Irving W. Bailey '07, retired professor of plant anatomy and internationally-renowned botanist, died Tuesday in Still-man Infirmary of a heart attack.
The 82-year-old Bailey, who retired from Harvard in 1955, was noted for his investigations of the structure and chemical content of higher plants, particularly trees.
Bailey was the author and administrator as well as a researcher. He wrote two books: one on plant anatomy and another on forestry.
His famous "Bailey report" of the 1940's led to a major reorganization of Harvard's botanical facilities.
Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Memorial Church.
