Both have returned to farming since graduation. The annual Carr Scholarships, worth $3,500, are an endowment from the estate of Samuel Leister Carr to graduates whose university career has included involvement in campus and community activities as well as a good academic record. The winners must be active farmers. McCutcheon received the Samuel Leister Carr Scholarship, awarded to graduates of the four-year degree pro- gram in agriculture. Harris received the William Park Carr Scholarship, awarded to graduates of the two-year diploma program in agriculture. McCutcheon, who took over from his father on January 1, operates a dairy herd of 40 milking cows. He has been active in 4-H projects and has won a number of awards, including the Canadian National Exhibition Scholar- ship in 1983. As a student, McCutcheon was on his class executive and involved in College Royal, the Junior Farmer Club, livestock judging competitions, and intramural sports. He was chair- man of the Canadian Intercollegia.e Judging Competition and a provincial director of Junior Farmers. Harris also comes from a dairy farm, where he is building up his stake in the herd based on his 4-H calves and their progeny. He has won a number of trophies and awards through 4-H. Since graduation, he has assumed herdsmanship responsibilities at home while his father looks after other farm activities. He has also been active in church and athletic activities in his community. As a student, Harris was involved in student clubs, athletics, the square- dance team, and the College Classic auction sale of purebred livestock. Carr, who provided the endow- ment, farmed in Etobicoke before urbanization overtook the farm. He died in 1971. His sister-in-law, Ethel Carr of Mississauga, presented this year's scholarships.0
