Illinois Wesleyan University Bulletin ALUMNI ISSUE MARCH, 1952 Carl Neumeyer New Director Of Wesleyan Music School Carl M. Neumeyer has been ap-pointed new director of the school of music. He comes to Wesleyan from Southern Methodist university where he is assistant dean. He is a graduate of Murray Teachers col-lege of Kentucky, has a master's degree from Wesleyan, has studied at Columbia and the University of Texas and has a doctor's degree in music from the University of In-diana. He has also had a wide teaching experience. Jordans Die in Accident Doctor A. P. Jordan died in a Nashville, Tenn., hospital as the re-sult of an automobile accident which occurred March 7 in which Mrs. Jordan was killed instantly. Dr. and Mrs. Jordan were returning from a two-week vacation in Flori-da. Dr. Jordan was a Wesleyan trustee and was at the time of his death pastor of the St. James Meth-odist church in Danville. Previously he was superintendent of the Bloomington district of the Illinois conference. Both of Dr. Jordan's daughters are alumni of Wesleyan, Betty (Mrs. Robert Ficklin '43), and Helen (Mrs. George Wood '48). A son, Rev. George Jordan, of Stock-ton, Wis., also survives. Alumni Day to Be 77th Reunion for Dr. Van Pelt Alumni Day, June 7, will mark the 77th anniversary of one of Wes-leyan's distinguished alumni, Dr. Samuel Van Pelt, of Los Angeles, who graduated from Illinois Wes-leyan in June, 1875. He was one of 16 men who received degrees at that time, and the 161st graduate of the school. In 1875 the old law school graduated its first class, of which there were seven members. Mr. Van Pelt is Wesleyan's oldest living alumnus in the number of years since his graduation. One oth-er alumnus, Mr. Sylvester Melvin, is older than Dr. Van Pelt, but he did not graduate until 1878. He has passed his 100th birthday. Fred Muhl Illinois Wesleyan observed Found-ers' day in part by conferring on Fred Muhl the degree of Doctor of Science and upon Professor W. W. Wallis, the degree of Doctor of Laws. This was a memorable occa-sion, since seldom in its history has Wesleyan conferred degrees on its own faculty members. Dr. Muhl has been a member of the faculty since 1910. Previously he had coached Wesleyan's football teams. After 1910 he was in charge of all athletics as well as carrying on his teaching of mathematics. Through the years he has turned out championship teams not only in football, in which he himself excelled at the University of Illi-nois, but in basketball, baseball, and track. In the classroom he was an interesting teacher, his words of wisdom left an impression on many alumni. He is known to alum-ni as a gifted public speaker. His talks in old Amie Chapel were al-w ays listened to attentively. No one knows more about Wesleyan than "Fred." Dr. Wallis, who has occupied the chair of history at Wesleyan since 1921, and has been a member of the faculty since 1918, holds a special W. W. Wallis place in the affections of alumni who were in his classes. His lectures have always been popular, and his classes crowded. Over the years a number of students have taken, if possible, every course he offered, because of regard for him and be-cause of his interesting lectures. He served as dean of the college of liberal arts for 16 years and is still "Dean" Wallis to most alumni. Preceding the honoring of the two professors, the Collegiate choir, under the direction of Lloyd Pfautsch, sang two numbers. The convocation address was given by Dr. Walter Havighurst, professor of English at Miami university in Ox-ford, Ohio. He gave a fine address on the subject, "The Two Ques-tions." He elaborated on the ques-tions, "What can we know?" and "What can we believe?" He brought out the fact that Americans excel in the field of usable knowledge. Dr. Harry McPherson '06 present-ed Professor Muhl as candidate for a degree, and Dr. E. E. Atherton presented Professor Wallis. Alumni who had a part in the exercises were Dr. Sidney Guthrie '13, Dr. Fred Melvin '23, and Dr. Loyal Thompson '10.
