Our timid footprint on the avenue of glories that stretches in front of us. that lies Ix-hind our back. t cOf course we think that there never was such a year as this annus mirabilis of 1920. Hut then, other Microcosms have expressed the same modest opinion. And we dare not Iiojm to be able to do bettor than they. Nor gliali we try. , e ’ _ ' � Within the pages that follow, you oh kindest of readers, will find a more or less accurate description o£ the doings of the classes, of the teams, of the organizations. Ft is up to you to read out of them the glory of Alma Mater and our own insignificant triumphs. r Ve trinl to tell the truth in every article. Sometimes it was very hard. It is very difficult for scniors .still softened by the pathetic parting speeches of their classmates, not to put too much poetry into the news. ’ But we tried! render. , And if in spots our story grows sentimental and our lyre bursts into lyric raptures, forgive us, oh IfFor this place means much to us and 'tis through rosy colored s|H ctncles that we view every small thing con- nected with it. in our enthusiasm never realising that perhaps we are quite the smallest of those things. IfAnd this Microcosm, after all, is a true mirror of our microcosm; of our triumphs and battles and defeats and follies. It is in that knowledge that we hand it to you. Perhaps during this whole year we have accomplished nothing miraculous, nothing that will stand out for the ages. Hut we have taken and given, we have loved, we have tried. - And the record of all our attempts is this Microcosm, which we now offer to you. F. E. F.

As is known, this annual feature is an evolution of the famous College May regattas of the early Seventies. The date chosen was May 22nd; time showed that a better and finer day for an outing could not have been picked. The boat was the Robert Fulton, one of the best steamers sailing the Hudson. Needless to say, the fifteen hundred young men and women on board had the jolliest time of their lives. Other attrac- tions on the trip in addition to the good-looking damsels were their home-made lunches, the music and dancing on deck, the stop-over at Bear Mountain, and the inspiring return by moonlight. However, no mention of the 'Y” excursion can be made without adding Mr. Burchard's name. He was the very life of the trip; to him mainly ami to Mr. Bloodgond, 'IS, the huge success of the 1920 Y” excursion must be attributed. Those who were present on this trip will always retain fond memories of a happy and joyous day.

NZMET mh€ ENTY 30§M Page Ttccntn-Four The Chapel [ ■'vl I’It o] lcr nluinni can look hack to sonic of the most pleasant moments of their lives in the assemblies in the old chapel at the College building on Twenty-third Street and Lexington Avenue. Attendance was a privilege allowed to Seniors and .Juniors, and some Sophomores only. The Faculty took their seats arranged in an arc from the right to the left corner of the stage. After each oration one might observe the professors mak- ing marks in their little note hooks. The Professor of English and the Professor of Hellos Letters marked for Coni|N sition and the Professor of Elocution marked for shaking. The Ward medals in Composition and Ora- tory were awarded in Chapel for Senior Orations, on the bases of marks given in the assembly. The best description of the assemblies was written by II. (L S. Noble, '80. in tin- Class Day book. “Star of 80. “When the reading of the Bible begins, and the terrible moment approaches lie is seized with a violent pain —well, in tin- region immediately below his thoracic cavity, and he suddenly forgets the first two lines of his piece . . . And then his name is called, llis head swims as in a dream, lie suddenly finds himself upon the platform and before him extends a sea of upturned faces with beadv eves, and In-luiid the Faculty are distributed in a half-moon armed with little books in which to express their various opinions. . . . At length he has said his say, and hurries from the platform hack among his section where he is told that he “did well,” in a tone of voice im- plying that it was not so awfully bad as it might have been; and the business of the day goes on as if his grand efforts of oratorical effect had never taken place at all.” And in the publication of the Alumni The College of the City of New York. Memories of Sixty Years”: ”... Frobisher, author of 'Voice and Action,’ bid you ‘speak Large and Wide!—speak to that window up thereat the other end of the chapel.’ When you spoke your piece on the stage and heard your own voice somewhere in the remote distance sounding like a tinv dog in distress under a barrel, he sat in grim solitude at the right of the stage where your wobbling knees showed most—in profile, because they wouldn't stay back,— and put down marks agin’ you. It was a blood curdling experience. When the College moved uptown the regular compulsory assemblies were discontinued. NINE! Mine WaVENTY «BOSM Page Turniy-Fivc But with the change to our more spacious buildings mid unincreasing diversity of students’ interests, the student body lu-came disintegrated in larger measure. That intimacy which the small community at Twenty-third Street cherished was weakened in the greater community on the heights. The students did not meet one another except in passing. The faculty and trustees deeided to revive the old tradition of cha| el meetings to develop a feeling of friendship and solidarity among the students and a grainier college spirit. Chapel meetings arc now an institution at C. C. X. Y. Every Tuesday at 11 A. M. the entire College assembles in the Great Ilall. Attendance is obligatory on the part of the students. Each class lias its block of scats, the Seniors occupying those chairs nearest the platform, the Juniors behind them, and so on hack. Members of the Faculty occupy the scats on the platform and partake of the exercises with the students. The President of the College usually presides. Exercises consist of the reading of a Psalm, important announcements on College matters, an address by a student or an outside visitor, and singing of College songs by the entire assembly under the supervision of Prof. Samuel Baldwin. .Mirtings close at 11:23 A. M. The assembly rises while the Faculty procession passes, followed by that of the cSnior Clnss. The other classes tile out after them. The first of the chapel meetings was held on Thursday February If). President Mcxcs opened the assembly with the significant remark. This is the first time I have ever seen the entire student liody assembled together.” % At the second meeting on February 21, Mr. Lee Kohns, '81. one of the trustees of the College and Presi- dent of the Associate Alumni, addressed the meeting. He reminisced of the assemblies down-town, and ho]H'd for a Iwtter College liecnuse of our cha|M l meetings. On April 13, Mr. Burchard. Secretary of the Associate Alumni, addressed the assembly and with much feeling s|N� ke for a fine College spirit, touehing on the days of vorc at Lexington Avenue. NINET! MAC Page Ticcnly-Six Paijc Tucnty-ScDCn ifetmij of thr (Elaas uf 1920 ItT is long and time is fleeting. It seems lint a little while ago that the forerunners ami founders of the Class of IU20 (if the February ’ 0 men may so Ik- called) applied for admittance ns fresh- men to the College of the City of New York. With the coming of the June '20 men a few months later, the Class of I � ’-? � . a united body, imbued with the good old lighting spirit, started in earnest on its career, which was destined to redound to the greatest credit to the class and the College. But more anon of the achievements and accomplishments of the '20 Class. And now '20's Commencement draws near. What thoughts does it bring to mind? The first, hasty eon- elusion of the average Senior would probably be “Thank (iod! It'll soon lie over. What a relief! However, upon more careful anil thoughtful reflection, the man who has worked faithfully to uphold and promote the good name uf old l.avcndcr will he tilled with conflicting emotions, which will be- come stronger as Commencement Day approaches. On the one hand, there will l c the desire to l c released from the shackles of school studies—an eagerness to test one’s ability. On the other hand, the same man will look with sorrow upon his di parturc from the place to which he has become so accus- loined—the place that has come to mean so much to him. Such sentiments can he felt by those only who have been truly loyal to Alma Mater. '20's history is a story of struggles and triumphs. Such a record could ho accomplished only with the aid of an indomitable, never-failing class spirit, which always manifested its great strength with the least display. From the very start the February ’20 Class, strangers in a new land, took to the field like veterans. Dur- ing its first term the class earned a college-wide reputation for the excellence of its smokers. The courtesy of '■iO .11 flirt1 for Soph Moot! NINE! MEG Payo Twcuty-Eiyhl ««•verni invitntions wns always extended to prominent Sophomores, who. to express their Appreciation, would consent to mouse the yearlings l� y performing special antics and stunts in varicolored attire. The feature article of Tile Campus, following the event, would be a story written by these honored Sophs describing their delightful ex- perienccs at the Frcslnnnn Smoker. Not content with all this mhlicity. the class journalists published one number of a class paper, called The Twentoninn. which helped to wind up class affairs for the term in a manner that surprised tin- upper elnss- men. And then the class disbanded for the summer, waiting eagerly for Scptcmlwr to expend its pent-up energy in the great battles to follow. 'When the Flat Paused By (Jiff ’JO) With tin- coming of September and the arrival of several humlrcd more red-blooded lighting Freshmen, class activities started in with a rush. The organizing of the class had already been planned, and with the eleclion of officers. '20 started on its onward march. ’40 threw down its defy t � ’I}) in several ways. The most audacious chal- lenge was in the form of Ruby’s specially cultivated Van Dyke beard. Such boldness made ’IJ) gasp. Many a scrap ensued in the alcoves and on the campus, until 'IP’s pep and strength In’camc practically exhausted. The weakened condition of the Sophs was demonstrated in tin- ting rush, when the well-gcnerallcd Freshmen, although slightly outnumbered, captured the flag after three of four minutes of furious lighting. Several days later ’ 1 i) was completely swamped in the Tug-of-Wnr contests. '20, after thus subduing ’1‘), remained as level-headed as ever, and went about its business, preparing for greater achievements. Freshman athletics fared very well. 1920 led the rest of the College in the interelass track meet. Our cross-country team hung up a record which to date has not been equalled, by winning every one of its matches with the New York City high schools. Our basketball team was also of a very high calibre, defeating, among others, the famous '19 team and the freshman teams of Rutgers, Stevens, and St. Johns. Social affairs during this year were well taken care of. The Freshman Smoker, Freshman Feed, ’18-’20 King Cole Smoker, anil tin- ’lf)-’20 Peace Banquet fostered the good fellowship that had begun in the class alcoves. NTY Pane T ccnty-Xlnc , On the return in the Full of 1JM7 the clnss of 1921 had en- ter� d, and '20 was faced with the proposition of tackling a par- ticularly unruly hunch «if Freshmen. Needless to say, many alcove and campus scraps «if the warmest nature followed, hut In-fore long ’ 21 was made to realise that in all these encounters impetuous and headlong lighting was of no avail against a foe endowed with clear judgment and aided by a concentration of forces. Then came the Hag rush. By marshaling together 300 men to ’20’s 200 warriors, and by employing ‘20 8 famous Hying wedge formation, ’21 broke through our forces and captured the Hag in a very short time. However ’20 retaliated in the Tug-of-War matches, when it completely outclassed ’21. It was a joyous sight to sec the Freshmen get a public hath as they were being pulled across the center line. This treatment with the water hose took the starch out of '21. On Columbus Day we beat them in baseball. We continued our winning streak against ’21 by coming out ahead in the Fresh-Soph track meet. 1 20 again led the rest of the College classes in the interclass track meet and also won the intcrclass swimming tourna- ment. The results of these contests showed that ’20 was able at all times to maintain an upper hand in its relations with the Freshmen as well as more than hold its own against the upper classes. During its second year, ’20 held two smokers, one at the Wallace and the other in the Webb Room. After a strenuous year « f Fresh-Soph activities, ’20 and ’21 hurit-d the hatchet at a very sociable and jolly Peace Banquet, held at the Hollywood during the month of April. From this time until the end of the term College activities t«x k a sharp lrop, due to some very com|x-lliug influences. The most outstanding one was the Great War. The list of men who had left to join the service was in- creasing daily. Before many months to conic, the majority of the class was to lx- found in the uniformed service of the Government. The other influence, which gave many a greater scare than did the war, was the exams. When the Dean announced that summer work on a farm or in a munitions factory would excuse one from exams, the office was besieged by great numbers of would-be farmers, etc. And so the Spring term, 1918. ended with a gram! exodus f«� r the camps, farms, and factories. The men who returned in September and who were qualified f« r military service were inducted into the C. C. N. Y. unit of the S. A. T. C. And for the few months that the S. A. T. C. existed, class lines dis- ’21 Talent” at '.ill’s Smoker Page Thirty appeared in favor of company ;m l all-CollegC activities. The S. A. 'I . C. was slmrt-livcd. However, a new shuttle term was instituted for the rest of the Winter session, to permit the hardened war veterans of the College to make up for lost time. Because of this, and also because part of the student hotly (the civilian group) was quartered in the old College building on 2Srd Street, student activities were not reorganized until the opening of the Spring term in February 11)1.0. Reduced to less than a quarter of its original strength, 1920 started oft' what remained of its Junior year with undnmpcncd ardor. At no time in the entire history of the class was its . membership so small. However, every departure, although it narrowed our circle, had the happy influence of uniting more closely those that remained. The intensified class spirit that resulted explains why the class was able to hold the greatest informal affair ever held at C. C. X. Y. The Spring term, 1919. was a busy social season. The upper classes and other big College organizations all helrl dances. With such competition !920'x Junior Hop was the finest affair of all in every respect. Now- adays, in passing judgment on a college dance, it is customary to compare it to '20's Junior Hop. 1920 staged nil athletic come-back in its Senior year. An alcove argument about the athletic merits of ’20 and '21 was the immediate cause for a dual intcrclass athletic meet, no one barred. '21 expected easy victories, lxenu.se she boasted more varsity men. No class was ever more chargrilled and surprised than '21 to lose the basketball and baseball games. The tourney was never finished, but it served to make '21 respect the all-round prowess of '20. In addition, '20 won the intcrclass basketball tournament. In the intcrclass track meet, it again lost to ’2;). but beat '21, '22, and '21. When a class could accomplish so much with only half its member- ship in College (February '20 had already been graduated), one- is forced to admit that '20 was all there.” In looking.hack over its four-year stay at the College, '20 realizes that it can never repay the debt it owes to Alma Mater. Il has liecn the supreme experience for us and we take pride in saying that the four years that we've spent at C. C. X. Y. have been the happiest years of our lives. As we say farewell to Alma Mater, let us pledge ourselves ever to do our utmost to uphold and sup| ort the best College in the land: C. C. X. Y.

