Kansas State College, Instructor: Dr. McLeod & Student: Philliip E. Plumart--a binder of handouts & notes
The collection consists primarily of instructional and academic materials documenting Phillip E. Plumart’s education and teaching in poultry science from 1950 to 1989. Materials include binders of course handouts, lecture notes, quizzes, problem sets, and extensive typed responses prepared for poultry management courses at Kansas State College during the early 1950s. The collection also contains Plumart’s 1952 master’s thesis in poultry science, focused on the effects of sex linked feathering on chick growth and development. Additional materials document later instructional activity, including course materials from Poultry Management AS 366 at South Dakota State University in 1988, Extension related documentation such as a County 4 H Member Record System user guide, publications of the National 4 H Poultry Development Committee, and assorted poultry publications. The materials reflect both Plumart’s graduate level training and his later role as a faculty member and Extension specialist.
This collection documents mid twentieth century poultry science education and agricultural instruction through the academic work of Phillip E. Plumart. It provides detailed evidence of poultry management curricula, instructional methods, and applied research at Kansas State College during the early 1950s, as well as the continuation of poultry education and Extension work at South Dakota State University into the late twentieth century. The inclusion of Plumart’s master’s thesis and course development materials offers insight into the evolution of poultry science, agricultural pedagogy, and Extension programming, particularly in relation to poultry production, student training, and youth agricultural organizations such as 4 H.

This collection is composed primarily of publications produced by the Department of Animal Science at South Dakota State University. Materials include field day programs, research reports, newsletters, promotional materials, short course guides, and proceedings from symposia and professional meetings. Subjects represented span a wide range of animal science topics, including livestock and poultry production, animal husbandry, rangeland management, feed processing, animal welfare, and carcass evaluation. Events such as the Cottonwood Research Station Field Day, Livestock Feeders' Day, Poultry and Hatcherymen’s School, and the Beef Improvement Federation Symposium are documented, as well as student- and industry-focused materials such as scholarship notices and recruitment brochures.
These records provide insight into the research, outreach, and educational initiatives of SDSU’s Department of Animal Science, reflecting the department’s role in advancing livestock and rangeland practices in South Dakota and the region. The collection illustrates the university’s historical engagement with producers, students, and the broader agricultural community through practical education, scientific research, and public service.
