and Griffith (35). On the other hand,
the themes that tell the story (or stories) of APS are already apparent among the decisions
and the myriad of details available in annual reports and archived correspondence during
this early period. Here I pick up the threads of six areas that in my opinion characterize
and distinguish the Society today:
• Leadership in the promotion of excellence in plant pathology;
• Public image of plant pathologists;
• National service and outreach;
• International service and outreach;
• Industry relations; and
• Infrastructure, professional management, and governance.
Leadership in the Promotion of
Excellence in Plant Pathology
APS has promoted excellence in plant pathology largely through its high-quality
publications, and therefore this first section is primarily a historical account of the steps
forward (and sometimes backward) in the development and maintenance of journals first,
then books, and now online publications. It is through these instruments and those of
other professional plant pathology societies that plant pathologists from all over the world,
not just in America, have built the science and practice of plant pathology that we know
today.
The Society’s Flagship Publication: Phytopathology
It was also decided at that first meeting of APS to start a new journal, to be named
Phytopathology. Launched as a bimonthly journal with Volume 1, Number 1, issued in
February 1911, Phytopathology became a monthly publication with the January issue of
10
Volume 8 in 1918. The first editorial board was chaired by L. R. Jones and supported by
editors C. L. Shear and H. H. Whetzel, with 12 associate editors and Donald Reddick as
business manager. The title of editor-in-chief was first used in 1921, and the subtitle, An
International Journal, was added in 1925. A European editor was added in 1924, starting
with H. M. Quanjer of Wageningen, but this arrangement was discontinued in 1943.
The decision to charge for reprints was made at the 1950 annual meeting in Memphis.
Growth of Phytopathology in scientific stature and popularity during its early years
soon led to the day when the onerous and even burdensome duties of editor-in-chief
were making it difficult to attract a member to serve voluntarily in this role. After 11
members reportedly turned down the request to serve as editor-in-chief in the late
1950s, immediate past president Helen Hart captured the dilemma in a letter dated July
2, 1957, to President George Fischer: “I feel quite certain that practically everyone…
at the present time is loathe to give up his opportunities for research and teaching in
order to assume the editorial work.” A. F. Ross, then editor-in-chief, had suggested that a
grant-in-aid or honorarium might help, but Hart foresaw the day when “we are going to
have to employ more paid workers on some of our routine society business.” Saul Rich,
treasurer and business manager, objected to Ross’s suggestion, stating that
“to offer money as a lure may attract the wrong kind of person to the job.”

Rich proposed that the Society “pattern the editorial management of
Phytopathology after that of the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences,” whereby authors would obtain “original letters from three
members who would state that the manuscript has met certain standards
set by the editor-in-chief, and who would then accept the manuscript
on behalf of the Society. The author would then send the approved
manuscript to the printer together with the accepting letters.” Rich
claimed to know of two members willing to serve on these terms. In a
blunt response, Ross wrote on July 8, 1957, that “the proposal as outlined
[by Rich] would ruin the journal” and that “it would result in a marked
lowering of the quality of our publication.” Ross pointed out that “the
author would be free to choose reviewers whom he knew in advance would
approve the paper as written,” and if “one or more of these reviewers did
not approve the paper, he would be free to choose other reviewers…until
he obtained three signatures.” Ross added that “a dedicated man would…
tolerate drudgery and carping criticism in order to do a job as he thinks it
should be done; he might or might not need money.”

Hart, in her letter of July 2, 1957, had encouraged President Fischer to
check out the solution reached by the cereal chemists a few years earlier, and to “talk with
Dr. William Geddes and to Mr. Raymond Tarleton regarding the measures that the cereal
chemists have taken…for in-house technical editing.” As discussed in the next section,
the Society not only adopted the approach of the cereal chemists some 10 years later, it
also formed a partnership with the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC),
with Tarleton as executive vice president, that has persisted to the present day and proved
to be of fundamental importance to both professional organizations.

Phytopathology, issued
in February 1911 as
a bimonthly journal.
Phytopathology became a
monthly publication with the
January issue of Volume 8
in 1918.
Tensions over Quality and Publication of Abstracts in Phytopathology
Publication of abstracts of papers presented at the APS annual meetings, a practice that
began with Volume 1 of Phytopathology, became one of the more contentious issues
relatively early. The two main concerns were their variable quality and whether they
belonged in Phytopathology. Efforts were made to improve the quality. For example, in a
letter dated January 2, 1946, J. C. Walker was informed by APS Secretary E. M. Johnson
that, according to Helen Hart, then editor-in-chief of Phytopathology, he (Walker) had
consented to act as chair of a three-person committee to edit abstracts for the upcoming
St. Louis meeting. Likewise in 1957, A. F. Ross recommended to Council that abstracts
should be reviewed and edited, owing to the number that were poorly written and the fact
that “some abstracts contained so little factual material that it was not possible to evaluate
them.”
11
One of the first recommendations of a newly formed Publications [super] Committee,
at the 1962 annual meeting in Corvallis, was “that the publication in Phytopathology
of abstracts of papers presented at national and divisional meetings be discontinued;
that abstracts in a noncitable form be made available to the membership; and that
the membership be informed of the pros and cons of publication of abstracts well
in advance of the time that they will be requested to make the decision.” While this
recommendation was not immediately acted upon, a decision was made to charge for
publication of abstracts in Phytopathology, at the recommendation of the Publications
Committee in 1970. After discovering that some members of the Society were
submitting abstracts for publication in Phytopathology but not attending the annual
meeting and hence not paying the registration fee, Council in 1976 passed a motion that
“Abstracts for papers that are not presented at an annual meeting will not be published in
the Proceedings.”
The (short-lived) Annual Proceedings of The American Phytopathological Society
The proceedings referred to in the foregoing motion were officially The Annual
Proceedings of The American Phytopathological Society, launched in
1974, with their own cover design, primarily to get the abstracts

out of Phytopathology. Designed to include the annual reports
and symposia in addition to abstracts of the annual and divisional
meetings, and provided to members free of charge, the Proceedings
were also one of the bigger mistakes made by APS Councils. The
series proved not to be cost-effective, in large part because the
hoped-for acceptance by libraries did not materialize, and was
discontinued with the 1977 issue.
Council then directed that, while symposia would be published in
Phytopathology, abstracts and annual reports thenceforth would be
published in Phytopathology News. The decision was to be put to a
vote at the 1978 annual meeting in Tucson, with articles in favor
and in opposition to be published in Phytopathology News before
the meeting. As a member of Council (Pacific Division Councilor),
I was assigned responsibility for the article against publishing
abstracts in Phytopathology and instead publishing them in
Phytopathology News, while Rennie Stavely wrote the article opposed
to this decision. In a rare reversal of a Council decision, and after
considerable debate, the membership voted overwhelmingly at the
1978 general business meeting in Tucson to move abstracts back
to Phytopathology. In response, Council directed the Phytopathology
editorial board to finalize the details for its (Council’s) consideration “and [to be]
communicated to the membership as rapidly and effectively as possible.”

Phytopathology News,
published as a separate
bimonthly publication
beginning in February 1967.
Phytopathology News began
as a short newsletter issued to
each member starting in
1948 and then became part of
the advertising page of each
issue of Phytopathology
starting in 1951.
12
The recommendation, approved and implemented, led to publication of the abstracts
of the annual and division meetings in camera-ready (unedited) form, starting in 1979
with the 1978 abstracts. Annual reports continued to be published in Phytopathology
News through 1980 (the 72nd Annual Report), after which these also returned to
Phytopathology. Camera-ready abstracts continued to be published in Phytopathology
for the next 18 years (through the 1995 meetings). By that time, with word processing,
the pages of “camera-ready” abstracts looked just like the rest of the journal. (Abstracts
for the 1988 annual meeting and Pacific Division meeting were published as a separate
“Part 1” of the December issue of Phytopathology.) In 1996, under the leadership of
Dennis Gross as editor-in-chief, abstracts began to be published in Supplements to one
or more of the monthly issues of the journal. The first Supplement was to the November
1996 issue and contained abstracts from five division meetings held in 1996 as well as
the annual meeting in Indianapolis in July 1996. This practice continues as part of the
current policy of publishing abstracts in Phytopathology as Supplements with separate
pagination, annual reports in Phytopathology News, and symposium papers as articles in
Phytopathology subject to approval by the editor-in-chief.
Early Nonjournal Publications
The Society stepped early but also modestly into the business of publishing nonjournal
materials with Phytopathological Classics, starting in 1926. Fungicide and Nematicide Tests
(F & N) debuted in 1944 as a supplement to Plant Disease Reporter. The USDA had
to discontinue this service due to budget cuts and APS picked it up as a Society
publication starting in 1957. Phytopathology News began as a short newsletter issued
to each member starting in 1948 and then became part of the advertising page of each
issue of Phytopathology starting in 1951. Phytopathology News as a separate, monthly
publication began in February 1967, with Malcolm Shurtleff as the first editor.
Can the Classics Be “Self-Supporting”?
Production of Phytopathological Classics was almost singularly and enthusiastically a
project of Professor H. H. Whetzel. Whetzel maintained a policy that the Classics should
pay their own way through sales and not be subsidized by the Society. Upon his death in
1944, Council divided responsibility for the Classics between an editor and the business
manager. In a letter dated December 9, 1955, L. C. Knorr, then editor, pointed out to
Council that this arrangement was not working. Knorr wrote that “the Business Manager
[then C. W. Boothroyd], on the contrary [to Whetzel’s policy, supported by Knorr]
has viewed PC as a project to be supported by the Society as a whole and has requested
financial assistance from Council; two grants-in-aid totaling $1850 were made during
the last three years.” Knorr proposed that Whetzel’s policy be reaffirmed, pointing out
that “a policy of self-sufficiency makes it possible to gauge the extent to which PC is
fulfilling an actual need. When, however, PC operates on periodic grants, reality drops
out from underneath it, and PC assumes the status of a dispensable luxury. Supported
by a grudging charity, PC might well become unpopular.” Council accepted Knorr’s
recommendation and thereby established a policy that continues to this day: the Society’s
nonjournal publications should be priced in such a way that they are self-supporting and
therefore can be shown, based on sales, to have served a real need.
I witnessed and participated in similar discussions myself, during my approximately
10 years on Council in the 1970s and 1980s, with one side arguing that if the publication
is so important, the Society should subsidize it, and the other side arguing that if the
publication is that important, it will support itself through sales. Today, APS PRESS, the
publishing arm of the Society, is run as a business, with prices decided by staff and not
Council, not just to break even but to make a profit for support of member services.
Struggles to Launch Monographs and Reviews
Council in 1948 appointed a Special Committee on Publications with the charge of
enlisting authors of monographs and reviews. Apparently to double the effort or spread
out the workload, Council in the 1950s appointed two committees—a Monographs
Committee and a Reviews Committee—then later merged them into the Committee
on Monographs and Reviews. To further encourage members to think more broadly
about the science, Council in 1951 changed the policy to allow Phytopathology to publish
reviews rather than exclusively papers “concerned with original experimental data.”
When these measures failed to produce the expected reviews—Barley Yellow Dwarf (8)
was the only monograph published as of 1961—Council appointed a nine-member
“blue-ribbon” Special Committee to Study Publications and Public Relations, chaired by
James G. Horsfall. The eight-page report of this committee to Council in 1961, entitled
“Proposed Policy for a New Publication to Be Called Perspectives in Plant Pathology,” is
classic and undoubtedly the work of Horsfall. The report states for the benefit of Council:
“The Monographs Committee reported hopefully to you in 1957 that 9 topics had been
accepted by authors and one ‘is nearly complete.’ Reviews [Committee] the same year
noted 66 topics under consideration. In 1958, the Monograph Committee reported that
13 promises had been obtained, that 4 should be printed in 1959. This is 1961. One
monograph manuscript has been approved and submitted. Also in 1958, the Reviews
Committee reported 10 invitations sent out and refers to the ‘necessary follow-up letters.’
The word, necessary, is an understatement. Six are committed they say. None has been
13
delivered.” The report sums up the situation with the statement: “The general consensus
among members seems to be, ‘We want monographs and reviews, but count us out as
authors.’”
Horsfall was also appointed chair of the Committee on Monographs and Reviews, where
he continued to press for commitment, quality, and financial independence of the series.
In his report at the 1965 annual meeting in Miami, he wrote that “the essence of the
problem is that most members of the Society approve of monographs as an abstract idea
but in the real world monographs cost money.” He reported that, with a margin of 9 to 2,
the committee had voted to “recommend to Council that monographs be set up on a selfsustaining basis and handled like Phytopathological Classics, that members support it with
their checkbooks.”
…most members of
the Society approve of
monographs as an
abstract idea but in the
real world monographs
cost money....monographs
[should] be set up
on a self-sustaining
basis and handled like
Phytopathological
Classics, that members

– J. G. Horsfall, 1965
A survey of the APS membership conducted by the Committee on Monographs and
Reviews in 1978 revealed that the majority of respondents favored continuation of the
series, but only 1% of the membership responded. Facing continuing financial problems,
the committee considered whether it should “drop the word ‘Reviews’ from its name
and perhaps be combined into one committee with those of APS Compendia and APS
Classics.” Two new monographs (numbers 11 and 12 on chestnut blight and soybean
rust, respectively) were approved by Council in 1983. With the formation of APS PRESS
in 1984 (see below), the committee at its last meeting that year worked hard to “bring as
many of the projects as possible forward in good form for the new APS PRESS Editorial
Board.” This included the approval of new monographs on potato late blight and apple
scab and revisions of several published earlier.
From “Perspectives in Plant Pathology” to Annual Review of Phytopathology
The report of the Horsfall-chaired Special Committee to Study Publications and Public
Relations with its recommended new publication describes a “perspective” in plant
pathology as “a scientific paper of the most sophisticated type…a bigger term than
monograph or review.” The new publication was proposed as “a new venture by our
Society. It will not perform any function now performed. It will have no captive audience
of subscribers. It will not be supported by dues. It must earn its own keep. It must,
therefore, have a tight business structure of its own…published by a new corporation, a
wholly owned subsidiary non-profit corporation of the A.P.S. corporation…[to] assure
(1) that possible bankruptcy is not chargeable to the parent corporation; (2) that the
corporation structure will be as tight as need be to organize and operate it.”
Obviously, this proposed publication was not approved. It would be interesting to know
the discussions that followed, because this special committee left Biloxi renamed the
Special Committee for Annual Reviews, chaired by Horsfall. The vision that was outlined
in their report would carry over to the new Annual Review of Phytopathology; Volume 1
was published just two years later, with James G. Horsfall as the founding editor.
The Golden Jubilee Volume
Unquestionably, the Golden Jubilee meeting was the most scientifically significant and
Society-defining accomplishment of APS in its first 50 years. Fittingly, the concurrent
publication of Plant Pathology Problems and Progress 1908–1958 (21) added enormously
to the confidence and vision of APS as a leader within the scientific community and to
its commitment to scientific excellence.
Glen Pound, as chair of the program committee, wrote to C. S. Holton, chair of the
editorial committee, on December 4, 1957: “When writing to each author, I hope
you will remind them that the committee wants their paper to be more than a treatise
of their own research…Their papers…should constitute a review of past work as well
as an appraisal of problems ahead….we solicit their best efforts to make their paper
absolutely tops.” On January 10, 1958, in a memo to the 50th Anniversary Committee,
Pound suggested the title “Plant Pathology—Problems and Progress, 1958.” D. E. Ellis
at North Carolina State, a member of the committee, wrote back four days later saying
that “if a date is used in the title, both ‘1908 and 1958’ should be included.” Thus the
14
title became Plant Pathology—Problems and Progress, 1908–1958. While not completed
until December, and published in 1959, the volume went on sale before the meeting,
advertised as a “1000 Page Volume” and “The Most Significant Publication in the
History of Plant Pathology” at a prepublication price for members of $8.50, $7.50
if ordered before July 1, 1958.
W. C. Snyder, one of seven members of the Golden Jubilee organizing committee and
a member of the first editorial committee of Annual Review of
Phytopathology, was also APS representative to the Agricultural
Research Institute, Division of Biology and Agriculture,
National Academy of Sciences–National Research
Council (NRC). In this latter position, he obtained
NRC sponsorship, and then funding from NRC, USDA
Agricultural Research Service (ARS), and the National
Science Foundation, for an international symposium
on “Factors Determining the Behavior of Plant Pathogens in
Soil.” This seminal symposium, which Snyder cochaired with
K. F. Baker, was convened at the University of California,
Berkeley, in April 1963. From this meeting came still another
landmark comprehensive scientific review, patterned after the
Golden Jubilee volume and published as Ecology of Soil-borne
Plant Pathogens: Prelude to Biological Control (4). This book
remains perhaps the all-time best base reference book on the
ecology and control of soilborne plant pathogens.

APS Branches Out with the Compendium Series
Having joined in partnership with the AACC, with Ray
Tarleton as executive vice president, APS was set to enter the larger
world of publishing. It started with publication of the Compendium of Corn Diseases in
1973. Tarleton recalled in personal correspondence that “Mal Shurtleff had written the
manuscript as part of a grant he received. He had a choice of having his university publish
it or that APS might benefit from its publication. He asked me quite frankly if staff was
up to the job. I assured him that staff had been publishing AACC hard copy monographs
for a number of years. So that was the start. He gave us the manuscript, did the editing
and funding from his grant. Success with the compendium series established our ability as
publishers in our field and the rest followed.”

