8 THE AFTERMATH: Ctmumti ftrtljttr Cngler, Pj.EL iLiLB. j3rc0itirnt R. EDMUND A. E N G L E R, our new President, was elected to the office he now fills on April 20, 1901, and assumed his duties at the beginning of the present college year. Dr. Engler was born in St. Louis, and received his education at Washington University, from which institution he received his bachelor’s degree, and, after several years of graduate study, the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. His special line of study was mathe¬ matics, in which he possessed great ability. Soon after graduation he was appointed an instructor at the University and afterwards was pro¬ moted to a professorship. A few years ago he was appointed Dean of the College of Engineer¬ ing connected with Washington University, which office brought him into close contact with men high in the profession. Such well-known men as Dr. H. S. Pritchett, President of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Prof. W. S. Chaplin, formerly Dean of Lawrence Scientific School, and Prof. J. B. Johnson, Dean of the College of Engineering at Wisconsin University, were his associates at the St. Louis Institution. From the above-named position Dr. Engler was called to Worcester; and during the brief time he has been here he has impressed his person¬ ality on both the Institute and the people of Worcester, among whom he has found a cordial reception.
