His Master of Science de- gree, also in dairy in- dustry, was from Texas Tech University in 1940. He received his Ph.D. degree in dairy microbiology from Iowa State University in 1954.

From 1936 until 1954 the recipient was associated with the Department of Dairy Industry at Texas Tech. From 1954 to 1960 he was a member of the Dairy Department at Michigan State University, and from 1960 to 1970 he was Professor of Food Science at Michigan State. In 1970 he became Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition, and in 1971 he was named Associate Chairman of the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition. His professional career has been devoted principally to food processing and food microbiology. He is a good teacher, one who is systematic and conscientious and always attentive to the perception of the subject mat ter by his students. His research has contin- ued throughout his academic career, and his list of research publications is impressive. In 1966 he received the Pfizer Award at the Annual

Meeting of the American Dairy Science Assoc- iation.

The Award of Honor is presented in recogni- t ion of unusually outstanding contributions to the welfare of the American Dairy Science Association and distinguished service to the Association. The 1979 recipient has served the Association well. He has accepted numerous committee assignments, was a member of the Board of Directors from 1968 to 1971, was Vice President in 1974 to 1975, and was President in 1975 to 1976. Following these duties he willingly accepted the responsibility of Treasurer of the Association. In 1978, he was Chairman of the General Arrangements Com- mittee, which organized at Michigan State University the combined meeting of the Amer- ican Dairy Science Association and the Amer- ican Society of Animal Science. His d e v o t i o n to and participation in Association affairs have been, and continue to be, truly outstand- ing.

D IST INGUISHED SERVICE A W A R D

The Distinguished Service Award of the American Dairy Science Association recognizes outstanding and consistent contributions to the welfare of the dairy industry. The awardee selected this year cer- tainly exemplifies these objectives.

The 1979 recipient of this award was born December 27, 1913, in Springville, Utah. His work for the Bachelor of Science degree was taken at Brigham Young University and Utah State University. His major was agronomy. Later he received the Master of Science degree from Iowa State University with a major in crop production. In further graduate work at the University of Nebraska, he majored in agronomy. Thus, his academic training was not principally in the area of dairying, yet he has spent much of his life working for the bet terment of the dairy industry.

In his early life, the recipient had a wealth of experiences in various areas. He was an agron- omist at Utah State University in 1942 to 1943 and at the University of Nebraska, 1943 to 1947. From 1947 to 1952 he was Director of the Statistical Laboratory at Utah State Univer- sity. During that period (in 1948 to 1949) he also was visiting professor and consultant in experimental design at North Carolina State University. During the period 1952 to 1955, he was Assistant Director of the Agricultural Exper- iment Station at Utah State University and from 1955 to 1957, he was Dean of Admissions and Records at Brigham Young University.

In the early 1950's our recipient, in coopera- tion with some of his colleagues, began the task of adapting computer technology to the DHIA production testing service. When it became impossible for him to carry on this work in addition to a full-time job, he resigned from his academic position and established a computing center for dairy records in Provo, Utah. Since that time he has contributed unselfishly in both time and resources to the bet terment of the dairy industry. He has participated in commit- tee work of the Coordinating Group of National

Dairy Herd Improvement, and he maintains extensive data files of producers ' records that are made available to researchers. On occasion he has even used his own resources to edit the files for specific uses of the data. Our recipient has provided information on progeny groups to bull studs to help them better evaluate sires offered for extensive AI use. His con- tributions to sire evaluation are very great indeed.

Our Distinguished Service Award recipient has pioneered in developing routine record processing and evaluation for dairymen, and he offers extensive DHI help for them. He has pioneered the development of the records program by working with the on-the-farm terminals connected to his computer. His computer center now processes records for nearly 700,000 cows and about 6,000 herds in 15 states and 3 foreign nations. The impact of his ingenuity and his dedication and unselfish service is felt in one way or another by nearly all dairymen. Our recipient is a kind, dedicated, and pioneering man who truly has made a most outstanding contribution to the welfare of the dairy industry. It is my pleasure, Mr. President, to present the 1979 recipient of the Distin- guished Service Award of the American Dairy Science Association, Mr. Bliss H. CrandalI.

A M E R I C A N FEED M A N U F A C T U R E R S A W A R D

The 1 9 7 9 recipient of the American Feed Manufacturers Award is a scientist, farmer, hus- band, and father. He was born in Warrensburg,

Missouri, in 1940. He had the opportuni ty while yet in high school to own a full line of farm equipment and farm several hundred acres. He owned and managed cattle, hogs, sheep, and milked a few cows. His interests in farming have continued to this day, as he and

his brother maintain a cow/calf operation and a swine finishing facility in Missouri.

