    In 1872, Turner received the first Ph.D. awarded by Cornell University. After holding a professorship in mathematics, astronomy and civil engineering at the University of Cincinnati 1874-90, and acting as dean of the academic faculty of that institution (1874–77, 1884–89), he became its president in 1890. He was also president of the Rose Polytechnic Institute at Terre Haute, Indiana, from 1891 to 1894, when he accepted the chair of engineering and mechanics at the University of Minnesota.[1] He became dean of the graduate school of the University of Minnesota in 1906, and professor and dean emeritus in 1912.

    He died in Minneapolis on December 11, 1921.[3][4]
