He was founder of the Southern Appalachian Botanical Club and editor of its journal, Castanea, for thirty-five years.

He graduated from Morgantown High School and taught in rural schools from 1920 to 1923.
He then attended WVU, earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1926 and a Master of Arts in 1928.
He was a teacher and professor at West Virginia University (WVU) from 1928 to 1972.

Core was named botanist for the Colombia Cinchona Mission, Bogota, Colombia, from 1943 to 1945 during which assignment he explored in the Andes Mountains in search of wartime sources of quinine from the Cinchona tree.
In the course of his career, Core authored numerous technical articles, several books, and hundreds of newspaper articles.
Two notable textbooks that became standards were General Biology, co-authored by Core, P.D. Strausbaugh, and B.R. Weimer, and A New Manual for the Biology Laboratory, co-authored with Weimer.
