N, ALBERT BLEDSOE DINWIDDIE, PH.D., L L D. INTH president of Tulane, Dr. Dinwiddie has guided the affairs of the Uni- versity through fifteen years of post-war inflation and depression, the most progressive and perhaps the most trying period in the century of steady advancement which forms the remarkable background of the Tulane Universitv of today. Dr. Dinwiddie as- sumed the office of president of the University October 1, 1918. having served pre- viously as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. His wealth of executive ability and qualities of character and personality soon won for him a position among leading educators of the nation. The secret of his great success is probably the fact that he is possessed of a charitable and kind nature and in the flurry of a busv executive life never loses sight of the human side. Dr. Dinwiddie alwavs has time for the little things and his range of activity is of astounding breadth. With such a ni.in in the president ' s chair, Tulane is destined to make even more remarkable strides as she enters her second ccnturv of progress.
