flenrp fLanafjan TJO PROFESSOR HENRY LANAHAN this book is affectionately dedi- 1 cated by the Senior Class of the IMaryland Agricultural College, in grateful recognition of his worth as instructor and man. As an instruc- tor, Professor Lanahan impresses all who knqw him with the fact that he is thoroughly conversant with the subjects he teaches ; and, when we say that his life is a shining example of the precepts he imparts in the class- room, we pav him the highest compliment of which the admiring Class of 1906 is capable of giving. Professor Lanahan was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 19th, 1873. His boyhood and youth were spent in Baltimore County. His early education was received in the public schools of Baltimore and Baltimore County. He entered the Baltimore City College in the Fall of 1888, graduating from this institution in June, 1893, winning, upon graduation, one of the first grade Peabody prizes. He then entered Johns Hopkins University in October, 1893, winning the Hopkins scholarship on entrance, and an honorary Hopkins scholarship in each of the two succeeding years. While at Johns Hopkins, Professor Lanahan pursued the iMathematical-Physical Course, graduating with degree of Bachelor of Arts in June, 1896. Upon graduation, Professor Lanahan was awarded the University Scholarship for the ne.xt year, but did not accept it. He entered the service of the Engineering Department of the Seaboard Air Line as assistant engineer, with headquarters at Portsmouth, Virginia. In 1898, P rofessor Lanahan came to the Maryland Agricultural College. He spent the Summer of 1900 in higher studies in his chosen work at the L ' niversity of Chicago, taking up further post- graduate work at Cornell LTniversity in 1902. He now occupies the position of Professor of Physics and Civil Engineering in the Faculty of this College, and the sincere hope of the Class of 1906 is that our Alma Mater may retain him as one of her instructors for many years to come.
