L. MUSSELMAN V. G. MUSSELMAN T. E. MUSSELMAN President VICE!-P1'eS1deI1t Secretary THE MUSSELMAN BRCTHERS When D. L. Musselman, Sr. started the Gem City Business College in 1870 he had a high ideal in mind and built his institution upon honesty and fair dealing. Because of the need of an institution of this sort in the United States, together with the fact that our students received the proper type of training with efficient placement service upon the completion of their work, the institution grew rapidly until it soon dominated the commercial training field of the Mississippi Valley. Its influence reached out beyond the United States and extended into India, Cuba, Mexico, and other countries. For the past thirty years this institution has been maintained by the three sons, and today is one of the best known commercial schools in America. In this booklet we are trying to give some idea of the activities of the student body together with the work which is being done by this institution. It 1S so easy for anyone to paint a rosy picture and yet so difficult to portray on paper actual facts as they exist, that anyone wishing a correct perspective of this great institution and the work that it is doing, should either get in touch with former Gem City students, or better yet, should plan to drive to Quincy and see the institution and. talk. to the members of the student body and interview the various merchants of the community. These people know the school and the work that it does. D. L. Musselman is the president of the in- stitution. He has had a long and successful civic and business career. During the War, he was chair- man of the Adams County Red Cross, and, at the present time, he is treasurer of the.Woodland Home for Orphans and F riendless. His past activities include nine years as member of the Quincy Board of Education, vice-president of the Chaddock Boys School, trustee of Illinois Wesleyan University of Bloomington, president of the National Commercial Teachers' Association, vice-president of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, and for over twenty years a director of a large national bank. V. G. Musselman, the vice-president and treasurer of the institution for a great many years has been secretary of the Board of Trustees of Blessing Hospital, of this city. He is also president of the Woodland 'Cemetery Association, a cemetery donat- ed to the city of Quincy by Governor Wood, of Illinois, in 1831. He is secretary and treasurer of the Quincy Board of Underwriters, and a director in the Insurance Federation of Illinois. In addition to this, he is a director of the Dads Association, of the University of Illinois. He was formerly the secretary of the Board of Directors of Quincy. Y. M. C. A., and an officer and director of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, together with many other civic activities. During the War, he had charge of the business district in the Liberty Loan and other War Drives. Dr. T. E. Musselman, the secretary of the in- stitution, is now a member of the Board of Trustees of the Anna Brown Home for the Aged, a councillor of the Inland Bird Banding Association, and, for a number of years, was secretary of the Boy Scouts Council. He received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees from the University of Illinois, and, in 1934, was honored with his Doctor of Science degree by Carthage College. In 1919, together with Dr. Bagley of Columbia University, and Dr. Kelly, Professor of Psychology at Stanford University, he founded the first chapter of the national honorary educational fraternity, Kappa Delta Pi. He was honored by being its first presi- dent. He is a well-known platform lecturer, his specialty being ornithology and nature subjects. He is listed in Who's Who in America . Page 'Three
