Page 5 text:

the educational institution struc- tures the student’s environment and provides for him a suitable frame of reference, yet, decidedly, it is the people whom we have met during our stay that have been most instrumental in making of these four years of life a college experience, paul klee’s ancient sound is a painting without a be- ginning and without an ending, the relationships we have shared during these years had subtle be- ginnings, but their profound influ- ences will have no end. the theme of this yearbook is people, the 1968 ciarla is dedicated to the memory of those years when youth’s daring and idealism, its struggle for independence and self-identity, and its unsuspecting naivity have permitted the sponta- neous formation of human rela- tionships greater in intensity and in number than, perhaps, ever- more. and, it is dedicated to the memory of those days of learning, involvement, emotion, and matur- ation through which the muhlen- berg college community has guid- ed, and gently prodded, each one of us.
