Biographical history
Charles Fuller Baker was born on March 22, 1872, in Lansing, Michigan.
He was an American entomologist, botanist, agronomist, plant collector, and educator. He received his training from Michigan Agricultural College and taught in various states like Colorado, Alabama, and Missouri before settling in California, where he earned his Master's degree from Stanford University in 1903. After teaching at Pomona College for a short while, he travelled to Cuba and Brazil to conduct fieldwork and teach. He returned to Pomona College for a few more years before accepting a position as a Professor of Agriculture at the University of the Philippines in 1913. In 1918, he became the Dean of the University's College of Agriculture, a position he held until his death. Although he wasn't a professional entomologist, his work in that field was promising, and he left a significant contribution to the United States National Museum, which received his collection after his passing.
He died on July 22, 1927, in Manila, Philippines.
