Rev. John A. W. Haas, D.D., LL.D. President; Professor of Religion and Philosophy Born at Philadelphia, Pa., August 31, 1862. Prepared at Parochial School Zion’s Church and Protestant Academy. A.B., University of Pennsylvania, 1884 ; A.M., and B.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1887 ; Phi Beta Kappa ; Graduate Work, University of Leipsic, 1887-88 ; D.D., Thiel College, 1902 ; LL.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1914 ; LL.D., Augustana College, 1917 ; LL.D., Gettysburg College, 1922. Member of Author’s Club, London. Author of Freedom and Christian Conduct, etc. This year is notable for Doctor Haas in two ways; it is the twentieth year of his presidency at Muhlenberg, and also marks the successful completion of the Million- Dollar Campaign for a Greater Muhlenberg, toward which our President has been turning all his energies for a number of months. It was due largely to his foresight that the campaign was made possible and was brought to a successful conclusion. Within the next year we hope to see the beginnings of that Greater Muhlenberg for which he has been working so long. And there is still another event which helps to make this year a memor able one for the Doctor. Last Fall he was honored with membership in the Authors’ Club of London, among whose ranks are found many other notables. Muhlenberg College may feel justly proud of this recognition of Dr. Haas’ eminence. One of the best privileges the student can enjoy is to meet the Doctor in the Library when he is discoursing informally on some new topic, or for that matter, an old one; or to hear him read aloud from some new book such as the “Goslings.” It is then that one learns to know the real Doctor Haas, the student’s friend.

George T. Ettinger, Ph.D., Litt.D. Dean; Professor of the Latin Language at Literature Born at Allentown, Pa., November 8, 1860. Prepared at Private School and the Academic Department of Muhlenberg College. A.B. (Valedictorian) Muhlenberg College, 1880. Phi Gamma Delta. A.M., Muhlenberg College, 1883. Principal of the Academic Department, 1884-92. Ph.D., New York University, 1891. President of the Muhlenberg Alumni Association. Professor of Latin and Pedagogy, 1892-1917. Professor of Latin since 1917. Litt.D., Muhlenberg College, 1920. A short time ago a visitor at the College asked: “Who is that dignified gentleman walking over to the baseball field,” and we replied, “That is our Dean.” The Dean is usually to be found on the spot whenever anything is going on, whether it is a football game or a class. And he has quite a few classes. This year, while Dr. Haas was away in the interests of the Greater Muhlenberg Campaign Dr. Ettinger took the Senior Class in Ethics, and from the current remarks the Seniors seem to have enjoyed the experience. Besides his regular Freshman and Sophomore Latin classes the Dean also has classes this year in Classical and Ecclesiastical Latin: his courses seem to be gaining in popularity, and we do not wonder at this, as they are at once instructive and enjoyable. Rev. William Wackernagel, D.D., LL.D. Professor of Modern Language and Literature, Emeritus Born at Basel-on-the-Rhine, Switzerland, September 25, 1838. Missionary in the Holy Land eleven years. Or- dained a minister of the Lutheran Church, 1880. D.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1883. Acting President of Muhlenberg College, 1903-04. LL.D. Muhlenberg Col- lege, 1918. Since he was made Professor Emeritus in 1921 Doctor Wackernagel has been doing liter- ary work, principally translation, and we frequently see his articles in the LUTHERAN and in other magazines. He is still in touch with events at the College, and is usually present at Commencement and on Opening Day, and on other special occasions. We re- member Doctor Wackernagel principally from our contact with him when we annually pre- sent him with his Thanksgiving turkey, at which time he responds in a great many of the languages in which the bird has been pre- sented; on one such occasion twenty-one languages were spoken, and there were few which the doctor did not understand. We take this opportunity to extend our hearty greetings to Doctor Wackernagel, and wish him well for many years to come. Page Twenty-six
