Abstract:
This collection provides a brief overview of the activities of the University of Wisconsin Urban Teaching Research Extension Program, also known as the Ford Urban Program, through reports, correspondence, conference materials, bibliographies, and limited meeting minutes. In December 1959 the Ford Foundation granted $1,000,000 to the University of Wisconsin to develop an urban extension program over a five year period. The program established new urban focused curricula on campus, funded research on topics such as urban growth, public policy, urban public finance, and urban history, and established extension off-campus teaching, research, consultation, and service. The materials also document Political Science Professor and Director of the University of Wisconsin Extension Bureau of Government James R. Donoghue's research on "The States and the Urban Problem" funded by the program in greater detail. It includes data, research notes, correspondence, meeting notes, and surveys of government officials.
