Fazculzjf 'HROUGHOUT the past three years the Faculty at Muhlenberg has varied greatly in size, changing with shifts in civilian enrollment and assignment of Navy units. Some faculty men entered the armed forces. Most departments were enlarged, especially the Departments of Mathematics and Physics. With increasing civilian enrollment after the warls end, the Board of Trustees in June of 1946 authorized the addition of forty-five faculty members to the staff, almost doubling it. On the following pages the Ciarla notes the men who taught during the past three years at Muhlenberg. GERMAN DEPARTMENT During the war yearsv Dr. Preston A. Barba, head of the Department, and Dr. Harry H. Reichard taught most of the German. Dr. Barba, '06, received his doctor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania and studied extensively at German Universities. Dr. Reichard, an authority on the Pennsylvania Germans, was elected Professor Emeritus in 1945, but will continue to teach a few classes. In March, 1946, Dr. Ralph Wood, who formerly taught at Penn State, joined the department. The German Department was responsible for the continued activity of Der Deutsche Verein in spite of decreased enrollment. DEPARTMENT OF ROMANCE LANGUAGES The Department of Romance Languages is capably headed by Dr. Anthony S. Corbiere. A graduate of Muhlenberg in 1920, he continued his studies at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania and was awarded his doctor's degree there. Assistant Pro- fessor Charles Seaman taught in the department until he retired. In 1946 he was awarded emeritus ranking. Mr. Charles H. Pershing joined the staff in 1944 to aid in the teaching of French and Spanish. He is a graduate of Occidental College and earned his master's degree at the University of California. The latest addition to the department came in 1946 with the appointment of Alex Corriere, a gradu- ate of Lafayette in 1940, as special instructor.
