Guire and gimlon, so the candle flame goes muttering in the korven wind. This doughty bird whose claws of horn pierce deep my outstretched finger with their hooked spikes, a full round year has watched and chortled, thought and skowncred on the harklcy deeds and darings of the loitron race which dwells within a mimsy land called Campus. Many things he has seen both of whimsy and of joy, but all he tells with a demonic glee to watch how some go krumping, some go swinging from the telling. « Across tin shaded hills our path leads to Alumni, ivory-white against tin morning sky.

Tht 192S Owl Pay 21 I WONDER if the Sphinx is never one of us, if she is always distant, forbidding, an idol before whom we crouch with swaying censors. When snow piles ankle-deep along the Drive, when crystal sycamores and maples glitter against a winter-blue sky, her proud features arc softened under the cold drifts, and we who climb the hill forget her. Jeweled slippers patter up the steps of the Mosque; fragile melodies wing through the halls and sway over her, but she is stern, silent, apart. February sleet and cold March rains slant against her bronzes, and students still hurry toward Alumni, busy with umbrellas and lumpy brief eases. Perhaps she shivers and dreams fitfully of slow moving caravans on endless sands and of swaying palms that fringe blue waters where a white tropic sun lies mirrored. Darting cabs and jangling street cars and the never-ending bustle of students, she must hate when she longs for the gong to prayer from some distant minaret. But April comes and a willow waves feathery branches against the white of Thaw Hall. We linger along the stairways and dream on the window sills of State. And in the blue haze of a spring dusk, the Sphinx smiles............

Having as a concept of University that it be the provider of well-rounded education, and also that it should allow for specialization in particular fields, the Board arranges a general program of schools and courses, and then provides the physical means, intelligent officers, capable faculty, and adequate equipment, for the carrying out of the pro- gram with its various ramifications. The Board is com- posed of three classes of ten numbers each, elected in progression for three year terms. The Governor of Pennsylvania, the Mayor of Pittsburgh, and the Chancellor of the University arc members ex-officio. President Vice President Hon. E. V. Babcock Charles H. Kline Dr. John G.

Sometimes, if we have any doubt about this, an empty stomach makes it clear to us. To earn a living usually means that we have some definite skill. If mere skill satisfies us, then a college education is of little use. If, however, wc desire skill plus knowledge, and character, and the ability to see our particular work in relation to the work of others, that is another matter. A college, then, can help. The chemist, for example, who has no knowledge of economics, of biology, and of history may have skill enough to earn a living, but he will not have capacity for leadership nor merit professional recognition as a chemist. Students, faculty, all of us need to get the point of view of one another. As wc succeed in this, miracles happen: our lives arc tuned to a happier rhythm; our supply of tolerance and of kindness increases; and our compensation is no longer measured in money. That all knowledge be organized, be unified, in the mind of the individual is, I think, a primary mark of education. Such unity is the material of culture. John G. Bowman Th 192S Out Pay 27 SAMUEL BLACK McCORMICK, D. D. Chancellor Emeritus THE Chancellor Emeritus holds, perhaps, the most enviable position in the University. His chief occupation is to watch the wheels go round- usually from Florida in the winter time, but the rest of the year from his office in State Hall w here he feels that he is again a part of the living, throbbing, ever-expanding University and that it is his very own. The other chief duty of the Chancellor Emeritus is to stand behind the Chancellor and cheer him on. Better than all others, he knows the incessant toil, the anxious thought, and the watchful solicitude involved in the very office of Chancellor; and it is his particular privilege to afford all the encouragement and inspiration he can. For. after all, only as Chancellor Bowman brings his noble plans into realization, does the work of his predecessors have any permanent value. In lending a hand, therefore, and in seeing the University move forward, the Chancellor Emeritus fills a satisfying and useful office. SAMUEL B. McCORMICK SAMUEL BLACK LINHART, A. M., D. D. Secretary of the University THE Secretary's office is a clearing house for questions and information pertaining to every phase of University work. As Secretary of the Board of Trustees and its committees. Dr. Linhart is responsible for seeing that the actions of the Board and its committees arc carried out, and must keep an accurate record of all meetings of the Board and committees. As Acting Treasurer of the University he is responsible for seeing that its financial obligations arc met, and its revenues collected. He represents the University in its relations with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania concerning the biennial state appropriation. Financial transactions, real estate matters and legal questions make up a large part of his work. Many activities of the Secretary's office are concerned with the faculty and students of the University, such as notices cf appointments, the payment of tuition and questions which require reference to, or information from, the Registrar, Deans, and other departments. SAMUEL B. LINHART J. STEELE GOW, A. B. Executive Secretary THE chief duty of Mr. Gow. Executive Secretary of the University, is to assist the Chancellor in the guidance of the general educational program. His position is concerned with creating those conditions which arc most conducive to wise teaching and intelligent learning. He assists the Chancellor in his pioneer scientific research in the field of education. Sanely and modestly, problems arc met and programs devised for the most efficient furtherance ot scientific administrative methods towards an educational ideal. Not spectacularly, and with no regard for the bugaboo of tradition or rule-of-thumb, problems concerning the harmonious development into one unit of all schools and all courses are investigated and the results of these studies communicated to the various Deans in the form of recommendations and suggestions. J. STEELE GOW EvgfU TAr 1928 Oul � JOHN WEBER, M. E. Business Manager and Supervising Engineer TOHN Weber, as business manager of the University is financial supervisor of the Purchasing Department, the University Book Store, the Printing Department and the Cafeteria. He is also supervisor of the Building and Grounds Department. At the present time the greater part of his work is concerned with his duties as University Supervising Engineer. He has the pleasant though somewhat arduous task of acting as medium between the Chancellor and J. T. Klaudcr Co., architects for the Cathedral of Learning. He also acts as medium between the architects and Stone and Webster, contractors for the Cathedral. He is the interpreter of the Chancellor's ideas and of the architects plans. JOHN’ WEBER JOHN GILBERT QUICK, B. S. Registrar THE University officer who makes the first contact with the prospective student, the one who aids the high school graduate in selecting his course, who procures and evaluates the entrance credentials, who issues the admission certificates, who organizes and supervises the vast machinery of registration, who records and issues grades, and who prepares and transmits to the Chancellor the final documents of graduation is the Registrar. In addition to these duties, Mr. J. G. Quick is constantly engaged in conducting various studies and compiling research records for distribution among deans, instructors, and students. He is endeavoring to make of his office a real service department for students and members of the faculty. Mr. Quick is Secretary of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Secretary of the Advisory Board on Student Activities. His interest in the extra curricula activities of the student is shown by the fact that he is the Treasurer of the Young Men's Christian Association and a member of the Point Scale Committee. J. GILBERT QUICK J. HOWARD DICE, B. A., B. L. S. Librarian MR. Dice, as University Librarian, quiet and unseen, has no slight influence on the movement of the University. With the Dean of each school he makes up the departmental budgets: this appropriation for history, that for economics. The budget being decided upon, his dutv is to carry out effectively, the suggestions of department heads in regard to the purchase and circulation of reference books. Although he has no control over the purchase of books for the graduate and professional school libraries, he directs their personnel. He is responsible for the availability and distribution of University Library books, and for inter-library loans. He selects periodicals for our informative and recreational reading and a number of non-reference books for our enjovroent. It is his duty to sec that all books and magazines are well bound and in good condition. His position calls for scholarship and administrative skill. J. HOWARD DICE WILLIAM MORRELL, A. B. University Editor THE University Editor finds himself obliged to say yes or no to a multitude of questions regarding University affairs. It is he who must release all information regarding this great organization, who must edit the hundreds of bulletins, catalogues, dissertations and abstracts of dissertations; who must direct the writing of any information which goes to the newspapers of Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania, and by a judicious handling of the advertising which the University requires, give to the general public its ideas about Pitt. Perhaps the most interesting part of his duties is his work with the student editors of campus publications, which he carries on in the manner of a big brother, acting as a medium between students and Administration. WILLIAM MORRELL CHARLES R. FOSTER, A. B. Graduate Manager of Student Activities THE Advisory Board of Student Activities budgets a portion of our individual twelve-fifties into rather sizable appropriations for a large number of non-athletic activities. Mr. Foster's duty as representative of the Advisory Board is to transmit the budget to the students and to assist them in their adherence to the budget. Into his office flows a steady stream of organization managers. The I cbating Club. Pitt Players, Chess Club, Pitt Week Committee, Band, Combined Musical Clubs. Pitt Weekly, Dance and Ring Committees, Cap and Gown, S. S. G. A., W. S. G. A., and even the Owl, send delegates to haggle with him over expenditures. He appoints or approves officers for all non-athletic organizations, and he rakes them over the coals when they arc lax. Such a position should cither keep him very young for a long time or make him grow old in no time at all. CHARLES R. FOSTER K. E. DAVIS ?• {,' y Tt ins Owl K. E. DAVIS, C. E. Graduate Manager of Athletics MR. Davis has unusual opportunities for knowing both the undergraduate and alumni aspects of university life. As Graduate Manager of Athletics, he has devised a system of student managership in which the manager is elected after three years of apprenticeship. Mr. Davis supervises the work of all managers and apprentices, whose duties range from serving meals at Camp Hamilton to the handling of guarantee money for the big games. With the Student Managers he makes up each season's athletic schedule. His policy is to remain in the background and to allow the students to exercise their own initiative and executive ability. He is directly responsible to the Stadium Committee, and to the Athletic Council, of which he has been Secretary for fifteen years. As Secretary of the Alumni Association, he has charge of all Alumni records. He edits the Alumni page in the Weekly, which 5.000 Alumni read, and handles all Alumni funds. His more personal duty is to promote Alumni activity. He endeavors to keep in contact with our twelve tnousnnd Alumni, who arc scattered throughout the known world. Over his desk is a framed collection of foreign stamps from the letters of those who have strayed farthest. His office secures for the Alumni everything from positions to theatre tickets. The Radio 5 THREE years ago, Chancellor Bowman, foreseeing the cultural possibilities of radio broadcasting, received favorably the suggestion of the Wcstinghousc company to establish a studio of KDKA at Pitt as a joint undertaking of the two institutions. Early radio programs had been planned for informative value as well as for entertainment, but no systemetized educational program was presented by any station in the United States until the studio in State Hall was opened. The third anniversary of the opening of the Pitt studio was celebrated on March 30th, 1927, with a special program consisting of speeches by Mr. H. P. Davis, the Father of Radio Broadcasting”, Vicc-Presidentof the Wcstinghousc Company, and Mr. A. E. Braun, a member of the Board of Trustees of the University, and President of the Pittsburgh Post and Sun Publishing Company; and songs by the Pitt Four. Mr. Davis defined the scope for broadcasting by educational institutions: The future development of broadcasting lies in the bettering of reception and in the widest dissemination of cultural information and entertainment, no matter in what guise it is offered. Always the radio program should be of a higher grade than the generally accepted average, so that it may serve as an inspiration and education to listeners. In this future the University has a very definite responsibility, perhaps the most important of any of the agencies that make up this exceedingly complex institution of broadcasting. Programs arc arranged in conference with the heads of the various departments at the University and with guest speakers. They arc interesting to men of technical professions, to the miner, to the farmer, to the bank president, to the school boy, or the college professor. Many letters arc received, but perhaps the most gratifying response comes from the bed-fast listeners. An extremely well-balanced program has been broadcast this year: The Origin and Development of Light Sources, Dynamo, and Steam Engine ; Philosophers and Their Times ; American Art ; Mining, Metallurgy, and Oil Refining ; The Story of Our Courts ; Poetry ; Psychology for Parents ; Auto Engines: Their Operation and Care ; Spring: The Naturalist Afield ; European Sketches . Campus organizations contribute to the entertainment of the radio audience. Broadcasting is done four nights a week. Two nights arc given over to the series lectures and on each of the other two nights, a complete discourse is given. Copies of the programs which have been broadcast during the past three years may be found in most of the libraries of this country; in Natal Technical College, Durban, S. Africa; in the Soochow Technical College, Soochow, China; in the American Library in Paris; in the Technological Institute of Leningrad, Russia; and in many other libraries all over the world. A schedule of talks is distributed at the beginning of each month to a mailing list of four thousand. Miss Mary Frances Philput, as manager of the studio, is a member of the advisory committee which controls the studio's activities. Other members arc Deans Sieg, Bishop, Manley and Fricscll, Mr. Shockley, and Mr. Gow. Tfx 192S Otel Psgf J Dean of Men T 'HE first contact of a new student at the University is with the Dean of Men. Dean Harrison confers with him concerning objective purposes of his university work and advises that plan of study which he thinks best suited to his subjective interests. During the transition period from the close guardianship of preparatory school to the more impersonal attitude of the University, the Dean keeps close watch over the student's adjustment to his new environment. If a student encounters difficulties, Dean Harrison consults with him in order to search out causes. Sometimes a student has decided on a special course of study for which he is unsuited. In a few minutes conversation Dean Harrison diagnoses his ease and suggests a plan of study which will result in a better direction of the student's peculiar talents. Often the undergraduate has no definite goal, and so is restless at school. Dean Harrison attempts to set a spark to his energies. Failing in this, he may suggest a few months away from the campus to give perspective. If the student has latent ability, but shows a propensity towards laziness, Dean Harrison plays against his conceit in order to develop in him an energizing ambition. Sometimes the student is unsuited for study at an urban university; he desires, perhaps, the quiet of ivy-covered Halls, or he may want the practicalities of the technical school. Dean Harrison helps the individual student make his adjustments to the Pitt environment, and tries to provide for the fullest development of his finer potentialities. W. DON HARRISON Air.

Assistant to Dean of Men IT is the duty of John R. Johnson, assistant to the Dean of Men, to see that the individual student retains a balance between his extra-curricular and his scholastic work. The freshman who has unwittingly submerged himself in activities so that he is unable to derive full benefit either from his school work or from the activities, would be likely to waste four years in learning the cause of his inability to carry on if he were not forced to limit his ventures. The sophomore who worked as apprentice manager of a sport, reporter for the Weekly, and member of two or three committees when he was a freshman finds that his duties have grown, that he cannot properly handle such diverse activities and still keep up to the standard in his school work. John R. Johnson sees to it that in all eases there is an equilibrium maintained. Pati i 2 JOHN R.

Pa ft 33 The Graduate School A' Site, dean of the Calltfjt and Grad-School. received hit B. S.. M. S., UNIVERSITY can exist without a graduate school. It is, however, difficult to imagine one existing without the possession of that attitude toward the fields of nature and of the humanities which should characterize an honest graduate school. After all, then, the graduate school is merely a convenient administrative unit which should he created only when a clear-cut view of a full responsibility for leadership in education and in scholarship permeates a university staff. What is this attitude, or this clear-cut view? It is a conviction that goes a step further than those beliefs which prevailed in the medieval universities. In those old days the universities were entrusted with the conservation of learning-great store houses they were of the lore of still more ancient days. A time soon came when the passing on or doling out of this learning became also a normal function of the university. The significant step, however, was the creation of learning. This came very gradually, so gradually in fact, that it has not yet found an abiding place throughout our host of institutions of learning. This belief, then, in the vital need of creating learning is the attitude of which I have written and which I have stated must come before any graduate school can exist. We believe here in the University of Pittsburgh that we are justified in maintaining our graduate school. All through our various faculties arc many men and women who arc unwilling to admit that our end is merely to pass along to our students what others have created. What we may do will ever seem of small conscaucncc when it is matched against the product of all the great minds since the beginning; it will ever loom large to those who rightly measure the priceless quality of creation.

The College USING a rather crude figure, we may liken the College to the cement that holds together the various stones of a piece of masonry. These stones, representing the various professions that keep going the round of life, lack strength and purpose unless they arc held together by a common bond. This bond is pure clcan-cut thinking about the ultimate things of nature, of man, of abstract philosophy, and of all else that helps to interpret our varied lives. All figures, however, arc faulty. They tell too much or too little. Here this one tells too little. The College is this bond, it is true, and it is something more. It docs unite and interpret, but, more, it provides its own goal. The mastery of a field of thought is an end in itself; call it a vocation or an avocation, if you will. A thorough training in English, history, or sociology may not necessarily lead to a profession. What of it? It docs provide what is best in any profession—a sure knowledge. Returns in terms of money may come, but surely these arc not for a moment to be weighed against returns in satsifaction, and in the opportunity to add one’s bit to the accumulation of the world's store of beauty and of truth. It is mainly from these people trained in good colleges that we must look for advancement in every endeavor; it is from these that we may hope to unite all with imperishable bonds. L. P.

The college graduate entering business without some special preparation suffers a severe handicap. The person who has studied exclusively courses in the field of business is scarcely less handicappeu. The graduate of the School of Business Administration, equipped with both academic training and a knowledge ot the fundamental principles of business, is in a position to render competent service in the business world. The School centers its specialization upon the fundamentals of business rather than upon the particular fields of business in which adequate preparation must include experience within an organization itself. A probationary period in business is inevitable regard less of special training; but adjustments will be hastenedt false steps will be diminished, and rewards will be less delayed and more certain for the individual with general academic training and a sound knowledge of the facts and principles relating to business. The School includes the Departments of Accounting, Business Law, Commerce, Economics, Finance, Industry, and Statistics. It conducts a Bureau of Business Research, which concerns itself primarily with problems of interest to the Pittsburgh district. About one hundred of the significant business men of Pittsburgh cooperate actively with the faculty by supplementing instruction with practical problems drawn from their experience. L. K. Manley r f.t The ms Owl The School of Education THE School of Education is a professional school for teachers, supervisors, and administrators. Just as other professional schools on the campus arc organized to train physicians, engineers, lawyers, or other professional workers, so the School of Education has for its purpose the training of those who arc to become teachers and experts in supervision and administration of education. Herbert Spencer, in his analysis of education, said that the most valuable knowledge in the world is exact scientific knowledge. Even in art, which might seem farthest removed from science, knowledge of a scientific character is essential. The painter must know his colors, his canvass, and he must have a facile technique. In a like manner, teaching, often spoken of as an art, must be based upon scientific knowledge of the human mind and how it works, of human experiences and their significance, and of those types of training and experience which the pupil must have for his proper development. These facts arc discovered by scientific research. The School of Education is, therefore, a research center devoted to the discovery of better ways of educating children and adults. While research stands at the basis of good procedures in teaching as well as in other professions, the needs of the world demand that Schools of Education shall train a large number of teachers and administrators. The training of the teacher has come to be recognized as a most important problem in American education. Her training is three-fold: training in subject matter, training in human nature, and training in method. The School of Education gives the teacher that type of strictly professional technique which enables her to know how to use her knowledge effectively. A considerable part of the work of the School of Education consists of graduate training for men and women who arc to become the experts and leaders in their profession. G. H. Alderman GROVER H.

