New NU Meats
A thirty-five-year-old promise
will come true Friday when the
NU Meats Laboratory is offi
cially dedicated.
William J. Loeffel, chairman of
the animal husbandry depart
ment, has waited since 1919 for
the construction of the new
building.
. Loeffel believes that the new
meats laboratory is the best in
the nation and that the reward
was well worth the waiting. Had
the laboratory been built when
Loeffel began teaching at the
University, it would not have as
many modern conveniences as
it now has.
.The three-story, L-shaped brick
building is expected to last from
SO to 100 years. The efficiency
with which classes were held in
the meats laboratory the past
semester has proven its adapta
tion.
The laboratory provides for
two types of research, "funda
mental and service," which in
clude all aspects of meat produc
tion from breeding, feeding ana
management to cutting, curing
and packaging meat.
C. Y. Thompson, University
Regent will dedicate the build
ing. Speakers for the event will
