Newman1 Abstract Dr. Michael E. Newman presented the 2016 AAAE Distinguished Lecture at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Agricultural Education in Kansas City, Missouri in May, 2016. The article is a philosophical work based upon the author’s experiences in the agricultural education profession. Note: This presentation is available online at https://prezi.com/kfgwywcb6ghg/capital-a-capital-e-making/ (Newman, 2016). I ask all of you to answer a question for me. If you could meet one person from the past, who would it be? The first 100 of you to answer will included in the presentation a little later. Dr. Balschweid, I thank you for the honor of speaking to this group. A lot of people have done this mystery speech/distinguished lecture over the years, and, like most of them, I went back and read many of the previous ones published in the Journal of Agricultural Education. Of the last 30 years or so, I knew all but a few of the speakers, and have been taught by almost one-third of them. Of course, I reviewed them because I didn’t want to repeat something that someone else had said previously. At some point during that process, though, I realized that whatever I really wanted to say, someone has already said. (For example, I could say we need to do a better job with SAE today, which is exactly what was being said 30 years ago.) Still, I enjoyed the reading, as it reminded me of how much I have enjoyed the lectures over the years. So, my advice to those who have the honor of doing this in the future: ignore all of the old ones and just talk about what you want. That is what I am going to do, and I just hope that something I touch on today may reach some of you in a different way, perhaps coming from a different angle, so that you take away something you can use. I know it is possible for a distinguished lecture to be useful to someone in the audience, because I have experienced it personally. In Orlando in 2013, Tim Murphy gave the Southern Region distinguished lecture. In it, he described the components of a comprehensive agricultural education program that would maintain its viability into the future (he was citing L.H. Newcomb, 1992). I had read about these components when L.H. wrote about them in 1992, but they didn’t stick when I was a brand new assistant professor. In 2013, however, I was the still fairly new administrator of an agricultural education unit that had already been merged with other units into the School of Human Sciences at Mississippi State University (MSU). At that point
