Sixty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association, University of Guelph; Guelph, Ontario, Canada; June 23–26,1974

The University of Guelph, represented by the Department of Animal and Poultry Science and Department of Food Science, hosted the Sixty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association. The Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) began in 1874 with a stone farmhouse, 500 acres of land and 30 students. As it starts its second century, Canada's oldest English-language agricultural college forms the core of one of Canada's most dynamic universities: the University of Guelph.

Guelph now has a 1,100-acre campus with some 65 buildings, 700 faculty members and 8,800 full time students. It also operates three agricultural research stations totaling 1,700 acres, located at Elora, Cambridge and Arkell, with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

In 1964, the OAC with Macdonald Institute and the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), formed the nucleus of the new University of Guelph. Today the University has seven colleges: OAC, OVC, College of Family and Consumer Studies (formerly Macdonald Institute), College of Arts, College of Social Science, College of Physical Science and College of Biological Science.
