Fifty-one years of Purdue University's Industrial Waste Conferences, it's difficult to remember a time when the annual event wasn't
held. The Purdue conference was the brainchild of Don Evans Bloodgood (1903-1985), the pioneer who dreamed up and pulled
off the first such gathering on November 29, 1944, long before industrial waste management had drawn much attention as an
important area of environmental engineering. Under Don's direction, the Purdue conference and its well-read Proceedings
became institutions in the newly emerging industrial waste field. The annual event provided the locus for disseminating information
and techniques, and it had a major influence on the development of industrial waste practice.
Fostering education and awareness of timely topics in environmental engineering was one of Don's many roles as a professor at
Purdue University; a researcher, writer and magazine editor; a member of several public boards and commissions; a consultancy
to industry; and a friend and counselor to students and colleagues alike. The legacy left behind since Don's death in February
1985 includes the more than 125 graduate students who were enthused and motivated by the professor affectionately and
respectfully known to all as "The Boss."
Don was born in Elkhorn, Wisconsin on February 1, 1903, the only child of Erwin and Anna Bloodgood. Don's father owned and
operated the Peck's Station country store, which adjoined the family's house along with a small farm where they raised chickens,
sheep and vegetables. Don attended grade school in a one-room schoolhouse located about a mile down the dirt road from his
home. After completing his studies there, Don moved into town to attend high school, spending each school year at the home of
his aunt.
The Bloodgood's were active members of the Bethel Methodist Church. The church held special significance for Don, for this was
where he met his future wife, Margaret Austin, the preacher's daughter. They were married in 1927. The couple's first son, Donald
A., was followed later by twins, Thomas W. and Natalie Ann.
Early Years: Milwaukee Sewage Commission laboratory, circa 1927
Don enrolled at the University of Wisconsin, becoming the first member of his family to attend college. He received a B.S. degree
in Civil Engineering in 1926 after completing his thesis on "Sealing Methods of the BOD Test." That same year, the young
engineer landed his first job as a research chemist with the Milwaukee Sewage Commission, where he remained through 1929.
Don's duties included preparing routine laboratory tests to monitor the operation of their sewage treatment plant. He also
conducted water surveys on Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee Harbor and was responsible for dealing with the public when
conditions at the plant resulted in odor problems.
In 1930, Don and Margaret headed off to Indianapolis, where Don signed on as a research chemist and sanitary engineer with the
Indianapolis Sanitary District. As the engineer in charge of operating the District's activated sludge plant, his first assignment was
to conduct a study on activated sludge filtration. During this time, Don also continued his advanced studies at the University of
Wisconsin, using the results of his laboratory and semi-plant-scale tests as the basis for his thesis.
Don enjoyed a 13-year career at the Indianapolis Sanitary District. He served as manager of the District's sewage disposal and
garbage reduction plants before being promoted in 1936 to District Superintendent, a post he held until departing for Purdue
University in 1943.
Throughout these years, Don authored technical papers on a regular basis. Articles published under his name in technical journals
of the 1930's included early reports on plant-scale studies of activated sludge performance and process, laboratory equipment
developments for microbiological activity, and the use of deep lagoons for sludge digestion and stabilization. Don continued his
writing throughout the 1940's and '50s with a series of articles in Sewage Works Journal; the articles were later compiled into a
book for wastewater treatment plant operators. And when Industrial Wastes magazine was founded, Don was chosen as the
publication's first editor.
In September 1943, Don joined the faculty of Purdue University as an associate professor, at the invitation of Professor R.B.
Wiley. Don was handed the task of developing a program of teaching, research, and extension activities in sanitary engineering
that would make Purdue a world leader. His earliest years on the job were devoted to fostering the undergraduate and masters
degree programs, but he soon expanded his focus to include a doctoral program. Don accomplished his objectives well beyond
most expectations. Recognition of his successful efforts came in the form of a promotion to full professor in 1947.
The Teacher: Don truly enjoyed time with his students, circa 1963
It was not long before Don acquired the nickname, "The Boss," from students fortunate enough to have been in his classes and
worked with him on thesis topics. Although he never acted the part of a boss in his daily role as a professor or administrator, this
affectionate title clearly indicated the respect he had won. The real testament to Don's legacy at Purdue lies in the many
graduates who went on to make their mark in academe, consulting, government, and industry. Among the 125-plus graduate
students, both masters and doctoral, who had Don as their major professor are George Erganian (deceased July 1995), managing
partner of HNTB Corp., and Charles C. Johnson, former administrator of the Federal Water Quality Administration. Don never
forgot a student he had known in his classes and was never too busy to visit and talk with them.
