Scope and Contents

From the Record Group:

The bulk of the collection contains material relating to the issues that interested Hill most as a teacher and researcher. He taught a number of courses on farm appraisal and agricultural finance, and his reference material appears here. Land tenure, especially the legal and moral implications of father-son partnerships and farm ownership transfers, were of special interest to him.

In addition to this, there is also a scrapbook and some memorabilia from his college days at M.A.C. (Michigan Agricultural College, now Michigan State University). The remainder of the collection is made up of items from the Department of Agricultural Economics, including material used in the teaching of several agricultural economics and farm management courses at Michigan State University.

Also included are photographs of Agriculture Economics Department staff, Farm Department Staff, Cooperative Extension, Farmer's Week, people, state farm management tours, farm machinery. There also image of campus including laying of the library corner stone, buildings and scenes, 1913 football team, 1914 Glee Club, and the Varsity Club circa 1914. Some of the photographs in the collection appear to have been used by Hill for publications or a book he wrote.
