Turk, professor of vet erinary medicine, likes to lean back in his office chair now and then, and gaze at a wall plaque which reads: “Ve gett too soon oldt And too late schmardt” Such sage, English - German word trifling very nearly sums up the philosophy of the long-time educator and head of the Depart ment of Veterinary Parasitology. Over the years, he has learned in his dealings with the complexities of science, research and students that there is so much to learn in so short a period of time. Yet, if there is anyone who has scratched the rock-hard surface of animal parasitology, it’s Dr. Turk. His knowledge and research in this field of veterinary science are widely known in the United States. As for his ability as a teacher, just ask any of his former stu dents. They have come away from his classes with their heads full of data on external and internal parasites, pleasant memories of his humor, and a healthy respect for his disciplines. Dr. Turk’s students know him es pecially for his Ozarkian defini tions and pop quizzes which pop too often to suit them. To learn the background of this educator’s knowledge and outlook on life, go back about 59 summers when he was born near the little town of Ash Grove in the Mis souri Ozarks. There, he and five other brothers and sisters were raised under humble circumstances. “My dad had 20 acres, six kids and not much else,” Dr. Turk re calls. “I was kept plenty busy milking cows and cutting stove wood. No time for devilment or pool sharking.” He got his first crack at real animal doctoring by hanging around a veterinarian neighbor.

Capae high school graduation, young Turk quit the family nest to see what the outer world of fered. It wasn’t too friendly. “Yes sir, I set out to set the world on fire, but I ran out of matches.” In 1933, he was graduated with high honors from Kansas State Agricultural College (now Kansas State University) with a degree in veterinary medicine. The year was 1936 and his job was as assistant veterinarian un der Dr. H. Schmidt at Texas A&M. In 1944, Dr. H. L. Van Bolkenberg died, and Dr. Turk was appointed head of the Department of Vet erinary Parafeitology. The doctor’s work has carried him into each of Texas’ 254 coun ties. “And I’ve been stuck on nearly every sand road in East Texas,” he added. During those early days with the college, he ran into many kinds of animal ailments. He encoun tered deadly anthrax along the Gulf Coast, and he helped clean up the last strongholds of the famed Texas fever tick. Dr. Turk’s current teaching ac tivities are focused on parasitology for second-year veterinary stu dents. In addition to the scien tific and technical side of his lec tures, he makes a special effort to condition students for actual practice. ~JL Wc omcin d WoM , Send Women’s News To THE BATTALION Or Call VI 6-6618 From 8-5 • Nineteen Wives Clubs were represented last night at the Aggie Wives Council Meeting.
