Enoch Arden Holtwick (January 3, 1881 – March 29, 1972) was an American educator with a long record of actively supporting the temperance movement. He was the Prohibition Party candidate for Illinois State Treasurer in 1936; its candidate for U.S. Senator from Illinois in 1938, 1940, 1942, 1944, 1948 and 1950; its candidate for vice-president of the United States in 1952; and its candidate for president in 1956.
Holtwick was born in Montgomery County, Missouri, and grew up near Rhineland, Missouri, where his family was active in the Free Methodist Church.[1]
He moved to California, taught school, and served as president of Los Angeles Pacific Junior College from 1915 to 1918.[2]
In 1919, he returned to the Midwest, and joined the faculty of Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois, where he taught history and political science until his retirement in 1951.[3] Long after retirement he continued to give an annual lecture to the student body with a survey of current world events and issues.
He died at Fair Oaks Nursing Home in Greenville, Illinois.[4][5]
In Greenville, he is memorialized by the Enoch A. Holtwick Literary Award and Enoch A. Holtwick Hall, a residence building.
