Title	1930s: Homer Swingle and E. V. Smith
Description	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 177: Homer Swingle, at right, and E. V. Smith, were in at the beginning of Auburn's globally respected Fisheries and Allied Aquaculture program--partly because they wanted a good fishing home. Swingle who had researched pecan insects, Smith, a plant physiologist (later dean of agriculture), and G. D. Scarseth, a soil chemist, seemed an unlikely trio to delve into the mysteries of successful fish management. But they set out in 1934 to tackle research that would help Depression era families put food on the table and enjoy "healthful exercise in the open air."... By 2006, facilities near main campus included 344 ponds, ranging from 0.1 acre to twenty acres, with research projects on about twenty-five species of fish and shellfish, such as worldwide tilapia and Alabama catfish.