The 192S Owl P e 37 Engineering and Mines THE profession of Engineering is an exacting one; he who follows it deals with natural laws, the infraction of which means disaster; his deductions must he based upon premises which arc inconvcrtablc and which can lead to nut one conclusion—the truth. His moral motives must uplift his mental habits, and in all his relations there must be no compromise between truth and falsehood, between good and evil. The professional standard implied by these qualities is very high but not beyond any man who is determined to reach it. Professions owe their distinctive qualities to the type of men whom they enlist and the traditions with which they become invested. Men become technically proficient by being well trained but they exercise leadership largely through education obtained either in school or in tnc active work of life. Since the engineer is the man in contact with other types in other fields of human activity, he should have a broad training in the humanities. He must become familiar with industry while a student in order that he may thoroughly understand the application of his theoretical courses in school and their application to industry, and become familiar with the problems of labor and the human factor in industry. A course in these Schools, combining theory and practice, teams with opportunity. Here one secures those fundamentals which give not only financial success and fame, but the training which fits one for service and for civilization. F. L.

The School grew slowly during its first sixteen years in its rather cramped quarters downtown. But since its removal to the University campus it has grown so rapidly that it now has a larger enrollment than any other dental school. At present the number of dental and pre-dental students is nine hundred and twenty. However, the large enrollment has not been allowed to interfere with the standard of work. Ninety-seven and one-half percent of the 1,418 graduates which have been examined since 1910 passed the State Boards on first trial. Believing in the importance of a liberal foundation for the highly specialized training necessary in dentistry, the School has instituted the present requirement of two years work in the College, so that now the training in dentistry extends over a period of live years. At present the School occupies three buildings and has two hundred and twenty-five operating chairs in its infirmary. During the past year, more than 110,000 operations were performed. The School also maintains forty-four extra-mural clinics in the various homes, asylums, hospitals, health centers, and schools of the Pittsburgh District. One hundred and two members comprise the faculty and teaching staff, several of whom arc at present engaged in dental research. Several courses in graduate instruction arc being given. On the various inspections and classifications of dental schools, conducted by the Dental Educational Council of America since 1918, the School has always received an A” rating. H. E. Friesbix H.

In 1892 it became part of the University of Pittsburgh, then Western University of Pennsylvania. Its scope has widened steadily so that now it is rated class A by the Council of Medical Education of the American Medical Association. The aim of the School is to give students adequate preparation for the practice of scientific medicine: to teach them medical ethics and history of medicine so that they may do their full duty to the people and understand their obligations to their fellow practitioners, to teach them their personal responsibility in the support of proper ideals in medicine, to educate them so that they may intelligently evaluate the latest developments and utilize only those which arc found to be true and sound in principle. The method of accomplishing this aim is first to insure in the student a general maturity of mind by two years comprehensive study in the College. The next two years arc devoted almost entirely to theory in pathology, anatomy, bacteriology, physiology. His last two years of preparation arc devoted to clinical instruction. In the seventh year of his apprenticeship he must serve as an interne in an approved hospital. At present the Medical School is affiliated with a number of Pittsburgh’s finest hospitals where tnc School offers its clinical courses. However, since there is a need for a closer union of hospital and school plans arc being made for a Medical Center. Physically, a medical center is a coalition of hospitals with a great University; a true medical center is also a coalition of initiative in research and of inspiration in treatment and study of disease. The new Medical School will be created in the light of the highest possible ideals. Students may there study all types of disease. Nurses will receive broader and sounder education. Specialists from all sections will be drawn to hospitals of the group to diagnose and treat complex ailments. The medical school faculty will serve as part of the staff of each hospital. Research men will be given materials upon which to base quests not heretofore made. H ■ n The School of Medicine P-cpio The im Ok! The School of Pharmacy THE chief business of the School of Pharmacy is to produce graduates that arc competent to engage in the work demanded of pharmacists. Since the peculiar responsibility vested in the pharmacist in his relation to physicians and their patients in the compounding of prescriptions requires dependability of high order, the prime consideration is that the school produce safe pharmacists. In view of the fact that pharmacy is both a science and an art, the school feels that, in addition, to the necessity of acquainting the student with the requisite principles upon which the science and art arc based, it should also provide actual training in the profession. For this reason it has always required experience in a pharmacy under the immediate supervision of a properly qualified pharmacist as a prerequisite for graduation. In the teaching of pharmacy and the collateral sciences the purpose is always to indicate the dependence of the sciences one upon the other, as well as to point out how-social and economic progress increase in direct proportion to the realization and the action upon this fact by members of the different professions and businesses. As pharmacists they arc enjoined to devote themselves to lives of unstinted service, since their true success must be measured in terms of the efficient service rendered the people in their professional capacities as pharmacists.

The School of Law r N the early years there were professorships of law in the University, hut no regularly organized law school existed as one of its departments until 1895, under the administration of Chancellor Holland. Hon. John D. Shafer, the first Dean, held office until the year 1920; and thereafter continued as Dean Emeritus until his recent death. Judge Shafer's successor still occupies the office of Dean and has been connected with the Law School in an administrative and teaching capacity for about twenty-five years. This Law School was one of the pioneers in raising the entrance requirements so as to provide for a college education as a prerequisite to the study of law. All of its students are now college graduates. The entrance requirements arc only equalled by four or five other schools in the United States. This vear there arc two hundred and forty-one students studying at the Law School and it is rather a remarkable fact that they arc graduates of forty-two different colleges. By far the largest section of the student body now comes from the University of Pittsburgh, although in the earlier years of the Law School, Washington and Jefferson College was first, and still has undisputed hold on second place in the enrollment, with Princeton and Yale holding third and fourth places. The Faculty is composed in part by men who give their entire time to teaching law and in part by practicing lawyers and judges. The School aims to give a thorough groundwork for legal education and admission to the Bar.

The Downtown Division o NLY a few business courses of a practical nature were offered by the University of Pittsburgh Evening School at its founding in 1908. Soon, however, liberal arts courses were added. In 1923 came a consolidation of Evening School and the School of Business Administration. By the spring of 1926 it was deemed advisable to extend the curriculum to include an almost complete undergraduate program. Nearly every vocation from bank president to office boy is represented in the student body of the Downtown Division: physicians, lawyers, teachers, miners, bankers, accountants, credit men, realtors, engineers. The Downtown Division was created for young men and women, who, because of full time employment arc unable to attend day sessions of the University. The same Educational oppor- idcnts.

There is an especially selected library in the Downtown Division of more than eight thousand volumes, which serves adequately both for circulation and reference. The extent to which people arc taking advantage of the educational facilities offered by the Downtown Division is evidenced by the present enrollment which is a little over twenty-one hundred. V. W. La.vfkar Extra-mural Instruction EXTENSION UNIVERSITY Extension includes the extra-mural activities of the University. It is an expression of the belief that a university should offer educational opportunities to those who, for social or economic reasons, cannot attend its campus classes. It is the means by which the resources of the university arc nude available to all who can profit by a contact with university thought. Extension teaching, both of a formal and informal character, is generally recognized as a firmly established part of the system of higher education of American colleges and universities. The methods of teaching employed bv the Extension Bureau arc University Lectures, and Extension Class Teaching which provides for students whose business prevents their attending campus classes, but who arc able to attend late afternoon or evening meetings. The University furnishes instructors and a convenient place for any group of twenty-five or more students who desire a course which the University regularly conducts in residence. Students arc limited to a maximum of forty-five undergraduate credits or six graduate credits in extension courses. Last year classes were conducted in forty-seven centers in the Pittsburgh district with an enrollment of over three thousand students. SUMMER SCHOOL During the summer session courses arc offered bv the College, the School of Business Administration, the School of Education, and the Graduate School. These courses arc intended for graduates whose major interests arc teaching and administrations, for college students who wish to make up deficiencies or to continue advanced study for students who arc seeking admission to professional schools, and for those who desire to pursue University study, purely for its cultural or vocational values. The regular University faculty is supplemented by exchange professors from other universities and by outside specialists on Education. A branch session in college and professional courses for both undergraduates and graduates is conducted in the Johnstown High School by twelve University instructors. p Shocklev F. W.

Originally financed in 191S hv seven of the department stores in Pittsburgh, in 1925 it was provided by twenty of the Pittsburgh stores with a permanent endowment of $600,003. . The function of the Bureau as stated bv its founders is “to apply the principles of psychology, economics, education, and sociology to the solution of problems of retailing.” In performing this function it has three phases of activity: research, training, and service. The field of research includes a systematic program of research in the retail personnel sphere, the results of which arc adapted to the needs of the member stores. Each year fifteen graduate students arc selected by the Bureau for training. They arc chosen on the basis of qualifications essential for success in the several fields of retail personnel work; and after a program of graduate courses and work on the research projects, which fulfills the University requirements, thev arc given a master's degree. The Bureau then assists its graduates in securing positions o( a personnel nature in department stores. The completion of a research project involves the installation and successful maintenance of its results in one or more member stores. This necessitates visits to the stores in order to five assistance in adapting the Bureau material to the individual personnel programs. An nformation Service provides executives and personnel workers in the member stores with data on current personnel problems. The Pittsburgh member stores arc Boggs Buhl, Frank Seder, Joseph Horne Company, Jones Dry Goods Company, Kaufmann Department Stores, Inc., Lcwin-Nciman Company, Meyer Jonasson Company, Paulson Brothers, and The Rosenbaum Company.

The Observatory was first located on the summit of Observatory Hill, ft was moved to its present beautiful site in Riverview Park in 1905, at which time its equipment was very materially increased through donations by citizens of Pittsburgh. The Observatory's main work is pure research in astronomy. The most important instrument of the Observatory, used for investigations on distances of stars, is the thaw Photographic Refractor of thirty inches apcr.urc, the largest telescope of its kind in the world. Over thirty-eight thousand plates have been taken with this efficient refractor to date, so that now Allegheny has a leading place among observatories in the determining of stellar distances. The three pioneer directors were Doctors Langley, Keeler, and Brashcar. Langley's work on the heat of the moon and the infra-red heat spectrum of the sun, which gave him universal fame, was done at the old Observatory. It was here also that he started his pioneer experiments in aerodynamics. William Thaw furnished the money for Langley's experiments at a time when the itlca of mechanical flight was generally ridiculed. Dr. Keeler continued to press forward the boundaries of human knowledge. He is famous among astronomers for his proof that the rings of Saturn arc composed of countless discrete particles, little moons in effect, each of which is pursuing its independent course around the planet. The Frick Public Evening Service, through which five to six thousand people a year arc permitted to visit the Observatory, is a fulfillment of Uncle John Brashcar s dream that the inspiring facts of astronomy be given to the general public.

Mellon Institute MELLON Institute of Industrial Research of the University of Pittsburgh has for its aim the creation of new knowledge by scientific investigation, in accordance with the Industrial Fellowship System of Dr. Robert Kennedy Duncan, which is that a problem being set by the person, firm, or association interested in its solution, it is assigned to a scientific worker, who is engaged bv the Institute and given an Industrial Fellowship for a period of one year. Each holder of an Industrial Fellowship is given for the time being the broadest facilities for accomplishing a definite piece of research, and all results obtained by him belong to the donor of the Fellowship. In order to avoid duplication of research activities at the Institute only one investigation is conducted on a particular subject at any one time. This system was introduced at the University in 1911, and in 1913 Messrs. Andrew W. and Richard 13. Mellon established Mellon Institute, which has brought the University international fame. The sixty Industrial Fellowships now operating require the services of more than one hundred research chemists and engineers. Many notable investigations have been carried out by Industrial Fellowships of the Institute, and every year a number of new commercial processes arc developed and numerous discoveries arc reported in the literature of science by Fellows. The Institute docs not offer definite courses of instruction, but the nature of investigative procedure permits broad training of young scientists in research methods and in special subjects of technology. There is also a department of research in Pure Chemistry which studies more fundamental problems than those usually investigated for direct industrial purposes. E. R.

H. Williams, Professor of Zoology at Pitt, acted as director and had charge of the work in Zoology, and Dr. O. E. Jennings, Head of the Department of Botany, gave the courses in Botany. The peninsula of Presque Isle, at Eric, is well known to the botanists of the country through the survey published a few years ago by Dr. Jennings. Since then the place has been frequently visited by botanists and zoologists, and particularly entomologists. Presque Isle peninsula, now a State Park of Pennsylvania, is about six miles long. It is entirely composed of sand which has been accumulated by the joint action of wind, wave, and vegetation, and it contains beaches, dunes, sand-plain, forest, heath, ponds, and marshes. It has been moving eastward along the shore at the rate of about half of a mile per century and the various plants and plant associations arc moving along at a corresponding rate in successive waves, one after the other. Even if it were not for the interesting bluffs, elevated lake-beaches, glacial ridges, swamps, and deep ravines of the mainland, Presque Isle itself would make the Eric region biologically one of the most interesting places in the East. Lectures and laboratory work were held on the balcony of the Fish Hatchery where there was little disturbance from visitors who came to see the hatchery equipment and the fine specimens of the various kinds of living fish in the aquaria. However, there were diversions even here. Mr. Hartman, the Superintendent of the Fish Hatchery, most efficient and accommodating at all times, used, on occasion, appropriate language which sometimes filtered beyond the confines of his nearby office. The love bird,” a kind of parrot, often whistled during the lecture so that he had to be escorted behind scenes; much excitement was caused one day by the ordinarily statuesque bullfrog’s trying to jump through his glass i ' Jimmie,” Dr. Williams' pet monkey, w time emitted cries of terror. to get at ho mean- P“g.t 4S Tht mt Owl The work at the Hatchcrv was alternated with field-trips, either to the Peninsula or to some place on the mainland. If no other conveyance was ready at hand the auto-truck belonging to the Hatchcrv was placed at our disposal and driven by Mr. Wagner. The truck was fitted up with benches and we often rode through the city announced by pictures of fish on the body of the truck and the inscription If you want good fishing, obey the law. Needless to say, the people of Eric looked and learned. Usually, on such trips. Miss Hartman, a member of the class, saw to it that there was a plentiful supply of lemonade packed in ice. On the desert sands of Presque Isle, at lunch time on a hot day in July, no drink could have been more refreshing. A number of the advanced students were pursuing special studies. Mr. Prcdmorc worked on water-moulds, some of which arc dangerous parasites on fish; Miss Smith studied the vegetation along the bluff at the Head, near Wald mere Park; Mr. Shancr rowed out to a recently formed island in the western part of the Bay and assumed, for a time, the role of Robinson Crusoe in thoroughly exploring it from end to end; Miss Wilson with her microscope and bottles studying algae, down on the first floor of the Hatchcrv among the fish tanks, excited much curiosity on the part of visitors; Mr. Witz collected and studied the mosses of the region; theclass infield zoology, busily engaged in mounting and classifying insects, were the source of much outside interest, especially when they wildly waved their insect nets in the field. Dr. Williams was very soon recognized as the bug catcher by the State Police on the Peninsula. There was mild excitement one day when Mr. Krcdcl caught a very scrappy puff-adder which turned out instead to be a water snake well known for his fighting ability. Returning, one afternoon, from a trip to the Peninsula, the gasoline launch refused to answer her rudder, much to the perplexity of the skipper. While drifting about, some of the class utilized the opportunity to collect some of the water plants which at times make Misery Bay almost impassable. Then the mystery was solved: Mrs. Jennings discovered that a part of the raiment of one of the young ladies of the class had become wound in the rudder gearing. It had to be cut off with knives before the boat could proceed. A spirit of good will and earnestness prevailed throughout, from the first day the classes met to the end of the six-weeks session which was suitably celebrated by a watermelon picnic. There was so much to be covered in lecture and text and so much to be seen and learned in laboratory and field that achievement was continuous and interest never lagged. This pioneer Presque Isle Peninsula is ENTIRELY COMPOSED OF SAND WHICH HAS BEEN ACCUM-PLATBD BY THE JOINT ACTION OF WIND, WAVE, AND VEGETATION. 49 class will never forget these pleasant six weeks at Eric. T v 19U Owl GRAY fog clings to chc hillside, and the morning sun is pale yellow and far away. My feet shuffle through the drab snow as I stumble along an endless path. Slowly the long shadow of a tree creeps across the frozen ground and as I raise my eves the wind whistles through the stark branches of a poplar. Yesterday, when lilacs scented the dooryard and the new leaves rustled, I could find beauty in trees against the sky. Yesterday, Alice sang in the garden and gathered sunflower seeds. She whispered softly, but the maples heard her and 1 heard her. Winter is coming and soon you'll be gone , she said. But her song echoed and reechoed, and the fountain splashed more gaily on the mossy stones, and the dark rafters of the hall seemed bright and new again. Yesterday, the maples in my dooryard were the whole of my existence. I could defy stern law and crabbed faiths; I could forget the world of men. But all night I have sat alone while the wind was moaning like a lost soul in the forest, until solitary I crept from the vastness where poplars whirl against the sky. I must find the crowded square where noon chimes send the doves cooing and fluttering along the cobble stones. I must dwell in the shadow of the spires. top JO Tkt 1928 Owl URS has been the problem, not of expressing Pitt in terms of solid granite or the response of the student body at pep meetings, but of delineating the best that our University gives in a group of men and women. A year ago the members of the 1927 Owl staff gathered together and by secret ballot chose ten men and ten women of the graduating class who possessed not only charm of person but leadership in activities and classwork. Thus began another Pitt tradition. Again in secret conclave far from the shouts over galley proof and the plack, plack of Remingtons, we talked over the seniors; glibly we discussed values, as we flicked a cigarette ash. And this is our decision; this is our tribute. Th 1928 Owl Pay J3 Lucy Kennedy Brown f tf Tie 192S Owl Stamford F.

