Lehigh University, the second in the group of colleges within the original limits of Bucks county, and the child of Asa Packer, was founded, 1865. It had its inception at an interview between Mr. Packer and Bishop Stevens the fall of 1864, when the former said he was willing to found an institution of learning, and would give $500,000 for the purpose. He asked the Bishop to devise a plan to carry out his views. This resulted in the selection of a board of trustees that met and organized at the Sun Inn, Bethlehem, the 29th of the fol- lowing July. Bishop Stevens was chosen president, and Rev. E. N. Potter, secretary. The organization was completed November 14, by the election of Prof. Henry Coppee, a graduate of West Point, and had served with distinc- tion in the Mexican war, president of the new university. The institution was incorporated February 9, 1866. Meanwhile Mr. Packer had given sixty-five acres, overlooking the Lehigh, to which Charles Brodhead added seven acres adjoining, to erect buildings on.
The president of the university entered upon his duties April 1, 1866, and the following professors were selected soon after : Rev. Eliphalet Potter, M. A., professor of moral and mental philosophy and christian evidence; Charles Mayer Wetherill, Ph. D., M. D., chemistry ; Edwin Wright Morgan, LL. D., mathematics and mechanics ; Alfred Marshall, physics and astronomy ; William Roepper, Esq., mineralogy and geology and curator of the museum ; and George Thomas Graham, A. B., instructor in Latin and Greek. The corner stone of the main building, Packer Hall, was laid July .I, at a point three hundred and sixty feet above sea level. The Moravian church having been purchased and fitted up for temporary occupancy, the university was formally opened in it September 1, in the presence of a large audience. The institution began its work with two classes.
In the near future Lehigh University was equipped with the necessary

scientific and other appliances to guarantee higher education, and additional buildings were erected as required. In 1868 Robert H. Sayre, South Bethlehem, presented the "Sayre observatory" in full working order; Packer Hall was occupied the same year : Saucon Hall was erected, 1874; scholarships came, new departments were added, and the technical and classical courses extended. In 1877 Mr. Packer established a classical professorship, and provided for opening a classical department. President Coppee, retaining the chair of the English language and literature, was succeeded, 1875, by the Rev. John Mc- Dowell Leavitt. The same year Mr. Packer presented the university fifty-two acres additional, making the park one hundred and fifteen acres in all. The next event of interest in Lehigh history was the new library building, erected by Mr. Packer at the cost of $100,000, a memorial to Mrs. Linderman, his deceased daughter. Mr. Packer died, 1891, deeply mourned and regretted, the first affliction that had overtaken the institution since it was founded. He had been a generous friend in life, and did not forget it in death, leaving the univer- sity, in his will, a permanent endowment of $1,500,000, and an additional gift of $400,000 to the library fund, making his total benefactions $3,000,000. The trustees honored his memory by setting aside the second Tuesday in October of each year as "Founder's Day."
President Leavitt resigned April, 1880, and was succeeded by Robert A. Lamberton, Esq., LL. D., many years a trustee. During his term the faculty was enlarged, the number of students increased and the scheme of studies re- vised. The financial affairs of the university continued to prosper. By the will of Mr. Packer's two sons large sums were bequeathed to it, and gifts bestowed by other generous friends. A gymnasium was erected, 1882-83, at a cost of $40,000; in 1883-84 a large building was erected for the use of chemical, mineralogical and metalurgical laboratories, costing $200,000; and 1885-87 Mrs. Mary Packer Cummings, daughter of the founder, erected and presented to the university the Packer memorial church, in memory of her family, a beau- tiful Gothic temple built of sandstone. Dr. Lamberton died September 1, 1891, and was succeeded by Dr. Thomas Messinger Drown, LL. D., the fourth president. The library of the university contains 100,000 volumes ; a corps of forty professors and tutors occupy the chairs of the various departments, and three hundred and fifty students are enrolled in its classes. A high standard of excellence is maintained, and the graduates are filling many posts of honor and usefulness.
The following students from Bucks county have been connected with Le- high University, twenty-nine in all :

The third, and youngest college of the group, is Muhlenberg, at Allentown, the county seat of Lehigh. It grew up from the "Allentown Seminary," char- tered, 1848, for the education of the youth of both sexes, through the influence of the Rev. Christian Rudolph Kessler, a Reformed minister. He was in charge for nineteen years, and during that time fifteen hundred pupils were in attendance. About this period the "Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania," whose 150th anniversary was celebrated, 1898, adopted the new policy of establishing institutions of learning on its own territory east of the Susquehanna. In furtherance of this plan, the property of the Allentown Seminary was purchased, the building enlarged and improved, and the college opened for the reception of pupils, 1867. It was named after the patriot, General Muhlenberg, of the Revolution, and the Rev. F. A. Muhlenberg, his great- grandson, was appointed its first president.
The college had a modest beginning, but with faith and work at the back of the effort it gradually grew, and, in the thirty-one years it has been in opera- tion, has earned a highly reputable standing in the collegiate field and turned out many good scholars for church and state. The attendance the first year was III in the college department, and 64 in the academic. Since 1867, the year it was opened, 1,800 students have studied in its halls, 436 graduating. The entire attendance since its ancestor, the Allentown Seminary, first saw the light of day, the students of both sexes number between 3,000 and 4,000. The corporation owns a valuable property in the heart of Allentown, a prosperous city of 35,000 inhabitants, and the endowment fund has reached the sum of $154,000, the late Asa Packer making a bequest of $30,000 in his will. The building contains the necessary recitation rooms, laboratories, chemical, physi- cal, etc .; libraries, museums, chapel, living rooms for students, and other cus- tomary appliances of a well equipped institution of learning. The increase in the attendance, in recent years has convinced the trustees that larger and more convenient buildings will be required in the near future.
The college has done excellent work in the almost a third of a century it has been in existence. Over fifty per cent. of its graduates have entered the gospel ministry, and are to be found engaged in their sacred calling in the far North and distant South, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It has given professors to Cornell, Girard, Bryn Mawr, Thiel College, Mercer county, Penn- sylvania, and the Chicago Theological Seminary. Many normal and high schools have been supplied with teachers from its alumni, and its graduates are found in the legal and medical professions and the halls of legislation. One of the graduates of Muhlenberg is assistant superintendent of the public schools of Greater New York. Since the parent institution was founded, half a century ago, many pupils from Bucks county have attended its schools and the follow- ing are known to have studied in its collegiate halls :
