Loder Cup, 1951 Award
pOR the second year in succession the Loder Cup has been awarded to a prominent member of our Society, this time Professor L. W. McCaskill, M. Agr. Sc., of Canterbury Agricultural College, Lincoln. Professor McCaskill is an original member of our Society.
His work for the Society has been considerable. He has formed and been the moving spirit of sections of the Society, both at Dunedin and Christchurch, the latter a. still very flourishing body under his chairmanship. The Cup was awarded to him for his outstanding advocacy in favour of native plants and trees throughout his lecturing career, an advocacy backed by concrete achievements in the planting of gardens of such plants, the preservation of a rare species in its habitat and even in sending New Zealand material to botanic gardens overseas.
As the Cup is awarded annually for notable work in encouraging the preservation and cultivation of New Zealand flora, Professor McCaskill is a worthy recipient.
