Biographical Sketch of Elvin C. Stakman (1885-1979)
Elvin C. Stakman, B.A. (1906), M.A. (1910), Ph.D. (1913) University of
Minnesota. Professor (1913-1953) and head of the Department of Plant Pathology
(1940-1953), University of Minnesota. United States Department of Agriculture
agent, head of the federal government's South American rubber expedition
(1940-1941), consultant to the Rockefeller Foundation, member of the executive
committee of the National Science Board, delegate to UNESCO, member of the
advisory committee for biology and medicine for the U.S. Atomic Energy
Commission (1947-1953). World renowned expert in the field of barberry
eradication and cereal rust diseases.
E.C. Stakman was born May 17, 1885 in Algoma, Wisconsin to Frederick
and Amelia Stakman. The family moved to Brownton, Minnesota when Stakman was
five. When Stakman’s father died in the late 1890s, Stakman, his sister Edna,
and his mother moved to St. Paul, where Amelia was employed as a teacher.
Stakman graduated from Cleveland High School in East St Paul in 1902 and
entered the University of Minnesota that same year. After graduating in 1906
with a degree in science, Stakman pursued a career in education, serving as a
teacher, coach and ultimately superintendent of schools in Red Wing, Mankato
and Argyle, Minnesota respectively.
Educational methods and philosophy would continue to be a part of
Stakman’s professional writing and practice throughout his life, and he would
act as a mentor to hundreds of students throughout the course of his long
teaching career. Stakman returned to the University of Minnesota in 1909, where
he entered the Ph.D. program in Plant Pathology. In 1911, he took a brief leave
from the University to apprentice in the US Department of Agriculture,
returning to the University to finish his doctorate in 1913. Stakman earned the
first doctorate awarded in the University’s fledgling Plant Pathology
Department, then titled the Department of Plant Pathology and Agricultural
Botany. During the same year he became an Assistant Professor in the Department
headed by his mentor and advisor Dr. E.M. Freeman.
In 1914, Stakman began his long professional association with the
United States Department of Agriculture, heading rust epidemiology studies in
the USDA Lab, and serving there in consultative capacities until 1955.
Appointed Instructor in Plant pathology in 1909, Stakman became Head
of the Plant Pathology section in 1913. In addition to his classroom teaching,
Stakman embarked on research that would define his career and influence two
generations of plant scientists. In 1917, Stakman and several other scientists
and field workers traveled to the American west and south to record the life
cycle of wheat rusts. In 1918, Stakman was appointed by the US Department of
Agriculture to head a national program aimed at eradicating the Common Barberry
bush. The bush was critical to rust reproduction, and Stakman was charged with
overseeing both the field component of eradication and public information about
the initiative. Stakman continued to research, write and speak on wheat rust
throughout his career, and it was listening to a Stakman lecture on wheat rust
entitled “The Shifting Enemy” that influenced Norman Borlaug to switch from
Forestry to Plant Pathology as his research focus in order to study with
Stakman.
During his tenure at the University, Stakman traveled extensively as
a visiting professor and consultant. In 1930, Stakman began a decade-long
association with the Firestone Company. Stakman visited Liberia, and later
northwestern South America surveying land and assessing the viability of
reestablishing rubber plantations in their native environment. In 1941, Stakman
joined the Rockefeller Foundation Survey Commission to study Mexican corn and
wheat crops. The Commission’s findings and recommendations would lead to the
establishment of the Mexican Agriculture Program (MAP) that formed the
foundation for “Green Revolution” plant breeding practices. In the US, Stakman
organized the Federal Cereal Rust Laboratory and participated in the
establishment of International Rust Nurseries. Stakman was also appointed to
the Atomic Energy Commissions Advisory Committee for Biology and Medicine from
1947-1953.
After retiring from the University in 1953 as professor emeritus,
Stakman was hired by the Rockefeller Foundation as a Special Consultant for
Agriculture, where he worked on science research and education
institution-building. Stakman’s travels took him repeatedly to South Asia, East
Asia, Europe, Central and South America, South Africa and Europe throughout the
1950s through the 1970s. E.C. Stakman authored over 300 scholarly articles and
held a numerous offices in scientific organizations. He served in every
significant position in the American Phytopathological Society, including
President in 1922 and Associate Editor and Editor in Chief of the Association
journal,
Phytopathology, from 1916 to 1929. In
1948, he was elected president of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science, and served on the board of the National Science Foundation from
1950-1954 and as a member of the Atomic Energy Commission 1948-1954.
