ABSTRACT

If I mistake not this organization was created about ten or twelve years ago. I think it was at the home of Professor Decker that the suggestion of this organization was made—at one of the sessions of the graduate school of agriculture in 1906. I was not present at that time, but I was present a little later, at a little impromptu meeting. After talking a little while we began to take stock; then this organization was started. It was characterized then by the kind of men that we have here tonight and it has grown greatly in eleven years.

And that reminds me of what seems to me an essential consideration, that the organization has not grown just because it was easier for it to grow than to stand still. The members, then as now, were the educational leaders of the industry, and by the way, at that time a great many of the dairy departments of our agricultural colleges consisted of but one man.
