PRESIDENTIAL BIOGRAPHIES & SCOPE/CONTENT NOTES

HORACE E. STOCKBRIDGE (1890-1893)

Biography
The first president of North Dakota Agricultural College (NDAC), Horace E. Stockbridge, was also, at the age of 33, the youngest president.  He was born in Hadley, Massachusetts on May 19, 1857.  He attended Massachusetts Agricultural College, where he received his degree in 1878.  In 1880 he served as Assistant Chemist for the USDA, and in 1881 he was an instructor at Massachusetts Agricultural College.  He did his graduate work at Boston University in agricultural chemistry, and he received his PH.D. from the University of Goettingen, Germany, in 1884.

Following his studies, in 1884-85, he was an associate professor of chemistry at Massachusetts Agricultural College.  From 1885 to 1889 Stockbridge was employed as professor of chemistry and geology at the Japanese Imperial College of Agriculture and Engineering and was also chief chemist for the Japanese government for the latter two years.  Prior to coming to Fargo, Stockbridge was director of the Experiment Station at Purdue University in 1889.

 In 1890 Stockbridge was given the position of president of NDAC and director of the Experiment Station.  While at NDAC, Stockbridge was responsible for selecting the location of the college, appointing instructors, the constructing of buildings, and the organization of the experiment buildings.  He was also the designer of College Hall, which is now known as Old Main.  Stockbridge instituted special short winter courses for farmers in agriculture and related sciences, which were the first of their kind in the nation.  He left NDAC in 1893, due to political reasons, and subsequently moved to  Americus, Georgia.  In 1897 he accepted a position at Florida Agricultural College as professor of agriculture.  From 1906 to 1922 he was the agriculture editor for the Southern Ruralist, of which he was also co-founder.  In 1922 he began editing for the Southern Farmland and Dairy, which he did until his retirement due to poor health.  Horace Stockbridge died on October 30, 1930 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Stockbridge was a very accomplished individual.  He was president of the Farmer's National Congress for two years.  He also wrote several books on the chemistry of the soil.  While in Japan, he discovered a special fertilizer for growing hops, which saved large quantities of rice, a main staple in Japan, which was previously used in brewing.  He was the first to obtain petroleum from bituminous shale by distillation.  He discovered muscarine, a poisonous alkaloid, which is a product of decomposition.  While in Indiana, a team under his direction found the cause and treatment for potato scab.

Scope and Content
The papers of Horace E. Stockbridge entail only a copy of an address given by H. L. Walster before the Quarter Century Club of NDAC on May 13, 1957.  The address outlined the beginnings of NDAC and Stockbridge as the college's first president.

JAMES B. POWER (1893-1895)

Biography
James B. Power was born in New York and educated in Massachusetts.  He studied civil engineering, and he served as surveyor and civil engineer for several railroads.  He was deputy state treasurer for the state of Minnesota for four years.  In the 1880s he worked for the Northern Pacific Railway as chief clerk, and he later became land commissioner.  He aided in securing land from the Northern Pacific Railway for Island Park in Fargo.  Later, he was also land commissioner for the Great Northern Railway, where he was instrumental in selling and allotting up to the thousands of acres to bonanza farmers in the Red River Valley.  He retired in 1886 and settled on a farm in Richland County, where he developed purebred livestock.

Power was appointed by the Governor to the NDAC Board of Trustees.  In 1893 the Stockbridge administration was terminated at NDAC, and Power, along with H. R. Miller, was accused of misappropriation of funds.  The two were charged with using the college as a market for goods from their own farms, and they were removed and replaced by Governor Shortridge.  However, a court decision held that the original members of the Board were entitled to hold their positions until the end of their term in 1895.  During the last two years of his term, Power was acting president of NDAC.  Power resigned on June 25, 1895.

Scope and Content
The papers of  James B. Power include annual reports to the Bureau of Education and correspondence regarding  the appointment of John B. Shepperd as professor of agriculture.
 

JOHN WORST (1895-1916)

Biography
John Worst was born in a log cabin in Ohio on December 23, 1850.  He alternated attending college with teaching in district schools and received an honorary LL.D. degree from Ashland College.  He homesteaded in Emmons County, Dakota Territory in 1883.  There, he was elected county superintendent of schools for six years.  In 1889 he was elected and served two terms as state senator.  Worst became lieutenant governor of North Dakota in 1894 and presided over that year's senate session.

