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
