JOHN HANNO DBII BR. John Hanno Deiler, one of the most noted members of our Faculty, was bom August 8, 1849, in Altoetting, Germany. He received his early education in the public schools of his native town, but his thorough musical education was given him by his father, a Bavarian court musician, and by the composer Antoine Mueller. Owing to his great talent, he won a scholarship at the Royal Bavarian Studien and Musik Seminar. In 1866 he entered the Royal Normal College at Munich, and was graduated two years afterward with high honors. During the following years he held Government ap- pointments in several schools, finally becoming connected with the Model School at Munich. After this he attended lectures in the University of Munich, and pursued advanced studies in various branches of the Royal Polytechnic Institute. In 1871 he received a call as principal of a German school in New Orleans, and in 1879 he was appointed Professor of German at Tulane and later at Newcomb also. Since then he has become widely known as a lecturer on German hterature and history, while his Parsifal lectures last year drew enormous audi- ences of the most cultivated people of New Orleans. Professor Deiler has been prominent in many other direc- tions. He is the President of the Deutsche Gesellschaft, a society for attracting and protecting German immigrants, and was the originator of the German Archives for the history of the Germans in the South. In 1882 he founded the New Orleans Quartette Club, of which he is still President and Musical Director. He has been notable in several Sangerfeste of the North American Union, and as the representative of the National Union he addressed a huge crowd of singers at Vienna in 1890 and another gath- ering at Stuttgart in 1896. This same year he was made President of the North American Sangerbund. Locally, Professor Deiler is well known as the President of the New Orleans German Gazette and as a member of the Canal Street Commission. As a reward for valuable services rendered, the German peo- ple of the United States, and for distinguished hterary merit, he has received the Order of Knighthood in the Order of the Crown from the German Emperor. He has contributed to the leading periodicals of this country, in one of which he figured prominently last year in an article on the most noted Germans in America. The latest honor to be conferred on Professor Deiler is the appointment to succeed the late Carl Schurz as judge to award the prizes from the Leipp Memorial Fund offered by the University of Chicago. Combining, as he does, these high intellectual attainments with a most lovable personality, it is no wonder that both students and fellow-professors look forward with the deepest regret to the time when Professor ' s Deiler ' s resignation will go into effect. He may rest assured, therefore, that just as long at Tulane shall endure will his name be honored and loved throughout its bounds. 10
