Woods E, the editors, take pleasure in here presenting to the friends of the institution cur able and well-beloved President, Dr. A. F. Woods. In 1910 Dr. Woods was appointed Dean of the College of Agri- culture of the University of Minnesota and Director of the Experi- 9 8 8 9 ment Station. It was in this dual work of great responsibility, and also during his administration of the executive affairs of the uni- versity in the prolonged absence of President Vincent that he showed the re- markable executive ability which brought him to the attention of the Maryland State Board of Agriculture when they were looking for the best-equipped man in the country to be President of the Maryland State College, now the Uni- versity of Maryland. Dr. Woods ' reputation as head of the Maryland State College made him the logical man to head the united University of Maryland. He has even now accomplished much, and will accomplish much more if the people of the State, through the legislature, will accord him proper support. The University to a man respects and loves him, and looks forward to a long and prosperous period under his care and guidance. . , Eight
