The Saxifrage OUR PRINCIPAL William D. Parkinson, conspicuous for enlighten- ment and rectitude of heart, is an efficient teacher, a sage advisor and a reliable friend. He received his A. B. degree from Dartmouth in 1878, and after studying law at the National University in Washington, D. C, he received from that institution the degree of LL. B. He served as superintendent of schools in Falmouth, Amherst, and Waltham, Mass. In 1918 Mr. Parkinson began his duties as an agent of the State Department of Education and came to us in 1920 from that position. The school owes a great deal to him for the success of student life. He has maintained an admirable interest not only in our academic pursuits, but in our social activities as well. The members of the Class of 1924 leave Fitch- burg Normal School with a fine sense of appreciation for what he has clone for them. I Q Fitch buro Normal ? Yc
