In 1911, in addition to assuming the deanship of forestry he organized the Agricultural Division at Syracuse University.
Bray published The Development of the Vegetation of New York State in 1915. The same year, he became one of the founding members—along with Raphael Zon and James W. Toumey—of the Ecological Society of America. In 1950, the 1917 "activist wing" of that Society formed today's The Nature Conservancy. Bray remained at Syracuse University until 1943, as Chair of Botany and later as Dean of the Graduate School.
