President Buzzard to Retire on October l

Eastern's second president is shown here as he spoke to assembled
program in his honer on May 1. Old friends share the platform.

Farm Boy to College President;
That's Life Story of R. G. Buzzard

When President Buzzard retires next October, it will be one of a

series of milestones that have marked the life of Eastern's top administra-

tor.

It all began on a farm near Sumner, Ill. On December 14, 1890,

a son named Robert Guy was bom to Peter and Annie Piper Buzzard.

As a boy, Robert Guy attended a rural grade school and Sumner High

School.

His first teaching experience was

Prexy' s First Portrait in a rural school in Lawrence Coun-
ty. After three years of teaching,

he went to Illinois State Normal,

receiving his junior college diplo-

ma in 1914.

His next schooling was at the

University of Chicago, where he re-

ceived both the B. S. and M. S. in

geography. Ouring this time he

also taught at the Harvard School

for Boys.

During the war years, he enlist-

ed as a member of the University

of Chicago Army Ambulance

Corps, but was transferred to the

Signal Corps. Shortly after, he be-

came the director of the Meteoro-

logical Station and the School of

Fire for Field Artillery at Fort Sill,

Okla. He was discharged in 1919

During his retirement, President

the laboratory school. He invites
alumni friends to visit him there.

Among his retirement plans are
a lot of gardening and fishing and
perhaps some travel . He may live

to the question, "If there are

"To me it seems that the mon

of the total compensation receiv
by any teacher who is really ded
cated to her work. And if she do
not actually like teaching she ha
no right to be entrusted with ou

"In addition to the satisfaction

"Furthermore, by going to wor