Youth stepped forth from out the night into the glaring, dazzling light. His stockings down, his pant- legs up, he took his first draught from the cup.

Still joyously the search pursued, his courses in new light were viewed: in math a glimpse of unity, in metaphysics purity, psychology’s impertinence, the English novel’s common sense, enchanted songs from Ariel. The tragic Greeks he knew quite well. He passed by alcoves dim and luring; he saw, beyond, a joy enduring. And scanning long the firmament, he saw a vision heaven-sent. Piff 76 Then came the vision close to him, and spoke in accents low to him, dispersed his equanimity by this divine proximity. Her looks were fond and amatory; his words were all declamatory. He felt that lately, from a prison, his soul had taken wings and risen. No longer is his soul encumbered. He quickens as from leaden slumber. Great heights he sets himself to scale. No failure can his plan curtail. He’ll make the campus heroes cower, in demonstration of his power. And then upon the heights he'll write the name of her who stirs his might; and lightly at her feet he’ll lay the honors that have come his way. 77 im Ou J Tht I92S Owl P P� And now his watch chain gently sags with little ornamental tags. He's sealed the heights upon his maps. At Fame's front door he boldly taps. Most active man at Pitt Fames cries. When you must leave, ambition dies. She leads him to a window scat. A thrill-ing view his eyes there meet. But what can cause this agitation, when naturally should come elation? The while he gazes he can see his fellows slaving foolishly, and doubts assail his eminence. Was all his work a mere pretense? What value to those childish tricks as light as this grey ash he flicks? What meaning has experience that's built of school-boy eloquence? How can there be appreciation when there is no discrimination? So makes his dreams this vivid dreamer; so sets to work this villain schemer. And ere another sun has passed is busily upon his task. Apprenticing for this and that he won a funny little hat. At times his toil made him dejected, but still he did what was expected. And no reward made him contented. His honors were unprccc dented. With eyes accustomed to the light, the vision’s gone; he now has sight. His eyes arc opened; now he sees, by some cold light, realities . The glow is gone; the light grows dim. Anddarkness comes to swallow him. So twilight is the world around. Gone the illusions Youth had found. Melancholy meditation takes the place of peregrination. A drowsy numbness fills his sense”; Tintern Abbey leaves him Faff 7S tense; sweet Helen with immortal kiss gives a taste of Marlowe’s bliss; Pale Phoebe comes with gentle tread to bind dark poppies round his head. A feeling strange, a nameless joy, suffused itself within the boy. Shadow-fingers touched his hair; a greenish light hung in the air. Back in darkness he dreams of light, as he sits musing late at night. And in his cars oft music rings. He feels the breath of mystic things. But once he sat at dawn’s chill breaking.

Oh, you would have me clinging while you breathed beauty into gaunt rocks and thundering torrents; you would have me drink deep of startling reds and purples of unclouded sunsets. With me close in your arms you would leap cataracts that toss and foam between stark cliffs. Towering, until I could not see my beloved, cloud-flecked sky, your hills would close me in and I would stumble on burdened with little lives. At nightfall you would hurl your axe amid the rustling pines and build a fire against the night in those great woods where the restless stirring of monsters, and the screech of owls creep forebodingly through the blackness, and the vastness cowers the soul.

The 192t Owl Pay 91 The Owl Office IN six days God made the world and all that therein is; on the seventh day he rested. But on the eighth, ninth, and so-on days, he prepared the world for the Owl Office. He contrived all manner of this's and that's: this caused Street Cars to run past our front door so that the Owl Staff can make use of their passes; that caused a particular placing of the Cab Station to the Editor's left as she goes out; of course, it was for the more efficient functioning of the Owl Office that the University was erected so near to it; and who can say that it is a mere coincidence that the streets arc paved to our left, back, and front? Not many of the Campus publications have as many as ten Noiseless typewriters! Few Campus publications even have four dial phones! Seldom is a Campus publication equipped with indirect lighting or automatic proofreading machines! Ah, indeed, the Owl HAS boasts. Just a little more than a stone’s throw from the center of our Office a small door opens into the panther cupboard. We're rather fond of the panther, poor creature, but he docs track up our hall-way, and his master has such a preference for other people’s cigarettes—and for other people's matches. But we treat them both kindly (do you know, we think the panther's master is just a little bit—well—crazy). We've often questioned the wisdom of Providence in placing the weekly office scarcely a typewriter's click from the far southwest corner of our Office, and it is dcuccdly hard to choose between the P. A. A. and the Schcnlcy for lunch. However, these minor inconveniences arc scarcely deplorable. The proximity of the weekly office gives us an almost democratic glow. Webster Hall was rather a blow, but, on the whole. Fate has dealt fairly with us. Do you know, we think this cathedral of learning that's being built behind us so late every night is really going to be rather clever. As we were saying to Ruth Crawford Mitchell, and to Mr. Stone and Mr. Webster, the Office looks so almost lonely now, and the University deserves something just a little better than State and Alumni and Military Department, and it was amusing, the other day, to watch the weekly office tumble into a hole that a stray stick of dvnamitc blew. Pat 92 Tt 192S 0 1 The WEEKLY Office, Frick Acres, March 1, 1927 THE OWL Office, Frick Acres. Dear Owl: We received your note of the twelfth insr., asking for more boiler-plate to pad out and break the monotony of your organization section. You say you might even publish Our Own Opinion of Ourself. We enjoy telling people about our great accomplishments in this world and our plans for eternity. You have asked us how we manage to get such handsome editors for the Weekly. You may be right, and we wouldn’t go so far as to say you’re wrong; but still, at the same time. . . You have asked us how it happens that ours is the best weekly publication west of East Lynn. Now, we wouldn’t have put it just that way; but, since you're so sure you're right, we’ll take your word for it. Of course. The Owl will be coming out weekly from May first to June thirtieth; but then. The Owl is usually classified as an annual. So we may say, without fear of successful contradiction, that we each of us leads all other publications in our respective fields. You have also asked how we manage to assemble and maintain such an efficient and intelligent staff. Probably, it’s because we're all kindred spirits over here at the Weekly office. You see, we all have brains. We like to associate with people of our own intellectual attainments. We try to be democratic, of course, but still, you can’t blame us for finding our greatest enjoyment in each other’s company. Come over sometime; we might do you good. You really shouldn't ask us why we’re all so popular. So few people have discovered as vet why we have so many co-cds park their chewing gum under our desks. If it would help any, we might hand out a questionnaire among a hundred odd co-cds. But then, some people might think we were a bit conceited; so, you might write out the questionnaire and sign it; then, we’ll have it printed and distributed. Again, you have asked us how we succeeded in obtaining such a magnificent and convenient office. Don’t you think you arc exaggerating the facts just a trifle? W'c arc proud of our office, to be sure; but, nevertheless, it has some few inconveniences. Finally, you want to know how we keep our typewriters in such good condition, well really, say, you haven’t been kidding us, have you? Sincerely yours, The Pitt Weekly. Ttx 192S Ok!

Hold chord for fsr cl note of next vrn I AND it came to pass that, while Adam and Eve were baptizing the animals, one came to them who looked neither this way nor that way. Neither could it dance a Kazatzki. What shall we name this strange abortion? Eve asked, while she critically arranged a fig leaf. He has come to us on a Tuesday; therefore, he shall be named Panther,” answered Adam, with Biblical logic. Whereupon he called up his publishers to arrange for a new edition of the book of Genesis, to be printed on Japanese vellum with L'nexpur ated under the title; but its contents arc really not more harmful than a wholesome portion of shredded wheat. After the departure from Egypt, Panther became lonely for the boys and started to come to Pitt. Unfortunately, it did not have enough credits in History of Religion and our hero was denied admission. For many days and many nights, Panther wandered on the face of the earth, picking up little tales here and there. Panther has preserved these talcs from the Middle Ages, and just loves to recount them, if you arc not watching. During the Renaissance, Panther could not decide whether to get a bov-bob or whether to let it grow; but by the time of the Reformation it had adopted a definite policy of luiijse faire. Panther s childhood was precocious. At the age of thirty seven, it could say Dada and What the Hell.” Panther earned its first dollar selling castilc soap in an effort to win a doll that talks and walks. By this time, its brilliant future was definitely assured. Panther suffered chronically from colds in the head and was deplorably phlegmatic until the early days of 1927, when it became much worse under the inspired guidance of the only modern parallel to Tacitus. He struck me with a blunt instrument and I remember nothing after that. From Panther Autobiography When Pitt was nothing but a pup, And oft alluded to as “Wup,” Who gave the dough to build it up? Tuas Pitt! Billy Pitt! Who hung his pants on Kaufmann’s clock And tied up traffic for a block, Whenever he went on a crock? 'Tuas Pitt! Billy Put! Tbi 192S Oul Page 97 Ttf Kwv Schmadel, Wat ton.

Adhering strictly to tradition, precedent, and parliamentary form, the band split into majority and opposition, with Don Brown singing bass. Majority called itself Players; opposition called itself Technical Staff; so they elected a president. Y-Hut-Jim served applesauce and cabbage salad. From the chaos came Pitt Player Policy. Joe Cameron growled. Puppy moaned, Mrs. MacQuccn left. Don Brown pulled Alex Shaw's nose: Pitt Player Policy was definitely fixed. Four weeks later, Milt Braumcn hit on the happy idea that Pitt Players be a Dramatic Organization. The magnificence of the pun carried the plan even over the heads of the Technical Staff. In spite of Puppy and Abe Savage, Wurtifl-Flummtry, Spring, and Casino Gardens were put on in rapid succession. Belinda also ran. The Servant in the House, famous Three-Week Play, climaxed the year's program. Dame Rumor has it that Beyond the Horizon will be tacked on to the season after the Owl has gone to press. Audiences often attend the plays—real audiences which laugh and guffaw at each bit of pathos, and smack their lips when the Players arc so indiscreet as to kiss each other on the stage—audiences which snicker and sneer and comment on the players, playing, lighting effects, and scenery, just as do Vanity Fair audiences. During intermissions Abe Laufc substitutes for Fred Ellwood on the piano, and by the way, Pitt Player footlights arc headlights really, don't you know.

Earle Ycarslcy. The climax of the 1922-23 season came at the concert of the combined men and women's musical clubs at Carnegie Hall. During 1924-25, Mrs. Charles Mayhcw of the Pittsburgh Musical Institute, was elected director, and the Girls' Glee Club began a successful year which included a trip to Eric and a home concert. Mrs. Mayhcw again directed the club in the year 1925-26 and the club gave many successful concerts in adjoining towns and over the radio. The year again ended with a trip, this time an exchange concert with the Girl’s Glee Club of the University of Cincinnati. This year Mrs. James Green accepted the vacancy left when Mrs. Mayhcw received an offer from Obcrlin. The personnel of the club has greatly increased and a number of interesting concerts have been scheduled in the towns in the vicinity. The organization is making plans for a trip to Detroit, and for their annual home concert in Carnegie Music Hall. The aim of the Girls' Glee Club is to raise the standard of musical appreciation and to provide music for campus activities. Girls’ Glee Club. 1926 27 MEMBERS Helen Wigman Mrs. Jas. H.

William McDougall Pafit 102 The ms Out Cap and Gown LONG, long ago, my little co-cds, when fifty-two was just the number after fifty-one, and twenty-nine had no particular significance; when Panther was a furry little cub, not old or wise enough to ban open-house because of a bent cork-screw on the lawn; when May meant Migratory; in fact, so long ago that Seniors did not consult 'Who’s Who on being asked about Gordon, Haig, Baccardi, or Bourbon; there was a Junior who admitted that he knew nothing of the workings of a woman's mind. At the same time he harbored secretly an ardent desire to fathom these mysteries. On his return from an evening's research on the subject, he did not regale his fraternity brothers with glowing-hot, even white-hot accounts of his experiences. He was so different from the general run of Dormitory Don Juans, that Mincthagold, Goddess of the Co-Ed, resolved to reward him. Accordingly, she met him one night and granted him the customary three wishes. His first wish was that he know the truth about the workings of the feminine mind. Mincthagold frowned, then sighed, but, having made her oath, whispered seventeen words into his car. The Junior fell back in amazement and abject disillusionment. Cursing mightily, he clutched the Goddess around the throat and hissed his second, his only other wish Give me the power that, on the most potent day of the Season of Illusionmcnt, 1 may enable men to learn the truth concerning the workings of a woman's mind.” So saying he flung her from him, and walked down the steps in horrible meditation on the seventeen words. Through his new-found knowledge he achieved an early death, and matriculated in Heaven. Now you know and I know that on nights in early May, a number of people pass along the walk above Heinz House, and that this number is exactly divisible by two, the quotient being the number of men students who pass along that walk. Junior, in order to wreak his vengeance upon Co-Ed-kind, and in order to impose upon mankind the agony of disillusionment, stations himself on the walk above Heinz House on that most potent night of the Season of Illusionmcnt, and changes into girls all men who pass him. They who arc thus transformed, to save themselves from the ridicule of their fellows, mount upon a stage and cavort feverishly, proclaiming that they just pretend to be girls in order that they may produce Cap and Gown. On the next morning, having partaken too freely of coca-cola with aspirin, these chaps know nothing of having been girls and think that they only impersonated them for Drama's sake. But the world has an unreasonable drabness. T x 192S Ou t Pa f 103 Tup Rou: JuJkewin., lut, Park, Cat ant, Munyrtr, Grumtt, Cr.nr.fr, Ehtne t, Lal y, Kir Next Rett: S.

Miller, both of the class of '06, Pitt Band was organized; and through their efforts, too, a fund of thirty-five cents per capita was created for band uniforms. The eight original members who had between them seven instruments borrowed from Becker's music store, bought scarlet, blue tasslcd, felt hats with their dole. Although a brass-buttoned, professional band was hired for the more important games, the student band was allowed to play at some of the minor ones. Today, the band, chosen with a view of obtaining a well balanced concert group, is considered one of the best organizations of its kind in the country. It has a personnel of sixty-four, with budget provisions for a yearly increase of ten men. Its uniform is blue, the cape gold-lined, the military hat blue with a stiff gold plume. The band is no longer barred from important football games, but has advanced to the dignity of concert work, in which field it has achieved a nation-wide reputation chiefly through the work of M. S. Roccrto. Each year, the band climaxes its activities with a scries of home concerts given in April. The fame of the group has grown to such proportions that at tryouts each year there arc over three hundred applicants. Those who gain admittance arc rewarded with a bronze key for one year's service, a silver key for two years, and a gold key for three. This year Richard Skidmore, the student leader of the band, has written The Fight Song, which was introduced during the football season. On, Pittsburgh, a song written by Edward Blistwin, manager of the Band, has been played in the past year, though the words were written too late to be sung at any of the football games.

Starting with Men’s Glee Club, Dental Chorus, Girls' Glee Club and the Cap and Gown Club as a nucleus, it is planned to bring together in this new organization all those students who arc interested in music. Students having any vocal talent, even though they arc not members of any of the above organizations, have been urged to enroll. The membership list now includes about one hundred and fifty names. The Chorus was introduced to the Campus at the Charter Day services, in February. It has also appeared at the regular general assemblies of the University. The climax of the season will be the presentation of several selections at the June Commencement Exercises. In order that the members of the newly organized chorus might become better acquainted with each other, a tea dance was held at the Heinz House. This affair was a great factor in promoting that spirit of friendliness among members. Dr. Wright, a graduate of the Dental School and at present an instructor there, coaches and conducts the Chorus. Under his guidance the Chorus has made a fine start . Plans for the next season arc now being perfected.

At the present time membership is competitive. Because of this, the group has produced each year a musical organization which ranks with the finest in the East. The Musical Clubs make more public appearances during the year than any other school organization. Two trips were made this year to cities in the Tri-State district, and twenty-three concerts were given during the season. Both local concerts and trips serve to stimulate an active interest on the part of the members. For the first time in its history, the Glee Club competed in the annual state-wide glee club contest, held in Pittsburgh, February 18, 1927. Other schools which participated in this contest were Pennsylvania State College, Buckncll University, Juniata College, Washington and Jefferson College, and Carnegie Institute of Technology. Pennsylvania State College, winner of the local contest, went to New York to compete in the National Contest of College Glee Clubs OFFICERS OF COMBIMED MUSICAL CLUBS Karl C.

Kerr of the Shadysidc Presbyterian Church, that he organize and teach a religious discussion group made up of Pitt students. Dr. Kerr followed her suggestion. Pitkin Club grew from the little group which met with Dr. Kerr on certain Fridays. It took its name from Horace Tracy Pitkin, an American missionary, who was killed in the Boxer rebellion. Each Friday noon during the school year, Pitkin Club holds meeting at th Shadysidc Presbyterian Church. After luncheon, Dr. Kerr leads discussion on problems of theology and religion. Foreign missionary work is discussed; Christianity is studied in its relations to the individual and to society; such interesting words a; conscience, religion, theology, and heaven arc tentatively defined.

