The Awards of the American Dairy Science Association: A Review

The American Dairy Science Association

ABSTRACT

"No endeavor is in vain;

Its reward is in the doing,

And the rapture of pursuing

Is the prize the vanquished gain."

Despite the poetic touch of Longfellow, the American Dairy Science Association recognizes services and achievements of its members by special awards given at the annual meetings of the Association. Starting from a mere suggestion 29 yr. ago, that the society recognize distinctive service of its members, the system of special recognition now encompasses at least eight areas.

The awards have created more-than-usual interest in research, teaching, and extension, both in dairy production and manufactures, as well as in service to the Association itself. The awards program has become the high light of the annual meeting.

Since the idea of special recognition was first conceived, membership in the Association has increased tenfold and attendance at the annual meetings sixfoId. Conceivably, many members are not familiar with the origin of the awards and the conditions under which they are granted.
