Young Woodrworth entered Hamp- den-Sidney college as a sophomore in 1889. Here he did distinguished ^’ork, dividing first honor with a classmate at the time of his graduation in 1892. While at Hampden-Sidney he was a member of Chi Phi social fraternity. After a year gf teaching in Shen andoah University school, Berryville, V’a., he entered Union Theological seminary, th^^located at Hampden- Sidney, and was graduated in 1896. He was ordained as a minister .short ly after grraduation, immediately go ing into active pastoral work. After two years, the young man felt that his talents called him definitely to ed ucational work. For four years he tai^t in private and public schools in Virginia and Florida. ^ It was in 1902 that the then Mr. Woodworth c»me to Presbyterian col lege as professor of English and his tory. After tw’o years in Clinton, he accepted the position of professor of English in the newly-organized Davis and Elkins college in Elkins, West Virginia. However, it was not long before Presbyterian college sought him again. In 1906, in response to a cordial invitation from the president, the young professor returned to take up his duties in Clinton. Since 1912 he has confined his teaching activi- .ies to English alone. IVofesior Woodnvorth has accepted^ his share of outside activity and has been useful in many ways. For a num ber of years he served as registrar, passing on all student applications, giving advice concerning courses, and wrestling with ^he appalling intrica cies of the schedule o# recitations. Through a long period he has been clerk of the faculty. Dr. Woodworth has seen much of th« growth and: developmeut -of the college, and recalls his exp<*riences and observations with a groat deal of pleasure. His close connection with tjie administration, as registrar, gave him the pulse-rate of the institution with accuracy, and he was always the first to be affected by growth in the STATE STARTS RASORCASE Jury Completed After Three Venires Are Exhausted aidi Testimony Begins.
