Dean Coffey in Minnesota

Abstract

In July 1921, Dean Coffey was installed as Dean and Director of the University Department of Agriculture and took over the major responsibility for administering the affairs of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Home Economics; the Schools of Agriculture; the Experiment Station, and the Agricultural Extension Service. Since then he has been driving a four-horse team, with a spike horse or two in addition when new projects were launched by the University, or extraneous ones, such as Drouth Cattle Buying, Rural Electrification, or Soil Conservation programs, were accepted.

By habit a close observer, keenly interested in animal life andvitally concerned with human relationships, Dean Coffey was naturally well equipped to undertake the varied and trying duties incumbent upon a Deanship in a large and growing University. Years of close association with H. W. Mumford in the animal husbandry field, and training under the able guidance of that illustrious Dean of Deans, Eugene Davenport of Illinois, had given Coffey a well rounded knowledge of University life and excellent preparation for leadership in research and education.
