It is significant for its association with G.B. MacDonald, a leading figure in the Conservation Movement in Iowa, and as a fine example of American Craftsman architecture in Ames.  MacDonald was a professor of forestry at Iowa State College, later renamed Iowa State University, from 1910 until his death in 1960.  He also served as Deputy State Forester from 1918 to 1935, and as the State Forester from 1935 to 1957.  He played a leading role in both forestry and soil conservation, and was an advocate for the relationship between forestry and soil erosion and farming.

"The Center" is best known for an annual report it produces, The Top American Research Universities, that ranks American universities on nine different measures: Total Research, Federal Research, Endowment Assets, Annual Giving, National Academy Members, Faculty Awards, Doctorates Granted, Postdoctoral Appointees, and SAT/ACT range.  The center also produces other scholarly works on ranking and education quality.  The raw data used by the researchers at "The Center" is made available to the public on the web.  This ranking's influence within the academic community has been described as being "commonly regarded to be one of three indicators that reflect an institution's rank as a Tier One institution", the other two being the classification of a university with "very high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and membership within the Association of American Universities. <SEP> South Dakota State University is a public research university located in Brookings, South Dakota.
