g teaf erq Coffegc Rev. JOHN A. W. HAAS, D.D., LL.D., President. Professor of Religion and Philosophy. Since Dr. Haas became President of Muhlenberg, many import- ant changes have been brought about for the improvement of the College. Needed buildings have been erected from time to time, giving the College campus an imposing appearance. The courses of study have been greatly increased in number and amplified in their scojie, with the result that they now compare favorably with those in any of the colleges of Pennsylvania. But while directing Muhlenberg in her upward career. Dr. Haas has not neglected any of the less prominent functions of his position, such as the personal relation of professor to student. He frequently mingles unofficially with the students, engaging with them in informal conversation, and exerting an individual influence that is felt and appreciated by the many men of all classes with whom he comes in tact. Moreover, with his eager sympathy for the gridiron rooters, his hearty co-operation with the literary society devotees, and his encouraging support of the student mission workers, he maintains a careful and welcomed oversight of all the student interests. The decade during which Dr. Haas has been at the head of Muhlenberg has been one of pronounced success in every depart- ment and it is the sincere hope of every one that he will long continue to be the maker and preserver of Greater Muhlenberg. ]Iorn at Philadelphia, Pa., August 31, 1862.
