BACKGROUND NOTE

The Departmental Histories is a collection of departmental histories, written by a variety of departmental representatives during 1957-58. These narratives offer good insight into the early history of the departments represented here. Unfortunately, not all South Dakota State University departments are represented in this collection.

SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE

The depth of the material varies greatly, as does the size. The Foreign Languages departmental history is in three parts and is divided into three file folders. The Animal Husbandry departmental history, on the other hand, consists only of one sheet of paper. While by no means complete, this collection offers a nice accompaniment to the departmental histories written during the Centennial year of the college, and to the published histories of the college.

ARRANGEMENT of the RECORDS

Folders are arranged in alphabetical order.
