josepi) Edward $tubb$ rx 3 OSEPH EDWARD STUBBS, D.D., L.L.D., was born in Ashland, Ohio, March 19, 1850. His early education was received at the Ashland high school, where he graduated iu 1868. From here he entered the classical course of the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio, in 1869, a mem- ber of the Freshman Class. The following year he was elected principal of the Delaware high school for the spring term, and ably discharged this duty. Throughout his college course he was noted for his close application and marked ability. Recognizing his ability the faculty of the O. W. U. elected him tutor of the Latin and Greek in the College Department, and for three years he filled this position very successfully He received his degree from the university in 1873. From 1880 to 1886 he was City Superintendent of Schools in Ashland, Ohio, and at the expiration of this office was offered the presidency of Baldwin Univer- sity at Bera, Ohio. Du ring the eight years of his administration the affairs of the University were in a very prosperous condition. The enrollment of students was increased, the campus was enlarged, and the endowment fund was increased from $13,000 to $180,000. Two beautiful buildings, the Recitation Hall and Library, were also built, and remain as marks of Dr. Stubbs ' untiring effort and persever- ance. In 1890 the faculty of the Baldwin University granted him a leave of absence for two years. He spent this in travel and in pursuing the studies of German, philosophy and literature in the University of Berlin. After his return to the University he was elected president of the College Association of Ohio. In 1894 he accepted the presidency of the University of Nevada. Dr. Stubbs brought with him to this position a wide experience in educational work. During his five years ' administration the development of the institution has been remark- able. The course of study has been raised until it compares favorably with that of other instittitions of its class. The enrollment of students has increased from 189 to over 300, four splendid buildings have been placed upon the campus, and the campus itself has been enlarged. Through his efforts in organizing University Extension Classes the University influence has been felt in many places through- out the state. The present prosperous condition of our University is very largely due to Dr. Stubbs ' personal efforts. Through him our college has been recog- nized by other colleges. In 1895 he was elected Fourth Vice-President of the American Association of Colleges of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts and Chairman of the college section. In his report as Chairman of the College Section, read at the meeting held in Washington November, ' 95, he discussed the Admission Requirements and the Correlation of Subjects in the Curricula of Colleges of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. In 1898 he was elected first vice-president of the same associ- ation, and at the meeting of the association held November, 189S, he addressed the College Section on Some Recent Changes in the Theory of Higher Education. Dr. Stubbs has always devoted himself to the higher interests of the institu- tion over which he presides. He has shown tact, energy, enthusiasm and sound business judgment. His influence for good has been felt by both students and the community at large.
