1913 H. Orton Wiley's first of three terms as president begins.

A new and significant figure whose life was to prove of inestimable value to the institution now entered the scene. This was H. Orton Wiley, a young man who had already shown his ability and had caught the attention of Dr. Bresee, who was a good judge of men...

Perhaps no one realized that here was a man of destiny, who would later in his three terms as president, mold the college as no other one had done.