With an assist from his basketball talent, the recipient "p layed" his way through McPherson College and Central Missouri State College with a degree in agriculture and business. He went on to the University of Missouri where he obtained his Ph.D. in nutri t ion in 1964.

Following completion of the Ph.D., the recipient was awarded an NIH postdoctoral fellowship for work at Harvard University. He subsequently became a faculty member in the Department of Nutrit ion in the Harvard School of Public Health. After a six year residence at Harvard, he moved to SmithKline Corporation as Senior Investigator in the Animal Health Products Division. He later advanced to Man- ager of Neurobiological Research with Smith- Kline Corporation.

In 1975, the recipient was appointed Assoc- iate Professor of Nutrit ion in the Departments of Clinical Studies and Animal Biology in the School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. He currently is active in teaching and is the faculty member in charge of the core nutri t ion course for veterinary students, a course on digestion and metabolism, and a swine production and preventive medicine course. In connection with the latter course, he has been heavily involved in the development of a large swine facility for the training of veterin- ary students.

The recipient has been extremely productive throughout his career. He is the author or

coauthor of 84 journal or symposium papers, 71 published abstracts, and the principal in 13 issued patents. He has given invited lec- tures, seminars, and symposia presenta- tions at numerous locations around the world.

The recipient 's original work in feeding behavior in ruminants is unique to these species. He adapted techniques which other researchers had developed in the rat, and he created new ones. Of particular significance was the adapta- tion of the surgical techniques for placing cannulas in the lateral and medial areas of the hypothalamus of sheep. He has been innovative in developing new systems for monitoring and recording physiological changes associated with feeding behavior. He has worked not only on the basic areas within the central nervous system which might influence feeding behavior, but he has also carried these research findings into practical situations. He is a man with a very high level of motivation, diligence, and persistence.

His wife, Beth, is an interior designer and an excellent flutist. They have two children, Christopher (8) and Marisa (3), and together live at New Bolton Center outside of Philadel- phia.

BORDEN A W A R D

The Borden Award winner for 1979 has an outstanding record of research as evidenced by over 150 publications and a successful, widely

used textbook. He has demonstrated original- ity, innovation, re- sourcefulness, creativ- ity, and leadership in research which encom- passes the physiological, endocrinological, and biochemical aspects of lactation. The recipient and his research (which has both medical and

economic benefits) are recognized nationally and internationally and the quality of his research is attested to by the constant support provided by the National Institute of Health.

His initial work on quantification of mam- mary nucleic acids facilitated his subsequent, original studies of the endocrine control of mammary growth, differentiation, lactogenesis, and involution. He pioneered the use of radio- immunoassay techniques for monitoring prolac- tin and growth hormone in cattle and, in particular, correlated hormonal changes with lactation.

The observation that photoperiod affects serum prolactin concentrations, body growth, and milk production was demonstrated by the recipient, exemplifying his ability to relate basic findings to practical use. More recently he has been a leader in elucidating the role of cortisol in mammary functions with particular reference to maintenance of lactation.

The awardee is internationally recognized for his research concerning the endocrinology of lactation. This recognition is merited by the quality of his work, good experimental design, and sound interpretation of data. The success of his graduate students attests to the high standards of excellence required during their association with the awardee.

A native of Massachusetts, he obtained a B.S. at University of Massachusetts in animal husbandry, an M.S. in dairy science at Rutgers University, and a Ph.D. at Rutgers in dairy science and physiology. He is currently Profes-

F O U N D A T I O N TEACHING A W A R D IN D A I R Y M A N U F A C T U R I N G

The successful teacher in today 's university classroom is a person having many talents. An extensive command of the subject mat ter is coupled with the ability to infect the students with enthusiasm for the subject. Skill in the use of tradit ional teach- ing mechanisms such as the formal lecture or laboratory is augment- ed by an interest in new mechanisms for helping the student learn. Var- ious "outstanding tea- chers" over the years have excelled in various ways, hut the one thing common to them all is their accessibility to the students. Classes are described as open and relaxed, and the teacher always as ready to help each student, individ- ually or collectively, academically or person- ally.

The winner of the teaching award this year joins a long line of honored teachers, and, as

his predecessors, fulfills all of the criteria of a good teacher. He grew up in a Midwestern uni- versity town and must have absorbed much from his teacher father. He graduated from his hometown university in dairy manufacturing in 1946. Like so many other outstanding people in the dairy industry, he earned his M.S. and Ph.D. at University of Wisconsin. He joined the faculty of still another outstanding university in 1949 and remains there today. Our outstanding teacher has authored or coauthored over 160 publications, including chapters in books used as texts in dairy manufacturing courses. He has prepared a variety of teaching materials for his students including mimeographs, slide sets, and video tapes. He now teaches three undergrad- uate and three graduate courses.

