George Washington Ward (1867–1932) was the third principal of Maryland State Normal School (now Towson University).
Ward was a product of Maryland education, unlike his predecessors, having attended a one-room school in
Western Maryland College and his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University
. In 1905, Ward was appointed Principal of MSNS. He served for 4 years and then resigned to engage in the brokerage business. Important developments during his tenure were broadening of the teacher training program, establishment of a departmental structure for the faculty, and the hiring of a librarian to organize and expand the library.
