Past Presidents Ride Again

ABSTRACT

"Don't drive an old fire-horse to a fire unless you want him to run," must have been in Vice-President Josephson's mind when he invited all the Past Presidents of the American Dairy Science Association to a special dinner on the eve of the 52nd Annual Meeting, Stillwater, Oklahoma, Tuesday, June 18. Not only did 17 of the 28 living Past Presidents meet with the members of the Executive Board at the dinner, but they kept up a two-hour running debate on past, present, and future policies of the Association. When the debate was at its peak, President Huffman, sensing an endless discussion, snuffed out the fire suddenly, with the gavel—and to everyone's satisfaction.

The "old boys" ran true to form. The spark which they had as one-time ranking officers soon kindled into flame. Seemingly, all at once, the atmosphere was charged with ideas—some good, others not so good.
