!Ti|SAIA fe i ' 1 w DR. ALBERT BLEDSOE DINWIDDIE. W ' 1 r rz lo 1€ ) L T ,n The remarkable progress of Tulane University in the last two years is due principally to its able and energetic president. Dr. Dinwiddle has had the support of the faculty in all of his undertakings, but upon his I n shoulders has fallen the burden of the work, and to him, consequently, I li should be given the principal share of the praise. Lj Dr. Dinwiddle is still a young man, with many years of usefulness L ' U ahead of him. He is a native of Virginia, and an alumnus of the Univer- L U sity of that state. He began his work as a teacher at the University of |J L. ' Virginia, in 1888. After taking his doctor ' s degree in 1892, he studied [I L. in Germany at the University of Gottinger. Later, he taught in the Q L. University School at Charlotteville, Va. ; then he became principal of M, H — the Greenwood Academy, Greenwood, Va. ; and was, in 1896, made pro- ' ' ■ fessor of mathematics at the Southwestern Presbyterian University, at j j Clarksville, Tenn. He came to Tulane in 1906 as assistant professor of n mathematics and astronomy. Two years later he was made associate pro- ! ■ H fessor, and in 1910 professor. In the same year he was appointed Dean I ' of the College of Arts and Sciences and Director of the Summer School. M i ) In both of these positions he displayed remarkable administrative powers. M n On the retirement of Dr. Sharp from the presidency of the University, L [ n in 1918, he was chosen to succeed him. LJ U His work as president has been principally connected with the en- i ] U dowment, which, through his efforts, has been increased nearly $3,000,000. n M The campaign on behalf of the endowment fund, launched in June, 1920, j ) M was one of the most spectacular and successful ever undertaken in the ■ | H country. Long before it opened every detail had been carefully worked fH M out. In two weeks, in spite of a car strike and other handicaps, nearly || n $2,000,000 was raised. Since that time nearly $1,000,000 has been h n added, principally through President Dinwiddle ' s individual exertions. , l M The future of the University is thus assured. Under a president who 7 ] n understands all of its problems, and is sparing no effort to solve them, it H M can look forward to an indefinite period of progress and prosperity. r-| ll i k l)
