      Dr. John C. Baker Ends 25 Years with Company
      Dr. Baker received his doctor's degree from Columbia university after graduating from Upper Iowa university, from which institution he later received an honorary degree of doctor of science and of which school he is now a trustee. He was associated for some time with the New York Agricultural Experiment station. Since 1919 he has been director of research of Wallace & Tiernan and associated companies. In 1940, in recognition of his work in the field of cereal chemistry and his development of processes for the aging and maturing of flour, Dr. Baker was presented the "modern pioneer" award by the National Association of Manufacturers on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the American patent system. Beside his work in cereal chemistry, Dr. Baker has shared in the development of chlorine control apparatus for the sterilization of drinking water and similar public health uses and directed the work that culminated in the discovery of Azochloramid, an antiseptic extensively used in modern medicine and control of wound infections. He has more than 25 important patents to his credit.
