A Word of Introduction . . . HIS 1947 Ciarla is the first year-book to be published at Muhlenberg College since June of 1943. War-time conditions have been responsible for this situa- tion. When war came, American education met its challenge and was to no small degree responsible for the victory. While colleges played their part in the war effort with research and words, books and theories, techniques and training, the war years stamped their impression on all colleges. Terms were accelerated, three semesters to the year. Enlistments and the draft plucked students from the campus, and the government training programs enrolled new men in the schools. Amid all this activity, college life and spirit continued to live. Although civilian enrollment shrank at Muhlenberg, over two thousand service men trained under the shadow of the old Ad Building Tower in a tremendously successful program. Some activities were curtailed, but many more continued. Sports were encouragedg Muhlenberg basketball squads attained national prominence. Throughout these war years the aim continued to be a Greater Muhlenberg- a college for the more perfect development, spiritually, mentally, and physically, of a democratic citizenry. Typical of the progress made toward this goal is the giant Field House, pictured at left, a significant addition to the college plant and toward the completion of a greater Muhlenberg. The pages of this book are an attempt to recapture some of the memorabilia of the last three years at Muhlenberg. Although there are naturally some omissions, the aim of the 1947 Ciarla is to portray life here at Muhlenberg-how a college served in war and builds in peace.
