Biographical Information
Katherine Kilbourne was born on February 26, 1915 in the small town of Minneapolis, Kansas.  She was the youngest of five children and the only female.  Her father, Dr. B. K. Kilbourne, was a physician in Minneapolis.  When she was four the family moved to Topeka, Kansas where her father had taken the position as director of the venereal disease section of the Kansas State Board of Health.  In 1923 the family moved to Fargo, when her father was offered the choice of becoming the medical officer for one of five public health demonstration project sites in U.S. cities.

When Katherine enrolled in the third grade of the Horace Mann School, she recalled having a terrible time convincing her teacher that she came from Minneapolis, Kansas, not Minnesota.  It took her mother's intervention to settle the case.  The Fargo environment proved to be rich and dynamic for Katherine, where she was involved in most school activities.  She graduated from Fargo Central High School in 1933 and enrolled in North Dakota Agricultural College (now North Dakota State University), where she graduated with a degree in home economics in 1937.  She was very active in college, including editing the Bison yearbook, president of Gamma Phi Beta sorority, membership in Senior Staff, commissioner of finance, member of Phi Upsilon Omicron, Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and chosen as an outstanding senior in her graduating class.  In 1936 her father accepted a position as the State Epidemiologist for Montana and the family moved to Helena.

Upon graduating, Katherine had an opportunity to take a teaching job in Beach, North Dakota, a few of miles from the North Dakota/Montana line.  Instead, Katherine opted for teaching junior and senior high school home economics and art in Sayville, New York.  (Sayville is on Long Island, and about fifty-five miles east of New York City.)  While teaching at Sayville, she commuted into New York City and completed her master's degree from Columbia University in 1939.  Upon completion of her degree, she took a job as an instructor in foods and home economics at Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan.  While at Wayne State she co-authored three books in the Wayne University Studies in Air Transport series: Air Cargo Potential for Sea Foods (1945), Consumer Acceptance of Kitchen Serviced Vegetables (1946) and Markets for Airborne Seafoods.  Air Cargo Potential for Sea Foods won the Aviation Writers Prize for outstanding contribution to commercial aviation.  She was promoted to Assistant Professor and remained at Wayne State until 1947.

During her days at North Dakota Agricultural College, she met and dated Joe Burgum, from Arthur, North Dakota, a pre-law student in the College of Arts and Sciences.  He was stationed in Chicago with the Navy during World War II and often came to visit her in Detroit on weekends.  Katherine and Joseph married on April 8, 1944.  It is of interest to note that Joe's mother Jessamine Slaughter Burgum was the first woman to enroll at North Dakota Agricultural College in 1891.  In 1947 the couple returned to Arthur, North Dakota, since Joe had become the manager and secretary-treasurer for the elevator operation.  Together they managed their farms near Arthur and at Williston.

Katherine was extremely active in the United Methodist Church at Arthur, as well as serving on the school board.  She helped to organize a woman's volunteer service program at St. Luke's Hospital (Fargo) and became the first president of St. Luke's Hospital Auxiliary and later served two terms as state president of the North Dakota Hospital Auxiliary Association.  Katherine and Joe started a family, with Bradley born in 1952, Barbara in 1953, and Douglas in 1956.   She was also involved in the Arthur Town Homemakers, as well as the Cass County Homemakers Council.  In the late 1950s she was one of two North Dakota women chosen to participate in McCall's Congress of Better Living in Washington, D.C.

Katherine was a member of the organizing group of the Cass County Historical Society, as well as serving on the first Board of Directors.  She was also active in the Red River Valley Fair Association, the Cass County Fair Association, PTA, Campfire Girls, the Red Cross, March of Dimes, and the North Dakota Cancer Society.  Katherine was very active in Republican politics, at the precinct, county, state, and national levels, serving as National Committeewoman from North Dakota from 1968-1972.  In 1969, Secretary of Transportation Volpe, appointed her to the National Motor Vehicle Safety Advisory Council.

She also maintained close ties to her alma mater, North Dakota State University.  She was active in Alumni Association and served as a member of the Alumni Board.  She was a member of the Cass-Clay Alumni and Former Students Association and served as vice-president in 1960.  She was a member the Gamma Phi Beta House Board and president of the House Corporation Board.  In 1964 she was inducted into Mortar Board.  She was also a founding member of the NDSU Development Foundation, as well as its president.   In 1971 she received the Alumni Achievement Award.

Towards the end of 1970, President L.D. Loftsgard of NDSU, asked Katherine to represent the Alumni Association on the search committee for a new Dean of the College of Home Economics.  It was also during this time that Joe Burgum developed a brain tumor.  Katherine went to as many meetings as she could during Joe's illness.  Joe passed away in January 1971.  Katherine continued to serve on the committee though, and when the committee starting reviewing candidates for the position, Katherine's name was suggested as a candidate.  Although she was pleased to be considered, she politely declined.  As the search dragged on, in early 1971, President Loftsgard went out to Arthur and asked her to reconsider being Dean.  She accepted the position of acting Dean in January 1972.

