1957

Muhlenberg College, 1957, Allentown, Pennsylvania
Chess Club
The Muhlenberg Chess Club, under the advisorship of M. M. Chatfield, has a membership of seventeen. Now in its third year, the club was organized to promote wider interest in chess among Muhlenberg students and to foster tournament competition with other institutions.
Each club meeting was the scene of Herculean quiet mental effort as members practiced for tournament competition. During the past year, such teams as Lehigh, Ursinus, Franklin and Marshall, and Western Electric were among the opponents. The highlight of the club's activities was participation in the U.S. Intercollegiate Team Tournament, at Philadelphia.
The outstanding fear of the year was accomplished by Fred Mihalow, who executed a four-move checkmate against his F&M opponent. Participation in this game cultivates both memory and reason, and at the same time provides on of the most fascinating recreations.
