74 A IIIS'l'dUY OF 8H0KTI10KNS IxV KANSAS 



It s(M»ii Ijccaiiie evident that the Board of 

 Regents had made a serious mistake wlien it 

 issued tlie order that no pure bred live stock 

 sh<.)uhl ))e kejjt on tlie collegx; farm, and Pj'ofessoi' 

 Cottrell was finally permitted in I'JOl to pur- 

 (diase pure bred representatives of several breeds 

 (if live stock. In this purchase were three; Sliort- 

 liorns. Tlie same year a Shorthorn heifer 

 was donated to tlie college hy T. K. Tomson & 

 Sons of Dover. 



Professor Cottrell resigned early in 1902 and 

 the live stock work was placed in charge of a 

 dairy husbandman. This arrangement continued 

 until Sc'ijtember 1905 when a separate depart- 

 ment (jf Animal Husbandry was created and li. 

 d. Kinzer placed in charge as Professor of 

 Animal Husbandry. The growth of the depart- 

 ment under Professor Kinzer was little short of 

 marvelous. The Shorthorn herd he built up 

 from 1905 to 1911 without any appropriation 

 from the legislature was one of which any l)i'eed- 

 er would have been proud. 



The first Shorthorn bull used was Eavenswood 

 Admiration, a son of LaA'cnder Viscount out of 

 a, gi-and(hiuglitcr <>i' (Juml)erhind oOfi^li. Ho was 

 followtnl ])y Ijavender Viceroy 2239;1G, anothei' 

 son of Lavender Viscount out of a dauglitcr of 

 Baron Lavender 2d 72G10. One of his sons, 

 Orange La.A'cndei' 295G70, dropped on the college 

 fai-Jii in 190(i, was the next l)ull used. St. Clair
