Dr. D. L. Espe Retires

Dr. Dwight L. Espe, Senior Scientist on the Cooperative State Research Service, Animal Science Research Program staff, retired September 30. On that day his colleagues presented him with a parchment scroll on which various steps in his professional career were shown in color and appropriate recognition of his contributions to agricultural science were summarized.

Born and reared on a dairy farm near Storm Lake, Iowa, Dr. Espe spent five years farming after graduating from Iowa State College. Then he became foreman of the College Dairy Farm at Ames. In 1927 he began graduate work in nutrition and physiology at Cornell University. After obtaining his doctorate, he spent 17 years on the Dairy Husbandry staff at Iowa State College, later 2 years at North Dakota Agricultural College. His primary interest and research was concerned with the physiology of milk secretion and ruminant digestion. In 1949 he joined the staff of scientists in the Office of Experiment Stations, predecessor of the Cooperative State Research Service.
