Memorials Honoring the Late W. J. Spillman, 1931

This consists of two documents. The first is a 23-page record of the memorial ceremony for William Jasper Spillman held on the Washington State College campus on October 22, 1931. It includes who was on stage, a list of special guests, and a list of speakers plus the texts of most of their talks. These are: introductory remarks by WSC president E.O. Holland (his remarks are the only thing in the following list for which the text is not present); messages from U.S. secretary of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde, University of Missouri president Walter Williams, Farm Journal editor Arthur H. Jenkins, University of Idaho dean of Agriculture E.J. Iddings, Washington State Grange master A.S. Goas, and State Farm Bureau president Troy Lindley; and then talks by emeritus WSC president E.A. Bryan, WSC Farm Management and Agricultural Economics head Rex E. Willard, and Washington Oregon Idaho Farmer editor E.A. Smith.

The second document is a 5-page memorial talk given by Clarence Beaman Smith (1870-1948), assistant director of the U.S. Cooperative Extension Service, with the date and audience not noted, though it appears to be addressed to a national agricultural organization.
