The Gettysburg College campus without the influence of the Musselman family would be a very different place. The Musselman name is not one that can be easily overlooked on campus, as numerous buildings are named after the famous apple processing family located in Biglerville, Pa. Yet without the generosity of the Musselman and the Emma G. Musselman foundation, the college would not only be lacking Musselman Stadium, Musselman Hall, and Musselman Library, but also the Bream Wright Hauser Field House, and thousands of dollars in scholarships awarded to students over the past several years. The Musselmans have undoubtedly left a strong imprint on the college and the greater community, and their charity has touched a countless number of people. Within the Musselman Library there is a display case devoted to the family, without whom the library itself would cease to exist. Inside this display, there are several photographs exploring the history and legacy of this remarkable family, and paying tribute to those who have brought so much to Gettysburg College. [excerpt]
