A TRIBUTE . . .
Last Thursday over 500 people gathered at the Student Union to
pay tribute to Dean W. W. Burr of Ag college and his family. People
from all walks of life were there: students, farmers, businessmen,
farm homemakers, and educators.
Retiring thisfall as dean of Ag college, Burr has served
Ag college as Dean for 21 years. During this time he has headed the
college in becoming one of the outstanding agricultural institutions in
this country. He has kept two special aims for Ag college before him
in accomplishing this purpose. First, he has endeavored to set up a
broad curricula for the youth of the state who are going into agri-.
cultural and homemaking work. Since agriculture is the outstanding
contribution of the state of Nebraska, it is only fitting that the youth
of Nebraska should have the opportunity to study agriculture prob
lems and techniques.
His second aim for the Ag college has been that of establishing
an outstanding research program in agriculture and homemaking.
Only by study and experimentation can new and better techniques be
discovered and put into use. Dean Burr has strived to apply the true
scientific method to studies of important problems, thus establishing
a lirm foundation of information and techniques to apply to the im
provement of Nebraska agriculture.
As evidence of Dean Burr's progressive administration at Ag col
lege, many new buildings have been added to the Ag campus in the
last 21 years. The two co-operative halls for women students, Loomis
and Love halls, one home management house, and the modern Food
and Nutrition building stand as tributes to Dean Burr's interest in
better Ag college. Dean Burr has also been a guiding force for the
proposed Youth Memorial building to be erected on Ag campus to
take care of the youth groups who visit Ag college every year.
During his years at Ag college, Dean Burr has become known to
his associates as a fine gentleman and a co-cperative executive. As
evidence of his inspiration and service to them, his associates at Ag
college planned and sponsored the dinner Thursday night in his honor.
Several of his fellow faculty members and the chancellor voiced their
praise to Dean Burr and his family for their service to Ag college
and to Nebraska agriculture. A part of a printed tribute to him
distributed at the dinner summed up the feeling of all who were
honoring him:
"Students of the College of Agriculture, members of the staff
and citizens of Nebraska will long cherish the gifts of courage and
understanding which have come to them from Dean and Mrs. Burr
t.nd through the years will continue to value their service and in
spiration." L. M.

The Cotton Denim dance on
Friday, April 30, will be the offi
cial opening of Farmers Fair fes
tivities. The dance is scheduled
at 8:30 p.m. and will be held in
the ballroom of the College Acti
vities building.
Jack Swanson and his orchestra
will furnish music for the pre
Fair dance. Cotton dresses and
denims will be the order of dress
for the evening, according to Har
riet Moline, dance chairman.
The highlight of the evening
will be the presentation of the
Goddess of Agriculture and the
Whisker King. The Goddess and
her attendants, all senior girls,
were elected at an all Ag college
election held last week. The Whis
ker King will be chosen from all
Ag men present at the dance who
have been growing beards for the
last four weeks. His reward for
his outstanding growth will be a
kiss from the Goddess of Agricul
ture and the first dance after the
presentation.
The Home Economics club will
be in charge of the presentation
of the Goddess and the theme of
their presentation is kept a secret
until the night of the dance. Con
nie Crosby is chairman in charge
of the presentation.
Tickets for the dance are now
on sale in the Ag Union for $2.00
a couple. Tickets may also be ob
tained from any Farmers Fair
Board member and they will be
sold at the door at the dance.
