President Paul H. Giddens Dr. Paul H, Giddens has distinguished himself in many ways. He was a Fellow in History at the State University of Iowa and, as a Guggenheim Fellow, he wrote a volume on uThe Growth of the Petroleum Industry. 1870-1895? He was for a period of years the Curator of Drake Well Memorial Park in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and is the author of numerous books and articles on the history of the petroleum industry. Dr. Giddens received his A. B. from Simpson College in 1924, his A. M. from Harvard University in 1926, and his Ph. D. from the State University of Iowa in 1930. He has served on the faculties of the University of Kansas, the State University of Iowa, Iowa State College, Oregon State College, and Allegheny College, where he was head of the Department of History and Political Science. In March, 1953, he became President of Hamline University, and has served since that time as a wise and efficient admin- istrator of the University's policies and curricula. Under his leadership, the alumni fund has achieved nationwide recog- nition among small colleges and universities as an outstanding and rapidly-expanding program, and the University has re- ceived notable awards for its successes in this area. His admin- istration has seen the construction of Sorin Hall for VVomen, a new unit on Drew Residence for Men, and many other im- provements and additions to the physical plant of the Uni- versity. He has, since coming to Hamline, served as President of the Minnesota Private College Council, President of the Minnesota Private College Fund, Chairman of the Min- nesota Statehood Centennial Education Committee, and is currently President of the Association of Minnesota Colleges. Hamline University looks forward to continued years of growth and success under the able direction of Dr. Paul H. Giddens.
