18 THE POLY PRINCIPAL, WILLIAM ANDERSON The position of principal is most fortunately filled by Mr. William Anderson, whose forceful personality, strict adherence to lofty principles and generous dealings with the students have clearly made for him an enviable place in the Polytechnic World. His influence outside the school has reflected much credit upon the institution and his power is already felt in educational circles throughout the state. The administration of the Polytechnic has never felt so sure a footing, so efficient a direction, nor so sound and sensible a policy as under Mr. Anderson's guidance. The details and routine of the everyday school work, upon which depends so large a measure of the success of every institution. have been conscientiously and painstakingly worked out in masterly fashion. The office records of each student are accurately filed, the daily schedule of Work and recreation runs smoothly and naturally, and the relations of faculty and students are rendered happier and easier under the tactful articulation which Mr. Anderson's methods of administration accomplish throughout every department of the school. ' Himself an active teacher of mathematics and civics, Mr. Anderson understandingly facilitates classroom problems and gives helpful suggestions in his supervision. He has won the hearty support of the student body and the loyal co-operation of a highly intelli- gent faculty. His experience before coming to the Polytechnic, as principal of schools at Wood- stock, Virginia. Superintendent of Citv Schools at Bristol, Tenn., and as Principal of the District Agricultural and Mechanical School of Lebanon, Virginia, has combined most favorably with his natural gifts as a leader of young people, to fit him admirably to par- ticular Polytechnic needs.
