T ifty-two of the sixty-nine years of Dean Hodgkins life were spent as student, teacher dean, and president of The George Washing- con University, He was the only alumnus of the University to become its President; His devotion and wisdom in the affairs under his care preserved the life of the University during the years of its depression and laid the foun- dation for its growth. He was a great teacher a loyal friend of student and colleague alike, a faithful and efficient administrator who be- lieved that the interests of the students should be the first care of the University.
