Vocational/Technical Adult 

 Education 



Since the 1950s or earlier, Agricul- 

 tural Education as a program offered 

 both the B.S. and M.S. degrees. It be- 

 came the Department of Occupational 

 Education in 1971, with W. H. Annis 

 as chairman, and the Vocational/ 

 Technical Adult Education depart- 

 ment in 1987. Financial support comes

The O. J. Hubbard Fund 



Between 1976 and 1983 O. J. Hubbard 

 of Walpole, New Hampshire contrib- 

 uted a total of some $413,000 to the 



University of New Hampshire, the 

 earned income from which shall be 

 used by the Department of Animal 

 Sciences. The purpose of the Fund is 

 "to improve poultry and animal sci- 

 ence education at both the under- 

 graduate and graduate level at the 

 University of New Hampshire, and for 

 scholarship aid when desirable." In 

 any fiscal year scholarship allotments 

 are not to exceed twenty-five percent 

 of the available income from the Fund. 

 Mr. Hubbard is particularly interested 

 in genetics, and it is his desire that, 

 whenever practical, activity in this 

 field be given priority. Income from 

 the Fund has been and continues to be 

 used for a variety of projects, includ- 

 ing research, and supports activities 

 which otherwise would not be fea- 

 sible.
