Glover Gallery Inducts New Honorees
The College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences celebrated the induction of new honorees into the George H. Glover Gallery on Oct. 22. The Glover Gallery was established to recognize individuals who have been instrumental in the progress of the College. Plaques and displays are designed to honor Past Distinguished College Faculty and Alumni, Honor Alumni, and Contemporary Distinguished Faculty and Alumni.
"It’s truly an honor to work with so many people at the College who exemplify our missions of education, research and service,” said Dr. Lance Perryman, Dean of the College. “The Glover Gallery gives us the opportunity to honor our own, thank them for their contributions to the College, and let others know of their many accomplishments.”
The College is honored to induct Dr. William V. Lumb into the Glover Gallery of Distinguished Faculty and named Dr. James L. Voss the Honor Alumnus for 2004. In addition, nine faculty members were named to the Contemporary Distinguished Faculty. A brief biography of each inductee follows.
Distinguished Faculty
William V. Lumb, DVM, MS, PhD
Dr. Lumb graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University in 1943. Following a three-year tour of duty in the Army Veterinary Corps, he completed a two-year internship and residency at the Angell Memorial Hospital. He moved to Texas A&M University as an Associate Professor, pursued his master’s degree in Pathology, and developed their modest small animal clinic into a well equipped and progressive hospital. He then moved to University of Minnesota to obtain a PhD in veterinary surgery, with a minor in pharmacology through the medical school. This association with a human medical program influenced his approach to training postgraduate veterinarians, and he brought this philosophy with him to Colorado when he joined CSU as an Associate Professor in 1954. He immediately became a strong force in the small animal clinic.
Dr. Lumb assumed direction of the Surgical Laboratory on the Foothills Campus in 1964 at the request of Dean Rue Jensen. He quickly saw the need for a graduate veterinary surgery and anesthesia program to train future leaders of veterinary clinical education, practice and research. He developed a PhD program with rigorous training in basic sciences that provided critical research tools and contained teachers from both the veterinary and human medical fields. The program was an international success that provided excellent training to a cadre of veterinarians that formed a driving force for the tremendous growth of knowledge and advancement of veterinary surgery and anesthesiology that occurred during the next 25 years.
Dr. Lumb was active in the development of the American College of Veterinary Surgery (serving as President in 1973), and the American Society of Veterinary Anesthesiologists (later to become the American College of Veterinary Anesthesiology). His textbook was the first to cover anesthesia in all animal species of clinical and research interest and is still prominent after several new additions.
Honor Alumnus
Dr. James L. Voss, DVM, MS
Dr. Voss, former Dean of the College, is a triple alumnus of Colorado State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in 1956, his DVM in 1958, and his master’s degree in 1965. He dedicated his 43-year career to CSU, where he served until his retirement in 2001. Dr. Voss started his CSU career as an ambulatory clinician and was a faculty member in the Department of Clinical Sciences. He eventually was promoted to head of that department before being selected as Dean of the College in 1986.
During his time at CSU, Dr. Voss led an internationally recognized animal reproduction program that put the University on the map for advancements in assisted reproductive technology for horses and other animals. His extraordinary vision and perseverance resulted in the construction of new facilities, recruitment of outstanding faculty, and the establishment of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences as one of the top-tier veterinary medical program in North America. He is largely responsible for the expansion of the WICHE program to include the education of veterinary medical students in the western United States.
