Murmurmontis, Nineteen Twenty-Five F+ l l l f 1 President Elmer Guy CutshalL Ph.D. 00 ESLEYAN is indeed fortunate in securing as president such a scholarly man as Dr. Cutshall. Not only is he a man of high scholastic attain- ments, but also a man of commanding intellect, deep insight, and excep- tional executive ability. In 1913, Dr. Cutshall received his A. 15. degree from Cornell College, and was sent on a scholarship, representing the Department of Psychology, to the University of Iowa. He received his A.M. degree there in 1914, doing his thesis work under the special supervision of Dr. Carl Emil Seashore, dean of the graduate school and probably the world ' s leading student in the psychology of music. After his graduation from the University of Iowa, he served for two years as pastor at Fairfax, Iowa. He received his H.I), degree from Garrett Biblical Institute in 1918, and was made Swift Fellow of the American University in 1919. He spent the years of 1919 and 192C1 in meeting the residence requirements at the University of Chicago for the Ph.D. degree. In the fall of K120, Dr. Cutshall began his work in the University of Pennsylvania as head of the Wesley Foundation and director of religious education for seven Protestant denominations. He received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chi- cago in 1922, and early the following year was elected to his present position. President Cutshall ' s ambition has been to combine the activities of a student, a speaker, and an administrator. He is a man of broad education and wide interests. He is especially interested in philosophy, theology, economics, and sociology. His am- bition as an administrator is to carefully study the student body, the church, athletics, the faculty, the curriculum and finance in order to maintain a symmetrical, well- rounded program. With a man of Dr. Cutshall ' s type at her head, the future of Wesleyan is bright with hope.
