THE DEANS' MESSAGES Greetings to Students: UHLENBERG College recommends seri- ous-minded students, who cultivate good habits of study and develop a love of study. Application, concentration, persistence, faithfulness, and responsibility are qualities well worth cultivating. A student has a social obligation also, and the social virtues need development. The student must learn to live with others and to contribute something to the general welfare. Economic and social problems are confronting us at every turng the students should become familiar with these and if possible learn how to solve them. More than ever today the world needs men who can solve its problems. Nor do we neglect the body, for the develop- ment and maintenance of a sound body is indis- pensable for the working of the active mind. Health education is of all importance, and a well developed program of sports for everybody is attractive. The higher values of living also are stressed. Good and useful living is the ideal. High ideals of truthfulness, sincerity, and honor are incul- cated. We are a Christian institution, we believe in Christianity, and we lay stress upon the study of the Bible and the ethics of Jesus Christ. We want to develop scholars and students: helpful and efficientg willing to serve, imbued with high principles and ideals, men who are Christians and gentlemen. ROBERT C. HORN, 'OO Dean ' Sixty Years Alter N the fall of l876 the last Freshman Class at Muhlenberg College to be greeted by the first President of the College, Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, included a boy of fifteen who had already had three years of daily contact with the old building at Fourth and Walnut streets as a student in the preparatory department. From that day to my retirement a year ago, my life has been spent in and about Muhlenberg College, as stu- dent and teacher in both preparatory school and college. Ten years after my matriculation, Alfred Tennyson wrote Locksley Hall Sixty Years After, and so today, Sixty Years After, l recall the stately dignity of Dr. Muhlenberg, the fer- vent and spontaneous chapel prayers of President Benjamin Sadtler, the expository brilliance of Matthias Richards in what George Birkbeck Hill has called the shining fields of English Litera- ture, the precise mathematical mind of Davis Garber, the classical scholarship of Theodore L. Seip, the saintly piety and kindly mien of Wil- liam Wackernagel, and the long and loyal service to Church and College of John A. Bauman. But memory brings not only the men, but their messages: the culture of those courses which one wanted, with the values of the courses which could not be avoided, for the educational here- sies of young Charles Eliot up at Harvard had not yet permeated the Lehigh Valley. Today, then, l can wish for my Muhlenberg friends of this generation no happier life, no richer reward, than the days l have enjoyed with those men of yesteryear and with Dr. Haas, Dr. Mueller, Professor Fasig and my other colleagues who are with you now.
