Excerpt from Index, 1934 Though we are privileged to know Dr. Baker as an executive primarily, it is as an authority in the field of Forestry that he first attained recognition. Born in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, paternal descendant of Capt. Remember Baker of the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont, he early developed a fond ness for the out-of-doors which quite naturally influenced him toward his first career - forestry. After receiving his Bachelor's degree at Michigan State College in and in 1904 his Master of Forestry from Yale Uni versity, he became Professor of Forestry at Iowa State College. From 1907 I912 he held a similar professorship at Pennsylvania State College. To this work he added ten years of practical experience as a member of the United States Forestry Service. Upon receiving the degree of Doctor of Economics at the University of Munich in 1910, he became Dean and Professor of Silviculture of the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse. He resigned this posi_tion.in 1920 to begin a career in business as Executive Secretary of the American Paper and Pulp Association. Eight years later we find him in the employ of the United States Chamber of Commerce. In 1929 he returned to the Deanship of the Forestry School at Syracuse University where he remained until he assumed the Presidency of Massachusetts State College. Although President Baker has served the college only one year, his first annual report to the trustees shows a splendid record of achievement. Funds have been secured for much needed physical improvements on the campus from the C. W. A. And the P. W. A: as well for the building of a new library and men's dormitory. Firmly believing that the college and its aims should be better understoodoby the citizens of the state, he inaugurated a publicity program which should achieve this end. Through frequent addresses, togroups, radio talks, and personal correspondence, he has clarified the work and opportunities of the college. Another acute need was met when he organized a placement service for the graduates and needy students of the college. These accomplishments were the products of his unselfish devotion to and genuine faith in the growth of the college.