The Y” Hut serves as a social center and a meeting place on the campus; approximately 500 men arc attracted to the Hut daily. Many clubs, organizations, and fraternities use it nightly for a meeting place. The Student Council appointed by the president under the direct supervision of the executive secretary plans the year's program. In the fall of 1926, over 2,000 freshman handbooks, Frosh Bibles, were issued free to the incoming students. A Freshman camp was held in September at Camp Kon-O-Kwee, to introduce the new men to Pitt ideals and customs, and a Church Reception Night was sponsored bv the Church Relations Committee when all the churches in the vicinity held a reception for the students of each denomination. The Community Service Committee has been responsible for securing Pitt men to act as volunteer club leaders at Rankin Community House and Lawrcncc-villc Y. M. C. A. The Deputation Team Committee is an important activity on the Y” program; the members visit the different churches and young people's societies to speak on many subjects. The Social Committee arranged various social events, including the Freshman-Get-Together and a Medical School Banquet. The Y” Hut. The Y” program arc supported by contributions secured from the students, faculty, and friends of the University. A financial campaign is launched each fall to secure these funds. During the Christmas holidays seventeen men representing Pitt were sent to the National Student Conference at the Milwaukee, and about the same number goes each June to the summer student conferences at Silver Bay at Lake George, N. Y. and at Eaglcsmcrc, Penna. Tfx 192S 0 1 ■ Ptff ill Tap Raw: Mathnan, Sthetrtr, Haaptr, White, Slaane, Main, Strailer, Gar Jake Stxl Raw: Catr«.

Mrs. L. T. Gibbs, wife of the former head of the English Department, was influential in organizing Y. W. at Pitt in 1910. The next summer Jean Donaldson was sent to the Y. W. conference at Dennison University, and in the following year she was appointed Organization Chairman of the Association. One day, six Y. W. members rolled up their sleeves and spent an hour in their mother's kitchens making fudge and scafoam, which they sold in Thaw Hall. In this way enough money was procured to send two delegates to Kansas City Student Convention. Candy Stand became a Pitt institution. Helen Frost Dice, now wife of the University Librarian, was president during the next two years. She inaugurated Dairy Lunches which were served in 105 Thaw Hall, and which were very popular with the men of the faculty. Under the presidency of Florence Teagarden, now assistant professor of psychology at Pitt, Y. W. began to assume its present form: weekly meetings were held; there were occasional socials; delegates were sent to Eaglcsmcrc; Y members did social service work. In 1915, the only office that the Y. W. had was a post office box in the rest room in State Hall; but during the next year there were a hundred members, ten girls teaching at Kingsley Settlement House, and two Bible classes. The organization supported a teacher at Canton Christian College. Now the Y. W. has a comfortable office in the Heinz House where Miss Helen Battrick, the Executive Secretary, talks over problems and plans entertainments and courses of study with the girls. Welcoming the freshman co-eds during the first week of school bv carefully planned noon teas, the University branch of the Y. W. C. A. has taken one step in making the new freshmen feel the Pitt spirit. Weekly meetings arc held at the Heinz House led by prominent ministers who discuss Bible texts. Interpretative playlets arc given to celebrate Christmas and Easter. Y. W. C. A. sponsors the Big and Little Sister movement. The committee assigns to each freshman an older girl who introduces the newcomer to Pitt life and gives to her information and advice. Each Christmas dolls arc dressed and distributed among the poor by the Freshman Commission of Y. W. C. A. Discussion groups, arranged to study religious problems of world interest, one China under World Fellowship, and another The Establishment of Friendly Relations Between Races” arc a part of Y. W. C. A. life. Candy stands arc taken care of by members of the organization in University buildings. Y. W. has been successful in its financial drive as well as in its membership campaign far exceeding the expectations of most ardent workers. Tbt mt o i Psp m Tap Raw: Fiihkin.

Student Council, elected each February by members of the “Y, acts as the governing body. It is composed of representatives from Pitt, Carnegie Tech, Duquesne, P. C. W., and Teachers' Training School. The group sponsors religious, social, intellectual, and athletic activities among thestudents. During the 1926-27 season a student synagogue was presided over by a Pitt freshman, Sidney Eiges, each Friday evening. Besides a reception and dance for incoming freshmen, the organization held a Purim dance and several smokers. Book teas arc held each month. Athletic activities included a handball tournament. 77 I92S Oui P‘i 117 Efittin, Fnbkin, D.irta, Wtltb, Murphy Mews Debating Association MEMBERS A. L.

The Association holds a large number of intercollegiate and intcrmural contests on questions of current public and university interest, and endeavors to give to as many as possible the opportunity to speak in public. The program this year has included graduate, freshmen, and extension debates as well as the usual encounters with other colleges. The extension debates, usually intcrmural, arc held before men's clubs, church groups, and high schools. The 1926-27 season opened with a graduate team meeting Oxford University on the subject of Tariff or Free Trade. As the Englishmen spiced their jokes with an occasional plunge into statistics, and the Pittsburghers pointed their hard facts with a few well-timed shafts of wit, the encounter proved at once entertaining and instructive. Following Oxford came the annual triangular debate with Pennsylvania State College and Washington and Jefferson College on the subject of the Cultural and the Practical in Higher Education, and shortly after, Emory and Henry came to Pittsburgh to exchange ideas on the same question. The freshman team during the early weeks of the second semester engaged Washington and Jefferson in a dual debate on the cancellation of the war debts, and shortly after the varsity met the University of Buffalo on the same subject. In April and May debates arc scheduled with Harvard University, Boston College, and West Virginia University, all at home. A western trip is also contemplated. The association also has charge of oratorical activities and conducts ever)' year a contest, the winner of which represents the university in a national intercollegiate oratorical contest. Membership in the association is open to all who try out for the debating team or otherwise indicate interest in forensic activities. During the absence of Professor Parrish on a year's leave, coaching is under the direction of Ross Scanlon and C. K. Thomas of the Public Speaking Department.

At the present time, debating activities arc under the supervision of Theresa Kahn of the English department. The group has inaugurated a new policy of debating before high schools and various women’s organizations. The teams met the University of Cincinnati the first semester in a dual debate; in the second semester, they met Juniata College, New York University, and Swarthmorc College. The organization of a freshman debating team has been an event of this year. Tbt I92t Of I Pay 121 Top R ie: Coffman. Brindley, Coleman.

Both units arc authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920. In maintaining the branches of the service here, the University of Pittsburgh takes its place with other leading educational institutions of the country in making plans effective in time of peace, for developing trained reserve officers who can be utilized in a national emergency. While the primary purpose of the R. O. T. C. is to establish corps of experienced leaders for national defense, it also aids in developing its members physically, giving them a training which will be invaluable in their civil pursuits.

The local chapter, organized October 6, 1915, holds weekly meetings with student speakers, and also gives several social affairs throughout the year. Membership is limited to juniors and seniors studying electrical engineering. Three national conventions arc held each year. The mid-winter convention is perhaps the most interesting for it is devoted to the presentation of technical papers, and to inspection trips to points of engineering interest. J. G.

The initial feature in the activities of the organization was the vocational guidance conference for negro high school senior girls. Local speakers discussed the various vocations. In 1925, after it had received recognition from the university authorities, the Council broadened its program. A charity box and entertainment was given to the Home for Aged and Infirmed Colored Women. The W. S. G. A. Commission and the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet were the guests of the C. N. C.

In 1925, an active chest fund was created by assessing each member of the association. This fund enabled the organization to provide for entertainment and election expenses. The year 1926-27 has been the most active in the history of the organization. During the first semester, the Association entertained a large group of students at an informal dance at the Hotel Schenlcy. A dance and party were held during the Christmas season.

Freshman Representative Tt ins Ou t Women's Athletic Association THE Women's Athletic Association was founded primarily for the purpose of promoting higher physical efficiency among the women at Pitt. By enlisting student cooperation, Athletic Association has grown from a small group of five girls to an organization which includes hundreds, and which is recognized as one of the major associations on campus. The rapidity with which the organization has grown is indicative of its popularity. In 1919, Margaret McClcnahan and Ethel James, two members of the varsity basketball team, organized the Women’s Athletic Council which, two years later, was reorganized on a permanent basis as the Women's Athletic Association. In a period of seven years, the organization has greatly increased its membership and is steadily gaining friends among Pitt women. From the meager athletic schedule of 1919 (varsity and freshman basketball), the Women's Athletic Association has expanded to the extent that it now controls the following well organized schedule of sports: hockey, basketball, volley ball, swimming, golf, archery, hiking, baseball, tennis, dancing, and life saving. An accurate point system is employed in rewarding the successful players with association pins and insignias designating the different Pitt teams. A social program has been developed with the other activities of the organization. The yearly schedule includes the traditional Co-Ed Prom, the popular Buggy Ride, pep rallies, and mixer dances. In this way the association adds to the traditions of itself and the schools. In this way, fostering inter-class athletics, and presenting an ever-broadening sport program, the Women's also, has the growing membership been accompanied by the fulfillment of all the original hopes. The Women's Athletic Association takes its place with the leading bodies of the campus. Tht 192S Owl T«f Rue: Neu imt. Burden Next Rue: Saek, Ltte tr, tviarx. Inter Fraternity Ball HORDES of frolicking Greeks invaded the lobby of the Schcnlcy Hotel on the night of January twenty-first. They stood five deep around the water-cooler; they formed long lines at the checking room; the men struggled with obstreperous collars and tics; the girls flaunted chiffons and shawls, jeweled slippers and flashing vanities. Then came a rush to the ballroom as Ted Brownaglc sounded the call to the frolic of the Greeks. Interfraternity Ball was one frolic after another. The members of the committee had done their best to give the party a dignified atmosphere; they had gathered classic palms around the Victor Recording Orchestra; they had decorated the pannclcd walls with conventional shields bearing the letters of each of the fraternities of the Council; they had stationed Bill Duflinbaugh, elaborately tuxedoed, at the doorway. But it was useless. The Greeks had brought with them too gay a humor to be anything but noisy, rollicking, dancing Hellenes. Bill Duflinbaugh had been warned by the hopeful committee that there would be a big crowd, but Bill hears that story so often that it no longer carries weight. He was mildly surprised when three hundred and six couples presented the necessary credentials for entrance to the Schcnlcy Ballroom. But on top of all this, Interfraternity Ball of 1927 established a precedent. It gave useful favors for men. It is bad enough to give favors to men, but to give useful favors is monstrous and should be looked into. This smacks of feminine machinations. In fact it seems almost Machiavellian. But above all it is a dangerous precedent. Nevertheless, we congratulate the committee. Interfraternity Ball is a blessing to humanity: it is our first real excuse, to break New Year's resolutions about not spending so much money.

For a moment the moon silvered the stately, velvet draped windows of the grand ballroom of the William Penn; then a lavender ray slipped from the purple darkness of the balcony and shimmered on the crystal ball that twisted until fainter lavender, almost violet-scented, dripped down on the dancers. Again the velvet blackness, sobbing with melody, closed in on us, dancing alone. A sax blared a scarlet note that shed the veiled light of dawn across the dazzling chandeliers. Ruby, scarlet, red drops of light glimmered above us as we danced, danced into orange, yellow, gold. All the gayness, the color of Spanish shawls and golden jewelcasks glittered before us, and we were part of this glowing color. The velvets, chiffons, georgettes, and the glowing black and white of tuxs mingled together in lesser rainbows under the golds and greens. At ten o'clock William McKee, chairman of the Prom committee, led Miss Mabel Bradftcld through the mazes of green draped pillars to the arched doorway. In and out under the balcony, coiling and recoiling, the trailing procession moved across the gleaming floor, to receive favors and programs. In the buzz of the next few moments when silver lights twinkled high above us, the men sauntered about while the ladies gathered in groups, bowing, smiling, nodding at the slender mirrors that reflected massed rainbows of color. Again dreamy melodies drifted from the swaying palms in a dim corner of the ballroom, where Ollic Naylor and his Victor Recording Orchestra strummed banjos and whistled bits of tunes. We forgot time, everything, as we moved in and out of soft violets and living reds. Blinding lights flashed on, and for a moment we paused as though we saw the ballroom with its blue velvet drapes, ivory walls, and moon-flooded balcony for the first time. ' Extray, extray! Prom Pom Buzzard, extray!” A dozen newsboys scrambled across the floor and shoved the papers into our faces. The words jumbled before our eyes. We turned the page. AL LUNG LEE screamed in bold face on the inside page. Up and down the sheet, scandal and caustic thrusts at those who stalk across the campus or whisper over the shoulders of the neargreat, glittered before us. But again the music drifted across the room, dreamier than before: colors moving, twisting, turning....

Touoii, Chairman Charlotte McMurray Pag 146_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tbx I92S Owl Pitt Week THE first event planned for Pitt Week is a general University Assembly in Memorial Hall on May twelfth. This Assembly will be primarily for the purpose of rewarding those men who have distinguished themselves at Pitt. Druids will tap freshmen and sophomores who have shown unusual ability in activities and scholastic work during the year. O. D. K. will tap Juniors and Seniors who have been prominent on the Campus during their years in school. After the tapping Senior Honors will be awarded. An interfraternity track meet in the Stadium is scheduled to follow Assembly. In the afternoon there will be tea dances both at the Heinz House and at the Faculty Club. Varsity Night will complete the day’s program with stunts and music presented in the collegiate manner. On the morning of the thirteenth, passersby will witness a Poverty Parade. All Pitt students will put on disguises, various and rather terrible, to meander up and down the Drive shouting joyfully. Soph-Frosh Rush follows the parade. Pitt Week is very gallantly reviving old customs this year. Even the long-neglected push-mobiles arc now being dragged from fraternity attics, dusted off, oiled and polished to appear once again in the Grand Sweepstakes. Old grads will weep for joy and certainly the undergrads will give the big allcgcncc as the pushmobilcs swing around the curve at Baird and Bigelow. Athletic Co-eds and even those who never venture to the regions of Trees Gym will compete in the Scooter and Roller Skating Race the same afternoon. The last event of Pitt Week is to be the Mardi Gras in Motor Square Garden. Ross Gorman and his Colombia Recording Orchestra have been engaged to furnish music for the carnival dance. Tb mt Owl ?sff 147 WHEN sunlight swims above the bare trees, when only hardy asters Haunt themselves against autumn winds, when leaves, crisp and brown, drift in the gutters, then I would throw myself down on a warm meadow and watch the smoky sky. Leaves whirr down incessantly; a brook splashes over gray rocks and slips along the field trailing a wisp of foam along its placid coolness; a column of smoke rises from a low chimney. But dusk comes and 1 must be wandering back towards the lamps of the village, gleaming through diamond window-panes. I catch glimpses of andirons shining in the firelight and the golden heads and round eyes of children over bowls of bread and milk. 1 loiter in mv garden, but 1 do not dream of an hour before the fire when tea is brewing, of a winter evening when I would curl up on the hearth to read Montaigne while apples pop and eider bubbles, nor of strawberries and cream on a June morning. I wonder if Sweetness and Light can satisfy when we arc cold and hungry for reality. Then I find that my hillside is a gaunt clump of rocks; the firelights and lamps arc the livid glare of gas jets, and my garden, a straggling alley way. r-v i s t k im Ou t FRATERNITIES OUR journeys arc not all of books read and swords crossed in conflict with those who inhabit worlds like ours. Heavy penances have been imposed upon us. And now we cherish silent mysteries and small magics. We gather about hearth fires to converse of baubles that amuse us and of deep-mouthed philosophies.

McClintock Page HI Tlx I92S Owl Interfraternity Council THE Interfraternity Council, composed of two representatives from each of the eighteen leading social fraternities on the campus, maintains close relationship with the fraternities. It also serves as a medium through which a closer relationship is formed between the fraternities and the University. A representative is sent to New York each year to attend the meetings of the National Interfraternity Conference. In this way the Council is in constant touch with problems at other large universities and with conditions existing elsewhere. Athletics play an important role in the conference. Each year, the Council, with the cooperation of the Athletic Association of the University, sponsors the Interfraternity Basketball League. Track meets and other athletic events complete the competition. Interfraternity Ball, the first formal of the college year, is one of Pitt’s traditions. It is directly under the auspices of the Council. Several interfraternity smokers arc given each year by the individual fraternities. Semi-annually a silver loving cup, the gift of John C. Fetterman, former Dean of Men, is awarded to the fraternity in the Council which has attained the highest scholastic average. The rushing and pledging of men is governed solely;by the Council.

The chapter went out of existence when a ban was placed on fraternities at W. U. P.

Urged on by its progressive and democratic doctrines its expansion was phenomenal, and in but a brief period it was ready to take an honored position in the fraternity world. It now has twenty-four active chapters and eleven Alumni chapters. Its aim is to promote a lasting comradeship among the membership of the whole fraternity. Following this principle, Zeta Chapter of Phi Epsilon Pi was installed at the University of Pittsburgh on December 26, 1913- Supporting all activities, campaigns, and undertakings, Phi Epsilon Pi devotedly takes pride in everything that Pitt accomplishes.

Panhellenic has devised second semester rushing for the encouragement of scholarship. The cup which is offered each year by Panhellenic for the highest scholastic rating was last year awarded to Zeta Tau Alpha. Freshman women were introduced to Panhellenic through an assembly which was held at the beginning of the first semester at which time 'O l� iAos, a guide to fraternities, made its initial appearance. This booklet which concerns rushing, scholastic requirements, bidding, and expenses proved very valuable to freshmen. An open forum for discussion of questions of particular interest to Freshmen was held immediately preceding rushing. A series of Salamcgundi Parties were held in November. Panhellenic Banquet came on March eleventh, after the annual conference. Panhellenic Ball was held April 22 in the Schcnlcy ballroom, which was decorated significantly.

It is the outgrowth of various pre-medical organizations which have been in existence from time to time since college work was made a pre-requisite for entrance into Medical School. At present plans arc being formulated for the expansion of the fraternity into a national organization by its union with similar pre-medical organizations in other colleges and universities.

It was first organized as an anti-fraternity society in order to limit the influence of fraternities then existing at Pitt. At first the group called itself Pi Beta Phi, but out of deference to the prior existing sorority of that name they changed to Phi Beta Pi. Alter a while, finding that the society prospered and was inculcating the same fraternal spirit as its rivals, it dropped its anti-fraternity character.

