and he had served from 1952 until 1966 as Superintendent
of Schools in Allegany County.
In his service as Superintendent of Schools for
Allegany County, Ralph Webster made an outstanding record
during a period of considerable stress. Expansion of
facilities, provision of new programs, the founding of the
first community college in Western Maryland, and strengthen
ing of faculty and administrative standards marked his
administration. His services were not limited to those
required of his vocation, and Mr. Webster made many other
contributions to his community, including service as chair-
man of Cumberland's Civil Service Commission, as an
advisor to the Naval Reserve, and as an officer or member
of many civic, church and fraternal groups. He was a
53rd Degree Mason, an honor which comes to few men.
Thousands of citizens of Maryland are better
men and women because of the devotion of Ralph R. Webster
to the cause of education and to the betterment of the
area in which he lived. More than forty years of daily
work among our young people have left with them a lasting
imprint of this fine man. Quiet and warm in personality, |
