Arthur, J.C.

▪ American botanist
in full  Joseph Charles Arthur  
born Jan. 11, 1850, Lowville, N.Y., U.S.
died April 30, 1942, Lafayette, Ind.

      American botanist who discovered basic facts about the parasitic fungi known as rusts.

      Graduated from what is now Iowa State University, Ames, in 1872, Arthur received his doctorate at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., in 1886. In 1887 he became professor of botany at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind., where he served until 1915. During his professorship at Purdue he was also a professor in the Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station, and it was during this period that he made his chief contributions on the life history of rusts. From 1882 to 1900 he was an editor of the Botanical Gazette.

      Arthur wrote many articles on botanical subjects and published a Handbook of Plant Dissection, with Charles R. Barnes and John M. Coulter (1886), Living Plants and Their Properties, with Daniel T. MacDougal (1898), and Manual of the Rusts in United States and Canada (1934).
