Excerpt from Entomological News, 1961, Vol. 72
A generation of students will remember Pate’s combined office and laboratory. One had to thread his way to the inner sanctum through a maze of insect storage cabinets and bookcases ar ranged as batfles. The air was blue from his chain-smoking, and cigarette ashes were dribbled liberally over the floor, tables and shirtfront of the occupant. These students also will remember the stimulating classroom and laboratory lectures that were made so vivid and meaningful by Pate’s broad knowledge of biological fundamentals and his ability to relate these to the particular subject of discussion.
