In 1942, he received his Ph.D. in Plant Pathology from Iowa State College.

His significant accomplishments include organizing the first bulb growers short course in 1948, studying bulb diseases in the Netherlands as a Fulbright scholar in 1951, and organizing the first conference of turfgrass pathologists,as well as publishing nearly 350 articles dealing with various plant diseases. Dr. Gould retired from the WWREC in 1977. The following year Dr. Gould was named a Fellow in the American Phytopathological Society.
