Dr. Frederick W. Bennett, a member of the Dairy Science Department faculty at the University of Georgia for nearly half a century, was honored recently by more than 200 guests at the Dairy Science Club banquet. Dr. Bennett retired after 47 years of service to the University of Georgia. Four speakers on the program paid special tribute to Dr. Bennett. A classmate during his freshman rear (1915), Emory Coeke, a prominent Atlanta businessman, told of many hmnorous incidents they experienced as students together. An alumnus, Faegin Parrish, Director of Housing Hygiene in the Georgia Department of Health, paid tribute to his service to former students who are now leaders in the area of Public Health. A current student, Paul Swenson, expressed appreciation for Dr. Bencntt's personal interest in students enrolled in his classes. J. W. Fanning, Vice-President of the University of Georgia, eulogized Dr. Bennett for his loyalty to the University, as well as for his leadership in church and civic affairs. During the program Dr. Bennett was presented a cheek, along with a book of letters from former students. Dr. Bennett joined the faculty of the University of Georgia in 1920. In addition to the B.S. degree from the University of Georgia he holds the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Iowa State University. Although Dr. Bennett has had numerous responsibilities in the Dairy Science Department, and earlier in the Animal Husbandry Department, his major interest has been in the field of Dairy Microbiology.

He has published numerous research papers on his work with bacteriophage. One of the Georgia newspapers carried a prominent editorial on May 9, citing Dr. Bennett's contributions to the University and the dairy industry. George B. Caine H o n o r e d
George B. Caine, head of the Department of Dairying at Utah State University for 41 years, organizer of the Utah Dairy Federation, and an outstanding teacher, was honored at a testimonial dinner on the campus May 10. More than 200 former students, faculty merebers, and friends attended the dinner. I n addition, many others made financial contributions toward the cost of an oil portrait of Professor Caine. to be hung in the Animal Science Building, and a scholarship in his name to be used for undergraduate students in D a i ~ Science. Professor Caine, reared on a dairy farm near the University, was awarded tim B.S. de~'ee in Animal Husbandry in 1912 at USU and the M.S. degree from the University of Missouri in 1913. He was a member of the Idaho Extension Service for one year and then returned to Logan at the request of President John A. Widstoe to establish a dairy department. From a one-man unit in dairy production in 1914, Professor Caine developed an enviable department in Dairy Production and Manufacturing. I n 1928, Professor Caine was a delegate of the U.~. Department of State at the World Dairy Congress in London, then spent four months touring England, Holland, Scotland, and l)enmark, and the islands of Guernsey and Jersey. He obtained property for the growing University, some of which was used for pasture land and most of which is now covered with university buildings. A well-known judge, he worked dairy shows throughout the western states and as far north as the Alaskan border. He was an accredited judge with the Holstein-Friesian Association, the American Jersey Cattle Club, and the American Guernsey Association. He judged the Vancouver Exposition several times, and the Pacific National Show at Portland for both Holsteins and Jerseys. One year he judged state fairs at Utah, Montana, and Colorado. While a student at the University, he helped promote cow testing, a program instituted in the area by his brother, John T. Caine I I I . I n 1936 he organized the Utah Dairy Federation, a combination of all the dairy interests in Utah, including the farmers, serving as secretary of this organization and of its successor, the American Dairy Association of Utah, until he retired in 1957. Professor Caine helped establish artificial

He was responsible for matings in the University herd that produced two outstanding sires, Burkgov Inka DeKol, better known as H-10 at the Cache Valley Breeding Association, and Sevens Burke Skylark. H-10 was the sire of more than 90,000 offspring, all by artificial insemination. Sevens Burke Skylark is expected to equal or excel t{-lll's outstanding record. Following his retirement, Professor Caine was employed part-time by a steel company, to help overcome the problem of fluorine in the smoke which affected animals in the area. An inspiring teacher, Professor Caine was always a friend of the students, not only in dairying but throughout the institution. He taught with parables and stories, and mixed philosophy with his discussions on dairying. In his life and actions, he exemplified the things he taug'ht.

show that the United States spends about i billion dollars per year for agrieultm'al research. I-Ie stated that a recent analysis of some one hundred commercialized developments in the four regional laboratories of the USDA led to the calculation that the net value added to the nation's economy through this research was 20 times its actual cost. Dr. Wells, a native of Spooner, Wisconsin, is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and received his M.S. degree from George Washington University and his Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry from Georgetown University. t i e has been associated with research in the U.S. Department of Agriculture since 1928. t i e did much of the preliminary work in planning for the establishment of the Eastern laboratory, and has been its head since 1940. I n 1956 Dr. Wells received the Distinguished Service Award, the highest award given by the U S D A to its employees. In that year he was also one of ten Federal civil servants to receive a merit citation of the National Civil Service League. The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and Monmouth College has each given him an honorary Se.D. degree. Dr. Wells now heads an extensive program of basic and applied research on the utilization of such farm commodities as milk and other dairy products, meat, animal fats, hides,

