Series II. Educational Papers, 1920-1951

Series II includes lecture notes, articles, and course papers, mainly from Cardon's tenure in the mid-1920s at the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station and Extension Service, which was closely tied to the Utah Agricultural College (U.A.C.). Cardon often reported on the research being conducted at the experiment station and lectured in a special course on agriculture for Utah bankers. He was a keen supporter of the U.A.C., his alma mater, and wrote several articles for the Buzzer (the U.A.C. yearbook) and Student Life (Cardon was editor of Student Life while he was at student at U.A.C.). He was also active in the alumni association, athletic council, civic associations, and several honorary scholastic societies and fraternities.

Series II also contains selected papers and documents related to Cardon's academic work at the University of California Gianinni Foundation of Agricultural Economics. He earned a master's of science degree in agricultural economics from the foundation in 1933. The materials in this series are arranged in chronological order.