The professor also is active in less formal as- pects of teaching. He serves as the official ad- visor to both undergraduate and graduate stu- dents. He is a member of his department 's teaching and curriculum committee and has been a member of a similar college wide com- mittee. He has contr ibuted to the development of a system for formal evaluation of courses and instructors, of aids to instructors for effect- ive use of new teaching mechanisms, and of systems for student evaluation of courses and instructors.

Perhaps his most unique characteristic as a teacher is his abili ty to encourage and develop independent thinking along with correlation of knowledge gained in other courses to solve

problems. His students are presented with rele- vant practical problems which call upon them to utilize their prior training, the current liter- ature, and logical thought to suggest solutions. Former students are appreciative of having learned this approach to solving the series of problems called life.

It is with great pleasure that I read the cita- t ion honoring an active member of the ADSA, a man selected by his faculty peers for a Teaching Award of Merit in 1976, a 1978 winner of the Ohio State University Alumni Award for Dis- tinguished Teaching, and the 1979 winner of the Milk Industry Foundat ion Teaching Award in Dairy Manufacturing, W.

N A T I O N A L MILK PRODUCERS FEDERATION R I C H A R D M. H O Y T M E M O R I A L A W A R D

The Richard M. Hoyt Memorial Award is presented each year by the National Milk Pro- ducers Federation to a graduate student whose

research efforts have direct application to the solution of signi- ficant problems facing the dairy industry.

The award winner for 1979 was born October 7, 1947, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she received her early education. She entered the University

of Wisconsin in 1965 and received a B.S. in biochemistry in 1969. Immediately thereafter, she became a graduate student in the Depart- ment of Food Science at the University of Nebraska and earned the M.Sc. degree in 1971. Her master 's thesis involved the physiological and biochemical similarities between bovine and human milk lysozymes.

After receiving her master 's degree, the recipient worked as a research associate in the Biochemistry Department at the University of Nebraska Medical School in Omaha for two years. After that, she moved with her husband, who is in the US Air Force, to Texas and then to Illinois. In June 1978, after her husband was sent to Korea, she returned to the University of

Nebraska to cont inue work toward the Ph.D. degree.

She has been involved in a number of research areas, but she has excelled especially in the area of enzyme biochemistry, particularly in the understanding of lactase immobilization and its significance to the dairy industry. One of the problems associated with using an immobilized system commercial ly is the high cost of the solid support which is discarded after the enzyme activity is lost. Her Ph.D. work has involved development of a regenerable enzyme system which could be used for con- t inuous hydrolysis of lactose in milk or whey. Several lactases have been immobilized on a derivative of crosslinked Sepharose, which was regenerated rather than discarded when the enzyme activity was lost. Recycling of the expensive solid support in this manner de- creases the cost of hydrolyzing lactose tremen- dously.

Her work has shown that the lactose in whey can be hydrolyzed using a continuous reverse flow column packed with an immobilized fungal lactase. Since the system is operable at 55 C and a wide range of pH's, microbial growth is essentially eliminated. She is current- ly searching for opt imum conditions for the continuous hydrolysis process and also investi- gating the use of other matrices which could attach more enzyme and, therefore, increase the efficiency and decrease the time required for hydrolysis. This system should further improve

Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 62, No. 9, 1979

ASSOCIATION AFFAIRS 1487

the economy of hydrolyzing lactose in both milk and whey.

Economical enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose in dairy products can be a significant develop- ment for the dairy industry for several reasons: 1) production of low lactose dairy products suitable for consumption by lactose intolerant individuals is made possible, 2) approximately one-half billion pounds of lactose per year which are currently being wasted can be made usable, and 3) cost savings for waste treatment of cheese whey can be realized.

The recipient has authored or coauthored eleven manuscripts published in the Journal of Dairy Science, Journal of Food Science, Ar- chives of Biochemistry of Biophysics, and others. Her major professor at the University of Nebraska is Dr. Khem M. Shahani.

She demonstrated that she not only knows how to get research results in a laboratory but also how these results can be put to practical use in solving dairy industry problems. On behalf of the selection committee, I am pleased to present Beverly A. Friend of the University of Nebraska as the recipient of the 1979 Richard M. Hoyt Memorial Award.

The recipient of the I979 Pfizer, Inc. Award is a native of Minco, Oklahoma. He received his B.S. degree in •962 and M. S. degree in 1963

from Oklahoma State University in dairy manufacturing and his Ph.D. in 1966 from North Carolina State University where he majored in food sci- ence.

