THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWO Dedication To OLIVER McCLINTOCK, PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE CLASS OF 1915 DEDICATES THIS FIRST YEAR- BOOK IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF FORTY-THREE YEARS OF SERVICE SPLENDIDLY RENDERED TO THIS COLLEGE, AND AS A FITTING COMMENTARY OF THE ESTEEM IN WHICH THEY HOLD THIS MAN OF STERLING WORTH. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE THREE THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE FOUR Biography of Mr. McClintock OLIVER McCLINTOCK was born October 20, 1839, on Pitt (now Fifth) Street, near Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh. Graduating from Yale College in 1861, he chose to follow in the business founded by his maternal grandfather, Samuel Thompson in 1807, and was taken into partnership by his father in 1 862. He continued in the ancestral business fifty-two years, until his retirement in 1914. Speaking of his education he said: I graduated from Yale in 1861, a year of stirring national events and profound impressions. I received the degree of B.A., which, as now, was ' thrown in ' along with my diploma. Following the collegiate custom of those days, in 1864 I took the degree of M.A. ' in course. That is, it was automatically given to a graduate, conditional upon his having behaved himself for three years and paid a fee of five dollars to the college treasurer. I invested my five dollars with the satisfaction of feeling that an M.A. was the only thing I knew of which had not advanced to double or triple its former price, because of the Civil War. An M.A. seemed very cheap at the price. But that method of handling degrees has passed. An M.A. is now given, only as an honorary award for post-graduate work of a specified quanity, or quality, or in recognition of some notable achievement in art, literature, or science. It is therefore now prized as a certificate of achievement, or attainment, and a valuable adjunct to one ' s name. My M.A., at five dollars, was not a successful investment, for, having chosen a mercantile life, I never found any advanage in it, other than the enrichment of the college treasury to the extent of five dollars. It was not even transferable for a consideration. But, joking aside, and speaking seriously, gratitude for my college education, combined with a sense of Christian obligation for service to my fellow men, made me a warm friend of education. I felt it to be my Christian duty to give of my best efforts for its promotion. Associated with my brother-in-law, Mr. Albert H. Childs, and prompted, perhaps, by a somewhat selfish purpose of securing for our sons a home preparation for college, we took the initial steps in 1883 which founded the Shady Side Academy. I was elected a trustee of the Western Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church in 1867 and have not been discharged. In 1872 I was elected a trustee of the Pennsylvania College for Women, and have had the honor of being continued in that capacity to the present time. I was made president of its Board of Trustees in 1905. During that period of forty-three years, which covers almost its entire history, the college has passed through many vicissitudes and difficulties, but our courage and faith were stimulated to over- come them, and we have the satisfaction of feeling that the college is today at the highest point of success in its history. There is no activity of my life of which I am so proud as my connection with the Pennsylvania College for Women. I thoroughly believe there is no field of human effort that is nobler, or contributes a more permanent and valuable usefulness to society, than that of promoting a sound and Christian education for young women and young men. I am therefore proud of the past history and achievement of the Pennsylvania College for Women and of the wide recogni- tion and appreciation its work is now receiving. I have also strong confidence that we are on the threshold of still greater achievements in the future, to which every friend and loyal daughter of the college should stand ready to lend a hand, as the developments of God ' s Providence may indicate. THE PENNSYLV.ANI.AN PACE FIVE THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE SIX John Carey Acheson, LL.D. President Biography of Dr. Acheson JOHN CAREY ACHESON. LED., lately inaugurated as President of Pennsylvania College for Women, was born in Fairfield, Iowa, on May 30, 1870. He was graduated from Centre College, Danville, Ky., in 1898, taking his M.A. degree in 1900. In 1913, the degree of LE.D. was conferred upon him by the Central University of Kentucky. In 1900 Dr. Acheson married Miss Mary Virginia Berry of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Acheson was educated at the Western College, Oxford, Ohio, and is much and prominently interested in educational work. In the educational field Dr. Acheson has had wide experience. Beginning as Instructor in Greek at Caldwell College, he later became Associate Principal of Centre College Academy, Principal of Harrodsburg Academy, and in 1902 was made President of Caldwell College at Danville, Ky., which latter institution was re-named Kentucky College for Women. From this field of activity Dr. Acheson was called to the Presidency of Pennsylvania College for Women. Not only m educational work, but also in civic and religious spheres, is Dr. Acheson actively interested. He has been prominent in Y. M. C. A. work for many years. For six years he was Secretary of the Board of Commissioners of the School for the Deaf, appointed by the Governor of Kentucky. Dr. Acheson entered upon his duties as President of Penn- sylvania College for Women, January 1, 1915. In the few months of his presidency his work has been admirably and capably - executed in every department. He has the loyalty, co-operation, and regard of his entire faculty and student body. Under such propitious auspices, we can be truly confident that the welfare of Pennsylvania College for Women is assured and that the fruits of his labor here will be deservedly meritorious.

