NOBTllEllN'S PRESIDENT Fortunate indeed is Ohio North- ern to possess a man of such natural abilities and sterling qualities as Dr. Williams, presi- dent of the University. Through- out the years of his presidency, he has shown himself to be an efficient administrator, keen ob- server of World affairs, a true scholar, and a gifted orator. From a mill Worker at Skipton, a mere Yorkshire lad, through the years to the office of presidency of Ohio North- ern University, is the life story of Robert Williams. Born in Skipton, England, he later Worked in the mill Where his father was employed. But this energetic, zealous lad was not satisfied with life as a mill hand, he came to Ameri- ca and worked his Way through East Greenwich Academy, Old Wesleyan, and Boston University. Adeguately prepared he returned to Greenwich as vice-president, then to Dickinson, and then to Albion as administrator. Then, in l929 he came to Ohio North- ern. l-lis philosophy of life is that any- thing Worthwhile is Worth Working for.