Subdued somewhat by the thought that the joyousness of student life was soon to give way to the responsibilities of the world, the outgoing seniors gathered together in the Great Hall of the College to listen to the salutatory address by Aaron Furman, Chairman of the Numeral Lights Committee, and Charles J. Har- sany, President of June, ’20, who in brief talks exhorted their classmates to bear in mind forever the pleasant years spent amidst the Gothic surroundings of Alma Muter. Prior to the lighting of the Numeral Lights, Professor William 11. Guthrie delivered a specially written prose poem dedicated to the class. Clarence P. flornung’s highly artistic painting was then unveiled. When the Numeral Lights were lit, so effective was the illumination of the picture that the audience was moved to an outburst of enthusiasm. Francis E. Faragoh’s beautiful class poem was read by Jack Cottin. Professor Hnxkcrvillc eloquently addressed the seniors immediately before the funeral procession start- ed its measured march to Eternity Rock. A funeral dirge proclaimed the “tearful” news of the burial of the curriculum. One by one, the favorite plagues were buried—Hiology by Frederic Feldman, Chemistry in a superb manner by Arthur Taft, History by Joseph Finklestein, English, very humorously, by Jack Cottin and Mathematics by Frank Klein. The hit of the evening, as expected, was when Fef Faragoh burst forth into a deluge of tears as he related the sorrows connected with Hygiene, while llill Norton sur- passed Marc Anthony in the copiousness of his weeping over Poly Sci. McLeod said the last words for Latin and Greek and Charles Gurchot was extremely funny as he gave the last rites for French. And so, amidst the weeping of the mourners who gathered about the bonfire, the curriculum was buried—for 1920. Soon the mourners were mourners no more. They became a live, rollicking crowd, laughing at the queer costumes and queerer antics of the alumni, whose parade resembled a small town circus in its march through the main town of the country. After the procession, the mourners assembled on the plaza to dance to the romantic strains of dreamy waltzes and exotic fox trots. The campus was beautifully decorated with varicolored electric lights, college banners and oriental-like streamers. It was in the “wee sina' hours of the morn that the happy crowd bade final adieu to the grey walls of the College. NINET MEG Page Thirty-Six §riuml nf UuatttPHH (Elasa nf 1920 ALTHOUGH wc are not the first Evening Session students to be graduated by the College of the City of New York, we are the first class to complete the pre- scribed courses of study in business established in the Evening Session in lfllti. and developed as an approved, complete course in the old College building in the Fall of 1.017. The home of all the famous classes from l«.'� .t through 10 17 was renovated and renamed the Com- merce Building. To many of us this was our first introduction to the City's College. One thousand hours of night attendance, our goal, seemed a long journey, but we set forth with the eagerness and pride of Freshmen ns we scanned the curriculum, planned with the same thoroughness for which this West Point of American Colleges had al- ways been well-known. Although an evening course docs not afford oppor- tunitics for the sociability and good fellowship of which a day student may avail himself, yet as we look back we can recall the development of many valuable associa- tions and friendships. Especially were we able to par- ticipate cheerfully, ami ns a College unit, in all the vari- ous war-time appeals, lx th for social ami for nntionnl purposes. Wc were glad of the opportunity to make donations go the College in Liberty Bonds. Furthermore, wc regard with pride our being the first to complete a prescribed course in the new field of learning at the old college building. Upon those coming after us will rest the responsibility of creating traditions ns valuable and as interesting as those associated with the ancient building, which served as our inspiration for scholarly achievement. And so wc, who paved the way in this branch of. the College's expansion, leave to our successors the sustaining of our record which will be com- parable to that of tbe thousands who have been graduated from the College. To Dean Robinson and his staff of instructors we owe the training wc have secured, and to President Mcxes and the Board of Trustees we arc indebted for their co-operation in realizing the plans of our Dean and the faculty. Upon us rests the responsi- bility of being worthy pioneer graduates of our City's School of Business and Civic Adminstration.

Pleasant asso- niB eiations among classmates who learn to know the real ni.-in serve to cement friendships that live on after the four years spent in and around the campus have taken their place in the past. Not one of us, it may safely be prophesied, will ever forget the good old time� we had in the brightest and best alcoves of them all. My Twenty-one! Can the College ever forget that memorable day on which our Flag R •'� was won? Never will those remarkably aggressive Fresh-Soph fights and haxings be forgotten! Our spirit of fair play and clean-cut sportsmanship will Ik- the beacon lights fir future classes. Our record in the Push Hall contest will lie pointed out with pride. There were nights of anxiety and nights of fearlessness as when midnight found us engaged in the time- honored customs of painting Eternity Rock, of breaking up Soph banquets, or of saving fellow Freshmen from the anxious hands of haughty Sophomores. NINETI MUG Page 8lxtg-8ix ninet: muc Page Sixty-Seven History of the Class of 1921 (Continued) The latter half of our Freshman year marked the never-to-be-forgotten success of the Peace Banquet and of the monster stag” held in the Webb Hoorn, where wc sang our inspiring College nu-lodies. Then came the World War and the | eriod of the Students' Army Training Corps which temporarily di- vided the class into two components—the uptown branch in the military service and the younger classmates at the Commerce Buildings, downtown, where men who have become known the world over first learned to love our Alma Mater. When the Armistice was finally declared, Twenty-One gathered back into its fold the members who had strayed from the confines of the campus and fittingly celebrated the event with a Dansant” that made dance history at the College. Shortly afterward, first honors in the interclass debating tournament were captured by our team. Thus it has been ever since our Freshman year. Winner of the ’20-’21 Track Meet, Interclass Track Meet, Soccer Tournament and Interclass Swimming anil Basketball Tournaments, is it any wonder that we fur- nished the captains of the l aseball, swimming, basketball and soccer teams and supplied the nucleus of every varsity branch of sport? Last year, the College at large and former Twenty-One men who had entered various medical schools passed a glorious evening at our Junior Hop which was held in the College gymnasium. In April of this year the members of the class and their guests were treated to an invitation dance that surpassed the former high records established by Twenty-One. TWENTY-ONE.