He began his profes- sional career at North Carolina State Univer- sity in 1965 as an

instructor engaged in research and teaching in food science and advanced to the rank of associate professor by 1972. He remained at North Carolina State until 1976 when he returned to his native state of Oklahoma as associate professor at Oklahoma State Univer-

sity, and at present, he is teaching and conduct- ing research in the dairy products area of the Animal Science Department. The recipient has an impressive record in research. His work is innovative in that it includes new meth- ods and procedures when needed. He is also resourceful and makes good use of new methods and procedures that have been developed. His research has been sound in planning and in experimental methods. His colleagues have stated that "early in his re- search career he would not accept methods or procedures for use in his work unless they could produce results that would stand the test of time."

The recipient has good judgment and the foresight to choose research projects that add to the knowledge of food microbiology. His research on concentrated lactic cultures is highly significant because of the extensive use of concentrated cultures in food plants. His discovery of methods for improving the yield of cells and of methods for decreasing the damage by freezing and storage are highly important to the cultured products industry. Research conducted by the recipient and his associates on the inhibition of psychrotropic bacteria by lactobacilli and pediococci adds to the basic knowledge and practical applications in the field of food science. Likewise, the inhibition of food-borne and intestinal pathogens by Lactobac i l lus ac idopbi tus is of practical signi- ficance. He and his associates have developed several new methods for growing, enumerating,

and identifying lactobacilli. Addit ionally they have studied the use of L. acidopbi lus as a dietary adjunct and its function in the intestinal tract. He had a key role in de- veloping procedures for the successful com- mercial production of "Sweet Acidophilus" milk.

In addition to his unusual ability as a re- searcher, the recipient is an excellent teacher as evidenced by the fact that he won an Outstand- ing Teacher Award in the College of Agriculture after only three semesters of teaching at Okla- homa State University.

On behalf of the selection committee, it is my pleasure to present the 1979 winner of the Pfizer Award, Dr. Stanley Eugene Gilliland.

RALSTON PURINA TEACHING A W A R D

Although the candidates for the Ralston Purina Teaching Award were from all sections of the country, this year 's recipient is from

the Midwest. He did his undergraduate and graduate work in the state of Wisconsin. His principal interests at all levels of scholastic en- deavor have been in the areas of dairy produc- tion and biochemistry.

The recipient has made significant con- tributions, not only in

his major field of interest, but in many others as well. He is equally at home in the areas of management, production, a~ld nutrition. With appointments in both research and teaching, he has displayed what might be considered full contributions in both areas. Although his teaching responsibilities appear rather heavy, his research accomplishments are also impres- sive. The recipient has demonstrated that he can excell in teaching, research, extension, administration, and community leadership. Few persons have combined so many different objectives and managed to perform well in all of them.

In the special area of teaching, the recipient has advised many undergraduate as well as

graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. He serves on many committees which involve curriculum, student needs, and student activi- ties. Currently he teaches dairy cattle nutrition, feed ingredient and ration formulation, a proseminar, and a dairy herd management short course. He has managed to coordinate all of his activities and responsibilities and, at the same time, perform in a manner that is efficient, authoritative, and pleasant. He was the recip- ient of the Teaching Award of Merit pres- ented by Gamma Sigma Delta, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences in 1972, the Short Course Teaching Award in 1978, and the recipient of the 1978 American Feed Manufac- turers Award for outstanding nutri t ion research.

The 1979 recipient of the Ralston Purina Teaching Award is a hard working, dedicated person who has earned the respect and appre- ciation of his students and associates. It is with pleasure that the selection committee presents the winner of the 1979 Ralston Purina Teach- ing Award, Dr. Neal A. Jorgensen.

M.S. degree in dairy science, and a Ph.D. in dairy science and phys- iology from Michigan State University. Dur- ing his graduate studies, he authored 22 research publications with his major professors and fellow graduate stu- dents.

Following graduate school, the recipient accepted a position on the mastiffs team in the Dairy Cattle Research Branch of the Animal Science Division, Agricul- tural Research Service, USDA, at Beltsville, Maryland. There he developed an imaginative mastitis research program that has added to our understanding of the mammary gland natural defense against infection. He developed meth- ods for isolating neutrophil leukocytes from the mammary gland and methods for testing their ability to phagocytize and to kill Staphylo-

coccus aureus. Using these techniques he demonstrated that milk fat globules interfered with the phagocytizing and intracellular killing of S. aureus. He also demonstrated that differ- ences existed among cows in the ability of their neutrophils to phagocytose and in the ability of their milk to support phagocytosis. He has also conducted extensive research on the role of stress and adrenocorticotropin upon body defense mechanisms. This research included studies on the effects of environmental stress and parturition on blood and milk teukocytes and adrenal corticosteroids. Research by the recipient and his colleagues has been reported in over 100 publications. He has frequently been invited to present results of his research at national and international forums. These include the National Masfftis Council, the Mastitis Research Workers Conference, the American Dairy Science Association, the First Annual Libyan Veterinarians Conference,
