Excerpt from Reveille, 1906 Professor Lanahan was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on April lgth, 1873. His boyhood and youth were spent in Baltimore County. His early education was received in the public schools of Baltimore and Baltimore County. He entered the Baltimore City College in the Fall of 1888, graduating from this institution in June, 1893, winning, upon graduation, one of the first grade Peabody prizes. He then entered Johns Hopkins University in October, 1893, winning the Hopkins scholarship on entrance, and an honorary Hopkins scholarship in each of the two succeeding years. While at Johns Hopkins, Professor Lanahan pursued the mathematical-physical Course, graduating with degree of Bachelor of Arts in June, 1896. Upon graduation, Professor Lanahan was awarded the University Scholarship for the next year, but did not accept it. He entered the service of the Engineering Department of the Seaboard Air Line as assistant engineer, with headquarters at Portsmouth, Virginia. In 1898, Professor Lanahan came to the Maryland Agricultural College. He spent the Summer of 1900 in higher studies in his chosen work at the University of Chicago, taking up further post graduate work at Cornell University in 1902. He now occupies the position of Professor of Physics and Civil Engineering in the Faculty of this College, and the sincere hope of the Class of 1906 is that our Alma Mater may retain him as one of her instructors for many years to come.
