(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Frederick Charles Newcombe was an American botanist, and the first editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Botany. Newcombe was born in Flint, Michigan, May 11, 1858, to parents Thomas and Eliza Newcombe, who had emigrated from England in 1848. His early education was obtained in the public schools of Flint. From 1880 to 1887 he taught in the Michigan School for the Deaf at Flint. In 1887 he entered the University of Michigan, and was graduated Bachelor of Science in 1890. He was immediately appointed Instructor in Botany at the university. The year 1892-1893 was spent at the University of Leipzig, where he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the end of the year. He returned to Ann Arbor to become Acting Assistant Professor of Botany in the university. Two years later he became assistant professor of botany, and in 1897 Junior Professor. In 1905 he was made Professor of Botany.
