On January 1, 1958, all agricultural activities at the University of New Hampshire were consolidated under the College of Agri culture. Previous to this time the Cooperative Extension Service had functioned as a separate unit. Under the reorganization, Dean H. C. Grinnell relinquished the directorship of the Agricultural Experi ment Station, a position he had held since 1950, to assume the added responsibilities of the deanship. S. W. Hoitt became Director of the Cooperative Extension Service, M. C. Richards, Associate Dean in charge of resident instruction in agriculture, and the writer became Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station. These three positions report directly to the Dean of the College of Agri culture. Tribute is paid -to Dean Grinnell for his leadership in and untiring devotion to agricultural research on the University of New Hampshire campus. He has established a difficult path for a suc cessor to follow. Finally, I want to emphasize the reasons for conducting research in the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station. As with any other industry, agriculture and forestry can continue to make a significant contribution to the economy of the State of New Hamp shire only through the help of a strong and vigorous research pro gram. If we do not hold our position in competition with other states and other areas, every citizen of the state will suffer. Agri cultural research serves everyone, not just farmers. It results in plentiful food at reasonable prices, improved human nutrition, more efficient use of our land and water resources for recreation, lumber production and farm use, and a more prosperous economy. Research is an investment in the future. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