President of Senior Class, Alumnae Dinner Speech. Our Mary is a merry maid, She has no care or woe; Her laugh is light, her way is bright. Wherever she may go. What is her rule of happiness? Let some one tell who can. But some of us are wondering If it could be — a man! THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE NINETEEN LoRNA Burleigh Edilor-m-Chief of Sorosis. Did you ever hear her talk? Well, we don ' t want to knock. But you ought to hear her talk about her case. We know she ' s sentimental And her thoughts are not all mortal. For her head she carries in the skies. Yet she ' s very wide awake And her ideas up to date, And she ' s full of vim and life and spice. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWENTT Elizabeth Charlotte Cameron Betty — called Bessie by a favored few. President of Student Government. Oh! but she ' s modest, But my! she is sweet, A great source of comfort To all she may meet. You think she is shy? But she knows her mind. She ' s quite independent And firm, but she ' s kind. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWENTY-ONE Janet Douglas Campbell In Map Day Court. Janet, why didn ' t you come to class? Did we have one? Oh! I was engrossed in something else And quite forgot, you know. This is common conversation And the air grows warm. But every frown she soon dismisses With her easy charm. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWE.S ' TY-TWO Grace Mary Davies Secretary of Senior Class. Always a book within her hand, This is our studious one. Of Greek and Latin she is fond And thinks the classics fun. But the books she very quickly hides For the many, many joy rides. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWENTY-THREE Mary Ruth Jeffery Sometimes spelled Jefries. Vice President of Senior Class. Editor-in-Chief of Pennsylvanian. We have a girl in our class And she is wondrous wise. She makes us feel like little worms And open wide our eyes. Her work is truly masterful. Her brain — no common brain, And we believe that very soon She ' ll bring our class great fame. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWENTY-FOUR Jane Johnston Woodland Hall President. Jane is such a clever miss, Likes to parlez-vous; Finds her work in chemistry Much too hght to do. Jane is such a clever miss. But one great fault has she. For Jane does not believe in love. And is, alas! heart free. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWENTY-FIVE Olga Emily Losa President of Omega. Olga ' s hard to write about. And here ' s the reason why: She never talks about herself. But then — she isn ' t shy. She thinks more than she ever says; Peaceful, calm and true. She doesn ' t like to criticize, And her harsh words are few. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWENTY-SIX Virginia Iris Morris Jinn]). President of German Club. Here she comes quite trippingly, Her footsteps never limpingly; Her lunch she eats at hourly Quick and indigestibly. Do you want to hear about a love affair sensational? And a girl who ' s sweetly educational? Come to us for matters informational; Our class is very conversational. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE TWENTY-SEVEN Louise Frances Kindl Captain of Basketball Team. Here ' s a girl who ' s big and strong. She is our star athlete. In sports she does most anything; We can ' t with her compete. Once a week she goes a-slumming Then she sets Spring Alley humming. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT A Revery [LoRNA Burleigh ' 15] Let us pause awhile today, ere leaving College days and all their joys behind. At the parting of the ways a thousand memories Throng our path, recalling well-known scenes: A peaceful, wmdmg road among the trees, A long ascent of steps that mounts the hill. And clear against the sky, our Alma Mater Lifts her ivied walls, serene and lovely; A quaint old sundial stands before her portals. Marking the flight of time unceasingly. These pictures Ne ' er shall be forgot. Four long years we studied here together. Poring o ' er the wisdom of the past. History flung wide her pictured pages And forgotten ages lived again ; Science touched our eyes to keener vision That we might perceive the birh of stars. And the old earth seemed a thing of wonder; Art and music opened realms of beauty. Teaching us to feel the great Creator, Glimpse His power, marvel at His wisdom. What lessons Shall the future teach us? To our teachers who were ever willing. Glad to guide us in the paths of knowledge. Teaching us so much by their example. We can give no fitting thanks. Yet always In our memory we shall prize their counsel; By our future we shall try to tell them That their work has not been all in vain. That we are the better for the learning. Our teachers Were our faithful friends. We have won one gift above all others That we hold the dearest of them all; ' Tis the bond of friendship which unites us. We are glad we ' ve earned it by our labors For we made this golden chain together. Welded link by link, through toil and pleasure; Strong, enduring, gleaming in its beauty. It shall last when all we prize has vanished. Time shall merely add to its fair luster; We need never fear lest it be broken. We have proved Its links of gold. Now ' tis time to leave our Alma Mater. There is work which waits for us to do. And the world is calling. Though we suffer. Though we fail, we must go bravely onward. Living the ideals we formed together. Bringing laurels to our Alma Mater Won by worthy toil. So, ever hopeful For the future, happy in the past. Let us drink this one last toast together : Drink, dear Friends, to life that ' s more than seeming. Drink to all Tve hope some day to be; Joy and love and truth are not mere dreaming. Friends are friends to all eternity! THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE TWENTY-NINE Senior Class History Grace M. Davies GREAT THINGS must all have a beginning. Thus there is recorded in the annals of The Pennsylvania College for Women the appearance