M., Litt. D., L. H. D. During his affiliation with the University, Dr. Hall has been successively, Collier Profess¬ or of Greek, Dean of the College, and Acting Chancellor. His deanship occupied the col¬ legiate year, 1912-1913. At the appointment of Dr. Houston to President Wilson’s Cabinet, Dr. Hall took his place as Chancellor, being succeed¬ ed in his own office by Dr. John L. Lowes. Dr. Hall’s sincere interest has exerted a potent influence upon Washington University; his achievements have reflected glory upon her name; his high regard for her is an inspiration to our entire constituency. To this eminent teacher and patron of this institution, whom we love as our leader in the movement towards a Greater Washington, this volume is gratefully dedicated. 6 i B i 5
