Presidential Address¹

St. Paul, Minnesota

ABSTRACT

This is the sixteenth meeting of the American Dairy Science Association. I believe this organization has performed a distinct service to the dairy industry of the United States.

The preamble of our constitution states that "The object of the association shall be to advance the general welfare of the dairy industry, especially, by the improvement of dairy instruction, the stimulation of scientific research, in all phases of the subject, and by improvement in methods of conducting extension work." I believe the organization has in a generous measure served this purpose in the past.

In my judgment there has been marked advances in every line of the several activities in which our members are engaged. Instruction in dairying was begun only about thirty years ago. At that time no one had any experience in teaching the subject. The inevitable result was that considerable time was required to get the subject into pedagogical form so it could be taught.

¹ Delivered at the opening session of the Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association at St. Paul, Minnesota, October 11, 1921.
