MoreThe M. Edmund Aycock Papers contain programs, membership lists, educational resources, publications, correspondence and other materials related to the history of North Carolina's 4-H program. As a North Carolina youth, M. Edmund Aycock (1912–2009) belonged to 4-H clubs during the 1920s. He later studied at the University of North Carolina (1929-1933) and North Carolina State University (1933-1936). After working as a county Cooperative Extension agent, he worked at Wachovia Bank and also served as a chairman of the Wake County Board of Commissioners. Aycock was actively involved in the 4-H Youth Development program throughout his life and founded the Edmund & Elizabeth Aycock Scholarship. This scholarship awards $1000 to a high school senior who participates in 4-H. For his 80 years of service to North Carolina 4-H, he was inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame. He was also awarded NC State University's Watauga Medal in 1984.