Announcement and
promotion of the
forthcoming volume
published with the title,
Plant Pathology Problems
and Progress 1908–1958
(21), representing the
proceedings of the Golden
Jubilee scientific program.
The compendium series is the most successful nonjournal business undertaking in the
history of the Society. As of this writing, APS PRESS offers 50 diagnostic compendia of
diseases and pests by plant or crop, including 11 in Spanish. While there are no data on
sales of the first edition of the corn compendium, 36,493 copies of the second and third
editions had been sold as of June 30, 2007, and the total for all three editions has been
estimated at more than 40,000 copies. The total number of all compendia sold as of that
date is 405,590, not including the pioneering first edition of the corn compendium.
Plant Disease—The Long-Desired Second Journal
Discussions of the need for a second journal go back at least 50 years, motivated in
large part by complaints from members doing applied research that Phytopathology
was not meeting their needs. My own files from my service on a Special Projects
Committee appointed by President Arthur Kelman in 1967 with the charge “to take
a broad view of existing projects and sharpen focus on areas in need of further project
strength” show that a second journal for applied research was one of the committee’s key
recommendations. President James Tammen in 1975 appointed a committee to study
the feasibility of publishing a second journal. While there seems to be no record of a
report from this committee in the APS Proceedings, their service coincidentally would
be preempted that same year by the announcement from USDA-ARS that Plant Disease
Reporter (PDR), started in 1917, would be discontinued as part of a budget cut.
The initial response of Council under President Durward Bateman to the USDA
announcement was to save PDR as an ARS publication. This response quickly gave
15
way to the idea that APS might take on PDR as the long-desired second journal of the
Society for publication of applied research. As Tarleton recalls it, “When Ed [Kendrick,
then high in USDA administration] alerted the APS officers that the department was
really serious about dropping Plant Disease Reporter, discussions were held by APS
officers to determine if we could or should take it over. Most opinions

expressed the need for this type of information and APS should try
and assume the publishing role. The key element was money and Ed
Kendrick was in a position to do something about this. Ed organized
a grant [from USDA-ARS] to provide APS with starting money. Also,
staff was asked if physically we could edit and publish another monthly
journal—the answer was yes if we could beef up our editorial staff. This
was accomplished along with a major design change orchestrated by
an APS committee and staff.” That grant turned out to be $236,000
provided in two installments.
President Jack Schafer appointed a committee in November 1978 at
the annual meeting in Tucson, with me as the chair, and charged us to
design or redesign and launch this new, yet ongoing journal. Three new
sections—an editorial page, Features, and a Focus page on the latest in
plant pathology published in other journals—were added in addition
to the research articles. The name was changed to Plant Disease as the
appropriate applied counterpart to Phytopathology, but the PDR volume
numbers were continued, starting with Volume 64 in January 1980.
In fact, and a testimony to the outstanding professional staff led by Tarleton, the first
issue dated January 1980 was actually published in July 1979, only seven months after
the decision by Council to assume publication of this journal. This allowed the Society
six months to market a journal that would no longer be free. Twenty thousand copies
of the premier issue were mailed in July 1979 to members, libraries, and other potential
subscribers to promote the revamped publication. At the 1979 annual meeting, Plant
Disease was approved by the APS members as an official journal of the Society, with
Malcolm Shurtleff as the first editor-in-chief.

Cover of the first issue of Plant
Disease, formerly Plant Disease
Reporter (PDR) published by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
starting starting with Volume 1
in 1917 through Volume 63 in
1979, and then as an official
monthly journal of the American
Phytopathological Society starting
with Volume 64 in 1980. This
January 1980 issue of Plant
Disease was actually published
in July 1979 and mailed to some
20,000 potential subscribers as
part of a promotion of this journal
that would no longer be free.
Two years later, in 1982, having taken note of and inquired into APS’s experience in
assuming responsibility for Plant Disease, the British Society for Plant Pathology (BSPP)
similarly took over and redesigned the journal Plant Pathology, published for the previous
30 years (1952–1981) by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF).
As in the transition from PDR to Plant Disease, volume numbers of Plant Pathology were
continued uninterrupted when publication shifted from MAFF to BSPP.
More Notable Books
Another step in the evolution of APS as a publishing house came when the Society
hosted the Second International Congress of Plant Pathology (ICPP) in Minneapolis
in September 1973. The third international symposium on soilborne plant pathogens
was held as part of this second meeting of the ICPP. Proceedings from the first two
symposia on soilborne pathogens had been published by the University of California
Press. As chair of the program on soilborne pathogens for the second ICPP, I approached
Ray Tarleton about the possibility of APS publishing these proceedings. The result was
apparently the first hardcover book published by APS, Biology and Control of Soil-Borne
Plant Pathogens (9), published in 1975.
When Freeman and Company of San Francisco informed Ken Baker and me that our
1974 book, Biological Control of Plant Pathogens (3), was out of print and would not
be reprinted, Tarleton, with our concurrence, obtained permission for APS to produce
a second printing in 1982. Meanwhile, Baker and I were well along with our second
book (14), and since APS had reprinted our first book, it was a natural decision to have
them publish this second one as well. That same year (1983), APS also published the
volume planned by the Diamond Jubilee Committee, chaired by S. H. Smith, entitled
Challenging Problems in Plant Health (26). APS further agreed to publish the proceedings
16
of the fifth international symposium on soilborne plant pathogens held in 1983 as part
of the fourth ICPP in Melbourne, Australia (34).
At the 1983 Diamond Jubilee meeting of APS held in Ames, Publications Coordinator
Thor Kommedahl reported that of 14 new book titles that had been budgeted for
income, six had been published, four were in progress, and four had been canceled.
Concurrently at that meeting, Council approved replacement of the publications
coordinator position, itself an outgrowth of the 1960 Publications [super] Committee,
with a Publications Board for nonjournal publications, independent of Phytopathology,
Plant Disease, and Phytopathology News, with George Agrios as editor-in-chief. Thus, the
stage was set for the creation of APS PRESS.
Formation of APS PRESS
One of my first formal actions as APS president following the 1983 meeting in Ames—
in fact, even before the end of the meeting—was to appoint an ad hoc committee chaired
by A. R. Weinhold to review the APS committee structure for nonjournal publications
and recommend a more simplified structure that would also provide quality control. The
need to take a fresh look at the APS infrastructure for nonjournal publications came up
in a conversation I had with Ray Tarleton and Steve Nelson during our car ride from St.
Paul to Ames to the 75th anniversary meeting of the Society. APS had evolved a complex
structure of committees to guide it in selecting and publishing its growing number
and variety of publications, including the Phytopathological Classics Committee,
Phytopathological Monographs and Reviews Committee, Disease Compendium
Committee, Books Committee, and Publications Coordinating Committee. Yet the
manuscript Baker and I had submitted for our second book was never actually reviewed
by any member of the Books Committee (although we had obtained our own external
reviews before submitting the manuscript).
At the 1984 annual meeting on the campus of the University of Guelph in Ontario,
Council approved the establishment of APS PRESS, with George Agrios as the first
editor-in-chief. APS PRESS, with an editor-in-chief and associate editors, thus assumed
a role equivalent to that of the editorial boards of Phytopathology and Plant Disease,
including a position on Council for the editor-in-chief. All other committees were either
discontinued, and their duties assumed by APS PRESS, or reorganized to be under
the auspices of APS PRESS. Two years later, the Committee on Illustrations of Plant
Pathogens and Diseases was similarly moved to become a committee under APS PRESS,
with continuing responsibility for the production of marketable sets of slides and other
illustrations.
The expansion of the Society’s in-house publication capability as APS PRESS was
justified primarily as a service to members, both in publishing books authored by
members and in providing books to members at a time when commercial scientific
publishing houses had all but abandoned the individual book buyer by targeting library
sales through extremely high pricing strategies. APS PRESS provided books at reasonable
prices, often because the member-authors declined to accept royalties. Including
compendia and four titles in the Plant Health Management series launched in 1991 with
the publication of Wheat Health Management (16), more than 200 titles are available
from APS PRESS as of this writing, generating income for fiscal year 2007 of $854,064,
representing 18% of the annual income of the Society. Other productions include a large
collection of slide sets and other teaching materials, and a CD-ROM collection that
includes the proceedings of APS meetings starting with 2003. Because of the growth
in the number of titles and the need to improve service to customers worldwide, APS
PRESS opened an office in Europe in 1996.
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
The next (third) major journal taken on by the Society was Molecular Plant-Microbe
Interactions (MPMI). MPMI was launched in 1987 as a new journal shared with the
International Society for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions (IS-MPMI) and was
17
sponsored initially by APS PRESS. George Bruening was appointed as the first editorin-chief. Two years later, at the annual meeting in Richmond, Council approved offering
MPMI as a journal option for members, appointed Luis Sequeira to succeed Bruening as
editor-in-chief, and added the MPMI editor-in-chief as a member of Council. Sequeira
as president of APS in 1986 had appointed an ad hoc committee to review the need and
opportunity for a new journal. He was also a member of IS-MPMI and took the lead in
obtaining the agreement that MPMI would serve as an official journal of both IS-MPMI
and APS.
As a relatively new scientific society, IS-MPMI had few resources to start a journal. APS,
with its publication infrastructure and healthy financial status, thus underwrote essentially
all of the start-up costs for MPMI, including the design, production, promotion,
marketing, and distribution. This was a strategic investment on the forefront of molecular
plant pathology as an emerging field of science, and it addressed the

need for APS to provide young scientists with another reason to join
the Society. Sharing this journal also headed off the possibility that ISMPMI might find another way to start a competing journal. However,
while editorial and financial responsibilities for MPMI were transferred
to and assumed by a joint committee of APS and IS-MPMI in 1990,
it was not until 1992 that an agreement on sharing of revenue was
reached, when the IS-MPMI Executive Committee accepted an offer of
royalty payments from APS based on the number of personal and library
subscriptions to the journal.
Electronic and Online Publications
By the early 1990s, it was clear that to remain competitive as a
publishing house, APS would need to make a successful transition
from providing exclusively hard-copy journals and books sent through
the mail and stored on shelves to embrace entirely electronic methods
of journal and book production, dissemination, and storage. With
nearly 80% of Society income dependent on the sale of books and
journal subscriptions, the financial implications of this transition had
to be faced and managed realistically. APS staff under the leadership of Ray Tarleton
had, during the 1980s, made sure that APS publication practices took advantage of
the savings and efficiencies offered by the latest technologies in word processing and
desktop publishing by continually updating the in-house computers and software
(27). This strategy of APS as an “early adopter” of electronic publishing, the skills of a
dedicated APS staff, and the leadership and hard work of a few visionary members of the
Society have been key to the success of APS in its transition to online publications and
communications.

Molecular Plant-Microbe
Interactions (MPMI),
launched in 1987 as a new
journal of the American
Phytopathological Society shared
with the International Society
for Molecular Plant-Microbe
Interactions. MPMI was sponsored
initially by APS PRESS and
then became a journal option for
members of APS in 1989.
18
In 1992, Council appointed an ad hoc committee, called the Electronic Technology
Committee, chaired by Larry Moore at Oregon State University “to aid staff in
identifying the best technology for use at headquarters.” This led, in 1994, to the
launch of the highly successful APSnet which was introduced to the membership at
the 86th annual meeting in Albuquerque. One outgrowth of this effort was a decision
to convert to all-electronic handling of Plant Disease Notes. In 1993, J.D. MacDonald
was appointed the first assigning editor of the Notes and charged with developing the
procedures for e-mail-based submission, review, editing and final acceptance…a mission
that was a challenge when e-mail was still in its infancy. As the number of electronic
initiatives grew, President Sue Tolin, in 1995, repositioned the ad hoc committee,
forming instead a standing committee of the society, called the Electronic Technology
Advisory Committee (ETAC) and chaired by MacDonald. The ETAC was charged to
“advise Council, journal editors and APS staff of opportunities to better serve members
through electronic communications/publications.” Again, in 1997, as the number of
initiatives and policy complexities continued to expand, Council approved a further
reorganization that created the Office of Electronic Communications (OEC) with
MacDonald as the first director, and ETAC became a committee under OEC.
The first online electronic symposium held on APSnet was in 1996 on Karnal bunt;
it began on June 24 and continued for several weeks after the 1996 annual meeting
in Indianapolis. The following year, APS PRESS made its online debut with “Lessons
in Plant Pathology” and the first online slide set, “Diseases, Pests, and Non-nutrient
Disorders of Sugar Cane.” Also in 1998, Gail Schumann and Jim MacDonald were
awarded the Media Award of Excellence from the National Association of Colleges and
Teachers of Agriculture for their 1996 effort to convert the Compendium of Turfgrass
Diseases into a CD-Rom product under the auspices of APS PRESS. By the end of
the 1990s, other professional agricultural scientific societies were looking to APS for
leadership in online publishing.
Introduction of Online Journals
APS launched two online peer-reviewed publications in 2000: Plant Health Progress
(PHP), with Tim Murray as its first editor-in-chief, and The Plant Health Instructor
(PHI), focusing on instructional materials and scholarship in teaching, with Editor-inChief Gail Schumann. PHP also then became the founding publication for the online
Plant Management Network (PMN), developed in partnership with the American
Society of Agronomy and the Crop Science Society of America, and in cooperation with
the Entomological Society of America, the Society of Nematologists, the Weed Science
Society of America, and other related societies. This is another example of APS working
with its peer group of professional scientific societies.
As noted above, F & N (Fungicide and Nematicide Tests) was assumed as an annual
publication of the Society starting in 1957. In 1985, APS launched B & C (Biological
and Cultural Tests) for reports relating to nonchemical methods of plant disease
management, including biological control products, resistant varieties, and cultural
practices; the first volume appeared in early 1986, and John Hartman was the first editor.
Starting in 2002, both F & N and B & C were added as online publications of the
newly formed PMN, and archives of the 2000–2006 volumes of F & N and 2001–2006
volumes of B & C are now accessible online through PMN. In 2007, F & N and B & C
were merged into the single Plant Disease Management Reports (PDMR), with D. S. Egel
as editor-in-chief. PDMR is now online through PMN.
Publications infrastructure and services have continued to be a priority with APS. For
example, a new web page, APSnet III, went online during the summer of 2000; the
APSnet Education Center, aimed at elementary and high school teachers, also launched
in 2000; APS News Capsules started in 1997; and Web-based journal submissions
and manuscript tracking became possible in 2004. After declining an invitation from
Science in 2002 to participate in a PubMed Central program that provides free access to
publications starting 6 months after publication, APS joined the program as of April
2005, making all of its journals available free online through PubMed Central but with
a two-year delay. Starting in 2005, APS contracted with the University of Wisconsin to
scan all back issues of Phytopathology, Plant Disease, and MPMI and to make them freely
available on the worldwide web.
As of this 100-year celebration, the APS Publications Board consists of a chair; the
editors-in-chief of Phytopathology, Plant Disease, MPMI, APS PRESS, Phytopathology
News, Plant Health Progress, Plant Health Instructor and APSnet Education Center,
and Plant Disease Management Reports; and the director of the Office of Electronic
Communications.

