Genera! Administration lll'll.liNliliRG College is a church college of the liberal arts. An institution of the Lutheran Church, it aims to foster Christian principles in students, as well as uphold the ideas of a liberal education. Authority is vested in a Board of Trustees, consisting of thirty-one members. Of these, eighteen are elected by the Ministerium of Pennsylvania, ten by the Board of Trustees, and three by the Alumni Association ofthe College. The Board meets twice a year. A list of present members will be found on page 221. Executive authority for the actual operation of Muhlenberg is vested in the president. Since l957 Dr. Levering Tyson, Litt.D., l.l..D., has served in this position. lt was due principally to his leadership and ellicient administration that Muhlenberg was so successfully guided through the war years and into the present post-war period. A graduate of Gettysburg, Dr. Tyson has been the author of several books and has received many honorary degrees. Through the years Pres- ident Tyson has been tireless in representing the College at various gatherings and conventions of the United Lutheran Church in America and at educational meetings.
