Kenneth Cox was born in Upper Stewiacke, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, on June 28, 1899, the son of Charles Creighton and Annie (Logan) Cox of the same community.

He attended the Upper Stewiacke public school. He registered at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College and graduated in 1921. In the fall of 1922 he continued his studies at the Ontario Agricultural College and earned a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Agricultural Option and Animal Husbandry elective in 1924.

In his senior year he was a member of the Ontario Agricultural College Livestock judging team which won the Canadian Competition in Toronto and placed second in the international competition at the Chicago International Fair. Individually he placed fifth in a class of 110 competitors. He later continued to study at MacDonald College of McGill University where he majored in agronomy and obtained a Master of Science degree in 1929.

Following graduation from the Ontario Agricultural College, Dr. Cox worked as assistant to the Superintendent of the Dominion Experimental Farm in Nappan, Nova Scotia. In this role he was responsible for research on cereals, forage, root crops and fertility. His basic research studies on the club root resistance of the Chignecto Swede turnip and the role of boron in the control of Brown Hart disease, were conducted during this time.

In 1937, Dr. Cox moved to Truro, Nova Scotia, where he accepted an appointment as Provincial Agronomist and Professor of Agronomy at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College. These two roles were continued until 1946. In 1941 he was also appointed Vice-Principal of the College and Farm Director. He became Acting Principal in 1946 and was appointed the sixth Principal of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College in 1948, a position he filled until his retirement in 1964.

The complete teaching staff and all teaching resources had to be relocated to temporary facilities obtained at Camp Debert following the loss by fire of the College Science Building and all its contents in 1946. The adjustments were made swiftly and smoothly, at a time when large numbers of ex-military personnel were in attendance as students. Under the leadership of Dr. Cox, the college served the students well and moved back to the main campus with the opening of the new science building in 1953. After "the Debert Interlude" he led the college through continual growth which included the opening of the first residence in 1957.

Dr. Cox was a member of the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturalists (now the Agricultural Institute of Canada), served as President of the Nova Scotia Institute of Agrologists, Member of the Board of the Canadian Seed Growers Association, for many years Honorary President of the Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture and an Honorary Member of the Senate Club of the Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture, Past Master of Acadia Lodge No 8, A.F. and A.M. Amherst, N. S. from 1936 to 1937. He was made a fellow of the Agricultural Institute of Canada in 1960, and an Honourary Life Member of the Canadian Seed Growers Association in 1960. He received a Coronation Medal in 1953. His effective contribution to agricultural education was recognized by McGill University in 1964 when that institution awarded him an honourary LL. D.

Following the death of the Late Dr. Cumming he became Principal Erneritus of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College and Cox institute of Agricultural Technology was named in his honour in 1968. Dr. Cox gave leadership as an elder of St. Andrew's United Church in Truro, Nova Scotia, and in a wide variety of both community and agricultural organizations.

Dr. Cox married the former Dorothy Creelman of Upper Stewiacke; a son Donald died in 1955. Most of his retirement years were spent at 52 Dominion Street, Truro, Nova Scotia. He could often be found gardening and helping others in Agricultural organizations, or in church and community projects.

Dr. Cox died on August 15, 1994, at the age of 95 years.

He was Assistant in the Department of Animal Husbandry at Macdonald College in 1918-19 and was Supervisor of Re-Educational Classes, Department of Soldiers Civil Re-Establishment in 1919.

In 1920 a boyhood dream came true and he became the owner of Sunnyslope Farm, Windsor, N. S., where he bred Jersey cattle, Clydesdale horses, Cheviot sheep, and Yorkshire swine. For the next six years he was actively engaged in farming, but during this time he was much sought after to teach at short courses and as a speaker at agricultural meetings.

When the Nova Scotia Extension Service was organized in 1926, he was appointed Agricultural Representative with headquarters at Windsor, N.S., serving Hants County and at times areas of some adjoining counties. From 1931 to 1934 he was Assistant Director of Extension Services and from 1935 to 1940 served as Superintendent of Exhibitions and Agricultural Associations, Truro, N. S.

From 1941 to 1946 he held the dual positions of Principal of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College and Provincial Animal Husbandman. During this time he taught Animal Husbandry at the College and was one of the first to give formal lectures in Farm Management at that institution. In 1946 he was granted leave of absence due to ill health.

He took an active part in the formation of the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturalists (now the Agricultural Institute of Canada), was a charter member and was elected a Fellow in 1948.

While he served with distinction in the several positions held during his professional career, his forte was as an extension field worker. He loved meeting people and was never happier than when he was visiting farmers at their homes or meeting them at agricultural meetings.

A visit to Sunnyslope Farm was an experience that passed all too quickly. He was a wonderful host. Guests were made welcome and entertained royally.

Mr. Boulden was a member of Christ Church of England, Windsor, N. S. where he served as a Warden.

He was a strong supporter of the Great War Veterans' Association and later the Canadian Legion. His professional duties prevented him from accepting office, but in 1949 he was elected Honorary President of the Hants County Branch of the Canadian Legion, the first comrade to receive that high award, and it was his great pride.

When ill health forced him to relinquish office, he retired to Sunnyslope Farm. He died on January 30, 1955, and was laid to rest in Maplewood Cemetery, Windsor, N. S.
