Funeral services will be held on Thursday for Dr. Edward Frederick. Frederick, 95, took over as the superintendent of the University of Minnesota Southern Experiment Station in 1964. In 1971, he became the provost and later chancellor at the University of Minnesota-Waseca. The Minnesota FFA Alumni and Supporters recognize individuals for a lifetime of service to FFA with the Day-Frederick Award. The award is named for two icons in agricultural education, former State FFA Advisor Paul Day and Frederick. Frederick was inducted into the Minnesota FFA Hall of Fame and the Minnesota Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame. He was also a guiding force for Farmamerica in Waseca and the Minnesota Dairy Leaders Roundtable.
