Introduction

Education Committee, Department of Dairy Science, University of Nebraska, Lincoln

ABSTRACT

The work of the Education Committee of the American Dairy Science Association brings its members in contact with many, quite divergent points of view as to what a dairy curriculum should be. This is natural since with a rapidly advancing industry there is greater demand for more specialized training at higher levels of proficiency.

On the production side the larger herds require better business management and higher standards in all phases of management. Most firms in the field of dairy manufacturing have either broadened their areas of activity into other foods or plan to do so. They too are rapidly expanding, requiring more specialized personnel.

In many colleges and universities the enrollment of dairy majors is down to the point where high per student teaching costs force the administration to reexamine ways and means of bringing these costs more nearly in line with those in other areas of university teaching.
