Address of Professor Charles S. Plumb

Delivered at the Annual Dinner of the Society Given in His Honor

Abstract

I wish to thank you most sincerely for the generous expressions of your friendship here this evening. It has touched me greatly, and I find myself in some embarrassment and hardly prepared to say what was on my mind previous to this meeting. As I am expected to say something at this time, you will pardon me if I am more or less personal.

It might interest you to know that, excepting Prof. Wing of Cornell University, I have been teaching agricultural and animal husbandry subjects longer than any other person in our colleges. Prof., Wing graduated at Cornell in 1881, and I at the Massachusetts Agricultural College in 1882. As I look down at the faces before me I see many old students of mine, some of whom are now leaders in animal husbandry education, while I also see many friends not former students of mine, who are prominent educators in the schools and colleges of the country.
