Shepardson To Address C.S.U. Commencement
FORT COLLINS -- An address by one of Colorado State University's more noted alumni, Charles N. Shepardson, will feature the Aug. 14 summer commencement exercise at the University.

Shepardson, a 1917 graduate of CSU and now a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, D.C., also will be awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the school in recognition of his distinguished achievement.

The graduates and faculty will begin gathering at 10 a.m. near Ammons Hall and the commencement program will start at 10:30 a.m. in the Oval. There are 79 candidates for bachelor's degrees and 60 students are candidates for master's degrees.

An honor student and a three-times All-Conference football center at CSU, Shepardson went on to earn wide recognition as a leader in agriculture, economics and banking. Following his graduation from CSU in 1917, he served as an Army captain overseas in World War I. In 1919 he took a position as animal husbandman for the Wyoming University Extension department.

Shepardson, a native of Littleton, returned to CSU as associate professor of animal husbandry from 1920 to 1928. In the meantime he received a master's degree in 1924 from Iowa State College. He was appointed head of the dairy husbandry department at Texas A&M College in 1928 and in 1944 he was named Dean of Agriculture at the college.

He led a dairy development program in Texas at a time when the cotton industry was in economic distress and when there was an interest in dairying as a means of providing a better balanced farm program. His contribution of technical knowledge vital to the improvement of the agricultural program in Texas and neighboring states was recognized by his appointment in 1950 as a director of the Federal Reserve Bank and later by his appointment to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

In four years on the latter assignment Shepardson has come to be regarded nationally as one of the outstanding members of the Board. Shepardson has held offices in a number of organizations. He served as chairman of the resident instruction section of the Association of Land Grant Colleges and Universities in 1947, from 1940 to 1943 he was director of the American Jersey Cattle Club. He was president of the Texas Dairy Products Assn. from 1942 to 1944. He also was a member of the Texas Board of Examiners for Teacher Education from 1953-55 and a member of the National Education Assn. He is on the Inter-American Committee for Dairy Industry, a member of the American Science Assn.; and in 1937 he was a U. S. delegate to the World Dairy Congress in Berlin.

Shepardson and his wife set up in 1956 the Shepardson fund. Its purpose is to encourage young members of the CSU teaching staff to make their professional careers in teaching and to assist them in improving their competence as teachers.
