4 D0Di H6io:ri The Class of 1929 considers it a peculiar privilege and a real pleasure to dedidate this book to Professor Preston A. Barba, A. M., Ph. D. To those who, in times past or present, have undertaken to study the German litera- ture under his guidance, any characterization of our beloved professor or justification for this dedication is totally unnecessary. They and we know him not merely as a sympathetic interpreter of a literature rich in genius and masterpiece, but as a philosopher of romantic idealism, a teacher of a broad humanism. An atmosphere of culture permeates his lectures; the hustle and bustle of the busy modern world cannot disturb the reflective peace and quiet of his classroom. Dr. Barba was born Aprd 7, 1883, in Bethlehem. He received his early education at the Allentown High and Bethlehem Preparatory Schools. In 1 906 he was graduated from Muhlenberg with the degree of A. B. At Yale he received his A. M. in 1907; at the University of Pennsyl- vania his doctor’s degree in 1911. His love for the Ger- man literature, fostered and intensified through his con- tacts with the late Dr. Wackernagel, Muhlenberg’s grand old man, finally brought him as a student to the fine old German universities of Goettingen, Berlin, Munich, and Heidelberg. His work as an instructor at the University of Indiana was brought to a sudden and unfortunate end by the outbreak of the World War and the rise of an unnat- ural prejudice against all things German. Thus, he returned to his alma mater in 1922 as professor of German. Doctor Barba, together with his former colleague, Professor Vos, have edited a selective compilation of Ger- man lyrics and ballads, well annotated. Since his arrival here he has been the founder and guiding spirit of a live and popular “Deutscher Verein.” For the past few years he has been conducting, each summer, tours of Europe, which are becoming increasingly popular. It is peculiarly fitting that this volume with its medieval art theme, so suggestive of the castled hills and cool shaded vales of German Romanticism, should be dedicated to him who has so often painted sympathetically these same pictures in the classroom.
