Pennsylvania, who has ever since been an inspiration and true help in the professor ' s happy home. Natural proclivities and thorough equipment led to the choice of teaching as a profession, and for more than twenty years Professor Houtz has been a successful instructor. He became Principal of the Pine Grove Academy, Centre County, Pennsylvania, 1885 , and was elected Professor of Mathematics, Vice Principal of the Missionary Institute in 1886, which posi- tion he filled with honor and credit till 1894, when he was chosen Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy in Susque- hanna University, where he is now a strong factor in all that pertains to good discipline and true education. As coadjutor with Dr. J. R. Dimm, Professor Houtz did much in faculty committee work to advance the interests of the Institute, and has for years been the Chief Librarian of the College, performing much arduous labor there, and has always been a safe counsellor, and an active participant in all college work and student delights. In connection with his earlier professional labors, he also took a Theological course in the Missionary Institute during the time of Dr. Peter Born ' s incumbency, and was licensed as a Minister of the Gospel, by the Central Pennsylvania Synod in 1888, and ordained by the same in 1899. As statistician of Central Synod he has served most ac- ceptably since 1896. He acted in the capacity of delegate for his Synod at the General Synod, convened in York, Pa., 1899. He also supplied a pastorate for some time in Luzerne county, while professor in the Institute, and has always been a very busy man. From past successes we may safely predict greater achieve- ments and a brighter future for this faithful instructor and popular professor of Susquehanna University.
