William Carter Stubbs

William Carter Stubbs (7 December 1843 – 7 July 1924) was an American chemist and sugar industry researcher who worked in Alabama and Louisiana.

During the American Civil War, he served as a cavalryman in the Confederate States Army under Fitzhugh Lee in the 24th Virginia Cavalry.

The Audubon Sugar School begun in 1891 offered a course in agriculture under Charles E. Coates which included engineering and chemistry but it was closed in 1896[4] and the course taken over by the Louisiana State University.

[5] The Louisiana State University named a hall on the campus in Baton Rouge after Stubbs.

Since he was reliant on the exploitative system of sharecropping involving coerced black farm workers who had to bear generational poverty and physical abuse, the use of his name was considered inappropriate under LSU Policy Statement 70.
