On March 25, the University threw a 90th birthday party for one of its most distinguished alums--Norman Borlaug. The guest of honor couldn't be there, so about 100 faculty members, researchers, and students celebrated by his statue in front of Borlaug Hall on the Twin Cities campus in St. Paul. This week, the Minnesota Legislature also named October 16 "Dr. Norman E. Borlaug World Food Prize Day."

"He is credited with saving more lives than any other scientist and his work hasn't stopped," says [Charles Muscoplat, dean of the College of Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Sciences (COAFES)].
