Logan, Utah. Dear President Kerr:-I have just learned that Professor Clark, head of your Animal Husbandry Department, has resigned his position to accept the position of Professor of Animal Husbandry in the Utah Agricultural College. I presume that this will leave a vacancy in your institution which you will fill in the near future. If you have not already selected a man for this place, I would like to recommend Mr. W. T. It~cDonald. Mr. McDonald will receive his Master's degree from the Animal Husbandry Department of this College at our Commencement exercises the first week in June. Mr. McDonald is, in 1l1'i' estimation, a well qualified man for work of this kind. In the first place, he was reared on one of the best stock farms in western Ontario. He graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College some three years ago. Since that time he has spent almost two years in charge of the Shaw Webb F_,xperiment Station at St Paul, Minnesota, during which time he also did some editorial work on the St Paul Farmer. During the past fifteen months he has been at this institution, pursuing graduate work along Animal Husbandry lines. He has a good knowledge of animal husbandry work, both from the scientific and practical sides. He had charge of our College Farm work lant suimner. This spring he has passed one of the mo st sa tis-factory examinations for his Wiaster's degree of any man that has ever been examined at this institution. Professor Summers, Chainnan of our Post Graduate Committee, commended him very highly on his work. He is a ma.n who will make good if given t he right op 1iortun i ty. I do not know what salary you can pay, but I feel sure that Mr. McDonald will be glad to start at whatever you th ink he is worth, and earn his promotion by his work. If you have not already selected a man I would be glad to have you correspond with Mr. McDonald, addressing him W. T. McDonald, Ames, Iowa, or if you wish any further information concerning him, write me and I will be glad to furnish the same. With kindest personal regards and best wishes for your success, I am, Very truly yours,
