ANOTHER PROMOTION
Called to the Position of Director of
tlie New York state Experiment
Station
R. W. Thatcher, formerly director
of the state experiment station at
the State College, has resigned as
dean of the department of agricul
ture at the University of Minnesota
to accept an appointment as director
of the New York state agricultural
experiment station. The Minnesota
Farm Review contained the follow
ing story regarding the matter:
Rumors about, the campus only
partly prepared faculty members for
the reception of news Which on Sat
urday last confirmed the report that
Dean R. W. Thatcher of the depart
ment of agriculture of the university
had decided to relinquish his posi
tion here with the close of the fiscal
year, June 30, and accept appoint
ment as director of the New York
state agricultural experiment station.
It is not too much to say that
everybody on the campus keenly re
grets the loss of Dean Thatcher as
the administrative head of the de
partment. Faculty members and the
student body have joined In common
expressions of the deepest regret.
Dean Thatcher had been consider
ing the offer of the New York au
thorities for some time, and on Sat
urday last met by appointment the
members of the board of control at
Geneva, seat of the New York sta
tion. Both sides soon came to an
[understanding, arid announcements
'of the appointment and its accept
ance by the dean were soon sent
broadcast over the country. The
dean has not returned to University
Farm as this is written, but it is
known here that the New York offer
made a strong appeal to him from
the very first. Research work the
kind of work he has always been am
bitious to do— will dominate his new
field at Geneva. Not only will he:
be in position to encourage research
work by others, but he will also have
opportunity to do work of this sort
himself, something which he has
been denied by his administrative
duties at University Farm.
Dr. Thatcher has been dean of the
department of agriculture and di
. rector of the agricultural experiment
".station of the University of Minne
sota since 1917. He was educated
in the common schools and the Uni- 1
Versify" of Nebraska, from which he
