Dr. P. H. Tracy Honored by Friends and Associates
On July 29, Professor and Mrs. P. H. Tracy and daughter, Judith, were honored by 180 former students, associates, and friends at a dinner in the Illini Union at the University of Illinois. Professor Tracy is retiring from the faculty on September 1, after 39 years of distinguished service to the University and to the dairy industry in the state and nation.
Many of their friends could not join them for the evening, but their presence was felt in a bound volume of more than 225 letters which was presented to Professor Tracy as a permanent remembrance. As tangible evidence of their esteem, a gift of contributions of more than $1,400 was presented to the Tracys in the form of a certified cheek.
A very informal program followed the dinner with R. T. Milner, Head of the Department of Food Technology, presiding. He called on a few former students, associates, and industry leaders for extemporaneous remarks regarding Professor Tracy's career.
