C. W. Whitten
Charles William "C. W." Whitten (August 6, 1871 – October 23, 1957) was an American educator and athletic administrator. As the chief executive of both the Illinois High School Athletic Association and the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations, he exerted widespread influence on interscholastic athletic policy in the United States from 1922 until his retirement in 1944. In 1930, he led the effort by high school principals to eliminate national high school championships sponsored by universities, and in particular, the National Interscholastic Basketball Tournament held at the University of Chicago. In his memoir, ''Interscholastics'', published in 1950, Whitten wrote about the place of athletics within the framework of secondary education and the issues faced by high school athletic associations.
==Early life==
C. W. Whitten was born on the family farm in Penn Township, near Bradford, Illinois, in 1871. After grade school Whitten took several classes at the Bradford town school, since there were no nearby high schools. He earned his teacher's certificate when he was just sixteen years old and taught in rural schools in Stark County and Marshall County until 1894. Whitten then attended Illinois State Normal University for a year but could not afford to continue. He spent the next three years as principal at the grade school in Varna, Illinois before returning to ISNU, where he completed his degree in 1900.〔''Illinois Interscholastic'', Dec. 1957, p. 49.〕
Upon his graduation, Whitten was hired as assistant professor in science and mathematics at ISNU, moving in 1903 to the University of Illinois to teach physics and solid geometry while also taking advanced courses. In 1906 he gained a position as assistant professor of physics and chemistry at Northern Illinois State Normal School, becoming a full professor in 1909.〔''Illinois Interscholastic'', Dec. 1957, p. 49.〕
