The Wilmingtonian wishes to pay special tribute to Dr. Os- car F. Boyd, Professor Emer- itus of Chemistry Alumni Directory Draws Favorable Reaction In December, when the first of the alumni directories were being mailed, Oscar Boyd stopped by to examine a copy. He is shown above with Sally Jo Brommund, applicant for the class of 1968, as Teacher Ellen looks down from her vantage point as if to add her blessing to the project. The directory is designed to give continuity to our alumni program and to keep all of us in touch with our Alma Mater and with each other. We hope in part to fulfill with the directory Teacher Ellen’s almost, fierce love of the institution and pride in its graduates. Fund Established For Natural History Museum Now in his 50th year of service to Wilmington College, Oscar Boyd is devoting a major portion of his time to reorganizing the College’s geological collections. Here he is pictured with Doug Selley of Scotch Plains, New Jersey, of the class of ’67. It is Oscar’s fondest dream that a permanent home be found in a Natural History museum for our geological collection. Recently, friends and relatives of the late Dr. Kelley Hale established a memorial fund which is to be used for the establishment of the Natural History Museum. 26

1963-64 was an active year for Wilmington College’s 65 students of agriculture. The Agricultural Club hosted the Sixth Annual Wilmington College Livestock Judging Contest. It attracted some 700 young people to the college Townsley Farm for the day’s activities. The Aggies also entered a float in the Homecoming Parade, sponsored an intercollegiate dairy judging meet, and held a number of social activities. The year for Delta Tau Alpha Agricultural Honor Society was highlighted by a ten person delegation sent to the national convention in Texas during April. The Agricultural Department itself sponsored field days in connection with its programs in agronomy, swine fe- search and dairy cattle. Fifteen students held work-study positions on the college’s 1000 acre agricultural plant and a number of students held other agricultural work positions. Dean Roy Kottman of Ohio State University addresses some 100 agricultural students, faculty members and friends of the college at the Annual Agricultural Banquet, May 19, 1964. 28
