SCHOENLEBER, M.S.A., D.V.M., M.D. Professor of Veterinary Science. State Veterinarian Dr. Schoenleber is originally a native of the State of Illinois, but received his first college training at the Iowa State College. From there he next enrolled in the National Medical University of Chicago, where he received the degree of M. D. After practicing in this field of medicine for a time he decided that the future held greater things in store for the Vet. so we find him next receiving the honor of D. V. M. at the Chicago Veterinary School. From there he entered the field as a practitioner; to be later called to the McKillip School of Veterinary Medicine as Dean. The next rise in store for him was at K. S. A. C, where in 1905 he was appointed to the position as head of the new Department of Veterinarv Science, just then organized. In the following March he was given the position of State Veterinarian. Little need be said about his labor since coming to be with us, for in the four years course and the new building which has been erected and equipped at the cost of $70,000, we have a perpetual monu- ment as a reward for his unceasing toil and energy. He can be described by one of his own favorite expressions that We ' ll make something doing. R. J. KINZKR, B.S.Agr. Professor of Animal Husbandry Roland J. Kinzer is a product of the Buckeye State. He was graduated at the Iowa State College, after which he was employed as Superintendent of the State Farm at Ames, Iowa. Since coming to K. S. A. C. he has organized and built up the Animal Husbandrv Department until it ranks as one of the best in the country.

During the last year he was called to act as judge at the Fancy Stock Show at Seattle and at Brandon, Canada. Such an honor may well he considered as a recognition of rare and superior ability.
