in Mttnormtn It is given to few men to build themselves into the life of an institution in the way that Professor C. Edward Hausknecht built his personality and talents into the life of the State Teachers College at West Chester. Uncle Ned , as he was afiectionately known to thousands of West Chester College students, was graduated from Bloomsburg State Normal School in 1900. Later he served as principal and teacher of music in Hazleton. Continuing his studies, he attended the summer school sessions at Cornell, from which he was graduated as music supervisor in 1912. In 1918 he was made super- visor of music in the Hazleton schools. Three years later he accepted the position as head of the Music Department of our college at West Chester. For twenty-two years Uncle Ned conducted the hymns at the morning chapel services. When he conducted a hymn, it became more than a mere song; he felt the words and the music keenly and shared his feelings with all. The reason that Uncle Ned could truth- fully call us a grand chorus was his intangible power to draw music from any group of people. Perhaps the secret of his success lay in his sincere love of his work. We shall remember Uncle Ned not only for his marvelous conducting but also for the Christmas Carol Service. This service, which he originated shortly after coming to West Chester, is a recurring feature of the Yuletide season. The Vesper Choir, of which he was the director, was another of Uncle Ned ' s absorbing activities. He often referred to this as one of the delights of my lite . Always devoted to the students, he had unlimited faith in them. He was interested in the welfare of all those around him and often turned our thoughts to kindness, sincerity, honor, and respect for our fellow men. His interest and participation in community affairs were unsurpassed. On many occasions he gave of his time and talent to participate In public events, always ready to serve. We do honor to the memory of a man whose devotion to West Chester will be an Inspiration to coming generations as It has been to the hundreds of undergraduates and alumni who knew and loved him. As long as the State Teachers College at West Chester exists, his name will be honored. Fijtei-n
