People and Events in the Dairy Science World

Pioneers in the Dairy Industry

We owe much to the men who first made extensive application of scientific principles to dairy plant operations. At the turn of the century, milk pasteurization was just coming into its own. The idea of centrifugal separation of cream was still new, and the Babcock test had just been perfected. Many problems needed to be solved. Among the scientists who accepted the challenge offered by the dairy industry at that time was Loomis Burrell, a graduate of Yale (Ph.B., 1894) with a major in chemistry and physics. He taught analytical chemistry at Yale for one year before joining the D. H. Burrell Co.

Loomis Burrell was born in Little Falls, Herkimer County, New York, July 31, 1872. His father was the founder of the D. H. Burrell Co. Young Burrell early in life developed an interest in science and even though a successful business man for many years he has always used a scientific approach to all problems.
