N November 7, 1923, William Mather Lewis was inaugurated as President of George Washington University. The ceremony took place in Memorial Continental Hall that afternoon, and was attended by educators and men of affairs from all parts of the country. President Lewis was born in Howell, Michigan. He was graduated from Lake Forest College in 1900 with the degree of A. B., and received his A. M. from Illinois College in 1902. Since becoming President of George Washington he has been the recipient of two honorary degrees: the degree of LL. D. from Lake Forest College in June, 1924. and the degree of LL. D. from Norwich University in June, 1925. He was an instructor at Illinois College from 1900 to 1903. The following three years he acted as instructor at Lake Forest College. From 1906 to 1913 he was Headmaster at Lake Forest Academy. The last two years of this period he was President of the Board of Education of Lake Forest, and from 1909 to 1912, lectured at the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. During 1913-14 President Lewis traveled in England, France, and Germany, studying the educational systems of those nations. Upon his return to Lake Forest he was elected Mayor of t he city. Upon the entrance of America into the war in 1917 he came to Wash- ington as Executive Secretary of the National Committee of Patriotic So- cieties. From 1919 to 1921 he was director of the Savings Division of the Treasury Department, in which capacity he developed a National Thrift Campaign during the difficult post-war period. In 1921 he became head of the Education Service of the United States Chamber of Com- merce, giving up this work to assume the Presidency of the University in 1923. In his inaugural address President Lewis said, “The ideal which we seek is a university with national character and influence .... a univer- sity sending into every corner of the land an ever-increasing company of men and women with physical stamina, intellectual strength and spir- itual power; a university true to the name of George Washington and pledged to the upbuilding of our America.” Since that time the President has worked untiringly to accomplish this ideal, and the fruits of his work are to be seen in the strengthened standards and improved facilities of the University. There is an increased loyalty, a heightened love for the University abroad on the campus which may be traced to the energy and ideals of William Mather Lewis. 1 21 ]