Public Perception of APS—and of Plant Pathologists
Although I find
a lot of sentiment
expressed in these letters
for a change in name for
the Society and for the
name American Society
of Plant Pathologists
which I myself prefer, I
do not believe that there
is sufficient majority of
opinion to warrant our
going any further with
this problem at the
present time.
– G. W. Fisher, 1952
Probably no single “nonissue” has occupied more of the time of the APS leadership over
the decades than the Society’s public image, or rather its lack thereof. I recall well the
exchange of correspondence among my fellow members of the New [Special] Projects
Committee, concluding that APS had no public image and needed to do something
about it. One of the earliest and most sensible and successful attempts to get more
visibility with the public focused on news releases to the popular media based on papers
presented at the annual meetings. In 1976, for example, the APS Public Relations
Committee, cochaired by Sam Smith and Bob Toler, reported to Council that “fifty two
stories had been written concerning the annual meeting at the time of their presentation”
and that “eighty newspapers were carrying stories concerning the annual APS meeting.”
However, no effort to improve—or create—an image for the Society was more
controversial, or historically more interesting, than the attempts to change its name.
First Attempt to Change the Society’s Name
The first formal attempt to change the name of APS was in 1951 when Council,
following a motion by George W. Fischer at the business meeting in Cincinnati,
appointed Fischer, C. W. Tucker, and James G. Horsfall to a temporary committee, with
Horsfall as chair, “to ascertain the opinion of the members of the Society to changing the
name of the Society to one more easily understood by the public.”
A “Dear Friends” form letter dated March 7, 1952, was sent to all plant pathology
departments “to obtain a sample of opinion.” The letter clarified that “any name finally
proposed by the committee will be presented to the Society, of course, for ballot vote.”
The letter included a long list of reasons to change the name and three reasons against
a new name. Among the familiar arguments in favor of changing the name were these
variations on a theme: the name is not understood by the general public; the window
in the world can see through plant pathology easier than through phytopathology; and
a member seldom if ever says, when asked his profession, “I am a phytopathologist.”
Reasons not to change included the fact that “phytopathology” describes the profession
in one word and the argument that “any learned society wants a dignified name—the
name plant pathology has dignity, but perhaps phytopathology is higher on the scientific
snob scale”; it “sounds scientific.”
The alternative names proposed by this committee were the American Society of Plant
Pathologists, Society of American Plant Pathologists, American Society for the Study
of Plant Diseases, and American Society of Plant Doctors. The committee emphasized
that the name of the journal was not under discussion. While the committee was only
asking for a straw poll, the responses reflected a misunderstanding on the part of some
who believed that the name was going to be changed and that they had no voice in that
decision. Fischer summarized the responses in a letter to Horsfall dated May 1, 1952:
“Although I find a lot of sentiment expressed in these letters for a change in name for the
Society and for the name American Society of Plant Pathologists which I myself prefer, I
do not believe that there is sufficient majority of opinion to warrant our going any further
with this problem at the present time.” Horsfall replied a week later: “I will write to
Council today, recommending that the subject be brought up for discussion at the Ithaca
[venue of the 1952 annual] meeting. I quite agree…that the timing is still not right to do
anything about it with the membership until they have had more chance to think it over.”
Second and Third Attempts to Change the Name
About 15 years later, Council decided to revisit this issue at the 1968 annual meeting
held on the campus of Ohio State University. A. W. Dimmock, APS president following
that meeting, wrote to Secretary George Zentmyer on November 21, 1968, with the
opening: “Bravo! I think you will find that you are far from alone in your opposition to
changing the name of our Society.” Dimmock went on to say, “I, too, find it a little hard
to believe that changing the name, no matter how far down the ladder we go, will have
20
much effect on the public image of plant pathologists.” Dimmock, who had missed the
1968 annual meeting and only learned of the renewed discussion of a name change in
the Council minutes, wrote further in his letter to Zentmyer that “I assumed, perhaps
incorrectly, that the general sentiment was for a change, in which event I [as President]
should not actively oppose it,” but he allowed that “if there is a name change, I will
never voluntarily accede to anything farther down than ‘The American Society of Plant
Pathology.’” Coincidentally, a Constitution Revision Committee was also at work at
the time, chaired by Zentmyer, presenting the obvious opportunity or responsibility
to include the new name as part of any revision should the change be approved by
the members. In a letter to Zentmyer dated December 5, 1968, Dimmock agreed to
consider the question of a name change for the Society but recommended that it be kept
separate from the issue of a revised constitution, because “the matter of a name change is
too controversial to be mixed with the constitution revision.”
These early exchanges between Dimmock and Zentmyer were followed by nearly
five years of discussions and letter exchanges before the issue was put to a vote of the
members at the business meeting in 1972 in Mexico City. Two examples of the exchanges
will suffice to illustrate the humor and honesty expressed in the opposing opinions.
George Hepting, then councilor-at-large, wrote to Secretary Zentmyer on November 19,
1968, supporting a name change; after referring to the American Medical Association,
the American Bankers Association, and the American Architects Institute, he remarked,
“Apparently they resisted the urge to translate their names into Latin. I wish we had.”
S. E. A. McCallan wrote to Dimmock on December 9, 1969: “Our Society might try to
reduce our lingo to four letter words, but we would still have problems. Any man in the
street knows what rust and smut is. The first is bad for machinery. A lot of the second is
bad, but a little adds spice to a joke.”
In 1971, President Joe Fulton asked immediate past president Thor Kommedahl to chair
an ad hoc Committee on the Name Change. Others on the committee were D. E. Ellis,
R. J. Green, Ray Tarleton, and Zentmyer. A poll of the membership revealed that if the
name were changed, the preference was decidedly in favor of the American Society of
Plant Pathologists. Curiously, the committee’s report referred in one place to “American
Society of Plant Pathologists” and in another place to “The American Society of Plant
Pathologists.” This inconsistency was resolved in the final wording of a resolution to
change Article I of the Articles of Incorporation to read “The name of the body corporate
is American Society of Plant Pathologists.” The resolution was defeated.
Those who were members of the Society during this period will likely remember
Zentmyer’s article “Why Change the Society’s Name???” in which he so passionately
argued against the change. Calling the notion that changing the name would increase
our public image “unadulterated nonsense!” he wrote that “People with whom I have
dealt in government, local citizenry, the press, and the farmer don’t care one iota what we
call ourselves. What we do to make our science meaningful and useful is what matters to
them and what should matter to us.”
People with whom
I have dealt in
government, local
citizenry, the press, and
the farmer don’t care
one iota what we call
ourselves. What we do
to make our science
meaningful and useful
is what matters to them
and what should matter
to us.
– G. Zentmyer, 1971
Nevertheless, five years later, the proposal was back, this time for consideration at the
1977 meeting held at Michigan State University. The proposal presented to the members
at the 1977 general business meeting was to amend Article 1 of the constitution to read
“the American Society for Plant Pathology” in place of “The American Phytopathological
Society.” About half of the members voted for the change, but since a constitutional
change requires 75% affirmative, the motion failed again.
21
National Service and Outreach
APS has a particularly rich history of responding to national needs, the most recent
example being its leadership within the scientific community since September 11,
2001, in providing science-based advice to both the executive and legislative branches
of the federal government regarding the identification and management of the risks to
U.S. agriculture of plant pathogens used as agents of bioterrorism. However, probably
no responses were undertaken with a greater sense of purpose and urgency than the
formation and work of the War Emergency Board during World War I, starting about
10 years after the Society was formed (10), and of the

War Emergency Committee of APS during World War II.
The goal in both cases was to help assure the nation’s food
security.

are especially apparent in the minutes of a special threeday meeting held in Washington, DC, February 9-11,
1918, which were published in Science (29). The board’s
goals were to mobilize the nation’s plant pathologists
“in order that we might have as complete a consensus
as possible of all persons able to carry on pathological
work during the coming season” and “to stimulate a more
concentrated and correlated attack upon certain important
diseases through the established state and federal
channels.” Commissioners present at the 1918 meeting
included H. H. Whetzel (chair), Cornell University;
F. D. Kern, Pennsylvania State College; E. C. Stakman,
University of Minnesota; H. P. Barass, Oregon State College of Agriculture; H. W. Barre,
Clemson College; and G. R. Lyman (secretary), USDA Bureau of Plant Industry. Others
attending the meeting were M. T. Cook, New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station;
H. S. Fawcett of the Citrus Experiment Station in Riverside, CA; and virtually every
federal pathologist working in the Bureau of Plant Industry from time to time during
the three-day meeting. In this day when one can travel across the North American
continent in about five hours, it is hard to imagine what it must have been like for Barass
and Fawcett, for example, in the winter of 1918, to travel from Corvallis and Riverside,
respectively, to Washington and back by trains pulled by coal-burning locomotives.

The APS War Emergency
Board was formed in 1918
with the goal of ensuring the
food supply in the nation
would remain secure.

and G.H. Coones.
Sitting left to right:
W.A. McCubbin,
H.H. Whetzel, and
H.P. Barrus.
Capitalizing on “the spirit of cooperation which has been stimulated and developed by the
national emergency caused by the war,” the plan of action developed by the board was to
encompass “extension campaigns…decided by…pathologists of the various sections [of
the country] since these are in most cases regional problems and can not be wisely decided
by the Board for the country as a whole.” It also planned to increase “the supply of young
pathological workers,” including through “special war emergency short courses…with a
view to prepare the students for more effective work on the farms this coming season,”
and to intensify research on “problems of a distinctly emergency nature.” Two diseases
are mentioned specifically in the report as the targets of “cooperative research on a broad
scale:” smut of cereals, “since this loss can be prevented easily at a cost not exceeding 3
cents per acre for materials and labor”; and the eradication of common barberry, because
of its “link in the life history of stem rust of wheat in the upper Mississippi valley.” No
doubt, these two priorities reflected the influence of Stakman as the commissioner leading
the work on emergency research.
To better communicate its plan of action (note the goal of attracting some public
recognition), the board adopted resolutions prefaced with this statement: “never before
has there been such urgent need for control work in order that the food supply may
be increased, while at the same time the general application of control measures will
be rendered very difficult on account of the serious shortage of farm labor, making
22
it almost impossible for the farmer to undertake any work not absolutely essential.”
By publishing the minutes in Science rather than the Society’s own Phytopathology,
the members of the board clearly showed their desire for their work to be known to
the entire scientific community and not just among their own colleagues and fellow
members of APS. It is also noteworthy that they referred to themselves for purposes of
this report as “The War Emergency Board of American Plant Pathologists,” not of The
American Phytopathological Society. The board’s final action at this meeting was to lay
out plans for a publicity campaign “to get this information to the public,” emphasizing
that “pathologists should publish articles in newspapers and popular magazines and …
embrace every opportunity to deliver popular lectures on pathological subjects.” Thus
began the APS commitment to public education and outreach.
War Emergency Committee—and the First APS Position Statement
The War Emergency Committee of APS (WECAPS), formed in the fall of 1941, had
a much larger membership than the War Emergency Board some 25 years earlier, and
was organized around both regions and priority areas. E. C. Stakman, a key member of
the War Emergency Board, was chair of the WECAPS. The regional organization was
divided into the Northeastern, Middle Atlantic, Southern, Upper Mississippi Valley,
and Pacific Coast areas. The Canadian Phytopathological Society took up similar
functions and responsibilities and expanded the membership of the WECAPS with
representation from each province of Canada. Each region was represented by a chair
and at least one person from each state or province within that region. Some regions set
up subcommittees around the major crops grown in that region. Extension became a
major focus of the WECAPS, including on the Canadian side, to ensure that results were
not just being published in scientific journals and advancing the science but were also
being put into practice by farmers. A membership list provided by R. J. Haskell, senior
extension plant pathologist at USDA in Washington, DC, included 81 names, making
this one of the largest, perhaps the largest, APS committee ever formed.
In addition to the subcommittees formed around crops within some regions, the
parent group WECAPS was further organized into subcommittees focusing on Seed
Certification, Fungicides, Quarantine, Plant Disease Survey, Extension, and Members
at Large. Two actions initiated in 1942, the first by the Quarantine Subcommittee and
the second by the Fungicide Subcommittee, will serve to illustrate the roles played by the
WECAPS in addressing the nation’s wartime interests.
On February 21, 1942, the USDA Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, in a
letter from Senior Pathologist W. A. McCubbins to E. C. Stakman, expressed concern that
“the stress of war conditions will develop a tendency to disregard and impatiently override plant quarantine restrictions as safeguards as matters of trivial present importance.”
In response to this letter, WECAPS produced the first policy statement provided to the
federal government by APS:
The War Emergency Board of The American Phytopathological Society
emphasizes the permanent national value of the plant quarantine system
designed to exclude or to limit the spread of injurious foreign insects and
diseases, and urges that this protection be maintained intact in its essentials in
war, as well as peace.
The Board believes that when war emergency needs and quarantine protection
are considered realistically together in true perspective, it will be apparent to
all State and Federal officials or agencies having directive, judicial, or advisory
relations to foreign plant importations, that injurious foreign pests may be
potentially as dangerous as human enemies, particularly since their work of
destruction is likely to go on forever after they become established here; that
it does not seem wise to jeopardize the welfare of this country for countless
generations to come by temporary abandonment or weakening of vital
quarantine safeguards; that modifications in those plant quarantine procedures
23
which involve no actual pest risk features can and should be made when
necessary to meet national emergency needs; but that essential features of plant
quarantine procedure intimately concerned with specific diseases or insect risks
should continue to be faithfully observed.
That same month, in a memorandum dated March 16, 1942, R. J. Haskell alerted the
nation’s “Extension Specialists in Plant Pathology and Horticulture” to the concern over
meeting the needs of agriculture for spray materials and seed disinfectants and informed
them of his success in “obtaining a recognition of the importance of fungicides in food
production and in insuring a reasonable supply of materials for producing this year’s
crops.” His memo went on to state that his office had “requested Dr. J. G. Horsfall,
plant pathologist at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station…to furnish a
statement on ‘stretching’ spray materials and disinfectants.” Horsfall, as chair of the
WECAPS Fungicide Subcommittee, with members S. E. A. McCallan, J. G. Leach, and
M. B. Moore, made a list of 23 materials with possibilities as substitutes for currently
used fungicides, identified “equipment priorities” regarding dusting and spraying
machinery, and recommended careful attention to correct diagnosis in order to eliminate
unnecessary treatments. In a memorandum to the wider WECAPS, addressed to
“Pathologists in Charge” and dated March 20, 1942, Horsfall with his classic flair wrote:
Gentlemen: It is interesting that war on our enemies and war on fungi demand
almost identical munitions. Since present facilities cannot supply the total
required, some compromises need to be derived. No one would want the
primary war effort to suffer. Clearly then, we who must deal with food supplies
and the fungicides to protect them face an inescapable situation of scarcity of
material that we formerly accepted as plentiful.
The memo goes on to project likely shortages and outline the subcommittee’s
recommendations.
This subcommittee was also asked by the U.S. War Food Administration in early 1942
to study proposed revisions of the Federal Insecticide Act. The subcommittee completed
its study and proposed revisions of the Act. This may have been the first of many times
that APS has been requested to provide input or has voluntarily responded to proposed
legislation and policy initiatives of the federal government.
National Service During the Cold War and Vietnam War Eras
In a spirit of national service and cooperation similar to that characterizing the
establishment of the War Emergency Board and the War Emergency Committee, and
later the response to September 11, 2001, the Society organized an effort during the
1960s to aid the U.S. Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization in its responsibility for
the protection of crops against biological and chemical warfare and the protection of
agricultural resources from radioactive fallout. The Temporary Committee for Aiding
the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization, chaired by Axel Andersen, was appointed
for this purpose. The committee’s 1961 “Report to the President of The American
Phytopathological Society on the Role that the Society Might Play in Aiding Civil
Defense” opens with this statement: “The committee has endeavored to compile ideas
and reactions regarding the role that The American Phytopathological Society might play
in aiding civil defense by contacting several members of the society in the various parts
of the United States including individuals that are already actively engaged in projects
involving both the offensive and defensive aspects of biological warfare on plants.”
In the course of its investigations, the committee learned and reported that the USDA
Agricultural Research Service had been given broad responsibility for programs for
the “control or eradication of diseases, pests, or chemicals introduced as agents of
biological or chemical warfare against animals, crops or products.” The report goes on:
“Thus it appears…that the United States Department of Agriculture already has a wellestablished program in operation. This, however, is unknown to many members of The
24
American Phytopathological Society….Dr. Rodenheiser has made the suggestion that our
committee ‘review the whole field of responsibility’…in a session at one of our national
meetings. The committee and others believe that…this report should be brought to
the attention of A.P.S. members as soon as possible, preferably at the Biloxi meetings in
December [1961].”
In 1962, the temporary committee became the Special Committee for Coordination
with Office of Defense Mobilization, chaired by John Mitchell. Apparently looking to
serve the nation in other ways, this committee reported that “7 important organizations
were notified of the appointment of this special committee on defense,” including “9
military agencies” on “utilization of plant pathologists in military service.” The name of
the committee was changed in 1963 to the Committee on Coordination with Office of
Civil Defense, still chaired by Mitchell. Referring to a resolution that had been passed at
the Biloxi meetings on the need for a “Plant Disease Detection and Reporting System in
the U.S,” the committee’s 1963 report stated that “Resolutions as such have little value
in matters such as these and that vigorous action on the part of all pathologists in general
will be required if the objectives of the Resolution are to be effected.” The committee
recommended a joint meeting with the Committee on Regulatory Work and Foreign
Plant Diseases “to consider what action is to be taken and the responsibilities for initiating
such action.”
The appointment of this committee was allowed to expire with the 1963 report, but
was reactivated in 1968, during the Vietnam War, as the Committee on Utilization of
Personnel in the Armed Forces. J. E. Mitchell was reappointed as chair. The committee
reported in 1969 that “the possibility that plant pathology students being drafted will
be assigned to some activity utilizing their training is, at present, remote. The Army
Biological Laboratories at Fort Detrick…are not able to request personnel by name
and…openings are filled by the first biologists whose card passes through the computer.”
The report continued, “there is no evidence that [men who are inducted] are given
assignments commensurate with their training” and noted that “the number of men
affected has increased substantially in recent months as those reclassified during the
year were ordered to report for induction.” Having met with almost no success, this
committee, with Axel Andersen as chair, filed its final report in 1970.
The same year that the Committee on Utilization of Personnel in the Armed Forces was
discontinued, President D. E. Ellis appointed the ad hoc Committee for the Study of
Herbicide Effects in Vietnam, chaired by E. A. Curl and charged to work with the Soil
Microbiology Committee to “make recommendations with regard to the role of APS
in such a study.” The committee appointments were extended the following year by
President Thor Kommedahl as the Special Herbicide Study Committee with the charge
to “cooperate in an advisory capacity with the Herbicide Assessment Commission of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).” The purpose of the AAAS
effort was to formulate research objectives and procedures for a proposed long-range study
of herbicide effects on agriculture in the affected areas. In addition to the five-member
Special Herbicide Study Committee chaired by Curl, the APS effort in cooperation with
AAAS included an advisory panel of eight plant pathologists plus six members of the APS
executive committee as representatives. APS interest in the joint effort focused on possible
plant disease problems that might be related to the use of herbicides. AAAS had opposed
the use of herbicides in Vietnam. The ad hoc committee’s work was considered complete
as of June 1972, with the submission of an “extensive outline of suggested objectives and
procedures for use by the AAAS as reference in planning a plant pathological phase of
research as part of an overall program of integrated disciplines.”
Outreach to Biology Teachers and High School Students
An ongoing and outstanding example of national service and outreach, and another
positive contribution to the APS public image, was started during the 1960s with the
appointment of a Special Committee on American Biology Teacher, chaired by G. L.
McNew of Boyce Thompson Institute. This committee drew up a syllabus that outlined a
25
series of brief articles for a special issue of the American Biology Teacher, including articles
on the profession of plant pathology, causes of plant diseases, fluctuations in prevalence
of plant diseases, control of plant diseases, the plant pathologist’s role in agricultural
operations, and the place of plant pathology information in the curriculum of a high
school course in general biology. The 40+ manuscripts for this issue were completed in
1965 and published in 1967.
Five years later, Harlan Smith suggested in a letter to Potomac Division Councilor M. E.
Gallegly, dated March 24, 1972, that APS consider the need to work with youth. At the
Mexico City meeting, Council decided to ask plant pathology department heads whether
APS should establish a special committee on youth. In 1982, a group led by Walker
Miller wrote to Council requesting the appointment of an ad hoc committee on youth
programs in plant pathology. Council followed this recommendation and appointed
the Special Committee on Youth Programs in 1983, with Walker Miller as chair. The
committee, which became a standing committee in 1987, laid plans that would follow
the lead that the Special Committee on American Biology Teacher had started 20 years
earlier: to focus on integration of information on the science and practice of plant
pathology into curricula and on reading and teaching materials for high school biology
teaching and learning. In its 1985 report, the committee stated that it planned to “write
or coordinate the writing of articles for science teachers to be published in the American
Biology Teacher and Science of Food and Agriculture.”
Starting in 1991, the Public Relations and Youth Programs committees hosted the first
annual high school science student-teacher luncheon and tour of posters “for the purpose
of publicizing plant pathology.” The Youth Programs Committee has also sponsored
workshops for middle and high school biology teachers. One such workshop at the
1996 annual meeting in Indianapolis entitled “Plant Pathology for Middle and High
School Biology Teachers” included lectures on plant pathogens as useful tools in teaching
biological science and experiments that gave the participants hands-on experience.
Among the handouts, participants were given a copy of Learning Biology with Plant
Pathology, authored by committee member Juliet Carrol (13), as a joint effort of the
Youth Programs Committee and the National Association of Biology Teachers.
The Intersociety Consortium for Plant Protection (ISCPP)
APS had long considered the need for a “legislative committee” that would monitor
federal legislation and policy relevant to the science and practice of plant pathology. In
1976, for example, and based on concepts developed and provided by immediate past
president James Tammen, Council authorized the Public Responsibilities Committee with
responsibility for advising “the President of the Society upon legislation related to our
science and profession, and programs and policies of various government agencies.”
The first attempt of APS to have a structured “Washington presence” with direct and
personal involvement of APS officers also happened under the leadership of James
Tammen, during his term as president of APS in 1975. Tammen proposed in concept
an Intersociety Consortium for Plant Protection (ISCPP) with membership from APS,
the Entomological Society of America, the Weed Science Society of America, and the
Society of Nematologists. Council approved APS membership in the ISCPP in 1976. The
other three societies then followed suit. The representation from these societies consisted
of the officers, typically the president, president-elect, and immediate past president
or vice president. The position of chair of the ISCPP rotated among the four societies.
Meetings were held at a venue somewhere in Washington, DC, four times each year, with
invitations extended mainly to leaders within the executive branch (e.g., USDA, National
Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency [EPA]) to meet with ISCPP
at a specified time and place and with a specified agenda. The ISCPP representatives
also visited legislative and executive branch offices, identifying their organization as
representing more than 20,000 members nationally in the plant protection sciences.
In 1986, ISCPP sent a letter to EPA objecting to the restrictive interim policies on smallscale field tests of microbial biocontrol agents, arguing that genetically unaltered and
most genetically altered microbial biocontrol agents need not be regulated when tested in
26
small field trails. In 1987, ISCPP undertook sponsorship and funding of a Congressional
Science Fellow to function under the auspices of the AAAS Congressional Science Fellow
program and to serve for one year free of charge on the staff of a member of Congress or
legislative committee. Charles Delp was selected as the first and as it turned out the only
ISCPP Congressional Science Fellow. The Entomological Society of America decided
to withdraw from ISCPP in 1987, and at the 1989 annual meeting of APS, Council
decided that after two years of inactivity of the consortium, APS would also withdraw its
participation. And so ended the ISCPP.
The National Plant Pathology Board (now Public Policy Board)
The current APS presence in Washington through the Public Policy Board (PPB) traces
to the appointment of the National Plant Pathology Board (NPPB) by President George
Agrios in 1991. The idea to form this board originated with APS member Clifford
Gabriel, who was then working as a staff person in the Office of Science and Technology
(the White House science office). APS Council approved formation of the NPPB in
March 1991, with founding members R. James Cook, Clifford Gabriel, Arthur Kelman,
Luis Sequeira, Sue Tolin, and Anne Vidaver as chair. The purpose set forth was to “serve
as the liaison between The American Phytopathological Society and the various federal,
private, and public advocacy groups in Washington and elsewhere; to keep our Society
officers and membership informed of new proposals, regulations, legislation, or other
developments at the national level that might be of importance or of concern to our
Society and to our membership; to advise our Society officers on actions that need to be
taken on such matters; and, when a reply or action to any such matter is needed urgently,
to work with the President of our Society and to formulate and present such a reply or
take the necessary action on behalf of our Society.” In other words, the NPPB was given
almost free rein to serve and represent APS in public policy discussions and responses.
The accomplishments of the NPPB and subsequently the PPB at the federal level have
been profound. Among the early examples: The NPPB organized a briefing on “Microbial
Diversity” at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, which led to the
inclusion of the role of microorganisms in the prospective National Biological Survey
sponsored by the Department of the Interior. APS President William Fry represented the
Society in a congressional briefing in 1996 on “Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious
Diseases,” convened and moderated by NPPB chair Anne Vidaver. Also in 1996, the
NPPB prepared a fact sheet on Karnal bunt for distribution via APSnet and produced a
position statement on the “Use of Quarantines for Wheat Karnal Bunt” (Table 1) that
led to a policy change in how the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) responds to this pathogen. The board also provided comments on proposed
APHIS “procedures for dealing with transgenic plants” and developed a position paper in
1999 on “Biological Weapons” (Table 1) that was subsequently adopted by APS Council.

