Biographical Note

Agricultural instruction was provided for in the Land Grant Act of Congress in 1862 and it was one of the chief aims of the university at its beginning.¹ In 1867, the Board of Trustees established the Agricultural Department, made up of the School of General Agriculture and the School of Horticulture, Fruit-growing, and Landscape Gardening.² It was formally recognized as a College and the dean's office was established in 1877.³ The dean is appointed biennially by the Board of Trustees and his duties include: preparing the budget; representing and reporting on the college to outside authorities; and coordinating the activities of the departments and special offices.⁴ The dean is also responsible for the operations of the Office of Publications and the Office of Agricultural Communications, both established in 1966,⁵ and the Office of International Agricultural Programs, which was established in 1966 to coordinate college-wide programs such as the International Soybean Program.⁶ In 1965, the title of the office changed from Dean of the College, Director of the Experiment Station, and Director of the Cooperative Extension Service to Dean of the College of Agriculture.⁷

On May 11, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a proposal to rename the College to the College of Agriculture, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES) to reflect the breadth of disciplines taught and researched by the College.⁸The Board also approved of the reorganization of the College which integrated the existing fifteen administrative units into the following seven administrative units: Agriculture and Consumer Economics; Food Science and Human Nutrition; Human and Community Development; Crop Sciences; Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences; Agricultural Engineering; and Animal Sciences. The interdepartmental, intercollegiate Division of Nutritional Sciences was also part of the reorganization to create the College of ACES.⁹
