W. H. S. VVHITE W. H. S. White has the distinction of having been born in a saw-mill shanty near Weston, in Lewis County, W. Va. His ancestors, the Whites, Rexrodes, and Simmonses, were English and in the early history of West Virginia migrated from the Old Dominion to Lewis county and settled on Freeman's.Creek. Mr. White's father was in the lumber business at the time of the former's birth but moved on a farm near West Union, in Doddridge county, when his son Wilson was two years of age. After completing the course in the rural schools Mr. White attended Salem College. Glenville Normal. graduating in the class of '04, and West Virginia University from which he received both an A.B. and an A.lVl. degree. He has also done special work in education in Johns Hopkins University. Ar an early age he began teaching in a country school, and remained in the rural dis- tricts as teacher for three years. Since that time he has been principal at Flatwoods, l904- 06, Burnsville, I906-085 Cowen, l908-lOg and Flemington, l9l2-I 3. Hte served as superintendent of schools at Kingwood, 1910-Ilg Piedmont, l9l3-l8g and Logan. l9l8-20. In I9Z0 he came to Shepherd College as its president where he has been eminently successful. As an educator, he ranks with the most progressive in his home state. He is known throughout West Virginia as an institute instructor of ability. Besides performing the duties of president he teaches at least one class daily and thus comes in closer asso- ciation with his students and maintains a more sympathetic attitude towards his faculty than presidents who give all their attention to administrative duties and therefore find it practically impossible to keep the viewpoint of either students or teachers. In every student and teacher at Shepherd College, President White has a loyal friend. ln I908 he was united in marriage to Miss Grace Eliza Yoke of Morgantown. and in their home are five children-Jo, Billy, Betty, Jim, and Patty. 7
