Dr. Marcus Stanley Zuber was born January 10, 1912 in Gettysburg, South Dakota to John and Mary Maas Zuber. He received a bachelor's degree in agriculture from South Dakota State University in Brookings and a master's degree and doctorate, both in agronomy, both from Iowa State University in Ames. He was professor emeritus of agronomy at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He was employed as a research agronomist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture form 1946-1970 and was stationed at MU.

Dr. Zuber was well known for his contributions to corn breeding. His development of tools and techniques and genetically improved populations or inbreds resulting from his research was released to hybrid corn breeders for utilization and improvement of hybrids grown by farmers. Corn inbred lines released from his USDA-ARS project at the University of Missouri, especially Mo17, contributed to the rapid adoption of single-cross corn hybrids having wide adaptability. His development of techniques for measurement or root and stalk strength provide more effective selection tools for hybrid and population improvement, and are now applied in public and private breeding programs.

The exchange relationship between South Dakota State University and Yunnan Normal University was conceived by Dr. David Hilderbrand when he toured China with a group of chemistry professors in 1985. Dr. Hilderbrand met Professor Xie (pronounced Hsieh) from Yunnan Normal University. From this acquaintance, the idea evolved for collaboration to benefit faculty members and students. Consequently, an agreement to exchange professors for one term was developed and signed by university officials in 1986.

Yunnan Normal University President Wu Jicai and Yu Yanjin, head of the Foreign Affairs office, visited SDSU in 1987. (A schedule of events for their visit with a photograph of the visitors is included in this file.) / Fall term of that year, a professor from each university was on site as an exchange teacher at the partner institution. Other visitors and exchange professors followed. A list of the individuals who were exchange professors and family members who accompanied them is attached.

Following their teaching assignments in China, SDSU faculty members wrote reflections that were compiled into documents by the Office of Academic Affairs. The documents, which were updated and reissued in total, are as follows: / Visiting China, March 1989; Visiting China, October 1988, October 1990; China Exchange Program, October 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992; China Exchange Program, October 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992; July 1996.

The original submittals along with correspondence and other examples of the experiences are found in a separate folder entitled "Reflections."

The reports written by exchange professors Dr. Diane Rickerl (REFLECTIONS by DR. DIANE RICKERL at Yunnan Normal University Fall 1996) and Dr. Howard Woodard (Report on China Visit) following their exchange experiences in 1996 and 1997 were not published but are included with this collection.

Dr. Lyle Olson, exchange professor in 2001 published newspaper articles written during the exchange experience in a book "Cross-Cultural Adventure: A South Dakota Family in China" which accompanies these archival materials.

Dr. Robert Wagner, President of South Dakota State University, visited Yunnan Normal University in the summer of 1988. Other SDSU visitors at CNU, in addition to exchange professors, included Ms. MaryJo Lee who, accompanied by her husband Dr. Richard Lee, and their son, Douglas Lee, conducted research at YNU in the summer of 1997 (see separate RESEARCH REPORT). Ms. Harriet Swedlund, Director of International Programs, also visited briefly in June 1997.

A delegation from Yunnan Normal University came to South Dakota in September 1999. While on campus, signatures were placed on a revised agreement extending the relationship. See YUNNAN NORMAL UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL VISIT, a separate report of events of this visit.

The SDSU Office of International Programs, collaborating with the Foreign Affairs office at YNU, twice conducted Seminar Abroad in China. A group of 17 from SDSU led by President Peggy Gordon Miller, Provost and Vice President Carol J. Peterson and Dr. David Hilderbrand traveled to Kunming in 2000. A group of 7 faculty members led by David and Jan Evans with one student traveled in 2002. Reports of their activities are included with the collection of China material.

Steven Wingate (b. 1964) is a wide-ranging author whose literary output spans multiple genres from traditional fiction to invented form poetry and interactive digital works. Born on March 26, 1964 in Hackensack, New Jersey, he earned a B.A. in English from the University of Massachusetts at Boston in 1987 and an M.F.A. in Film/Television from Florida State University in 1991. He began his teaching career at the University of Colorado-Boulder in 1995 as an adjunct in the Film Studies Program, then became a full-time instructor in the Program for Writing and Rhetoric in Fall 2001. After a year as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at the College of the Holy Cross, he joined South Dakota State University as Assistant Professor of English in Fall 2011.

Wingate’s first book—the short story collection Wifeshopping, which received the Bakeless Prize in Fiction from Bread Loaf Writers Conference at Middlebury College—was published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2008. It was translated into Bulgarian in 2012. Next came the prose poem chapbook The Birth of Trigonometry in the Bones of Olduvai (2013) and the full-length invented form collection Thirty-One Octets: Incantations and Meditations (2014). By then his creative attention had turned to interactive digital projects, starting with daddylabyrinth: a digital lyric memoir (2014) which premiered at the Art/Science Museum of Singapore. Then followed the interactive video Talk with Your Hands like an Ellis Island Mutt (2015), which premiered in Hong King, and the interactive romance novel Love at Elevation (2018), which was published by Choice of Games and distributed internationally on multiple gaming platforms.

After this Wingate returned to fiction with his novel Of Fathers and Fire (2019), published by the University of Nebraska Press as part of its Flyover Fiction Series, which focuses on the literature of the American Great Plains. He followed this up with a second novel, The Leave-Takers (2021), which is also part of the same series. He retired as Professor in the School of English and Interdisciplinary Studies in 2025 and moved to Northfield, MN with his wife Jennifer—who holds both an M.Ed. and and M.A. from South Dakota State University—and sons Lucas and Landon, who both attend St. Olaf College.
