It would be needless to go into de- tail over our accomplishments as Sopho- mores. We came back fewer in num- bers but still possessed of the same old will to do spirit. There was a fresh- man class to acclimate, and we obliged with a vengeance. When the call for candidates for the University football team went forth, 1929 responded with great gusto, and soon had three men playing on the most famous football team that Brown has had for many years. This was the well known Iron Man team of 1926, which was a claimant for the mythical Eastern Championship. Al Cornsweet at full- back and Ed Kevorkian and Lew Far- ber in the line, played splendid football and received no little recognition. And so on throughout the year. We had men on every team representing the University, including the undefeated wrestling and tennis teams. Quite an FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE FIGHT achievement, and one of which we are justly proud. Our Junior year was but a repetition of the success of the two preceding years. There is little use of recounting our continuous athletic and scholastic triumphs. Success was ours for the asking, and from our records one would gather that we asked quite a bit, for we surely were successful. Our Junior week program was resplendent with innovations and surprises. As the close of this wonderful year drew near, many of us looked with re- gret on the thought that we were to have but one more year on the Hill. However, we all had a determined desire to make that last year the best that any class in the history of the University has ever experienced. And then at last we were Seniors. We had reached the goal for which we had been striving with so much effort, and were prepared to take advantage of every opportunity that was open to us. The various campus publications and organizations seemed to ex- perience a Renaissance when placed under our control. Vigorous new policies and reforms were instituted by the Managing Boards of the Daily Herald and Brown Jug and those fine periodicals had truly successful years. Our Cammarian Club startled the rest of the University by abolishing the Freshman Cap and the Vigilance Committee at one stroke. Truly a far-sighted innovation, and one which augurs well for the maturing of college men. No longer were Brown freshmen to be considered and treated as babies. Our Senior Frolic Committee gave us a very nice affair and our class day and spring day committees dld equally well. The last of our college days were absolutely the finest days that we had eVeY' '?XDer1enced. Long afternoons of well-deserved leisure were our reward for the hard- working afternoons that we had spent during the three previous years. Pleasant associa- tions with many of our fellows whohad been too busy in the past to become real friends, gave us a real insight into the worth of those whom we are pleased to call classmates. As we look back over our college career of four pleasurable years, we have no regrets and can see nosorrows. Truly all of us have had disappointments and set-backs, but they have been trivial when compared with the great amount of satisfaction that we have had while at Brown. There are none of us who, if given the chance, would not enter Brown willingly again as freshmen and we can justly say that- We are ever true to Brown . . . 24

Ar5llE 1ll. li L T55 fra ' Z Iii 'lhdllxil' ARTHUR GRAY ABRAMS A X A Art Grantwood, N. J. Here is a man everybody knows and likes. His four years at Brown have been well spent, for he is an energetic and accom- plished scholar, is active in collegiate affairs, and is ambitious to the Nth degree. Although we usually look with alarm at men coming from Jersey, we make allowances in Art's case and don't hold it against himg let's hope more men of his calibre and char- acter are admitted to Brown from that mosquito-infested place. Harvard Law School will probably claim Art after graduation, as he has always had a peculiar respect for the law and its course. Art's out for bigger and better things, and if brains and ability mean success-well, he's already successful. Lacrosse Team 123 183 143: Liber Bruncnsis Board 123 133 143, Editor-in-Chief 143:Dean's List 1.93. DAVID ALDRICH Dave Providence, R. I. Dave is one of those fellows whose friendship is hard to make, even harder to break, and consequently of more value than the ordinary kind. He has no middle name, but if he did possess one, it would most certainly be Sincerity. Art claims most of Dave's spare time and his accomplishments with palette and brush promise to bring credit to himself and to his class. Economics Club 133 1.63. FRANK SOUTHWORTH ALLEN, JR. A X A Snuffy North Grafton, Mass. To Worcester Academy goes the credit for sending us Snuify the dreamer. Snuii' lies in bed longer and dreams more dreams than any student of Brown has ever done in the history of the University. However, these dreams are productive of great results, for, we understand, that it is while so occupied that Snuff solves all the didticult Math and Ec problems that confront him. A student, scholar, and judge of good women, Snuii' will undoubtedly succeed in this world and live happily in the next. Brown Jug Board 123 133 143: Mathematics Club 123 133 U43. JAMES ARCHIBALD, JR. A T 'fJim Pottsville, Pa. The stocky, little Hercules from Pottsville, who arrived via the Porcelain Limited 1club-car and observation3, has been stumbling upstairs for four years. Outside of commuting from Wheelock's, Jim enjoys being aroused at 3 A. M., and developing a phenomenal taste for socks. His rugged beard and massive brow give command to that classic phrase- Take it easy, boys, the British are com- ing! 26
