(Shir |JrpBttfnt Dr. A. II. Wilde assumed his duties as President of the University of Arizona on May 1st, 1911. He came to us highly endorsed as an educator, as a man of learning, and as an executive. His past record is filled with achievement and success. Dr. Wilde received his first degree, that of Bachelor of Arts, in 1887, from the Boston University. In 1892, he was appointed instructor in history in Northwestern University. He engaged in graduate study and historical research in Harvard University, receiving in 1899, the degree of Master of Arts, and in 1901, that of Doctor of Philosophy. Since then he has occupied various positions in Northwestern, including assistant professor of history, professor of history, and registrar. At the time of his election to the presidency of the University, he was first assistant to President Harris of Northwestern, secretary of the University, and acting dean of the Northwestern School of Medicine. Dr. Wilde came to us with full confidence in the promise of the University, and in the future of the State. As he expressed it, “the task of the University was to develop a spirit of unity and a community of interests, not merely local, but state wide in its scope. Dr. Wilde has been with us two years and the success of his administration is seen in every phase of college work. He has placed the finances of the institution on a careful working basis, and practical business methods are in use in every department. He has extended the name of the University by very efficient ways of advertising. A state wide interest in the University has been secured by the institution of the University extension course, the establishment of the farmers’ institute, and the holding of annual conferences of high school officials and instructors, at the University. In many other ways Dr. Wilde has done much for the Institution and the plans for a greater University will soon be realized under his capable leadership and direction. 13
