who heve known him well regret that in some way :eSOlutions could not have
been formulated to the living.

If these resolutions were addressed to Roy Tabb, the Salutation well
might be: To One Who Served Magnificently His University, His State, and
His Nation. He was proud to be called a university professor.

Roy Tabb was held in high esteem by his colleagues on the University
campus. He was liked and admired for his high standards. cammOn sense,
scholarship, and devotion to his work. He was an insniretion to the faculty
of the College of Education. of which he was a member. We were always proud
to acknowledge the fact that he was one of our own.

The two following statements indicate how highly Mr. Tabb was regrrded
in agricultural education outside the state. The staff of the Department
Of Agricultural Education at the University of Missouri says; His "many
contributions made in the field of teacher education have had a profound
influence on the program of vocational agriculture throughOut the United
States." The Indiana state supervisor of agricultural education says:

"All of us considered him to be one of the leading teacher trainers in

L.)

agricultural education in our region."

Mr. Tabb’s ideas were sought by many people and many agencies when
there was a desire to "think the thing through“ or to get directly at
significant ideas and principles. He was a past master in detecting sham,
pretence, weakness in argument, insincerity, and lack of effectiVeness or
accomplishment. He was able to think in terms of large units and would
often see possibilities of accomplishment that his co-workers had not
dreamed of. At the time of his death Mr. Tabb was on his way home from
Washington, D. C., where he and Dean Dickey had been in conference with the
U. S. Commissioner of Education, on a proposed research project.

Mr. Tabb, born in Grayson County, Kentucky, in 1905, was grnduated
from Western State College in 1926 and was awarded an M.S. degree by the
University of Kentucky in 1938. Immediately after graduating from Western
State College, Mr. Tabb taught vocational agriculture at Frenchburg for
two years. He was agriculture teacher and high-school principal at
fiawesville frOm 1928 to 1937. He had been on the University of Kentucky
faculty since 1938.

Mrs Tabb ”as the coaauthor of two books and was largely responsible for
the graduate teacher training and follow-up work in the adultsfarmer program
and in farm shop mechanics education in vocational agriculture in the State.
He believed in farming as a business undertaking, carried on by people who
make their living from the land.
knewn, he kept abreast of the develonments in agriculture, which contributed
to the high regard in which teachers of agriculture held him.
