ORKING with young people with in- tensive inspiration has always been a revealing char- acteristic trait of United States Senator Ioseph Roster, who is on leave-of-absence as President of Fairmont State College. DR JOSEPH RCSIER Renowned in educational circles, Dr. Rosier for 25 years has accepted and offered guidance to students and faculty members of the college in deep and earnest interest. He has been an inspiration to pupils and to teachers. Through him the Student Council organiza- tion has become one of the finest in the State and has exercised democratic powers. Dr. Rosier believes in young people and in their integrity when given responsibility. A native of the state, Dr. Rosier was born in the village of Wilsonburg, in Harrison County. He is a descendant of a long line of honorable West Virginia ancestors. Educated in the elementary schools of Har- rison County, he began his teaching career in 1890. Thus for more than 50 years he has been actively engaged in the field of education. From a village school Dr. Rosier went to the prin- oipalship of the Salem school, thence to the superin- tendency of the schools of Harrison County. It was there that his public career began in earnest. At the same time he was furthering his formal education and in 1895 received his B. Pd. degree from Salem College. Later he received an A. M. degree, and in 1933, after the National Education Association had honored him as its president, Marshall College conferred an LL.D. on him. Dr. Rosier, who is, and always will be, Uncle Ioe to thousands of men and women in all professions and businesses who have come in contact with him through the years, has brought national distinction and honor to the teaching profession, as well as to the entire State of West Virginia when he filled the office of the Iunior United States Senator from West Virginia. He has always been cognizant of his duties and his responsi- bilities in whatever role he has been placed, for honors have come to him because he merited them. So, to Dr. Roster, the students of the college are proud to acclaim him as their friend-one who appreciates their willingness to obtain an education.
