DEPARTMENT OF RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY Dr. Robert R. Fritsch, who joined the Muhlenberg Faculty in 1907, headed this department and taught in it for many years. In spite of extensive outside speaking engagements, Dr. Fritsch continued to teach at the College until his retirement in June of 1945. At this time Dr. Fritsch was named Professor Emeritus of English Bible. Dr. john W. Doberstein, the Chaplain of the College, became Professor of Religion in 1943. A graduate of Thiel College and the Mt. Airy Seminary, Dr. Doberstein was awarded his doctor's degree in 1943 by Muhlenberg. In addition to his daily talks in Chapel and his literary work, Dr. Doberstein taught several sections of Freshman Bible. After having taught much of the Bible and philosophy at Muhlenberg for the past three years, Dr. Russell W. Stine was made professor in June, 1946. Dr. Stine, Class of '22, received his doctor's degree at the University of Pennsylvania. The most recent additions to the department are Dr. Edward Horn, a missionary to japan and former head of the Lutheran Seminary in Japan, who has been named professor, and the Rev. Matthew I. Wiencke, appointed instructor in Bible. CLASSICAL LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT Latin and Greek at Muhlenberg were taught by Dean Robert C. Horn, Dr. Robert Fritsch, and Dr. Edward Fluck. Dr. Horn headed the department. He and Dr. Fritsch taught Greek, while Dr. Fluck, '30, who did his graduate work at Johns Hopkins and was a fellow at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Greece, took charge of most of the instruction in Latin. Because of war-time de- emphasis on Classical subjects, all three men were frequently called upon to help out in other departments. Many times advanced classes in the two languages dwindled to two and three students. Top, Department of Religion and Philosophy. From left, Dr. Edward T. Horn, Dr. Russell W. Stine, Dr. John XV.
