n Meafeerq offe qe Harold K. Marks Instructor in Music There are many supporters of Muhlenberg who well remember the great and inspiring musical work of Dr. C. A. Marks, whose labors of sever- al years at College were suddenly cut off by his death in 1912. To all of these the appointment of Mr. Harold D. Marks, son of the former, as instruc- tor of music at Muhlenberg, must come with special satisfaction. The short time that he has been at College he has proved that the spirit of his father breathes in him. His influence has been exerted on the side of refined and classic music, and in accordance with the highest and truest principles of his art. Mr. Alarks has done much to place the course in music in the high rank that the other fine arts courses maintain. The glee club is also a product of his effort, and the glowing success of that organization in the current year is based on his careful and helpful supervision. It is hoped that the depart- ment of music may continue to grow under his guidance. Born at Emaus, Pa., May 12, 1886. At an early age came to Allentown. Entered Allentown High School.

Albert C. H. Fasig, M.S. Instructor in Chemistry and Physics. At the time of writing it is but little more than a year since Mr. Fasig came back to his Alma Mater as an instructor in the Science Department. Since that time his work has already been marked by distinct achievements. In the first place, the laboratory system has been perfected with his aid. All the work done by students is thoroughly checked and accredited, new and up-to-date equipment is fur- nished, and personal direction is given to each student. These things were not possible with but one Professor in charge. But Mr. Fasig has not confined himself to the work of instruc- tion. In his college days he was an effective football player, and now has already won a reputation for sensible, invigorating football speeches. As a gridiron veteran, he exerts a decided influence in Muhlenberg athletic circles. Moreover he delivered a lecture to the class in Economics on milk and meat inspection as he had found it in Beading, thus supplementing the regular lectures in that branch. His activities are increasing in breadth and scope, and Muhlenberg realizes that she has been favored in having Mr. Fasig for an in- structor. Born at Reading, Pa., September 18, 1888.