George B. Caine, head of the Department of Dairying at Utah State University for 41 years, organizer of the Utah Dairy Federation, and an outstanding teacher, was honored at a testimonial dinner on the campus May 10. More than 200 former students, faculty merebers, and friends attended the dinner. I n addition, many others made financial contributions toward the cost of an oil portrait of Professor Caine. to be hung in the Animal Science Building, and a scholarship in his name to be used for undergraduate students in D a i ~ Science. Professor Caine, reared on a dairy farm near the University, was awarded tim B.S. de~'ee in Animal Husbandry in 1912 at USU and the M.S. degree from the University of Missouri in 1913. He was a member of the Idaho Extension Service for one year and then returned to Logan at the request of President John A. Widstoe to establish a dairy department. From a one-man unit in dairy production in 1914, Professor Caine developed an enviable department in Dairy Production and Manufacturing. I n 1928, Professor Caine was a delegate of the U.~. Department of State at the World Dairy Congress in London, then spent four months touring England, Holland, Scotland, and l)enmark, and the islands of Guernsey and Jersey. He obtained property for the growing University, some of which was used for pasture land and most of which is now covered with university buildings. A well-known judge, he worked dairy shows throughout the western states and as far north as the Alaskan border. He was an accredited judge with the Holstein-Friesian Association, the American Jersey Cattle Club, and the American Guernsey Association. He judged the Vancouver Exposition several times, and the Pacific National Show at Portland for both Holsteins and Jerseys. One year he judged state fairs at Utah, Montana, and Colorado. While a student at the University, he helped promote cow testing, a program instituted in the area by his brother, John T. Caine I I I . I n 1936 he organized the Utah Dairy Federation, a combination of all the dairy interests in Utah, including the farmers, serving as secretary of this organization and of its successor, the American Dairy Association of Utah, until he retired in 1957.

breeding in the intermountain area. He was responsible for matings in the University herd that produced two outstanding sires, Burkgov Inka DeKol, better known as H-10 at the Cache Valley Breeding Association, and Sevens Burke Skylark. H-10 was the sire of more than 90,000 offspring, all by artificial insemination. Sevens Burke Skylark is expected to equal or excel t{-lll's outstanding record. Following his retirement, Professor Caine was employed part-time by a steel company, to help overcome the problem of fluorine in the smoke which affected animals in the area. An inspiring teacher, Professor Caine was always a friend of the students, not only in dairying but throughout the institution. He taught with parables and stories, and mixed philosophy with his discussions on dairying. In his life and actions, he exemplified the things he taug'ht.

show that the United States spends about i billion dollars per year for agrieultm'al research. I-Ie stated that a recent analysis of some one hundred commercialized developments in the four regional laboratories of the USDA led to the calculation that the net value added to the nation's economy through this research was 20 times its actual cost. Dr. Wells, a native of Spooner, Wisconsin, is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and received his M.S. degree from George Washington University and his Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry from Georgetown University. t i e has been associated with research in the U.S. Department of Agriculture since 1928. t i e did much of the preliminary work in planning for the establishment of the Eastern laboratory, and has been its head since 1940. I n 1956 Dr. Wells received the Distinguished Service Award, the highest award given by the U S D A to its employees. In that year he was also one of ten Federal civil servants to receive a merit citation of the National Civil Service League. The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and Monmouth College has each given him an honorary Se.D. degree. Dr. Wells now heads an extensive program of basic and applied research on the utilization of such farm commodities as milk and other dairy products, meat, animal fats, hides,

Eastern fruits and vegetables, maple sirup, and tobacco. The bulk of the research is done at Wyndmoor, but other laboratories under his direction are located in Washington, D.C.; Beltsvi]le, Maryland; East Grand Forks, Minnesota; Lexington, Kentucky; and Waltham, Massachusetts. The Division headed by Dr. Wells is best known for its basic research on milk proteins, development of potato flakes, development of the glutaraldehyde tanning process for leather, discovery of new uses for animal fats in plastics, plasticizers, and animal feeds, and process for recovering the essence of fruit juices for the preparation of full-flavor concentrates and powders. Dr. Wells has two daughters now living in Seattle, Mrs. Clifford Lunneborg and Miss Roberta Wells. Dr. and Mrs. Wells live at 1223 Wheatsheaf Lane, Abington, Pennsylvania. David A. Wieckert Itonored
Dr. David A. Wieekert, Assistant Professor in the Dairy Science Department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, recently was awarded a W. H.