 In 1895 Worst was appointed president of NDAC.  Although Worst was not the first president of NDAC, he is regarded as the "Father of NDAC."  A considerable amount of progress was made during Worst's administration.  The number of students steadily increased, and the staff increased threefold.  Worst was successful in obtaining money from Andrew Carnegie in 1905 for the building of a campus library.  Ten new buildings were constructed on campus, as well as gardens and trees.  Political reasons are cited for Worst's retirement from NDAC in March of 1916.  He was made president emeritus on April 5, 1919 by the Board of Regents.

After leaving NDAC, Worst was editor for the New Rockford Daily State Center for one year.  From 1919 to 1923 he served as State Commissioner of Immigration and thereafter went into retirement.  He was active in politics, as a Republican, and he was editor of the Fairfield County Republican, in Ohio, for two years.  He served as president of the Tri-State Grain and Stock Grower's Association, in Fargo, for sixteen years.  He was a 33rd degree Mason and was also a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Elks.  Worst passed away on September 25, 1945 in San Marino, California.

Scope and Content
The papers of  John Worst include annual reports to the Bureau of Education; correspondence during and after his time in office; biographical material; reports and speeches given in relation to agriculture; minutes of meetings; and general pamphlets, brochures, and news clippings.

JOHN B. SHEPPERD (1929-1937)

Biography
John B. Shepperd was born on a farm in Lucas County, Iowa on January 12, 1869.  He was a graduate of Iowa Agricultural College and received a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science from Iowa State College in 1891.  He did his graduate work in dairy at the University of Wisconsin and received a Masters of Science in Agriculture in 1893.  He was assistant editor of the Orange Judd Farmer, a weekly journal published in Chicago, for one year. He received an honorary doctorate from Iowa State College in 1928.

Shepperd was appointed professor of agriculture at NDAC in 1893, where he also conducted research at the Experiment Station and taught math in the preparatory department.  In 1904 he was made Dean of the School of Agriculture at NDAC, Vice Director of the Experiment Station in 1905, and by 1906, Shepperd was also head of three departments.  From 1915 to 1929 Shepperd was head of the department of animal husbandry.  In 1929 Shepperd was made acting president of NDAC, and the position was made permanent in March of 1930.  This was a tumultuous time on campus.  The crash of 1929 resulted in reduced staff, salaries, and operating budgets.  Because of differences between Shepperd and the Board of Administration, Shepperd resigned in 1937, and was made president emeritus in July of that year.  This precipitated the Purge of 1937, when, in an attempt to gain administrative control over the college, the Board of Administration also discharged seven of the senior staff at NDAC.  In turn, the Purge resulted in the loss of the college's academic accreditation.

Shepperd was president of the Fargo Kiwanis Club for several years.  He also had many interests regarding livestock.  In 1910 he participated in the New Salem Breeding Circuit.  In 1927 and 1929 he was Grand Champion of the International Livestock Exposition.  From 1906 to 1938 he was the supervisor of the Collegiate Livestock Judging Contest at the International Livestock Exposition.  His portrait was hung in the Chicago Saddle and Sirloin Club in 1921.

Scope and Content
The papers of John B. Shepperd include presidential correspondence; correspondence regarding night school, College Extension classes, high school correspondence courses, and library affairs; a copy of the Constitution of NDAC; and miscellaneous reports and documents.

Biography
John C. West was acting president of NDAC in 1937, after Shepperd's resignation, until August of 1938.  West was, at that time, president of the University of North Dakota.  West was born and educated in Minnesota.  He attended St. Cloud Teacher's College, received a BA from Fargo College in 1915, an MS and a doctorate in education from UND in 1926 and 1930, respectively.  West returned to his presidency at UND after a new president was appointed at NDAC in 1938.

Eversull's presidency at NDAC followed in the wake of the Purge of 1937.  His first major task was to regain accreditation for the college.  He was successful, and NDAC was re-accredited on March 23, 1939.  Other dilemmas that Eversull also had to deal with were shortages and other problems during World War II, and then the return of veterans, resulting in overcrowding on campus.  Eversull also aided in establishing several programs at NDAC: Officer Candidate School, the Air Corp Administration School, and the Army special training program.  He resigned in May of 1946, and went to Seoul, Korea, where he was Chief of Colleges for the 24th US Corp Command for eight months.  Eversull returned to the United States and to the ministry, where he served in a pastorate in Belleville, Illinois, for nine years before his retirement in 1957.  Frank Eversull passed away in September of 1964.
