Historical Note

Animal Science has been a part of the curriculum of Washington State University from the institution's opening in 1892; however, it remained part of the Department of Agriculture until 1918 when a new and separate Department of Animal Husbandry was created. In 1958 the name was changed to the Department of Animal Science.

Part of the records concern Hilltop Stables, Pullman, Washington, which was acquired by the University in four different holdings between 1946 and 1948. The Washington Horse Racing Commission was the principal funding source from 1946 to 1963.

Arrangement

The records from the Department of Animal Science are divided into three series. The first and largest series is Correspondence, 1970-1973; it consists of the letters, memos, reports, and minutes of T.H. Blosser, Chairman (1962- 1976) and is arranged alphabetically by correspondent. The second series is the department subject file, 1944-1977, although the bulk of the material dates from 1957 to 1970; it is arranged alphabetically and consists of reports, newsletters, memos, summaries, building and development plans, program reviews, photos, publicity, research projects, financial material, and some correspondence. The third series consists of the records of Hilltop Stables, 1945-1973, and contains correspondence, history, development plans, financial material, minutes, and some research recordsall of which are arranged alphabetically by subject.

Bound volumes have been counted as one item.
