Member of the committee especially Professor H. B.
Roe who assumed responsibility for the preparation of
the manuscript, spent considerable time and effort on
this history of Agricultural Engineering at the University
of Minnesota. This effort together with their knowledge
of the early work recorded here has made possible a comprehensive
and accurate record.
The University of Minnesota and particularly the Institute
of Agriculture and faculty of the Department of Agricultural
Engineering are indebted to these men for this important
contribution.
