White, at present in charge of the department of floricul- ture of the Massachusetts Agricul- tural College, has been elected to the professorship of floriculture in the New York State College of Agricul- ture and the headship of the depart- ment. Professor White will take up his work at Cornell in September. The authorities expect to develop a very strong department of floriculture and to that end the old department of horticulture has been separated into three main divisions, namely, pomol- ogy, floriculture and vegetable-gar- dening, each one of these subjects be- ing represented in an independent de- partmental organization. Professor White was born in West Townsend, Massachusetts, in 1872, educated in the public schools of Rindge, New Hampshire, and the high school at Littleton, Massachu- setts, graduated from the Massachu- setts Agricultural College in 1895, and was for two years assistant horticul- turist in charge of the greenhouses of this college. He left there in 1897 to take charge of the greenhouses on the estate of the late Clement A. Griscom at Haverford, Pennsylvania. For two years following that he was engaged in commercial work in Ar- lington, Massachusetts. In 1899 he was appointed instructor in horticul- ture at the Baron de Hirsch school. Woodbine, New Jersey, where he re- mained for one year. For two years following this he was assistant pro- fessor of horticulture at the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College. In 1900 he was appointed professor of botany, forestry, and landscape archi- tecture at the Connecticut Agricul- tural College, where he remained un- til June, 1907, when he was appointed professor of floriculture at the Mas- sachusetts Agricultural College.
