Historical Note
In 1954 Arden Jacklin, George Royes and Dwight Hopkins incorporated the Merion Blue Grass Association in Oregon. The purpose of the Association was to promote, advertise and educate the public in the "use and desirable features of" Merion Blue Grass, thereby increasing its consumption. The Association was a non-profit organization. It met annually in Oregon or Washington to discuss and further its business, and conducted public relations through an office in New York. The Merion Bluegrass Association was dissolved in 1989. The balance of the Association's funds were donated to the Ralph Engel Turfgrass Scholarship Fund at Rutgers University.
