Delivered over 500 illustrated talks or lectures to domestic and international audiences totaling over 35,000 on farming, farm life and farm economics in the United States, Europe and the Far East.
The following summary was prepared by Diane Broersma Wright at the request of the Directors of the Michigan State University Club
"Dr. Wright came to Michigan State in 1929 after receiving BS and MS degrees at the University of Illinois. In 1940 he received a PhD degree at Cornell University. He served in the College of Agriculture at Michigan State from 1929 until he retired in 1972 and continued after retirement as Professor Emeritus. In 1953 he was named Distinguished Teacher in the College of Agriculture.
Dr. Wright's published work included in excess of 500 titles on farm practices, agricultural development and domestic and international agriculture. He served as editor-in-chief of The First 50 Years: A History of the University Club of Michigan State University.
In 1929 Dr. Wright became a charter member of the Faculty Club, precursor of the University Club, and remained an active member for 65 years until his death in 1994. He served on numerous committees, in various offices and as president in 1981-1982.
Dr. Wright was active in FarmHouse Fraternity and served as national president from 1952 through 1954. In 1956 he was the recipient of the highest honor the fraternity bestows, "The Master Builder of Men".
Dr. Wright's services were frequently sought as advisor and consultant to members of international governments and agencies. He served members of the US Congress and regional boards in a similar capacity. He was widely sought as lecturer."
Dr. Wright prepared this statement of his personal philosophy circa. 1976
"I am extremely interested in helping developing nations. One might say I have a missionary zeal in helping others and the sensitivity that goes with establishing a rapport with foreign nationals. My experiences in Great Britain in 1951-1952, Okinawa in 1958-1960, Taiwan in 1957 and 1964, Japan in 1959 and 1972, Korea in 1971-1972 and 1974 and as part time associate to the director of the Michigan State University Institute of International Agriculture in 1975 were challenging, interesting, and greatly satisfying in that I felt my professional qualifications and personal enthusiasm in helping educators and government officials with their many diverse problems were appreciated, helpful, and useful."
Dr. Wright regarded these activities as his most satisfying accomplishments: * Agricultural Economic Consultant to the University of Nottingham, England * Institution Building as Administrator at the University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa * Agricultural Economics Consultant to National Taiwan University and Chung
Hsing University *Agricultural Policy Consultant to the Joint Committee on Rural Reconstruction,
Taiwan *Agricultural Economics Analyst, Korean Agricultural Sector Study * Agricultural Economics Consultant to Asian Productivity Organization, Tokyo,
Japan * Agricultural Education Consultant to Agency for International Development,
Taiwan
Teaching at Michigan State and the "Distinguished Teacher Award"
FarmHouse Fraternity colleagues wrote the following tributes:
Dr. C. R. Hoglund "The mere listing of offices and positions held by Brother Karl does injustice to the many contributions he has made to FarmHouse Fraternity. Brother Karl has taken a very personal interest in the welfare of the brothers as well as in the house itself. He has had a big impact on the financial well-being of the Michigan Chapter of FarmHouse. He has contributed substantially to the development of policies relating to financial strategy during critical periods of the fraternity. The unselfish devotion of both Dr. Wright and Mrs. Karl Wright has had a tremendous impact on FarmHouse."
Dr. Warren Vincent "Dr. Wright's affinity for people of all ages, of all walks of life and from many cultures extends far beyond the boundaries of the fraternity family. He has epitomized the meaning of Brotherhood. As he is being recognized now by his fraternity brothers for making things better for all of us, we should appreciate that he is the Model Brother because he has been the Model Man."
