Wilson Barnes received his Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering in 1937 and Master's degree in Chemical Engineering in 1938 from the University of Louisville; he received his Doctorate in Chemical Engineering in 1949 from Iowa State University. Dr. Barnes taught in the J.B. Speed School of Engineering from the late 1930s until 1950.

Materials also include coursework for Donald M. Bennett's class in experimental physics, which Barnes took as an undergraduate student and Dr. Barnes' wife, Genie's UofL sweater.
