Autorenporträt
Hollis Godfrey was an author, teacher, engineering consultant, and president of the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry. While employed at the School of Practical Arts in Boston, Godfrey published several literary works. These works include the "ingenious scientific novel" The Man Who Ended War in 1908 [quoted from review in "The Week's News of Boston Books", The New York Times. October 24, 1908]. Godfrey was educated at Tufts College and Harvard University, receiving degrees in Engineering. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1889. After graduation Godfrey stayed on to teach at his Alma Mater, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1906 to 1910 Godfrey was the administrator of scientific studies at the Girl's High School of Practical Arts in Boston. In 1916, during his tenure at Drexel, Godfrey was selected by President Woodrow Wilson to be an advisory member for the Council of National Defense, an organization formed to coordinate resources and industry for national security. Godfrey served in that capacity, advising in the area of engineering and education, from 1916 to 1918. In his last year at Drexel, he established the Council of Management Education in Boston in March 1920. Following his resignation at Drexel, he became chairman of the council. He later went on to be president of the Engineering-Economics Foundation. He died on January 17, 1936.
