Biographical / Historical

Robert Neil Dick (1922-1996) worked for UW Extension from 1955-1990. He served as Director of Administrative Services, Director of the Community Programs Division, and Assistant Chancellor of UW Extension. This collection focuses on the programs and operations of the University Extension Division from 1962-1965. During this period, Extension sponsored an increasing number of conferences, institutes, and courses around the state such as the November 5-6, 1964 Institute on Milwaukee Negro for Staff of City of Milwaukee Health Department co-sponsored by the Milwaukee Urban League and the Extension Division Department of Social Work. In 1965, several Madison-based extension units including the Cooperative Extension Service of the College of Agriculture, the University Extension Division, and WHA-Radio and Television merged to form an integrated unit, University of Wisconsin Extension. After the merger, new departments such as the Institute of World Affairs Education and programs such as Continuing Education for Women were established.

Scope and Contents

The collection provides a snapshot of the programs and operations of the University Extension Division from 1962 to 1965, with emphasis on the Field Services Division, the Administrative Services Division, and new departments and programs established after the 1965 merger of the University Extension Division with UW-Madison extension units. These include departments such as the Institute of World Affairs Education and programs including Continuing Education for Women. The materials include correspondence, memoranda, reports, meeting minutes, newsletters, fliers, brochures, and conference programs.

Correspondents include Extension officials such as Chancellor L.H. Adolfson, Field Services Director Jack Ferver, and County Agent Joe Tuss. Reports analyze issues including the Extension Division budget and program development. Meeting minutes document the Field Services Division and meetings between Dick and specific field agents across Wisconsin in areas like Beaver Dam. Newsletters from the Extension News Service describe specific conferences and programs like the 1965 "Great Decisions" discussion groups sponsored by the Institute of World Affairs and the Extension Division. The collection also includes programs and correspondence related to events like the May 1, 1965 symposium Antidote for Apathy, co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin and the Extension Division, and the November 5-6, 1964 Institute on Milwaukee Negro for Staff of City of Milwaukee Health Department co-sponsored by the Milwaukee Urban League and the Extension Division Department of Social Work.
