"We believe" he said, "that this
reorganization will result in an
improved agricultural program in
the state. We are mapping an ex-
pansion of this program, and in
creased service to farmers"
The staff changes have been ap-
proved by the University of Della
ware Board Of Trustees committee
on agriculture and by Secretary of
Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson
and other officials of the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. The De-
partment cOoperates with the land
grant colleges in formulating and
carrying out the agricultural re-
search and extension programs in
the various states.
Mr.. Worrilow who has been as
sOciated with the University for 20
years in various capacities in the
Extension Service, meanwhile has
been close to the research work
carried on by the Experimental Sta
ton on the college farms and in
the research laboratory. In the de-
yelOpment of the research pro-
gram, Director WOrrilOw will have
the aid of DR.. Allan p. Colburn,
assistant to the president and ad-
visor on research. DR.. Colburn will
act in a consulting capacity only.
In both his capacities, Mr.. WOrri-
low will be responsible directly to-
President Carlson.
A native of Cecil County, Mary
land, Mr.. WOrrilOw was reared on
a farm there and was active in An
club work. In 1922, he was men,
Der of the International An Dairy
Cattle Judging Team that repre-
sented this country in England. He
was graduated from the University
Of Maryland in 1927 with the de-
gree Of bachelor of science in agri-
culture. After a brief period in
ARCHAEOLOGICAL control and re-
search work for a Baltimore dairy,
he entered the University of Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice in September, 1927, as an as
sistant county agent.
In July, 1923, he was promoted
to county club agent, and in 1885
he became State All Club Leader.
In 1886 ne was promoted to CoUn-
ty Agricultural Agent, adding the
duties Of Extension Dairy Special
ist to his county agents work in
1871.
Mr.. WOrrilOw was appointed as
acting associate director of extern
sion on January 1, 194S, and on
July 1, 1g45. he was promoted to
his present position of Associate
Director of the Extension Service
and extension professor. In the
past two and one-half years he has
had many of the responsibilities
for administration of the extension
program IN his work he has work
ed closely with the Department of
Agriculture, and has conferred on
numerous occasions with the Sec
retarV of Agriculture. At the pres
ent time Mr.. WOrrilOw is chairman
of the Northeast Extension Direc-
tors Conference. He is also a mem

ternity.
M. L. Wilson, director of ex-
tension work for the Department of
/ Agriculture, commented that. "Our
relations with Mr.. WOrrilOw have
always been excellent and we know
they will continue to be So" r. w.
y Trullinger assistant administrator
of the Agricultural Research Ad-
ministration of the Department of
Agriculture, stated that I'VE have
known Mr.. WOrrilOw for many
years as an extension administra-
tor and have confidence in his adj
ministrative judgment and ability.
We know that he always has been
a strong advocate of close and con-
! structiVe coordination of the agri-
cultural research and extension
work. We are fully in accord with
that policy and express the hope
that his appointment to the direc-
torship of both services, which will
again combine these two important
activities in your institution un-
der one head without the added bur-
den Of the college deanship, will
serve the agriculture of your state
even better than before"
Dean Schuster has been on the
University's staff since April, 1920.
Before becoming both dean and di-
rector of the experimental and ex-
tension facilities nine years ago,
succeeding the late G. A. McCue, he
