POSTHUMOUS HALL OF DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI
Henry Carlisle Besuden was born in Winchester in 1904, and earned a bachelor’s degree in agriculture from the University of Kentucky in 1926. He played center on UK's basketball team during the 1925 to 1926 season. In 1965, Besuden became one of 30 athletes
to receive the Centennial Athletic Medallion. Known by sheep breeders throughout the world for his contributions to the industry, he
served as president and director of the American Southdown Association, vice president and board member of the International Livestock Show, Chicago, and a member of the Governor's Commission on Agriculture. Besuden won 12 grand championships in 18 tries
at the International Livestock Exposition. His portrait was presented to the Saddle and Sirloin Club in 1971. Besuden was also a conservationist. In 1950, he received the Green Pasture Award for outstanding conservation practices, the highest award given by the
Kentucky Soil Conservation Service. In 1962, Besuden received the Golden Sheaf Award from UK for outstanding agricultural
achievements. In 1975, he was named to the UK Hall of Distinguished Alumni and received the College of Agriculture Distinguished Award for leadership, loyalty and service that same year. Mr. Besuden died in 1985.
William G. Finn served as associate professor in agricultural economics at UK from 1924 to 1931 before transferring to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. He served in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Adjustment Administration and Production and Marketing Administration. During World War II, he represented the interests of agriculture on the Strategic Materials Commission and the Munitions Board. In 1949, following the introduction of the Marshall Plan, he transferred from
agriculture to the U.S. Department of State, and was assigned to the U.S. Regional Organizations for Europe, with headquarters in
Paris. In 1954, he was named Director of Food and Agriculture at the European Mission. He retired from government service in
1961. Born in Burlington, Finn graduated from UK with a degree in agriculture in 1923. Mr. Finn died in 1986.
William C. Johnstone spent a large portion of his career with the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, where he
worked as a county agent and later as a specialist. He graduated from UK in 1916 with a bachelor’s degree in horticulture. He spent
about seven years teaching agriculture in Brazil before joining UK. After serving a few years as a county agent, Johnstone began working in Lexington researching cover crops and their use to stop erosion. Johnstone became the chief proponent of the Kentucky 31
fescue variety that had recently been discovered in Kentucky. In 1945, Johnstone devised the extension project known as the Corn
Derby as a means of awakening farmers to the potentials in corn production and followed its success with the Kentucky Green Pastures Program, aimed at improving pastures in the state. Johnstone left the university after 29 years to become the agricultural representative for the Kentucky Bankers Association. Johnstone fescue, developed in the early 1970’s by UK and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, was named in his honor. He died in 1978.
Joseph Hoeing Kastle received a Bachelor of Science in 1884 and a master’s degree in 1886 from UK. He went on to receive a
doctorate in chemistry from Johns Hopkins University. A native Lexingtonian, he returned to UK as a professor in 1888 and led
the general, organic and agricultural chemistry program until 1905 when he left to become chief of the Division of Chemistry at
the U.S. Public Health and Marine Hospital Service. The UK Alumni Association traces its history to 1889, when Kastle persuaded
a few of his fellow faculty members who were also UK graduates to establish an alumni club. He served as the organization’s president from 1891-1902. From 1909 to 1911, he was chair of chemistry at the University of Virginia. In 1911, he returned to UK to
head the Department of Chemical Research in the Agricultural Experiment Station. One year later, he was named director of the
experiment station and held that role until his death in 1916 at age 53. He was also dean of the College of Agriculture from 1912 until just a few weeks
prior to his death. Kastle Hall on the UK campus was named in his honor.
William Davis Salmon was internationally known for his contributions to human and animal nutrition and played a key role in the
development of the livestock industry in Alabama. Born in Metcalfe County in 1895, he received a degree in agriculture at UK in
1920. Salmon initiated pathology studies associated with nutritional deficiencies. Among his significant contributions was showing
that vitamin B actually was a complex of vitamins. He was a research professor of animal nutrition and an animal nutritionist at Auburn University. He became head of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Nutrition in 1950, where he enlarged the department's staff and began an expanded research program on breeding, feeding and management of cattle, hogs and sheep. He retired
from the staff of the Auburn University Experiment Station in 1965. Mr. Salmon died in 1966.
Jesse Washington Tapp was born in Corydon on Jan. 2, 1900 and received his bachelor’s degree in agriculture at UK in 1920. He
would go on to a distinguished career in banking, retiring in 1965 as chairman of the board of Bank of America, a position he held
for 10 years. Prior to his affiliation with the bank, he joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he was engaged in research
and administrative work in agricultural economics. He moved to the National Investors Corporation eight years later, working as an
economist until 1933, when he rejoined the USDA as an administrator in various agencies, including heading the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation from 1937 to 1939 and also directing the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation from 1938-1939. Tapp
began his banking career as vice president in Bank of America’s San Francisco office in 1939. He left the bank briefly during World
War II to serve as associate administrator of the U.S. War Food Administration in 1943 and as president of the Axton-Fisher Tobacco Company in Louisville from 1943 to 1945. He served on numerous business and community boards and organizations and acted in an advisory capacity for a number of governmental committees. Mr. Tapp died in 1967.

College of Agriculture, Food and Environment Students help DanceBlue
Raise $1,615,057.18
With sore feet, worn-out bodies and emotions running high, committee members revealed a grand fundraising total of
$1,615,057.18 at the 10th annual DanceBlue dance marathon to a crowd of several thousand people.
