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

PROF D. A. DuPRE. A. DuPRE was born at East Point, Va. He graduated at Wof¥ord in 1869. His career as a teacher began at Georgetown, wliere he remained for two years. Then followed one year at Ashville Male Academy, and three years at the Wofford Preparatory School. The year 1875 ' spent at the Univer- sity of Edinburgh, where he took courses in Geology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Professor DuPre left the University of Edinburgh to succeed his father. Professor Warren DuPre, as Professor of Science at Wofiford. In 1880 he was made full professor, and has held that position ever since. He has also held the. position of Lecturer on Geology at Converse College since the founding of that institution. He is also a mem- ber of the American Association for the x dvancement of Science. Professor DuPre ' s long career as a teacher of Science speaks for itself, and perhaps no teacher possesses more fully the confidence of his pupils. PROF. ARTHUR G. REMBERT. A RTHUR G. REMBERT was born in Charleston, S. C, May 30, i860. He was reared in Sumter County, but was sent back to Charleston to receive his preparatory training in Dr. Porter ' s School. Here he was thoroughly prepared for college work, and after a highly successful course graduated at Wofford in 1884. Not satisfied with this preparation for his chosen profession, he continued his studies at the University of Chicago, and there his work was characterized by the same thoroughness as had marked his early training. Indeed, thoroughness is his motto, both for his own work and that of his students. He began his work as a teacher in Laurenburg, N. C, where he remained for two years, 1884-5. I 1886-7 taught in Marion County, S. C. In 1887 he was called to Spartanburg to take the position of Head Master of Wofford College Fitting School, which position he held for ten years. In the mean time ( 1894) he was elected Professor of Greek in W 3f¥ord Collge, the position which he holds to-day. The reputation which Professor Rembert has made as a teacher, is shown by the many calls he has to teach in the State Summer Schools and Normal Training Classes, to say nothing of frequent calls to lecture on educa- tional subjects. He also holds the position of Secretary of the Association of Colleges of South Carolina, and is Secretary of the State 7 thletic Association. 14
