From the Santa Cruz Evening News of January 14, 1925:
Dr. Edwin R Snyder was appointed in July 1923 President of San Jose State College (then known as San Jose State Teachers College), after a quarter century of able service in responsible educational positions in various parts of the State of California. At the time of his appointment, Dr. Snyder was State Commissioner of Vocational Education, an office he had held for ten years. Prior to that, he had served as head of the industrial and educational departments of the San Jose State Normal School (the prior name of San Jose State College), Vice President of the Fresno Normal School, Assistant Superintendent of the city schools of Fresno, and Superintendent of the city schools of Santa Barbara.
Dr. Snyder passed away at his home in San Jose on Tuesday, January 13, 1925, following an illness that kept him confined to his home since late November of 1924.
1925 Dedication to Dr. Edwin Snyder:
This 1925 La Torre we dedicate
to our beloved President, the late
Edwin R. Snyder. His life was one of
unselfish devotion to the cause of
education.
We find many willing to give their
time to the cause, but few who will
give their life. President Snyder was
a great thinker, an inspiring teacher,
an upright man. In losing him we not
only lost our President, we lost a true
loyal friend who believed in us.
--Editor of 1925 La Torre
An Epitaph
So brief a time he dwelt with us it seemed
When he had gone, as though we had but
dreamed.
A dream of him--a mist obscures our sight,
And waking, find Earth's radiance veiled in
night.
---E.C. Williams
