At a very young age, while attending Wicomico County Schools, William Hull ' s ambition zvas to be a doctor, but fate apparently foresaw the service he could render in education. As a product of Nanticoke High School in Nanticoke, Marylaiui, Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, and the University of Pennsylvar ia in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, William O. Hull prepared himself well for the service he was to render in the sciences. Many youth of the area and from UMES are in scientific or eyigineering fields because of the wisdom and guidance he gave them. According to Mr Hull, one of his most gratifying experiences ivas teaching his three younger brothers who are nozv engineers and one sister who is a medical researcher Mr Hull ' s expertise has been utilized over the years in many community activities.
