Dr. George E. Myers, having
 reached the age of seventy, concluded 24 years of service to the Uni
versity as Professor of Vocational Edu
cation and Guidance at the close of the
 First Semester, when his retirement be
came effective. 


The Board of Regents made Dr.
 Myers Professor Emeritus of Educa
tion and passed a resolution expressing
 appreciation of his work. "Dr. Myers
 . . . has given devoted and skillful serv
ice to the University of Michigan for 
the past twenty-four years," they said, 
"inaugurating and organizing the De
partment of Industrial Education and
 giving this work the benefit of his wise
 leadership, with the result that the Uni
versity has been able to extend its use
fulness widely throughout the State to the benefit of the industries, the work
ers, and this institution."


Dr. Myer was respected and liked 
by his students and colleagues on the 
faculty alike. Although he is retiring 
from active service to the University, 
his work in education will not stop. 
 Dean James B. Edmonson of the
 School of Education said, "It is antici
pated that Dr. Myers will continue to 
be active in the field of education and 
frequent articles, even books, may be 
expected from him in the years to
 come."


A book, Principles and Techniques
 of Vocational Guidance, written by Dr.
 Myers, was published a year ago and 
has since become a text throughout
 the nation.


Dr. Myers was educated at the Uni
versity of Ottawa, the University of 
Chicago, and Clark College. He started 
his teaching career in mathematics. In
 1902, he was appointed Principal of 
Colorado Springs High School and be
