People and Events in the Dairy Science World

Pioneers in the Dairy Industry

As we judge the success of the leaders and pioneers of our industry, we often fail to appreciate the factors that contributed to their success, the sacrifices they have made or the depth of their contributions to society. Certainly this is true in the case of Professor Emeritus ANDREW A. BORLAND of The Pennsylvania State University.

Professor Borland was born on a modest, but progressive, farm at Sandy Lake, Pa. He attended the public schools, but when the time came for college, he found himself without funds to further his education. In 1898 he became a public school teacher (country one-room school) at $30 a month, a position he held for 7 years. At 27 years of age and with a few dollars he had saved, he enrolled at The Pennsylvania State College, where he pursued the study of agriculture and soon became primarily interested in dairying.