Whether participating as a dancer, volunteer, committee member or even just a supporter, DanceBlue is something no one
ever forgets, especially the last few hours. With a family talent show featuring children from the clinic and an emotional memorial hour to remember those who have lost their battle with cancer, the reveal this afternoon was a much anticipated moment for so many people at UK.
This year was special as DanceBlue celebrated its 10th anniversary. A large contingent of DanceBlue alumni joined the crowd
to celebrate the reveal of the fundraising total.
It all began in 2006 by raising $123,323.16 and has increased every year. With this year's total, DanceBlue has contributed
more than $8.1 million dollars to the Golden Matrix Fund and the DanceBlue Kentucky Children's Hospital Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic.
More than 800 dancers completed DanceBlue. All of the money raised at this annual 24-hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance
marathon benefits children with cancer and their families and cancer research.
"When we began this journey almost a year ago, every person involved with DanceBlue was committed, and determined, to
make this year our most successful yet. But, when we said, successful, we knew that word meant so much more than just raising more money than last year," said Jonathan York, DanceBlue chair. "We wanted to have 800 dancers that represented the
entire UK student body, we wanted to spread our mission throughout the state of Kentucky, and, most importantly, we
wanted to give the kids of the DanceBlue clinic as much love and support as we possibly could. All the work that has been
done by this year's DanceBlue committee, coordinators and, chairs, has allowed us to accomplish these goals. This weekend
is the perfect way to celebrate their work, and the children we love so much. I will cherish leading this group, and being a
part of this organization over the past four years for the rest of my life. For The Kids, forever and always.'
Everyone at DanceBlue was there for a reason this weekend. They were there for a cure, for hope and most importantly, for
the kids.

Dow AgroSciences names Enlist field Specialist
Dow AgroSciences continues to provide in-field technical resources with regional field specialists for the
Enlist™ Weed Control System. Ryan Keller ‘11 will support the Upper Midwest.
“We are pleased to bring our new field specialists on board as a valuable resource for our growers, applicators
and retailers,” says John Kalthoff, cross platform portfolio marketing leader, Dow AgroSciences. “Located
across the country, our field specialist team is dedicated to working with customers to help them confidently
adopt the Enlist system.”
Keller will be a field-based technical resource in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. His
experience includes serving as a crop protection sales representative for Dow AgroSciences in western Kentucky
and a sales representative with Pennington Seed. Keller holds a bachelor’s degree in horticultural soil science
from the University of Kentucky.
As experts in weed management, application technology and crop research, the field specialists serve as regional
resources for the Enlist™ system. They also are integral to Enlist Ahead, a benefits-based, management resource
tool designed to help growers, applicators and retailers get the best results from the Enlist system — today and
in the future.
Dow AgroSciences discovers, develops, and brings to market crop protection and plant biotechnology solutions for the growing world.
UK fires up its Campus Kitchen
Thanks to a successful marketing campaign, University of Kentucky students have launched their own Campus Kitchen and several Lexington
residents now know where their next meal is coming from. The Campus Kitchens Project is a national organization that empowers student
volunteers to fight hunger in their community. The Campus Kitchen at the University of Kentucky provides free, nutritious meals to
Lexington citizens by using food that would otherwise go to waste. Through a partnership with UK’s dining partner Aramark, students
recently began collecting unused food from locations such as dining halls, grocery stores, restaurants and farms. Program organizers estimate
they will collect enough food to provide several hundred Lexingtonians with a meal each week. The Campus Kitchen group at UK has
partnered with the Lexington Senior Center, Catholic Action Center, Hope Center and the Martin Luther King Academy to reach those in
need.
"Recent gleaning efforts of pumpkins and kale greens at UK's Horticultural Research Farm, along with baked chicken from a universitysanctioned picnic, helped feed 50 young individuals,” said Sandra Bastin, chair of the UK Department of Dietetics and Human Nutrition in
the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. “University students experienced the importance of community outreach in meeting a
basic human need. The department is excited about the difference the student-led Campus Kitchen at the University of Kentucky can make in
finding hunger solutions for our community."
The national organization, The Campus Kitchens Project Inc., was founded in 2001 with the goal of empowering college students to fight local
hunger and to raise awareness about poverty, garden initiatives, nutrition education and food policy. UK’s is the first in Kentucky. “We are
thrilled to welcome the University of Kentucky to The Campus Kitchens Project network,” said Laura Toscano, director of The Campus
Kitchens Project. “With the launch of their Campus Kitchen, students will not only recover unused food to create meals for those in need, but
they will also create programs that support the community and develop themselves as student leaders in the process.”
In October, students in the UK Department of Dietetics and Human Nutrition had one week to encourage supporters to vote daily for their
video on the Campus Kitchens website http://www.campuskitchens.org/aarp. Of the five schools that participated, UK received the most
votes. As a result, they received a $5,000 grant sponsored by AARP Foundation to start a kitchen.
Tammy Stephenson, assistant professor and adviser to the student group, said not only are the students giving to others, but they are learning
beneficial lessons at the same time. “Students develop real-life skills that cannot be taught in the classroom, including leadership, problemsolving and interpersonal communication skills,” she said. “The student leaders of the Campus Kitchen at the University of Kentucky,
including President Walter
Brown, have spent many months
meeting with community and
campus partners to establish this
program, and we are so proud of
their relentless efforts.”
In the last academic year, 36
Campus Kitchens across the
country rescued more than
939,000 pounds of food and
served nearly 272,000 meals to
over 8,500 clients.
