PRESIDENT KENYON L. BUTTERFIELD The GRIST 7 jA T the last annual meeting of the trustees of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, President Butterfield was elected to fill the vacancy in the presidency at Amherst caused by the death f of Henry H. Goodell, the former president. President Butterfield has accepted the call and will assume his duties there in July. We know that all our readers will be glad to have a short sketch of his life. President Butterfield was born in Michigan in 1868 and is a descendant of the Butterfields and Davisons of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. His grandfather was one of the pioneers of Michigan and a prominent cattle breeder. His father has been one of the leading farmers of Michigan, Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture and also of the faculty of the Michigan Agricultural College, and is now Secretary of the State Agricultural Society. President Butterfield was brought up on a dairy farm, educated in the public schools, and graduated from the Michigan Agricultural College in 1891. After graduating he became interested in several lines of agricultural work and in 1902 received the degree of A.M. from the University of Michigan. The fol- lowing year he became instructor in rural sociology at the University of Michigan, and in December of the same year he was elected President of the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, where he has served three years with marked ability and success. President Butterfield has written considerably on rural sociology, has charge of the Division of Agri- culture in the Carnegie Institute at Washington, and is regarded as one of the foremost leaders in agricultural thought and education. At Commencement time we are glad to say good-bye to our friends and to welcome the summer vacation, yet certain farewells have a tinge of sadness, for some ties will never be renewed. And so it is with mingled joy and sorrow that we relinquish to Massachusetts the man whom we have learned to respect and esteem: with sorrow, because we know that President Butterfield will never return to us as our president, and we realize our loss; with joy, because we feel that Massachusetts offers to him a field of work better suited to him and his ideals than Rhode Island ever can.