Response to the EPA “Proposed Rule on Plant Pesticides”
One of the most significant early undertakings of the NPPB was in response to an EPA
Proposed Rule to subject the commercial use of disease- and pest-resistance genes and
their products to approval under authority of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)
on the grounds that these are “substances or mixtures of substances intended for pest
control” and therefore meet the FIFRA definition of a pesticide. The NPPB members,
joined by APS members Roger Beachy and David Gilchrist, led a multisociety effort,
ultimately joined by 10 other professional scientific societies and representing 80,000
members, to provide alternatives to what became known as the EPA “Proposed Rule on
Plant Pesticides.” In addition to comments provided by APS as a Society, the 11-member
multisociety consortium, led by the Tri-Societies and the Institute of Food Technologists,
produced its own proposal under the title “Appropriate Oversight for Plants with
Inherited Traits for Resistance to Pests” (15). The NPPB then took the lead in producing
a “Decision Guide for EPA Review of Plants with Inherited Traits for Resistance to Pests.”
The Council on Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) produced a similar position
statement opposing the rule and especially use of the term “plant pesticide” for genes
and their products intended for disease and pest control. Arthur Kelman, representing
CAST, and I, representing the 11-member multisociety consortium, were each invited to
testify on the proposed EPA rule before the Risk Management, Research, and Specialty
Crops Subcommittee and the Department Operations, Oversight, Nutrition, and
Forestry Subcommittees of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture.
Although EPA’s authority for oversight of traits introduced for disease and pest control has
prevailed specifically for transgenic traits, the term “plant pesticide” was replaced in the
final rule with “plant-expressed protectant,” a term supported by the NPPB.
The Office of Public Affairs and Education (now Office of Public Relations
and Outreach)
In 1995 APS Council approved formation of the Office of Public Affairs and Education
(OPAE) to “focus and coordinate the many activities of our Society in public outreach.”
The OPAE mission statement reads: “The mission of the APS Office of Public Affairs and
Education would be to educate the public and work with other professional societies to
influence public policy.” Anne Vidaver, still serving as chair of the NPPB, was appointed
interim director of OPAE. Gary Bergstrom was appointed as the first director in 1996,
and the first advisory board to OPAE was appointed in 1997. To assure full coordination
and cooperation, OPAE Advisory Board members were assigned liaison responsibilities
with, respectively, the Office of Electronic Communications and the Extension, Youth
Programs, Industry, Sustaining Associates, Private Practice, and Teaching committees.
In addition, the chairs of the PPB and the Communications Committee, the APSnet
Feature Editor, and the APS President or her or his designee served on the OPAE
Advisory Board as ex officio voting members. In 2007, this office was renamed the Office
of Public Relations and Outreach.
The First (and Current) Paid Professional Consultant in Washington
In 1999, under the auspices of the OPAE, the NPPB raised a question that had been
raised many times in the history of APS: whether it was time that APS had a paid
professional “Washington presence.” Council turned down the request during its 2000
midyear meeting, but kept the question open for further study and then approved and
funded the proposal later that year. Eversole and Associates was hired on a part-time
basis to fulfill this role. The services of Eversole and Associates have taken the work of
the PPB and OPAE to a new level in advising the executive and legislative branches
of government on matters of federal funding for research, regulatory issues, and other
public policies and in alerting the Society to key bills in Congress and federal proposed
rules with implications for the science and practice of plant pathology.
APS Response Following 9-11-01
With the credibility and trust developed over the previous 10-year period as a result
of its interactions with the federal government, and with Eversole and Associates as
28
its “Washington presence,” APS was ideally positioned following the September 11,
2001, attacks to advise on strategies for protecting U.S. plant-based agriculture against
a possible bioterrorist attack. President Noel Keen appointed an ad hoc Bioterrorism
Committee in early 2002, which he asked me to chair. We produced a white paper in
February 2002 that the PPB used as a basis for both recommendations to the USDA
and a congressional briefing. This first white paper was followed by two more in October
2002 and May 2003, respectively, and all three were placed on APSnet.
Two key recommendations were that the United States needs 1) a distributed system of
diagnostic labs as first responders to any bioterrorist threat, and 2) a national laboratory
for plants that can provide many of the same services and national leadership currently
provided for human diseases by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The
first recommendation led within a year to construction of the National Plant Diagnostic
Network, administered under the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education, and
Extension Service (CSREES), with a target of spring 2004 to connect with diagnostic
labs in all 50 states (12). As a follow-up on the second recommendation, the PPB and
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security cosponsored a workshop in Washington,
DC, in July 2003 that brought together representatives of several government agencies
to discuss the need for and possible infrastructure for what has become known as a
National Center for Plant Biosecurity. The PPB on behalf of APS, and now with support
from the Entomological Society of America, Crop Science Society of America, American
Society of Agronomy, Society of Nematologists, and Council on Agricultural Science and
Technology, continues to advocate for this Center.
Legislation following the September 11 attacks included a requirement for the
development of a list of microbial agents, known as the “Select Agent List,” with
potential for use in a bioterrorist attack. Separate lists were required for agents affecting
humans, animals, and plants. The Select Agent List for Plants—initially a list of 13
plant pathogens—presented by the USDA-APHIS for discussion at the 2002 annual
meeting in Milwaukee included Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, P. striiformis, Phytophthora
infestans, and Magnaporthae griseus. Through continued review and discussions with the
PPB following this meeting, these four pathogens were removed from the list, thereby
avoiding for these common pathogens (as unnecessary) the stringent restrictions that
were specified by legislation for working with the pathogens on the Select Agent List.
Focus on Genome Sequencing
A major focus of the PPB during the past five years, one justified in part as a component
of biosecurity, has been obtaining support for genome sequencing of plant-associated
microorganisms and development of a process for generating a sequencing priority list.
This effort has been led by PPB members Jan Leach and Scott Gold. With funding
provided by USDA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy,
Leach and Gold organized and cochaired a workshop in April 2002 in Washington, DC,
on “Genomic Analysis of Plant-Associated Microbes.” This was followed with a white
paper on the topic issued in 2003. This effort, which spread an awareness among federal
funding agencies of the scientific and practical significance of the genomes of plant
pathogens and other plant-associated microorganisms, has been so successful that the
PPB has had to regularly replace species that have been sequenced with additional species
recommended through periodic surveys of the APS membership (20).
Affiliations
The most enduring effort of APS in looking outward beyond itself has been its tradition
of maintaining relationships through representatives to other scientific societies and
consortia. APS has maintained relations through representation to the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for its entire 100 years and met
jointly with AAAS for each of its first 33 years as a professional scientific society (32).
APS representation in the 1960s with the National Academy of Sciences and National
Research Council (NRC) through the Agricultural Research Institute (ARI) provided
the Society with some of its earliest opportunities for public service and outreach. The

Over the past year we
have dramatically
improved our relations
with sister societies in
agricultural sciences.
Through our efforts to
hold joint annual
meetings and our efforts
to publish an online
journal/magazine in
IPM, we have developed
much stronger linkages to
professional organizations
in entomology, weed
science, nematology,
and mycology.
– L. Madden, 1997
ARI has since been replaced by the NRC Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources
(BANR), whose members are now appointed by the NRC for three-year terms. O. W.
Barnett pointed out in his 1992 President’s Report that three of the 15 members of this
board were APS members that year. Other long-term relations through representatives
include the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), American Type Culture
Collection, Biological Stain Commission, International Society for Arboriculture, and
International Society for Plant Pathology.
APS joined and appointed its first representative to the Council of Agricultural Science
and Technology (CAST) in 1975. CAST is a not-for-profit organization headquartered
in Ames, IA, that strives to bring science-based information to “legislators, regulators,
policy makers, the media, the private sector and the public” (http://www.cast-science.org).
Starting in 1991, APS joined the Coalition on Funding Agricultural Research Missions
(CoFARM), a Washington-based coalition formed in 1990 with some 20 membersocieties representing the plant, animal, food, microbiological, and plant protection
sciences (http://www.cofarm.org/). While CAST focuses on communicating the best and
latest information in the agricultural sciences, CoFARM targets funding for agricultural
research. APS appoints a representative to CAST, usually for a three-year term, whereas
representation on CoFARM has usually fallen on one of the Society’s officers. APS has
also joined and appoints a representative to the Coalition for Education in the Life
Sciences, whose mission is to work with professional societies to strengthen undergraduate
education in the life sciences.
During the past 25 years APS has moved away from joint meetings with large umbrella
scientific societies, such as AAAS and AIBS, and meets instead with sister scientific
societies such as the Canadian Phytopathological Society, the Entomological Society of
America, the Mycological Society of America, and the Society of Nematologists. In his
1997 President’s Report, Larry Madden wrote: “Over the past year we have dramatically
improved our relations with sister societies in agricultural sciences. Through our efforts
to hold joint annual meetings and our efforts to publish an online journal/magazine
in IPM, we have developed much stronger linkages to professional organizations in
entomology, weed science, nematology, and mycology.”
International Service and Outreach
Beginning with the statement of purpose at that December 1908 organizational meeting
for an American plant pathology society held in Baltimore—“and that its influence may
be made of international importance”—and with the addition of “An International Journal”
to the name of Phytopathology in 1924, APS has aspired to extend its leadership, service,
and promotion of plant pathology globally. Outreach by the Society to the international
community of plant pathologists at the end of World War II through the newly formed
International Cooperation Committee chaired by E. C. Stakman was truly laudatory
(see below). Similarly, the program designed to celebrate the first 50 years of APS was
international in scope, with roughly a third of the 60 symposium talks presented by
speakers from outside the United States.
APS also played a mentoring if not leadership role in the formation of other professional
societies of plant pathology, including the Canadian Phytopathological Society in 1930,
following the formation of the Canadian Division of APS in 1918, the Caribbean
Division of APS in 1961, the Sociedad Mexicana de Fitopatología (James G. Harrar was
the first president) in 1967, and the International Society for Plant Pathology (ISPP)
in 1968. APS held its first annual meeting outside the borders of the United States in
Mexico City in 1972. Interestingly, APS met jointly with the ISPP and hosted the Second
International Congress of Plant Pathology in Minneapolis in 1973; met jointly with the
Canadian Phytopathological Society in Vancouver in 1974; and met jointly with and
played major leadership roles in the Ninth International Congress of Plant Protection in
Washington, DC, in 1979—four annual meetings in the 1970s highlighting international
cooperation.
30
Leadership through the International Cooperation Committee
Organized efforts on the part of APS to foster international cooperation go back at
least as far as 1943, with the establishment of the Committee on Reorganization of
International Cooperation. It was only natural that E. C. Stakman, as chair of the
War Emergency Committee of APS, would also be asked to serve as chair of this new
committee. The fact that the committee name referenced “reorganization” implies
that work toward international cooperation had been ongoing before 1943. The first
report of this committee in 1944 proposed three categories for sharing information
internationally: disease-resistant varieties; outbreaks of new or unusual diseases; and new
and improved methods and materials for plant disease control. The committee suggested
that this information where useful be published in Phytopathology to make it “generally
and promptly available.”
Starting in 1945 with the end of the war, the committee through Howard Barss, at that
time with the USDA Office of Experiment Stations, contacted the Agricultural Attaché
at the U.S. Embassy in Paris in an attempt to get information on plant pathologists
functioning in the “liberated countries.” In a letter to the committee dated May 29,
1945, Barss relayed the response, “that the situation in the liberated countries at the
present time was so confused with so many changes in the personnel set-up in official
circles and that those connected with our embassies were so frantically busy with the
relief situation that he would suggest waiting…about six months before approaching our
representatives with any request for information of this sort.” In fact, a list of contacts
was provided with the help of Barss by early 1946; referred to as “a preliminary list only,”
it included one name each in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Holland,
Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, and Peru. Presumably with this list of names
and more added, the 1946 report of the Committee on International

