WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY GIVES 

 RECOGNITION OF ACHIEVE- 

 MENT. 



Special testimonials of recognition of 

 their eminent services in the develop- 

 ment of agricultural thought and piac- 

 tice were conferred upon Alexander 

 Galbraith of Janesville, and William 

 Toole of Baraboo, at the annual recog- 

 nition exercises of the College of 

 Agriculture of the University held 

 in connection with the Farmers' 

 Course. These men were selected for 

 this particular recognition by the Uni- 

 versity because of their important 

 worli in the development of Wisconsin 

 agriculture. Dean H. L. Russell re- 

 viewed the life work of each man in 

 presenting them to President Charles 

 R. Van Hise who conferred the testi- 

 monials. 



Wm. Toole, of Baraboo, is well 

 known throughout Wisconsin and 

 many other states as one of the lead- 

 ing horticulturists of the country. 

 While he has been particularly a spe- 

 cialist in the improvement of the 

 pansy, he has also advocated better 

 methods of farming in all lines and 

 has also been instrumental in organiz- 

 ing a better type of social life in the 

 community in which he resides. 



Mr. Toole was born in Lancashire, 

 England, in 1841, and came to Rhode 

 Island a few years later. In 1S59 his 

 father moved to Sauk County, Wis- 

 consin. In 1SS7 he moved to his pres- 

 ent homestead known as Pansy 

 Heights, two miles from Baraboo. He 

 has built up an important business as 

 a dealer and grower in flower seeds 

 and plants with special attention to 

 the development and cultivation of 

 the pansy. He has been a leading 

 prize winner at many shows with this 

 flower, and has originated a number of 

 varieties of high quality. His most 

 valuable service to his community has 

 been through his work for better ed- 

 ucational facilities and as a prime 

 mover in the Wisconsin State Horti- 

 cultural Society. He was an early aa- 

 vocate of the strong College of Agri- 

 culture. He has held numerous 

 offices of farmers' organizations, and 

 for the past two years has been 

 president of the State Horticultural 

 Society, and for the past five years 

 has been president of the Skillet Creek 

 Farmers' Club, a social organization 

 of farmers which has secured country- 

 wide notice because of its work in aid- 

 ing the improvement of rural social 

 conditions. The influence of Mr. Toole 

 has been state-wide in favor of perma- 

 nent and substantial agriculture, and 

 it was for this unselfish service that 

 ie was recognized by the university.
