SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE

This collection is composed of research on early Brookings County, South Dakota from circa 1870-1930., research on Hubert B. Mathews and his son Hubert Jean Mathieu, the Brookings County Democratic Party, South Dakota State University, and South Dakota towns along SD Highway 14. Also included are course notes from several of John Miller’s history courses taught at South Dakota State University.

The Brookings County research is composed of research gathered by John E. Miller from the Donald D. Parker Collection held at the Center for Western Studies, Augustana College, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Donald D. Parker was Head of the History Department at South Dakota State University from 1943-1965. Folders consist mainly of research on early Brookings County, South Dakota and covers the years from circa 1870-1930.

The Hubert B. Mathews and Hubert Jean Mathieu research is composed of research gathered by John E. Miller on Hubert B. Mathews and his son Hubert Jean Mathieu.

Hubert B. Mathews was born in Eagle Corners, Wisconsin in 1868. He came with his family to settle at Willow Lakes in Dakota Territory. He entered Dakota Agricultural College in Brookings in 1888. He graduated in 1892 and received his master’s degree in 1899. He accepted a position on the college staff in 1893. He became head of the physics Department, and was the first acting dean of the Division of Engineering. He was Vice President at South Dakota State College. H.B. Mathews coordinated much of the building work on the campus during the first half of the 20^th century. Mathews Hall, a dormitory on campus, is named in his honor. Professor Mathews served twice as the Mayor of Brookings from 1907-1910 and again from 1915-1917.

Hubert Jean Mathieu, son of Hubert B. Mathews, graduated from South Dakota State College in 1919. He then studied painting under Harvey Dunn. He became a very successful painter. He is known for his Our Democracy editorial cartoons that appeared in such magazines as the Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Ladies Home Journal, McCalls and Cosmopolitan in the 1940s. He changed the spelling of the family name back to the original French spelling of Mathieu, supposedly for art reasons. He used the name “Mat” as his signature on many of his works.

Folders consist of material on both Hubert B. Mathews and Hubert J. Mathieu. Because of their relationship as father and son and their similar names, researchers should look at each folder carefully to ensure the correct information is gathered as material for both men is interfiled. Included are drawing of the campus of South Dakota State University by Hubert J. Mathieu as well as several of the Our Democracy editorial cartoons. The notes file was complied by John E. Miller and includes a notebook and several homemade note cards. The photograph file consists only of one photocopied page of three photographs. These photographs are of both Hubert B. and Hubert J.

The Brookings County Democratic Party records are composed of material given to John E. Miller by Ruby Mershon. Ruby Mershon’s father, Paul, was county chairman of the Brookings Democratic Party during the 1950s. Folders contain clippings, campaign material, newsletters, financial material, programs, and sample ballots. Some items of note include an official program and souvenir banner commemorating the visit of President John F. Kennedy to St. Cloud, Minnesota in 1962.

The South Dakota State University: A pictorial history, 1881-2006 research is composed of research gathered by Dr. Miller in writing the book “South Dakota State University: a pictorial history, 1881-2006.” Folders consist mainly of photocopies of clippings, articles, and yearbooks etc. This series is arranged into sub-series based on how Dr. Miller arranged the chapters of the book. Researchers will find material related to all areas of the history of South Dakota State University, from activities, athletics and administration to buildings, Hobo Day, and alumni, students and faculty. Included are 24 audio cassettes.

The Looking for History of Highway 14 series is composed of composed of research gathered by John E. Miller for this book. This book takes readers on a tour down South Dakota’s historic “Black and Yellow Trail” or U.S. Highway 14 which spans South Dakota from its eastern border to the northern edge of the Badlands. The book highlights fifteen towns and Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Folders consist of research gathered while compiling chapters for this book and include newspapers, county history books, photographs, and notes by Miller.

The Course materials series is composed of notes by Miller for courses taught during his tenure as a faculty member of the History Department at South Dakota State University. The notes are for History 357: U.S. between the Wars and History 358: U.S. Since 1941.

The Collected research series is composed of various material collected over the years by Miller for various projects. Included is material related to the Coughlin Campanile at South Dakota State University, Brookings, S.D., South Dakota State University history, and research for a WPA guide to South Dakota. Material consists of notebooks, writings, publications, books, photographs and hand written notes by Miller. Also included is “Reminiscences of SDSU,” an essay written by Miller.
