The 28th Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association was held on the campus of the University of Illinois, at Urbana, on June 26, 27, 28 and 29. The attendance at the meeting was surprisingly good, considering the times. A great majority of those in attendance came in their cars and many brought their families along.
The ladies were entertained by the ladies of the faculty of the Dairy Staff.
The afternoon of the 26th was devoted to judging demonstrations of dairy cattle and dairy products. On the evening of the 26th there was a large attendance of a meeting of the Breeds Relation Committee.
One afternoon was given over to a tour of the buildings and campus of the University. The group greatly enjoyed a garden party as the guests of Dean and Mrs. H. W. Mumford on the evening of the 28th.
One of the features of the banquet at the Urbana Country Club was the presentation of a scroll to Professor W. J. Fraser setting forth the appreciation of the association of Professor Fraser's vision and initiative in calling the meeting at Urbana in the summer of 1906 that resulted in the organization of the Official Dairy Instructors Association, which later became the American Dairy Science Association.
