Biographical History

The North Carolina State University Faculty and Staff Collection was created in 1996 to centralize material relating to activities of University employees. This collection currently contains the files of Hilbert A. Fisher and William Norwood Hicks.

Hilbert A. Fisher graduated from the Naval Academy in 1915 and served as an officer in the Navy for several years. He came to North Carolina State College (University) in 1920 as a member of the Mathematics Department, and was made head of the department in 1933, a position he held into the 1950s. Beginning in 1938, Fisher served as a chairman on the atheletic council for the university and later served as vice president for the Southern Athletic Association. Fisher also served four years on the executive board of the National Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education.

William Norwood Hicks was a member of the Class of 1922 at North Carolina State College (University) and earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering. Hicks' most significant contribution to NC State was the development of the Department of Philosophy and Religion, where he served as both a professor and head of the department. Hicks also served as the Assistant Dean of Students, was a member of both the Student Government and the Faculty Senate, acted as an advisor to the Delta Epsilon Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, was a member of the American Society for Engineering Education, and was the varisty wrestling coach at NC State for five years. Hicks was also active member of the West Raleigh Presbyterian Church.