of a shining light, which began to dawn in the month of September, Anno Domini, nineteen hundred and eleven. Its brilliance with each succeeding year grew more and more dazzling, until a demand arose for an account of the origin and development of so marvelous a phenomenon. And so we undertake the history of the class of 1915. Just four years ago forty resolute, sincere Freshmen climbed the hill in search of the spring of knowledge and fame. Their steps were firm and their hearts courageous, but beneath so brave an exterior lurked a tiny fear. Realization of all that must be conquered and accomplished within the realms of college halls assailed their hearts. Nor was this fear in the least lessened by certain so-called superiors, the Sophomores. Their cruel, bar- barous hearts showed no pity when they banned all the pretty things dearest to one ' s soul and substituted green hair ribbons. The same inhumanity was evident when the bunch persistently and continuously removed the comfortable furniture from the Freshman den, and left it bare and unhabitable. But the Freshman, with a spirit magnanimous and forgiving, heaped coals of fire upon their heads by entertaining them at the most wonderful party of the year. Who can ever forget the county fair with its wax-works, its premiums for home productions, the circus and side- shows ad infinitum. By this social triumph was won the distinction of being called the most original class. With a feeling not altogether of deliglit, the first year with its troubles and joys came THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE THIRTY to a close. Never to be forgotten, though, is the picnic which our protecting big sister class gave in Highland Park. There everyone was so happy that the farewells which separated such boon com- panions for the long summer months were decidedly tearful. Who can understand the joy of being transformed from an insignificant, misunderstood Freshman to an important, intelligent Sophomore, who has not undergone a like experience? For, as everyone knows, it is the Sophomore class which is responsible for the prosperity of the College, the welfare of the President, the happiness of the faculty, the comfort of the student body, and the initiation of all newcomers into the mysteries of college life. Is It necessary to say that in all particulars we performed these duties zealously and conscientiously? We were especially careful of the Freshmen and long and earnestly did we strive to keep them in the proper path. It must be confessed, though, that it was very difficult to impress them with the reverence which must be shown to the constitution of the class of 1915. Gradually, however, they docilely followed our patient teaching and even the school board has expressed gratitude to us for the result. During this year we lost several of our classmates. They left for various reasons, but we were particularly interested in the one who was caught in the entangling meshes of the tiny Eros. Many were the philo- sophical discussions carried on in the den after this event. All too swiftly the days flew by, and before we knew it we were upper classmen. As Juniors our happiness was not quite unalloyed. But after all, the shadow which crossed our lives drew us together, if possible. more closely. Never before were friendships so true, and surely never before was an Alma Mater more dear to the hearts of her daughters. And yet our spirits surely would have drooped and our courage grown faint with the loss of that much loved friend, our President, if our own Dean had not so bravely taught us: Cod calls His n orf(ers, but carries on His ipor s. During this year our powers of ingenuity were taxed to their utmost, and the brilliant result was the cubist art exhibition. What a hazardous and perilous undertaking it was, no one knows but the members of the class. That the pictures were not enclosed in iron cages and policemen set as their guard is no proof that we were not in momentary dread lest something should happen to these pricelesss treasures. But, as is the case with all enterprises of the class of 1915, no accidents happened, and once more we proved ourselves worthy of the title, the most clever class. Before our careers as Juniors closed most of the girls in the class left, and our original forty was diminished to ten. Some one facetiously suggested that the old ballad — Forty green bottles stood in a line, One fell down, then there were thirty-nine, et cetera — might be sung with entire appropriateness with reference to our class. But it was proudly answered that the class itself was responsible for its size, inasmuch as such high standards of scholar- ship, cleverness and wit were held that it was only a case of the survival of the fittest. Need I review with any great detail the accomplishment of this class as Seniors. Their renown was spread far and wide as the class which does things; as the class which overcomes all obstacles and reaches its goal triumphantly. The first noteworthy deed of the year was the choice of our class day play. Once more, with an individuality peculiarly its own, the class stepped aside from the well-known path of Shakespearean productions and selected a play new to most audiences and fresh in interest. Pomander Walk, with its quaint old-fashioned characters and humorous situations, will be our offer to those interested in dramatics. May we say, but only with great modesty, that the judges in their selection of the cast, remarked that never before in all their experience had they seen such skillful, realistic acting. One might list indefinitely the illustrious deeds of this class. But we have proven, I think, our worthiness for immortality by this one achievement alone — the production of the first year-book in the history of The Pennsylvania College for Women. May it stand as a testimonial of the undying love and pride we have for our Alma Mater, and as a small evidence of the greater things we hope to achieve without the realms of college halls.

THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE THIRTY-THREE Class Prophecy M. R. J. ■ S THE one-time refrain had it: Rip Van Winkle was X a lucky man. Rip Van Winkle went away and slept l for twenty happy years in the mountains, so they say. m I How lucky! Now after an absence of equal length, I had come back and found, as did Rip, that the little old town had changed. Yet I did not count myself fortunate to have been all this time away from home, for home to me had a dearer significance and association than it had to Rip. I repeat that I had come back, now in 1935, to my early haunts not the timid, unsophisticated, demure little creature, as all my girl friends knew me, but a suave Pennsylvania bossess who had dabbled in politics and dramatics, and who came back now to satisfy the longings of a yearning heart. I could not content myself until I had found how the girls of ' 15 (as we still coyly styled ourselves) were progressing. First of all, I decided to look up Mary Estep, only she had added some other name (though she might give me Fitz if I mentioned it). I had an errand downtown the afternoon of my return and as I tramped comfortably along Fifth Avenue, looking from left to right, in the happy assurance of being on my native heath, I saw a trim little blonde approach wearing a huge corsage, and I said: That ' s Mary! — and it was. Of course we were over- joyed at the reunion and after the salutations, etc., began to discuss the rest of our erstwhile classmates. Between us, we could account for them all. Such bonds after twenty years — still united, still devoted. None were missing; all were missed. Janet, I had visited in England. Janet was the wife of a distinguished M.P. I could never forget that visit for I recollect poignantly listening to the famous gentleman ' s three-hour speech on Taxing Tacks. He was a handsome homo, as English homos go — thin, tall, expressionless, but dreamy. Oh! very dreamy. One of such imagination as that with which I was possessed wondered what on earth he dreamed about, he seemed to comprehend so little outwardly. Yet the really great hide their genius, and his loquacious oration on tacks convinced me of his mental soundness. Janet was adoringly happy and they banqueted me hospitably on tea — though, dear knows, I needed a stimulant. Be tty is proving a valuable assistant and helpmate of her military husband, our far-famed American hero whose name is on every patriot ' s tongue — Captain Jones — better and more inti- mately known to us of ' 15 as Jingle-Willy. Betty is reforming and forming anew an invulnerable educational system for Uncle Sam in the Philippines, and those Filipinos certainly do fill up on knowledge. To gaze on that manly form of our brother — by adoption — one is almost forced to deny the appealing truth of that melody of our graduating days: I didn ' t raise my boy to be a soldier. And Lorna, she of whom we expected so much in the line of chemical research, and whose specialization in that line has gone for naught. Yet molasses must be a good foodstuff for Lorna uses it generously in her menus, and, with her knowledge of C. P. food values, we might do well to emulate her. Don ' t THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE THIRTY-FOUR ask me why. You know how lasting are the bonds of friendship. By George, don ' t you, Percy-ve? Louise — ah! our Girl of the Golden West. Well, Frankly speaking, I haven ' t seen Louise for several years now. She is out in the land of sunshine and flowers with the man of her choice, and we fifteeners who seek a harbor from Winter ' s icy blasts always find a welcome in the rose-covered bungalow of our precious friend. Grace, I mean to visit as soon as possible. I told Mary this and she said to me: Now, don ' t be surprised when you go into Grace ' s house. You will notice something strange, I am sure. There are six chairs in her living room, and everyone a Morris chair. Well, we all have our preferences, and if Grace prefers the Morris variety, I am sure we all agree that she has good taste. I just used to tremble when I thought of Jane. How this descendant of Avogadro did imperil her valuable life in performing all sorts of chemical tricks. Passing through a beautiful abiding place of the dead one day I came across this inscription : Requiescit in paces (she rests in pieces ), a stoneographical error of course, but I hastily scratched away the moss obscuring the nameplate and then breathed freely again, as I learned that it was not Jane. But I was assured that after making valuable additions to chemical knowledge she has devoted herself to Moses. Sensible girl! We commend your action heartily. Did you ever hear Harry Lauder sing of the delights of Roamin ' in the Gloarnin ' by (the) Clyde? Well, Virginia outlauders Lauder in lauding it. She can tell you all about it. No longer through the inspiring wanderings of Woodland Road does she roam, but still by Clyde. A worthy monument of faithful and sincere devotion of which the class is justly proud, I comment. And Olga, the tenor of her ways fascinates me. Some one told me one time that Olga wanted to teach kindergarten, but I said: Not so. It would be incongruous. I know the ' tenor. ' I was right. There was a tenor. And now Olga travels far and wide with this successor of the once-famous Caruso and we gladly part with our precious gold to see the famous one whom we proudly point out as the husband of one of our classmates. Thus are we all after twenty years of absence from our Alma Mater — scattered far and wide, but still loyal to the haven of our girlhood. And what care we about the distance to Tipperary, our hearts are at P. C. W. