HERBERT L. CUSHING. Educator In 1936 a man, whose ideals, hopes, and aspirations were to have far-reaching ef- fects, walked into the administration build- ing of the State Teachers College of Kearney and assumed the presidency of the institu- tion. It was fortunate that this man arrived when he did for in the ensuing years his strong hand was of immeasurable help in guiding the students of Kearney College through that tumultuous period that we now call the prelude to war. The story of our president's life is well- known to all students for it is typical of the desire for education and success of many. He was born in the little city of Ord, Ne- braska. In high school his apparent interest in education was evident for he registered for a normal training course, and upon grad- uation he accepted a position as teacher of a rural school in Valley County, fit the end of two years he was employed in a hard- ware and implement store, where after fif- teen months he had earned and saved enough money to attend the Grand Island College. Records indicate that he participated in numerous college events, was active in basketball, debate, college publications, and served as president of the Y.M.C.fi. and a literary society. He augmented the depleted hardware funds by working in a salebam and a shoe store; he knew the true meaning of working to be educated. Miss Bovorly Haxby was of invaluable aid when let- ters, records, and statistics were needed. Sixteen years later he completed work on his Masters Degree at the University of Chicago and the University of Nebraska. Twenty-two years after this, he received his Doctor of Education Degree from the Ne- braska V esleyan University. Editors Wardrop and Lowis discussed Blue and Gold problems with the President, who was not at all per- turbod. Page 20
