DAVlD MAX SHARER was born June 10, 1891, at Mt. Morris, Illinois. This seemingly unpretentious event was destined to be a fortunate one for De Paul, since it gave them the present Comptroller of the University. Following his graduation from the local high school, Mr. Sharer attended Mt. Morris College for a year before transferring to Northwestern, where he received his A.B. in Accounting. Wishing to further his studies, he went on to receive his A.M. from the University of Chicago, and he is presently a Certified Public Accountant. Drake University, where he was a professor of ac- counting and finance, was the first stop in Mr. Sharer's teaching career. This was followed by a professorship in accounting at the University of Akron, Ohio, before he started at De Paul in 1926. He rose to his present posi- tion in the short space of six years, after holding the title of Chairman of the Accounting Department and Assistant Dean of Commerce, and during World War Il he was Acting Dean of Commerce for one year. He has also been on the University Council Lay Board of Trus- tees since it inception at De Paul. Some of the other highlights of Mr. Sharer's career include being the football and basketball coach at Waterloo, Iowa and Boise, Idaho, and belonging to both the American Accounting Association and the Central Association of University Business Officers. Mr. Sharer and his wife, Doris, have three children, David M., Jr., Robert A., and Mrs. Elizabeth Sharer Cox, who have a grand total of seven children. Mr. Sharer, along with Dr. Howard Egan, started the Faculty Annual Gold Outing in 1936. His other hobbies lbesides golfl are playing the saxophone and singing with a barbershop quartet. Here is truly a fine example of what hard work and ambition can do, and we proudly HONOR, MR. DAVID M. SHARER, in this 1958 DE PAULIAN.
