A Decennial Recokd 109 



also into the work of the University of Wisconsin and to see for your- 

 selves the way in which the university has heen translating its knowl- 

 edge into i^ower along the lines which President Birge has so kindly 

 pointed out to us in his very interesting talk. I do not helieve his 

 talk was at all too "higlibrow" for the friends of the laboratory, as 

 I am personally acquainted with many of them and know tliey can 

 grasp it and digest it. I thank you, President Birge. 



We now come to what I might call the third layer of this sand- 

 wich, as President Birge has pointed it out, and it has been somewhat 

 of a ])roblem for me to know Avhat to say in the way of presenting him. 

 He does not need any introduction. I have not been able to talk 

 about his work or his institution because he is going to do that; and 

 I cannot talk alxnit liim personally because I know liim too well for 

 that, and, furtliermore, it would be rather unfair for me to take ad- 

 vantage of his natural modesty. So, after thinking it over, I have 

 decided I would follow the advice I once saw written on the black- 

 board of our laboratory. It said. "When in deep Mater keep your 

 mouth shut." 



I am now going to state that we will have the pleasure of listening 

 to the man who lias worked so loyally and ably to make the Forest 

 Products La])oratory the institution you will see today, and, of course, 

 that refers to none otiier than C. P. Winslow, best known to all his 

 personal friends as "Cap".