He received honorary doctorates from the Universities of
Halle-Wittenberg, Yale, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Cambridge
(England), and numerous honorary memberships in learned societies in the United
States and abroad. In an appreciation of Stakman, published in 1979, a
colleague noted that Stakman’s career was composed of three distinct facets:
“…He was a superb scientific investigator; later he was a [powerful] teacher;
and finally he was an international humanitarian.” (R.R. Nelson,
Aurora Sporialis, May 17, 1979). The
University of Minnesota recognized Stakman’s influence on the University and
the field of plant pathology by naming the building housing Plant Pathology on
the St Paul Campus Stakman Hall. The E.C. Stakman Award is given to a scientist
from any country for achievement in plant pathology in the areas of teaching,
research, outreach or international development.
Charles Elvin Stakman died in St Paul at the age of 93 on January
22nd, 1979.
Collection Scope and Content Note
The collection documents the life and career of Elvin Charles Stakman,
noted plant pathologist, teacher and international agricultural advisor. Of
particular interest is the extensive collection of field notes, reports,
correspondence, colored maps and photos of wheat rust research and the
resultant barberry eradication efforts Stakman lead pre- and post- WWI;
teaching materials from Stakman’s career as professor of plant pathology at the
University of Minnesota, including seminar notes, student papers and tributes,
and bibliographies; and extensive correspondence with plant scientists
associated through the Rockefeller Foundation with the “Green Revolution” and
with students and agricultural scientists in business and the academy. Also of
note is correspondence between Stakman and J.G. Harrar and Stakman and Norman
Borlaug. Portion of the correspondence are in Spanish or German, as Stakman was
fluent in both languages. Other materials include photographs of Stakman during
national and international travel, speeches, conference papers, news clippings,
reports, drafts of papers, field notes, notebooks, planners and date books,
awards and certificates, an extensive oral history transcription, logs from
student seminars and departmental tributes. A segment of student papers from
the Plant Pathology seminar are also included.
The collection is arranged into eight series: Series I, Biographical,
contains written biographies of Stakman produced over the course of his life
and career, as well as a multi-volume transcript of a Stakman oral history
conducted by the Rockefeller Foundation. Series II, Correspondence, contains
two subseries, Rockefeller-Foundation related correspondence and Personal
correspondence. These two subseries retain much of their original arrangement
and labeling scheme, although the Personal correspondence section contains
information about Stakman’s work and research. As Stakman was consulting with
the Rockefeller Foundation during a thirteen year period while he was also head
of the University of Minnesota Plant Pathology department, and maintained an
office at the University during his long tenure with the Foundation, users may
wish to consult both subseries for information about Stakman’s work from 1940
onward. Where-ever possible, correspondence with Norman Borlaug is noted at the
folder level in both subseries. Series III, Plant Pathology Department and
USDA, contains Stakman’s materials from the Rust Research and Barberry
Eradication programs conducted between 1913 and 1922, with additional materials
on the Cereal Rust Laboratory; Plant Pathology Course descriptions, syllabi and
student papers, and research Stakman conducted on rubber plant cultivation
prior to World War II. Series IV, Professional Activities, contains
publications from the War Emergency Committee of the American Phytopathological
Society, of which Stakman was a prominent member; materials from symposia and
professional conferences Stakman attended or participated in, and drafts of
speeches Stakman delivered to a variety of professional audiences. Series V
contains honoraria and other awards. Series VI contains photos of Stakman taken
throughout his career and in various parts of the world. Series VII,
Miscellaneous, contains a small collection of papers and notes belonging
Stakman’s wife, Louise Jensen Stakman, as well as a retirement citation given
to Laura Hamilton, Stakman’s long-time aide and scheduler. Series VIII consists
of multiple bound volumes of Stakman’s collected publications.
