Senn, professor of horticulture and head of this department at Clemson. Dr. Senn is the first pro fessor in the South to receive the L. M. Ware Distinguished Teaching Award, and the fifth recipient of the award since its establishment on a national basis in 1963. This is the second time in six months that Dr. Senn has been cited for his outstanding contributions to horticulture as a teacher. In February, the Newberry native won the soc iety’s regional L. M. Ware Distinguished Teaching Award for the South. Dr. Senn joined the Clem son faculty in 1939 after grad uating from Clemson. He has been head of the horticulture department since 1960. The national award—an en graved plaque and $100 check —was presented to Dr. Senn during the society’s 65th an nual meeting at the University of California’s Davis campus last week. He also was selected for a four-year term on the society’s Education Committee and will serve as it chairman in 1970-71. Dr. Senn’s notable career as a teacher and counselor spans some 20 years, most of which he served at Clemson. He has a reputation among students and faculty as a teacher inter ested in his students, personal ly and academically, who in stills in them a thirst for knowledge and a desire for achievement, and as one who holds high academic standards. His versatility and breadth of knowledge, as a teacher and researcher, is evidenced by the fact that he has taught seven different courses through the years at Clemson, is co-author of the widely-used textbook, ‘‘Fundamentals of Horticul ture,” and is the author or co author of 83 scientific and technical papers and publica tions. However, Dr. Senn’s teaching isn’t limited to the classroom. He initiated and is the princi pal speaker on two weekly ra dio programs, “The Plant Pro fessor” and “Accent,” and a weekly Educational Television show, “At Home,” all of which are carried by stations through out South Carolina. He fre quently uses students to assist him with the programs. Postoffice to close Sept. 2 Monday, September 2, 1968, Labor Day, being a legal Hol iday, the Post Office will be closed.
