WCM rTE: fi j v j at h — sj Ira Nelson Hollis “ Prexy” Ira Nelson Hollis has lived that others might better live. His motto is service, and he has spent the larger part of his time in serving the Institute. But his activities are not confined to such a small place: he has given our country efficient service and thus brought fame to our school. Ira Hollis is a native of Mooresville, Indiana. There he received his prelim¬ inary training, and later went to the Naval Academy. After graduation he was three years in active service, cruising in foreign waters. He was then promoted to Assistant Engineer and detailed as Professor of Marine Engineering at Union College. Following his work at the college he became a member of the Advisory Board which built the White Squadron. Dr. Hollis resigned from the navy to become the head of Engineering at Harvard. Here he continued his good work and completely reorganized the department. It was he who conceived and supervised the construction of the Harvard Stadium and the Harvard Union. It was in 1913 that Dr. Hollis accepted a position as President of our Institute. Since that time our Institute has been growing rapidly, and it is largely due to his readiness to serve. He has been ever alert for new ideas for the betterment of the school. Dr. Hollis has a personal interest in all the students, but up to now his time has been spent in helping those who are in trouble. Since the creation of Tech assemblies, we see more of our honored President and begin to appreciate him. We know he is working for our good and never loses a chance to spread the fame of Worcester Tech.
