Biography:
George S. Round served as the director of the University of Nebraska public relations office
from 1945 to 1973. Round was born in Ord, Nebraska, and received a B.S. in agriculture from the
University of Nebraska. He began his professional career at the University in 1933 as the
agriculture extension editor. Round assisted in the establishment of radio programs and two
television programs, including "University Speaks" and "Backyard Farmer." The latter is still
aired on Nebraska Educational Television and Radio. Round died in March 1992 at 84 years.
Scope and Content:

1973. The original interviews were recorded on reel-to-reel tapes and cassette tapes, with
