A C Professor 35 Years
Dashwood Native Retires
By Joesy Slinger
Leonard A. Birk, professor of
chemistry at the OAC for near-
ly 35 years, retired last fall,
Professor Birk was born and
raised in Dashwood, Ont„ a vil-
lage in Huron County between
Exeter and Grand Bend.
His parents were farm peo-
ple and Prof Birk inherited
from them a life-long interest
in agriculture and the sciences
relating to it. He attended a
three-room school in Dashwood
and Exeter District High
School, He cane to the OAC
and graduated from there in
the class of '30. He went on to
get his Master of Sciences de-
gree from the University of
Michigan.
Thirty-three men graduated
in Prof. Birk's class and the 25
who are left will return to the
University of Guelph this year
for their 35th reunion.
Professor Birk and his wife,
the former Nellie Barclay, of
Guelph, live at lfi Forbes Ave.
They have two children, a son
and a daughter. The son, Ar-
thur, is now a dentist, practis-
ing in the town of Lardner,
British Columbia. Sheila, the
daughter, married Dr. Ivan
Reid, a graduate of the OVC,
who is now in charge of the
federal health of animals di-
vision in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
The Birks have five grand-
children.
Professor and Mrs. Birk spent
about two months last summer
visiting their family in the
west.
When he was at the college,
the professor's main interest
was in teaching chemistry and
for many years he taught the
courses in organic chemistry to
the students at OAC, OVC. and
Macdonald Institute.
Professor Birk did some re-
search, too, in line with a
course he was giving on insec-
ticides, fungicides and pesti-
cides. The research chiefly in-
volved a study of pesticidal re-
sidues remaining on vegetation
and in soils following spraying
with various pesticides.
An example of the work was
a study he did on the milk of
cows that had been • sprayed
with DDT. It was felt that
there was a danger of this and
of other pesticides persisting
in the soil or on the animals
and :affecting sensitive crops
such as milk.
This topic raised a furor a
couple of years ago when
Rachel Carson's book, "The
Silent Spring" 'was published.
The book forecast doom and
death to mankind if they con-
tinued using deadly chemicals
to combat weeds and insects.
Professor Birk spoke briefly
on the changes in student types
in the past 35 years. He said
that he could see very little dif-
ference apart from the fact
that a student entering univers-

ity today has a better educa-
tional background and the uni-
versities tend to expect more
of him.
He said that by far the best
students he ever taught were
those who atended the colleges
following World War II. He said
the faculty was a little leery
of having to cope with young
men who had just returned
from fighting a war. They
were pleasantly surprised to
find -these young people eager
to learn. They seemed to have
known what they were looking
for and wanted to work and
get it.
Professor Birk and his wife
are members of Chalmers Unit-
ed Church. He is an elder of
the church and involved with
its affairs. For relaxation the
professor tends his garden and
reads, He didn't have time,
when he was working to read
as much as he would like and
he is catching up now.
His reading follows his inter-
est in agriculture. Speaking as
a person involved in this field
for .a number of years, Profes-
sor Birk said, from an economic
point of view, the present sit-
uation in agriculture is not
good for the ordinary farmer.
As time goes on and the pop-
ulation increases, this situation
is bound to change, but right
now, the small farmer isn't get-
ting a fair shake when com-
pared with other industries.
The professor is a member of
the Agricultural Institute of
Canada and a Fellow of the
Chemical Institute of Canada.
When he began teaching chem-
istry the field was just opening
up. In the past two years pro-
grammed learning has been in-
troduced. The department of
chemistry at the university will
soon be moving into its new
quarters in a new building on
the corner of College Lane and
the highway.
Along with his reading, Pro-
fessor Birk intends to spend
some time at his summer place
at Sauble Beach and to do a
bit of travelling.
