Robert Burns Ogilvie

American Shorthorn Breeders' Association

Abstract

I deem it a rare honor to be called upon to say a few words before you this evening, but to talk to you briefly concerning the life work, activities, and achievements of our esteemed late friend and benefactor, Robert Burns Ogilvie, I consider an extraordinary privilege.

At 7:30 P. M., September 6, 1923, agriculture in the broadest sense of the word lost one of its most loyal friends when Mr. Ogilvie passed away at his Chicago home on Woodlawn Avenue. His death marked the closing of a life devoted, in large measure, to the improvement of livestock and to the betterment of country living. Idealistic almost to a fault, possessing rare ability to select the proper course to pursue, enjoying a wide range of acquaintance and contact with men in authority, Mr. Ogilvie wielded a tremendous influence in building agriculture, its colleges, and shows to their present high plane.
