WILLIAM RINGGOLD STRAUGHN, Ph. D. Dr. Straughn, the subject of our sketch, was born April 23, 1882, in Mardella Springs, Wicomico county, Maryland. He is the son of Reverend John Lee Straughn, a Methodist minister. His early education he received in the public schools of Maryland and Delaware, later entering Baltimore City College, from which he was graduated with honors in 1902. From City College he entered Johns Hopkins University, from which institution he was graduated in 1905. While taking his post-graduate work at Johns Hopkins he taught in the public schools of Baltimore, and in Baltimore City College, later going to Millersville (Pa.) State Normal School as head of the department of Englis h and Pedagogy. There he remained for six years — the last two years as assistant to the Principal. In 1908 he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Kansas City University. While at Millersville he was elected City Superintendent of Schools in DuBois, Pa., remaining about two and a half years, until elected Principal of Mansfield Normal. He is a member of the American Political Science Association, of the Johns Hopkins Club, and of a number of literary organizations. For several years he was a reporter on Baltimore daily newspapers. He is an occasional writer for magazines, both of poetry and prose. His first book, Home Authors — Pennsylvania, is a literature of this State. Dr. Straughn lectures at Teachers ' Institutes, High School Commencements, and on special occasions. On literary and educational questions he is within his realm and holds a unique place. Among the leading educators of the State he stands as a potent factor. By his prudence Mansfield Normal under his leadership has made marvelous strides and has taken her place on the pinnacle with similar institutions. Dr. Straughn is a profound, broad and keen thinker, and a man of liberal thought. His affable manner, his generous desire to aid the humblest student are at all times in evidence. He is held in high esteem by every person in the school, and to us he will ever be known as a wise counselor and a true friend.
