Tyson’s Message To the Students of Muhlenberg College:— ' The Editor-in-chief of the 1938 Ciarla has ashed me to send to you a message for publication in your Annual. I am happy to comply with his request even though I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting many of you personally. As a newcomer to the campus and therefore practically a Fresh- man, naturally I am very curious about all things connected with the College. I have been able to satisfy some o f that curiosity and can say frankly that already it is easy to share the enthusiasm for Muhlenberg which everyone connected with the institution seems to have in great abundance. So it should not be difficult to assume my new duties as president next summer in the happy expectation that the fine traditions built so solidly by my predecessors, — Muhlenberg, Sadtler, Seip and Haas—can be maintained successfully and strength- ened materially in the years ahead. It is my earnest hope that all of us, students, faculty, alumni and trustees, will unite in a common purpose to bring to realization the dreams of those who have planned with such unselfish vision the future of Muhlenberg. In this spirit I greet all of you. I am sorry I shall not have the privilege of knowing the members o f the Class of 1937 during their student days, but I hope they, and all other alumni, will come back to their Alma Mater regularly and frequently. I shall look forward with a great deal of pleasure to meeting the student body when Col- lege opens in the fall. Cordially yours. Levering Tyson

Greetings to Students and Alumni: MuKIenberg College has accomplished a great deal in the past; but there is still much to he done. This year, between the retirement of Doctor Haas from the presidency and the coming of Doctor Tyson, who will take charge of the institution in July, has been successful and happy. Under the new administration we look forward to a period of increased service and influence. The denominational college still has a useful task to perform in the sphere of higher education, if it understands its aims and makes progress toward their achievement, and if it merits and re- tains the interest and support of its denomination, its alumni, and its friends. 1 know that our new president will have the loyalty of students and alumni, as well as faculty. When he comes, let us give him every reason to be proud of the institution, whose presidency he has accepted. Robert C. Horn, Dean and Acting President T tkai
