I am currently reading a book about the life of Henry Melch8ior Muhlenberg, The Notebook of A Colonial Clergyman ane wondered who founded the College. Unfortunately, there is no reference in all the writings. I had a friend who long ago graduated from Mulenberg College and I immediately asked the giftor of the book whether it was he. Now inquiring minds want to know.
