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 Episcopal Academy. A.B., University of Pennsylvania, 1884. Mt. Airy Theological Seminary, ordained 1887. Phi Beta Kappa. University of Leipsic, 1887-8S. D.D., Thiel College, 1902. Fourth President of Muhlenberg, 1904. LL.D., Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, 1914. The expression of Dr. Haa .’s personality has imbued Muhlenberg College with that spirit which was made for progress and the establishment of intellectual prestige. Muhlenberg is proud of the honor in having Dr. Haas as its intellectual and spiritual leader as well as its efficient administ rator. Our president ' s idea of a Greater Muhlenberg is rapidly approaching its culmination, caused largely by his arduous labors in the recent Million Dollar Drive. Through Dr. Haas’s efforts Muhlenberg has last year been admitted to the Approved list of American Univer- sities and has widened and strengthened its influence in its plan of the education of its share of American youth. The Author’s Club of London has recognized Dr. Haas’s eminence as a philosopher and author by making him a member. He is also a prominent leader of the Lutheran Church. His facile and prolific pen has recently given birth to a new book. Dr. Haas, through his vivid repartie in personal conversation with “the boys,’’ has a deep sympathetic understanding of student difficulties on the campus. He has won the con- fidence and affection of the student body. Recalcitrant students are swept into willing sub- mission bv his persuasive admonitions in the Chapel. Dr. Haas’s intimate association with the men of Muhlenberg has assisted in the formation of that morale so essential to the smooth working of an institution. May Dr. Haas remain with us long and continue to give renown to Muhlenberg College. Page Eighteen