Fresh-Soph activities were few but spirited. Under the eyes of the Sophs, it stcnlthcd its 'Teed on upper Broadway with only such minor interruptions as an ambulance call and a shattered skylight. When the college threw off its guise of an army barrack and resumed its previous academic appearance, Twenty-Two came north. The inadequacies of the Froth cap covered by the dignified sombrero of sophomority, '82 applied itself to the instruction of the new-comers. One of the most unique bits of hazing ever attempted was when four Freshmen took to the stage at the gentle behest of their insistent captors and served as the surprise act in a Harlem Theatre. To commemorate the event a Twenty-Two edition of The Campus was issues!. Twenty-Two also outpullcd in the annual Tug-o’-War. winning this feature without a trickle on any of its men. It then first laid hands on the fateful hose which Hooded a gym and suspended n class. For the re- mainder of the semester it languished in inactivity, until the expiration of the Dean's edict.

It held a Twenty-Two Jig in Doctor Williamson’s Dance Hall, our capacious gym. By abundant decora- tions, its stark angularities were converted into a ublimc bower, making the affair one of the gala events of the season. Its basketball team ranked high in the intcrclass competition with a team com| osed of Norman, Kelley, Segal, Brown and Bhcinhnrdt, giving promise at the time of this writing of plucking the class championship. Twenty-Two has lent its men in every sphere of College activity- whose work has redounded to their own personal credit and to that of their class. Twenty-Two’s attainment is already partially realized; advancing time will complete the intention. NINE Mm.

The Tug” was held in the Stadium, and was one of the most exciting events ever witnessed there. ’22 finally won by a close margin. , What happened then? The Sophomores, barricading the doors of the Gym Iluilding, refused admit- tance to the '28 men. The Intter, forming a solid phalanx, broke down the doors and rushed at the ’22 men. The Sophs attempted to repel the invaders by means of the fire hose, but the Freshmen uncoiled two lengths of hose and gave '22 a drink of its own water. After a decidedly damp battle royal, the Sophs retreated. The Freshmen had won the day! In the melee, several things had happened to the Gym. The walls were soaked, the floors were ruined, the windows were shattered, and the doors were broken All in all. the damage amounted to $300. As a result of the struggle, Fresh-Soph activities were banned for the rest of the term. In January the ban was lifted. '23 held its dance—an overwhelming success! Then came the Spring term (theoretically an inactive one), in which the Class of 1923 established its athletic superiority within the College by winning the track and the swimming meets. With Spring came another Freshman class—1924! The Sophomores set to work to show 1924 its place, and have succeeded so well that the Freshmen arc compara- tively innocuous now. Most of the tutoring of the '24 class has so far been passive, but in the Fall '23 will start to hare—ami when it comes to haring, '23 has some tricks up its sleeve that the devil himself would be proud of! 1923 ended up the term in a final blare of glory when it ran off the Soph Smoker. This was the final official affair of the term.

It was but mid-winter when the F reshmen entered for the first time the |x rtnls of our main building. Innuspiciously anil modestly they organized their class in record time and proceeded to work for the fame of both C, C. N. Y. and '24. The clnss had barely gained its footing when the Sophomores, eager to show their superiority started small scraps which daily grew in size. But the Class of '24, though always greatly out-numbered, stood their ground and fought valiantly. September will first find the class in its normal strength and then there will be a Freshman to face each Soph. Even now many members of the clnss can already relate how they met the enemy and won the day.” Never to be forgotten is that night in March when several bold Freshmen heroically determined to con- tribute to the great works of art by painting various places with their decorative numerals, ’24. There on the rock near tile College, by the dim lantern light, did tiles. Freshmen industriously smear the paint. The Freshmen then gained great prestige by holding a Freshman Smoker. Some say the best part of the evening was the smokes, the sandwiches and the drinks. Others say it was the wonderful bill of profes- sional entertainers. Everyone agrees that it was the best affair ever held by a Freshman class. By no means the least part of the affair was the wild, glorious snake dance that followed down Broadway. The cheer of C-C-N-Y-I-9-2-4” awoke many inhabitants from their peaceful slumber that night. NINE Mm.

A Girl To Order,” presented by the Class of February '21 at the Washington Irving Playhouse! A Freshman Jaxs Hand and Glee Club were also organised to cope with the large demand for music at various activities. The outing is planned to be held on a Sunday in May, protly girls, games, songs and cheers being the chief constituents of the program.

The Class did not devote itself only to social activities, for athletics also played a prominent part- Many candidates answered the call for the Freshman teams and from a great deal of material, championship teams were chosen in many sports, one of the greatest victories being when the lowly Sophs succumbed to the brilliant Frosh basketball players by a score of 11-2. It was one of the interclnss basketball tournament games and the most important one for the Freshman Class. The game was a one-sided contest from start to finish, '23 not being permitted to score even one field goal. The swimming and tennis teams likewise acquitted themselves very creditably, meeting many teams from other schools and colleges. NINE ■ |WE N TY Mn(cm ee§M Page Seventy-Fight NINETI Mild ENTY ©§M Pago Seventy-Nine Charter Day The Seventy-third Anniversary Celebration of the granting of the Charter to the Tree Academy, now known ax the College of the City of New York, was one of the most eventful and stimulating celebrations the College has ever witnessed. Never before in the history of the College has a more impressive scene been staged; never before have the festivities been so striking. The celebration of the day began at 12 noon with a general obligatory assembly. This was the most impressive assembly held so far this semester. It was opened by an academic procession of the entire faculty, clad in cap and gown, and headed by President Moses. The members of the faculty met in the various De- partment Office� , and in this departmental order marched to the platform. The upper classmen then followed, marching by classes, behind them came the entire It. O. T. C. Unit of the College, in full uniform- This formed one of the most striking features of the procession. Professor Duggan spoke on the Spirit of Charter Day,” setting forth clearly and concisely the spirit of loyalty that has dominated the activities of the College in the past, and that should dominate the activities of the College in the future. The celebration in the Great Hall closed with the singing of America, and was followed by the annual Charter Day Luncheon held under the auspices of the Student Council, on the Plaza. Covers had been laid for five hundred undergraduate, alumni, and members of the faculty, but tin- crowd that turned out far exceeded this number- The luncheon was especially successful, due to the spirit of comradeship that prevailed. The members of the faculty had turned out cn masse for the occasion, and frolicked about the campus, jesting with the students. At 3 o'clock the great event of the afternoon took place in the form of a baseball game between the C. C. N. Y. Varsity and the Washington and Ia-c University nines. An immense crowd turned out to watch the game, filling the Stadium almost to capacity. The game was witnessed by a large number of high school stu- dents, as a part of the annual High School Day program. Sad to relate, the Varsity was defeated. This closed the day's activities, but two more events were scheduled for the evening. At 8:15 P. M. the intercollegiate debate, l etwcen C. C. N- Y. and Manhattan College, was held in the Great Hall. The Varsity Debating Team upholding tin- negative of the question, were unanimously declared the victors. The festivities of the day were concluded with an al fresco Lantern Dance on the Plaza. The campus was decorated for the occasion with electric lights and bunting. A huge number of people took part in this dance, whriling about to the strains of jazz. The dance, which had begun at 10:15 P- M., ended in the small hours of the morning. MINETI Muce NTY 2Q§M Page Eighty AABOARD President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Abraham J.

