Teaching of Dairy Manufacturing

Department of Dairy Husbandry, University of Maryland, College Park

ABSTRACT

It is appropriate that the American Dairy Science Association, in its semicentennial year, give consideration to teaching, since the organization was originally known as the Official Dairy Instructors Association.

A report in the first issue of the Association Journal in 1917 gives a vivid description of the attitudes and obstacles overcome in establishing the worth of education along agricultural and industrial lines for 50 years previous to the organization of the Official Dairy Instructors Association. Establishing the dignity and prestige of dairy courses in university education was not easy, for it took many years, extending even into recent time. Typical of the problems encountered was the attack, cited in the first issue of the Journal, made by a Greek scholar upon "the buttermakers across the campus for holding their subject on a par with Greek as a part of university education." The field of dairying was not recognized as a separate phase of instruction in our agricultural colleges until just prior to 1900, when a few dairy departments were established.
