John Barnhart McClelland was born in New Alexandria, Pennsylvania, on January 7, 1896. He received his secondary education at Wooster Academy, Wooster, Ohio. He attended the College of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio, and the Ohio State University, from which he earned a BS in Agriculture (1921), an MS (1927), and a PhD (1940). He served with the Army Engineers in a Forestry Unit during the First World War. He taught vocational agriculture at Sidney High School, Sidney, Ohio (1921-1922) and served as an instructor in the Department of Agricultural Education at the Ohio State University (1922-1926), also working as critic teacher of vocational agriculture at the Grove City High School and as itinerant teacher trainer during that period. He served as Assistant Supervisor of Vocational Agriculture in the Ohio Department of Education (1926-1934); Director of Ohio Emergency Adult Education, United States Office of Education (1935); and assistant professor in Agricultural Education at The Ohio State University (1936-1938). He then became a professor of Agricultural Education at ISU (1939-1966). He retired in 1966. He was active in international agriculture, working abroad in Iraq, Pakistan, and the Philippines. In the Philippines he was associated with the Mountain View College, a Seventh Day Adventist mission college located on the island of Mindinao not far from the Mindinao Agricultural College, for three years. McClelland died December 20, 1985. |
The McClelland Papers (1917-1986) consist of materials documenting McClelland's time in the Philippines with Mountain View College and the Mindinao Agricultural College. Also in the collection are his articles and writings, which largely dealt with establishing agricultural schools in non-western nations, and a small amount of biographical information, correspondence relating to World War I, and to Iraq (1952), and some miscellaneous correspondence. |