Cooperation states that “to help our foreign colleagues…the 1946
Summary of Nationwide Tests with Newer Fungicides [was sent]
to leading plant pathologists in European countries,” and to the
same addresses, in August, through these countries’ embassies in
Washington, “a copy of the 1947 Summary (Plant Disease Reporter
Supplement 176) with the compliments of the Committee.”
While there is no record of any response from the international
community to these documents provided by the committee, nor was
a response expected, the sharing of the documents and especially their
timing make these gestures as significant and meaningful as anything
done for the international community of plant pathologists in the
100-year history of APS.
E. C. Stakman remained chair of the International Cooperation
Committee for 15 years—through 1958, when Frederick Wellman
took over. Stakman used this committee as one of his outreach platforms
while he traveled the world. In 1957, for example, he made trips to Pakistan, Lebanon,
Germany, and Mexico, where he “made particular effort to help facilitate rapid exchange
of literature and communications between organizations and individuals with common
interests.” He added in this committee report that “Steps have been taken also to bring
about closer collaboration with a number of phytopathologists in Germany, as relations
have not yet returned [to normal since the war].”

programs and service.
Possibly the single biggest accomplishment of the International Cooperation Committee
during its early years was the establishment of international nurseries for tests of varietal
resistance of crops to diseases, with a particular focus on tests in Latin America for
resistance of wheat varieties to rusts. This effort, started in 1957, was led by H. A.
Rodenheiser and facilitated by J. G. Harrar, by then Director of Agriculture for the
Rockefeller Foundation in Mexico. Norman Borlaug (7), in his response to his 2007
APS Award of Distinction, commented that following the 15B stem rust epidemic in
North America in the early 1950s, “Rodenheiser, USDA’s chief plant pathologist, set up
31
an international wheat rust nursery, first in 17 countries in the Americas, from Canada
to Argentina and Chile; later, it became a world testing organization.” Rodenheiser and
Harrar were both members of the International Cooperation Committee during these
years, Harrar since its founding in 1943.
Formation of the Caribbean Division
Starting in the 1960s, the International Cooperation Committee began to focus more
on cooperation with plant pathologists in the tropics of Central and South America.
Meanwhile, plant pathologists in Central America had been interested for some time in
forming an organization to serve as a working group for plant pathology in the tropics
and to link them to their U.S. counterparts. According to records maintained by José
Amador, B. H. Waite wrote a letter to D. H. Raddler of the United Fruit Company
on July 14, 1959, reporting the interest expressed at a recent meeting to establish a
“Section” of APS similar to the APS Divisions. Frederick L. Wellman, then chair of the
International Cooperation Committee, received a copy of this letter and discussed the
proposal with members of APS. The following year, Council approved the formation
of what was tentatively called a “tropical division” of APS at the annual meeting held in
Green Lake, WI. The name Caribbean Division was formally adopted at the first meeting
of this division, held jointly with the American Horticultural Society in Miami in 1961.
Wellman was elected as the first president.
International Distribution of APS Publications
Continuing efforts going back to the 1940s, the International Cooperation Committee
worked to facilitate improved communications among plant pathologists, arranging a
list of pathology societies worldwide (to be included in the 1963 APS directory being
planned), assembling resources such as slide sets and published material on tropical
plant diseases, preparing a list of Spanish-English common names of plant diseases and
a Spanish-English glossary of terms in plant pathology, and identifying “underfunded,
small international experiment stations which are not receiving Phytopathology.”
One recommendation was that Phytopathology be printed in languages in addition to
English. The Committee on Publications recommended against this proposal, stating
in their report at the Amherst meeting that “while we want to see APS and its program
become increasingly international in scope, it was our judgment that there are too many
inherent difficulties in this approach to make it very effective.…we would have few
takers and a potpourri from those responding.”
Efforts to bring APS journals and books to departments and research stations in
countries lacking foreign exchange or otherwise unable to afford these resources have
been continued under the auspices of the Office of International Programs (OIP). OIP
was formalized in 1986 to promote worldwide interaction among plant pathologists
and other scientists. In 2004, APS joined the TEEAL Initiative (The Essential Electronic
Agricultural Library) created to help agricultural scientists in developing countries
have access to journals in the agricultural sciences on CD-ROMs. Beginning with the
September 2004 release, Phytopathology, Plant Disease, and MPMI became three of the
more than 140 journals available on CD-ROMs through the TEEAL catalog of text and
images.
International Special Projects Committee
The International Special Projects Committee appointed by Kelman in 1967 reported
the following year that they had invited “other professional societies in the pest control
field…to cooperate with APS to ascertain the possibility of making a joint presentation
…to responsible government officials” regarding the danger of crop losses due to
plant pests or climatic conditions “if people in underdeveloped nations are to be fed.”
Curiously, there is little or no information on the outcome of this proposal or how
or whether this committee worked with the International Cooperation Committee.
Moreover, neither committee played a role on behalf of APS in either the First
International Congress of Plant Pathology (ICPP), held in 1968 in London (5), or the
32
formation during that congress of the International Society of Plant Pathology (ISPP).
Roy Young submitted proposals on behalf of APS to major funding agencies for funds
to “assist members in travel to the First International Congress of Plant Pathology,” and
Harold Flor in his 1968 Report of the President announced that the organizers of the
congress had asked APS to name five nominees to the Council of the newly formed ISPP.
Kelman was named one of two vice presidents of the new ISPP at the congress and went
on to become president of ISPP during the second ICCP, hosted by APS and held in
1973 on the campus of the University of Minnesota.
Participation in the Debate on World Population and the Food Supply
Probably the most significant role of the International Cooperation Committee in
formulation of APS policy was its sponsorship of the discussions initiated by William
Paddock in the all-society symposium, “The World Food-Population Confrontation—
Implications for Phytopathologists,” at the 1975 APS joint meeting with the Society
of Nematologists in Houston. What became known as the Paddock proposal (33),
challenged by John Niederhauser (41), was that plant pathologists not share or
otherwise provide information, expertise, or technology on plant disease control with
countries lacking a policy for control of their population growth. Ten years later, in what
apparently was its last contribution before being replaced by the Office of International
Programs, the International Cooperation Committee helped Council develop the
Society’s food and population resolution approved by the membership at the 1985
annual meeting in Reno (28). This resolution reads:
Recognizing that the continuing increase in the world’s population and the
concomitant need to increase food production and availability are major
problems confronting mankind, the APS reaffirms its commitment to
encourage plant health research and education, particularly in developing
countries. The APS urges its members to make available their knowledge
and expertise in plant disease control to countries affected by food shortages.
Further, the APS pledges to provide technical guidance and rapid transfer
of information to the international community and supports all efforts to
increase food supplies in developing countries. However, the APS further
recognizes that the earth has a finite carrying capacity for the human species,
and that improvements in agricultural technology cannot be expected to cope
indefinitely with the needs of constantly increasing populations.
The theme of the APS annual meeting in Orlando the following year was “International
Cooperation,” and the title of the plenary session introduced by President Luis Sequeira
was “Food and Population: A World Challenge to Plant Pathology.” Following this
plenary session, Charles Delp, Intersociety Consortium for Plant Protection (ISCPP)
Congressional Science Fellow, introduced a panel and led an open forum for further
discussions on international issues. Also at this meeting, the APS Council created the
Office of International Programs (OIP), with its own advisory board, to replace the
International Cooperation Committee. Delp was the first director. OIP would go on to
create its own infrastructure of subcommittees and help bring international programs
and opportunities for plant pathology and plant pathologists to an entirely new level that
continues to this day. Among its many activities and actions: OIP hosts a booth each
year at the annual meeting as a meeting site for APS members interested in international
activities; sponsors a Library Assistance Program developed by the International
Cooperation Committee in the 1970s that provides books, journals, CDs, slides, and
other resources to libraries in developing countries; and regularly sponsors symposia and
discussion sessions on international interests. OIP also developed a modified Population
and World Hunger statement approved by Council in 1993.
Growth in the “Internationalization” of APS
More than any specific international committee, office, program, or policy statement,
as important as these are, there is no better evidence of the maturation of APS in
international leadership and cooperation than the growth in Society membership and
33
in the percentage of papers submitted to APS journals from outside the United States.
For example, in the year of the Orlando meeting with its theme of “International
Cooperation,” Phytopathology Editor-in-Chief Greg Shaner reported that 15% of
papers published in the journal were from international contributors representing 15
countries. For the year ending June 1991, Phytopathology Editor-in-Chief Laurence
Madden reported that 22% of the research articles were from international contributors,
representing 17 countries. And during the 12-month period ending June 1999, 51% of
the papers published in Phytopathology were from international authors, outnumbering
those submitted by U.S. authors. The trend has been similar for Plant Disease. The
percentage of members living outside the United States also grew rapidly during the
1990s, reaching a relatively stable 31% starting in 1997, and recently climbing to 34%
in 2006 and 2007. Four percent of members are Canadian.
Equally indicative of the international nature of APS is the number of members from
outside the United States honored each year with an APS award. Commonly, onefourth to one-third of the Fellow awards go to international members, and the Ruth
Allen award has been given to an international member at about this same frequency.
At the 2007 meeting in San Diego, both the Ruth Allen and the Noel Keen awards
went to international members. The Society added the International Service Award in
1998 as part of the annual Awards and Honors, to recognize “outstanding contributions
to plant pathology by an APS member for a country other than his or her own.” The
APS Foundation also developed an international dimension with the establishment
by John and Anne Niederhauser of the JANE fund in 1990 as a source of grants to
support research internationally on diseases caused by Phytophthora species, and gifts to
the Foundation have established two funds for international students and early career
scientists to attend an annual meeting of APS (discussed further below).
Support of Colleagues in Italy on Research Involving Biotechnology Applications
In a decision clearly consistent with “international cooperation” and apparently without
precedent, APS in 2001 supported a petition signed by scientists in Italy protesting a
unilateral threat by the Italian Minister of Agriculture to withdraw funding for research
involving biotechnology. The statement developed by APS, signed by APS President
Steve Slack, and sent to the agricultural ministry in Italy reads:
The American Phytopathological Society supports responsible application
of biotechnology for the improvement of plant health and productivity,
because it has given us new insights into plant/pathogen interactions and
new approaches to sustainable management of plant diseases. The American
Phytopathological Society endorses the petition signed by Italian scientists to
protest the unilateral threat by the Italian Minister of Agriculture of withdrawal
of funding for research involving biotechnology. This unilateral imposition
of ideology without proper public debate is unacceptable. Its effect upon the
potential benefits of biotechnology research conducted by Italian scientists will
not only lessen the quality of Italian science but could deny food security to
people of the whole world. This action of the Italian Minister is not reflective of
sound judgment or reasoning and strikes at the very core of the application of
democratic principles in a free society. Your efforts to obtain withdrawal of this
decree are supported by our Society.
Scientific Exchanges with the Chinese Society for Plant Pathology
The Society’s most recent outreach effort in international cooperation was the decision
approved by Council in 2006 to send an official delegation of APS leaders to China in
May 2007. The delegation met with leaders of the Chinese Society for Plant Pathology
(CSPP) in Beijing, where CSPP President You-Liang Peng and APS President Jan Leach
cosigned an agreement on short-term collaborations between the two societies.
Such an exchange was actually first suggested by the New [Special] Projects Committee
in the mid-1970s following the Shanghai Accord signed in 1972 that opened up
scientific and cultural exchanges with the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Already in
1974, for example, Arthur Kelman and Norman Borlaug served as members of the U.S.
34
Plant Studies Delegation to the PRC, sponsored as a scientific exchange between the
U.S National Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academica Sinica. In 1976, Alan
Roelfs and I served on the U.S. Wheat Studies Delegation to the PRC, another scientific
exchange between the two academies. The 1974 report of the New Projects Committee
summed up its discussion with the questions: “China visits by scientists? Who should go?”
In August 1979, Peter H. Tsao, a member of the

International Cooperation Committee, developed “A
Tentative Proposal on Agreement and Scientific Exchange
and Cooperation between Chinese Society of Plant
Protection (CSPP) and The American Phytopathological
Society (APS).” The agreement was written “for
consideration” of Shen Chi-yi and Chiu Wei-fan, vice
presidents of CSPP, but was either never sent or was never
ratified. However, in April 1983, immediate past president
J. A. Browning extended an official invitation from APS to
members of a delegation representing the Chinese Society
of Plant Protection and the Chinese Society of Plant
Pathology (in the United States at that time) and offering
to provide registration and accommodation for two of
their representatives to attend the 75th annual meeting
scheduled for June 1983 in Ames. Shen Chi-yi, president
of the Chinese Society of Plant Protection, responded in
a letter dated April 22, 1983, commenting, “I am very
impressed that you are interested in developing a closer


