Description

William Carol Latta was the 13th member of the Purdue faculty. He became the driving force behind Purdue’s world-famous School of Agriculture and initiated extension services that have lasted for more than a century. In 1890, he laid out the first permanent soil fertility field experiments, inaugurating a system of research considered one of the best in the country at that time. He administered Purdue’s School of Agriculture until 1907.
