Colleges and Universities have a long history of recognizing pioneer accomplishments and prominent donors with "naming ceremonies." For example: - Morrill Hall is named for Justin Morrill, whose 1862 Land Grant Act paved the way for the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College three years later. - Bertha M. Terrill Home Economics Building, circa 1950, is the namesake of UVM's first woman faculty member who joined the College in 1909. - Robert and Lee Bickford Conference Room, 357 Carrigan Wing, recognizes contributions of the late Bob Bickford '43, '50 and wife Oletha Thompson Bickford '41, both outstanding volunteers and friends of CALS for more than 60 years. - Lawrence K. Forcier Outstanding Senior Award is named for, you guessed it, a former dean of the College, director of UVM Extension and professor of forest ecology. - Sarah Jane, a Jersey calf born June 16 at the Miller Research Center and UVM Farms was named by CALS advisor Cynthia Danaher '80, of Winchester, Massachusetts for one of her daughters. Buildings, rooms and awards are traditional namesakes, but cows? Calf naming rights went to two highest bidders during the College's Alumni and Friends Celebration silent auction last spring. Then, late this fall, Sid Rossuck '55 named a Holstein born Sept. 27, Sandalwood Princess, after his farm in Boaz, Alabama. Plaques saying as much now hang in the cattle stalls, and the CALS scholarship fund is $400 stronger. CAPTION WILL THEY COME WHEN CALLED? That's Holstein Sandalwood Princess on the left (named by Sid Rossuck '55) getting acquainted with Jersey calf Sarah Jane (whom Cynthia Danaher '80, named after her daughter). ~Cheryl Dorschner photo.
