MAXWELL was born in Mason County, lllinois,in 1870. Nine years later his family moved to a farm in western Minnesota, where he lived for three years. He attended the Appleton public school and later prepared for college in the academy of Hamline University. Upon graduating from that institution in 1893, he was elected principal of the village school of Herman, Minnesota. After holding that position for two years, he took up a similar position in the high school of Mari- nette, Wis., remaining there three years. Desiring to prepare for special work in educational supervision, Mr. Maxwell entered Teachers College at Columbia University in 1808, earning the master's de- gree the first year and studying for the doctorate the following year. At the close of the second year he was appointed principal of the training department of the Winona State Normal School, and came to take up the work in 1900. After four years in this position he was elected president of the school. During the present year he was unanimously chosen President of his Alma Materfl Hamline University, but declined the offer. It should seem then that President Maxwell's whole life has been a preparation for the position which he now holds. The healthy growth of the institution during his administration, and the hearty and loyal sup- port of the entire Faculty of the school in carrying out his policies, furnish evidence of his administrative ability. Some one has said that A great personality can not be talked about, it must be known to be understood. To know Mr. Maxwell is to admire him. He is a man of strict honesty, and common sense, ever actuated by the highest sense of duty, and of right rather than by policy. He has a feeling of kindliness and of interest in all, calmly weighing every situation. The noblest motive is the public good. He is ever willing to sacri- tice self for the good of all. At all times he is found working for others. Acting from a sense of duty his life of service makes him the student's friend. May we say of him as was said of Pestalozzi: MAN, CHRIS- TIAN, CITIZEN.
