Dean Harold Macy Retires At Minnesota

DEAN HAROLD MACY, a distinguished microbiologist at the University of Minnesota, retired July 1. He has been a member of the Minnesota staff since 1919, advancing through all academic ranks to full professor, to associate director and then director of the Agri-director of the Agricultural Experiment Station, and finally to Dean of the Institute of Agriculture in 1953.

A native of Hudson, New York, he was awarded the B.S. degree by Cornell University in 1917 and the Ph.D. degree by Iowa State College in 1929. Before coming to Minnesota, he served as bacteriologist for Geneva, New York, and bacteriologist and chief sanitary inspector for the Bed Cross. Dean Macy is best known for his investigations in dairy bacteriology. His research on the microorganisms which cause discoloration and off-flavors in butter was fundamental to the solution of mold-infected butter, a defect which caused great losses to the butter factories in Minnesota and the nation.