Industry Relations and Private Practice
Industry Committee
Spurred by growth in the discovery, manufacture, and marketing of fungicides during
the 1930s and early 1940s, starting with seed treatment products, industry began for
the first time to employ plant pathologists and to take serious interest in the science
and especially the practice of plant pathology. Paralleling, and on a similar timeline
to the Society’s outreach effort to formalize International Cooperation as part of the
APS committee structure, Industrial Relations was one of nine special committees of
the Society in the early 1950s. Interestingly, whereas membership on the International
Cooperation Committee was (and remains) balanced between U.S. and international
members of the Society, the Industrial Relations Committee (later known as the Industry
Committee) was and remains made up primarily of members from industry and has
largely set its own agenda.
CSPP Vice President Zejian
Guo, APS Executive Vice
President Steve Nelson,
APS President-Elect Ray
Martyn, and CSPP Vice
President Huaifang Li.
On the other hand, the committee adopted the view that it existed for service to the
Society and not to industry, a view that it held for nearly 20 years. In 1962, for example,
the committee’s report stated simply, “No meetings were held and no business was
transacted during the year. The Society made no requests of the Committee; it was
inactive.” Likewise in 1963: “The Committee held no meetings and conducted no
business during the year. An open meeting of industry representatives [is planned for] the
meeting in Amherst in August 1964. It is hoped that suggestions will be forth-coming at
that time as to what role, if any, Industry should have in the affairs of APS.”
35
If there was a request of industry, it was usually for financial support for Phytopathology
through paid advertising or to help finance social functions at the annual meetings. In
an early example, a resolution following the very successful 1954 (46th) annual meeting
held at the YMCA Conference Camp in Estes Park, CO, includes “that we express
our sincere appreciation to…Shell Chemical Corporation, Rhom and Haas Chemical
Company, E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, United Fruit Company, and
Naugatuck Chemical Corporation for their financial contributions toward the success of
the annual banquet and entertainment.” Three years later, E. F. Feichtmeir, chair of what
was still named the Industrial Relations Committee, reported that the committee was
attempting to get members from industry to present scientific papers, either at the Palo
Alto or Bloomington meetings. He then commented on a request for industry support
of the Golden Jubilee meeting, noting that “industry is called upon so often by various
organizations for contributions that, unless our story can be made very convincing, we
are doubtful of success.”
…industry is now
participating fully
in making the
annual meeting
a success.
– H. Vincent Morton, 1985
After nearly two decades of relative inactivity, the Industry Committee decided in
1965 to take over sponsorship of the former Fungicide Colloquium, last sponsored
by the Chemical Control Committee in 1960, and redesign it to permit reports from
manufacturers of pesticides and application equipment. These discussion sessions
have continued at annual meetings ever since, with such titles as “New Products and
Services” and “The Cutting Edge of Seed Treatments.” In 1969, the Industry Committee
sponsored a general session at the annual meeting in Spokane on “Plant Pathologists
Serve Society,” moderated by Gordon Brandes, and in 1981, it sponsored a discussion
session on “The Plant Pathologist in Industry: Roles and Opportunities,” to help inform
APS members of opportunities in the private sector. The well-attended ExtensionIndustry socials at the annual meeting began in the 1970s and have continued to the
present. In 1983, a page entitled “Industry News” was added on an as-requested basis
to Plant Disease. In 1985, Vince Morton, chair of the committee, reported that “several
industry members also contributed papers. Thus, industry is now participating fully in
making the annual meeting a success.”
While not without missed opportunities, relations with industry and involvement of
private-sector plant pathologists and their companies or businesses in the affairs of APS
have made major advances during the past 25 years, as have, in turn, service to and
support of these members by the Society. Virtually every annual meeting of the past 25
years has had at least one discussion session, colloquium, or workshop organized by and
for members employed in industry or in private practice.
The representatives of industry, recognizing that state and federal institutions could
not legally use public funds to support activities such as socials at the annual meetings,
have readily stepped in with support to the extent allowed by their respective budgets.
Likewise, APS through the years has recognized and respected the limitations on plant
pathologists working in industry with regard to taking on major leadership roles within
the Society, in contrast to the public sector, where service to professional scientific
societies has been considered part of professional growth and development and even a
contributing factor to promotion decisions. This mutual understanding notwithstanding,
many strong and dedicated leaders within the Society have come from industry. Four
representatives of industry were invited participants in the 1958 Golden Jubilee meeting,
all taking part in a symposium entitled Fungicides. Three of the four—R. H. Wellman of
Union Carbide, Gordon Brandes of Rohm & Haas, and L. Gordon Utter of Diamond
Alkali—represented American companies and had been active and supportive members
of APS since the early 1950s. Other active and dedicated servants of the Society from
industry include Charles Delp from DuPont; Bill Tweedy, N. Beth Carroll, Allison Tally,
and Vince Morton from Syngenta; and Molly Cline from Monsanto, to name but a few
of the many over the past 60 years.
Perhaps the biggest change for private-sector pathologists during this period was the
growth in products and research in biotechnology. On August 8, 1990, APS released
36
one of its most important position statements, “Medicines for Plant Health: Fungicides”
(Table 1), on the importance of agricultural fungicides to the U.S. food supply. With
public concern for the safety and appropriate use of biotechnology as high or even higher
than for pesticides, the Society, through several position statements (Table 1), responses
to proposed federal regulation, and the service of members on key federal committees,
has provided exemplary scientific leadership for moving forward with both the research
and the commercial use of this technology for food and agriculture. As is characteristic of
the Society’s efforts in public education and outreach more generally, its messages relating
to biotechnology have been consistently apolitical and science-based.
The inclusion of commercial exhibits at the annual meeting of APS has offered further
exposure of and support for a wide range of private companies and is now one of
the main attractions at the meetings. In turn, industry has continued to sponsor and
help underwrite costs of the highly popular Extension-Industry socials at each annual
meeting, although not without occasional review of the rationale and exploration of
alternative ways to support the meetings. With a growing number of plant pathology
graduates finding employment in the private sector, the Industry Committee in 1996
started hosting an industry–graduate student breakfast. The Ciba Geigy Award was first
given to an APS member in 1975 “in recognition of significant contributions to the
advancement of knowledge of plant diseases and their control.” Renamed the Novartis
Award and now the Syngenta Award as the name of the company changed, this award
is now in its 33rd year (although it has not been made every year). In 1998, APS
established the Excellence in Industry Award (the same year as the International Service
Award), with Vince Morton deservedly the first recipient.
Much of the progress in industry participation in the affairs of APS can be attributed to
a greater commitment of the Society’s leadership to recognizing and meeting the needs
of industry—beyond asking for financial support for social gatherings at the annual
meetings. An ad hoc Industry Committee appointed in 1998 worked, through conference
calls and e-mails, to examine (reexamine) all aspects of industry-APS interactions,
recognizing that the culture of both APS and industry “needs to be reinvented.” One
recommendation was to have two or three industry representatives on the committee
charged with developing the 1999 APS strategic plan. Presumably because of the
recommendations of this committee, Council in 1998 appointed an Industry Advisory
Board “to help encourage, develop and coordinate activities for APS members from
industry.” In 2002, Council established the Office of Industry Relations (OIR) with Chris
Becker as the first director. The OIR is the first formal structure of the Society dedicated
to fostering and coordinating a working relationship between APS Sustaining Associates
and the Industry Committee. The efforts continue: in 2006, President John Andrews,
in his column in Phytopathology News, “From the President’s Notebook,” rephrased that
famous 1961 line from President John F. Kennedy to pose the questions, “What can
industry do for APS?” (1) and, in the next issue, “What can APS do for industry?” (2).
Sustaining Associates
The Sustaining Associates membership category dates back to 1945, with dues set
at $100 per year. Rohm and Haas (Philadelphia) joined in July 1945, followed by
E.I. DuPont de Nemours (Wilmington) in September 1945, Freeport Sulphur Co.
(New Orleans) in January 1946, and Tennessee Corporation (Atlanta) in February 1946.
Including these first four companies that became Sustaining Associates at $100 each
per year, Sustaining Associates have contributed a total of about $550,000 in support
of APS as of this writing in early 2008, not including advertising, support for socials,
and gifts to the APS Foundation.
Amid all the start-ups, acquisitions, and consolidations in the private sector, support for
APS through the Sustaining Associates program has remained fairly constant at between
50 and 60 members over the past 25 years; with more recent industry consolidations,
however, this number has fallen in the past five years to an average of 35 companies. The
Sustaining Associates Committee has focused its efforts on improving communications,
37
developing a closer relationship between members of the Society and Sustaining
Associates, and facilitating greater involvement of Sustaining Associates in the activities
of APS. In 1986, during the presidency of Luis Sequeira, the Society began the tradition
of sponsoring the Sustaining Associates Breakfast; that same year, a “Salute to Sustaining
Associates” was published in Plant Disease.
Private Practice
In 1981, recognizing the growing number of members working in private practice as
consultants, Council approved the Private Practice Committee as a new Society General
Policies Standing Committee chaired by R. S. Cox. One of the first recommendations
of this committee was that “a column entitled ‘Consultant’s Corner’ be initiated in
Plant Disease for the purpose of portraying their growing role in crop production.” The
committee also began to assemble a list of plant pathologists in private practice. Like
the Industry Committee many years earlier, the Private Practice Committee also began
to organize sessions for their interest group at the annual meetings. The committee’s
1996 annual report stated that “more than 125 people attended the Private Practice
Colloquium…The room was full to overflow the entire time of the meeting, which
extended past 5:00 with questions and answers still being discussed when the colloquium
was closed.” As for overlap or competition with extension, the report goes on to declare
that “it was clear that the private practitioner does not compete with the extension
service, since both of these groups are carrying forward similar, but non-conflicting
assignments. It appeared to be the opinion of those in attendance that more of this type
of information needs to be presented to meet an increasing need on the part of many
plant pathologists.” Unfortunately, interest in this committee gradually declined despite
Council’s efforts to encourage greater participation, and in 2007 the Private Practice
Committee was disbanded due to lack of interest.
Certification of Plant Pathologists
Ten years before the formation of the Private Practice Committee, Council in 1972 had
appointed a Special Committee on Certification of Plant Pathologists, chaired by Harlan
Smith, with the charge to “make a study of the desirability and feasibility of certification
of plant pathologists and report to the APS Council on the findings.” A draft report, “A
Proposed American Registry of Certified Plant Pathologists,” dated June 18, 1973, was
produced largely or entirely by Smith. In addition, a questionnaire entitled “Certification
of Plant Pathologists” was developed for publication in the June 1973 issue of
Phytopathology News “to both educate and obtain feedback from members interested in
certification.” In a rare rebuke of a committee or member of a committee, the Executive
Committee pulled the questionnaire and asked President H. L. Barnett to “instruct
Harlan Smith to come up with some concrete recommendations.” In fact, Barnett had
done exactly this in a letter to Smith dated May 23, 1973, asking him to speed up
the process and to “put together a proposal (even though it may be incomplete)…for
consideration by Council at the September [1973] meeting.”
A draft proposal dated March 14, 1974, referred to the “American Registry of
Professional Plant Pathologists,” was envisioned as a self-supporting, nonprofit activity
of APS. Applications for certification were to be voluntary. A brochure on the proposed
registry was to have been produced for membership review in advance of the Vancouver
meeting in 1974, but this never happened. Consequently James Tammen, as presidentelect, informed Smith on May 17, 1974, that the discussion session and committee
meeting he had scheduled for the Vancouver meeting would not be necessary, and
thanked him for moving this issue along, as complicated as it was and remained. The
committee’s report submitted to Council was then presented to the members at the 1974
general business meeting, where a motion to approve the report was defeated after “an
extended discussion from the floor.”
Not until September 26, 1978, could APS Secretary Derald Slack report to President
Durward Bateman the results of a vote on the question, “Should APS proceed with the
establishment of an American Registry of Professional Plant Pathologists?” The vote was
38
195 in favor, 69 against, for a total of just 264 votes received. With this result in hand,
an ad hoc committee chaired by Houston Couch recommended the establishment of a
voluntary American Registry of Professional Plant Pathologists to be managed by APS.
Couch then presented to Council a proposed charter, bylaws, and code of ethics, dated
July 28, 1980—a 23-page document—for the proposed registry. In the meantime, the
debate shifted at the 1979 annual meeting to the question of APS’s liability if the registry
were managed by the Society. This issue notwithstanding, Council appointed an ad hoc
Registry Committee, with Ed Lloyd as chair, charged to “take the [Couch] report and
develop a registry handbook, with appropriate forms to implement establishment of the
registry.” This committee, under Barry Jacobsen as the new chair, reported to Council in
1982 that only nine persons had attended an organizational meeting of the “American
Registry of Professional Plant Pathologists,” none of whom were in private practice.
Council then directed the committee to determine through publicity in either Plant
Disease or Phytopathology whether a registry was still desired by the membership and
noted that “liability concerns will warrant attention.” This apparently was the final action
of this committee.
Nearly another 10 years passed before the subject came up again, this time in a meeting
of the Private Practice Committee during the 1989 annual meeting when the committee
decided that one of its three functions would be to “develop a certification program.”
In 1991, with the support of a committee of three (J. Amador, C. Windells, and K.
Conway) appointed by President George Agrios, Council approved a proposal from
the Private Practice Committee chaired by Larry Stowell to form a Registry of Certified
Professional Plant Pathologists, to be operated as a subboard of the American Registry of
Certified Professionals in Agronomy, Crops and Soils (ARCPACS) (38). As a follow-up,
the Private Practice Committee sponsored a discussion session at the 1992 annual meeting
entitled “Certification Opportunities for Plant Pathologists.” In spite of the leadership
provided by this committee, Stowell as chair of the Board for Certified Professional Plant
Pathologists reported in 1997 that only 34 plant pathologists had been certified since
the program began. Interest in the program remained low, until the Registry of Certified
Professional Plant Pathologists met the same fate as the Private Practice Committee and
was discontinued at the request of ARCPACS due to lack of participation.
Infrastructure, Professional Management, and Governance
APS governance began in 1909 with a president, vice president, secretary-treasurer,
and two councilors. By 1958, the governance had grown to include the president,
president-elect, immediate past president, vice president, secretary, treasurer–business
manager, editor-in-chief of Phytopathology, two councilors-at-large, and five division
councilors—for a total of 14 members serving on Council. In addition, there were 23
committees. At the 2007 annual meeting, APS governance still stood at six officers but
had added one more division councilor in 1968 and one councilor-at-large in 1975;
and there are now eight editors-in-chief, five of whom serve on Council, and the APS
Foundation chair and the executive vice president are ex officio members of Council—
for a total of 22. In addition, the Society now has a director or chair for each of the APS
Foundation, Office of Electronic Communications, Office of Industry Relations, Office
of International Programs, Office of Public Relations and Outreach, Public Policy Board,
Publications Board, and Scientific Programs Board, plus eight ad hoc committees, four
Special Committees, three Society Internal Relations Committees, nine Society General
Policy Committees, and 26 Subject Matter Committees—a total of 50 committees, not
counting the three or four subcommittees that operate under the respective Boards.
As APS grew, so did interest in the formation of divisions that could sponsor regional
meetings. The Western American Phytopathological Society was formed in 1914 and
became the Pacific Division the following year. The Southern Division formed in 1918.
A Canadian Division also formed in 1918 but dissolved in 1930 with formation of
the Canadian Phytopathological Society (CPS). The New England Division formed in
39
1941 and became the Northeastern Division in 1946. The Potomac and North Central
divisions were formed in 1944 and 1947, respectively, and the Caribbean Division was
formally added in 1961.
At the 1954 meeting in Estes Park, Council approved a decision that the presidentelect would thereafter serve as chair of the Program Committee, with the president,
vice president, secretary, and editor-in-chief of Phytopathology as other members.
Following the 1960 annual meeting at Green Lake, WI, an ad hoc committee chaired
by Glen Pound recommended the formation of two “super committees”: a Program
[super] Committee, forerunner to today’s Scientific Programs Board, still chaired by the
president-elect but now made up of the chairs of the subject matter committees and
charged with planning the programs for annual meetings several years in advance; and
a Publications Committee, made up of the editor-in-chief of Phytopathology and the
chairs of the committees responsible for Phytopathological Classics, Phytopathological
Monographs and Reviews, Phytopathology News, and New Fungicide and Nematicide
Data. Article V, Section 1, of the APS Constitution was changed in 1962 to reflect the
election of a vice president who would then progress to president-elect and president,
eliminating the practice of annually electing both a vice president and a president-elect.
A provision to establish local organizations referred to as “Chapters” was introduced
with a constitutional change in 1976, with the requirement that “a formal application
justifying such establishment is made to Council through the appropriate Division
Councilor and approved.”
From All-Volunteer to Professional Management of the Business Affairs of APS
Helen Hart’s suggestion to President George Fischer in 1957 that APS look into the
arrangements for technical editing developed by the cereal chemists would eventually
pan out—and become one of the most significant decisions made by APS. The Society
first enlisted the professional services of Ray Tarleton in 1964 to provide technical
editing of Phytopathology (39). Tarleton was employed at that time by the American
Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC), with responsibilities for both technical editing
and management of the association’s business affairs.

The business affairs of APS were managed by a member of the Society,
starting with Donald Reddick as the first business manager, working
out of their office or more commonly out of their home. In 1963, APS
Treasurer–Business Manager A. W. Dimmock wrote in his annual report,
“The amount of work necessarily handled by the business office has been
exceptionally great during the past year and would have been entirely
impossible but for the understanding and experienced help of my wife,
Edith, and my son, Douglas, and the confidence and support of the
Council.” When President Arthur Kelman contacted Tarleton as to his
interest in also managing the business affairs of APS, Tarleton referred
Kelman to his full-time employer, the AACC. Thus began the discussions
between AACC and APS that would lead first to the transfer of the
technical editing of Phytopathology and the day-to-day management of
the Society’s business affairs to staff of AACC, with APS as a client of
AACC, and then to a partnership often referred to informally as “the
scientific societies,” with shared facilities and professional staff in Eagan,
MN. This is truly one of the most fortuitous developments in the history
of APS. The establishment of the AACC-APS partnership led to the appointment of Ray
Tarleton as executive vice president of APS and AACC 1967.

first executive vice president
of APS. He served from
1964 through 1991.
40
It was a fire on October 22, 1968, that destroyed much of the building where AACC
rented space that prompted AACC to approach the APS Council as to the Society’s
interest in the construction or purchase of a shared facility that neither group could likely
afford alone. With both societies conducting fundraising, three acres were purchased in
Eagan in 1969, a building committee chaired by AACC member Daniel G. McPherson
was formed in 1970, and construction of a 12,000-ft2 building was started in April 1971.
The new building was dedicated on May 11, 1972, during Joseph Fulton’s term as APS
president.
In 1989, and largely because of the continued growth in titles produced through APS
PRESS, APS Council and the AACC Board approved construction of a 10,000-ft2
addition to the headquarters building in Eagan; construction began in June and
occupancy followed in November. On March 7, 1991, on the occasion of the retirement
of Ray Tarleton, the new addition was dedicated and named the Tarleton Wing.
After the fire in 1968, Steve Nelson, a student at the time, was hired to help recover
and sort whatever documents and manuscripts were
salvageable. Upon graduation, he was hired by Tarleton
as a keyliner. After nearly 20 years working with Tarleton
as his supervisor and mentor, Nelson was appointed
APS-AACC executive vice president in April 1991, a
position he holds today.

At present, the APS-AACC partnership staff manage the
business affairs and production of publications not only
for APS and AACC, but also for the Controlled Release
Society, the American Society of Brewing Chemists, the
Master Brewers of the Americas, and the International
Society for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions.
Strategic and Long-Range Planning for the Society
and the Discipline
Arthur Kelman, one of the true visionaries of the Society,
appointed the two special committees discussed above
that could be considered forerunners of formal strategic
planning by the Society. The New [Special] Projects Committee was to be chaired
by the vice president, starting with A. W. Dimmock, and the International [Special]
Projects Committee was chaired by J. L. Apple. In addition to the mandate to “take a
broad view of existing projects and sharpen focus on areas in need of further project
strength,” the New Projects Committee was to be “composed of young pathologists who
are broadly representative of the many facets of our discipline.” Some of the needs and
opportunities identified by this committee during its relatively short tenure that would
eventually be acted on (albeit quite independently of the committee’s long-since-forgotten
recommendations) include, in addition to a second journal for publication of results of
applied research, a presence in the federal capital to act as a source of information to the
government on plant diseases; a graduate degree for practicing plant pathologists, similar
to the doctoral degree program proposed by Horsfall at the Golden Jubilee meeting for
practitioners of plant pathology and forerunner to the Doctor of Plant Health (28); and
the development of exchanges between APS and the Chinese Society of Plant Pathology
(discussed above). The purpose of the International [Special] Projects Committee
was to develop “long-range plans of international projects which would indicate the
responsibility and opportunity for service of our Society.” Both committees were
disbanded in 1975.


