The Otho Winger name is a very important one in the College's history. He came to Manchester College as a student in 1898, returned to teach in 1907, and was chosen president in 1911. For 30 years, his energy was devoted to Manchester College.

When Winger assumed the presidency, student recruitment, new faculty and building programs were all issues that needed attention at once. His vision and leadership enabled Manchester to grow and develop into the College that we treasure today.

We invite you to uphold this tradition and join hundreds of other caring individuals by becoming a member of The Otho Winger Society. Call 888-257-2586 toll free or e-mail Mary Chrastil, director of planned giving (plannedgiving@manchester.edu) to be added to the Society roster.
