	Lewis, William Mather Title Lewis, William Mather Subject Photographs College presidents Description 1927-1945: The administration of Dr. William Mather Lewis began with an ambitious building program, great promise and plans for a fund raising campaign as part of the centennial celebration of 1932. The campaign was abandoned because of the Depression. A turning point in academics took place when the classical language requirement was dropped. The Depression dealt an almost fatal blow to the college. Both funds and students declined. The faculty accepted a cut in salary. President Lewis presided gracefully over the disintegration and near collapse of the college. The wartime military programs saved it. President Lewis retired at the war's end.