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE THIRTY-FrVE Class Donor Virginia Morris — The Senior den is frequently the scene of lively discussions. One of the most hotly contested was: What must a young man ' s salary be when he takes the fatal step? Even the most economical had agreed that it should not be below the limit of comfort, when Virginia announced with convictions that she had thought it out and that eighty-five dollars would be sufficient in her case. We have our doubts, but there is nothing like trying. Allow me to present you with a cheque for the above named sum which we will carefully watch to see how far it goes. Grace Davies — It was nice to choose something for Grace, for she is interested in a number of things. Greek and motoring are her specialties. But later on Greek may be less interestmg and her interest in the car and its owner mcrease. An auomobile veil is useful and it possesses, as well, certain Grecian lines of beauty when it is ruffled by the breeze. I hope that this veil will accompany you on many happy rides. Mary Jeffery — When Mary leaves P. C. W. she is going to join the G. B. Shaws and the Ziegfelds. With most of the essentials she is well equipped. She can criticize a play, and, still better, write ' em. She is now to be endowed with this monocle with the hope that it will not prove amiss. Keep it well polished and I am sure it will help you, Mary, to shine among the immortals. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE THIRTY-SIX Lorna Burleigh — Place — Lorna ' s room. Time — Two weeks after St. Valentine ' s day. Scene — A table is seen in center of room upon which is a corsage of violets, withered but still tenderly cared for. Lorna, these blossoms (fresh from the millinery counter) accept as an effigy of faded ones. There have been other flowers, we know, but, alas! there will never be any like that first bunch of violets. ' f ' •(• (• rfi r Louise Kindl — Summer is coming and we all like to go away. Louise is like the rest of us. So to insure her a happy vacation I have thought it suitable to give her this mileage ticket. It will take her to California. Why have I chosen California? Let me see. It must have been the exposition that decided it. But, perhaps, the rest of you can think of one other reason. Jane Johnston — I am afraid that Jane has not entirely forgiven several of her classmates for a black mark — in fact the only one she has ever received. The hour was growing late one night when some dignified Seniors and others were lingering over a spread. Sud- denly the door opened and a monitor announced: Girls, it is ten minutes after lights. Alas! Jane had a flight of steps to descend and she arrived in her room quite late. So in deep sympathy we recall the untoward event and present to her an eraser which might remove that mark sometime from the proctor s book when she isn ' t watching. Betty Cameron — Every day we hear the complaint: Isn ' t some one going home with me? I hate to go home alone. At last, Betty, you are to be rescued from the terrors of Woodland Road at twilight. Here is a soldier who will prove a companion until a better one appears. Mary Estep — Vanity, vanity! all is vanity. Thus spoke up the den mirror after the Seniors had glanced therein, and especially as Mary pirouettes before it. But mirrors speak true, Mary, and you will find no safer friend. Ah! speaking of mirrors, a vanity box I have found for you. And in it you will find some poudre de riz that is guaranteed to last from Pittsburgh to Apollo. Olga Losa — I hunted high and low for a joke on Olga. But so careful is she that if the dorm girls know anything to tell, they never dream of telling it. But at a little session with Olga I discovered one thing she wanted — a quarter. But, Olga, don ' t spend it rashly. Perhaps you might contribute it to some good cause — the Student Government Board, for instance. J. D. C.

What in this mundane sphere is so super- fluous and utterly worthy of scorn as a Sophomore I Class? Once the Freshmen fled from us in terror, the ■ Juniors looked condescendingly down upon us, while even the Seniors, who are our sister classmates, could not help but feel a trifle superior to us. With such a forecast as this one would wonder how any group of human beings, with so little encouragement even to live, could have survived and accomplished anything. But how have thmgs changed! Instead of being the most scorned class on this intellectual hill, we are now the most popular. The Freshmen now joyfully infest our Sacred Sanctum (especially on Thursday), and the Juniors welcome us willingly into the gloomy precincts of the Morgue, while the Seniors, recog- nizing our position in the financial world, pay us frequent flying visits. Our study of mathematics and the sciences teach us that there is a reason for everything; there is nothing which can not be explained. Is it because we are soon about to become Juniors? I say no! Let us glance then at our past history and perhaps we may discover a clue to this elusive mystery. As Freshmen we began with the largest Freshman Class in the history of the College. Showing wonderful discernment and uncanny judgment of character and ability, we chose Ruth Gokey as President and Miss Elizabeth White as our honorary member. And well was the Ship of State guided through this first perilous year. Who will ever forget the Freshman party of the Class of ' 17 and the wonderful talent displayed in the impromptu enter- tainment on board ship? We progressed to our Sophomore year with rather depleted numbers, but without any lack of spirit or pep. Everybody knows the trials of a Sophomore President, but Jane Errett, by conscientious effort and untiring energy, pulled us through. The Freshmen will never forget their initiation day because, being by nature tender-hearted, we really couldn ' t hurt the little dears. We were the first class to have a class song, which precedent was soon followed by several other classes. Again our annual party was a howling success, owing to the ingenuity and cleverness of the several members. As a whole we are most loyal to the school and its organiza- tions, for we are exceedingly well represented in, and active members of, every organization in the College. Four of our members will graduate this year in Social Service and Music, a member of the Class of ' 1 7 carried off a sweater at the fall tennis tournament, and so we might go on and on, modestly telling of our fame and superiority, but have we not justified our existence? And still I am inclined to think that after all, in our steady rise to popularity and appreciation, it was not our good looks but our winning ways.

