Presently he is busy terminating his responsibilities at the Geneva Station of Cornell University. We look forward to his arrival and are excited about the future of our Department. This has been a good year for the Department. Probably the best news is that the State Legislature appropriated $574,000 to prepare working drawings for additions to the Plant Pathology, Agronomy and Soils buildings. The total building program, which we hope will be approved by the 1980 Legislature, calls for over $14,000,000 and will provide our Department with 24,654 square feet of additional space. In addition, the Department will share a 250-seat lecture room. A committee will soon start planning the new buildings and although there was some thought of having working drawings ready for the 1979 Legislature, this will not be possible. We are optimistic, however, that the building will be started in 1980. The location of the new structure has not been decided but very likely it will fill part of the space between the west ends of the present Agronomy and Pathology buildings. In addition to acquiring some new space, Plant Pathology will take over the two floors of the Plant Science building now occu- pied by Agronomy and Soils. The Plant Science building, which was built in 1966, will thus be occupied entirely by Plant Pathology. Approval of the planning funds by the Legislature demonstrates their interest and support for agriculture. We are most appreciative of the support we had from many organizations in the state. The added space will greatly enhance our research programs and we are optimistic that we will finally have the teaching facilities that we have needed for many years. New space is especially important be- cause we now have 45 graduate students with more in prospect. Our regular staff is growing and we have accommodated a number of visiting scientists. To help alleviate space problems we are in the process of converting the basement of the headhouse into offices for graduate students. The storeroom on the first floor (Room 111) will be modified to provide space for the mycotoxicology project which had to evacuate their space in 201 so the air pollution project could expand. Mycotoxicology is also occupying space in Veterinary Medicine and the College of Biological Science. More storage space was sacrificed to expand the EM facility in Plant Science. In spite of limited space, research progress has been gratifying. Over 50 papers were published in 1977, which does not include several chapters for books. Presently the Department is advertising three staff positions. We are looking for a cereal pathologist (actually announced as a wheat pathologist), who will work on non-rust diseases of cereals, cooperating with Agronomy in developing disease resistant varieties. Another position is in epidemiology to replace Dr. Shrum. Still a third posi- tion is that of Assistant Extension Specialist to replace John Mizicko. It is hoped that all of these positions can be filled by Fall, 1978. The Plant Heal th Technology undergraduate program continues i ts development and gradually more satisfactory programs are being evolved. At present about 70 students are enrolled, making the teaching load greater in a number of courses. In the graduate group, Principles of Plant Pathology will be taught by Dick Zeyen, starting Spring, 1979. John Skelly taught the course in forest pathology this Spring and the Department enjoyed having him with us. The students enjoyed the course, and from all reports, John enjoyed a party in his honor the night before he left. We hope he made it home with his station wagon loaded with class material. The Department has profited much by the presence of people like John Skelly and John Ayers. Dr. Ayers will be with us for 6 months working on diseases of small grains. A shorter visit which was a highlight for many of us was Alex Shigo's 3-day stay which included 3 lectures and special discussion sessions with students and faculty. A recent bit of good news is that the College of Agriculture has received "equ i ty" funds, to he1 p adjust salaries of the facul ty . Dr. Stakman, who suffered a paralytic stroke July 19, 1977, is now living in The Presbyterian Home on Lake Johanna, just a few miles north of the campus. He has a large, sunny room and has access to their lovely grounds which have been nicely landscaped. He is now receiving physical therapy and apparently is contented with his situation. He thoroughly enjoyed his birthday party at a local restaurant. Everyone should remember that the annual meeting of the Phytopath- ological Society will be held in Minneapolis in 1980 and we hope all of the Old Timers, including the recent ones, will take the opportunity to visit the Department.

    OldNEWSLETTER Girls’ AUTUMN 2017 Guildford High School WESTMINSTER ABBEY Reunion On the evening of Friday 8th September, over 150 former pupils and staff met at the East Cloister, Westminster Abbey, to celebrate Guildford High School. Mrs Fiona Boulton, Headmistress, offered a warm welcome to all of those present. We were delighted that former Headmistress, Mrs Sue Singer, was able to attend, along with many other Old Girls, Head Girls and members of the Local Governing Body. The event was well attended by our more recent leavers, but we welcomed Old Girls from the 1960s onwards, ensuring a wonderful array of memories from many years of the school’s history. The evening was both fun and memorable and we would like to thank everyone who attended. 2 3 WESTMINSTER Top left: Ella Khalek, Sylvie Clement and Lottie Fowler Top : Natasha Webb, Julia Pamilih, Amanda Whybro, Rachel Byrne and Poppy Miller ABBEY Middle left: Eleanor McIlwraith-Jay, Rosemary Carr, Louise Curtis and Kate Denny Middle left: Millie Horton-Insch and Alice Whitfield Middle right: Verity Crossley and Emily Newton Middle right: Oonagh Cousins, Virginia Szepietowski, Emilie Sims and Will Saunders Bottom left: Sophie-Anne Brown and Ella Khalek Bottom left: Harriet Gordon, Catherine Bird and Beth Craig-Geen Reunion Bottom right: Katherine Hargreaves, Miranda Venables and Heather Dudley Bottom right: Naomi Murray, Amy Longdon, Catherine Kirk and Katrina Sloan #inspiringgirls 4 5 WESTMINSTER ABBEY Top left: Catherine Gilmore, Philippa Davies and Thea Gardner Top left: Anna-Maria
