DR. HENRY NELSON SNYDER. HENRY NELSON SNYDER was born in Macon, Ga.. January 14th, 1865, of pioneer Virginia and Middle Tennessee ancestry. He prepared for college in the public schools of Nashville, Tenn., and entered Vanderbilt in 1883. I ' ' 7 graduated with the Degree of A. B., and in 1894 wath that of A. M. While at Vanderbilt, Dr. Snyder received many honors. The more important of these were Editor of the University Magazine, winner of the State Oratorical Medal, and class representative at commencement. Dr. Snyder began his life work as instructor in Latin at Vanderbilt University, where he remained from 1887 to 1890. He occupied the Chair of English Language and Literature in Wofford College, from 1890 to 1902, when he was elected President of this Listitution. In 1903 South Carolina College con- ferred the Degree of Litt. D. upon him, and during the same year he was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. He is a member of the Modern Language Association of America, of the General Educa- tional Board of the Southern Methodist Church, of the Religious Educative Association, and of the Joint Hymnal Commission of the Southern and Northern [Methodist Churches. Although pressed with much work. Dr. Snyder finds time to make frecjuent contributions to magazines and periodicals on literary and educational topics. He was Professor of English Literature in the South Car- olina Summer Normal School, in 1898 and 1902, Lecturer on English Literature in the Summer School of the South, Knoxville, Tenn., 1903, a position which he will hold again in 1904, and also at the Summer Ses- sion of the University of North Carolina. Besides his marked success as a writer and teacher, Dr. Snyder enjoys a deserved reputation as a lecturer. The beauty of style and diction with which he clothes his thoughts, makes him universally popular on the lecture platform. The students and friends of Wofford feel that the interests of the Institution are safe in his hands, and that the College will continue the glorious career that has characterized its past history. The loyalty of Wofford ' s professors to the Listitution is most inspiring to the students. Flattering offers have been made to many of them to go elsewhere, but their devotion to the College will not permit them to accept. Dr. Snyder, especially, has been the recipient of offers of this kind, but no university position has been able to tempt him away from Wofford. 13
