(§uv ' eia l ttsthtvi m: HE editors of the Epitome take great pleasure in presenting to tlie student body and friends of [he institution tlie new president of Lehigh University, Dr. Charles Russ Richards. Dr. Richards comes to Lehigh to fill a gap which has been open for almost two years, caused by the resignation of Dr. Henry S. Drinker as president of the University. Since that time, the Board of Trustees has been on the lookout for a man to ably till Dr. Drink- er ' s place. After so long a time, the Trustees feel that they have secured the right man in Dr. Richards. Dr. Richards, at the time of his election, was holding the offices of Dean of the College of Engineering of the University of Illinois and Director of the Engineer- ing Experiment Station at the same University. After a career of over thirty years of instructing and executive work. Dean Richards comes to Lehigh as a man capable to assume such a large task as our University presents. Dean Rich- ards has an enviable record for distinguished services in the educational and tech- nical worlds and his knowledge gained in the past should enable him to be of greater value to Lehigh. Dean Richards was born at Clarkshill, Indiana, on March 23, 1871. After receiving the usual preliminary education, he entered Purdue University in 1886. He graduated from this University in 1890 with a degree of Bachelor of Mechan- ical Engineering. The following year he received the degree of Mechanical Engi- neering from the same institution, and in 1895, the Master ' s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University. In 1920, the University of Nebraska con- ferred on him the degree of Doctor of Engineering. He was an Instructor in Mechanical Engineering in the Colorado Agricultural College during the year, 1891-1892. From 1 852 to 1911, he taught at the Univer- sity of Nebraska, holding successively the positions of Adjutant Professor of Man- ual Training, Professor of Practical Mechanics, Professor of Mechanical Engineer- ing, Associate Dean of the Industrial College and Dean of the College of Engineering. In 1911, Dr. Richards went to the University of Illinois, where he has held in succession the positions of Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Acting Dean of the College of Engineering, and Dean of the College of Engineering and Director of the Engineering Experiment Station. He is a member of numerous societies including The .American Society of Mechanical Engineers, of which he held the position of Manager from 19 18 to 1921; The Western Society of Engineers; The Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Tau and Sigma Chi. President-elect Richards will take charge of the University next September and his assuming of the otflce will be greatly welcomed by the college at large. On behalf of the student body, the editors of the Epitome welcome Dr. Richards into his new office with an assurance of whole-hearted co-operation in his efforts to better Lehigh. 14
