From the internet: A graduate of M.I.T., he was appointed by the Board of Directors in 1910 as the first principal of Wentworth Institute and overseer of the original campus construction. He served until 1923. He has been called ?the father of technical institutes in this country.?
?Williston began his professional career in 1890 with the Union Pacific Railroad. He then served on the M.I.T. and Ohio State University faculties, was a member of the commission to establish the Carnegie Technical Schools in Pittsburgh, and was head of the Pratt Institute?s School of Science and Technology for twelve years.
?He was a United States delegate to the World Federation of Education at Scotland in 1925 and a member of the World Conference on Adult Education at Copenhagen the following year. He is the author of ?Beyond the Horizon of Science?.
?Throughout his life, Williston remained devoted to students seeking a non-collegiate institutional education. In 1952, he was the recipient of the James H. McGraw Award for outstanding contributions to technical education. After his death his will established a trust administered by the Boston Foundation, from which Wentworth has received funds in support of its educational programs.?
