Gettysburg Seminary, Pa.g and Lexington Seminary, North Carolina. His was truly a life of service throughout. 7 His successors were equally well-iitted for their positions a.nd furthered the interests of the school with utmost care. Conspicuons among them were the Rev. L. F. Kampmann, the tirst to be designated president , the Rt. Rev. Edmund deSchweinitz, S. T. D., a noted ' histori-an of the Church, the Rev. A. Schultze, D. D., L. H. D., an inspiring teacherg the Rt. Rev. J. Taylor Hamilton, D. D., for some years clothed with high executive authority Q in the Church. The present head of the institution is the Rev. W. N. Schwarze, Ph. D., D. D. The professors have been men of high purpose and scholarly attainment. In the board of trustees there have been many men of vigorous personality who have supervised , the pecuniary concerns of the institution with success. 5 ' Since 1807 more than one thousand and seventy-eight students have studied within the walls of the institution. The student body numbered pne hundred and twenty last year. Review of records of the men who have gone out from this school reveals the fact that, in the main, it has been fortunate in attracting young men of serious purpose. A Endowment of the institution was practically begun through the legacy of Godfrey , I-Iaga, at first a tailor of Philadelphia, later engaging in foreign trade. He was a member ' of the Moravian Church of that city. Having no direct heirs, he constitut-ed the Society for Propagatiug the Gospel, a Moravian organization, and the oldest denominaltional mis- sionary association in the country, his residuary legatee. He bequeathed to this organiza- Q 6 tion the sum of twenty thousand dollars for the education of candidates for the ministry. l The endowment fund of the institution now amounts to fS250,000.00, and the special endow- l ments, including real estate and buildings, total S560,000.00. Considerable interest attaches to the home of tl1e institution. Its first home was in Nazareth Hall. In 1838 it was transferred to Bethlehem, finding its home on the north l i side of Broad Street, a little to the west of New Street. In 1851 it was moved back to i Nazareth, its home there being the historic VVhiteheld House. For the brief interval of a little more than one year, 1855-1856, the theological class attended lectures in Philadelphia. In 1858, by order of Synod, the institution was tinally settled in Bethlehem and located in a remodelled building on the south side of Church Street, a little to the east of New Street, theretofore known as Nisky Hill Seminary. Later the erection of the stately group of buildings on College I-Iill was begun. In 1892 Comcnius Hall, a massive structure in Ro- manesque architecture, the Refec-tory. and Resident Professfor's house were occupied. A year later the Helen Stad-iger Borhek Memorial Chapel, the munilicent gift of Mr. and Mrs. Ashton C. Borhek of Bethlehem, was added. In 1908, the Harvey Memorial Library, gen- erous gift of an alumnus, the late Mr. Cennick Harvey, and his brother, Mr. Charles E. W. Harvey, was completed. The alumni association assists in the maintenance of this library which houses 20,000 volumes. In 1912, the united efforts of students and alumni brought to the institution a well-equipped gymnasium. As a memo-rial to the soldiers and sailors of the Moravian Church, who served during the European War, a Science Hall was A erected in 1920. As the increase in the number of students has made apparent the need of further ac- commodations, the hrst unit of a dormitory quadrangle is being erected, the munificen-t gift of tthe Honorable james M. Beck, 'M.r. Harrison Desh, Mr. Eugene A. Rau, Mr. Archi- I bald Johnston, Mr. S. Fahs Smith, Mr. C. Elmer Sm-ith, and Mr. A. C. Pierson. The new 5' structure is being reared on a three-acre plot of ground added to the campus by gift two years ago. Thus preparations are under way for a still greater and still more useful insti- tution of higher learning which will benefit mankind in years to come. ' 7 W W ,F .,.,,......, ..,... --.-ng...
