DEDICATION “Instit 1848 — Reconstit 1867.” The words inscribed in the college are descriptive of Muhlenberg — “Founded 1848 — Refounded 1867.” Originally the Allentown Seminary and Academy, the small Allen- town college was named in the honor of Henry Melchior Muhlen- berg, the Lutheran patriarch. From its small downtown location, the college has expanded. Today there are twenty-seven buildings on the seventy-five acre campus. It is just one hundred years after the re- founding of Muhlenberg College. Long after we have left the campus, a part of Muhlenberg College will remain with us. It is perhaps, at first a tangible reminder of the college which will remain. Some notebooks, an alma mater, a memory of the lovely blossoms which announce spring to the campus — these may at first be most vivid in our memories. Later it will become the spirit of Muhlenberg which will predomi- nate in our reminisences. The ideas which are Muhlenberg, the unre- mitting forces of Muhlenberg forced us to become involved in life and people. 7
