A President's View of Biotechnology¹

University of Georgia, Athens 30602

Abstract

It's our great pleasure to act as host for this annual meeting of the Society. Welcome to The University of Georgia. We hope this is a pleasant and productive week for you.

I want to commend David Spruill and his colleagues for their hard work in coordinating local arrangements. This is, we believe, the largest meeting of a single group ever held on our campus with what I understand to be an expected attendance of 2,200 to 2,500.

I am glad to share the platform this morning with Professor Richard Willham because Iowa State is my other alma mater. In fact, we were graduate students there together in the late 50's, a time that recalls many fond memories.

His participation, and many others here from state universities, reminds us of the crucial role that our state-sponsored institutions have played in the development of agricultural science and agriculture in general, and animal science in particular. It is a proud record of achievement by a partnership of institutions sponsored by the public and American agriculture.

But this meeting also includes animal scientists from across the world, from private institutions and the industry. All of the sectors represented here are part of that great partnership that has served this nation and our world so well.

¹ Presented at the General Session of the 77th Annu. Meet. of the Amer. Soc. of Anim. Sci., August 14, 1985, Univ. of Georgia, Athens.

² President, Univ. of Georgia.
