University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Agriculture: The First Century by Elvin F. Frolik and Ralston J. Graham

During most of its first century, the College of Agriculture/IANR of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has played a major role in improving the state's agriculture and home environment. The College/IANR is now widely respected by Nebraskans. But it struggled long and hard to gain acceptance by prospective students, by the citizens generally, by academia in the rest of the University, and by its chief beneficiaries -- agricultural and home economics interests.
This is the story of the struggles and accomplishments of the College/IANR during its first 100 years and of the people who made it possible.
This book consists of major parts, with a number of sections under a few of the parts, chapters, and appendixes. For the most part, chapters represent administrative units (past or present), major programs, topics of special interest or organizations. The history is treated from the beginning of the College to 1974 (end of the College in its former sense and the beginning of the IANR), and in some cases on beyond, in order to round out the narrative.
