PHESIIIEINIT (le i £dxfCi i lulloAA, President Tulloss is just completing his twenty-second year as “Our Prexy.” In addi- tion to regular arduous duties, he now has the difficult task of directing a college on a war- time basis and directing a campaign for more than a million dollars. Dr. Tulloss received his A.B. degree from Wittenberg and his B.D. from Hamma Di- vinity School. He studied at Johns Hopkins University. Harvard bestowed on him his Ph.D. His D.D. came from Lenoir Rhyne, and Muhlenberg presented him his LL.D. This year, under his direction, the three-year plan of study for the duration of the war was begun. In this way, with summer sessions, a four-year course may be completed in less than three years. He has devoted himself tirelessly to the Wittenberg Campaign. One year ago the college approved the drive. Since then, President Tulloss has traveled unceasingly to pro- mote Wittenberg’s cause, so that she may maintain herself among the best institutions of higher learning in the country. Because of his efforts Wittenberg has been re-accepted by the Association of Ameri- can Universities; Hamma has been accepted by the Association of American Theological Schools. “Our prexy’s” persistence and selflessness in this crisis have won again for Wittenberg. His loyalty and wisdom and far-seeing vision have guided Wittenberg surely and di- rectly along the road to progress. His unfailing interest in the students and his rare un- derstanding of human nature have endeared him to all of us. He is for Wittenberg—and we are for him—Rees Edgar Tulloss—“Our Prexy.” Page Eight
