Liberty Hyde Bailey, '82, Says Life Has Been And Still Is A Great Adventure

By Magrieta Gunn, '39

^ITH eighty years of preparation I am now "Wread y for many new enterprises that lie before me, and life has been and still is a great adventure." So wrote Liberty Hyde Bailey, '82, on his 80th birth­ day in response to a telegram of congratulations from President Robert S. Shaw on March 15. And these words typify the spirit of adventure and exploration that have made Dr. Bailey one of Michigan State's most distinguished alumni, the world renowned scie- tist, author, educator, and editor. As world authority on horticulture and botany, Dr. Bailey has been called the modern Luther Burbank. More than this, he is considered the successor of Emer­ son, Thoreau, and Burroughs in the artistic expression of life. Since his retirement as dean of agriculture at Cornell university in 1913, Dr. Bailey has devoted himself to building up his extensive plant collection, one of the largest private herbariums in the country, "... I am now ready for many new enterprises." besides writing over 50 books on cultivated plants and gardens, and editing over 50 more. Six of the books selected for the "List of Books for College Libraries" the Michigan State Pomological Society in 1873. Included by Charles P. Shaw were written by Liberty Hyde Bailey. in this essay, which it is said, would have done credit to a Moreover, he is regarded as the foremost living author and college senior, was the first poem Bailey ever wrote. editor in the field of agricultural literature, and his Standard After his graduation from Michigan State college, where Cyclopedia of Horticulture, and the more recent Hortus, in he received his M.S. degree, Dr. Bailey gave up a promising which his daughter collaborated, are standard authorities for and paying position as newspaper reporter at Springfield, all who work with plants.
