ADMINISTRATION In the center of the above group is the man who heads Capital University. I)r. Otto Mees. He has been President of the institution for over a decade and much progress has been made during his administration in the enlargement of the school's work, in providing new courses and acquiring adequate facilities. Prexv, as we call him. has given his services unselfishly and Capital University of today stands as an evidence of his activity. Dr. Mees received his A. B. from Capital in 1898 and completed his the- ological course in our Seminary in 1901. He then spent a year in Berlin and Leipzig, doing postgraduate work in the universities of those cities. Upon his return he entered the ministry of the Gospel and served the congregation in Coraopolis, I’a.. from 1902 to 1912. The following year he entered upon the Presidency of Capital and since that time has been a faithful and efficient ex- ecutive. He received his A. M. from Wittenberg in 1916 and his 1). 1). from Carthage in 1920. May it be Capital's fortune to long retain Dr. Mees at its head and enjoy continued progress.