However, the main function of the fraternity is not only to give recognition to such men, hut also to unite them for the purpose of fostering and furthering extra-curricular activities To this end the traditional O. D. K. Activities Smoker is held each year. In addition, a system of interviews of non-fraternity freshmen by members of O. D. K. has also accomplished good results by placing men in activities. The Fraternity was founded in 1914 at Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia. Since that date seventeen additional circles have been installed, the majority of which arc located south of the Mason-Dixon Line. In more than a decided majority of colleges and universities having O. D. K. Circles, membership in the Fraternity has been voted by the respective student bodies to be the highest honor attainable. At the 1927 Convention held at University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, Professor Gustav L. Schramm was elected National Vice President of Omicron Delta Kappa. MEMBERS Bertram H.

This list is based entirely on activities and scholarship of the Freshmen and Sophomores. These women arc formally presented to the active and alumnae members of Mortar Board at a recognition party.

The active Cwcns of 1927 arc carrying out the idea which a group of Sophomores in 1921 conceived when they started a fraternity for women who had distinguished themselves during their freshman year in scholarship, leadership, and participation in activities. In May, 1925, delegates from similar honorary locals at Miami University and Missouri University met with the Pitt representatives sent to Miami, Ohio. From this convention grew the national honorary sophomore activities fraternity which adopted the Pitt name, and the Pitt pin, and made Pitt Alpha chapter. The following year the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania granted a national charter. This year a national convention of Cwcns will be held on Pitt campus. Cwcns is the goal for which freshman girls strive, and each year the retiring Cwcns with fitting ceremony doff the hat to certain freshman girls. The little gray hat with its cocky red quill is worn on all occasions where Cwcns act as a group. It is also worn during the first few weeks of school as a sign to lonely freshmen who want helpful friendliness. .

The purposes of the fraternity arc the development of esprit dc corps and the promotion of social activities within the R. O. T. C. The first years of the fraternity's existence were characterized by increased interest in R. O. T. C. affairs generally, and in the practical work of summer camps at Fort Monroe, Virginia. The influence of the fraternity was manifested, particularly, at Fort Monroe, in 1922, when the Pitt R. O. T. C. contingent won the camp trophy for general excellence. In 1926 Alpha Delta Epsilon departed from its policy of limiting membership to students of the coast artillery unit and extended its numbers to include the medical unit. This change in policy has resulted in renewed interest in the object for which the fraternity was organized and a fuller realization of its purpose.

The idea of forming the organization which includes men and women honor students from all the schools of the university, originated with the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors and the Honor Graduates Association of the University of Pittsburgh. Among this group has arisen a feeling that honor students should have some recognition on the campus. At a dinner held two years ago the junior and senior honor students of all the schools organized to form Pi Tau Phi. At a banquet held at the Faculty Club in May, 1926, forty-one juniors and seniors were initiated. Campus activities as well as scholastic rank arc considered in choosing members. At present, the fraternity is working on plans for activities which will tend to foster higher scholarship in the Freshman and Sophomore classes as well as among upper classmen. MEMBERS Theodore R.

Pi Lambda Theta was organized with a view to establishing in institutions similar to the University of Pittsburgh and in the general practice of education, a lofty code of professional ethics, high standards of honor and professional training, and thorough scholarship ; and to promoting such social interests as will further those ends. In December, 1913, Dean Will Grant Chambers planted the seeds of the organization. In 1914, these seeds sprouted in a local organization known as Kappa Pi. At about the same time the soil at other universities was nourishing the seeds of similar organizations. The result was a national fraternity, Pi Lambda Theta, of which Kappa Pi of the University of Pittsburgh became Delta Chapter. At present there arc twenty-two college chapters and seven alumna chapters. The Ella Victoria Dobbs Fellowship is awarded annually to the worthiest applicant desiring to do research work in education.

All day, wooly masses of gray will crouch under the green trees, cool in the distant tinkle of water. 1 can scarcely hear the water; each day the sounds grow fainter, except the voice of my son's wife. In a moment she will scream, Wash the dishes, and go find the kids!” Always she is screaming about her kids and her marketing until I forget — Forget — What did I try to remember? Yes, there were fete days and the tapping of fiddlers toes on the platform, a swirl of starched petticoats, and Teresa, my sainted bride, her hair braided under a gold and white headress, her kerchief stiff, and her eyes round at the beauties of my small farm; my boys growing up, playing on the kitchen stones, singing love songs at twilight in the glen where the village maidens wander. I forget those old songs; they grow dim like my eyes. Just let me sit in the sunshine and think.

The glamor of them will linger with us through all our journeying, but we shall be forced to leave behind us certain pretty toys. This, of course, is extremely regrettable. However, we shall have children, and grandchildren, to whom we can recount such editions of our small triumphs as seem most pleasurable. p 6‘ m Athletic Council ATHLETIC activities have been directed by Athletic Council since athletics first assumed importance on the campus. Council consists of a representative of the Chancellor, a member of the Board of Trustees, the Graduate Manager of Athletics, a faculty representative from each school, a student representative from each school, and alumni representatives equal in number to the faculty members. The Chairman of Council for many years has been Dr. A. F. Judd, a member of the Dental and Pharmacy faculties, who has guided the activities of Council wisely and diplomatically. The Graduate Manager of Athletics reports to Athletic Council at its monthly meetings, when tnc details of athletic policy arc decided. Stadium Committee has cooperated with Athletic Council in conducting matter of business. The Athletic Council makes nominations for coaches, managers and other personnel of the athletic organization of the University to the Stadium Committee. It also arranges the various athletic schedules, handles eligibility problems, and stimulates student and alumni interest in athletics. Incidentally, all funds received from athletics arc turned over to the Treasurer of the University, and all checks and vouchers arc made payable directly to the University. Under the careful direction of Athletic Council, the eligibility rules of the University have become increasingly strict. The first restriction was the One-Year Migratory Rule, which barred from competition for one year any man who has competed on a varsity team at another institution. Then came the One-Year Reisdence Rule which restricts all freshmen from playing, and which allow the student three years of competition. The latest restriction, which was Eut into effect last year, is the Transfer Rule, which bars from competition any student who as ever competed on a varsity team at another institution. Pitt is one of the few eastern schools which have imposed such a restriction on itself. MEMBERS OF COUNCIL Dr. S. B. Liniiart... A. R.

Bowman and the Board of Trustees approved the erection of the Pitt Stadium, they very wisely appointed a Stadium Committee composed of significant business men of Pittsburgh. Absolute control in financing and erecting the Stadium was vested in the Committee. Homer D. Williams, president of the Pittsburgh Steel Company, chairman; A. J. Kelly, Jr., president of the Commonwealth Real Estate Company; A. R. Hamilton, prominent coal operator; C. L. Wooldridge, general superintendent of the Carnegie Land Company, C. W. Ridingcr, president of the Iron City Electric Company; C. D. Wettach, president of the W. W. Lawrence Company, and Dr. A. F. Judd, for many years chairman of the University Athletic Council and a member of the Dental and Pharmacy School faculties, make up the Committee. Williams, Kelly, Hamilton, and Ridingcr, arc trustees of the University, graduate Manager K. E. Davis was made Secretary. This Committee directed the two million dollar bond sale, which was one of the most remarkable financial projects ever launched in the city of Pittsburgh. The bonds were sold almost overnight; the issue was greatly oversubscribed. While the sale was going on, the Stadium was being erected. It was completed for the opening of the 1925 season and dedicated at the Pitt-Carncgic game. Since that time the Stadium Committee has closely cooperated with Athletic Council. In spite of heavy obligations to be met, the problems of direction and management have been Skillfully handled. The annual gross receipts last year amounted to about four hundred thousand dollars, an increase of thirty-three and one third percent over any receipts as Forbes Field. Ktllj, Wnldridg, JmJJ.

Somehow, we've always Keen interested in a rather ordinary type of spirit—the kind of spirit that we keep over at the stadium and, a dozen times a season, drag out to air along with our handkerchiefs and blue and gold crepe paper for the benefit of the Post and Gazette Sport Clubs. Someday the Cathedral will rise majestically over Oakland, but we wonder whether it will be quite as soul-stirring as the Stadium crouching between the hills. A hurried climb over thousands of brown steps, then we burst into the Stadium. Cheers and tumbling cheerleaders. The Panther grins at the crowd and plays with his tail. Along the white lines the players move with only short lapses from action to measure yardage or to pick up the mud-covered referee. A little fellow in white shakes his arms and wiggles his shoulders, and then the sign boards read Play by 7 and Yards gained 6. The six-footers down in the mud see things a little differently. They arc blind to the reds and blues that fairly scream at us, but the muttered numbers that mean nothing to us, give them swift pictures. Then through the line, down against the earth they thump as the tackles clip them off. Slowly things come back again the white lines cease to dance. Up again and down as they gain five yards, ten yards. Football must be to them an endless thudding against the solid earth and periodic visits of the water boy. During the half, an old grad with a megaphone yells at us, Where’s your Pep! Get some of that old school spirit! He never stops to listen to Pitt Spirit rumbling back and forth through the Stadium, re-echoing along Fifth Avenue on a drizzly November afternoon during a Tech parade, or rising high above the crowd in Memorial Hall, higher than the Stadium, higher even than the Cathedral.

In this day, no team, regardless of caliber can point for each succeeding game with contemplation of winning in terms of victories and defeats. As 1 look back on the season it seems to me that it was the development of material, the willingness and spirit of the McMillan players, as well as the overcoming of unusual difficulties, that made 1926 a successful season. I want to thank the personally coaches for their untiring efforts. It has not been football alone that this group of instructors has taught the squad. A spirit of loyalty, confidence in self, character were some of the things which Jock” gave us. It is the qualities that football develops in an individual which makes the game the American man sport it is. Jock and his assistants have well prepared us for life. Although the students were discouraged after the city championship had been lost, they supported us when it came to the Big Three. I believe that students and team felt the real Pitt Spirit, as it should be, first in the West Virginia game, then against W. J. and Penn State. I am glad that I was a member of the 1926 team. I feel that you of the team, as individuals, fighting against the greatest odds, heavy schedule, material injuries, newspaper and personal comment, have marked yourselves as courageous and heroic figures. Wishing you the greatest success in the 1927 season, Tuffy McMillan e $ fe ft g e £ g eg «■' S § ? I 9. t t • M Camp Hamilton AT the mention of Camp Hamilton to any of those who have done time there brings first a glamourless memory of monotonous plugging, of sprains and bruises and fatigue; but then comes the memory of the chill of the cool evenings, the dripping dampness of white tents, the rushing murmur of Paint Creek, the discordant jangling of the first bell. At Camp Hamilton acquaintances arc formed and friendships sealed. There is an irrepressible spirit born of perseverance and self-sacrifice which draws and binds the men together. Inconveniences are undergone willingly, injuries borne patiently, strict training rules adhered to without protest. Any manager, ex-manager, or assistant manager, will tell you that the contact with this group, and the friendships and acquaintances made mean more to him than the attaining of the managership. Any player will tell you that it is these few weeks at Camp Hamilton that inculcate a fighting spirit into the members of the squad, which gives zest to the whole season. In my three pilgrimages to Windber Wilderness I have never seen a more wonderful spirit among managers, players, and coaches, than was shown last fall. John McCrady Booth The 1926 Football Season THE 1926 football season was a famous ■’comeback season, featured by the grit and determination for which Panther athletic teams arc famous. Coach John B. ( Jock ) Sutherland having lost eight veterans from his almost invincible 1925 outfit, tackled one of the hardest schedules in Pitt history with a squad of green men. The result was that he struck some snags early in the season before the team was developed, and for a while it looked as though complete disaster might result. After barely beating Allegheny, tying Georgetown, and losing to Lafayette, the team found itself against Colgate. Carnegie Teen s unusually strong team won by a two-touchdown margin, and then the Panthers started their great finish by beating Westminster and West Virginia, tying W. J. (a team which was very confident of victory), and winning the final game of the season from Penn State. There have been seasons which produced more brilliant teams than that of 1926, but there has been possibly no season in the 30 years of Panther football history where more critical situations were faced and overcome. Captain McMillin's team entered the Colgate game with its back against the wall. Few realized the great strength of Colgate, as shown by subsequent events. Pitt simply had to win, and she won. Carnegie Tech with a veteran team was very strong. Her victory over Notre Dame proved this. THE 1927 FOOTBALL SEASON—Continued The Westminster game was an inspiring one, the score being one of the largest ever rolled up by a Panther football team. This seemed to whet the varsity’s appetites for West Virginia, and they vanquished the Mountaineers rather easily. W. J., with Andy” Kerr, fresh from Stanford University, at the helm as head coach, and with Bill” Amos, great fullback, was ricked bv the critics as a sure winner. The Washingtonians were well satisfied to get a tic. t was the old story on Thanksgiving Dav with Penn State. The Lions started out strong, and it looked as though they might give trouble, but Welch got going, and it was all off. The bright star of the season was Captain-elect Gibby Welch. He was the leading ground gainer of the country, and his brilliant runs in the Stadium gave the varsity the necessary punch. Tiny Linn and Bill Kern were standbys in the line. Captain Blair McMillin was a good dependable leader, who showed grit and stick-to-it-ivcncss in the face of early season defeats, with attendant criticism The Freshman team was exceptionally good, winning every game it played, and trimming Bcllcfontc Academy, national prep school champions, in the game at Lock Haven. Other teams defeated were Kiski prep, Carnegie, State, W. J., and West Virginia Freshmen. K. E. Davis Allegheny—G eorgeto wn PITT opened the season against Allegheny with a team that fell far short of expectations. They were lucky to scrape through with the bare 9-7 victory over a weak opponent. Allegheny showed unexpected grit in the contest. All through the game, they pushed Sutherland's team to the limit. Coached by Nlcl Merritt, former assistant at Dartmouth, the visitors offered a much more perfected attack than the Panthers. And the defense clamped down on the Pitt backs with decisive finality. However, Pitt staged a remarkable comeback in the second game of the season, holding what later proved to be a great Georgetown team to a 6-6 deadlock. Over 18,000 people watched a vastly improved Panther machine hold its own against the highly rated Georgetown eleven. With Gibby Welch back in the line-up, fully recovered from his training-camp injuries, the Panthers pushed down the field and Booth crashed through for a touchdown in the third quarter. The visitors opened the scoring in the first period, when Jerry Thompson, fleet back, raced over the goal line for a touchdown. A forty yard get-away, with Bucky O'Neil, former local boy, carrying the ball around Pitt's right end, made the score possible. Babe Connaughton, rated as one of the outstanding linemen of the season, played a whale of a game against Pitt. If it had not been for the gigantic 265 pound Georgetown guard, who killed many Pitt plays, the Panthers might have been on the large end of the score. Haoan m i9u o i Kckn- Lafayette—Colgate IN spite of the marked improvement the Pitt team showed against Georgetown, the Lafayette Leopards, under Herb McCracken, defeated the Panthers by a score of 17-7. For three quarters, Pitt held its own. After the Leopards had scored on a forward pass, Gibby Welch got away for Pitt's solitary touchdown. Booth's placement tied the score 7-7. After Pitt's touchdown, the two teams played on without scoring. Finally, in the last quarter, Lafayette began to weave through the Pitt defense. Cothran scored a placement, giving the visitors a slight margin. Then a fumble by Booth ended the Panther hopes. Guest went over for the second touchdown and Cothran made the extra point. Stung bv the Lafayette defeat, the Panther eleven came back with a 19-16 triumph over Colgate. This victory over the team that had tied Dartmouth for the 1925 intercollegiate honors of the East was one of the outstanding upsets of the season. A brilliant first period assault swept the Panthers over the goal line twice, to cinch one of the greatest Pitt conquests in recent years. Fisher, shifted at training camp from the line to the Backficld, featured in the attack when he caught a pass from Welch and raced 25 yards for the second touchdown of the quarter. Booth had crashed over the line a few minutes earlier for the first score. Colgate rallied dangerously and scored in the last quarter, but Pitt had too great a margin for the former joint Eastern titlcholdcrs to overcome. Tht ms Oiel P'l' 2SS Linn Carnegie Tech BULL Yoder, All-American tackle, and Daredevil Donohoc, llashv hack, led the team that walloped Notre Dame, to a 14-0 victory over the bewildered Pitt outfit. A throng of 30,000 thrilled to see Donohoc score twice on spectacular runs. The Tartan rooters went wild as their team regained the city championship with its third victory over Pitt in twenty years. Soon after the game got uidcr way, Harpstcr passed to Donohoc, who ran 33 yards behind fine interference for the first score. The Tech stands rose with a roar; the Pitt hackers slumped in surprised silence. Lctzcltcr kicked the extra point. Carnegie’s other touchdown came in the second quarter. Rooney let a lateral pass from Welch slip out of his hands and Nlcfort snatched it up. He was stopped on the Pitt cightccn-vard line. Tech tried several line plunges and a forward pass for a total of nine yards. On the last down, Donohoc skirted left end for the final score with one of the most brilliant scoring plays witnessed at the stadium during the 1926 season. Lctzcltcr again added the extra point. In the second half, Pitt launched a desperate attack, uncorking all 'Jock'' Sutherland's tricks, hut the Skibo line held consistently in the pinches. During the game, the Panthers led in first downs, fifteen to five; in ground gained, 170 yards to 156; and in ground gained by passes, 109 yards to 65- But the Scotchmen played a faster, more wide-awake game. When Pitt threatened, their defense became invincible. Donohoc s ability to break way when necessary gave them the victory. Mefort deserves credit for his lightning recovery of Rooney's fumble. Welch was the only outstanding Pitt star. Pj6 286 Tlx 1928 Out Rookst Westminster—West Virginia STILL smarting under the lacing handed them by Carnegie on the previous Saturday, the Pitt backficld ran wild against Westminster and piled up a score that nearly equalled the highest ever made by a Panther eleven. While Sutherland scouted Wash-Jeff in Philadelphia, “Chalky” Williamson guided the home team through the most decisive victory of the season. Westminster, under Coach Dike Beede, could do nothing against her heavier opponent. Welch, Fisher, Booth, and Rooney led the attack that piled up an 8S-0 score. Welch made four touchdowns from long distances. After Westminster came the Mountaineers. The famous West Virginia shift, begun under Tubby” Spears and now carried on bv Ira Rodgers, proved ineffective against the Panther machine. Sutherland's eleven duplicated last year's score over the Mountaineers, 17-7. Before an assemblage of 40,000 people. West Virginia drove vainly against the Pitt line. With Ed Morrison out of the lineup, the visitors had little to offer. For their flashy open style of former years, they substituted straight football in their attack. The Panthers, unequalled in this type of play, kept the Mountaineers on the run most of the time. Bootn, Welch, and Rooney featured in the Pitt triumph. Early in the game, Booth plunged the ball well into West Virginia territory and Welch carried it over for the first touchdown. A little later, Welch recovered a fumble and ran 20 yards for the second score. Late in the game, Rooney kicked a placement to complete Pitt's decisive score. SALATA Wash'Jeff ANDY Kerr's district champions and Wild Bill” Amos, one of the greatest full-backs of the 1926 season, failed to overawe the underrated Panthers, who held them to a scoreless tic in a hard-fought contest. Amos never got started and the other President backs proved ineffective against the Pitt line. Clevc Cook, a former local boy, was the only visitor to gain noticeably against the home team. Throughout the game, Pitt more than equalled what was considered one of the best W'ash-Jeff combinations in recent years. Three times the Panthers threatened to score. Once early in the game, they pushed down under the very goal posts of their opponents; but the President line held. Twice in the later periods, Pitt threatened to score; but for the most part the two teams see-sawed monotonously near the center of the field. Booth's ripping line plunges and Rooney's excellent kicking stood out in the Panther attack. Booth gained consistently and reeled off more yards than any other player of the afternoon. Rooney, the former Allegheny High star, once more demonstrated his ability as a kicker. In the third quarter, Pitt pushed the ball down the center of the field to within 23 yards of the President goal. Rooney was sent in to kick; but Welch, probably sensing an opening, tried to circle right end. He was thrown far to the right of the field without gain. From this position, Rooney tried an almost impossible placement kick. The Northsidc lad made a wonderful try, but the ball was too far out of angle and missed by a few inches. With his failure, Pitt lost one of the afternoon's best opportunities to score. P'S m Tb 192S Ou t Weuh Penn State F)R three periods, Penn State played the Panthers to a standstill, before Gibby Welch turned the game into a track meet and ran off a 24 to 6 victory. Welch, fully recovered from the injuries which had handicapped him earlier in the year, rose to the greatest heights of his season and brought out the best in Jock Sutherland's Panthers when he broke loose in the final quarter. Time and again, he swept around the State ends and down the sidelines to slip untouched through the bewildered secondary defense. To Jimmy Rooney also goes a good bit of the credit for the decisive last period triumph that came only after an underrated State team had pushed Pitt to the limit for three-fourths of the combat. It was a battle of individuals in both halves. In the first two periods, Johnny Roepke, triple threat man of the Lion squad, put Bezdek's combination in the front, only to see his great work overshadowed by the miraculous performances of Galloping Gibby. State's first disappointment came with their initial play of the afternoon. Delp took a short pass from Pincura, pushed through a mob of Panther tacklcrs, and ran a spectacular 35 yards for a touchdown. Hut the referee declared the ball grounded and called it back. Again the Lions came back under Roepke and took the lead in a close contest. But before the end of the first half, Welch got under way; and at the end of the second period, Pitt was leading by a score of 7 to 6. However, it was not until the final quarter that Gibby , galloping away with his peculiar running crouch, yanked a crowd of 55,000 to their feet and set the stadium vibrating with cheers of victory.

Frosh Football THE undefeated Pitt Frosh closed a highly successful season by walloping Bcllcfonce Academy, national prcp-school champions, 20-0. Dr. H. Clifford Carlson coached his players through five victories, aiming always toward the final game with the highly rated Bcllcfontc eleven. Only in the first game, with Kiski, were the Panther cubs scored against. A late start, with no freshman training at Camp Hamilton, handicapped Coach Carlson. He had weeded out the team, however, and put it in smooth running order by the opening of the season. The Frosh entered the Kiski game an unknown quantity, and came out with a 19-7 victory. Kiski's lone score resulted from a Pitt fumble. The Frosh kept up an effective attack led by Parkinson and Edwards, possible stars of the future. The following week, the Frosh won their first home game from the Carnegie Plcbcs, 10-0. The Tartan yearlings held the cubs for the first half. But in the third quarter, a steady march down the field placed the ball in position for a field goal. After a conference, Quarterback Gicl kicked a perfect field goal for three points. In the final period, the cubs scored again, when Parkinson ended a steady attack bv plunging over for a touchdown. Gicl added the final point for a 10-0 victory. The State game opened with the cub chances in doubt. But the Panther eleven soon showed its superiority over the Lion yearlings. Pitt's two touchdowns came in the first half. Early in the game, Parkinson and Edwards pushed the ball down the field for the first score. In the second period, Edwards threw a long pass to Donchcss for the final touchdown. Penalties in the second half kept the cubs from increasing their 13-0 margin. The West Virginia freshmen went down in the stadium, 13-0. Parkinson ended an early drive down the field with a touchdown. Soon after. West Virginia uncorked the most spectacular play of the game. From a fake punt formation, LaRuc, speedy Snake pup, broke away for 55 yards. Edwards brought him down on the Pitt two yard line with a brilliant tackle from the rear. The Panther line held for downs. In the third quarter, Pitt scored its second touchdown. Uansa went around left end and was stopped only on West Virginia's two yard line. He plunged over for a touchdown on the following play. Pup 390 The im Ow l Carlson gave lus second string men a chance in the Wash-Jeff game at Greensburg, Armistice Day. But he was forced to send in his first team to stop the fighting mad President Plcbcs. The Panther cubs played an excellent defensive game. Once they held their opponents on the one yard line for downs. On the final down of this series, the Pitt line threw the threatening back for a yard loss. But the Panthers, keeping their plays hidden for the final contest with Bcllcfontc, failed to show their best offensive form. Edward’s trained toe kicked for three mints from a difficult angle. The other two points came after a many-fumblcd play. Following much argument, Pitt was awarded a safety rather than a touchdown. Although the 5-0 score was the lowest of the season, the Panthers were satisfied with their victory over a team that included several second year freshman players. The following week Coach Carlson devoted to perfecting a deceptive shift formation with which to baffle Bcllcfontc, national prep school champs, rew dared hope for a Pitt victory over the crack prep-school eleven, which had three undefeated seasons to its credit. Bcllc-fonte's brilliant showing at Eric and its 67-7 victory over the West Virginia frosh gave the academy all odds over tnc Panther cubs. In Captain Hood, they boasted a player who overshadows the great Bill Amos in passing ability. All the critics expected Bcllcfontc to break the frosh winning streak, as it had in the two previous seasons. The frosh opened the game at Lock Haven with a baffling attack. The shift, with Edwards carrying the ball, swept Bcllcfontc back under their own goal posts. A double pass sent Charley unmolested across the line. In the second quarter, the same play off the other side of the line put Garbark across for Pitt s second touchdown. In the same period, Cohen knocked the ball out of Hood’s hand, recovered it, and ran half the length of the field for the final score. In the second half. Captain Hood's sixty yard heaves proved ineffective. Only a few short fusses were completed. Donchcss intercepted several throws to disconcert the prep eleven urthcr. With the fame following the Bcllcfontc game, K. E. Davis received numerous requests for post season contests. But our Athletic Council decided against them. Parkinson, Edwards, and Gicl in the backficld; Donchcss at end; Montgomery, Klinger, Corson, Starbird, Griffith, Mahoney, Olson, and Shaw on the line, and numerous others of the freshman squad will furnish excellent material for next year’s varsity. 1927 Basketball Season THE SQUAD Fisher Hoban Kow ALLIS Lissfelt, Capt. McGill McMahan Reed Richman Rihanek Wrobleski Wunderlich Wilson, Mgr. Dr. Carlson, Coach LiwriLT ALTHOUGH losing the tri-state conference championship to Allegheny College through early season defeats, the 1927 basket ball team sealed the dizziest heights ever reached by a Pitt team or by any other local team by decisive victories over Michigan University, Penn State College, and Syracuse University. In addition to these outstanding victories. Coach Carlson's Panthers won the “Big Four” title, took two out of three from Carnegie and won both contests from Wash-Jeff. With Captain Elmer Lissfelt out of school the first semester and Reed and Wrobleski on the injured list, the Panthers lost four out of their first five games, the only victory, coming as a surprise over Syracuse University in an over-time tilt. Losses to Allegheny, Carnegie and West Virginia kept Pitt from retaining the tri-state title. The return of Captain Lissfelt coupled with the confidence obtained through a one point victory over the Presidents at Wash-Jeff, led the Panthers to victories which placed them among the leading quintets of the country. A ten point victory over Carnegie evened the city series. A surprise loss to Grove City College was followed the next night by a greater surprise, the defeat of Michigan, champions of the Western Conference. Led by Reed, who played the greatest game of his career, the Pittites stopped Osterban, one of the conference leading scorers, and took a well-deserved 35-23 victory. After a thrilling victory over the Presidents on the stadium court, the Panthers travelled to East Lansing, Mich., and South Bend, Ind. The first night, they defeated Michigan State, 36-34, in a game which Spartan officials termed “one of the greatest ever played on the Michigan State pavillion.” The next night, however, the undefeated Notre Dame bas-kctccrs continued their winning pace by a decisive victory over the Panthers. It was the twenty-seventh straight win for the Irish. Led by Captain Mike Hamas, the Penn State Lions came to the stadium with the best team in Nittany's history. With a close victory over Princeton and a decisive victor)’ over Duquesne University, the Lions 292 Tlx J92S Of I were favored. The 1927 Pitt surprise team again proved its ability to upset predictions by winning 33-27. The Panthers were the first team in the district to defeat the Lions. In the third game of the scries Pitt defeated Carnegie Tech, 41-39, in one of the most brilliant finishes staged on the Stadium court. Reed's goal, with only seconds remaining till the final pistol, decided the contest. The following week Doc Carlson's cagcrs avenged their early defeat to the Methodists by making another one-point decision at Mcadc-villc. The Panther cage season ended with a close game at State College, the Lions winning 35-34 in a return contest. The loss marked the fifth one-point game which the Panthers had played. They also won two games by two-point margins. Reed proved the individual star of the Panther quintet and was ranked as the outstanding player in the tri-state district. His work against Michigan and Penn State was regarded as the finest individual performance witnessed in this section. Although out of three contests on account of an injured ankle, ''Sykes'' tied Kowallis for the highest number of field goals. Kowallis and Wroblcski also came in for a lot of praise for their aggressive play throughout the year. The two diminutive forwards were a constant scoring menace to opposing teams. George's long range shots thrilled the spectators time after time, while Stachs perpetual motion aroused repeated yells from the fans. Doc Carlson developed a strong pivot man in Rihanck. Most of the time he played against taller opponents, but Bill held his own both at the tip-off and in caging baskets. Captain Lissfclt's return provided both the necessary weight and the indispensable confidence for carrying the season to a successful close. While Lissfclt and Reed were missing from the line-up, Hoban and Fisher, football stars, filled the vacant positions ably. Hoban's play against Syracuse caused pleasing reports from eastern sports critics. Fisher, although still an unfinished basket ball performer, was a hard guard to pass. McGill, Wunderlich, Richman and McMahon also saw action in Blue and Gold uniforms. Captain Lissfclt, Rihanck, Kowallis and Richman arct he only players to graduate from the 1927 squad.

This year he coached the freshman basketball team through the best season in the history of freshmen athletics. The undefeated 1927 freshman basketball team, tutored by Dr. McMastcrs, stands out as the best in Pitt's history by reason of the fact that twelve victories were registered in as many contests. During this spectacular season the Pitt yearlings amassed 605 points to their opponents 284, averaging over 50 points a game. At the foul line they made 75 shots in 145 tries. The final game of the year at State College was the only close battle given the freshmen. Kiski, Slippery Rock, Shadysidc, McKeesport, West Virginia, Penn State twice, W.-J. twice, and Carnegie Tech three times, fell prey to the powerful onsluaght of the Panther cubs. The outstanding events of the season were the triple win over Tech and the double beatings handed the W.-J. and Penn State freshmen. The playing of the whole team was exceptionally good the whole year and to praise anyone at the expense of the rest would be unfair. Charles Hyatt led the individual scoring and featured with his miraculous shooting. His partner, Zchfuss, played consistent basketball and displayed some of the best floor work seen here. His foul shooting was a big help to the team in quite a few games. Cohen ranks as a great center because of his speed, precise-shooting, and his ability to get the tip-off on all his opponents. The guarding of David Moritz and Ashbaugh deserves special mention, for it was a feature of every game. In addition, both men figured heavily in the scoring in nearly every game. The substitutes were strong and could always be relied upon. Completing the squad were Arthurs, Sulzncr, Mango, Rcgcstcin, Laifer, Edwards, Bishop and Snyder. The team was managed by ''Doe” Lynch and Harry Fcinstcin.

The team opened with Navy at Annapolis, the middies winning 40-22. The next meet was with Notre Dame in the Pittsburgh Athletic Club pool, and here again the Pitt natators were defeated. The Grccnmcn won 43-19. The first victory came the next week at West Point, where the Pitt swimmers won from the Cadets, 36 to 26. The final meet, which was held the following evening with Lafayette, found the Panther mermen on the small end of a 31 to 28 score. At no time during the season did Coach Pat Corr have the entire team’s strength in working order. Seely, one of the best swimmers on the team, developed pneumonia before the first big meet, and Bowen was out of the Notre Dame meet. The loss of these men in the two big meets of the season was really responsible for the defeat of the Panther natators. Captain Wright, R. F. Bowen, and Mango, last year Freshmen, were consistent winners for the Pitt swim team. Wright, who is the best sprint swimmer on the team, proved also to be its best diver. Bowen, starred in the breast stroke, Mango in the back-stroke. Bowen broke the tank records at West Point and Lafayette in the 200-yard breast-stroke, doing the distance in 2:44 at the former, and in 2:45 at the latter. His performance at West Point was just one and three-fifths seconds behind the intercollegiate record for the distance. Mango came through the season with a flawless record, taking first in the back-stroke in all the varsity meets. Other members of the Pitt swimming team were Lithgow, Robb, Lovncr, and London. Lithgow performed in the 50, 100, and 440-vard free style swims. Robb and :Lovncr placed in several of the meets in the free style swims. The Pitt relay team was made up of Lithgow, Bowen, Mango, and Wright, with London as an alternate. The freshman team went through the season without the loss of a single meet. It won two meets from Schcnlcv High, two from Turtle Creek High, and one meet from Kiski, one from Peabody, and one from Knoxville High. The most conspicuous star was Miller, a very good breast-stroke swimmer, who should easily make the varsity next season. Lcfcvrc and Dowdcn arc good free style men; Dowdcn also performed in the diving events. Harper was the team's back-strokcr. Underwood and Jackson were consistent performers; each taking several places in the meets. The frosh relay team was victor in every meet except one. The team scored 260 points against 152 for its opponents. Pat Corr was coach of both the varsity and freshmen teams. C. C. Guthrie was the manager of the varsity swim team. The 1928 Ou !

The 1926 Track and Field Season EXCEPT for the victory over Carnegie Tech, 108-27, Pitt’s 1926 varsity track season was unsuccessful. The team lost to Navy, 96-35; to West Virginia, 79-56; and to Penn State, 99 i 35 i; and won from Geneva, 83-43, in an easy meet. The Pitt relay team placed third in the Penn Relays, but four individual stars who were sent to the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet at Harvard failed to annex a point in that classic. The outstanding men on the team were Welch, Linn, Kerr, Moore, and Schmidt. During the season. Welch scored a total of 71 points; Linn, 43; Kerr and Moore, each 33- The season opened in the Pitt Stadium with the Geneva meet on Saturday, April 17, inaugurating the new quarter-mile track. Fabiani won the high hurdles, with Herrington third. Welch took first places in the discus, javelin, and broad jump, and a third in the shot put, which was won by Captain Tiny Linn. Kerr placed first in the mile and two mile runs; and Moore captured the quarter mile dash. Hank Schmidt won the pole vault and was second in the half mile run, which Locklcy of Geneva won in fine style. Second places were won for Pitt by Fyock in the low hurdles; by Long in the hundred; by James in the quarter; by Marquis in the two-mile; by Chalfant in the javelin; and by Arens in the broad jump. Kutchka was third in the discus, Magee third in the pole vault, Gorski third in the mile, and Norris third in the low hurdles. The Penn Relays were held April 24 at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. Linn and Welch were sent to compete in the special weight events of the carnival, but both failed to place. Rutter, Wick, James, and Moore, with Fcttcrman as alternate, made up the mile relay team. It placed third to Occidental College of Los Angeles and to Massachusetts Tech. Occidental won the race in 3:23 minutes. On May first, the Panther cindcrpath men met Annapolis. Herrington, Linn, and Kerr took the only first places. Welch could not make the trip because of illness. Herrington placed first in the high hurdles and second in the lows. Kerr won the mile in 10:02.9, and the two mile in 4:35-5- Third places were taken by James in the quarter mile, Linn in the discus, Kutchka in the shot, Grindlc in the broad jump, Magee in the pole vault, and Long in the 220. Archibald and Linn placed second in the discus and the hammer. Fay 29b The I92S Owl The Schcnlcy Park Scotchmen came to the Stadium on Tuesday, May 11, and the Panther took them in one gulp, 108 to 27. Gibbv Welch began by breaking Jock Sutherland's long standing record in the discus throw, by more than three feet. His throw placed the mark at 141 feet inches. The opening event of the meet was a thriller, Long, of Pitt and Cristoff of Carnegie, tying for first in the hundred yard dash. First places went to Fabiani in the high hurdles, to Kerr in the mile, to Maruuis in the two mile, to Moore in the quarter-mile and two-twenty, to Herrington in the low hurdles, to Schmidt in the 880, to Fyock in the high jump, to Linn in the hammer, and to Gibby Welch in the shot put, discus, javelin, and broad jump. Welch, almost outscorcd the entire Tech team with his four firsts. Pitt second places went to Fyock in the high hurdles, to Gorski in the mile, to Adams in the two mile, to Linn in the shot put, to Peters in the high jump, to Magee in the pole vault, and to Archibald in tnc discus and hammer. On May 15, Pitt fell before the West Virginia Mountaineers, losing by a margin of 23 points. Welch won in the shot put and discus, while Moore and Linn took the quarter and hammer, respectively, for the only firsts that the Panthers were able to annex. Most of the Blue and Gold tally was gained with a large number of second and third places. Second places were registered by Kerr, Welch, Fabiani, Marquis, Talbot, Archibald, Moore, and Peters. Third places went to Linn, Gorski, Grindlc, Crawford, Herrington, Kerr, Schmidt, Welch, Wick, and Fyock. The Pitt Intcrcollcgiatcs, held Saturday, May 22, were won by West Virginia with 57 points; Pitt second, points; Geneva third, 24 points. Gibby Welch was the star of the Intcrcollcgiatcs, placing first in the javelin, and second in the shot and discus. Captain Linn won a first in the hammer throw and a third in the shot put. Moore placed first in a fast quarter mile, while George Kerr, Pitt's best distance man, could do no better than a second in the two mile. Bob Marquis, coming distance runner, was third to Kerr in the two mile run, and Grindlc and Talbot were third in the javelin and broad jump. Four of Pitt's best athletes were sent to Harvard to take part in the Intcrcollcgiatcs. Those making the trip were Captain Tiny Linn, weight man; Gibby Welch, weight man; George Kerr, who ranks next to Ted Corbett as one of the best distance men Pitt has ever had; and iimmy Moore, colored sprinter. These men failed to place, but Welch and Linn were far from eing outclassed, and hope is held for the next time they arc sent to the big show. The Penn State meet in the Pitt Stadium on Saturday, June 5, was a landslide that buried the Pitt team by a lead of almost a hundred points. The Center County lads placed in one, two, three order in the hundred, two-twenty, quarter, 8S0, mile, and two mile runs. In the seven field events, Pitt fared much better, winning the shot-put, javelin, discus, and pole vault, and placing in the other three. Gibby Welch was again the star of the team, winning ten points, to tic with Moore and Filkins of State for high honors. Gibby won the discus throw, was second to Captain Linn in the shot, and finished third in the javelin and broad jump. Pitt took all three places in the shot put, when Captain Linn placed first, Welch second, and Archibald third. In the javelin, Grindlc was first. J. B. Magee, Pitt, won the pole vault at eleven feet. The manager of the team was Johnny Cost, Bus. Ad. '26. Frank J. Shea, who was Pitt's greatest runner and a member of the 1920 Olympic team, was coach. At the close of the season, Captain Howard Linn, Engineering '27, was re-elected.

The freshmen won the first three dual meets they engaged in and looked like champions until they met the Penn State freshmen, who defeated them by almost thirty points. The Frosh won from Kiski, 78-48; from West Virginia, 75£jr50K; and from Carnegie Tech plcbcs, 88-38. The outstanding men were Pickard, nolcvaultcr, Gwynn, weight man; Wibecan, sprinter; Voight, hurdler; Hoffman, milcr; and Cobun, half-milcr. The Blue and Gold freshmen opened the season on Saturday, May first, winning easily over Kiski. Gwynn won the hammer throw, incidentally breaking Jock Sutherland's mark of 152 feet iy2 inches, with a heave of 153 feet 6}4 inches. Victor Pickard, Olympic pole vaultcr, won firsts for the Panther in the javelin and the pole vault. Wibecan won two first places for Pitt by winning the hundred and two-twenty. In the West Virginia meet, Don Gwynn broke his own hammer throw record of 153 feet 6y inches with a toss of 159 feet lOy inches. Pickard, Wibecan, and Voight each contributed two first places to the cub score, while Hoffman and Williams each won a first place. The Tech meet, on May eleventh, was a feast for the cubs just as it was for the Panther varsity. With the aid of Pickard, Woolcy, Gwynn, Voight, Hoffman, Cobun, Wibecan, Williams, and Shcrako, they took the measure of the Tech plcbcs. Pickard and Wibecan each won two first places. The freshmen met their first set-back at Penn State, May 15, where they were defeated by a score of 80 -54 . However, they revenged the loss by taking eight first places to Penn State's seven. A large number of second and third places won the meet for the Center County frosh. Pickard, Wibecan, and Voight, were the hign scorers, each with two firsts. Gwynn kept up his good work by coming through with a first in the hammer. The Intercollegiate meet held annually by Pitt closed the freshman track season on Saturday, May 22. Only a few events were on the freshmen-prep card, and many of the plcbc cindcrpath men were unable to compete. Gwvnn was among these. Pickard continued his record breaking performances in the pole vault, going over the bar at 12 feet S}4 inches. This jump broke Bill Robusch's carnival record of 12 feet in the vault. Wibecan, who remained undefeated as did Pickard and Gwynn, won the hundred yard dash in easy fashion. Ptge 29S The 192S Ok! The 1926 Cross'Country Season PITT cross-country in 1926 was one defeat after another. The team lost every dual meet and placed twelfth in the I. C. A. A. A. A. Championships, an annual event at New York City, in which twenty-four of the leading colleges of the East compete. In 1924, the Pitt team won the Intercollcgiatcs and last season placed second. However, only two veterans of a previous season were on the 1926 team. The harriers lost the opening meet on October 23 to Carnegie Tech by a 21-34 score. Marquis, however, carried Pitt's colors across the line first to capture individual honors. His time was 30 minutes, 6 seconds. Captain Crawford of Tech was second, followed by three more Tech men. Captain Gorski of Pitt placed sixth; Adams, eighth; Wick, ninth; and Grossett, tenth. This was Carnegie’s first victory over Pitt in cross-country. Penn State, 1926 I. C. A. A. A. A. Champions, came here, October 30, to win over the Panther hill-and-dalc men by an 18-37 tally. George Offenhauser of Penn State broke the Panther course record with 28 minutes, 15 seconds. Stewart and Cox, State, were second and third. Marquis, first of the Blue and Gold runners, finished fourth in 28 minutes, 36 seconds. Captain Ted Gorski came seventh; Adams, eighth; Larson, ninth; and Davis, tenth. Offen-hauscr's time broke Ted Corbett's record of 28 minutes, 18 seconds for the Panther Hollow course. Coach Tom Keane's Syracuse harriers were here on November 6, winning over the Blue and Gold by another 18-37 score. Captain Jimmy Loucks of Syracuse further lowered the Schenley course record, running the 5-3 miles in 27 minutes, 48 seconds. Rupert and Proudlock, his team-mates, were second and third. Marquis, again leading the Panther harriers, finished fourth. Marquis cut down his own best time with a run of 28 minutes, 35 seconds. Captain Gorski, Adams, Grossett, and Larson finished in seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth positions. Campbell and Davis finished thirteenth and fourteenth. This meet closed the season of dual engagements, and the Pitt runners began preparations for the annual intercollcgiatcs Pitt has only one consolation for its showing at the I. C. A. A. A. A. Championship's in New York, November 22, and that is the fact that Carnegie Tech was also beaten. Carnegie placed thirteenth, while Pitt placed twelfth. Penn State was first, scoring 65 points; Syracuse scored 68 points; Yale, 95 points; Harvard, 102 px ints; M. I. T., 145; Pennsylvania, 150; Cornell, 184 Maine, 184; Princeton, 215; Dartmouth, 267; Columbia 318; Pittsburgh, 346; Carnegie Tech, 366. William Cox State, was first in the big race, with Jimmy Loucks Syracuse, third. Pitt's men placed as follows: Mar quis, forty-first; Adams, fifty-seventh; Gorski, seven ticth; Hoffman, eighty-eighth; Larson, ninetieth; Gros sett, one-hundredth; and Davis, one-hundredth and third.

Campbell made up the Pitt team for these meets. Wick pulled a tendon after the first meet and was unable to take part in any of the remaining contests. Hoffman was also out after the first meet due to an infected foot, but he returned in time to make the New York trip. Rob Roy, a member of the 1925 varsity team, who was ineligible in the intercollegiate races due to the University's semester rule, represented Pitt in two A. A. U. championship races. Roy placed twenty-third in thejunior National Championships at Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, on Armistice Day, and was twenty-ninth in the Senior National Cross-country championships at New York City, November 21. The Pitt freshmen team was the best the University has had in years. The frosh won all three dual meets, defeating the Carnegie Tech plcbcs, 20-35; Penn State frosh, 27-28; and Kiski, 15-40, a perfect score. In the Intercollegiate Championships at New York, the freshmen failed to come up to expectations, however, placing only ninth. The frosh were expected to place among the first three. Russell Comfort was the star of the freshman team, winning every race and placing sixth in the Seventh Annual Intercollegiate freshman run. Bill Wherry, Joe Murray, Ben Walker, James Jerpe, James Patterson, and Stewart were the other members of the champion freshman team. Stanford F. Jones was manager of both cross-country teams, and William Ncglcy acted as assistant manager. Psu 300 The mt Owl Top Rnr: Bjrtgn, Slrrent, Cloth, Gerdtn, Loultr, Dr. Supbtns Stxt Rrw: Bturni, D.

The first string racquctccrs astounded the cast by drubbing West Point, Rutgers, Colgate, and Syracuse on successive afternoons. Rutgers was the only team to score a point against the Panthers. Divvy O'Loughlin, Byron Baur, and John O'Loughlin formed the nucleus of Dr. T. W. Stephens' championship combination, filling in the fourth man with either Bourns or Laulcr. Stevens, Clark, and Gordon teamed up in the doubles matches. Coach Stephens alternated the first three players as the first singles man and only used these stars in doubles competition for practice before the eastern trip. Clyde Barton managed the team. Besides their decisive victories in the cast, the Panther court stars permitted Carnegie two points, which were registered in the doubles after the Pitt first-stringers had assured a victory in the singles matches. Pitt drubbed Buckncll and Allegheny twice, Dickinson, Westminster, West Virginia Wesleyan, Carnegie, and the Alumni once, while the second matches carded with Tech and Westminster and the match with Penn State were called off on account of rain. With every member of the first four some available for two more years, Pitt's success is assured on the tennis courts. The 1927 junior varsity stars should again repeat their enviable record of last year. THE SEASON'S RECORD Pitt .6 ... 0 Pitt 4 Carnegie 2 5 ... 1 Pitt Penn State 6 ... 0 Pitt 5 W. Va.

Hartir, Htrmr, Hall, Cram Rifle Team THE Varsity Rificrs, with four of the six letter men from the preceding successful season as a nucleus, and with three other regulars and five men of varsity ability from the freshmen team to complete the squad, excelled in performance any previous Panther rifle team. During the first semester the Blue and Gold Sharpshooters tallied twelve victories against three defeats. Although Pitt competed against the best collegiate rifle teams in the cast, it totaled five hundred more points than its opponents. In the last match of the first semester season, the Panthers tied the University record of nineteen hundred and seventeen points out of a possible two thousand. Owing in part to the loss of Ken Diver and Bob Atkinson, outstanding shots of the sophomore class, the team was less fortunate in the second semester. After two matches were lost, one to Navy and one to C. C. N. Y., the team improved remarkably, principally through the efforts of the coach, Paul Harter. Prospects for next year arc unusually bright; nearly every marksman developed by the University during the past three years will be eligible for varsity competition. Pitt—1859. Pitt-1859.

It has come almost to mean the participation of the few to the deprivation of the many. We have emphasized our national, community, and school heroes in all lines of sport to such an extent that we have lost sight of the true value of sports. We admire the man who plays for the joy of playing, who backs his team in every honest way, always dealing fairly with his opponents, who learns to correct his faults through his failures, who is generous, honest, true to his highest ideals, and who plays hard until the game is over. It is the qualities of sportsmanship rather than expertness in some particular branch of sports that arc of lasting value. Since the University holds as its purpose the development of useful citizens and future leaders in this community the encouragement of sports can do much to further this ideal. Properly directed sports have a strong influence on every side of the individual's character. The man who plays fairly most often lives more cleanly than the man who docs not obey the rules of sport. The sportsman's view of the world is broadened; he can discover companionship and solace in vital living things. Margaret A.

At the close of the season, the twelfth annual co-ed basketball banquet was held in the Heinz House. Songs, cheers, and speeches by the coach and prominent members of the team were the order of the evening. Miss Margaret McClcnahan, co-ed athletic coach, awarded Pitt blankets to Captain Ruth Stultz and Dorothy Russel for four years' service on the varsity. Venus Shakarian and Dorothy Koch were awarded gold basketballs for three years’ varsity service. Letters and sweaters were given to Sara Long, Edna Winters, Prances Amburson, Gertrude Cromer, and Grace Austen. Numerals SjP were given to Grace O'Donnell, Mabel DeForest, Marv Johnson, Elizabeth Davis, and Ruth Thompson, assistant manager. Record of the Season The intramural co-eds have no stadium in WHICH TO PLAY THEIR GAMES; NEITHER DO THEY HAVE CHEERING CROWDS TO SPUR THEM ON; THEY STAGE EXCITING CONTESTS ON THE PRACTICE HELD WHILE MOST OF US ARE SLEEPING. Intra'Mural Sports THIS year, Pitt co-cd intramural activity attained such importance as to almost supplant intercollegiate games. Nearly seven hundred girls took part. Seventy-six teams were organized under the direction of Miss Margaret McClcnnahan to compete in hockey, volley ball, and basket ball. W. A. A. manages intra-mural activity. Playing some games at six o'clock in the morning, the seniors, captained by Venus Shak-arian, won the hockey interclass championship. The juniors, with Dorothy Koch as captain, were runner-up, followed by the sophomores and freshmen. Doris Saurman captained the sophs and Francis Ambursen led the frosh. Miss McClcnnahan and Miss Sefton refereed the contests, and Dorothy Koch took charge for W. A. A. The sophomores won the volley ball league contest, followed by the freshmen, juniors and seniors. Katherine Hazlctt was general chairman and manager of the volley ball league, while Lillian White, senior, Leah Blucstonc, junior, Esther King, sophomore, and Anita Guiliana managed their respective class teams. Miss Sefton coached and referred all games. The first year co-eds were winners in the cage league. The juniors, sophomores, and seniors followed in order. Margaret Lawton was general manager of the floor league. Jeannette McClure managed the senior class team, Edna Winters had charge of the juniors, .Viable DeForest of the sophomores and Alcnc Gurney of the frosh. For the first time, archery was placed on the co-cd intramural cards by W. A. A. as a minor sport. Lillian Kirsch, general manager, arranged an exhibition by Robin Hood Mooney, nationally famous archer. The enthusiasm displayed by the co-eds at this exhibit prompted W. A. A. to include archery as a major sport for next year. Besides these sports, swimming, baseball, golf, hiking and tennis events arc carried on by the girls, The swimming schedule, under the management of ; ® Winifred McClure, terminated in an inter class t. swimming meet early in the spring. Grace j O Donnell is in charge of baseball, Janet Mathison of golf, Helen Cashdollar of hiking, and Dorothy Russell of tennis. I AM alone in a strange place. Each day during these seven years I have played a part in a dream. I have conic here each day to haggle with the vendors of fruit, knowing always that it is not really I who comes to this place of hazed sunlight and slow movement. I tread insecurely, fascinated by the strangeness of the deep-set corner. 1 am afraid lest they speak to me and ask me roughly Who arc you to be here ? I am aware of the unreality of my corner. In the early morning when there arc long shadows and clear, sharp noises, my footsteps ring metallically on the pavement. Only a few of them arc moving about. At noon they arc hurrying and gesticulating, their faces arc deeply scared with worries, these little people that I watch so insecurely. But it is only when the sun again casts long shadows that there is peace for them. And there is a hush and a warmth upon them. I shall never reach out my hand to touch them, and they will never vanish, I shall always be here alone, and the sunlight will be warm on my face and my eyelids. But through all this I know that it is not really I who comes to this place of hazed sunlight and slow movement to play a part in a dream. p g,yx T n im Owl JUNIORS T 7E have passed beyond many'crifles and many small banners.

Now he has slipped through the massy door to the hush of the great arches. Many times he has sat in the warm glow of a hearth fire, but never has he felt the chill mystery of the silent aisles. He is alone except for a few wanderers who have traveled during many years to reach this dwelling-place of heavenly calm. And now they arc calm. But the arches of the nave set his soul yearning and his body reaching, and a great breath stirs in his inmost being. He must move away to the peace of warm sunshine which falls through the storied windows, but millions of tiny panes have twisted the light into prisms of color so that it lies shattered like his soul upon the marble pavement. The choir is not empty for a few little men and women kneel praying on rosaries of winged iambics. Above the clustered pillars an organ sings sometimes a thundering choral rhapsody that must make his body shout and his soul exult, sometimes it is a thin minor melody, the strange, sad notes drifting through the forest of archways to beat themselves out into silence against the vaults. He must get away, for his soul is a grotesque thing which finds no expression here. Now he is clinging to the tallest pinnacle of the cathedral with the blue sky all around him and the little children infinitely small below, and he sees a dog bark but he cannot hear him. He sits there in the blue radiance carving out his gargoyle.

