E. R. WHITNEY Since this is the first year that Prof. Whitney has been the principal of the Binghamton High School, it seems fitting that a little space should be devoted to relating some of the events of his life. Born at Geneva on Seneca Lake, he spent the earlier portion of his school life there before going to Canandaigua Academy where he studied under Noah T. Clark. Best's Preparatory School at Clinton was the scene of his next activities, from which he graduated in '85. Now he entered Hamilton, where he took a classical course. 'He was class treasurer, campus day orator, and one of the Commencement Day speakers, and received the degree of A. B. in '89. He was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity and after graduation he took up post graduate work in connection with the college and at Chautauqua, receiving the master's degree in 1892. Prof. Whitney's extensive scientific knowledge may be in part shown by his activity in the various scientific associations of the country. He is a member of the National Geographic Society, of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and of the British Science Association. In 1895, he was one of the founders of the New York State Science Teachers' Asso- ciatiorrin which he has held at different times, practically all the offices. Mr. Whitney has read papers before all these associations, and also before the Academic Principals' Association. Two years ago he read a paper before the National Educa- tional Association at St. Louis, and last year at Asbury Park he was elected one of the officers of this association. He is also president of the New York State Hamilton Alumni Association. From '89 to '90, Mr. Whitney was associate principal of the Academy of Mexico, N. Y. Since then he has been head of the Science Department here at Binghamton, and was made vice-principal in '98. When in 1905, Principal Banta was made Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Whitney was advanced to his present position.
