OF THE SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB 95 
FROM PROFESSOR’S CHAIR TO PRINCE’S PADDOCK 
32. Foremost among the contingent of students of animal 
husbandry to leave the gates of the Ontario Agricultural College, 
and carry the message of modern livestock practice to America, 
is WiLLiam Levi CARLYLE. PROFESSOR CARLYLE was instructor 
in the Ontario Agricultural College for the school year 1892-93, 
and was so successful that he was called to the University of 
Minnesota for the next three years as an extension lecturer in 
Animal Husbandry. Here his acquaintance among American 
livestock men was rapidly broadened, and in 1896 he was elected 
to the University of Wisconsin as Professor of Animal Hus- 
bandry, to succeed the lamented Craic (24). For seven years 
he pursued a series of practical investigations in the feeding 
and management of livestock, cooperating with DEan Henry 
(20) in his studies on the food requirements of cattle and sheep 
under midwest systems of handling. While at Madison he 
inspired numerous young men with the vision of improved live- 
stock, and numbers of his students went back to the farm to 
succeed as breeders, or went to other institutions to carry on the 
message of a better husbandry. Prominent among the latter are 
’TruE of California, TRowsRipceE of Missouri, RicHARDS of 
North Dakota, Morton of Colorado, DopcE of Hood Farm and 
SCHROEDER of the Wisconsin Agriculturist. In 1903 he was 
made professor of agriculture at the Colorado Agricultural 
College, and two years later was elected dean. In 1909 due to 
an unusual political situation he resigned his post, and the fol- 
lowing year was made director of the experiment station and 
dean of agriculture at the University of Idaho. Here his suc- 
cess was instantaneous, and he made strenuous efforts to upbuild 
the herds of cattle and sheep at the college and to introduce 
purebred sires of both races into the state. In 1915 DEAN Car- 
LYLE was made dean and director of agriculture at the Okla- 
homa A. & M. College at Stillwater. Here he made strong
