Later he was posted to the 3012th Ordnance Base Depot Company, Red River Ordnance Depot, Texarkana, TX. The unit just returned from the war in Europe was to be among the first Ordnance units for the pending invasion of Japan, but at Japan's surrender it was deactivated, and he became Chief, Training and Materials Branch of the RROD Ordnance Center, with secondary duty as General Courts Martial Officer. In 1946 he returned to Aberdeen Proving Ground as Assistant Chief, Training Methods Branch. Following WWII he served in the Army Organized Reserve until recalled to active duty in 1950 for the Korean War. In the Korean conflict, he served first at White Sands Proving Ground, NM where he was promoted to 1st Lieutenant. He served overseas with the Far East Command's Eighth U.S. Army, Korea, serving at I Corps Advance Headquarters, Uijongbu, on the border of North & South Korea. His duties involved him with all units along the Corps front, and as liaison with the Korean Army; he was at Panmunjom, site of the Korean truce negotiations. He was awarded the Bronze Star. He was released from active duty in 1952. Kuhn held a B.A. from New York University and an M.L.S. with honors from Columbia University. His library service began in the Reference Department, New York Public Library, then successively to the University of New Mexico; Assistant Director, ASU; Assistant University Librarian, Princeton University; Assistant Director of Libraries & Director of the Meyer Memorial Library, Stanford University and finally to Iowa State University, first as Director and then Dean of Library Services. During his tenure, Iowa State expanded its physical building with two major additions, several branch libraries, a new veterinary medical library, a new design library and broadened its collections to more than a million and a half volumes. He instituted new departments of Special Collections, University Archives, Government Publications, a Map Room, Media and Microform facilities, computer rooms and individual faculty and group study facilities. He and his colleagues at Iowa's state universities formed the first intra-university cooperative step to employ a shared computer advisory officer for all three libraries, headquartered at Iowa State. The latest Library Addition (1984) architecturally incorporated facilities specifically designed for extensive future computerization which resulted in the installation of today's e-Library system at the University. He retired in 1989 as Dean Emeritus of Library Services. Kuhn was very active in national, regional and state library professional affairs. He served as professional consultant for the Universities of Colorado, Kansas, Montana, San Francisco State and Wisconsin, and with the library accrediting arm of the North Central Accreditation Association. He is survived by a son. He was preceded in death by his long-time associate, Margaret Mae Gross. Memorials may be made to the Warren B. Kuhn Book Endowment, created by the ISU Class of 1934.
