President Dwight D. Eisenhower- an Honorary Morrill Chapter Member?! Who Knew?!
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!
“I remember it well,” said Brother James Poorbaugh ’63. Next to the President in the photo is Albert Cartwright who was Chancellor. Al is a retired veterinarian who lives in Glendale, CA. Behind him is David Clelland. The man at the back of the picture was Harry Poorbaugh. He was an advisory board member who was Associate Director of Ag Extension at Penn State. As I recall, the visit was set up through Herman Purdy who was on staff at Penn State and the Herdsman for the President’s heard at his farm in Gettysburg, Pa. It was kept very secret until the visit, but the papers covered it very well. Meeting the President was a real privilege and inspiration. We considered it a real nice recognition of what AZ stands for that the President would take time to come. Of course, his brother, Milton, was a Penn State President, which I am sure contributed as well as the Herman Purdy connection.”

Calling all Morrill Chapter alumni—the active chapter needs your help!
The fundraising season for THON 2016 is currently underway, but it has been a difficult fall for the THON community. Concern with the safety and sustainability of canning, one of the best-known methods of fundraising for the Dance Marathon, led to the cancellation of two designated canning weekends this year.
Now is your chance to make a change!
As it always seems to do, this year has flown by. Before we know it, the holidays will be over and 2016 will be staring us in the face. So, while you’re stuffing your face, opening presents, catching up with relatives, and drinking a glass (or six) of wine, think about what kind of goals you want to set for yourself for the new year. But don’t stop there! The New Year is the perfect time to make changes in every aspect of your life, including Alpha Zeta.
