K. E. GARDNER, Professor of Dairy Science at the University of Illinois, will become Associate Dean of the College of Agriculture at that school on August 1, 1959.

Dr. Gardner has been a member of the College of Agriculture staff at the University of Illinois since 1940, when he was named an extension specialist of dairy husbandry. His first work was to train and supervise DHIA testers and to help conduct feeding schools.

He was raised on a dairy farm near Indianapolis, Ind., and was a member of one of the early 4-H clubs in that part of the state. He has shown dairy cattle and swine at many local and state fairs. He attended Purdue University from 1932–1936, majoring in the field of dairy husbandry. He worked as a graduate assistant in teaching and research at Cornell University from 1936–1940 and received both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees there.

From 1943 to 1946, he served as captain in the Sanitary Corps of the Medical Department in the United States Army. He saw two years of service in Europe with the 3rd U. S. Army. He was responsible there for the ration and nutrition of prisoners of war and displaced persons, as well as for hospital patients from the 3rd Army.