With the sole purpose of promoting athletics, the Executive Roard supervised games between the Seniors and Juniors, intcrclnss track relays, swimming meets, and imskctball tournaments, all of which brought out Imndn-ds of eom) etitorf, unearthing some varsity material. Stronger schedules than ever were arranged for the Lavender teams, so that City College could spread its fame. Successful committees were appointed. Reforms were effected, most notable of which was the per- fection of tin- school for managers.” This entails the appointment of several assistants to the manager of each sport, the work accomplished by these aids forming a basis for future managerships. Special training is given to each assistant, and at the end of the year the aspirant most fitted receives the berth of assistant manager. Page Eighty-Two NINE ti WVENTY MnCl� §0§M Page Eighty-Three “Respice” A Summary of the Athletic Year By Irv Lipton npHK current college year opened last fall with a big boom for all City College athletics. I.urge squads rc- ■ ported to the various captains and coaches, and everything |M intcd to a City Collgc gala sports year. Soccer candidates were daily seen toc-ing the ball through the goal posts with the track men |H unding away on the cindcrpath, while the basketball candidates were shooting the pill at the gym baskets in their efforts to get their eagle eyes” into shape. Hut, what was most encouraging of all, the swimmers, for the first time in the history of that sport, had a regular schedule for team and individual practice periods. Truly, all indications |M intcd to a wonderful year in s]K rhs. The lower classmen, fresh from the war period, started their Frosli-Soph activities with a vim which foretold of the vast quantities of ginger and pep they were to inject in the field of varsity and frosh sports either ns participants or supporters of the various tea ms. But, the very spirit which was to help put the College on the sports map served almost to its very undoing. For, after a spirited fight in the gym building in which the fire hose figured very prominently, after the annual Frosli-Soph Tug-o-War, the Faculty Com- mittee on Student Affairs suspended all lower classmen from further participation in Lavender sports, for the rest of the year. This was a severe blow to athletics, and it looked for a time as if all sports were to be abandoned for the winter season, when the upper classmen took the hull of a sports fiasco by the proverbial horns and forced the eligible men into the field of competition by an Upper Classmen Carnival. The basketball team was the first aggregation to open its varsity season. Thirteen victories were chalk- ed up, in sixteen starts. Yale, Colombia, Syracuse, Rutgers nnd West Point were among the many teams listed as our victims. Our team compiled a total score of 435 points as against 379 scored by our opponents. For the first time in three years the College was represented by a quintet without a particular star. This year's five worked as a smoothly oiled machine and won on its perfect knowledge of the intricate points of the game plus its ]H lished team work. Speed was the slogan of this quintet. GIVE nnd GO” was the exhortation of the coach. As a result, in thirteen of their scheduled games, our boys GAVE and their opjionents WENT.... down to defeat. Our swimming team did not startle the world by breaking any records or even winning the Intercolle- giate� , but to those well acquainted with former City College teams, the personnel and the grim determination of the men on the squad to practice faithfully both as individuals and as a team, presages a grand season in this sport for next year; for all of our mermen will be in College for the 1920-21 campaign. All the dual meets were well contested and our men managed to run up a total tally of 137 points for the season. NINET muc: Page Eighty-Four The baseball team started off its season with a bang, and crashed through its first three scheduled games, listing N. Y. U. among its victims, lyforc it was brought to a halt by Columbia. From then on, the team went along in a more or less successful fashion, and finished its year with a majority of wins tucked away. Hut, it was not the final number of victories or defeats that interested the followers of the diamond, ns the new spirit displayed in the Stadium. For the first time in three years, since the entry of the U. S. in the late affair neross the sea, a varsity track team was formally organised and very handily defeated its first and only opponent of the season. Hut, more than that, our four-man-one-mile-relay team travelled down to the Penn Relays and brought Ivick gold medals. A large squad turned out daily for the hard grind under the expert tutelage of the conch. The tennis team began its season with its 1 f 19 star combination intact, but, two more men were needed to play number three and foe- on the team. Within a week after its first practice period, two good men were uncovered and the team was complete. They played through their schedule of eight games, winning four, losing three and tying one. Handball was added to the College Sports Calendar last fall. Five contests were stages!, two with Columbia and three with the I.onc Star Hoat Club. Plans were on foot for an Intercollegiate League, but unfortunately this project fell through. Two other teams were also added to the calendar, the wrestling nnd gym teams. Thirty men answer- ed the first call for candidates, of which twenty were retainer!. These men were continually acquiring skill and dexterity under the guidance of their coach, but, since wrestlers, like football players, arc developed grad- ually, no active competition was engaged in. The gym team was organized and exhibited their wares in many intra-mural affairs, but did not take on any outsiders. Freshmen activities were given a knock-out blow by the decision of the Faculty Committee at the begin- ning of the year. However, after the ban was lifted the Freshmen trie-si to stage a comelwck with the re- sult that three teams were put into the field—basketball, baseball and track. All three bnttlcd through success- ful seasons, considering the handicaps. Two interclass tournaments and an Upper Classmen Carnival were staged in great style during the year. The carnival was the first of its character to be held in this College and may be the beginning of a new form of competition to bo staged every year. The College was very fortunate in securing a com| etent staff of coaches. All the men worked hard to whip their charges into shape and their success can be accurately measured by tile results turned in by the teams. A movement was started last fall to revive football at the College. A large fund was contributed by the students and alumni nnd everything points to a Lavender representation on the gridiron. All our teams went through hard sports campaigns with fair measures of success. Every team re- mains practically intact. With veterans on all teams, we predict a crackcrjack year for all sports next year. NINE mh d: EMTY Page Eighty-Five Foncard� S. Lamm, '«0 V. Ham., '20 Guards II. I'i.ikciki., ’ 20 S. b'ninix, '21 1.

MUC Page Eigh ty-Six NINETI MHO Page Eighty-Seven The opening of the foil semester heart! the call for candidates. Many veterans of the ’18-’l9 inter- class tournament appeared and began to display their wares. As a nucleus there remained from Joe Deer- ing'a quintet Nat Krinsky, center; Captain Hy Fliegel, guard; Willie Hall, forward; I.ipton, all positions; Chick Feigin, guard, and Frank Murray, center. Greeting the candidates was a new mentor, Nat Holman; a conch with a phenomenal playing record be- hind him. Nat not only immediately won the alTection of the men in his charge, hut also became the popular idol of the College. The team became a six man machine with Smiling N’at the side-line member. The five- man guarding defense, long famous here, was retained, and to this was added a five-man attack. Speculation as to the nature of the new creation was settled immediately after the Princeton affair. Few of the many spectators who saw this exhibition against the Tigers will ever forget it. The game ap- parently safely tucked away, with only two minutes to play, and with two thousand rooters wild with joy, victory was snatched rudely and cruelly from the Lavender pennant. Then came Yale, whom we made feel bluer than her shirts. Our rivals from Morningsidc Heights were the next victims. The thriller of the year, however, was the revolution against Syracuse, when Hy Fliegel shot a basket which put the College one point in the lead with but five seconds to play. And so the team plunged its merry way through all its opponents. The interim between terms saw a breach made in the Lavender wall by the graduation of the popular Hy. To fill this I.ipton was shifted to the roving backficld” and Sammy Lamm was inserted at forward. Hall was elected to Captain the quintet and the team swept oil its relentless way. It entranced Brooklyn Poly and then left on its annual upstate trip, where the team, not yet awakened from the torpor into which the drone of the wheels had lulled them, cold and unpractised, received at Syracuse its second rebuff of the season. In its wrath it consumed It. P. I., Rochester and Clarkson Tech.; devastated Fordham on its return to the city and then entered upon the climax, the N. Y. U. game. The Lavender quintet battled vainly against this champion host and went down, with colors flying, beneath the terrific attack of a superior team. This game was the biggest and best attended exhibition of basketball ever held in the city and was staged in the 22nd Regiment Armory. December 6, 1919 December 18....... December 20.......

The F. A. C., consisting of Drs. Storey and Woll, and Profs. Palmer, Rupp, Reynolds, and Moody, sent word under date of October 81, 1919, t« Prof. Williamson, of the Hygiene Department to the effect that The Faculty Athletic Committee has unanimously voted that you take immediate measures to have the schedule of the soccer team cancelled, and for the following reasons: “1st. That there seems to have been no real interest shown in the activities of the team; 2nd. That the ineligibility of three men—Krinskv, Lebofsky and Taft has been established and therefore the team is so weakened that it would be impossible to play any games.” There is no doubt that soccer did not receive the proper support of the undergraduates, for only fifteen men answered the call of Coach llolman and Capt. Harsany. In spite of the small number of candidates, the prospects for a good team were bright until the three men in question were declared ineligible. Without this trio there was little hope of reconstructing a team within the short sjwcc of time left before the opening game scheduled for November 15 with Bensonhurst. For this reason there was no alternative for the F. A. C. but to cancel the sport for the season. The case against Lebofsky was that he was carrying only eight credits of work and therefore could not represent the College. Krinskv and Taft were declared ineligible Itccausc of the Faculty rule prohibiting an athlete from competing in two sports during the same season. Krinskv jumped center for the basketball team, while Taft acted as manager. Soccer thus proved a disappointment. Raised to a major S| ort because of the success of the 1917-18 team, it was thought that the sport would challenge basketball in popularity. The first blow struck at it was the Fresh-Soph ban, which deprived the team of the services of several promising candidates. Rad weather also added to the difficulties. Manager Sid Unger had arranged a schedule which included besides others Benson- hurst. Crescents, and Princeton. NTY Pave Eiohtv-Xinc Tile enigma of tlic athletic year was tin- City College baseball Icam. Had this artiele been written several days sooner, that is, before Charter Day. we should have said that the team wax a good aggregation; we cannot say that now. Nor do we brand it ns bad. It was neither good nor bad if you get what we mean. Sometimes Mac’s men played like champions; other times, oh, my! (Vide the Columbia and Washington and Lee games.) Coach MaeKen .ie worked like a Trojan this season with the diamond candidates. Indoor practice was discouraging, ns too few turned out. Moving practice to the Stadium, however, brought out the largest squad of ball-tosscrs ever seen at the College. Kvcry position wax keenly contested by numerous aspirants. Of last year's pseudo-nine then1 remained, Capt. Krinskv, Frank Murray. Hob Kelly. Chick Feigin and Buck Frccllill. A good foundation on which to build. Tubby Itaskin, freshman star twirler, first xae'-er and slugger supreme, was also available. For slab duty Cagney, Hurlig, Axtcll, Anderson and McCIcod reported. The outfield berths were sought by Norman, Zuek, Wolfe, Horowitz, Rabinowitx and Torpy. Infield competition wax enlivened by Klein for third, Taft for short, and Kappx and Albert for second. The infield finally arranged by the industrious Mac was Baskin at the initial sack; Kelly, keystone guardian; Freehill at the difficult corner, and Littenberg at short. The gardeners were Norman in left, Zuek in center, and Torpy in right. NINET MAC Page Ninety This array started the season well by thrashing Brooklyn Poly, 8-2. In this game Feigin shut out the Poly hatters without a hit for six innings. Following eame the tussle with N. Y.

