WITH THE resignation of Bishop Charles Claude Selecman, Dr. Umphrey Lee returned to Dallas as the new President of Southern Methodist University. 1-lis appointment, received With the jubilant approval of business men, professors, and stu- dents, prophesies a glorious future for our University. A man with liberal views and a broad mind, Dr. Lee is considered one of the foremost educators and theologians in the South. Umphrey Lee was born on March 23, 1893, at Oakland City, lndiana. 1-lis extensive education is reflected in the nu- merous degrees which he holds from various institutions. Prom Trinity University he obtained his A. B. degree in 1914, and in 1916 he received a D. D. degree from that school. Coming to S. M. U., he was awarded an M. A. degree in 1916. During the period of 1916-1922, he pursued postgraduate courses at Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary, receiv- ing his Ph. D. degree from the former school in 1931. ln the field of Theology, his Work has also been of a diversified nature. ln 1918 he was ordained a minister of the Methodist Church, South. Besides his several pastorates, he served as director of the Wesley Bible Chair at Austin and achieved literary eminence through the writing of such books as The Lords Horseman - Iohn Wesley, and Short Sketch of the Life of Christ. l-le held the position of Dean of the School of Religion at Vanderbilt University immediately prior to his acceptance of his present position. ln addition to his many other qualifications which give indication of a brilliant future in the development of Southern Methodist University, Dr. Lee has that undying loyalty of an ex-student returning to his alma mater, coupled with the understanding of a former student body president coming back to fill the Presidency of his University.
