Locate finding aid at https://archives.library.illinois.edu/archon/, Claude W. Gifford Collection. 3 pages., Suggestions from Extension information specialists about content and presentation of a handbook on information for administrators of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Author describes these trends that involve communications programs in colleges of agriculture, extension and research programs: mission creep (to more PR), abandoning our roots (in pursuit of high rankings), communication decentralization, professional slippage (off the faculty ladder), administrative disconnect (with communications leaders), insufficient funding for strategic marketing of colleges, lack of increased communication with nonfarm audiences.