A rally in the eighth enabled us to emerge victorious by a 2-1 score. ninet: muc Page Ninety-One Then camo the Columbia fiasco at South Field. The College struggled hard to overcome a four run lead assumed by the Blue players in the first frame, but the struggle availed little. We lost 9-6. Next came Manhattan, whom Tubby Baskin subdued with two hits, the whole affair winding up to the music of 11-1. Another victory! Cathedral turned the tables in a well played game when Boyle, the Maroon pitcher, proved too much for the Lavender; score 1 1. Seton Hall had in the same week beaten C. C. N. V. in a comedy of errors by a 9-3 standing. Up to this point the team did not look bad; in fact we were proud of it, for the Lavender has not been ably defended on the diamond in recent years. A shake-up in the battle array, which involved Frcchill going to right, Kelly to third, Krinsky to second, and Murray in behind the bat, had been Mac's greatest strategic move and had brought improvement. Came Charter Day. The II. O. A. band was niring its ability to a large crowd of students, Faculty, friends ami visiting alumni in the Stadium. Came Washington and Lee, but went City College. Explain tbc massacre?......... Yes, 14-3 is not so bad—-it might have been worse. Up to and including the W. and L. game, the leading luitter was Tubby Baskin, who slnmmed the ball at a .821 gait.

That’s sport!’’ Our notators did not bring home a single win all season and finished in last place in the Intercollegiate League. Nevertheless, the team won for itself and for the College the reputation of being good sports. l’robably the brightest feature of the year was the steady improvement of the water polo team. Matched against men of their own class they would have certainly come out winners; but against Princeton, Yale and. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who garner the best swimmers of the country, the City College inert pluckily strove in vain. It was in the fancy diving events that the College gained most points. Divers Cagney and Haas gave al pretty performance as one would want to sec anywhere and merited the titli- of two of the best divers in the' League.” Goldfish” Lehrman, Captain of the Swimming Team, although forces! to meet the most powerful sprint- ers of the collegiate world, made a remarkably fine showing, winning many a place in the hotly contested 100 and 220” events. Happily, the streak of fiery lightning remains to Jend the team again next season and with the experience gained in soul-trying contests, will make a fair bid to put City College well up in the League's standing.

NINE MUG ENTY 3 §M Page SinctyFour FOOTBALL IMlHF.N the cool nutumn breezes begin to seep over the campus and the leaves begin to fall, the City College tagd student feels that there is something lacking, for no sounds reach him from the Stadium, lie picks up a newspaper, and turning to the sporting sheet, enviously reads that Yale has bright prospects for the year, or that Columbia is exhuberant, N. Y. U. enthusiastic. Th • cool, invigorating air calls him; his blood craves stir- ring; his instincts call out . . . Whnt’s lacking? Football! We will quote the Campus: It is unnecessary to delve deeply into the ‘why’ of football. That the foremost collegiate spirit is of benefit is known by all. To the player it means a clean, healthy and unselfish life; to the fan who follows the fortune of the team it means rare enjoyment; to the College it means not only added publicity of a wholesome sort, but also a source of revenue for the upkeep of minor, unprofitable sports. The desire to restore the man’s game materialized into a definite campaign this scholastic year. Doubt- less, many bad suggested reviving the sport long before. It remained, however, for Maurice Bernhardt, ’21, and Sidney Unger, ’21, to start the ball rolling. Bernhardt was instrumental in initiating the campaign in that all last summer he hammered at a certain important faculty athletic official so hard, so insistently, that the official in question promised finally that all his support—which was so absolutely necessary—would be thrown behind a restoration movement. To Sid Unger goes the honor of doing the real dirty work. Unger, putting heart and soul in the pro- ject, called meeting after meeting; interviewed all the gods that Ik- at C. C. N. Y.; initiated rallies, drives, assemblies; neglected bis studies; did everything humanly |H ssible, in order that C. C. N. Y. might be repre- sented on the gridiron. The great difficulty lav, and still lies, with the procuring of funds sufliffieiently large to revive the sport ami to keep it going for a period of three years. The goal is $50,000. The great hope of the enmpnign leaders lies outside the campus with the Alumni. At the present writ- ing a football pnmplilct is on the press. This plea is to be sent to every C. C. N. Y. Alumnus. If the re- sponse of the graduates comes up to expectations, football will be played officially at the College next fall. NIMET MUC Pape Xincty Fivc TRACK Manager M. Bkrniiardt, '21 Coach Capt. 1). Crandall Captain L. SlKOKI., '20 fTRlHE rejuvenation of the track team this year was due to two strong personalities, its manager and its krjrJ coach. At the present time one finds the Stadium a beehive of training with every braneli of athletics re- ceiving its full attention. In Bernhardt the track team has a manager the equal of whom it has seldom had. Businesslike, earn- est, and thorough in every respect, he has raised the team from a struggling few to a constantly practising ma- chine, well oiled in all parts, and indicative of great possibilities. The greater factor in the success of the athletes lies, however, with the Coach, Captain Crandall. Be- fore the popular Captain took hold, Mac was in charge of the track squad and because lie was more intent on getting together a ball team, the future Olympic champions were necessarily slighted. Captain Crandall, at- tached to the Military Science Department and himself an athlete of national fame, volunteered his services on the field, which were immediately accepted. The response to his urgings for good work and faithful practise was amazing. His personality was 80 winning, his good-fellowship so splendid, his admiration so desired, that the men were anxious to win his praise through hard work. To please the Captain was each one’s wish, and results followed. The only opportunity the track team has had up to the date of this writing has been in the annual Penn, relays. The College representatives finished second in its class, close behind Stevens, whose team was forced to make lietter time than several winners of higher classes. The Lavender team was composed of Prcrau, W. Roscnblum, Horn, and Bisgicr. Next year will find the same team with the exception of Frank Horn, whose place will be taken up by Hosenwasser, ready to start again in the mile run. In track events the team was more strongly fortified than on the field. For the Hundred there were Ball, Nunes, Pircesi. Horn, and Becker; the Two-twenty, Prcrau, Dargo, Radwin, and Taylor; the Four-forty, W. Roscnblum, Rosenwasser. and Fischcl; the Eight-eighty, Bisgicr, Kraus, and Levinson; the Mile, Siegel, Ben- yarv, and I.iptxin; the Two mile, Bruckner, Cohen, and A. J. Roscnblum. Over the low timbers at two-twentv yards Capt. Crandall was working Gussow and Horn, while at the one-twenty high, Barney Golbcrg did the shin scraping act with Becker. The field events found the College weak. High jumpers of prominence were McKay, Phildius, Tonkel, and Silver; for the pole vault there were Jacobs and Longer. The shot-put was taken care of bv Harsany, I.ilicnbloom and Phildius, while jumps for distance were essayed by Ball and Albert. Page XtnctySix Pope Ninety-Seven Manager Coaches . Captain H.

The wall game was never taken seriously until recently when application was granted to the devotees of the 8|)ort for official recognition by the A. A. Board. Playing on four-walled courts, the team was abl e to shut out both Columbia and the I.onc Star Boat Club. On one and two-walled courts the players were not so practiced, and dropped hard-fought matches to the .«nine teams. Only four matches in all were played because of the late schedule. I.ilicnbloom and Blum were the most consistent winners for the Lavender. Had the team been able to travel, matches would have been played with Ynlc and Princeton. As it was, these Colleges declined to play on our four-walled courts. Great credit is due to the coaches, Hauser and O'Neil, for their untiring efforts in training the team, and to Captain Lilicnhloom for his successful leadership. The team was ahlv managed by Hy Cohen, who was forced to give up a larger schedule, due to certain limitations for which he was not responsible. Columbia defeated C. C. X. Y., 4 to 1. C. C. N. Y. defeated Columbia, 6 to 0. C. C. N. Y. defeated Lone Star B. C., 4-0. Lone Star B. C. defeated C. C. N. Y., 3 ■ to 1 Pace Ninety-Eight An intercollegiate tournament between Yule, Princeton, Columbia, C. C. N . Y., and jwssiblv Harvard, is being arranged for the Fall. If the matches are to be played on four-walled courts, the College is sure to be up among the leaders, as only Captain I.ilicnbloom will be lost through graduation. However, a one-walled game will not be a great handicap next year, as by that time it is Imped to have one-walled courts for practice in the Stadium. Till . HANDBAI.I. TEAM Pope Xt icly-Xlnc The College was strongly represented on the courts this year by a team of racquet-wielders which in- cluded the famous pair from last year’s quartet. Scotty Schnpiro and Bibby Algnsc. These two formed the backbone of a strong aggregation which up to the present writing has already given good account of itself Boston University has been played to a tie at threc-all. Ford ham beaten 5-1. and Pratt defeated by the same score. N. V. U. has managed to shut out the Lavender courtnicn. Algnsc and Schapiro ami Sherry and I.e- vine paired off in doubles, while Diamond played singles in place of Sherry. The defeat at the hands of X. Y.

