Report of the Committee Appointed to Review Researches on the Quality and Palatability of Meats

University of Minnesota

Abstract

In May, 1925, shortly after Congress provided additional funds to the states for research by passing the Purnell Act, administrators from the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Experiment Stations met in St. Louis, Missouri, to discuss the possibility of using the new funds in projects of such broad importance as to warrant a coordinated cooperative approach. At that time a national committee on the quality and palatability of meat was appointed with Dean F. B. Mumford of Missouri as chairman. It was officially recognized as a special committee of the Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities until 1931 when all of the committees raised at the St. Louis meeting were discontinued. They were discontinued because it was felt that they had had time to accomplish the main objective for which they had been created, namely, the development of broad integrated programs of research.

No other committee raised at the St. Louis meeting did a better job in getting under way a continuing program of cooperation than the committee on quality and palatability of meat.
