Rev. Dr. Louis M. Hirshson When the Rev. Dr. Louis M. Hirshson was inaugurated nineteenth president of Hobart College last year, a clerical tradition was reestablished which had existed from 1822 until 1936. He dis- claims any working knowledge in the field of higher education, and admits to the mastery of no unique administrative techniques. However, his previous record indicates unusual if not profession- al preparation for the job at hand. He once told a reporter, that he doesn’t shy away from being called a “utility infielder” and says that whatever he has accomplished in the past has been through his ability to see the essential though sometimes hidden nature of the problem, and to inspire others to work toward its solution. As far as his plans for Hobart are concerned there is nothing hidden. They are to push in every concerned area, not to keep Hobart the good college that it is, but to get it into the forefront of America’s truly fine liberal arts colleges, and to strengthen its relation with the church.” Dr. Hirshson has had a rich and varied career. Receiving his B.S. degree from Harvard Univer- sity in 1922, he was ordained in 1925. From 1946 to 1956 he was Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford, Conn, and in 1956 received his S.T.D. from Berkeley Divinity School, New Haven, Conn. President Hirshson has also been engaged in the business world. He was a salesman for Proctor and Gamble in Ohio, coached a professional football team for three years, and has been associated with the founding or trusteeship of several schools, two of which are graduate schools of theology. During World War II he was chairman of the Pittsburg, Pa. Area War Labor Board Committee and, since 1950, trustee of the Inter-Professional Commission on Marriage and Di- vorce Laws of the American Bar Association. This is an unusually rich preparation for a college presidency. '7
