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 Church and Protestant Episcopal Academy. A. B., Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, 1884. Mt. Airy Theological Seminary. Or- dained 1887. Phi Beta Kappa. University of Leipsic, 1887-1888. D. D., Thiel College, 1902. Fourth President of Muhlenberg, 1904. LL. D., University of Pennsylvania, 1914. The expression of Dr. Haas’ personality has imbued Muhlenberg College with that spirit which was made for progress and the establishment of intellectual pres- tige. Muhlenberg is well honored in having Dr. Haas as its intellectual and spiritual leader, as well as its efficient administrator. Our president’s idea of a Greater Muhlenberg is rapidly approaching its cul- mination, caused largely by his arduous labors in the recent Million Dollar Drive. Through Dr. Haas’ efforts Muhlenberg has recently been admitted to the approved list of American universities and has widened and strengthened its influence in its plan of education of its share of American youth. The Authors’ Club of London has recognized the eminence of Dr. Haas as a philosopher and author, by making him a member. He is also a prominent leader of the Lutheran Church. His prolific pen has been the source of practically all the textbooks used in his courses in Comparative Religions of the World and Ethics. { 22 }

GEORGE T. ETTINGER, Ph. D., Litt. D. Dean; Professor of the Latin Language and Literature. Born at Allentown, Pa., November 8, I860. Prepared at Private School and the Academic Department of Muhlenberg College. A. B. (Valedic- torian), Muhlenberg College, 1883. Principal of the Academic Depart- ment, 1884-1892. Ph. D., New York University, 1891. President of the Muhlenberg Alumni Association. Professor of Latin and Pedagogy, 1898-1917. Professor of Latin, 1917. Litt. D., Muhlenberg College, 1920. Our beloved Dean, as he has been so aptly called, is the living emblem for which Muhlenberg stands. He exemplifies and upholds the worthiest traditions of the college. His long association, as a student a half century ago, and later as a professor, gives to his opinion the authority and the prestige that is essential to the paternal guidance of the students. The Dean extends his influence particularly to the underclassmen in the realiza- tion that they are the ones later to determine the student body policies. However, the force of his personality is also felt in the upper classes; for he not only imparts a knowledge of the Latin language, but also precepts for Christian living and conduct. His philosophical advice to students is of a practical nature and enters vitally into one’s character make-up. Dr. Ettinger is also probably one of the most popular laymen in the United Lutheran Church, for he is everywhere in demand as a speaker for the various ban- quets and other social functions. ■{ 23 }
