NEW SHOALS BOSS 15 BORN BUILDER Arthur Ernest Morgan Was Practically Unknown Be- fore Appointment. BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. ‘The name of Arthur Ernest Morgan ‘was not universally known in the United States when it was announced that he had been nominated by President Roose- velt to have charge of the vast Tennes- see Valley development project designed to put two million men to work and to create a permanent national power asset at Muscle Shoals. Mr. Morgan had not had exceptional publicity. The Capital was unfamiliar with his record. But in his own home town, the little city of Yellow Springs, ©Ohio, he was abundantly famous. The people of that community esteem him not only as a good neighbor and friend but a public_benefactor—the man who put electric lights in their homes, the man who put Antioch College on the ‘world map. Natural Builder. ‘The story of his career is that of a tural builder. He was born at Cin- an ti, June 20, 1878, the son of John D. and Anna Frances Wiley Morgan. His father was a surveyor, and in the rsuit of the engagements of his pro- X‘:xlon removed his family to Minnesota, ‘where the boy attended St. Cloud High School. He was a frail lad, not nor- | mally strong. That circumstance, added ; § to domestic impecuniosity, barred him | from going on to educational opportuni- | ties of a loftier character. But he was wife, the former Lucy Middleton Gris- com, two sons, Ernest and Griscom, & daughter, Frances, and an adopted daughter Hilda. Yellow Springs loves them all, and hates to see them go.

A practical education- | B X ist, perhaps his own lack of exceptional cultural advantages furnished him with | the ambition, the impetus, to go to school to life, to make the most of every opportunity furnished by experience. Meantime, he had to accumulate physical capital. Ordered to spend as much time as possible out of doors, he | eompromised with necessity by seeking | employment as a farm laborer and logger. But it was not easy to find work. Few to whom he applied thought him sturdy enough to survive a full day’s toll. “When nature made me,” | he wrote in his diary in 1900, “she started out with a large, noble pattern, went bankrupt and filled in with saw- dust and straw.” But there must have been some good, honest sand some- where in his composition. He demon- strated it day by day as he made his way West from the “Gopher prairie” of | his childhood to Colorado. ! Thought a Trifle “0dd.” Curious anecdotes are told of those hard years of his youth. One tells how he quit his job in a lumber mill because he heard that the planks he was saw- ing out of the logs were intended to be used in building a gambling hall. Doubtless, people thought him a trifle “odd.” There almost certainly was something the matter with a young Zellow whose pastimes were botany and t:m’y rather than drinking and Oven heat control, porcelain grates and burners.

Finu:%y he returned to Minnesota to Join with his father in a small engi- neering practice. As time passed he grew with the responsibilities which | came to him. His health improved, his mind flowered cut. By 1997 he was a supervising engineer in the service of the Federal Government, in charge of reclamation enterprises in the South. Ee had qu for that assignment y drafting the drainage code of Min- esota in 1905. Since that date he done similar work for Arkansas, 4909; Mississippi, 1911; Ohio, 1914; Colorado, 1922, and New Mexico, 1927. He has mestered scores of full size rivers and hundreds of smaller streams.

But he had to be drafted. When the summons reached him, he already had his hands full with the administrative duttes and executive problems of the Esldency of the institution of learning nded at Yellow Springs by Horace Mann in 1853 and reorganized under his own management in 1921—Antioch, “8 nonsectarian, co-educational college with a program which unites in one organized whole a liberal education, E‘p&raflon for a calling or for a major e _interest, and experience in prac- | tieal life under guidance and counsel.” To the ideal so stated he added his own | contribution: “My hope for Antioch is | that through great desire disciplined by | knowledge, and through great com- mitment to fine purpose, its students may be a powerful force for remaking buman life” In the dozen years of his leadership he raised the school from the bogs of failure to the elevated lateaus of success. Its yearly budget 1920 was a pitiful $15000. In 1932 it was $350,600. The gain represented in this comparison of costs was organic and authentic. It was not a mere vicarious growth of buildings and deco- rations. On the contrary, it was a matural development under the stimula- tlon of a pufposeful campaign, planned | by Mr. Morgan and put into effect by | Bimself.

With direct reference to the work he now is to do, Mr. Morgan declares that he has been “thinking about it for ears,” but President Roosevelt “didn’t w I was thinking about it and I didn’t know he was.” The appointment was made through former Gov.
