Professor Broyles Retires
From Ag Ed Department
William Anderson Broyles has
retired as professor emeritus of
agricultural education at the Col
lege, but hi s teachings still re
sound in classrooms all over
Pennsylvania.
During the quarter century he
has been at the College, Dr. Broy
les has had in class practically
every agriculture instructor in
Pennsylvania’s 305 vocational
schools of agriculture.
Dr. Broyles’ teaching career be
gan at the age of 19, before he
even completed college perpara
tory work, when he got a job
teaching “everything” in the rural
schools of Delaware County, In
diana. That was in 1899.
Between then and 1920, when
he became a professor of agricul
tural education at the College, Dr.
Broyles taught at several schools
in Indiana, North Dakota and
Texas.
Probably his best-known pupil
was Wendell Wilkie, who learned
botany and zoology from Profes
sor Broyles in Ehvood High
School, Indiana.
“As a matter of fact,” Professor
Broyles says, “he lived across the
street from us and we knew the
whole family. It’s a good ex
ample of how you never know
Hitler's Car Appears
On College Avenue
The crowds milling about Co-
Op Corner Sunday noon were try
ing to catch a glimpse of Adolph
Hitler’s favorite automobile, not
waiting for a booth in the Corner
Room. ' The car, a Mercedes-Benz
convertible model, was captured
by the 101st’ Airborne Division
near Berchtesgaden and was ac
companied here' by four of the
Division’s personnel.. The auto
mobile was brought here in con
nection with the Victory Bond
drive.
The royal blue car was lavishly
splashed with chrome and- built |
extremely low. One of its unique
features was the inch-thick wind-1
shield. From the mobs jammed
about it, one would have thought
Hitler himself was driving the 1
car

however, as more than the teach
er of ■ someone else. He is the in
ventor of the'National Computing
Fan ... a device, shaped like a
fan and based on a little known
mathematical formula, which is
used to compute scores of contes
tants in judging contests.

Tri-State College 1905; a bachelor
of arts degree from Tndiaha Uni
versity, .1908; a master of arts
degree from the University of

from the University of Illinois in
1925. He is a member of Phi

University Professors, the Amer
ican Vocational Association; and