TIIK GYM TKAM The gym team sprang a coup d’etat at the annual indoor intcrclass meet, at which it gave an exhibi- tion on the apparatus. Kings, parallel bars, high bars, all apparatus was used to demonstrate bow nature and gravity can be defivd in doxens of way . The gymnasts are always under the proper and efficient guidance of the Hygiene Department and undoubtedly will enter collegiate competition during the next semester. NINET muc Page One Hundred Tico The wrestlers reported constantly for practice and while no team was formed, much material for it was unearthed in the various weight . The Steelier game is a hard one, but nevertheless n score of appli- cants answered the call and reported to Coach Cantor for instruction in dealing out the scissors, the Nelson, and the various life-crushers so familiarly known by the piano-movers who were wont to display themselves be- tween grunts in Madison Square Garden until clean-limbed youths like Steelier and Londos happened along and drove them back to their regular professions. It is Coach Cantor’s hope to have a Lavender representation on the mat next term. Boxing also attracted its ring admirers. The manly art has never received its just deserts at City College and it is with great satisfaction that we note its ever increasing popularity among the students. Gems arc always available and it is hoped that the sport will develop with time. We note that boxing is taking a strangle hold in the intercollegiate world, a league having been proposed. It is our hope soon to see a son of our own Alma Mater defending his College’s fame in the roped square. Cross Country Coach Manayer Captain L. B. Mackenzie J. Shannon , '20 A. J. Roicnblvm, '20 A.

That sums up the cross-country team—lack of practice. While other teams were averaging twenty-five miles a week, the Lavender representatives were making ten. There were very few candidates. Meets were lost to Columbia and Lafayette, while last place was the dish served out to the College at the Intercollegiate . Rube Dicker, '21, was elected to lead the squad next year.

The first event of note in the fall term 1 1 £ was the Fresh-Soph fracas as a consummation of the Tug- o'-Wnr. When the Dean's Office published the ruling that Freshmen and Sophomores were to be suspended from all extra-curricular activities, the Council passed a resolution, condemning the action of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes in their wanton destruction of property in the Gymnasium Building. Up to last year no great amount of foresight was employed in arranging dates for College affairs. Not infrequently would one important function follow close upon the heels of another. The students were unacquainted with the sequence of events; there could be no planning ahead. The Council instituted the calendar system. The calendar of important College events for the entire year is mapped. On Friday evening, December twelfth, the All-College Lavender Smoker was held in Hammond Hall. There were the basketball team with Coach Nat Holman, and Professors Guthrie and Saxton; there were sand- wiches and soda water, ice cream and cake—and.............entertainment, par excellence, by the Variety Players. It was an inspiring event and a source of great confidence to the basketball team. At the end of the fall term, the old Constitution of the Council having proved inadequate, a new one was adopted. Some of the far-reaching changes embodied are: 1. Freshmen arc deprived of Student Councillors. The officers of the class otherwise entitled to sit at the Council's meetings arc to retain their places. ‘2. Lower Classmen arc not to vote in awarding insignia. 3. Two blackballs arc necessary to withhold insignia. 4. The Council has control of all organizations within the College; it has power to grant and revoke charters. Insignia were awarded to Arthur Taft, Francis E. Faragoh, Sidney J. Bloom, Sidney Goodfriend, Robert R. Sugarman and Professor Charles A. Downer, to the latter in recognition of his great services to the College. During the following term Clarence Hornung, Jack Cottin, and Aaron Furman received their letters. The first Student Council meeting of the spring term 1R20 took place on February 18th. The Lavender Book had been issued in new form under the editorship of Sid Bloom. The Council decreed that U” members be given copies. NINE! MIIC Page One Hundred Might page One Hundred Sine History of Student Council Continued Another event of liveliest interest was the revival of the Varsity Debating Team. For a space, debating, except in the Public Speaking classrooms, had had a spell of lethargy. The Student Council appointed I.eo Linder as Chairman of the “Debating Committee,” with powers to arrange a debate with some other col- lege. Manhattan College accepted the challenge of C. C. N. Y. to debate on the question, Resolved that the existing legal and economic relationships between Capital and I.abor make desirable the usd of injunc- tions in the key industries.” The debate was held in the Great Hall on the evening of May seventh. The Council here renewed a commendable precedent and debating will be in time to come as much a varsity ac- tivity as athletics. . ' On the afternoon of the day for the debate with Manhattan, City College celebrated; as it had l ccn doing every May 7th since 1848, its Charter Day. The Student Council managed the luncheon through its Joint Committee on Student Affairs. Not only in College matters is the Council achieving results by its earnest work, but it stands ready to aid any patriotic movement, in the name of Alma Mater. During the Red Cross Drive the Council was on the job ami lately the collection of funds in the College for America's gift to France was entirely rested with the Council. The publication of the Lavender Rook has been mentioned. At the time of this writing subscriptions are being solicited for a College Song Hook which will, be published and issued under direction of the Student Council. . • • , '• -v Truly, the Student Council's business envelops the most vital College affairs. And the scope of its business is expanding. The organisation of the “U” was a bold move, but judicious. It brought more order than all the | ctty laws and resolutions lu-forc it. It brought prestige to the Student Council body. Who can say where Student control of College affairs will reach a limit? So long as our Student Councillors are loyal to Alma Mater and ambitious for her fame, so long will the sphere of the influence of the Council penetrate further and further. - NINE T TVVEN TY MIICl OCOSM Page One Hundred Ten umotf Athletic Association Stuilcnt Council ('lass Organizations A.

'20 With the impetus given to student activities last year upon the return of the College to a peace-time basis, it was felt that extra-curricular activities could be carried out more effectively if the five major organ- isations were to unite financially. Accordingly, the Athletic Association, the Student Council, the class organ- izations, The Campus, and College Mercury joined to form the C. C. N. Y. Union. Membership in the U entitles the student to all the privileges previously offered individually by each organization. The receipts of the U” are divided proportionately according to the needs of the activities com- prising the Union. The collection of a single fee for membership in all the various organizations of the College eliminates the duplication of activities and the expense of several campaigns and enables all phases of extra-curricular ac- tivity to contribute to one unified, efficient campaign. The publications are insured a sound financial basis and arc enabled to plan their work months ahead of time because of the U.” ninet: MIIC Page One Hundred Eleven Clip Sjnmir nf ffitmnro Hi.oom COTTIN Furman Clip SiijhpBl Upward fflrarrrii ot Hip Suaiguiu Goookiiirni� Morn uno Fakaooii 3for Urrnirr !ii (ilollrgr Suuakmak (top); Prof. Dqwnkk (center); Taft (bottom) NINE'I MUC NTY 3 §M Page One Hundred Twelve The Alumni Association of the College of the City of New York [Incorporated] ©fttrrn? of thr Alumni Lee Kohns, '84 .

Graduates paving dues are the Active members, nnd non-graduate members of the graduated classes arc eligible to election as Associate members. The dues arc $2.00, as fixed in '58. Life membership, $25.00. Member in good standing are supplied with the City College Quarterly, and the monthly Alumni numbers of The Campus. The Corporation holds one regular business meeting and one public banquet each year. During this year, by personal contribution of certain Alumni, an Alumni Bureau has been established at the College for the pur]x sc of stimulating and organizing Alumni interests and activities, collecting addresses, archives, etc., nnd generally representing the Alumni at the College. lx-wis S.

Despite the decidedly social character of the Club, the members have shown themselves ready to discuss in their own informal way some of the big problems that confront the alumni of C. C. N. Y. One of the lending, Lf not the lending spirit of the 20th Century Graduates Club, is Mr. Lewis Sayre Hurchard, '77, whose constant efforts for Alma Mater cannot be praised too highly. On May 20th, the biggest dinner that the Club has held this year took place. A goodly number of alumni attended and welcomed into their folds the '20 men, who were present as guests. The Club is doing the Alumni a real service by contributing a large portion of the money necessary to pay the cx|K-nscs connected with the new Alumni office established at the College. In connection with the drive for a club-house for the City College Alumni, the 20th Century Club has inaugurates! a special campaign to aid the work of securing funds for this new home of the alumni.

Since then it hns grown .iiid developed, under the able direction of Professor Coleman, until it now ranks among the foremost clubs of the College. The fourteenth year of the Club's existence has been fraught with ninny events which have tended to make it one of the most important years in the history o f the organization. Early in the year the Club secured the Rev. Martin E. Fahy, a former chaplain of the A. E. F., to act as spiritual director. After serving in this capacity for a few months Father Fnhv was appointed chaplain of the Catholic Actors' Guild and thus taken from us. The annual banquet was held on November 29,and was well attended by both alumni and undergrad- uates. Members of the Faculty were among the speakers. On December 16 the members of the Club attended a reception given to Archbishop Hayes at Dclmon ico's by the New York Province of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs. During a three-day conference of the New York Province the Club acted as the host to all the College Catholic Clubs in the City, nt n dance held in our gymnasium on January 2.

