Mogens M. Plum (1902–1973)

Dr. Mogens M. Plum, retired University of Nebraska Professor of Dairy and Animal Science, died May 8, 1973, following an apparent heart attack after delivering a personal tribute to Myron Rumery, longtime coworker and personal friend, at a testimonial dinner honoring Rumery's retirement.

He held degrees from the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural College in Copenhagen (1926), Michigan State University (M.S. 1932), and Iowa State University (Ph.D. 1935).
