$resibent W. a. ietois, W. a. 11. ©. P RESIDENT William A. Lewis came to us from the Uni- versity of Utah. He is a Missouri man, having been reared on a Missouri farm and receiving his elementary education in a country school and a town high school. He graduated from the Chillicothe Normal and Business College, taught a country school, and later graduated from Valparaiso University. He was a student at the Armour Institute of Technology, and took special work in both the University of Illinois and the University of Wisconsin. He taught in the High School at Warrensburg, Missouri, and the State Normal School at the same place. He taught Chemistry in the Central High School of Kansas City, in Kansas City College of Pharmacy and at the State Demonstra- tion Farm in the Missouri State Normal. Then he occupied the chair of Industrial Education, was Professor of Agriculture and director of the State Demonstration Farm at the Uni- versity of Utah. President Lewis came to our institution in March, 1914. Since then the college has developed and increased until it is now ranked among the best. We hope that our school will have a bigger and better future, as exemplified, in all that is good and worth while, by our beloved President. Page 19