It is the local chapter of the Intercollegiate Zionist Association of America. The pnr|H� se of the society is mainly educational, helping those interested to participate more actively in the Zionist movement. Bi-monthly English forums are held, at which distinguished people address the society. Among those who have spoken at the English forums during the past year arc Bernard Itoscnhlatt. President of the Zion Commonwealth; Itcuhcn Brainin. Editor of Hatorcn, and Dr. Berkson. Educational Expert. Each fortnight the Hebrew group, which has an average attendance of fifty students, is treated to a lec- ture in Hebrew. “The Economic Possibilities of Palestine,” by Mr. Wilhansky. the world-famous agronomist, and “The University of Palestine, by Dr. Turov, formerly the editor of the “Hebrew Monthly,” were two of several Hebrew lectures delivered during the past two semesters. One of the greatest accomplishments of the past year is the establishment of a Students' House under the auspices of the United Synagogues of America nnd situated op|M sitc the main entrance to the College. Thru the liberality of Justice Brandeis of the Supreme Court, an annual prize of one hundred dollars is given to the student writing the best essay on a Zionist topic, while a bronze medal is the reward of the writer who wins second honors. The activities of the society arc not lacking in the social element. On Jan. 3. 1920, a dance given in the College gymnasium proved to be a huge success.

Since the beginning of the new venr Phrcnocosmin lifts I seen able to turn its attention to the realization of some of its fundamental purposes, of cultivating the iRSthetic nnd argumentative ]M wcr of the members,’' nnd of fostering a lasting friendship and good fellowship among them.” Interesting .programs have been given, and these have been followed by general discussions, providing extremely enjoyable evenings. Phrcnocosmin has thus taken the first step toward the attainment of its former standards. And so. while the results of the debate cannot la- predicted at this early date. Phrcnocosmin is confident of winning. Pending of essays, poems and other original work done by the members were, as usual, regularly fea- tured during the past year. It has been gratifying to note the steady growth in the quality of the compositions, some of which were Inter published in College Mercury. At the Friday meetings all the manuscripts were dis- cussed and the authors often gained valuable advice.

The activities of the club were numerous, the speakers and lecturers were of a high calibre and the social feeling among the mehibers was heightened as never before. � One of the pleasantest events of the year was the visit paid by the entire Chemical Society of Hunter College to the City College Society- Prof. Baskcrvillc addressed the gathering briefly and then with the help of the rest of the society escorted the fnir visitors through the various laboratories and halls. Refreshments were served in true chemical fashion. Beakers took the place of punch cups, glass tubes were used instead of straws and evaporating dishes replaced china for serving the ice cream. The society was the guest of the Pratt Institute this Spring and spent a most enjoyable day there. The Chemical Society has also established friendly relations with the Engineering Society and great co- operation exists between them. It has heightened this friendly feeling by engaging (ami defeating) the {En- gineering Society in a baseball game. r� £ NINET] :nty mhck©@o§m Page One Thirty Pay One Thirty-One • r Euyiucrrituji £ urirtij Simon Sonkin .

The great object for which it had worked so much was realized: the forming of an Engineering School. By action of the Board of Trustees the School of Technology came into being last 1'all, and Prof. Fox was appointed acting-dean. However, there was still more work to lie done. Engineering degrees were not yet authorized. However, after herculean efforts by the Engineering faculty and the Society, the Board of Trustees authorized tin- grant- ing of M.E., C.E., and E.E., starting in June, 1021. The Society has been very fortunate in having such advisors ns Professors Stcinman and McCloughiln, who were ever at the service of the Club and with whose co-operation so much was accomplished. They car- ried the students' tight to the Board of Trustees. Construction work on the new engineering building has been resumed. More credit to the Engineering faculty and Society. Through the zeal of Professor Stcinman the mem hers, of the Society were fortunate enough to hear such men ns I)r. Gustave I.indenthal, dean of Suspension-bridge engineers; Dr. T. Kennnrd Thompson, originator of the Greater New York project; Robert B. Stanton, one of the greatest engineers in the world; and Charles ! Evan Fowler, the greatest authority on bridge foundations in the world. Other activities of the Society included a baseball game with the members of the ('hem Society, who defied Newton's laws in batting out a victory. What progress the Engineering Society is destined to make next year cannot be foretold; it must nec- essarily be great. nimet; MW NTY 0 §M Page One Thirty-Two N1NET MEC ENTY 0§M Payc One Thirty-Three Secretary Treasurer Pice-Pretident President Circolo Dante Alighieri . . Nicholas Hkcmo Hkrman I.aiidamo John I)k Roha Humiikiit Sataiani The Circolo Dante Alighieri was organised in 1910 by five Italian students of City College. Their pur- pose was twofold—first, to promulgate Italian culture and literature and to exercise n united intlucncc for good on the Italian community, and second, to get together to undertake social activities and thus form everlasting friendships. Today the Circolo has a membership of nearly one hundred active men. During the past year the society has been very active in social and in educational fields. The two great- est events of the year were a smoker held on Dee. 27 and a huge successful dance at Wallace Hall on May 22. The year was interspersed with a Thanksgiving excursion, an Batter outing, and the annual hike. The club also held Fall and Spring social reunions in the Webb Room. On several occasions the society was addressed by prominent men, among them Consul-General Tritonj. Dr. F.ttnri and Dr. Costa. Its basketball and base- ball teams competed successfully against the Italian organizations of other colleges in this city. The club now has a graduate society called the Collegiate Circle, which is actively aiding its work. The Circolo played a very important role in organizing a movement, conceived by it before the war, to unite the Italian societies of the various colleges and universities in the country into one powerful organization, known as the Intercollegiate Association. At present it is composed of societies from the College of the City of New York, Hunter College, Columbia University, New York University and Polytechnic Institute- The Circolo Dante Alighieri, still young, promises to 1m- of vital influence in the community. i i Page One Thirty-Four i Piiye One Thirty-Five COfti re ta Gustav I ’.

Faculty Director President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer St aye Manager The activity of the Dramatic Society this year far outshone that of any preceding year. Encouraged by the remarkable success of its play in the Townsend Harris Auditorium last year, tin- Society undertook to pre- sent a show of greater proportions in the Washington Irving Theatre. Accordingly, on February 22. I 20, four one-act plays were presented before a large audience of College men and their friends. The show was a complete triumph. Its equal had never been witnessed at the College since the founding of the Society by James K. Ilackctt in 1888. The coaching of the plays was done, and done remarkably well, by Mr. Gustav F. Schulz, who is Faculty Director; Mr. Joseph I.. Tynan of the English Department, and Miss Muriel Ho| c, who is professionally engaged in Dramatics and who kindly volunteered her services. For the first time also, the experiment of assigning feminine parts to young ladies of the evening session was tried. The results were exceedingly encouraging, and the precedent will most probably be followed in nil future shows. Professional service was obtained for the management of all staging and lighting effects. The affair was sujierbly acted, directed and staged. It is quite significant that the society has joined the ranks of the exponents of the newest developments in modern drama—the I.ittle Theatre movement- A detailed account of the Varsity Show will be found on another page of this book.

The result of this feel- ing was the organization of the Variety Players, with the advancement of vaudeville as its prime pur|x sc. The call for membership brought forth a large n imber of men talented in various directions. The list includes comedians, dancers, magicians, singers, acrobats ami musicians. The organization has served the College so far in several instances by furnishing entertainment for Col- legiate functions. It also took an active part in the Varsity Football Fund Drive. It was originally planned to hold a Varsity Show in February for the benefit of the Fund. But the plan was abandoned because of the con- flict it might have caused with the Varsity Show. However, in May, when the Varsity Show was past history and the boards were clear for action, the Variety Plavcis took up the project again and on May 21 an entertainment consisting of six vaudeville acts, followed by a dance, was presented at the Stuyvcsant High School Auditorium. The venture turned out a huge success. A larg? body of the men of the college, together with their friends, fifled the auditorium and heartily applauded the excellent production. As a financial venture it was likewise a success. Fifty per cent of the profits went to the Varsity Football Fund and the turn-over was con- siderable.

Aiming to “provide a forum, open and impartial, for the presentation and discussion of every view- point, every intelligent approach to modern social problems,” the Social Problems Club has conducted as- set! blics, lectures, forums and study circles.

The first real accomplishment of the Club was to canvass the Freshman class for material for the various activities of the College. On registration Day. when the incoming students were assembled in the assigned rooms waiting to In- initiated into the routine of the College, m tubers of the club approached them with questionnaires and inquired about their major activities in High School and their preferences in the field of extra-curricular work. From these lists men were selected to lie coached in the various activities, so that plenty of material may be available later on. The «'suits of this first attempt have proved very encouraging. Many Freshmen who otherwise would not have plunged into extra-curricular work until their Junior or Senior years, are already in the swim. The Club also plans to np|M int a number of advisory committees to assist the Freshmen in their activities and to help cultivate the proper spirit among them. It also plans to distribute buttons to active Freshmen in recognition of their participation in Collegi affairs. Mcm! ership in the Werner Club is of an honorary character. Only those who have shown their ability in tin service of the College are considered for admission into the Club. However, no preference is given to men interested in athletics. Club workers, class officers and men doing work on the periodicals all have an equal chance. The Wcrnfr Club hopes to lx of great service to tin College during the coming year.

This Inst term the club undertook an investigation of three thousand county budgets. Original reports were obtained from county clerks. This work was undertaken under the guidance of Professor William B. Guthrie, whose helping hand has been prominent in all the activities of the society.

It has attracted students in- terested in historic research work. The aim of the History Club is threefold. First, it aims to invite prominent historians from other in- stitutions to address the society on some phase of history. Second, it aims, by its club meetings, to bind to- gether and firmly establish a lasting companionship and friendship among the members themselves. Thirdly, it aims to take trips to places of interest. The History Club, for a new organisation in the College, has done remarkably well. It has brought to the College such prominent men as Professor Sidney Usher, the noted lecturer, and Mr. Ion, a member of the Greek Delegation to the Peace Conference, to address the students. In all its undertakings the club has found a willing hcl| cr in Professor Schuyler, whose able work on behalf of the society has been very helpful. Professor Mead, who has lectured before the club several times, was also instrumental in bringing about greater interest in the organization.

