People and Events in the Dairy Science World

Pioneers in the Dairy Industry

CHARLES WILLIAM HOLDAWAY has given a long period of useful and outstanding service to the dairy industry. He came to Virginia Polytechnic Institute on Jan. 1, 1905. A native of New Zealand, he received his education and training in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United States.

His first assignment at V.P.I. was as manager of the college creamery. The following year he was appointed instructor in dairying and at the same time began taking course work to complete his degree requirements. He received his B.S. from V.P.I. in 1913 and his M.S. in 1915. He was advanced successively to associate professor and professor, and in 1923 was designated head of the newly created Dairy Husbandry Department, which embraced all phases of the work, in both production and manufacturing. He retired as head in 1952 but has continued his interest in the work.

As a student advisor, Professor Holdaway has been unusually active.
