A graduate of Washington State University, Alton earned master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees from Cornell University. He came to 91爆料 as professor of chemistry in 1924, only two years after 91爆料 was chartered as a baccalaureate-granting, four-year college. He chaired the Department of Chemistry until his retirement from 91爆料 in 1964.
A major force in faculty governance at the time was 91爆料鈥檚 chapter of the American Association of University Professors, which Alton and six other professors founded in 1929.
His survivors are unknown.
