Minutes of the University Faculty. January 1/, 1952

 

Be it therefore RESOLVED that this memorial be spread upon the
Minutes Book of the University of Kentucky Faculty and a copy be
sent to his beloved wife.

Edward James Wilford died January 4. 1952. In his passing the
University of Kentucky lost an able and well-loved teacher who had
served in devoted faithfulness through many years. Mr. Wilford
entered the service of the University as instructor in animal hus-
bandry on June 18, 1913. He was immediately put in charge of build~
ing a meats laboratory and starting a meats course. the first such
course to be taught at the University of Kentucky and one of the
first in the nation. A year later he was given charge also of the
teaching and research work with swine, in which work he gave con»
siderable attention to the problems of use of pasture by swine.
Since 1940 he has served as Professor of Animal Husbandry, and in
charge of Meats Laboratory and Assistant in'Animal Husbandry in the
Experiment Station.

Professor Wilford was an inspiring teacher in combining the
scientific and practical aspects of meats instruction, building in
his students a lasting respect for his honesty and integrity, his
insistence on doing a thorough job in whatever was attempted. His
basic course in meats was always in great demand by students. He
was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, and for a time served
as faculty advisor of the fraternity.

His judgment was sought in national circles on problems cone
nected with meats work, and he was active in the Meats Section of
the American Society of Animal Production. During the past few
years the meats division of the College of Agriculture and Home Eco»
nomics, under his leadership. designed and equipped a new meats labora«
tory which in facilities for both teaching and research ranks among
the best on the college campuses of the country.

Professor Wilford wrote or collaborated on twentyaone papers,
bulletins. and circulars during his thirtyathree years at the Uni~
versity of Kentucky, including two Agricultural Experiment Station
bulletins in process of publication at the time of his death. These
bulletins report the results of a sevenayear study of distillers'
dried solubles as a protein supplement for growing and fattening hogs
in drylot, and an exhaustive study of comparative carcass characteristics
of Kentucky spring lambs and western fed lambs. The latter especially
will undoubtedly prove to be the definitive work in its field.

To the lasting honor of Professor Wilford it may be said that
those who had known him long, who had worked with him over the years,
were greatly devoted to him. His were the qualities of faithfulness.
integrity, and friendliness which wear well. He lived by the Golden
Rule and through his devoted service to his church encouraged others
to do likewise.

Friends and associates of Professor Wilford at the University
of Kentucky sorrow deeply at his passing. and extend their sympathy
to his family.
