President's Address

University of California

Abstract

With this annual meeting, the Society has completed the thirty-third year of its existence. One generation of time has passed since a small group of workers in our field gathered to start the organisation under the name of The American Society of Animal Nutrition. They elected that distinguished scientist, W. P. Armsby, as president. Thus the leadership of the livestock production industry as represented by the members of this organization in the Land Grant Colleges and Federal agencies was along scientific lines as attested by the reelection of the first president for three successive terms.

It is often said that it requires one generation for a new science to find itself; and its work in the second generation largely determines its proper niche in the scheme of things. This is also true of organizations many of which do not last for one generation, and others do so only to pass into oblivion during the second generation.

The outlook is auspicious for the American Society of Animal Production to really find itself in the second generation and proceed to a permanent place of greater and greater importance.
