Professor Millier received his Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell's College of
Agriculture in October 1945. He then served as District Agricultural Engineer in the
Department of Agricultural Engineering. Recognizing the need for a graduate degree
and the challenges of ventilating dairy barns, he became a Research Assistant, working
with Professor Clesson Turner, and earned his Ph.D. degree in 1950. Their innovative
work created a ventilation system that remains a seminal development in ventilation
of structures for dairy and other animals. In 1998 his work was honored by a plaque
presented by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. The plaque was installed
at the entrance of Riley-Robb Hall on the Cornell campus. During his career at the
Department of Agricultural Engineering, he was appointed as Associate professor with
tenure in July 1956, and Professor in July 1964. He was awarded the status of Professor
Emeritus on October 1, 1986.
The collection contains biographical materials, sabbatical materials, various papers,
memos, photographs, project notes, and course materials including notes and lectures.
There is also a plaque from the Alumni Association of the New York State College of
Agriculture and Life Sciences.
