DR. GEORGE H. DENNY DR. DENNY The history of the Capstone during the post 37 years is almost a biography of Dr. George H. Denny. President of the University from 1912 until 1937, Dr. Mike built a great Southern institution from a small college. Today, as Chancellor, Dr. Denny re- mains active in the administration. After the death of Dr. Richard C. Foster in 1941, Dr, Denny returned to the University until Dr. Raymond R. Paty was appointed President the following year. A native of Virginia, Dr. Denny received his A. B. from Hampden-Sydney College and his M.A. from the same institution in 1892. He earned his doctorate at the University of Virginia in 1896. The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him by Furman Uni- versity in 1902; by Washington College in 1905; by Tulane University in 1912; and by Washington and Lee University, of which he was president for 10 years. Dr. Denny is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Sigma Chi. No man has done more toward the development of the University than has Dr. George H. Denny. During his long period of service he has been beloved by the thou- sands of students who have had the privilege of knowing him. Poge 25
