r?N presenting to the public this the first number of the Ciarla we deem it necessary to offer a few remarks. Owing to the indifference or dormant spirit of former classes Muhlenberg has not been represented in the college annual world since 1883, when an annual was published under the title of Souvenir. In order to keep abreast with the times; to have Muhlenberg represented with an annual ; to offer a brief panorama to our Alumni of those who now occupy the positions in which they were in days gone by engaged ; to place before anxious parents the histories and achievements of their hopefuls ; and for the good that it may do, we offer this the first number of the Ciarla. The difficulties by which we were confronted and against which we contended were numerous and varied, still from other classes and organizations connected with the College, we have received hearty co- operation in our efforts. Rising above the meaner level of selfish class feeling — whose epitaph long ago should have been written over its mouldering carcass — they have proved themselves worthy the name of college men.

The rest of the matter needs no explanation from us. Its merits or its imperfections are left to your kind judgment. If in the Ciarla, whatever its imperfections or however unskill- ful the coloring, may be found a portrait not too unfaithful to the char- acteristics and every-day life of a college man, we feel the work has at least attained towards our hopes and that our efforts have not been wholly in vain. Kind reader, we leave it to you. 7
