| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 334: They honored Earnest Dowdell with a fish fry when he retired in 1994, and no wonder. He had worked forty-seven years in the Department of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures. "When I started working, we used mules and flip scrapes to build ponds, and the professors worked only on bream and bass, the most common fish in Alabama," Dowdell told the AU Report. "Now there's all kinds of science involved, and the professors work with fish from all over the world: catfish, tilapia, carps, even crawfish." Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
