Taylor, Herman Ward.

"Pop" Taylor received a B.S. in Agricultural Education (1926) and an M.S. in Agronomy (1927) from North Carolina State College (NCSU), where a slight age advantage over his classmates earned him his nickname. He worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in N.C. and in Washington, D.C. before returning to Raleigh as the Director of Alumni Affairs at North Carolina State University in 1942. He retired in 1965, and served Wake County as a representative in the N.C. General Assembly from 1968 to 1970. He was awarded the Watauga Medal in 1978.
