Before coming to Lubbock in 1934, Dr. Oberholtzer served as super- intendent at Bellville, Texrs, from 1926 to 1928, and then at El Campo from 1928 to 1934. He received his B. S. degree from the University of Illinois, his M. S. degree from Texas A. M.., and his Ph. D. degree from Teachers College, Columbia University. This year Dr. Oberholtzer was elected president of the West Texas State Teacher Association at the meeting at Lubbock. In the three years he has been here he has shown completely that his high official standing does not keep him from being genial and understand- ing. No difficulty is too small for this busy executive to take time out from his many tasks to help solve. His presence in a classroom does not make the atmosphere stilted fqr students revere rather than fear Dr. Oberholtzer. -4 22

Before that he had been principal of Central Ward and teacher in high school. Texas Christian University, Southern Methodist University, and Texas Technological College are among the colleges he has attended. In 1916 he started in the profession of educating youth as principal of Spur High School. When the Stars and Stripes entered the World War, Mr. Matthews did too. However, he did not cross the ocean, but was station- ed at Kelley Field in San Antonio. After leaving the army he engaged in farming and ranching for two years. Students find Mr. Matthews sincere, genuine, and fair in wanting to help them with their problems. He believes rules should be obeyed or abolished. 4 23 ►-
