GRA ITE President Edward M. Lewis PREXY ln an age when specialization is emphasized, it is a rare occurrence to find a man so thoroughly , proficient in many fields of endeavor that he might be called a versatile specialist, such a man is President Edward M. Lewis, our Prexy who may well be called a versatile specialist. The more important facts of his life and a brief of his life will confirm this assertion. Coming to the United States in l88l with his parents, john C. and jane tDaviesH Lewis of lVlachynlleth, Wales, Prexy acquired learning at Williams College, graduating in 1896 with a Bachelor of Arts degree, and remaining at that institution for three more years for his master's degree. Since that time he has risen to be one of the best-known and most-respected educators in the United States. Columbia, Williams, Yale, Harvard, and Massachusetts Agricultural College are among the institutions at which he has President I-jtlwgirti M, Lcwig taughtg indeed, he was President of the latter for a period of six years before accepting the offer of the President's desk at the University of New Hampshire. Evidence of his ability in the field of education is found in the fact that six colleges have conferred honorary degrees upon him, yet his talent in this field is rivalled by his proficiency in athletics. ln the years 1896 to 1901 he pitched for Boston baseball teams in both the American and the National Leagues. ln between times, from 1897 to IQOI, he coached the Harvard baseball team, and from 1920 to 1923 he was president of the New England Athletic Association. Our President specializes, too, in the field of politics and in the field of religion. ln politics, he has twice been candidate for Congress, and has been chairman ofa stateconven- tion. He is a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and a member of the Foreign Policy Association, as well as being actively interested in organizations concerned with the lfar East. ln religious activities, he was at one time an instructor in the Yale Divinity School, he has been Vice-President of the Massachusetts l-'ederation of Churches, and is at present a director of the Northern New lingland School of Religious Education. The progress of the University of New Hampshire since 1927, when President Lewis took oflice, is a further testimonial to his talent. Can there be any doubt that, with a l'l'lill1 of such proved ability and accomplishments as guide, the University of New Ha1npshire will continue to advance to even higher planes in the educational world?