While taking care of his degree student's Don also wasted no time in building Purdue's university extension and continuing
education activities in sanitary engineering. One such extension tool, which he launched during his first year at Purdue, was the
Sanitary Engineering Newsletter. For nearly thirty years, Don edited the newsletter each month until his retirement in June 1971.
The newsletter was quite popular; its circulation started at about 100 and grew to over 1,500 in 1971. Since that time, the
publication has been renamed Environmental Engineering News and reached a circulation of over 10,000, with copies sent to over
54 countries throughout the world.
Within a year of his arrival at the University, the new associate professor hatched the idea that led to the first Purdue Industrial
Waste Conference. Don envisioned the event as an opportunity to bring together experts from several sectors - academe,
industry, government, and the engineering profession - to focus attention on the important, yet still fledgling, field of industrial
waste management. The Purdue conference was the first of its kind and was the forerunner of similar conferences held
throughout the world.
The initial gathering on November 29, 1944 drew 203 attendees and was followed by increasingly larger turnouts year after year.
From the very beginning, one of the secrets to Don's success was his skill in involving professor associations, industry
organizations and governmental officials in planning the conferences. Don enlisted the cooperation and support of several groups,
including the Indiana Sewage Works Association, the Indiana Manufacturers Association and various state associations
representing the canning, brewing, paper manufacturing and other industries, as well as governmental representatives from the
Indiana Conservation Department, the State Board of Health, and newly formed Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board.
During the early years, Don carried out nearly all of the detail work involved with organizing these Purdue conferences. He
arranged the speakers, scheduled the sessions, obtained audio-visual equipment, presided over opening and other general
sessions, and even helped participants find housing and transportation. After each conference, Don edited all of the conference
papers for publication in the Proceedings. Throughout the world, the design, construction, and operation of waste treatment
facilities incorporate technologies first reported on at a Purdue Industrial Waste Conference.
To this day, the conference and its proceedings are known worldwide as "the" authority on industrial waste. The annual event has
attracted many outstanding engineers and scientists from around the world, such as K. Kato of Japan; W. Haltrich and Has Gotte
of Germany; G.J. Stander of England; T. Simensen of Norway; P. Adenma of The Netherlands.
As an early pioneer in the field of industrial waste management, Don started consulting on industrial waste treatment and disposal
problems in 1943. His first client, Weston Paper Co., remained a client for over 40 years. Don's other clients included nationally
known companies such as Proctor and Gamble, Maytag, Rock Island Refinery, Scott Paper Co., Pfizer and Whirlpool, as well as a
number of relatively small regional concerns. In 1971, Don received a distinguished service award from the National Clay Pipe
Institute.
One of Don's pet projects was researching and co-designing the Sanitoi "sewerless toilet." The system was studied in the
laboratory with the aid of graduate students and staff as "donors." The system was marketed for several years after patents were
issued.
In 1945, Don was appointed to the Indiana State Board of Health. He continued to represent the engineering profession on the
board for 34 years. In this capacity, he helped institute and implement many of the state's existing pollution-control regulations.
Don's work extended to matters involving all phases of public health, from nutrition to nursing homes, in addition to his specialty in
sanitary engineering. Don also served on the advisory committee to the Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission. For these and
other public service activities, Don was twice named a "Sagamore-of-the-Wabash" by Indiana governors. At the national level,
Don was an advisor to Vice President Nelson Rockefeller during development of the report on the National Commission on Water
Quality.
Throughout his career, Don was active in several professional societies. He was president of the Central States Sewage Works
Association and was founder and first president of the Indiana Water Pollution Control Association. He also served as a director-
at-large of the Water Pollution Control Association (now the Water Environment Federation), which over the years has awarded
him the Charles Alvin Emerson Award (for meritorious service), the Gordon Maskew Fair Medal (as an engineering educator), and
the Arthur Sidney Bedell Award (for service to the Central States region). WEF also accorded Don the status of Honorary
Member, indicating preeminence in the water pollution control field. Don was president of the Indiana Section of the American
Society of Civil Engineers. One of the most treasured accomplishments was his election to honorary ASCE membership in 1981.
While maintaining a busy professional and teaching agenda, Don found time to engage in one of Indiana's own special pieces of
Americana, namely, the Indianapolis 500 auto races. As a friend of Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner and president Tony
Hulman, Don served several years in the coveted position of chief parking attendant at the Speedway. Arrangements were also
made for establishment of the Tony Hulman Fund at Purdue. The fund was created specifically for Don to use as needed for
student and staff purposes.
Don's community service included his work as a Kiwanis International member and hospital volunteer. He supported the Boy
Scouts as a council committee member and stayed active in his college fraternity as an alumnus advisor. And, of course, to his
students, Don was a friend counselor, and guide in charting and developing their careers. Throughout his own career, Don always
found time to spend with his wife and three children. In his later life, his pride was his
grandchildren and their accomplishments.
