Since 1916, when Edward M. Freeman, dean of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Home Economics at the University of Minnesota was given a little red oil can as a joke, he has presented it at the Christmas assembly to the Agriculture student or faculty member who has contributed the most to the Agriculture campus during the preceding year.

The first part of the program presents the concert band in popular selections, the modern, discordant rhapsody, "Jericho" by Morton Gould, "Manhattan Serenade," Ex-Lt. Allen Crafton in his 1918 uniform singing "Wake Up, America." and David T. Lawson, baritone, giving "Ol' Man River."
