Land-Grant University Programs in Foreign Dairy Science and Education

Department of Animal Sciences, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana

ABSTRACT

The Land-Grant university, in comparison with the other agencies represented in this symposium, has a unique role. There are many organizations which sponsor or carry out research in the dairy sciences, there may be a few whose primary interest is in communications and agricultural extension, but there is no other institution which effectively combines teaching, research, and extension.

As we visit universities and experiment stations in other lands, we are struck by the almost universal isolation of teaching, research, and extension functions. We express further amazement at the real lack of knowledge which those engaged in their separate activities have of the work being done by neighboring institutions. Those of us who have had more than a few years of experience in North American land-grant schools know that the coordination of teaching, rescearch, and extension activities is a recent phenomenon and, indeed, has not been universally achieved in the United States.