1972, of the new permanent

Phytopathological Society,

American Association of
Cereal Chemists (AACC) and
built with space to expand on
3 acres purchased jointly with
AACC in Eagan, Minnesota
in 1969.
It would be another five years before a more organized and sustained strategic and longrange planning process would begin with the appointment in 1980 by President L. H.
Purdy of a Long Range Planning Committee. (James Tammen had appointed a Special
Committee on Long Range Planning in 1975, apparently with a focus on long-range
financial planning.) The charge to the 1980 committee, chaired first by Paul Williams
and later Charles Delp, was “to consider all aspects of APS operations and governance
with a long-range view and to report periodically to the Council and to the Society.” An
interim report was published in 1981 (18), and the final report, identifying eight key
issues with recommended scenarios, strategies, and actions, followed in 1982 (19). An
opportunity to discuss this report was provided in a “rap” session at the 1982 annual
meeting in Salt Lake City. The committee was disbanded in 1982.
41
The strategic planning process, again focused on APS (as opposed to plant pathology),
was revived in 1991 with the appointment by Council of a nine-member committee
chaired by Steven Pueppke. Similar to the committee charge 10 years earlier, the
charge was “to examine the direction(s) our Society is going, and to provide us with…a
blueprint for action for the next 5 years or so.” Randy Rowe announced at the 1992
annual meeting in Portland that his presidency in 1993 would focus on the Society’s
new strategic plan and that the theme of the 1993 annual meeting would be “Plant
Pathology—Beyond 2000.” The plan was completed in 1992 and adopted

by Council in 1993 as a five-year plan that included an updated mission
statement and three major goals: 1) to promote the science of plant pathology
by providing improved services and offering expanded opportunities for
involvement in APS; 2) to strengthen the image and understanding of the
science and practice of plant pathology; and 3) to ensure the financial stability
of the Society into the next century. With the approval of this strategic
plan, Council also established that the immediate past president would be
responsible each year for reporting on the progress toward each goal.
The 1993 APS Strategic Plan has been followed by a succession of five-year
plans approved in 1999, 2003, and now anticipated in 2008. Larry Madden
summed it up nicely in his 1997 President’s Report: “Like many organizations, we have
a Strategic Plan. Unlike most groups, however, we actually use the plan to evaluate our
current way of doing things, and to make changes for the future. This does not mean that
other changes are not needed. In fact, several small-to-large changes likely will be required
in the next few years. But what I really like about our organization is that we are prepared
to tackle some tough issues as we move into the next century.”

Official Seal of APS,
first introduced in 1966.
The five-year plan approved by Council in 1999 had five goals: 1) strengthen the science
and practice of plant pathology; 2) maintain a strong professional organization; 3)
become the premier resource for plant health information and knowledge dissemination;
4) foster professional growth and development; and 5) promote understanding and
increase awareness of plant pathology and plant health science among the public and
among policy-making, regulatory, and funding bodies. Each of these five goals, in turn,
had up to five specific objectives.
Following Council approval of a revised five-year plan in 2003, strategic planning was
taken to a new level through a series of Strategic Planning and Leadership Forums.
At the first such forum, held in August 2003 in Charlotte, more than 35 attendees
brainstormed ideas on governance, strategic financial planning, and APS’s international
role. Follow-up leadership forums have continued yearly with different key focus areas
for review and dialogue. With this heightened focus, the role of the APS Council has
transitioned from periodic reviews to a continuous review of the strategic plan to ensure
there is consensus on the vision and goals and that the measures of success are clearly
defined. The strategic plan is the template for all decisions and the current priorities
focus efforts. This process resulted in the latest revision of the APS Strategic Plan,
developed during 2006-2007 by an ad hoc group consisting of John Andrews, Margery
Daughtrey, Joyce Loper and Ray Martyn with five major goals: 1) promote the highestquality scientific standards; 2) maintain a strong, proactive, and united professional
organization; 3) be recognized as the leading global resource for plant health information
and knowledge dissemination; 4) foster professional growth and development; and 5)
promote understanding and increase awareness of plant diseases and the practice of plant
pathology. While the goals have grown or changed modestly over the past 25 years, such
as the statement on scientific standards added in this latest plan, the wording of the goals
reflects a consistent determination of the Society to lead nationally and globally while
maintaining its core value of helping members succeed in their careers.
As emphasized above, the succession of strategic plans during the past nearly 30 years has
focused on the Society. In 1983, Arthur Kelman reported to Council on the activities
42
of the Special Committee on Long-Range Research Goals for plant pathology, pointing
out the need for APS to develop a document on long-range goals for the science with the
widest possible input from the subject matter committees. The purpose of a document
that identified needs, deficiencies, promising areas, and problems facing plant pathology
was to position the Society with a list of its priorities to be used by federal funding
agencies. The report of this committee, chaired by Doug Maxwell, was published in
1986 (30). Meanwhile, Kelman devoted both his keynote address at the 1984 joint APSCPS annual meeting in Guelph, Ontario, and his prefatory chapter in Annual Review of
Phytopathology the following year (24) to setting forth his own list for long-range research
goals in plant pathology.
Unlike the strategic planning process for APS, there has been no succession of plans for
long-range research goals. Armed with flexibility in timing and earned respect within
both the executive and legislative branches of the federal government, the Public Policy
Board, with Eversole and Associates and in consultation with specific APS committees
as appropriate, has made the need for a lengthy long-range planning process for research
goals redundant if not obsolete. In 1999, for example, Council approved a set of research
priorities for the Society developed by the then-named National Plant Pathology Board.
Nonetheless, the 1986 report produced by the Special Committee on Long-Range
Research Goals under Maxwell’s leadership is a remarkably visionary document well
worth reading for its perspectives and the accuracy of its predictions made more than
20 years ago.


Establishment of Awards and Honors
Following the formation of a Special Committee on Awards and Honors in 1962, the
first 34 APS Fellows were named in 1965, the first Ruth Allen
Award was made to Harold Flor in 1966, and the first Award of
Distinction was presented to E. C. Stakman in 1967. The list of awards
and honors bestowed by the Society has since expanded to include
the Ciba Geigy (now Syngenta) Award starting in 1975, the Lee M.
Hutchins Award established in 1980 and first awarded in 1981, the
APS Distinguished Service Award first made to Thor Kommedahl in
1984, the Excellence in Teaching and Excellence in Extension awards
in 1989, the International Service and Excellence in Industry awards
in 1998, the William Boright Hewitt and Maybelle Ellen Ball Hewitt
Award in 2002, the Noel Keen Award for Research in Molecular Plant
Pathology in 2003, the Friends of APS Award in 2004, and the APS
Outstanding Volunteer Award in 2005. APS also made the selection for the Campbell
Award in 1974, 1976, and 1978 on behalf of the Campbell Soup Company, with the
American Society for Horticultural Science making the selections in alternate years.
Official logo of APS, first
introduced in 2001.
An Official Seal, APS Logo, and Branding Slogan
A special committee to design an official seal for the Society was appointed in 1965,
consisting of T. C. Allen, A. J. Ullstrup, and S. E. A. McCallan (chair). The committee
offered three final selections the following year, and the Official Seal was approved in
August 1966 by a vote of the membership at the Denver annual meeting. At the New
Orleans annual meeting in 2000, Council established a new ad hoc Branding Committee
to enhance the current image of APS. The goal of developing a comprehensive branding
program was to maximize current and potential membership and product sales by
integrating the chosen brand strategy into all aspects of the organization. The committee,
chaired by Erik Stromberg, went through a series of steps to gather member feedback
and set the framework for initiating a branding campaign. Council unanimously
approved the new brand, including logo and tagline “Healthy Plants  Healthy World,”
in July 2001. The official unveiling of the logo took place at the 2001 APS Breakfast
Program in Salt Lake City.

The APS Code of Professional Conduct
Anne Vidaver raised the question in 1983 of whether APS needed a written code of
ethics. This question was referred to the Public Responsibilities Committee, and a
proposed “American Phytopathological Society Code of Professional Conduct” was
submitted to Council in February 1992 and approved in 1993.
Formation of the APS Foundation
In 1985, Council approved appointment of the Endowment Fund Special Committee
chaired by Roy Young. The purpose of this committee was “to build an Endowment
Fund, to oversee the investment of this fund, and to recommend appropriate uses of the
income from the fund for the benefit of our members and profession.” The following
year, Council unanimously adopted and the membership approved the recommendation
“that an APS Foundation be established as an independent entity that would receive
and manage funds for endowment purposes.” After a mail ballot used to obtain approval
of the necessary constitutional amendment, the APS Foundation was official. With
this historic action, finalized in 1986, the Endowment Fund Special Committee was
disbanded, and its members—David French, Ralph Green, Frank Howard, James
Tammen, Bill Tweedy, George Zentmyer, and Roy Young (chair)— became the founding
board of directors of the APS Foundation.
This new board of directors—probably as blue-ribbon as any group of
APS leaders ever assembled for any purpose—went immediately about
the business of forming the new organization. Terms of one to five years
were assigned to the board members, committees were established, and
plans were developed to begin raising funds. The first officers were James
Tammen, chair; Bill Tweedy, vice chair; Dave French, treasurer; and Ray
Tarleton, secretary. In this first year, 165 members donated $23,362.
With the transfer by Council of $8,500 from the E. C. Stakman
fund to the Foundation, the fund approached $32,000 by the end of
1987. Twenty years later, the 2007 audited report puts the cumulative
contributions at $1,246,839. Effective as of 1999, the Foundation
merged into APS as a cost-saving measure, while continuing to maintain
separate budgets and funding.

The first awards program outlined by the board for use of the
funds included support for students and student programs, both
undergraduate and graduate, a “Genesis” program for young scientists
to “encourage creative thought and early development of innovations
in the science of plant pathology and its application,” enhancement of the Society’s
international activities, and programs of special interest to the contributor. These goals
remain very much the goals of the APS Foundation today. Remarkably, it was possible
already in 1987 to make the first awards of $500 to each of three libraries at Makerere
University, Kampala, Uganda; Shanghai Agricultural College, Shanghai, People’s
Republic of China; and the University of Mayor San Simon, Cochabamba, Bolivia. The
citations read: “In order to enhance international activities of the Society and specifically
to strengthen library holdings in plant pathology for growing agricultural universities.”
Charles Delp developed the winning proposal on behalf of the Office of International
Programs and accepted the awards on behalf of the three recipient institutions. The first
Genesis awards of $1,500 each were made in 1988 to Gail Schumann and Forrest Nutter
to enhance teaching of plant pathology to undergraduate students.

Announcement in
Phytopathology News
of the successful beginning
of the APS Foundation with
the first Genesis awards, made
in 1988 to Forrest Nutter and
Gail Schumann to enhance
teaching in plant pathology
to undergraduates.
The next major action of the Foundation was its 1989 recommendation approved
by Council that APS and the Foundation join in an Endowment/Building Fund
Campaign. The dual goals of this campaign were to establish an endowment fund for the
Foundation of $500,000 and to raise the APS share for an addition to the headquarters
building of $400,000. R. E. Ford and E. L. Kendrick were appointed as cochairs of this
campaign. During the first year of the drive (1990), more than $20,000 was raised for
the building fund and $100,000 for the endowment, the latter thanks to a $20,000
gift from Ciba Geigy (now Syngenta). These gifts were followed by two more major
45
contributions: $100,000 by John and Ann Niederhauser in 1990 and $10,000 from
Monsanto Company in 1991. The Niederhauser contribution established the John and
Ann Niederhauser Endowment (JANE) fund, which now supports a student travel award
of $500 annually and makes awards annually or biannually in support of research on
diseases caused by Phytophthora, typically to an investigator in a developing country. The
Foundation’s first Genesis-2 (International) Award was made in 1993.
Perhaps the Foundation’s greatest success story is the program of named student travel
awards, initiated in 1995. Twenty named travel funds of $2,500 or more were established
almost immediately, and by 1997, seven such funds had reached the $8,000 payout
threshold and provided the first awards of $400 each to seven graduate students to
attend the 1997 annual meeting. As of January 2008, there were 44 named student travel
awards, with the recipients recognized at what has become an annual APS Foundation
luncheon at the annual meeting. As further support for graduate students, and consistent
with the original goals, the first I. E. Melhus Graduate Student Symposium debuted in
1999, funded by an endowment in memory of I. E. Melhus. Students invited as speakers
at these symposia are also provided $500 each toward their travel expenses to the annual
meeting. The eighth Melhus Symposium is planned for the 2008 Centennial meeting in
Minneapolis.
In 1999, a portion of the JANE fund was designated to provide a cash prize to the
recipient of the APS International Service Award. This was followed by gifts of more than
$20,000 from Lucy Hastings de Gutierrez to provide a cash prize for the recipient of the
APS Excellence in Teaching Award. The first cash prizes to accompany these two awards
were given in 2000 at the New Orleans meeting. Through the continued generosity of
members and industry, the Frank Howard Undergraduate Research Award was started in
May 2000 with the first award given in 2002, an International Travel Award was made
starting in 2001, the French-Monar Latin American Travel Award was also established
in 2001 with the first award made in 2003, the Mathre Education Endowment and
the Noel T. Keen Fund were both established in 2002, the first Pioneer Fellowship was
awarded in 2005, and most recently the Milt and Nancy Schroth Endowment and the
Raymond J. Tarleton Endowment were funded in 2007.
The APS Foundation has a familiar presence at annual meetings, where it hosts a booth
staffed by members of the board and volunteers, including student volunteers. This
tradition began at the 1993 annual meeting in Nashville. Its latest campaign, launched
in 2005, is the “100 for the 100th” campaign, with the goal of raising $100,000 by the
time of the Centennial meeting.
The Annual Meeting: Venues, Arrangements, Programs, and Planning
No doubt to assuage the botanists who voted against formation of APS at the 1908
organizational meeting, it was agreed at the first (1909) meeting that the annual
meetings of the fledgling Society would be held jointly with either the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) or the Botanical Society of America.
In fact, APS met in December with AAAS for its first 33 years (32). This began to change
during World War II, when APS started to meet jointly with the Potato Association of
America or the Entomological Society of America. APS began in 1952 to meet jointly
with the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), which formed in 1949. APS
continues to appoint one member each to represent the Society at AAAS and AIBS, but
has no continuing formal affiliation with the Botanical Society of America.
The Golden Jubilee Meeting
APS was one of 27 professional scientific societies that met as part of the 1958 annual
meeting of the American Institute of Biological Sciences on the campus of Indiana
University. Other societies whose members no doubt took in the sessions and exhibits
organized by APS included the American Society for Horticultural Science, the
American Society of Plant Physiologists, the American Society of Plant Taxonomists, the
Botanical Society of America, the Ecological Society of America, the Mycological Society
of America, and the Potato Association of America.
46
The APS program was clearly the mega-program of that mega-event. In addition to the
usual paper-reading sessions, tours, and social functions, this meeting included some 20
exhibits with posters, most of them on accomplishments in plant pathology research and
disease control over the preceding 50 years, and nine symposia with some 60 speakers
covering the breadth of the science and practice of plant pathology to that time. Among
the contributors and legendary subjects were H. H. Flor on his gene-for-gene hypothesis
to explain the genetics of host-parasite interactions, Armin Braun on the role of toxins
and metabolites in disease with a focus on the mysteries of crown gall, and W. M. Stanley
and F. C. Bawden on the structure and multiplication of viruses. In contrast to this
extensive coverage of the state of the science, only five talks were devoted to historical and
developmental aspects of plant pathology and of APS, but these were given commanding
positions in the program and were delivered by none others than J. A. Stevenson with the
USDA in Beltsville, MD, J. C. Walker from the University of Wisconsin, George McNew
with Boyce Thompson Institute, J. G. Harrar with the Rockefeller Foundation, and J. G.
Horsfall of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.


The 20 poster exhibits take on added significance when we consider
where plant pathology started in the United States 50 years earlier and
how far it had come in just 50 years. While new and emerging plant
diseases remain of prime concern in the United States and worldwide,
consider the near-simultaneous emergence, recognition, or sudden
increase in importance of white pine blister rust, wheat stem rust,
chestnut blight, and late blight of potato among the dozens of plant
diseases first recognized around the time of the formation of APS. The
exhibits at the Golden Jubilee meeting reflected a sense of pride in all
that had been accomplished in addition to their educational focus,
but also made equal reference to the continuing problems as well as
the progress that had been made. The plant diseases represented in
these exhibits were stem rust, apple scab, common bunt, wilt fusaria,
Dutch elm disease, tomato leaf mold, black shank of tobacco, tree
fruit virus diseases, virus and viruslike diseases of citrus, and plantpathogenic nematodes. California Spray-Chemical Corp., representing
Ortho, had an exhibit on screening for soil fungicides; both the U.S.
and Canadian departments of agriculture had exhibits of the plant pathology work
in their respective agencies; and the United Fruit Company put on an exhibit of the
“big three” diseases of banana—Moko, Panama Disease, and sigatoka. Three exhibits
presumably sponsored by APS were “Teaching of Plant Pathology,” “Behind the Scenes
in Phytopathology—Time required to edit and publish manuscripts in a typical issue
of Phytopathology” and photos of the first 50 presidents along with charter members,
displayed under the banner “A Few of the Many Who Have Helped Plant Pathology
Grow.”

