To TI-IE FIRST LADY'S MESSAGE the Editor ol the CiarIa1 It would be impossible for the members of the Ciarla staff, able as they are, to picture the happiness our family has enjoyed during this our first year at Muhlenberg. I take great pride in the career to which I have devoted many years, in the care and upbringing of our three children. It is with great enthusiasm that I look forward to a larger and greater career of happiness and affectionate devotion to Muhl- enberg. I hope the members of your class will take every oppor- tunity during the coming year to become acquainted with the President's home, so that as Alumni you will be drawn to the Campus and our home very often. With every good wish for an enjoyable and successful Senior year. Very Sincerely Yours, REBA KITTREDC-E TYSON.

Tl-lE PRESIDEINITS MESSAGE To the Editor ol the Ciarla: T isn't necessary for me to tell you that this year has been a very interesting one for the President of the college. l hope it has had its memorable mo- ments for others as well. lt is an important job you hold,-that of recording in attractive permanent form real life as it is lived at Muhlenberg. You will pardon my personal hope and belief that your book will record a period that I shall look back upon in years to come with great pleasure and happiness. It seems to me that what we need in the world today is a determination to look ahead,-to keep our chin up and our eyes front. What we see if we look backward is not, at present, a very encouraging sight. Confusion, de- spondency, greed, corruption, fear, hatred are all ugly words, yet they are used to characterize the period through which we have just passed and out of which, please God, we hope soon to emerge. On campuses like this beauti- ful one of ours must be generated the spirit that will define practically ade- quate substitutes for descriptive terms now in such common use. Let us develop our life at Muhlenberg so that we can understand fully and use con- fidently such words as faith, serenity, honesty, power, order, charity, confi- dence, truth. You have had the privilege of recording another year's work in a con- certed attempt to establish that sort of spirit for Muhlenberg men in the making. l hope we can continue as happily with increasing success for many generations to come. LEVERINC- TYSON. President
