Abstract
In the late 1930s, the US Department of Agriculture was moving to advanced statistical methods for the collection and analysis of data. By chance, early in 1940 a leading USDA statistician, W. F. Callander, was traveling on the same train as the President of the Consolidated University of North Carolina, Frank Porter Graham. During their conversation, Callander described the need to establish a statistical center in the south. Graham, who had always been supportive of the College of Agriculture at NC State College, responded We'll do it at North Carolina State College.
