Response by Chancellor E. A. Burnett

Abstract

Mr. Toastmaster and Friends: I am deeply appreciative of the honor bestowed upon me tonight by the American Society of Animal Production. Your presence here in such numbers places me under lasting obligation to the society. The portrait which is presented here flatters me beyond measure.

While my work in recent years has been largely administrative, I have retained a keen interest in animal production as an essential to progressive agriculture. We who go back through forty, years of college history can appreciate how great the change has been in Agricultural Education. Michigan was one of the earliest in agricultural colleges. At the time of my graduation it had one professor of agriculture, animal husbandry, dairying, etc., who with one or two assistants occupied the whole "settee" rather than the "chair" of agriculture. There was a professor of horticulture, also a veterinarian without any knowledge of bacteriology, a professor of botany, and one of chemistry and physics.
