Wisconsin President Glenn Frank Began Without Clear Plan
Glenn Frank, named president of the University of Wisconsin at 38, recalls starting his career with no set goal. The Chicago-born leader, admired for oratory and editorial work at Century Magazine, discussed his path from small-town upbringing to national campus prominence. He noted his varied early roles, from preaching to Chautauqua circuits, and his eventual rise after serving as assistant to Wisconsin’s president and experience with Edward A. Filene. Oliver Martin Shipley also graduates from Johns Hopkins today, with his family attending in Baltimore.
