MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Professor Myron Creese Professor Myron Creese was born in the small town of Red Rock, situated in the northwestern section of Pennsylvania. During his l)oyhood he attended school in Union City, Pennsylvania, and upon the completion of his course at the High School matriculated at the Pennsylvania State College ; from which he was gradu- ated in June 1905, with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Upon graduation he was awarded the T. W. White Fellowship and was thus enabled to prosecute his studies for the degree of Electrical Engineer, which he received in June, 1906. During his undergraduate career at the Pennsylvania State College Professor Creese was closely identified with many phases of its life other than the purely scholastic. He was a member of the Phi Kappa Phi Fraternity, served as major of the Cadet Battalion, and participated in a number of other activities of the college, particularly athletics. In 1906, Professor Creese was appointed instructor in electrical engineering at the Pennsylvania State College. When the Department of Electrical Engineering was established at the Maryland Agricultural College, Professor Creese was re- quested to accept a position at the institution and assist in the development of the new department. Through his earnest efforts and his fidelity to the cause, the department was brought to its present state of efficiency. As a reward for his services he was appointed professor of electrical engineering and physics in June, 1911. Professor Creese is an associate member of the American I nstitute of Electrical Engineers. The Class of 1912 has a keen appreciation of the efforts of Professor Creese in its behalf and of his uniform kindness and unfailing courtesy under all circumstances. Professor Creese is but starting upon his chosen career, and from our association with him as a teacher and as a friend, we know that it will be a most successful one.