C. W were invaded by a wild and turbulent horde of barbarians — a tribe which had come from all corners of the earth — North, South, East and West — and so offered a most formidable front! They surpassed in numbers any similar onslaught which the defenders had ever before experienced, and the Sophomores, who had reached that point of civilization where they realized the better part of valor, peacefully withdrew and left their green and verdant fields for the enjoyment and cultivation of their successors. To be sure, for a while the Sophomores (a name, my dear reader, which in Greek means wise fool — with an accent on the latter — but let ' s be delicate) not yet having realized their weakness in comparison to their foes, made frequent sorties into the domains of the Freshmen. On one occasion, after a truce had been made, the Sophomores, with much self-congratulation, prepared a joy fest for the Freshmen, styling it a Baby Party, and thinking thereby to humiliate and embarrass their adversaries. But the wily Freshmen turned the tables by appearing in most unseemly childish outfits, and thus threw the Sophs (excuse us, please!) into confusion. Having received thi s savage tribe into its union, P. C. W. now proceeded to impose a government upon it in order to civilize it, in some degree. The orders and regulations of the S. G. A. fell with awful force upon some of the members — especially library gossipers. The aforesaid S. G. A. had already provided a tem- porary queen for these newcomers and under her guidance and direction the tribe acquired organization and advancement in a remarkably short time. During all this time, the turbulent newcomers were taking on the characteristics of their new surroundings. Some shone in the class room — even some poetesses appeared. Others upheld the honor of their tribe in the arena. Nearly all managed to make themselves shining lights at every social gathering. Finally after about five months of contact with the civilized world, the Freshmen, in their new found gentleness, actually began to fear a specter which loomed up in the way. There were sleepless nights for some of them, but, undaunted, they met the awful enemy at last and vanquished the Mid-Year Exams. Not a single victim fell! Shortly after this their esteemed temporary queen was replaced by another, whose office is to be permanent and who shall be the guardian angel of the unruly Fresh. But — ' twas on April 9, 1915 (put this on your datelist, all ye Freshmen) when the class of 1918 shone forth in its glory. Their first attempt in society was their Spring Opening in the Chapel. What a mighty cheer there was when on that memorable evening the 1918 Moon rose in all its splendor. Such a beautiful moon — so natural! and yet so different from the real one, for the moon of 1918 will not wax and wane every month, but will shine brightly, gloriously, in all her splendor, constantly, for four long years, and then will leave behind her such traces that she will never be forgotten. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE FIFTV-SIX Alma Mater Our Alma Mater sits enthroned Above the hurrying town. The changeful years can never dim The glory of her crown. She keeps the white without a stain. The purple queenly still. While countless hearts look up to her. The college on the hill. A constant throng with backward gaze Pass out the well-known door. The world lets some return again, But many nevermore. Yet, though their paths wind far from her, Their feet can never stray. Their Alma Mater guides them still, A thousand miles away. Each year new voices swell her praise; Some well-loved face is gone. Death calls us to Him, one by one. But still the song goes on. As long as Pennsylvania keeps Her watchlires burning bright Shall Pennsylvania ' s daughters sing The Purple and the White. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE FIFTY-SEVEN College History PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE FOR WOMEN was founded to supply the need in Western Pennsylvania of an institution of higher learning, organized and maintained under distinctively Christian influences. The East End of Pittsburgh was chosen as the location best suited for such a center of liberal education, and a campus of about eleven acres was secured upon a hill crest in immediate proximity to Fifth Avenue, and between the rapidly growing residence districts of East Liberty and Shadyside. The fine, old family residence already standing upon the property was remodeled and enlarged to meet the requirements of the new school, and at a later time received the name Berry Hall, in memory of its former owner. The founding of the College was made possible by the generous gifts and active co-operation of many interested friends; and its charter, granted in December, 1869, authorized the con- ferring of degrees such as are usually granted and conferred in other colleges of the United States of America, to students who should complete the offered courses of instruction in the liberal arts and sciences. The first class to be graduated comprised six students, who received their degrees in 1873. Dilworth Hall, the second of the college buildings in order of erection, was named for Mr. Joseph Dilworth, the largest con- tributor toward its cost and a staunch friend and supporter of the institution. This structure was completed and dedicated in 1888. The Gymnasium was built in 1892 and connected with a Music Hall in 1897. Woodland Hall was opened as a College House in September, 1909.

Under the competent direction of Prof. Mayhew the Club has made splendid progress this year. The first concert was given with the Musical Clubs of the University of Pittsburgh. There was a fine program, and the reception held afterward was enjoyed by the members of both clubs. A few weeks later the Glee and Mandolin Clubs gave the annual Home Concert. Beside these two concerts the Club sang at various other school events of the year, and the fact that every other week it formed the Chapel Choir must not be over- looked. The new girls always quake in contemplation of having their voices tried out (this being the only requirement for member- ship), but after this ordeal is over, no one ever regrets having a part in the organization.