The Diamond Jubilee Meeting
Anticipation of the 75th anniversary Diamond Jubilee meeting of APS began building in
1979 with invitations to both the Society of Nematologists and the Mycological Society
of America to meet with APS on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames in June
1983. Planning for the meeting began in earnest in 1980 with the appointment of the
Diamond Jubilee Program Organizing Committee by President L. H. Purdy, with S.
H. Smith as chair. Over the next nearly three years, this committee, with representation
from all three societies, planned and produced a 48-chapter treatise with 66 authors that
was published in advance of the 1983 meeting with the title Challenging Problems in
Plant Health (26). Two of the authors of this volume, J. G. Horsfall and K. F. Baker, were
also authors of chapters in the 1959 Golden Jubilee volume.
The intent of the Diamond Jubilee Program Organizing Committee was that, in
conjunction with the published volume, a series of symposia patterned after and coupled
with the topics covered in the volume would be organized for presentation at the
meeting. Meanwhile, the usual APS Program Committee, chaired by me as presidentelect and made up of the chairs of the usual 10-15 Society committees, met during the
47
1982 meeting in Salt Lake City to begin planning the program for the 1983 annual
meeting. Our committee decided that all contributed papers would be moved to poster
sessions. We then followed the normal protocols of reviewing past proposals for formal
and informal sessions and accepted proposals for sessions from the standing, general
policies and subject matter committees. As usual, many proposals were supported by
more than one committee.
By a strange omission, there was no mechanism or apparent plan for communication
and coordination between the two “program organizing committees” at the time of
the Salt Lake City meeting. It was never clear how or whether the Diamond Jubilee
Program Organizing Committee was to replace or somehow work with the 1983
Program Committee. Smith and I met later and compared outlines, but any similarities
between the topics covered in the Diamond Jubilee volume and at the Diamond Jubilee
meeting—and they were considerable—reflected similar thought processes of our two
committees rather than preplanned exchanges. In the end, it did not matter. Challenging
Problems in Plant Health contained a wealth of up-to-date information and syntheses
for that time, and the 1983 annual meeting program planned by the usual committee
process was a resounding success.

Challenging Problems
in Plant Health, a
48-chapter treatise
published in advance
of and to commemorate
the 1983 Diamond
Jubilee meeting of the
American Phytopathological Society held on
the campus of Iowa
State University.
The Diamond Jubilee meeting followed the standard APS annual meeting
format. The general (plenary) session on the contemporary topic of
sustainable agriculture was followed by 20 symposia, 13 discussion sessions,
two workshops, a forum, and more than 500 posters distributed over
seven sessions. To the extent possible, the symposia, typically with four
speakers, were planned to be integrative by including one speaker for each
of mycology, virology, phytobacteriology, and nematology. The focus of
the program was entirely on the science and practice of plant pathology,
and the 75-year history of APS was commemorated with exhibits of
archival material arranged largely by the Archives Committee, and a 75th
anniversary banquet with emeritus members as honored guests. There were
more than 1,850 registrants. Nineteen professional scientific societies of
plant pathology from around the world sent messages or had an officer
personally deliver a message of congratulations. President R. E. Ford
concluded in his report to the Society that “from their remarks we [APS]
are the premiere phytopathological society in the world.”
It was also on this occasion, the 75th anniversary meeting on the campus of Iowa State
University in Ames, that the historic documents of the Society, which have proved to be
such a valuable resource for the preparation of this 100-year history treatise, became part
of the Special Collections held at Iowa State’s Park Library.
And now, the Centennial Meeting, 2008
APS began to plan for its Centennial meeting in 2003—five years in advance—when
President Jacqueline Fletcher appointed the ad hoc Centennial Planning Committee
chaired by Cleora J. D’Arcy. The committee was reappointed in 2004 and became a
Special Committee in 2005.
The charge to the committee was to “make it a year our members will remember.” After
its first meeting in August 2003, Erin Rosskopf as chair of the Scientific Programs Board
was added to the committee to ensure better coordination with the duties of that board
than at the time of the 75th anniversary, when there were two program committees at
work independently (as described above), and Allison Tally was added to increase input
from and contact with members from industry. The committee, with participation of
presidents-elect then presidents Ray Martyn and Jim Moyer and Treasurer Randy Rowe,
has worked hard for the past five years to indeed make this celebration memorable.
The Centennial Planning Committee has organized its work through five subcommittees
focused on program events, displays, publications, finances, and publicity. In recognition
of the close and interdependent relationship between the science and the Society, the
48
committee sponsored a history symposium at each of the four annual meetings leading
up to 2008, covering phytobacteriology in 2004, virology in 2005, nematology in 2006,
and mycology in 2007. The committee also sponsored a tour of Grosse Île at the 2006
annual meeting and distributed a 16-month APS Centennial Calendar at the 2007
annual meeting. An oral history DVD with interviews of prominent APS members;
displays of historical artifacts (including antique equipment and key APS publications);
a timeline of the dates of “historical events, key discoveries, disease epidemics, or
prominent plant pathology ancestors who contributed to APS history”; and a display on
plant pathology for public viewing at the Science Museum of Minnesota are also under
development for the 2008 meeting. Four special sessions with speakers are planned for
the meeting, in addition to the traditional plenary, symposia, discussion, and paper
sessions. These are: In Celebration of 100 Years of The American Phytopathological
Society; Plant Pathology in 1908/2008; Optimizing Opportunities for Everyone in Plant
Pathology; and The Future of Plant Pathology.
The APS Centennial celebration will also make history in its own right. Unlike earlier
commemorations, where industry represented the only source of financial sponsorship,
support for the APS Centennial meeting has been forthcoming from academic
institutions as well; in fact, the number of sponsorships is roughly equal for universities
and industry. Five APS Divisions and one state society of plant pathology are also
counted among the impressive list of sponsors. (See page 2 for full listing).
Selected Memories of Past APS Meetings
Every APS member can probably recall something special or unusual about an annual
or divisional meeting they have attended. Here, I share a few details from three past
meetings, including one that I did not attend.
Having just graduated from high school and preparing that fall to enter my freshman
year at North Dakota Agricultural College (later named North Dakota State University),
I was not at the1954 annual meeting of APS. However, like the Golden Jubilee meeting,
this meeting was still being talked about during coffee breaks among the faculty when I
entered graduate school in the fall of 1958, and it deserves mention as clearly one of the
most unique and delightful meetings in the history of APS. This was the 46th annual
meeting, held jointly with the Pacific Division of APS and the Potato Association of
America (PAA), on August 25-27 at the YMCA Conference Camp in Estes Park, CO.
James H. Jensen, provost at Iowa State College, was APS president. Members brought
their families and camped. Secretary Glen Pound estimated in his report that 1,100
were in attendance, of whom 525 were members. There were 208 formal research
papers presented in addition to two symposia, four informal discussion sessions, and
one joint session with the PAA. As Pound describes it, “the annual banquet was held as
a Chuck Wagon dinner in a colorful western atmosphere. Over 1000 persons attended.
Entertainment which was particularly colorful and appropriate was presented by plant
pathologists of the University of Wyoming.”
The first annual meeting that I remember, because it was the first one I attended, was
the 1960 meeting held at a Baptist camp at Green Lake, WI. Local arrangements were
provided by the University of Wisconsin, and the venue no doubt was the choice
of Glen Pound, then chair of the Department of Plant Pathology at Wisconsin. We
slept in bunk beds, two-high, and typically four to a room. We soon found the closest
bar a short distance from the camp, but the gate to the main road into and out of
the camp was locked each night at 10:00 p.m. This meant climbing over a fence to
get back to our rooms. W. C. Snyder, who enjoyed a libation from time to time, was
president and managed with his typically “dry” wit to make some comment during a
general session that brought down the house, although probably not appreciated by
Glen Pound. I didn’t know it at the time, but I would begin my Ph.D. studies at the
University of California, Berkeley, in February of the following year, with W. C. Snyder
as my major professor. As mentioned above, it was also at this meeting that Council
approved the recommendations of an ad hoc committee chaired by Pound to form
two super committees—the Program Committee chaired by the vice president with 15
49
member representatives of the APS committees, and the Publications Committee with
membership representing the five Society publications at that time and forerunner to
today’s Publication Board.
The other meeting that I remember particularly well, also a historically important one,
was the 1984 annual meeting held jointly with the Canadian Phytopathological Society
on the campus of the University of Guelph. It was my privilege to serve the Society as its
president at this meeting. Establishment of a new publication arm of the Society, to be
named APS PRESS, was approved by Council at this meeting. This was the last campus
meeting of APS. For all intents and purposes, the practice of local arrangements provided
by the faculty of a university department of plant pathology in the state or province
where the meeting was held also ended with this meeting. Since then, local arrangements
have been negotiated and handled by professional staff at APS Headquarters, allowing
the members to concentrate on program content and affairs of the Society.
Combine the energy,
innovative ideas, and
time commitments of
members with the hard
work and dedication
of the highly qualified
paid professional staff
and we have an
explanation for past
accomplishments
and a recipe for
continued success.

Governance, Volunteerism, and Member Services
This entire 100-year history treatise is actually a history of APS governance, volunteerism,
and member services. The remarkable accomplishments and effectiveness of the Society
over the past 100 years are a direct result of the commitment, vision, and hard work of
the members. It has not been unusual, in the annual appointment of new members to
committees and boards, to have 100% or nearly 100% of those asked say yes. APS officers
in recent years have regularly quoted the number of volunteers serving the Society in some
capacity in any one year as more than 500. Combine the energy, innovative ideas, and
time commitments of members with the hard work and dedication of the highly qualified
paid professional staff and we have an explanation for past accomplishments and a recipe
for continued success. Nevertheless, possibly the most oft-repeated comment of retiring
APS presidents has been: “The Society is in great health, but this does not mean that it
could not be better.”
It seems appropriate to close this treatise with a few more examples from the many
developments in governance, volunteerism, and member services of the Society that
have not been mentioned to this point but are historically interesting or significant. The
APS Manual of Operations, with job descriptions for each of the officers, councilors, and
directors and chairs of boards and committees, has gone through several revisions and
expansions since the first manual developed in 1975 under President James Tammen.
Larry Madden referred to the description in the Manual of Operations of his duties
as APS president in 1997 as “two pages (in small print).” The highly successful but
relatively short-lived APS Members Breakfast and Business Meeting debuted in 1994
at the Albuquerque meeting. The 1995 Members Breakfast and Business Meeting came
to a close with the presentation to the Society by President Sue Tolin of a new gavel
case handcrafted from native Virginia black walnut by Floyd County, VA, artisans Tom
and Moss Baldwin. The lid cover is engraved with the APS Seal, and the inside bears a
plaque engraved with the words: “Facing the Issues. Presented by Sue Ann Tolin, 1995.”
It also bears the inscription found on the original tattered cardboard gavel box: “The
Symbol of Leadership.” The gavel itself is engraved with the words: “Presented by W. C.
Snyder to S. E. A. McCallan” (Snyder and McCallan were APS presidents in 1960–61
and 1961–62, respectively). The 1995 meeting also featured the third annual “First
Timers’ Orientation,” in which President-Elect W. Fry welcomed new members, overseas
registrants, and first-time meeting attendees, offering ideas on how to network and
become involved at the meeting. An APS Governance Committee was formed in 2000
“to examine the governance structure of APS and make recommendations for possible
changes.” The first Friend of APS awards, established by the Society to recognize service
to APS and plant pathology by nonmembers, were given in 2004 to Kenneth Frazier,
Director of the University of Wisconsin Library System, and George W. Korch, U.S.
Department of Homeland Security. And most appropriately, the first APS Outstanding
Volunteer awards, established by Council in 2004, were given in 2005 to Joyce Loper
and Donald White.
Acknowledgments
I am especially grateful to Paul Peterson, APS Historian, for our many discussions and exchanges by phone and e-mail, for his help
in familiarizing me with the APS Archives held at Iowa State University, and for his helpful suggestions with the organization of this
review. I also thank José Amador for his help with the history of the formation of the Caribbean Division of APS; Ray Tarleton for
helpful conversations and e-mail exchanges; Melissa Gottwald, Park Library, Iowa State University, for her help in arranging selected
files of the APS collection for my review; staff at APS Headquarters, particularly Steve Nelson, Michelle Bjerkness, and Greg Grahek,
for their help in providing annual reports and many of the details; James MacDonald, Jaqueline Fletcher, and Christopher Mundt for
their helpful comments on the manuscripts; and Paul Peterson and Cleora J. D’Arcy for their reviews of the manuscript.
The factual information in this treatise came mainly from past annual reports of the Society and the APS collections held at the
Park Library at Iowa State University in Ames (http://www.lib.iastate.edu/spcl/manuscripts/MS175.html). Several large files of
correspondence dating from the 1950s and left by George Fischer with the Washington State University Department of Plant
Pathology also proved very useful.

APS Centennial
Oral History Project
Darin M. Eastburn
Department of Crop Sciences
University of Illinois, Urbana
he idea of compiling an oral history in video format as part of the
APS 2008 Centennial celebration was conceived by two members
of the Centennial Planning Committee, Rose Gergerich and
Paul Peterson. Because I have some interest and experience in video
production, I was asked by Cleo D’Arcy, chair of the committee, to oversee
the project.
Rose, Paul, and I had several discussions on what the format and content of
the project might be. Using examples of efforts by other societies as models, we
finally decided to compile a series of six, 20-minute video segments, wherein a
distinguished member of the society would be interviewed by another member on
the topic of their mutual area of expertise. The number and length of the segments were
determined, in part, by the limitations of the DVD medium on which we planned to
distribute the project, and the desire to have the segments short enough to be convenient
for teaching purposes. That left us with the task of selecting the six topics to be covered,
as well as the interviewers and interviewees for each topic.
Seeking broad consensus on the selection of topics and interview participants, we decided
to solicit input from prominent members of APS. We compiled a list of distinguished
members, including past presidents of the Society, Society award winners, and members
of the National Academy of Sciences. I then asked these individuals to suggest topics to
cover, a prominent APS member suitable to be interviewed on that topic, and a colleague
to be the interviewer. We received many excellent suggestions for topics and participants,
and were left with the task of selecting only six topics from a list of over 20. We ended
up focusing on the foundation of plant pathology, the four pathogen groups (bacteria,
fungi, nematodes, and viruses), along with the role of Extension plant pathology, and
the history of the Society from the perspective of the headquarters staff. We then sifted
through the lists of suggestions for potential interviewees and interviewers to develop a
short list for each topic. The list of potential topics and participants was presented to and
approved by the APS Centennial Planning Committee.
As is historically appropriate, given that the first identified plant pathogen was a fungus
(sensu lato), the first interview recorded was on the topic of mycology and its role in
the discipline of plant pathology and the history of APS. APS and the Mycological
Society of America were scheduled to hold a joint meeting in the summer of 2006, so
we decided to take that opportunity to conduct our first interview. Charles Mims and
Lori Carris were adventurous enough to step up and set the tone for the remainder of
the interviews. At the 2006 meeting in Quebec City, we also recorded the interview of
José Amador by Tom Zitter, covering the topic of Extension plant pathology. Recording
sessions with Terry Niblack interviewing Ken Barker on the topic of nematology and
Jan Leach interviewing Anne Vidaver on the topic of bacteriology were conducted at the
joint meeting with the Society of Nematologists in San Diego in 2007. The interviews
of Ray Tarleton by Steve Nelson on the history of APS headquarters, and of Milt Zaitlin
by Karen-Beth Scholthof on the topic of virology, were recorded in Tucson, Arizona and
Ithaca, New York respectively, in the fall of 2007.
Each interview lasted for over an hour, and selecting the pieces for the 20-minute
segments was not easy, as I found all of the material to be very interesting. Because of
the importance of preserving the interviews as a whole, longer versions of each interview
have been deposited in the APS archives. We also realize that these six topics do not
adequately encompass the breadth of the discipline of plant pathology, so we hope that
this project will serve as a model for recording oral histories from APS members on a
wide range of topics in the future.

While interviewing prominent members of APS on important topics in plant
pathology was an amazing opportunity, it was also my contention that the American
Phytopathological Society is made up of a wide range of people at various stages in
their careers with many interesting stories of their own. Focusing only on the stars of
our discipline would present an inadequate depiction of the functions and benefits of
our Society. Giving all members a chance to tell their stories about their lives as plant
pathologists, their relationships with mentors and colleagues, and the role that APS has
played in their careers would be an invaluable addition to the Centennial Oral History
Project. So at both the 2006 and 2007 annual meetings in Quebec City and San Diego,
we gave all who were brave enough to step in front of a camera a chance to tell their
stories. These shorter interviews were edited and have been provided in DVD format as
part of the Oral History Project.
I want to thank all of the APS members who were willing to share their time,
