Retirement

Kenneth L. Trunk retired June 30 as professor of animal science emeritus after 38 years as student, teacher, researcher, and administrator at Cornell University.

A Missouri native and graduate of the University of Missouri, Turk was an assistant in animal husbandry in the N.Y. State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cornell, while working for his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. He was appointed an instructor in 1934, assistant professor in 1935, and professor of dairy husbandry at the University of Maryland in 1938. After two years, he was appointed head of the department.

In 1944, Turk was invited to return to Cornell and from 1945 to 1963 was head of the Department of Animal Science. In 1963 he became director of the newly-formed office for International Agricultural Development.

Perhaps the best known program completed during Turk's administration has been the nine-year graduate education and research program shared by the College and the College of Agriculture of the University of the Philippines, with major support from the Ford Foundation.
