A distinct tribute was paid Dr. C. H. Eckles, Head of the Dairy Department, University of Minnesota, during Farmers' Week when the Eckles Club, composed of his former students, presented an oil painting of their "Chief." This portrait was unveiled and hung in the new dairy building of the University on January 22.
The presentation was made by C. M. Long of the Blue Valley Creamery Institute, who fully expressed the sentiments of the club when he said: "The members of the Eckles Club feel that they owe a debt of gratitude to their Chief bigger than they will ever be able to pay. Desiring to express in some small way this debt, they have had this portrait painted."
Dr. Eckles' former students may be found wherever dairy cows are milked and dairy products are manufactured. They are engaged in all branches and in all phases of the dairy industry.
