American Dairy Science Association Past-Presidents Look Ahead

Department of Dairy, Michigan State University, East Lansing

ABSTRACT

During the American Revolution Edmund Burke, in a letter to the English National Assembly, wrote, "You can never plan the future by the past." About the same time an American patriot, Patrick Henry, in a speech in the Virginia convention, March, 1775, emotionally exclaimed, "I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past." These compatriots expressed two opposite ideas.

Whether one can judge the future of the American Dairy Science Association by the actions of the past-presidents of the Association at their annual dinner, Union Building, North Carolina State College, Raleigh, June 15, 1958, remains to be seen. At any rate, the enthusiasm of the 17 of the 28 living past-presidents attending the dinner with the current Executive Board, present in full body, foretold a bright future for the Association.

Conspicuously absent in the discussion following the formal program were any allusions to the "good old days."
