Glenn Frank
Glenn Frank (October 1, 1887 – September 15, 1940) was a president of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and ''The Century Magazine''s editor-in-chief. He graduated from Northwestern University in 1912 and became Edward Filene's personal assistant, where he wrote two books on the side. He joined ''The Century Magazine'' as an associate editor and became its editor-in-chief in three years, which gave his views on education a wide audience. He was tapped to the University of Wisconsin's presidency in 1925, where he introduced the Experimental College before being ousted in 1937. Frank became involved in Wisconsin politics and ran for the state's United States Senate seat, but died with his son in a car accident two days before the Republican Party primary.
== Early life and career ==
Glenn Frank was born on October 1, 1887〔 in Queen City, Missouri. He joined the Methodist Church when he was 10, and became an evangelical when 12. Passionate for oratory and religion, Frank became a circuit rider and traveled with Billy Sunday for one summer in Iowa as a teenager. He talked his way into classes at Northwestern University in 1909 despite a lack of formal education, though he previously attended Kirksville State Teachers College in Kirksville, Missouri.〔 In college, Frank joined the yearbook and literary magazine (later becoming the latter's editor), acted and debated, and won two oratory contests. He gave speeches in the Evanston area to fund his education, and toured as a Chautauqua teacher in the summers. Walter Dill Scott called him the most brilliant undergraduate mind he had met. Frank earned his bachelor's at Northwestern in 1912〔 and won senior superlatives for contribution to school community and good looks.
Northwestern President Abram W. Harris offered Frank a new alumni secretary position, which he accepted. He continued to give speeches while on the road for the next three years recruiting at high schools, organizing alumni, and building an endowment. He earned enough money to build a house for his parents in Missouri. He later became Edward Filene's personal assistant. During these years, Frank wrote ''The Stakes of War'' (1916) and ''The Politics of Industry'' (1917) on the side.
He became an associate editor at ''The Century Magazine'' in 1918 and became its editor-in-chief in 1921. He wrote a monthly column on social issues that brought national renown to his thoughts on education reform. In 1925, he became the president of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
