' Airruuu Row1.ANo Sc.D. ARTHUR I. ROWLAND, Sc.D. R. ROWLAND had, throughout his early education, the opportunity of widely diverse training, so valuable to one who is constantly meeting that most complex type of human nature--the student. After a year spent at the University of Penn- sylvania, and several in the study of languages at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Rowland became interested in dairy farming and dropped his college work for a time. Three years later, in 1890, he re-entered Johns Hopkins, graduating as a Proficient in Applied Electricity in 1893. Almost immediately afterwards he came to Drexel lnstitute. It was at the time when the lnstitute courses were in process of formation and Dr. Rowland was given entire charge of purchasing and in- stalling the equipment as well as starting the classes in Electrical Engineering. ln answer to a continually growing demand, in 1906, the School of Engineering was organized to include courses in Me- chanical and Civil, as well as Electrical Engineering with Dr. Rowland as Director. ln that year too, Bucknell University conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Science. . Dr. Rowland's work as consulting engineer, especially in the field of lighting and illumination, has brought him into great promi- nence in his profession. He is a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Illuminating Engineering Society, the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, and the En- gineer's Club of Philadelphia. ln one of the Dean's addresses to the student body, he referred to himself as a mother's helper, not to aid in the inflicting of punishment, as many of this vocation are wont to do, but to help the more immature members of his large family to help themselves. The students of Drexel lnstitute appreciate the organization of Drexel into a family group in which they gladly accord the Dean this honorable position. Page eight
