The historical development of the Cooperative Extension Service of the United States has resulted in a public institution that is complex organizationally, diverse in scope, and has multiple, sometimes competing, identities and goals. Since World War II there have been many efforts by the extension service to redefine its mission and the related goals, scope, methods, and modes of evaluation. Missing from these efforts were clear expressions of the underlying institutional judgments that negotiated the extension service's inherent competing, and often conflicting, public values. The most fundamental institutional judgments addressed what <italic>should be</italic> the extension service's work and obligations as public institution in a society that respects both the common public good and democratic self-determination. A methodological framework is developed for creating an historical and ethical forensic analysis to make explicit the public ethics of the extension service as a United States public institution. The framework is developed from bioethics, ethical analysis of social interventions, historiography of science and technology, and others approaches to historical and ethical inquiry. Two attempts to redefine the Cooperative Extension Service at critical points in the institution's history are analyzed. One redefinition was created in 1948 for an extension service facing new challenges after being fundamentally transformed by the Great Depression and WWII. The other was created in 1983 when the extension service was experiencing declining public resources, charges of public irrelevancy, and contradictory pressures from various stakeholders. The analysis's perspective is from the inherent tension in the extension service between paternalistic-utilitarian goals seeking to influence people's skills, attitudes, and behavior for predetermined common good and democratic goals seeking to facilitate the capacity for self-determination and development of people themselves through their vocations of work, family, and community. In so doing, the study seeks to contribute to the understanding of public ethics in both formative educational program development and summative public accountability of institutional and organizational judgments.
