Dedication Dr, Howard Shimer Seip, A.B., A.M., D.D.S. Junior Class of 1927 is very proud to dedicate this Ciarla to a most M CA worthy, honorable and loyal supporter of Muhlenberg College. Not only J has he endeared himself to the hearts of those who have the “Muhlenberg Spirit” within them, but also to many people of Allentown and we may well say to not a few people of far distant cities. Dr. Howard Shimer Seip, the son of Reverend Theodore Lorenzo Seip, D.D., the third president of Muhlenberg College, and his wife Emma E. Seip, was horn at Bath, Pennsylvania, September 17. 186b. He received his early education in the Academic Department of Muhlenberg College. His education in later youth was received at Muhlenberg College, from which he graduated June 25, 1885. He di- vided the Sophomore botanical prize with D. E. Brunner. He was a member of the Euterpean Literary Society. Dr. Seip also took a course in the Dental Department of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and graduated in 1887 with the degree of D. D. S. Dr. Seip opened an office in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and in the course of a few years succeeded in establishing an excellent practice. He married Anna E. Anewalt of Allentown, Pennsylvania, April 15, 1890. To this union two children were born, namely, Theodore Anewalt Seip and Hilda Seip, now Mrs. Robert W. Trexler. The son, Theodore A. Seip, was a member of the class of 1918 in Muhlenberg until Christ- mas of his senior year, when ill health compelled him to relinquish his work. He had inherited his father’s and grandfather’s deep interest in Muhlenberg College in full measure and up to his last hour, Muhlenberg was always his favorite topic of con- versation. He died October 24, 1925, age 29 years. Dr. Seip was president of the Alumni Association of the Dental Department of the University of Pennsylvania, 1889-90. He read a paper entitled “Dental Associa- tion” before the Alumni Association of the University. He was elected president of the Susquehanna Dental Association May 1892. The other associations and connections which name Dr. Seip as their member reveal the high esteem in which he is held by a host of friends, for whom he in turn holds the same regard. Dr. Seip is a member of the Lehigh Valle) ' Dental Society ; the Pennsylvania State Dental Society and served as its president in 1914; the American Dental Association; the Allentown Dental Society, and an associate member of the First District Society of New York City. He is also a member of the Stomatological Club of Philadelphia, a member of the Art Club of Philadelphia, a member of the Livingston Club, Allentown, and a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church. Dr. Seip is best known by the students of Muhlenberg College as the president of the Athletic Association, which position he has held since its organization. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the same institution continually from the year 1904 until now. Therefore, the Class of 1927 of Muhlenberg College, deems it fitting and proper that this book be dedicated to such a true and loyal son of its Alma Mater.
