There have been many changes on the Campus since Pro- fessor Gulley's arrival in 1894. There was not at that time a brick building on the college grounds, and not a building of any kind south of the site of Gold Hall. The college did not even own any land south of that site. All evergreens and shrubs and nearly all other transplanted trees, now on the Campus, have been planted since. Not any of the present drives and walks then existed. Professor Gulley's entrance into college life was accident- al. He was called into it without solicitation or expectation on his part, and he had no intention of continuing very long, when he started. I-Ie states, hvowever, that his twenty years of practical experience was his most valuable asset for his after years of teaching. Professor Gulley is not a writer of books, but he has been working for several years, upon a classification and description of apple varieties. As he wished to make as many of the descriptions as possible from personal study of the kinds, it has takenl much time to gather a wide range of vari- eties. The work, however, has now been carried so far, that he will put it in the hands of a publisher in the near future. It is about the only branch of horticulture, upon which nothing has been published for many years. ri' 7 ' A 'f' 'c'q 00' QQ -0' ' -f.. ,La Q. .a 9

Zllfreh Qurhnn Galley. VERY strong man is actuated by certain underly- ing principles and these principles resolve them- selves into a philosophy which is the foundation 29 of the purpose 'of a man's existence. And no 6-xkzld-5 man who has built his own philosophy, from his own experience has lived in vain. It has been our joy and pleasure to get acquainted with Professor Gulley's ideals and they will remain with us as a foundation for our service to four state and community. Alfred Gurdon Gulley was born in Dearborn, Mich. His grand-parents were natives' of Rhode Island and Connecticut, but later moved, those from Rhode Island to New York, those from Connecticut to Georgia in which states respectively his father and mother were born. All moved to Michigan about 1840. His father began very early as a vegetable grower and increased the business extensively so that Mr. Gulley's boy- hood was spent in that line of work. As Mr. Gulley expresses it, his early life was largely spent in bed,--an onion bed. He attended school winters only until he entered the Michigan Agricultural College, which was the first institution of its kind in the United States, and friom which he was grad- uated before any other was established. He is, and has been for some years, the oldest living agricultural college graduate east of Detroit and north of VVashington. After leaving college he spent three years more at his old home, and then took up greenhouse and nursery work at Detroit. A year later he went to Rochester, New York, the center of the nur- sery business at that time. He was there two years, and then returned to South Haven, Michigan, and began fruit growing connected with nursery work. He was there fifteen years when he was called back to Michigan College as assistant in the horticultural department, and remained there nearly four years. One year was then spent at the University of Vermont at Burlington, whence he came to Storrs in the fall of 1894. 8