Skllinoer, '21 Max Landau, '22 The Seven Arts Club was organized this term to bring to the student body n keener appreciation of lit- erature and of the line arts in general. With the aim in view of doing purely literary work, the Society stands before the student body as a unique organization, soliciting membership from nil the literary men of the Col- lege. The “Seven Arts arc Architecture, Dancing, Dramatics, Literature, Music, Painting and Sculpture. Since its conception the Society has held open meetings addressed by outside speakers and members of the Faculty. This phase of activity has placed the Society in a favorable light as an organization desirous of bringing literary matter of importance for an open discussion before the student body. Club meetings, at which the members presented original work, were also featured on the term's program. The papers dealt di- rectly with one of the fine arts. They were prepared thoroughly, and were discussed ami criticised by the mem- bers. Besides these two phases of its activity, the Society occasionally takes trips to various places of interest, theatres, lectures and museums. With the Drama and Sculpture included among the “Seven Arts, these trips are but meant to fulfill the purpose of the organization. Professors Coleman, Von Klenze, Hunt anil Stair have been very much interested in the Society. All of them have delivered elaborate addresses. Great credit must be awarded them for their active participation and for their interest. They have all lectured upon some popular phase of art and literature. Professor Cole- man on “John Masefield,” Professor Von Klenze on TJie Appreciation of Art in American Life,” Professor Hunt on Art and Life,” and Professor Stair on Mark Twain. The project is a new one. Never before in the history of the College has such an organization been formed in the day session. With a keener appreciation of the fine arts comes a more wholesome existence. The Club, aiming for purity in literature and art, fulfills this object, and desires to interest nil students in what has formerly been merely names to them.

To make up for the withheld issue, a special double number was put out the fol- lowing week.

Some of the innovations of this last edition of the Lavender Book were the handy shape of the all-College Manual, which was made to fit the vest pocket; the stiff cloth binding, which insured durability; pictures of the President, of the Stadium, and views of the College buildings from different angles. To induce the student to have the Lavender Book always with him, schedule and memoranda pages were included to add to the general usefulness of the l ook.

The Play was Bye-Bye Beowulf, a satirical farce with music. The play was the product of Kef’ Karagoh, the music that of Ned Levin, while the lyrics were supplied by Eddie Kliscu. Both the author and the composer were '20 men, and so were the majority of the members of the cast. The name of Karagoh was in itself a box-office attraction but here Kef surpassed himself, producing a show that was unanimously votes! the best class-play ever presented by C. C. X. Y. There were some who were willing to say that it was superior to any other Broadway play. From the first curtain to the ensemble song in the finale the audience never once Stopped laughing. The clever dialogue, swift action and side-split- ting plot all contributed to the general merriment. And Ned Levin’s music, haunting catchy, likeable tunes! With Eddie Eliscu's snappy, sophisticated lyrics, every word of which meant a world of beauty or humor, the smooth melodics got hold of the audience nnd never let go. for even when the last lights were extinguished and the lobby was full of still smiling faces, the songs were still whistled. The success of the show was in the largest measure due to the self-sacrificing work of Irv I.ipton, who left no stone unturned in his efforts to put the show across. I.ipton organized and manages! business and publicity campaigns that were marvelous in their ingenuity. In his work he was aided greatly by the cap- able Artie Lipnick, who had charge of the tickets. The clever posters and slogans of Broudy, the publicity manager, were the show of the College for many weeks preceding the performance. The properties were in Kinkel’s charge ami once more he sacrificed all his time to perfect every scenic detail. But the cast! Headed by that dynamo of energy, Edilie Kliscu, whose knowing, sure, artistic teaching told on every line spoken on the stage, on every move made, here was a cast composed of the very best per- formers the College had at tier command. There can be no picking of stars in such a superior aggregation. Kef Karagoh scored a tremendous hit as lie portrayed his own creation A1 Gebra. “Kef” proved irresistible from his very entrance. He was fun personified and his every line was greeted with roars of laughter. Joe McKcnnfc, in the role of Bunk, was never la-hind in evoking mirth. Joe’s superb pantomime, his capacity for registering every word and his wonderful acting endeared him to the audience. Sweet-voiced Regue again and again was forerd to repeat his songs. He added such a great deal to the music that several times the show had to be held up to permit him to satisfy the demands of the audience. Raskin, as Prof. Bone, proved the other nightingale of the evening. One never knew whether he was ap- plauded for his pleasing voice or for the splendid portrayal. NINETY MH(C Page Two Hundred Two Syl Shalvcy carried off the honors as Anna Lytics. He was the most pleasing she ever seen at the College. There was good acting on his part and clever interpretation. Every move of Slmlvcy’s was in character and on the whole his well rounded performance was very well linked. Sid Unger was the other girl, the timid bride and proved a never-ending source of humor. Quite another type of woman was Gussow, who presented a mother-in-law. Into the part of the friv- olous old woman Mortv brought so much natural comedy that he managed to become one of the favorites of the evening. Beside bis acting he was the premier dancer of the evening and received many an ovation. Avrutis, as Prof. Grubtree, could be taken for the original of the College favorite whom he portrayed. Every move, every inflection brought him signs of approval. Birnbaum as Cyclone was very funny, while Krinsky actually ran away with the show as I)e Frog. Frownsome was delightfully done by Leo Drachsler and Kennedy again and again bad to wait for the applause to subside to deliver the lines of Michael Blar- ney. In the smaller parts Taft and Cottin starred. “BYE-BYE BEOWULF” Satirical farce Kith Untie in Ttco Acts By Francis Edwards Faragoii Music by .

A source of pride to C. C. N. V., a never-to-be-forgotten evidence of the untiring energy and wonderful ability of the Dramatic Society. The novel feature was the presence of ladies from the Evening Session in the cast. This helped ma- terially to lift the show above the amateur brand generally displayed in colleges. The tremendous lalrors of staging rested in the capable hands of Harold Fink. President, Bill Avrutis, Vie Kleinfeld, Henry I.ifxchitz, Wilfred McCracken, A. M. Finkcl and Martin Kennedy. The greatest admiration is due to Mr. Gustav F. Schultz of the Public Speaking Department for his superb coaching. Miss Muriel Hope's artistic help was responsible for the success of Hunger. Miss Hope cannot be thanked sufficiently for her untiring work for the show. Mr. Joseph I.. Tynan supervised Augus- tus and his touch was noticeable throughout the play. The present performance was the second one since the rebirlh of the organization. Last year's bill consisted of The Lost Silk Hat, by Lord Dunxany; Lone Stone,” by Francis E. Faragoh; The Sweeps of '98, by Masefield and “The Crimson Flower,” hv Harrv L Sliumwav. AUGUSTUS DOES HIS BIT fit George Bernard Shaw Lord Augustus .....................

A L™J largr audience was present to listen to the six original orations and three declamations which were deliv- ered that night. The prize of the Hoard of Trustees for the l est original oration was awarded to Henry Miller, who spoke on “The Seeds of War, pleading for a newer conception of national greatness other than brute force or commercial supremacy. Well organised in thought, calm and convincing in delivery, Miller did not fail to leave an impression on his hearers. The Drummond Prize was won hy I.ro Linder, who offered a solution to the present industrial controversy in The Key to the Industrial Problem.” I.indcr advanced the argument that class strife would In- reduced to almost nothing if labor controlled the industries ami worked the latter for the sake of production and not for profit only. Edward Kliscu captured the Kocmcr Prize for Poetry Dec- lamations. His delivery of the very difficult The Grave of a Hundred Dead” hy Kipling, was filled with feeling and was remarkably vivid. The chairman of the evening was Professor Mosher, of the Public Speaking Department. Professors Karl F. Palmer, Samuel H. Heckman and Warren G. Hubert rendered the decisions.

ENTY ®l)p ® tt i u r Banquet The very final affair in the history of 1920 as a class was the Senior Banquet, held at La Maisonette on the night of June 24. This was the very last occasion on which the graduating class met as an under- graduate organization, and the night was replete with events that will greatly contribute to the pleasant mem- ories of the four eollegiatc years. Gathered around the banquet table once more the men beheld their friends and once more, forgetting the quasi-serious aspect of the affair, there gave vent to all the fun and mirth that was always theirs since freshmen days. The toastmaster was Francis E. Faragob, whom the class had voted the wittiest. And Fcf demon- strated how well he deserved the distinction. His keynote speech and his calls for the various speakers were The always reliable Prof. Guthrie proved the big gun as far as the night’s entertainment was con- cerned. Never failing in his witty remarks, always ready with a side-splitting repartee, he kept his audi- ence in roars of laughter. Toward the end of his speech he introduced a serious note and this was quite as well liked ns his humor. Prof. Baskerville, the other honorary member of the class, gave a close race to his colleague. “C. B.” wns in his best and his pleased audience did not allow him to terminate his sj ccch. They wanted more. Charlie Harsany reminded his hearers of all the glory of dear old '20, of all the struggles and pleas- ures. Sandor Ross, his fellow-president, once more asked them to be as loyal to the class when out of college as they had been during their undergraduate days. Jack Cottin was humorous as he spoke of the days of his regime, while Artie Taft reminded his class- mates of the athletic glories of ’20. Aaron Furman proved to be a regular orator as he eloquently said good- bye to his friends. There was splendid music, good entertainment and the ever heart-warming class and college songs. humor itself.
