The President No newcomer to the University of Arkansas is the new president, Dr. Arthur hi. Harding. A year after his graduation from the University in l90-4-, Dr. Harding joined the faculty as math in- structor, and has served in various positions ever since. The lvnivcrsity of Arkansas is a family insti- tution for President Harding, who is, by the way, a native of Pine Bluff. He is one of six brothers who graduated from Arkansas. A seventh brother attended for two years. Dr. Harding's two chil- dren are also l'niversity graduates. PRESIDENT and MRS- UARIWING, 2-Cliff' alumni at All of the President's pedagogical career, except the Homecoming rmpt one year which was spent at hlonticello A SL BI, has been devoted to the lniversity. Beginning as an adjunct professor of mathematics, he subsequently became assistant professor, associate pro- fessor, and finally in l9l6 a full-fledged professor, a post held until he became president. ln order to obtain his doctorate at the l'niversity of Chicago, President Harding got a leave of absence in 1915. But Dr. Harding's activities have not been restricted to actual teaching. During World lVar I he served as registrar and examiner, and in l9l6 he was appointed alumni secretary, an- other position he relinquished only upon becoming president. Probably the biggest achievement of President Harding has been his work in the Extension department. Since becoming head of the department in l9l9, he has enlarged its scope until now it has students doing work in every state in the Union, Alaska, Klexico, and Puerto Rico. Popular astronomy is the hobby of the President. He has made such an extensive study in the field that he is in demand all over the nation as a lecturer on the subject. In the course of de- livering 2,000 lectures he has traveled in the forty-eight states and several provinces of Canada. His is the spirit of the true Arkansas 'l'raveler',, for he gets a Ukickl' out of driving his own car over the country. President Harding is also an author. He has written a best seller on o ular astronom f. CJ He has collaborated in the writing of a number of textbooks in algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. Many educational honors have been received by Dr. Harding. He was president of the National Pniversity lixtension Association in i933-3-l. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Omicron Delta Kappa, the American hlathematical Society, and the American As- tronomical Society. The Arkansas chapter of Sigma Nu lists him among its charter members. Religiously the President is an Iipiscopalian and politically a Democrat. ln regard to the war and the liniversit ' President Hardin said Phe next few 'ears will 23 3 3 be some of the most trying in the history of the University, and we have no idea what is around the corner. But whatever it is, the University of Arkansas will be prepared to meet itf' Page
