Sketch of Life of Professor Hoadley. EORGE ARTHUR HOADLEY, after a boyhood and youth spent in the enviable life of the son of a New England farmer, prepared for college, partly while in attendance at the Fort Edward Collegiate Institution, and partly while teaching a district school in his native town. While a student at Union College, at Schenectady, N. Y., he pursued two courses, and at graduation in 1874 took the degree of A. B. and C. E. The degree of A. M. was conferred by his Alma Mater in 1877. In the fall of 1874 he became principal of the Argyle Academy, Argyle, N. Y., where he conducted a prosperous school for five years. In 1878 he accepted an appointment as principal of the Fort Edward Union School, a position which he held until the spring of 1883, when he received an appointment as principal of the High School in Florence, Mass. After a few years ' service in this school he was promoted to the Principalship of the Northampton High School, which position he held when in December, 1888, he was offered the Chair of Physics in Swarthmore College, which he now holds. Professor Hoadley is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Franklin Institute and its Electrical Section, and is at present the Vice-President of the College Faculty.