Amos, believing, as she docs, in the young woman of today, sets out on a grand tour, to prove whether this Campus, or any Campus, so conceived or so dedicated, can long demure. Her retinue, body-guard, slaves, and regalia bearers were made up of John R. Johnson, Helen E. Rush, the mail boys and Mr. Samuel Altschuler. by this time Helen Rush felt her daily urge for a cocoa-cola, so the gay little party turned in Ben Moses just to please her. Imagine John Johnson's perturbation at seeing Don Brown telling Harrison where to get off. Dan B. tilling W. Dan telxrt ta git aff Up the hill they skipped laughing merrily at the birds and bees and flowers; they were happy in the thought that the May Queen was soon to be crowned. As they peeped around a corner of the Heinz House they saw Bill Morrell in Paradise. The dear little fellow was reading a paper on Life At Pitt, to the blessed damoscls.

Dean Amos removed her blindfold just as they were passing the Zeta Tau Alpha hovel and there she saw Frances extending a coy invitation to Horse to come and have tea with the house mother. But Horse, loyal Pittite that he is, refused to break training. As they proceeded down the long stadium steps, the attention of party started to cross to the faculty club when their attention was arrested bv a prolonged wailfrom J.G.Quick. And there running along Terrace street were the Freshmen. The cruel radians had wrested the pushball from the meek and helpless sophomores. They were, however, closely pursued by Herb Dent, but due to the encouragements of Anncmaric, the Frosh made away with it. They stumbled up to the Faculty Club and burst in upon Percy Hunt and Freckles Gab-bert, swinging in the draperies. Dean Amos was properly incensed, you may be sure. Morrell sent quickly for a camera man. When questioned, he divulged that he would use the picture to illustrate the next edition of Lift at Put. What that publication needs, Morrell remarked, arc some true to life campus scenes. CUltly panned by Herb Drat As the hour was growing late everyone was anxious to get through and over to Mor-lein's for dinner. So down to the lot they went to see the men digging up the school. You can only imagine their pleasure to discover Mr. Stone himself, gallantly attempting a rescue of Ruth Crawford Mitchell from Mr. Webster, who had scooped her up in an idle steam shovel.

The 192S Owl Pagt 419 Peergrinations OF Sherlock Holmes “Well, we’re here, deduced Sherlock Holmes, as they started down the chimney. “What a stimulus, murmured John Watson, the imminent behaviourist. How much further is it? I don’t care, flung back Sherlock, whisking live coals from his cars. Why is a mouse when it spins? And they landed with a plop on the sweet hearth of Sigma Chi. A pathetic chorus arose. A cork in the cellar, tcc-hcc, tcc-hcc. “Where arc we? reacted John. But the famous detective was already in that famous hunting dog pose. He was pointing. Camels, he barked. A tribute to their friends' judgment. Sherlock's eyes bloated and unbloatcd, as was their wont. Ah-ha-a-a-a! he cried, bursting into raucous paroxysms of cynical laughter. Ah-ha-a-a-a! cried John Watson, infamous behaviourist, clutching his throat in the best psychological manner. But Sherlock was hot already. To YOUR eyes, and to the eves of the ordinary observer, that speck of red paint on AI Lee's nose is of no significance; but that is Ben Moses' BRAND. Two girls must have brought it here because none but girls and brothers arc allowed in the house. Al must have known those girls, said Watson sagely. That's entirely unnecessary. They must have been Chi O's.” Say, what arc we doing here anyway? “We arc looking for the Pi Phi pledge. They mislaid her. The matter is of grave importance.” Johnny, however, was swinging from the chandelier by his toes, having the time of his life. Watson, said Sherlock testily, such childish activity hardly becomes you. A person would almost think you were a Kappa Sig.” Oh, sir, wept Johnny. Not that! Antyhing but that! Well, perhaps not a Kappa Sig, but at any rate, a Lambda Chi Alpha, said the famous dctcc................................. ' ' ' looking lad can help us. Who arc you, boy? You haven't seen the Pi Phi pledge around, have you? She wore a pink hair ribbon, suggested Watson. I’m too young, sir, answered little Rollo. You use the wrong tactics, Watson. The great detective could be very severe in his criticism. You should have first startled him into consciousness. We may as well keep on walking now. Is that what we're doing? I beg your pardon, Watson. I realize I should have explained it to you. The unpracticcd eye might readily come to believe that we were playing chess, but if you had only taken care to discern the absence of the chess board, you would have realized that we were walking, not merely moving. Is it true, Sherlock, that the Phi Gam A. C. is majoring in Political Science? Watson, use the needle yourself. How could you have come by such a fantastic idea? Shall I use the usual dope?” No. Leave the Theta Chi's out of this. Better use a local anaesthetic. Try that Theta Dclt over there.” No good. It's too fresh. The gaunt figure of the vacant lot next to Scotland Yard cringed perceptibly. Sometimes it seemed as if he could not go on. With a visible effort, he socked Watson on the jaw. “You will perceive, Watson, he twittered, “that that was not an ordinary sock. It was a golfing sock, to be definitely distinguished from gonionemus by the absence of a velum and the arrangement of the gonads. Watson could not help but marvel at the man’s efficiency, which was the result of training received with the Phi Eps during rushing season. Their methods were the most thorough that he had ever witnessed; they overlooked nothing; and, if, like the Northwest Mounted they got their man, it was not the child's fault; his parents should have given him a better home training.

He: Let us dance. (Exit dancing) SCENE II (Pale palm trees melt against a lurid sky) CURTAIN Mr. Shaw has purposely limited the cast to two in order that the play may be done full justice.

P l 4H Tit 192S Owl Alice In Blunderland BUT,” said Alice to the dice, why do they call it Pitt? The dice spun around as if they had been struck by lightning. ' Dummy,” they screamed, Pitt is the thing that Pitt is named after.” Alice considered the matter, but in the end she gave it up. It, however, did not like the up. Then they came to a seemingly endless flight of stairs on the side of a steep mountain. “This is the way to knowledge,” they told her. Alice looked up aghast. ”If I climb up there every day will I become educated? “Well, at least, you will become pretty dam’ tired, and education a-mounts to the same thing. Put why should people get educated if they simply become weary of all things? They don’t, confided the dice. Don't what,” asked Alice. Who's whatting? answered the dice nastily. Alice thought Perhaps Whatting was the name of a general in the Hundred Years war, but she was not sure and did not like to sav so. Instead she smiled sweetly at the professor and, after pulling on a pair of chiffon stockings, crossed her legs just above the knee; whereat the professor understood tnat she was a bright pupil and he gave her an A for the course. Well,” said Alice, when she saw the A. What do you mean! shouted the right die. (sic.) She means well, said the left die. Qr c.) (HJ. Note: We realize that singular of dice is douse,” but we feel obliged to humor this fellow along. He needs humoring.) We must hurry, said the dice, or we shall be late for an 8:30 class. Why, vou are late already. It is now 8:40. And Alice showed them her new wrist ivatch on which she had already paid three installments. No we're not. Classes scheduled on the half hour start at seven minutes after the half hour. How silly, thought Alice. But anyway they arc late. No one is ever late for an 8:30,” said the dice impatiently, reading her mind. It just isn't being done, and don't let us tell you again. No matter what time they come, no one is But Alice screamed. Why did you interrupt us? demanded the dice. You told me not to let you tell me again. The dice shot her three times through the heart, and Alice began to cry bitterly, as if her heart was broken. The dice did not know how to console her, but they decided to take her on a tour of the campus. The Y. M. C. A. gave each member of the party an alpen-stock and a rope before they set out. Here is Alumni Hall, they told her. What kind of a hall is a lumni hall? she queried brightly. The dice called for a silent prayer before they entered the building. They, nevertheless, entered. Oh, there is a ribbon clerk from Piccadilly Circus, cried Alice, and cried and cried and cried. He looks like he is from a circus perhaps, but he is not, so far as we know. He teaches English, and sets down inexorable laws for the operation of the language, whispered the dice. Tbi 1921 Out P'f.' 4i7 “Why doesn't he teach American? asked Alice. “We often wish he would. It’s just swank, that's all. Swank. He thinks English, particularly mid-Victorian English, is better than American. “Is it?” “Of course, answered the dice peevishly, but what difference docs that make? In a short time they were climbing stairs again. Arc we ascending to Heaven? Alice wanted to know. The dice looked at her critically. “If you looked a bit more like little Eva, we might get away with it; but I guess not. Let us go to the Heinz house instead. That's just as good as Heaven. As Wit and Humor of 1907 says, there isn't a damned soul there. Such good wholesome girls. I'm sure you won't like it.” “Well,” said Alice again. And this time the dice were sure that she meant well. Anyone who goes to the Heinz house docs. Who arc these grinning gillies here? Arc they dressed up for an Ibsen play? asked Alice. “They arc sorority girls, and these arc their own clothes, she was told. They arc very clever, and charming, and active. If vou don't believe us, ask them.” “And who arc those boys with tf e big heads and the pretty sneers? “They arc the cream of the campus, supposedly, but really the best stuff on the campus is only skim milk. But why do they all wear their coats open? Most of them do it to show their fraternity pins, but some of them have to keep cool. They think that they arc hot men.” O father, I see a gleaming light. O pray, what may it be? That is a graduate assistant. He is a very bright boy. And arc those wooden shacks a part of the university?” No, said the dice, and rolled a seven just for luck. That first one is the Kappa Sig book store, and the others arc the stables for the dental students. And what is that eating place in the basement of the dental school? That's a gambling joint. You take a chance on everything you pick out, and, when you arc through picking, you lose a lot of money. It is a lot of fun. Now if you arc a good girl and stop asking questions for five minutes, we will take you to see the stadium, which is a very grand sight. The stadium is very concrete,” said Alice. I shall use it in an English theme.” The dice shot her again, and this time they meant it. FINIS Psff 4iS Tin 192S Owl Pittsburgh Printing company 530-534 Fernando Street, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Winter weather makes possible a degree of cold-bloodedness that is never found in football. Besides, sports have such an influence on the English language.

Grabbing a tray she tripped down the aisle. And then she saw him! She had stretched out her hand— and into it fell a hot potato. But, ha! ha! what cared she. Sloppy Sonia was in love. It was the man with the ladle, she had seen his picture in the Panther. He looked steadily into her eyes, Soup, lady?” Yes,” she trembled, I'll have soup.” Chapter II Sonia was born in Sheboygan. Her father was born in Sheboygan. People were always being born there. Sheboygan was like that. At the age of two Sonia spit in her father's eye. It was too horrid. She thought she would scream. Two years later she matriculated at Pitt and took a course in testimonial writing for the University. Then she met Tuffy. He ladled soup in the cafeteria. It was too much. (Get it).

Except for the wail of a misplaced semi-colon in Hunt's office, not a sound floated across the campus. Suddenly a warm breeze came up; it was not long before the rest of the directors arrived. [There is hardly any doubt in the editor's mind as to the last statement. But we must hurry on]. It was common knowledge that wise men had met for serious business. [This seems ludicrous now]. Dean Harrison opened the meeting with a short, snappy, prayer, Either you will or get out, and put the meeting on a more intellectual basis. With almost no slobbering the meeting got under way. After discussing the mortgage on Alumni Hall and the pensioning of Gumshoe Bill known to his admirers as The Butt Retriever it was decided to move part of the dental school and a few of the intellectual departments to the stadium since the varsity men were beginning to grumble.

Every University student knows this well, particularly as it applies to preparation for a career, and it applies with no less aptness and importance to the acquisition of financial knowledge and the establishment of habits of economy. At the COMMONWEALTH, where we serve many thousands of people in the various stratas of prosperity, we daily see that those who save most successfully are the ones who have the forward look—who plan their savings efforts in advance and therefore save with a purpose. Always this bank’s officers are glad to co-operate with any people who wish to make definite, workable savings plans.

It’s the feeling of trust and faith you have in yourself, in others, in the tools you work with. Confidence can be misplaced; it often is. You may overrate your own powers—some do. A friend may prove false—they sometimes do. The tools you use in your vocation may be unfit to bear the stress of hard work; may have been made to sell, not to serve. That also occurs. The first two arc largely under your own control. You can get a fair idea of your own abilities by measuring yourself alongside of the people you meet. You will soon learn to recognize those who know more than you know, and those who can do things you cannot do. It’s an interesting and illuminating study, a good habit to form. It keeps you from becoming unduly conceited, because you get a truer measure of your own powers, a better-grounded judgment of others, and so prevents forming friendships on too slight a foundation. As to the tools you work with, your confidence need never be misplaced. Most of the dentists now at the top arc using S. S. White tools. You can do no better now than to accept their judgment; as you get experience, you will know it is sound. The House never made a catchpenny device. Whatever it makes is fully guaranteed. The S. S.

An experienced bridge technician may solder thirty thousand bridges in five years. It is the skill developed by this constant repetition that makes the dental laboratory invaluable to the busy dentist. But manual dexterity must be supplemented by knowledge, wide experience with different methods, and the use of scientific equipment. The Miller Idea is to pick the best technicians that money can procure, pro vide them with the best equipment that money can obtain, and so to organize the laboratory that there is no waste motion, and nothing to distract the mind of the technician from his one job of doing the best work he knows how.

One day as it was scanning the horizon it noticed that an anchorite had taken up his holy abode upon the Concrete Mixer for the Cathedral. The staff climbed to the top and discovered Roy Hamlin, the Sage, mortifying himself in the best monastic manner. Seeing his condition we asked him for a dissertation. Spoke he thus: Beds were designed for sleeping in at night. Now that it is no longer the custom to sleep at nights their place has been largely taken by movie theaters, telephone exchanges, classrooms, Congress, and pews. It is felt that there arc many more interesting things to do at night. Beds arc made of different materials. Flower beds arc not the only ones that arc made of earth—so arc river beds. Boarding house beds arc made of stone—hence the expression ''bedrock.' Bv the same analogy children arc said to be rocked to sleep. Sometimes grown people arc rocked to sleep.

MELLON NATIONAL BANK Editor's Noth: We thanked the Sage Roy Hamlin and were about to climb down from the Concrete Mixer, but he raised his holy hand piously and disserted in this manner upon a subject which seemed mightily important to him, the Sage Roy Hamlin: Bath tubs serve many useful purposes, not the least of which is to distinguish Saturday from the other days of the week. They arc also used for washing the dog, for sleeping in when two company bedrooms arc required, for storng, coal, and for developing a fine tenor voice. One has been used on occasion to hold champagne, but this is felt to savor of ostentation. Bath tubs arc usually located inside the house. It was really rather eccentric who advertised for a furnished room with bath on car line.” There is another incident which might suggest a desire for a combined air and water bath, but possibly it may be otherwise explained: a modest gentleman confessed that it humiliated him horribly to sec his family washing in the yard. ®lje f tttaburgli Araitemy ESTABLISHED I 882 53I WOOD STREET PITTSBURGH, PA.

For Legg had done something that had never been done before at Tech. He had corralled the picture of a transient phenomenon. Translated, that means he bad been able to photograph the electrical disturbance resulting from the closing and opening of a circuit breaker. From that moment the story of the modern oscillograph is synonymous with the storv of Joseph Willard Legg, E. E. ’ 16. L««s novel experiment was accomplished by a form of remote control rigged up for the college laboratory’s oscillograph. Soon the Westinghouse Company ordered one of his controls. And it was natural that Legg should follow his device to East Pittsburgh the next autumn, after he graduated. First in the Research Department, then in the Material and Process Department, he continued tosolveos-allograph problems. The oscillograph films the records of electric current by means of an apparatus of surpassing delicacy. The most modern type, for instance, has a vibrator strip that is 53 100,000 of an inch thick—the diameter of a human hair. It contains a mirror 17 1000 of an inch wide. But before Legg began his study, the oscillograph, itself, was a clumsy contrivance weighing almost half a ton. He prosed that a compact oscillograph, operated ssith an incandescent lamp, was practicable; first, svith a three-element model (one that will record the action of three phenomena at the same time) weighing about 13 5 pounds. This was in 1917. More recently a nine-element oscillograph weighing only too pounds has been developed. And, acme of creative genius, Legg has just produced a baby one-element oscillograph, called the OS I SO— which weighs but Vt pounds! For good measure, Legg designed a holder for load- fjT “ H'het't the future with t Urge trgemzetienf The! it tehet ett ege men amt tt fee«• f.nt � f ell.

As a result of these advances, power companies are saved enormous expense in learning vital characteristics of their circuits— and in solving problems faced by their plants. For instance, by devising a way to automatically record chance disturbances on pow er lines, I-egg has made it possible with the OSISO to start recording a picture l ioco of a second after lightning causes a flash. And so it goes at Westinghouse with many college men — not just one or a few—but with hundreds throughout the organixation. They do their part in advancing the electrical industry while they ply their profession amid unlimited opportunity for creative work.

Now we shall bound ourselves, limit ourselves, extend ourselves: at the top of the colyum we have boldly placed our filler; at the bottom of the colyum will rest our last line! The name Hcpatica Ginsberg should fill out this colyum. Damn it, it didn't, short again! To Alianora the night lay still as the typewriters in her father's office and the stars were silent like kittens dead after small boys' tormenting. During all the day she had had nothing to do but watch the robins prepare for the coming of three little tiny birdies who would bring them together again.

It was heartbreaking. The rose-bush refused to be comforted and dripped maddeningly upon the old tom-cat who was too lame to venture forth from beneath it and must sit under the drip while his fur got wetter and wetter. —Bunnemurrie I must crush the mountains against My chest, screaming. I must wash my feet in cool Streams, and hear the raucous Cry of lore-sick hens. -Eskimo Igloo. In an organdie dress she goes to town. And the boys they kick her dog around, Her organdie hat is flapping wide. And its shady brim slim corkscrews hide. And her organdie bow is big and broad. And Grandmother calls her old-fashioned Maude. —One of the Poys BITTER SWEET Little Apples in The trees are happy in The thought that they will soon be ap- Pie sauce —Blah The I92S Otel Pap 471 The Weekly Pass Provides travel for you all over the city 7T It supplies the most convenient means of riding ever devised — no bother with tokens or cash, and the use of either door adds to its popularity. Last year the average carfare in Pittsburgh was only 5.37 cents, compared with 6.73 cents in 1923. These figures indicate the great strides the Weekly Pass has made in lowering Pittsburgh’s transportation cost.
