Muhlenberg College - Ciarla Yearbook (Allentown, PA)

FROM 1893 TILL 1942 actual photographic work which appears in the first volume of fifty are pictures of the Rev. Theodore Lorenzo Seip, then President of the College; the Rev. Ben- jamin Sadtler, second President; the Rev. Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, first president; and the board of CIARLA edi- tors for that issue. From 1893-1912 little change in the make-up of the CIARLA can be noticed. The size of the book during that time was never much smaller or larger than 7p2X 9H, although between 1906 and 1912 the tendency was for books horizontally long. Little by little between 1913 and 1927 the book thickened until it reached a 7 $4x1 Oj 6 width and length, which measurements re- mained until 1936. By that year the book had really become too thick for its size and the editors jumped the figures to the approximate 9x12 which it is today. It is from 1936, then, that the CIARLA has developed most. In 1937, although the length and width diminished along with depth to the measurements of the early ’20’s, a history of Muhlenberg College was presented and the book showed defi- nite tendencies to streamlining which has appeared in those which have followed it. 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941— all these edi- tions have been 9x12 in size and they too have gradually become thicker. The present staff believes that it has brought the CIARLA to a level on a par with that of other editions hut it also recognizes that greater things should come from the CIARLA within a short time. Already has national recognition been gained and during this period of greatest CTARLi development. Emmanuel Hoov- er’s 1939 CIARLA brought the College a good measure of fame when it received All-American honors. The 1940 hook, edited by Wilson Touhsaent, did not quite gain that high rating but received the next in line by taking First Class honors. John Ammarell’s 1941 version made a come- back and once again were All-American honors the property of Muhlenberg’s year- book.
