E. Stanley Shepardson obtained his B.S. degree from Cornell University in 1936. That
same year he joined the extension staff of the Department of Agricultural Engineering
at Cornell as an extension instructor in agricultural engineering with responsibilities
for 4-H programs in farm electrification. He assisted the WWII Food Production Agency
by developing and presenting programs and demonstrations throughout New York State
on the repair and maintenance of electric motors and equipment, which were scarce
resources due to the war effort. Later, he developed custom spray equipment for potatoes,
fruits and vegetables, and trained operators in their use. He subsequently received
his M.S. degree from Cornell University in 1947 and that same year was appointed Assistant
Professor in the Department of Agricultural Engineering. In 1950, he was promoted
to Associate Professor and to Professor in 1958. Stanley also worked abroad with USAID
in Israel, IRRI in the Philippines on their agricultural engineering development program,
and in Australia with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industry Research Organization's
fruit and vegetable harvesting programs. In 1958-59, he was named Acting Head of the
department while O. C French was on leave in the Philippines, was Coordinator of Research
from 1960-72, and Department Head from 1972 to his retirement in 1978, when he was
appointed Professor Emeritus.
