Our Story

The organization was first known in 1923 as the “Cream and Cow Club”, and it was formed to provide recreation and to sponsor educational activities. The same year, the group raised money to sponsor its first Dairy Products Judging Team. It was ten years later in 1933 that the formal charter was presented, and the members were part of the Louisiana State University Dairy Science Club. Walter D. Curtis elected as the first president. In 1956 the Club became affiliated with the American Dairy Science Association. It readily established its reputation as an outstanding club by winning third place in its first year of affiliation. Since 1947 the Dairy Science Club has chosen a Dairyman of the Year, and in 1956 it began awarding an individual Honorary Lifetime Membership in the Club. Many leaders in the state of Louisiana have been honored. Over the years, the Dairy Science Club at LSU has continued to grow and prosper while participating in both regional and national levels of American Dairy Science Association. Whether the activities are of a promotional, fund-raising, educational, or even a social nature, the Dairy Science Club at LSU has set many precedents which other clubs have followed. While dairying as a Science and an Industry will change in the next 100 years, members of this Dairy Science Club will be looking ahead for many years of accomplishments and memories.
