Processing information: Ethel Austin Martin kept copious records of her involvement with the establishment of and ongoing management of the Ethel Austin Martin Program in Human Nutrition at South Dakota State University, and much of that material is found throughout this collection.
While much of the material in this collection was created by Ethel Austin Martin, also included were files of the Endowed Chair of the program. The processor tried to separate the Ethel Austin Martin material from the Endowed Chair material while maintaining original order, but because of Martin’s deep involvement with this program it is suggested that researchers search all aspects of this collection while conducting research on Ethel Austin Martin or the Ethel Austin Martin Program in Human Nutrition.

BACKGROUND NOTE Dr. Ethel Austin Martin graduated from SDSU in 1916 and went on to do graduate work at Columbia University and the University of Chicago. She taught at several institutions before joining the National Dairy Council in 1929, where she served as Director of Nutrition Services until her retirement. Dr. Martin was a distinguished nutritionist who was instrumental in developing research grant programs, instituting nutrition conferences, founding journals, and writing several nutrition textbooks. Before her death in 1993 at age 100, she established an endowment at South Dakota State University with the ultimate objective of providing for a permanent professorship to ensure continuing high-level instruction in the science of nutrition. Dr. Martin's goal was realized in 1997, when the Ethel Austin Martin Chair in Human Nutrition was established and subsequently filled by Dr. Bonny Specker. The purpose of the Ethel Austin Martin Program in Human Nutrition is to advance knowledge in the science of human nutrition through a multidisciplinary approach, to encourage practical applications in improving human health, and to offer professional enrichment in nutrition for all students, faculty and staff at SDSU. The advancement of knowledge in the science of human nutrition is takes place through both research and educational programs using a multidisciplinary approach. The E.A. Martin Program advances nutrition knowledge with these campus activities:
