The former School Counselor in me still enjoys visiting College Campuses. As I enjoyed touring around Muhlenberg College, The Chapel was a standout on the campus. The Gothic architecture grabs your attention. As I read up about the design, it is considered one of the finest examples of the modern Gothic or collegiate gothic style on an American campus. The chapel is made up of stone inside and out. The beauty of the Chapel is deceiving. Take time to stroll through it. I have been so impressed with my visits to cathedrals throughout Europe. It was a pleasant surprise to see the wonderful job they did with this Chapel. The Chapel is designed with a long nave leading to the Altar. The view from the entrance of the Nave is astonishing. The stone seems to bring out the colors in the woodwork, stain glass and altar. The nave seems narrow in proportion to the ceiling. As you walk down the aisle, you will see a small stain glass window framed by an arch. Above the arches are 5 tall stain glass window on each side. A nice sight for the eyes. The Altar has nice woodwork, including the pulpit. So, if you would like to know about the history, I included some notes from reading about the chapel. The cornerstone for the Chapel was laid on October 12, 1929. The architecture, Frank Rushmore Watson was Inspired by the designs of European Cathedrals. The Chapel was made possible by Annie Egner Hartzel. Her father was a Civil War veteran and prominent local businessman. She donated the chapel as a memorial to her parents. The Chapel was dedicated in 1931. All around the chapel there are stained glass windows that offer a history note to Muhlenberg's history. The chapel plays a major role in campus life. Besides mass, there are highlighted events such as the popular Candlelit Carols and Choir concerts. The Limestone, Oak woodwork and stain glass make it a special place.
