Born in Norwich, New York, he graduated from Syracuse University in 1895, and earned a PhD at Cornell in 1902. Between 1895 and 1910 he taught biology and botany at New York State Normal College, Rutgers University, New York University, and the University of Missouri, and was laboratory director at the New York Botanical Garden. He was called to direct the Brooklyn Botanical Garden in 1910, and under his directorship the Garden expanded its role in public education, especially children's education.