Perhaps the most visible accomplishment during her eight year tenure as Dean was the building of the Family Life Center, renamed the Katherine Kilbourne Burgum Family Life Center in October 1998, which greatly expanded the physical plant of the College of Home Economics.  The original Home Economics building accommodated 300+ students when built in 1954, but by 1972 the College was nearing the 1,000-student level.  It was largely through her determination and clout that the building passed the North Dakota legislature.  The groundbreaking ceremony for the building took place in April 1974.  It was also during her term as Dean that the home economics faculty holding doctorates quadrupled, the College became one of the top fifteen colleges of home economics in the nation, was the twenty-sixth among 400 eligible colleges of home economics accredited by the AHEA, and in 1979 the North Dakota Legislature made available $100,000 in agricultural experiment funding for research projects in home economics.

Governor William Guy appointed her to the Governor's Advisory Council on Highway Safety in 1972 and Governor Art Link reappointed her to the Council. In 1975, President Gerald Ford named her as a member of the President's Advisory Council for Women's Educational Programs.  Governor Link also appointed her his ad hoc committee on Administrative Practices in Higher Education in 1975.  She was also appointed by the State Board of Public Instruction to serve on the ad hoc committee to study certification of kindergarten and pre-school teachers in 1975.  In 1977 she was one of twelve North Dakota delegates at the National Women's Conference in Houston.   In 1980 Govern Allen Olson appointed her to the State Social Service Board.  She also served on the Board of Trustees of the International Music Camp at the International Peace Garden.

Dean Burgum officially retired from NDSU in February 1980, retirement was simply redirection for her.  The Spectrum, the college newspaper, in it's April Fool's spoof, on April 1, 1980 featured an article titled "Ex-home ec dean remains in retirement" and went on to list, the majority being fictitious, twelve organizations she was now involved in.  Retirement meant that she could now devote her energies to different endeavors.  She was still involved with ownership of farms in Arthur and Williston, membership on the Board of Directors of Arthur Farmers Elevator, membership on the Board of Directors of Western States Life Insurance Company, secretary of Board of Governors of The Neuro-psychiatric Institute, consultant to the American Home Economics Association Foundation, and Board member of the NDSU Development Foundation.  She has also served on the Board of Directors of St. Luke's Foundation, Board of Directors of the Red River Zoological Society, and Board of Directors of Great Plains Software. She was the Chairman of the Kick-Off Celebration for North Dakota's Centennial Celebration in 1989.

As to honors and accolades, they are numerous and the following is just a partial list:  Alumni Achievement Award - 1971, Mortar Board, NDSU Chapter "Outstanding Educator" Award - 1973, Honorary Life Membership, Future Home Makers of America - 1974, Outstanding Alumni Business Award, ND Business Foundation - 1975, Phi Kappa Phi - 1975,  "Women Helping Women Award, " Fargo Soroptomist Club - 1976,  "Woman of the Year Award," YWCA Education category - 1976, Who's Who in America - 1977, Who's Who in American Women - 1977, Who's Who in American Politics - 1977, Blue Key Doctor of Service Award - 1978, President's Medallion - 1980, Honored Alum Award - 1981, and the Athena Award, Chamber of Commerce of Fargo-Moorhead - 1998.

Scope and Contents
 This is an artificially arranged collection, with no original set series.  The created series are arranged topically in either alphabetical/chronological or straight chronological order, depending upon the nature of each series.  The first series is Personal material series (1964-1996) and consists primarily of business cards, personal calendars for 1965, 1983, 1984, and 1986 (daily activities), correspondence (local, state, national activities), and notes/card (primarily thank you cards).  The Awards/Honors series (1971-1997) consists of a number of awards and honors that were bestowed on Katherine Burgum during this twenty-six year period.  This is by no means a complete list.  The Community/Business Activity series (1951-1998) focuses on some of her business pursuits and the various local, regional and national activities she became involved in.  This series is in topical/chronological order.  As with other series, the listed activities are by no means inclusive of everything she was involved with.  The Political series (1960-1996) deals primarily with her activities when she was the Republican National Committeewoman from North Dakota (1968-1972).

The NDSU/College of Home Economic series (1971-1993) focuses on Katherine Burgum's actions as Dean of the College of Home Economics (1972-1980).  There is also information on her activities with the University after retiring as Dean.  The American Home Economics Association series (1977-1989) centers around her activities as a Board of Trustee member, chair of the Foundation grants/corporate giving committee, and a Fund Developer Consultant.

The NDSU Development Foundation Series is the largest single series in the collection.  Katherine Burgum was one of twenty-nine original Board of Directors of the Development Foundation, which incorporated on April 27, 1971.  She was the president of the Foundation from 1980-1983.  The primary purpose of the Development Foundation is to develop and coordinate NDSU's fundraising program.  The series is broken into the following categories: historical background (1971-1989), Board of Trustees (1971-1999), Board of Directors (1971-1999), Executive Committee (1971-1999), correspondence (1981-1984, 1989, 1994, 1998), financial statements (1976-1981), development/alumni joint meetings (1982, 1995), SU 75 (1970-1973), and committees (1979-1998).  The Talks series (1959-1993) is of particular interest because of the diversity of her talks, as well as the fact that much of the information is handwritten drafts from which the talks were given.  The Publications series consists of two of her publications while at Wayne State University.

The Photography series, which is located with the NDSU photography collection, is a very small collection of photographs.  The photographs consist primarily of her community and business activities, her university affiliations, and her political activities.
 

Katherine Burgum passed away on April 15, 2005 in Fargo, North Dakota at the age of 90.
