Dr. AliDert F. Wood; w R. ALBERT F. WOODS is a native of Illinois. His collegiate education was obtained in the University of Nebraska. With a record of achievement, he came to Maryland in 1917 as instructor and division chief of experimental agriculture, and later as dean of the Agricultural College of the University of Minnesota. Dr. Woods came to Maryland in the prime of life, well seasoned in insti- tutional needs and practices, with a broad experience in his specialty — general education and agriculture. He was called to the Presidency of the State College of Agriculture at College Park in 1917. Through consolidation of the old University of Maryland with the above-named institution at College Park jn 1920 he became the President of the University of Maryland as it now stands. Since coming to this state the Federal Department of Agriculture has fre- quently availed itself of President Woods ' valued advice and services, and this in addition to his many and varied duties as executi e head of our Uni- versity and the Maryland State Board of Agriculture makes him a very busy individual. As a man, President Woods possesses many admirable qualities. He stands for right conduct in life, is mentally alert in sensing ulterior attempts at circumvention, is affable in his dealings with students and faculties, is an indefatigable worker, inspiringly hopeful in what he undertakes, meets real obstacles without flinching, and is always ready to give honest consideration to the views of those with whom he works. As an executive, President Woods is best known to the students on the campus at College Park; to those who have been privileged to observe the relationships existing there, such can testify to the wholesome admiration and affection in which he is held by students and teachers. Due to a lack of facilities in the Baltimore group of schools the students of these schools have been deprived of the privilege of knowing the President equally well and drawing the inspiration he could give them in their work. The day may not be far distant when needed space can be added where students of each group of the Baltimore schools may be assembled to be greeted and advised by the execiitixe head of the institution. When that time comes and the opportunit ' affords, it may safely be predicted that the students in the Baltimore schools shall know our President as he is known to those at College Park.

V!i i ' Hl ! v:d K Timothy O. Heatwole, M.D., D.D.S, D.Sc. Head of the Department of Information. IRCiINIA! The very name invokes a thrill of pride and patriotism in the heart of every American. No commonwealth in the Union has furnished such a glorious array of leaders of men as that lieloved state, and it was in Virginia, in the little village of Dale Enterprise that Timothy O. Heatwole first saw the light of day. Dr. Heatwole received his dental degree from the University of Maryland in 1S9.5, having been the medal man of his class. In 1897 the degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon him by the same institution. His first appointment was as demonstrator in the dental clinic, then folknved an adxancenient to a professorship, and. in 1910 he assumed the Deanship of the School of Dentistry, which position he held for fourteen years, resigning in 1924 to become Assistant to the President of the University and to give his services to the Bureau of Information and Publications. Through Dr. Heatwole ' s untiring zeal for dental education, the Dental Department of the Baltimore Medical College and the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery were consolidated with the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, and, due in no small measure to his guidance and labors, the University of Maryland became a state institution. Big in stature, big in intellect and big in heart, magnanimous to all. Dr. Heatwole is many-sided as a diamond. Perhaps the secret of his success has been that he dominates, but never tries to domineer, over those with whom he comes in contact. Yet withal, he is a humble man, and Ruskin has said, The first sign of greatness is humility. 10]
