Biography
American naturalist and agronomist who trained at Michigan Agricultural College and was employed as Assistant Entomologist at the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station in Fort Collins. In 1912 he moved to the Philippines and was Professor and Dean of the College of Agriculture at Los Baños. He was also a staff member of the Botanic Gardens in Singapore and temporarily appointed acting Assistant Director (1917). His personal mycological herbarium was bequeathed to PNH but destroyed during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during the Second World War. The genera Bakeromyces Syd. & P. Syd. and Bakerophoma Died. were named in his honour.
