Dr. Guy Roger Spencer was born on June 22, 1916 in Whiting, Kansas and became interested in veterinary medicine as a result of the years he spent on the family farm. He received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Kansas State College in 1940 and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1949. In 1950 he came to Washington State University as a Professor and as Acting Chairman of the Department of Hygiene and Pathology. The next year he became Chairman of that department, which changed its name in 1954 to the Department of Veterinary Pathology. During the 1977-1978 school year Dr. Spencer retired to become Professor Emeritus of Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology (the two departments merged in 1976).

The papers of Guy Roger Spencer are arranged in two series which date from 1938 to 1978. The first series is an Alphabetical Subject File which contains correspondence, bulletins, notes, publications, photographs, de partmental files, memoranda, and other papers. Although the papers date from 1938 to 1978, the bulk of the papers date from 1960 to 1978. The series is arranged alphabetically by subject.

The second series, titled- "Research: Bibliographic Notes and Laboratory Notes" includes hand-punch cards and index cards, both of which contain bibliographic information collected by Dr. Spencer. In addition, one laboratory notebook, 1950-1960, has been added to the series.

Major correspondents in the papers include Dr. Spencer and Dr. Robert Wardell Leader (b. 1919). The major topics of the papers include Veterinary Pathology, and bibliographic citations in Veterinary Science.

This collection is open for research use.
