Bio/Historical Note: W.J. Rutherford, first Dean of Agriculture, was said to have an "obsession" and a "love affair" with Clydesdale horses. Purchases were made of the breed in Britain, United States and throughout Canada. Troubles plagued the university in their breeding program with the disease "Swamp Fever". Alexander M. Shaw became dean after Rutherford’s death and continued the breeding program. The final stallion used in the breeding program was the imported "Windlaw Proprietor", Grand champion stallion at the 1946 Royal Winter Fair.
