AUIHORIZING RESOLUIION Resolution 180, 2006-2007 Adopting the 2006-20 I I Dane County Parks and Open Space Plan For thirty years the Dane County Parks and Open Space Plan has provided the foundation for preservation of key cultural, natural and historic resources that enhance the quality of life in Dane County. The Dane County Parks & Open Space Plan Update Advisory Sub-Committee has completed an update of the County Parks and Open Space Plan for the period of 2006-20 I I. The plan must be updated every five years in order to be eligible to apply for land acquisition and park development funding through the Wiscon­ sin Department of Natural Resources Knowles-Nelson Stewardship grant program. The planning process included six public informational meetings and nearly fifty individual meetings with local units of government, non-profit conservation organizations, and other state and federal agencies for the pur­ pose of soliciting input on recommendations to be included in the updated plan. The plan is used by the Dane County Park Commission as a guide for making future resource protection and park development deci­ sions over the next five years. It also provides the vision and framework for the Dane County Conservation Fund and land acquisition program. Participation by private land owners or local units of government to carry out any of the resource protection initiatives or park and trail development projects outlined in the plan is on a voluntary basis. This plan is not a land use plan or created for the purpose of guiding future zoning decisions. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dane County Board of Supervisors and the Dane County Executive approves and adopts the

  • Babcock History Only.Indd
    IndexIndex Babcock History Page 2 In The News Page 14 Memories Page 21 Stephen Moulton Babcock Stephen Moulton Babcock graduated B.A. from Tufts College in 1866 and received a Ph.D. from the University of Göttingen, Germany, in 1879. After working as a teacher and chemist in New York, he joined the staff of the University of Wisconsin, where was professor of agricultural chemistry from 1887 to 1913 and remained for the next 43 years. He was also chief chemist of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. The test, which bears his name, was an outgrowth of necessity, as is so often the case with inventions. Dairying was becoming an important industry in Wisconsin and its future depended on an accurate and easy method to determine the intrinsic value of milk. When presented in 1890, the test brought international recognition to the University of Wisconsin. Here he established a laboratory that carried out pioneering research in nutrition and in the chemistry of vitamins. Babcock’s experimental studies in the food requirements of animals paved the way for the work of the American chemist Elmer Verner McCollum (1879-1967) on vitamin A, and it was in Babcock’s laboratory at the university the biochemist Harry Steenbock discovered vitamin D, the sunlight vitamin. Babcock invented an apparatus to determine the viscosity of liquids. The last two decades of his life were spent in basic research on the nature of matter and its relation to energy. Interestingly, Babcock felt that he should derive no personal gain from his testing device, his most famous invention, and no patent was taken out.

E LVEH J EM Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1954 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. f EDWIN BRET HART 1874-1953 BY CONRAD A. ELVEHJEM In a short obituary of Dr. S. M. Babcock, Professor E. B. Hart started with these words, "To have enjoyed for a quarter of a century the intimate and steadfast friendship of a professional associate and a truly great man is, indeed, a rare privilege, and yet such has been my good fortune in my associa- tion with Stephen Moulton Babcock." Similarly, I have had the good fortune of knowing Professor Hart for a period of 32 years. I first met him as a student in an elementary course in agricultural chemistry in 1921. In my senior year he called me to his office and told me to take over teaching duties in the laboratory immediately since one of the assistants was leaving for a new position. Many of his teaching and research assistants were appointed under similar circumstances. This was the beginning of my close association and intimate friendship with this great teacher, research worker and advisor—an association which continued until the time of his death. During the past twenty-five years hardly a day passed that we did not meet for a conference or just a chat.
