Memorials

Lore A. Rogers, pioneer dairy scientist, microbiologist, research leader, museum director, and centenarian died on March 21, 1975, some 6 weeks after his 100th birtday.

Born February 7, 1875, Rogers grew up in the Penobscot Country of Maine and attended the Universities of Maine and Wisconsin. His 40-year association with the U. S. Department of Agriculture contributed significantly to the progression of the dairy industry from an uncertain art to a firmly established science. This research leadership developed many scientists whose impact is still significant.

Rogers served on the board of Directors of ADSA from 1933 to 1936, and was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Dairy Science from its beginning in 1929 until 1944, 2 years after his retirement. He was the first recipient (1937) of the Borden Award given by the ADSA.

In addition to many studies on microbial taxonomy and physiology, microbiologists are indebted to him for his unstinted efforts in maintaining and expanding the American Type Culture Collection.
