This collection is composed of material related to the Centennial Celebration of South Dakota State University in 1981, Allen Barnes’ tenure as Dean of Arts and Sciences, and his leadership in establishing the Performing Arts Center on campus. The Centennial Celebration files (1980–1981) document numerous activities coordinated through the College of Arts and Sciences, including lectures, theatrical and musical performances, alumni engagement events, scholarship ceremonies, and historical retrospectives of academic departments from Aerospace Studies to ROTC. Correspondence, committee records, and planning documents provide insight into the university’s efforts to commemorate its 100th anniversary.

Records from Barnes’ service as Dean of Arts and Sciences (1965–1986) include speeches, planning for creative and international programming, academic initiatives, and a departmental band trip. These materials reflect his broad involvement in academic affairs, curriculum enhancement, and cross-cultural engagement.

A significant portion of the collection is devoted to the development of the SDSU Performing Arts Center (1970–1985), highlighting early conceptual work, documented needs in art, music, and theatre, and fundraising efforts. The files also include documentation of programming strategies and clippings related to the advocacy and planning for the Centennial Center.

The collection provides valuable context on institutional celebrations, academic leadership, and campus facility development at SDSU in the late 20th century.

The Allen Barnes Papers offer insight into South Dakota State University’s centennial planning and celebration, showcasing how academic leadership, alumni relations, and campus history were mobilized to shape institutional identity. Barnes’ extensive contributions as Dean demonstrate his role in advancing international education and interdisciplinary arts programming. His leadership in laying the groundwork for a dedicated Performing Arts Center underscores the importance of advocacy, vision, and collaboration in campus planning and cultural enrichment.
