Harold Crothers, class of 1910 and long-time engineering professor, was named acting president on three separate occasions, although he was never officially named president. He served as dean of the College of Engineering from 1925-1955. His name deserves a mention here, however, as his work in this capacity helped take the college through a difficult decade.
