R. S. HYER, A. M., LL. D„ President PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS Robert Stewart Hyer is a native of Georgia. He re- ceived his collegiate training at Emory College, being a first honor graduate, and taking the A. M. degree from that institution. In 1900, Central College, Fayetteville, Mis- souri, conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Laws. In 1882, a short while after his graduation from Emory, he came to Southwestern University and became Professor of Science. Since his coming, professors of chemistry and biology have been added, and now Dr. Hyer is Pro- fessor of Physics and has an assistant in that depart- ment. He has attracted many of the brightest students to his department, and now some of these have become dis- tinguished in the field of science. He is recognized as one of the leading scientists in the South. He is at present in the full power of his manhood and is giving his life to the institution he so much loves. Sev- eral times he has received strong inducements to labor in other fields, but in every instance has refused to leave, preferring to stay at Southwestern and make men rather than go somewhere else to make money. As a disciplina- rian, he cannot be surpassed, always ruling with dignity and firmness and kindness. His personality commands the highest confidence and respect of the entire student body. In 1898 he became Regent, and in 1906 his official title was changed to President. He is building on the sure foundation laid by his predecessors in office, and his ad- ministration of eleven years marks the period of greatest progress in the history of Southwestern University. 1 9
