He is yet young. Born October 4., 1869, he is not forty years old. His birthplace was in Nova Scotia, his ancestors from Massachusetts and Virginia. He attended Picton QNova Scotiaj Academy, Dal- housie University at Halifax, from which he was graduated in 1892 with the degree of A. B., Cornell University, where he received the degree of Ph. D. in 18955 the Universities of Heidelberg, Berlin, and Strassburg in 1893-4. and Clark University in the' summer of 1 896. The University of South Carolina con- ferred uponi him in I905,tl1C degree of LL. D. President Hill taught for two years in Nova Scotia schools, two years in a Wisconsin state normal school. From 1 8,98 to 1903 he was professor of philosophy at the University of Nebraska. His first con- nection with the University of Missouri began in 1903, when he was chosen professor of educational psy- chology and dean of the Teachers College. Here he reorganized and developed the work of training teachers. For the ,year 1907-08 he was professor of the philosophy of education, director of the School of Education and dean of the College of Arts and Science at Cornell University. In 1908 he was chosen president ofthe University of Missouri. Dr. Hill married in 1 896 Miss Agnes S. Baxter. They have two children, Jessie and Esther. The keynote of President Hill's administration, as announced in his inaugural address, is: The Uni- versity of the State to serve the State. To this end he seeks to make the University lead in public service, through its libraries and laboratories, research, investigation and experiment, and to lead in training for citizenship and unselfish helpfulness the students the University enrolls. Through his administration-may it be long as it will be brilliant-the University of Missouri will become a larger and more appreciated asset of all the Commonwealth. WALTER WILLIAMS- 6
