Dr. J. A. Nelson Retires at Montana State

J. A. NELSON retired from active duty July 1, 1961, and was granted the title of Professor Emeritus after 39 years of service at Montana State College.

Dr. Nelson came to Montana State College in 1922 as instructor in dairy manufacturing. In 1929, he was given the rank of professor and head of the newly created Department of Dairy Industry. The Department was enlarged in 1938 to include dairy production and the research work was greatly expanded. In 1948, he was appointed the first graduate dean of the newly created Graduate Division. He held both executive positions until 1955 when, on his request and due to age limit, he was relieved from the Graduate Division, but continued as department head. In 1956, on his request, he was relieved as department head and has continued since that time as Professor of Teaching and Research.
