Hon, William H, Ulrich ON. William H. Ulrich was born in Lower Swatara township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, June 7, 1884. His parents belonged to that thrifty class of citizens the Pennsylvania agriculturists. He was thus at once placed in an environ- ment of practical affairs in which he has distinguished himself and honored his county and parents. He was educated in the common school and in the Middletown Academy. A keen intellect and generous nature made him popular among his fellow students and college authorities. When he left he carried with him not only a diploma but the regard and respect of the faculty to the extent that when a vacancy in the faculty occurred he was chosen to fill it. Graduates attest his ability. After nine years spent in the teaching profession he turned his attention to civil engineering and for over twenty years this was to him a pleasant task the memories of which were brought to his mind recently while running a line surveyed forty-three years ago. Unbounded pluck, energy and sterling manhood have characterized the years of his business life. Pine buildings in this and other states and Washington, D. C, witness his business foresight and ability in making Brown Stone yield him revenues. His quaries are the largest in the State. His business ability and integrity made him cashier of the Farmers ' Bank of Hummelstown. When the call came for a straightforward, conscientious man of known ability to represent their interests in the Legislature, we do not wonder that the citizens turned to him. His terms of service tell how well he discharged his duties in the interest of his constitu- ents. The prominent positions on boards and committees attest the esteem in which he was held by the House. For six years he was Prothonotary and Clerk of Court of Quar- ter Sessions. He was also one of the state commissioners to the St. Louis Exposition. Along with other duties he is Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners and Secretary of the Board of Prison In- spectors of Dauphin County. He was elected Trustee of Lebanon Valley College and at once became President of the Board. To the administration and interests of the college he has been a loyal friend. It is not surprising that this man successful in life and a friend to the institution, holds a warm place in our hearts, and that the Class of 1907 dedicates their annual to him.
