Born in Marion Center, Pennsylvania in 1910, F. Glade Loughry received his B.S. in Agronomy from Penn State University in 1931, an M.S. from Ohio State University in 1934, and a Ph.D. from Penn State University in 1960. Loughry worked at the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station from 1931-1933, was a soil scientist for the USDA Soil Conservation Service from 1934 to 1966, a soil and sanitation specialist for the Pennsylvania Department of Health from 1966-1971, and Chief of the Soil Science Unit of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources from 1971 to 1985. The collection contains papers and notes from high school; undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies; books from the library of his professor, Dr. Merkle; and bound professional publications and periodicals.
