SA DORmME Sr Mr. Jake Ranta was much respected and revered by those of us in the senior class who come in contact with him. He was always available for information whether or not it per- tained to our major field. We soon discovered the breadth of his knowledge, and the facility he exhibited in transmitting his skills to us. His acknowledged excellence in the field of breeding his patience with us as neophytes made our intro- duction to Animal Science a pleasurable experience. It was not uncommon to hear last year’s graduates singing Mr. Ranta’s praises. If a word is necessary for description, we are in agreement that “‘nice’’ was the word for Mr. Ranta.
