For a portion of that time he had also been vice-director of the agricultural experiment station and vice-dean of the College of Agriculture.
He came to WSU from the U.S. Department of Agriculture where he had worked for six years in charge of a western regional dairy office in Salt Lake City and as federal Extension dairy specialist.
