Veitch, Senior Chemist, Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, Department of Agriculture) Fletcher Pearre Veitch papers, via ArchivesUM website, April 3, 2018 (Fletcher Pearre Vietch (1868-1943) was associated with Maryland Agricultural College, later Maryland State College of Agriculture and the University of Maryland, as a student and as an active alumnus. Veitch received a B.S. from Maryland Agricultural College in 1891 and then, except for a one-year stint with a Baltimore firm, served as chemist and soil physicist for the College and the Agricultural Experiment Station until 1901. Veitch's lifelong interest in the College and alumni affairs peaked in the years 1914-1917 when he served variously as member-at-large, vice-president, and president of the Maryland Agricultural College Alumni Association Executive Committee. A resident of College Park for most of his life, Veitch left the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station in 1901 to work for the United States Department of Agriculture. For the next 37 years, until retiring in 1938, Veitch worked in a number of USDA laboratories and bureaus as chemist and administrator. The chemist authored 275 bulletins and articles on agriculture, leather, and paper, and he was a member of a number of professional organizations and commissions.) |
