PSU Ag Alumni To Be At
What has CAAS done for you
lately? The answers may surprise
you. This group’s activities range
from appreciating the past to
enhancing the present, and assur
ing a viable future. And through it
all, CAAS has agriculture at heart,
It’s their middle name.
CAAS is the College of Agricul
ture Alumni Society at Penn State
University, an organization of
some 5000 individuals whose
background and interest is in this
nation’s most important industry:
agriculture.
Recognizing the increasing
importance education and commu
nications play in today’s world,
CAAS is dedicated to enhancing
both, as they apply to agriculture.
Among the organization’s objec
tives are to find and provide scho
larships or other funds for stu
dents. Additionally, CAAS
encourages excellence in teaching,
research, Extension, and continu
ing education.
Another goal is to provide a
public forum for agriculture. As
such, membership is invited. Also
welcome are concerns and ques
tions. A number of CAAS mem
bers hold leadership positions
within influential farm organiza
tions, educational institutions, and
government What’s more CAAS
works to enhance the welfare of
Pennsylvania agriculture by prom
oting the use of agricultural pro
ducts at all College and alumni-

sponsored activities.
Monetarily and physically,
CAAS efforts on behalf of educa
tion and agriculture have grown
significantly. Just a few years ago,
for example, CAAS contributed
$30,000 towards the construction
of Penn State’s Ag Arena. And
even now the organization is
spearheading a drive to have a
brand new commercial-size kitch
en installed at the Arena. It’s due to
be complete this Fall.
CAAS has sponsored and/or
funded many other projects as
well. Among them was the assis
tance in purchasing video-cassette
playback equipment for Extension
regions. More recently, they’ve
created a fund for student intern
ship awards for students of agricul
ture who participate and report on
a work-study internship.
Other CAAS projects have
included funding for the Paste
Farm Implement Museum, and
initiation of the hospitality tent
both at the Ag Progress Days site
near Rock Springs, Pa.
CAAS would like to invite Ag
Progress Days vistors to stop and
meet with members, as the group
will once again be represented
there. Conceived in 1967, and offi
cially organized in January of
1968, CAAS membership is open
to all alumni of Penn State’s Col
lege of Agriculture, or it’s gradu
ate school. Additionally, member
ship may be granted on an honor
ary, associate, or adjunct status.
The ultimate purpose remains the
same; “...to seek out and to effec
tively utilize talents of alumni,
administrators, faculty, students
and friends in an effort to enhance
the excellence, to strengthen the
image, and to add lustre to the pre
stige of and develop a sense of
pride in and commitment to the
College of Agriculture.” (Excerpt
from the CAAS Constitution, page
N-l).

Ag Progress
Immediate past CAAS Presi
dent Patty McMurray notes: “This
is a great time to be associated with
the University. Penn State is gain
ing in prestige and reputation each
year. But let’s not be coat tail rid
ers. Let CAAS be a force in prop
elling Penn State and the College
of Agriculture right to the top.”
The newly elected president of
CAAS is Dr. David Morrow, a vet
erinarian, educator, farmer, and
dairy enthusiast, known to many
Pennsylvania farm families. He
recently won an election to Penn
State’s Board of Trustees and
promises to be a voice for
agriculture.
The executive secretary of
CAAS is Keith Stevens, whose
office is at 201 Agricultural Admi
nistration Building, University
Park, Pa. 16802. Inquiries about
membership or other matters
which CAAS might be able to
address should be sent to him.
CAAS is hopeful that improved
communications will lead to a gre
ater awareness of the importance
of education in today’s agriculture.
