University and in national associa-
tions in the biological sciences.
  Dr. Pound has authored more
than 100 research papers. His stud-
ies have concerned virus multiplica-
tion in plants, particularly the ef-
fect of factors of host environment
(such as nutrition, temperature, and
light) on virus synthesis in plants.
He has studied virus diseases of
cabbage; developed a radish variety
named Red Prince that resists
fusarium wilt; and developed three
spinach varieties that do not bolt in
hot weather and resist blue mold.
His present program in cabbage
breeding has several disease-resist-
ant cabbage hybrids ready for re-
lease to the seed trade.
  He has taught a course in plant
pathology principles for graduate
students at Wisconsin for 16 years
and also teaches a course in plant
virology.
  As chairman of plant pathology,
Prof. Pound has directed one of the


larger departments in the College of
Agriculture. In recent months he has
participated in planning of the Uni-
versity's new $4.7 million Harry L.
Russell Laboratories which is oc-
cupied by plant pathology and three
other departments.
  Dr. Pound has been a member of
the board of consultants of agricul-
tural programs of the Rockefeller
Foundation since 1961. In this posi-
tion he has traveled    widely in
Europe, Africa, Latin America, and
Southeast Asia to evaluate agricul-
tural research programs and institu-
tions of higher learning.
  In May of this year he was chief
of party for a team of University of
Wisconsin agricultural specialists
who evaluated agricultural educa-
tion programs in Western Nigeria for
the U. S. Agency for International
Development.
  Throughout his association with
the University, Dr. Pound has taken


an active part in Madison civic and
church affairs.

THERE      was praise for Dean
Froker as he ended his 16-year
career. The Regents expressed their
gratitude for Froker's administration
of the College of Agriculture and
his contributions to research, speci-
fically in the development of sterile
concentrated milk.
  Vice President Robert Clodius,
himself a member of the Ag faculty
for many years, noted that "in a
quiet way," Dean Froker has made
many changes in the Ag School.
These involve the relocation of many
of the research activities of the Col-
lege to the Arlington Farms in the
northeast corner of Dane County,
the periodic rotation of department
chairmen, the sale of the Hill Farms
for commercial benefit to the Uni-
versity, and a major curriculum re-
form.
