Dr. Cardwell received his bachelor's and master's degrees in dairy science at Texas Tech University. He received his doctoral degree in animal science at North Carolina State University. He came to Mississippi State University in 1952 as a professor in dairy science. He taught most of the courses in the field of dairy foods including courses in cheese making-Edams, cheddar, and cottage. He was proud to say he taught several hundred students how to make the famous Edam cheese. He enjoyed giving tours of the MSU cheese plant. He held joint appointments with the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station and the Mississippi State University Extension Service. He was a member of Gamma Sigma Delta, Sigma Xi, and Phi Tau Sigma and was listed in Who's Who in the South and Southwest and Leaders in American Science. He retired from MSU with 42 years of service and was awarded professor emeritus status. Dr. Cardwell was the recipient of the National Kraft Dairy Science Teaching Award, MSU Alumni Association Teaching Award, Gamma Sigma Delta Teaching Award, and the Alpha Zeta Outstanding Teaching Award. He was a MSU Patrons of Excellence donor. He was extremely active in the community working in areas such as the United Way Budget and Allocations committee, Oktibbeha County Hospital auxiliary patient representative, Cancer Society Relay for Life committee, Golden Triangle Planning and Development District advisory committee, Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum advisory board, Chamber of Commerce, and a benefactor of the Starkville Community Theater.
