Abstract:
Papers, mainly 1913-1943, of Franz A. Aust, a University of Wisconsin professor of landscape architecture, consisting of speeches, radio talks, articles, and correspondence. The writings relate to interests in the fields of landscape design, rural planning, horticulture and gardening, roadside development and soil conservation, outdoor advertising, and aesthetics. Additional correspondence and related material relate to his early career at the University of Illinois under Wilhelm Miller, his long friendship with noted landscape architect Jens Jensen, and his role in the American Rural Planning Association, the Wisconsin Friends of Our Native Landscape, and the Wisconsin Roadside Development Council. Also included are a few landscape plans, some course materials, and miscellany. The majority of the papers are available only on microfilm. The drawings are not on the microfilm.
