Stephen Torrey Dexter papers
Scope and Contents
The Stephen T. Dexter papers consist of originals and reprints of scientific articles written by Stephen Torrey Dexter, former professor of crop science, and his associates and assistants. Of note, is the correspondence from Dexter to the University Archives as well as the "Nutrition of Plants, Animals, and Man". The correspondence provides anecdotal and autobiographical information about the research and how Dexter differentiated between important and unimportant information to send to the Archives. The "Nutrition of Plants, Animals, and Man" is a "unique" study, says Dexter, due to the co-operation of a multitude of departments.
