TO EARL W. OGLEBAY WEST VIRGINIA ' S MOST USEFUL CITIZEN AND A MOST GENEROUS PATRON OF THE UNIVER- SITY, WE THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX. DEDICATE THIS, OUR MONTICOLA -y

ABOUT HIM Waddington Farm basking in the sunshine among the hills of Ohio County is one of the gems among the myriad beauty spots of West Virginia. This farm is the creature of Mr. Earl W. Oglebay, who makes his home upon it and finds in its quiet and beauty his chief delight. While Mr. Oglebay is a farmer and ruralist by nature, the ener- gies of his life have been chiefly devoted not to the farm but to business activities. In his young manhood he was associated with his father in the wholesale grocery business and carried a sample kit and order book into many of the older towns of the state. Later the Oglebays went into the iron and steel business. In this business they prospered conspicuously, and through it young Earl became an associate of the elder Rockefeller, Mark Hanna, President McKinley, Frederick T. Gates, and other captains of industry. For some years Mr. Oglebay spent most of his time in Cleve- land but later his interests in his native state and the community where Mrs. Oglebay had spent her girlhood days revived and West Virginia once more came to occupy the home place in his heart. In 1910 Governor Glasscock entreated him to accept a place on the State Board of Regents which was responsible for the sc holastic affairs of all the educational institutions of the state. This position he modestly accepted, chiefly because of his interest in agricultural education. Though offering his resignation frequently, he is still retained on that important directorate which is now called the State Board of Education. His term of service on this Board has the distinction of being the longest in the history of the Board. This service has been characterized by its unselfishness, efficiency, lofty ideals, sound judgment, foresight, and ready grasp of the many problems involved. Never has any state been more truly debtor