Pan pulled his frostbitten ears and blew on his hands. I wish I were safe in my native haunts, he grumbled to himself. Suddenly he became aware of a soft sweet sound. He stared blankly at the mute pipes in his hands, from them to the lower windows of the great brick building in whose shadow he stood. He stepped to the window and peeped in. His attention became riveted. Quickly he drew a scroll from his belt and began to take notes. Seen and heard at the college on the hill; Group of young ladies playing sublimely upon musical instru- ments. Pause in which mortals talked. Conversation rather mixed, but was able to infer the following: They call themselves the Mandolin Club — a very worthy and accomplished organization. Had increased greatly since last year. Larger instruments called guitars seem to be entirely new to the Club. These are seven in number. Eighteen members in entire group. Much conversation concerning two concerts called Pitt and Home. At this point the hums ceased and low strains of music floated outward. There was a soft rustle as of celestial wings. Pan listened sadly. He looked at his pipes contemplatively, then with all his strength hurled them from him — disgust written all over his face. Slowly he turned away. A green light gleamed in his eye. His hands hung empty as he descended the hill.

Young Women s Christian Association The Young Women ' s Christian Association of our College gives each girl a practical knowledge of Christianity, and affords a means of doing Christian work. The memorial service for Isabel Blume emphasized her daily Christian ■ life and the power and influence of that life on others, inspiring us to the faithful doing of little things. The other meetings of this year have had wide interests. In addition to the meetings led by college girls on subjects of mission work and Christian living, we have had speakers from ether parts of the city and State, among whom were Dr. J. Alvin Orr, Dr. Fisher, Miss Mabel Steiner, Miss Haggart, Miss Rich- ardson and Dr. Rachel Williams. Aside from weekly meetings we observed the week of prayer and organized classes in home and foreign mission study. ■ The Cabinet is composed of the officers and chairmen of committees. Ten of our girls attended the Annual Student Conference at Eagle ' s-Mere last summer, where they received instruction and inspiration for an advance step in our work this year. Elizabeth Cameron is our annual member and represented Westminster and our own College at Philadelphia in February. The first social event of the college year was the Association Party to welcome the incoming Freshman class. The annual bazar of the associations of College and Dilworth Hall was a big success. The College proceeds, over eighty dollars, were divided between the missionary and conference funds. The keynote of the association is practical Christianity for the college student in the college life.

THE PENNSYLVANIAN PAGE EIGHTY-FOUR Whitmer Musical Club THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE EIGHTY-FIVE THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE EIGHTY-SIX LUELLA P. MeLOY Head of Social Service Department Social Service Department LUELLA P. MeLOY One of our best-known sociologists discerns an encouraging sign of the times in the increasing number of students in higher institutions who are entering special classes of a practical nature in sociology and economics. He argues that young people under- take these studies because they see themselves as members of a privileged class and are seeking an education which will fit them to repay their debt to society. It was in 1908 that Dr. Lindsay and Miss Coolidge deter- mined to offer instruction in social service. During seven years the process of evolution into a Social Service Course has gone on steadily. In numbers the department has increased from three in 1908 to about half the number in the three upper classes. The Social Service course, which we distinguish from the Social Service classes, leads to a certificate. It includes classes in other practical and theoretical subjects and is arranged to occupy two years when undertaken by a special student who is a candidate for the certificate. Nowhere is growth more apparent than in the variety and importance of the field work carried on by more advanced students. Courses somewhat similar are described in the catalogues of other colleges under various names — Social Economy, for instance. We cling to our original name — Social Service — because it shows the emphasis which we place upon constructive work. Of questions asked by those who observe us, the most frequent relate to the motives which have led to the study. I believe that I stated the general motive when I referred to the argument of a well-known sociologist. But are these students preparing for paid work? About one-third of those who have completed the course have entered some form of professional social work. Others are active in the volunteer field. A graduate of 1911 is an experi- enced worker in the Associated Charities of Pittsburgh. Another, of 1912, has made rapid advancement as a worker with delinquent children in Philadelphia. Another, of 1913, is an assistant in a social settlement and, having completed her first year of experi- ence, has been chosen as headworker to organize a new settlement. We are proud of our roll of professional and volunteer social workers, but no less valuable is another result of our social studies which can neither be counted nor measured. I mean the social ideals which so many educated young women are carrying from the College into other groups.

Carl Whitmer THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE NINETY Music School Six years ago the School of Music was entirely re-organized. Old courses were developed. New Courses were added. The standards for certificate honors have been raised. There is no school in the country whose requirements for harmony, composition and history of music are higher for a given period of work. Indeed, one of the most distinctive and interesting features of our work is the development of self-expression in music. Within the past SIX seasons many compositions written by our students have been presented publicly, not only on programs given in the College, but at concerts of various clubs and societies elsewhere. Our annual concert of original works is equalled by only a few colleges and universities, and surpassed by none. Many of our students are holding responsible positions in schools or teaching successfully in all parts of the country. Also, a large number of adult and professional musicians come to us for coaching. Our teachers are singers, pianists, organists or composers as the case may be. This is in line with the belief that no teacher can keep pace with modern pedagogy unless he himself continually IS working out new problems in his musical laboratory. We have special music building, four grand pianos, large number of uprights, and a three-manual organ. While the special work of the Music School lies in the domain of Singing, Piano, Organ and Composition, students who desire to study any instrument will be provided with the best teacher the city affords. The modern School of Music is a preparation for life as well as for the solution of immediate technical factors. Pedagogy without development of character (self-reliance, initiative and other constructive elements) is no longer worthy of the name.

