| A leader in all advanced movements and a man of strong personality is Superintendent Van Cleve. Charles Liggett Van Cleve was born at Ripley, Ohio, Feb. 27, 1858. He prepared for college at the High School of Wilmington, Ohio, graduating from that institution in 1876. In September, 1876 he entered the Sophomore class at the Ohio Wesleyan University graduating with the degree of A.B. in 1879 and receiving the degree of A.M. in 1882. He was a post graduate student in Clark University during the summer of 1901 and 1903. In 1879 he began his teaching career as principal of the schools of Spring Valley, Ohio. He taught in Findlay, Ohio, District No. 9, from 1880 to 1882. From 1882 to 1884, he taught at South Charleston, Ohio. As superintendent, he directed the educational policy of Troy, Ohio from 1884 to 1902. Since 1902 he has been the Superintendent of the Mansfield School. Patrons, teachers and pupils are convinced that he is the man for the place, and that he will work unceasingly for their interests. As a recognition of his worth and standing as a schoolman, he has been elected president of the Ohio State Teachers' Association for 1907. For many years he has had a wide experience as an acceptable institute lecturer. Work is the law of life with him as with every successful man. Much more could and should be said of Superintendent Van Cleve, but when interviewed upon the matter, he asked that only the bare facts appear which are used in the sketch. | ||||
