W. V. Price Retires at Wisconsin

Walter Van Price left Cornell to join the staff of the Dairy Industry Department of the University of Wisconsin. Upon arriving in Wisconsin he was urged by both Dean H. L. Russell and Professor H. C. Jackson to choose any subjects in the dairy field for research that he desired. They then proceeded to raise so many questions about cheese that they left little or no time for anything else. Thus, one of the world's outstanding cheese authorities was launched upon a research and teaching career that still requires much of his time in the "retirement years."

Walter V. Price is a product of New York State. He was born in Schenectady in 1896. All of his schooling was in New York, including university training at Cornell. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree at Cornell in 1925. During the First World War he served in the Navy, and was then hired in 1919 as an assistant to work at Cornell with Professor W. W. Fisk, who at that time was well known as an author of textbooks on cheese making and ice cream making.
