German Unapp, iS, , ., ' 83. W— ' EKMAN KNAPP was born at Poultney, Rutland Mf County, Vermont, December 28, 1 863. His father was ■ H vice-president of the Troy Conference Academy until 1 866 J W when ill health drove him westward to Iowa. After three ' x years of farm life he was elected principal of the State Col- lege for the Blind and in February, I 880, he assumed the duties of Professor of Agriculture at the Iowa Agricultural College. Herman entered the college in the same year and graduated with honors in ' 83. He became at once deputy treasurer of the college and in the follow- ing year was made Assistant Professor of Agriculture. He had full charge of the department in 1886. In 1887 he became treasurer and land agent of the college. The mere enumeration of the ciuties which have fallen upon his shoulders since then shows how intimately he has been identified with the college in its every interest. Besides being treasurer and registrar he is Lecturer on Accounts, member of the Purchasing Committee, Superintendent of the College Book Store, chairm.an of the College Catalogue Committee, Secretary of the Faculty, member of the Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A., Treasurer of the Building Committee of Alumni Hall and Treasurer of the Alumni Association. Prof Knapp ' s worth has been recognized outside of college circles also. He is a leading citizen of Awes and has been honored with many positions of trust in city affairs. He is a member of the School Board and Library Board of the city of Ames and has recently been chosen captain of the local militia company. He has also been honored with the Presidency of the Sons of the American Revolution. In I 885 Professor Knapp was m.arried to Mary W. McDonald of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, who was also a member of the class of ' 83. They have a beautiful home upon the campus and have a happy family of four children, two boys and two girls. The Knapps are greatly beloved by faculty and students alike and the dedication of this work to Professor Knapp is a well merited honor and a fitting tribute to the worth of a noble manhood.
