TOBEY Faculty Adviser Dedication We, the class of 1932, in true appreciation and grateful acknowledgment of the unfailing service given to us and to humanity dedicate this Tekoa to George W. Winslow and Charles B. Wilson CHARLES B. WILSON Charles B. Wilson T r. Charles Branch Wilson was born October 20, 1861 at Exeter, Maine, from whence his parents soon removed to Waterville, Maine. Here he received his education, passing through the graded schools, the preparatory school, and Colby College, from which he graduated in 1881 with the degree of A. B. He remained at Colby as a postgraduate student and tutor in Botany from 1881 to 1884, receiving the degree of A. M. in the latter year, and was given the honorary degree of Sc. D. in 1908. Owing to temporary disability he was a private tutor from 1884 to 1891; having then completely recovered he became Professor of Natural Sciences at the State Normal School at Gorham, Maine. He resigned this position in 1894 to take a postgraduate course at Johns Hopkins University, where he served as student assistant in Biology during the year 1895-6. In September, 1896 he was appointed Professor of Biology here at the State Teachers College in Westfield, and in 1897 was made Head of the Science Department, which included Geography. From this position he is now retiring after 36 years of continuous work in the school with but a single leave of absence. He obtained this leave of absence in 1909 and returned to Johns Hopkins as a graduate student and fellow by courtesy, finishing his doctorate work and receiving the degree of Ph. D. in 1910. During the summer months of 1805 and 1896 he was director of a summer school in Biology at Harpswell, Maine; in 1897 a member of the Johns Hop- kins Biological Expedition to Jamaica; in 1898 and 1899 a research worker in the Tufts College Biological Laboratory at South Harpswell, Maine; from 1900 to 1923 he served during the summer vacations as a temporary assistant of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. In this latter work the summers of 1900 to 1904 were spent at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, 1905 at Beaufort, North Carolina, 1906 at Lake Maxinkuckee, Indiana in investigating the copepod parasites of our food fishes. The sum- mers of 1907 to 1909 inclusive were spent on the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennes- see, Naumee, Wabash and Kankakee rivers, investigating the hab ' ts and dis- tribution of freshwater mussels. In 1910 Johns Hopkins University sent another Biological Expedition to Jamaica and four months were devoted to the study of the parasites of tropical fishes. During 1911 a survey of the ponds and lakes of Minnesota, and dur- ing 1912 of the Cumberland River, was made in the interests of pearl button manufacture. The summers from 1913 to 1923 were spent at the Bureau of Fisheries Laboratory at Fairport, Iowa, investigating the relation of various water insects to pond fish-culture. 1924 to 1927 were devoted to a study of the copepod fauna of the Woods Hole region, 1928 and 1929 to an interna- tional survey of Lake Erie, 1930 to a study of the copepods living in the sand and mud around the shores of Mount Desert Island, Maine, and 1931 to the identification of the copepod plankton obtained during the three years ' cruise of the ship Carnegie under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D. C. After retirement it is planned to continue this same kind of work throughout the entire year instead of only during the cummer. George W. Winslow lV fR- George W. Winslow is retir- ing this June after a public school service of forty-eight years. Mr. Wins- low attended Kent ' s Hill Seminary in Maine and received his professional training at the Eastern State Normal School at Castine, from which institu- tion he was graduated in 1883. He later took a course at the New England Conservatory of Music at Boston. He divided his first years of teaching between Maine and Connecticut, but since 1886 he has had charge of schools in Massachusetts. With the establish- ment of the Training School, he was chosen principal, a position which he has held continuously for thirty-two years. Few Massachusetts principals have had a longer or more gratifying career. He retires in the midst of health and usefulness, with the esteem and honor of hundreds of well-wishers. ddL e 2. - PRESIDENT OF THE STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE AT WESTFIELD Q E h w O J O o en Hi I O Teachers College Faculty Charles Russell, Ph.
