Dean Boyd E of the most prominent figures in university life and in Southern cduca- ion is Dean Paul Prentice Boyd, of the College of Arts and Sciences. He vas born February 26, 1877, at Camcrson, West Virginia. He was grad- uated from Oberlin College in 1898 and received a master’s degree from Cornell in 1905, returning in 1911 for a degree in philosophy. In 1912 he came to the University as professor of mathematics. The following year he was made head of that department. During this time he was president of the Interstate Oratorical Association and the Kentucky Mathematical Association. In 1917 Dean A. M. Miller, of the College of Arts and Sciences, resigned, and the Board of Trustees, upon recommendation, appointed Professor Boyd as dean pro tern. In the same, year Judge Henry Barker retired, leaving the university without a president, and Dean Boyd was made acting president until such a time as the board should elect President Barker’s successor. He ably served in this capacity until Doctor McVey assumed charge; since that time he has filled the position of Dean of the Col- lege of Arts and Sciences. In 1919 he was made president of the Kentucky Academy of Science. Through the instrumentality of Dean Boyd, in December, 1921, a chapter of Sigma Xi, national honorary scientific fraternity, was installed at the University. The election of Dean Boyd as president of the local chapter is a partial recognition of the great service lie rendered in procuring it. During the past summer Professor Boyd, in collaboration with Professors Reese and Davis, wrote and published, “A Course in Analytics”. This book is now in use at the University, and is proving very satisfactory. Dean Boyd has been for years a frequent contributor to well known educational magazines and quarterlies. The fact that his name is found listed in “Who's Who in America”, “American Men of Science”, and “Who's Who in After-War Education” attests his prominence. Since coming to the University, Dean Boyd has introduced a number of innova- tions that have looked toward better scholarship and conduct of the University. He is a man of breadth, widely acquainted with educational problems, firm in decisions, but possessed of a rare sympathy in the handling of students that wins not only esteem, but love. 18
