Program at the dinner in honor of Dean W. C. Coffey

Address

University of Minnesota

Abstract

One of the reasons I accepted the invitation to appear upon this program was that I wished to join with you in acknowledging the the debt that agriculture owes to Dean Coffey. While I am not expected to tell the story of his life and accomplishments, I cannot refrain from mentioning the fact that we have been associated with each other in educational work for more than a quarter of a century and that our feelings of respect and confidence have deepened with each passing year.

I have learned that Dean Coffey is a man of many sides and many interests. Most of you know him in his public relations. I know him as a fair-minded, conscientious, judicious administrator with a constructive imagination which he applies in the development of agriculture. Our correspondence over the years would show that we have spent much time considering and philosophizing about the problems of education, that we have tried to maintain a guardianship over its traditions and yet keep it sufficiently flexible to serve the needs of a changing and complex society.
