Biography:
Born near Wabash, Nebraska, on 23 April 1882, Raymond John Pool was the third of five
brothers. He attended public school for a time in Plattsmouth and then completed his high school
education at Weeping Water, Nebraska. Pool served in the 1st Infantry, Company D, of the
Nebraska National Guard from 1901 to 1903, and he received an honorable discharge with the rank
of 1st Lieutenant. During high school he met Charles Bessey, the noted Nebraska botanist and
founder of the University of Nebraska's Botany Department. This early meeting and subsequent
encouragement from his parents, William and Mary Pool, convinced Pool to pursue his interests in
botany and forestry. Pool attended the University of Nebraska where, under the tutelage of
Charles Bessey, he received his A.B. in 1907, A.M. in 1908, and Ph.D. in 1913. While attending
the University of Nebraska, Pool met Martha (May) Strangland, whom he married on 30 June
1909.
Pool spent his career teaching botany at the University, beginning as an instructor of botany
in 1907. In 1911, Pool became an assistant professor and curator of the University Herbarium.
The University promoted him to Professor of Botany in 1914. Following Charles Bessey's death in
1915, Pool became Chairman of the Botany Department, a position he held until his retirement in
1948. Besides teaching at UNL, Pool taught at the University of Michigan's Biological Station in
1910. He also taught at Colorado State Teachers College in the summers from 1922 to 1924. After
his retirement from UNL, Pool taught as a visiting professor at the University of Illinois,
Carbondale, from 1955 to 1956.
Besides teaching, Pool had various other botanical and related scientific pursuits. He served
as the Director of the State Botanical Survey of Nebraska from 1907 to 1948. Some of his early
research focused on the effects of air pollution on plant growth. He served as a consultant to
several large organizations engaged in smelting ores in the western United States, Canada, and
Mexico. In 1920, the Federal Court in Utah appointed Pool to the Salt Lake Smelter Commission,
where he examined the effects of air pollution on the Salt Lake Valley vegetation. Pool became
an official delegate to the Fifth International Botanical Congress at Cambridge University,
England, in 1930. He was active in a number of international, national, and local scientific
societies and organizations, including the Ecological Society of America, the American Society
of Plant Taxonomists, the Nebraska Academy of Sciences, Sigma Xi, and Phi Beta Kappa. Pool was a
Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and served as President of the
American Microscopical Society in 1941.
As a researcher and author, Pool wrote numerous articles and several books with vegetation as
a central theme. Some of his best-known works include Flowers and
Flowering Plants, Marching with the Grasses, and A Study of the
Vegetation of the Sandhills of Nebraska. He received numerous awards, including the
Lincoln Kiwanis Club Service Medal for Distinguished Service in 1954 and the Sons and Daughters
of Nebraska Distinguished Service Medal in 1961. Posthumously, Pool was elected to the Builders
of Nebraska Hall of Fame.
Pool died at the age of 84 on 2 February 1967.
Scope and Content:
The papers of Raymond J. Pool relate to his work as a botanist and professor at the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln. The collection contains correspondence, manuscripts, and published
materials by Pool, as well as botanical sketches and resource materials, class and field notes,
and biographical items. Also included in the collection are photographs and negatives, lantern
slides, and glass plate negatives. Of particular interest are the field notes and photographic
materials related to his work on the Salt Lake Smelter Commission in 1920. The Pool papers
document the career of a noted American botanist and the changing environmental landscape of
Nebraska and parts of the western United States.

Series Description:
Series 1: Correspondence Boxes 1-2 The bulk of the correspondence is between Pool and various colleagues at other
institutions, as well as some amateur scientists, and generally relates to Pool's botanical
research. Included is Pool's correspondence within the University of Nebraska, as well as that
with family and friends. Of special interest is the correspondence from the 1920s dealing with
his work on the Salt Lake Smelter Commission. Other interesting items include a letter from
the American Institute of Sacred Literature (21 Feb. 1924) and a letter from the Tennessee
Evolution Case Fund (29 Sept. 1926) asking Pool to support their efforts in reconciling the
controversy over the theory of evolution.
Series 2: Manuscripts Boxes 2-6The manuscripts in this series consist of drafts of Pool's published articles and books, as
well as reports sent to various organizations and agencies, addresses, and speeches. Notable
manuscripts include Handbook of Nebraska Trees, Flowers and Flowering
Plants, and White Man Versus the Prairie. Also included
in this series is the 1926 report about his observations on the Salt Lake Smelter Commission.
Series 3: Articles and Reprints Boxes 6-8This series consists of published articles and reprints from various magazines and
professional journals. Bibliographies of Pool's works are also included in this series. The
published articles are arranged chronologically. For books written or edited by Pool, see
resources listed below.
Series 4: Class and Field Notes Boxes 8-11, OversizeThis section of the collection contains field notes from Pool's botanical surveys and other
research projects. Also included in this series are class notes taken by Pool as a student and
lecture notes he used while teaching classes at UNL. This series contains Pool's field notes
from the 1920 Salt Lake Smelter Commission project. There are also lists of publications that
would be of value to students studying taxonomy, specifically for North America.
Series 5: Botanical Sketches and Illustrations Boxes 11-16, OversizePool used a number of these sketches and illustrations in his published works. Some of the
sketches are hand drawn in pencil or ink while others are finalized reproductions. Other items
of interest are the tree root distribution charts from various counties in Nebraska and across
the Great Plains.
Series 6: Botanical Resource Materials Box 16This series contains a variety of botanical resource materials, including articles and
addresses by Charles Bessey and J. E. Weaver. A manuscript of Walter Kiener's master's thesis
is also included in this section. Kiener is another noted botanist and was a student of
Raymond Pool.
Series 7: Biographical and Miscellany Box 17, oversizeBiographical and genealogical materials are located in this series. Other items include
newspaper clippings, souvenir post cards from Pool's travels, and membership cards and
certificates from various organizations Pool took part in. This series also contains Pool's
1918 application for a U.S. Army commission.
Series 8: Photographs and Negatives Boxes 18-24, oversizeThe bulk of the photographic materials in this collection relate to Pool's botanical
research. Most of the photos were taken during Pool's travels through the western United
States and through Europe. Pool visited Colorado a number of times and took many photos of the
alpine vegetation. It was on one of these visits that he met Walter Kiener and convinced him
to come to UNL to study botany. Photographs of Pool and his wife are located in this series.
Of special interest are the photographs and negatives taken by Pool during his work on the
Salt Lake Smelter Commission from 1920. They show the effects of sulpher dioxide pollution on
area plant growth. Also of interest are the photographs and negatives from 1918 of the
Nebraska National Forest near Halsey, Nebraska. The last seven folders of this series contain
glass plate negatives. The lantern slides in this series consist entirely of images from
Nebraska between the years 1909 and 1912. Most of the images are of plants or landscapes and
are arranged alphabetically by county. Of special interest are two images of sod houses. The
bulk of the images come from Cherry and Thomas counties in Nebraska.
