Mosaic ANNUAL Superintendent Hotchkiss-1928 LIFE OF PROFESSOR HOTCHKISS Thirty-six years ago Professor Hotchkiss was graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University with his Bachelor of Arts degree. He received his M aster's degree at Columbia University, New York City, and later his Ph. D. degree at Deliver University, Denver, Colorado. After graduating from O. W. U., he was elected to the superintendency of schools at Mechan- icsburg, Ohio. After five successful years, he was called to the superintendency at Ashtabula, Ohio. Later, he was appointed to the position of assistant superintendent of schools at Cleveland, Ohio, which position he held for five years. He left the Cleveland school system to accept the position of Teacher Training at Colorado State Teachers' College, Greeley, Colorado. His next move was to the presidency of the Teachers' College, Kansas City, Missouri. After many years of successful teaching in high schools and colleges, he decided to leave the teaching profession and to accept a responsible position on the editorial staff of a publishing com- pany. He worked from the branch oflice at Columbus, Ohio. The depression caused this position to be abolished. It was thus that Green Township Public Schools were able to secure his services as superintendent. He is now closing the sixth year of successful leadership of the public schools of this township.
