Golden Anniversary of Eventful Meeting at Cornell University

Department of Dairy, Michigan State University, East Lansing.

ABSTRACT

Fifty years ago, July 22 and 23, 1908, the two-year-old "Official Dairy Instructors Association" (later to become the American Dairy Science Association) held its annual meeting on the Cornell University campus, Ithaca, New York. Perhaps few meetings of the Association since then have equaled this one in the percentage rise in attendance from previous meetings, and in the number of those destined to become enshrined in the halls of dairy fame.

Membership had increased from the 17 charter members at Urbana, 1906, to 69 members from 26 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. Forty-seven posed for a picture, which later was to become of historical interest. Eleven of those attending the third annual conference at Cornell in 1908 were to attend the 29th annual meeting in 1934, again at Cornell. At least five were present again at the 45th Cornell meeting, 1950.

Of those present at the 1908 Cornell meeting, Lee, Thom, Doane, Larson, C. W., Hunziker, Ross, Washburn, Webster, Hayden, White, Haecker, Rasmussen, Larson, C., Erf, Eckles, Pearson, Savage, Van Norman, Van Slyke, Miyawaki, Stocking, Publow, Nystrom, Dean, Guthrie, Frandsen, Armsby, Farrington, Woll, Rawl, and others, were to carve niches for themselves in dairy science and have their names revered among agricultural leaders of America during the next 50 years.
