An educator and specialist on agricultural cooperatives, Frank Robotka (1889-1975) worked for many years at the Agricultural Extension Service (1920-1961) of Iowa State University where he became involved with agricultural cooperatives. Robotka continued his study and research on cooperatives at Iowa State until his retirement in 1961. Throughout his career as a Professor of Agricultural Economics, he produced numerous journal articles and topical studies concerning the cooperative movement. The collection contains personal and professional correspondence, writings, publications, and cooperative related material including pamphlets, brochures, meeting minutes, handwritten notes, correspondence, and Robotka's writings and research. |
Born on April 6, 1889, Frank Robotka grew up and received his early education in Wisconsin. He received his B.S. (1915) from the University of Wisconsin and his M.A. (1921) from the University of Minnesota. Beginning in 1920, Robotka joined the Agricultural Extension Service at Iowa State College (University). There he first became involved with agricultural cooperatives. Except for a brief leave of absence when he attended the University of Chicago (1929), Robotka continued his study and research on cooperatives at Iowa State until his retirement in 1961. Throughout his career as a Professor of Agricultural Economics, he produced numerous journal articles and topical studies concerning the cooperative movement. In addition, Robotka was a Trustee of the American Institute of Cooperation and is a member of the Alpha Mu chapter of Epsilon Sigma Phi. (See Box 9, Folder 16 for related biographical information.) Robotka passed away in December, 1975. |
