BACKGROUND NOTE
The first catalog of the college, 1884-1885, listed
political economy as a course of instruction. Political economy was a
common 19th century composite subject, which included not
only political science and economics, but sociology as well. During the
1890's, departmental grouping began to be formed and political science
courses were included in a succession of departments. In 1905, the
Department of History and Political Science was created. This was the
administrative home for these two disciplines until they were split in
1967.
Today, political science courses are designed to achieve
several objectives: 1) convey the values and tradition of our democratic
governmental institutions and processes and encourage students to assert
their talents in preserving and nurturing those values and traditions
through participation in the body politic; 2) promote global awareness
and understanding; 3) engender critical thinking and a high proficiency
in communication skills; 4) serve the other social sciences as a cognate
field; 5) provide the student majoring in political science with
foundation and advanced courses in the many sub-disciplines of political
science which, in turn, will contribute to the student's intellectual
growth and occupational pursuits.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE
This collection is composed of records regarding
Municipal Institute held by the Political Science Department at South
Dakota State University as well as material regarding the International
Institute of Municipal Officials, the South Dakota Local Government
Institute, and records produced by the Department of Political Science.
The Departmental records are composed of pamphlets
and newsletters produced by the Department of Political Science over the
years.
The Municipal Institute records are composed of
information relating to the International Institute of Municipal Clerks,
as well as South Dakota’s Local Government Institute which was held

certification programs available through the IIMC, information on the

and a variety of sample city documents probably used for instructional
purposes.