C. W. We know that in order to have a rounded education the physical side of development must not be forgotten. The Association presents means for this voluntary physical development in a comprehensive and methodical way. Early in the fall the activities are launched in the form of a tennis tournament of doubles. The tournament is open to all college students and last fall twenty-four ambitious students fought a strenuous struggle. The honors were carried off by the Misses Kindl and Herald. Before the tournament closed basketball practice had began. Class teams were organized and a schedule of games was formed. On account of the many sided and varied interests of college life the schedule was not strictly adhered to. However, a number of interclass games were played. The large audiences were welcomed by the players — more so by the treasurer, since the admission is five cents per capita. Now that Spring is here a second tournament — this time singles — is just about to begin. Many more are taking part in it than took part in the fall tournament. There is an assurance in playing a game alone that is lacking when a partner must be depended upon. The traditional field meet is held in May, when remarkable ability is displayed in hops, skips, jumps, etc. Just where the interests of the Association will extend within the coming years can not be estimated, but there is no doubt that the future will bring prosperity, deepened interest and — more dues. THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE NINETY-SEVEN THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE NINETY-EIGHT Class Basketball Teams Alumnae Association OFFICERS Miss Mary B. Breed, 89 Miss Eleanor Fitzgibbon, ' 03 Miss Sara R. Carpenter, Ml - Miss Anne M. Houston, ' 02 - President Vice President - Secretary Treasurer Jane DeVore Porter, ' 99 Of what would you that I write? The backbone and inspiration of the College and her work? But of what would you that I write? The result of the work of P. C. W., and the proof of her efficiency in the past. But of what would you that I write? The hope and mainstay of the College in the future? Yes, I say to you, this and much more is the Alumnae. The Alumnae of Pennsylvania College for Women is and ever has been the staunch supporter and defender of the College, and as proof of her readiness to render First Aid we need but consider a few of her many activities. The Alumnae is divided into Decades, and each Decade Club has its own work and performs its own mission, but when- ever there is a Decade meeting we all know that the College, her needs and her possibilities will be discussed and plans orig- inated for doing her good. It has been a source of much wonder to me that during the past twenty years there has not been among the requirements of our College curriculum so many hours, per semester, spent in the intelligent perusal of a textbook entitled A Great Many Good Things, a textbook dedicated to the young housekeepers who shall come from the doors of P. C. W., by the officers of the Helen E. Pelletrean Scholarship Committee. Some of us own first editions, that from much use have become priceless, and which, when we think of what the scholarship means, we regard with respect and reverence. When the endowment fund was raised eleven years ago, it was raised by the Alumnae, and not a few anxious girls, with eager, hopeful hearts, hurried to points of advantage one memor- able morning and heaved sighs of relief, and gasped The College pennant floats, the endowment is assured. The Alumnae each year publishes the Recorder, an annual magazine that brings back to the College, each year, her entire family of daughters, though a thousand miles intervene, and carries the College to each of these daughters, with messages of love, interest and good wishes. In speaking of the Recorder THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE NINETY-NINE recently, to one in whose judgment we all have unlimited faith, this remark was made: I do not believe you realize or appreciate the fact that your Alumnae Recorder is unique in its scope and excellence. There has been nothing like it until very recently, and then only in an alumnae much larger than ours. And I would ask you, the [Present editors of Sorosis, and of the Annual, to bear this in mind, and remember that the Recorder, like every other good thing, cannot stand still. It must improve, and yours will be part of the responsibility of helping it to excel itself each succeeding year. But I must not dwell too long on deeds of the past, but consider what we are and are to be. 5ure p Tve are the proof. Go through our membership and inquire what the P. C. W. girls are doing or have done. You will find a surprising percentage of our graduates who are doing real things, and I think we each feel a thrill of pride that we can add, honestly, and doing them well. We are represented among educators far and near; we are known in the world of science; we number among us writers, lecturers, musicians and many who are winning fame, and a greater reward, by their work in Social Service, while in the broadest sphere of all — that sphere that is tossed about so much these days by the Pros and Antis — the P. C. W. girls stand alone, unexcelled by any. All proof not only of the efficiency of the work done at P. C. W., but a pleasing commentary upon the ideals and inspirations inculcated in the girls while they are in her care. What are we to be? The hope and mainstay of our Alma Mater. To the Alumnae falls the task of refilling places left vacant as each new class takes its place in the ranks of the Alumnae, instead of in the student body. Upon the Alumnae falls the duty of replenishing the coffers and endowing P. C. W. with many worldly goods. The Alumnae has the privilege of upholding the hands of our College President and our Dean, as well as of the members of our Faculty, cheering them with loving loyalty, assisting them with hearty co-operation, and strengthening them with an unswerving faith in that which they do. And, greatest of all, to the Alumnae is presented, at all times, the opportunity to awaken an enthusiastic interest in Pennsylvania College for Women, in Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, and in her sister States. May we all prove worthy of our calling! THE PENNSYLVANIAN PACE ONE HUNDRED Subj ects Studied at P. C. IV.
