To the Class of 1924: Maeterlinck, in his Life of the Bee , tells of the young naturalist who v as rapidly nearing the critical stage in his researches. Years of exacting labor were about to bo put to the test. The strain of the last weeks of feverish work proved too great. The young man’s sight suddenly failed him. Doomed to a life of eternal darkness, he nevertheless took heart. He was seized with a passion to mako others see what he saw. The young naturalist set his own wortc aside, and sought a fellow student rrade of similar stuff. In the succeeding years he trained his assistant in the technique of his chosen subject and imbued the younger man with the scientist’s courage and passion for truth. Then, they both v ent back to the unfinished tasks, the older scholar soeing through the oyes of the younger. For years mankind has sought to evolve a society solidly founded and guaranteeing international peace. Students the world over were consecrating themselves to the task of discover!rg the foundations of this new order, based on understanding and justice, and, as nearly as might bo, ending war and all its horrors. It seomed as if they were reaching critical stages in their researches. But suddenly mankind lost its sight. Even thoso of us who do not preach the gospel of despair are dismayed to find that distrust, envy and ugly hate possess the hearts of men. You, young men of tlie Class of 1924, who were not active participants in the great struggle to provent the enthronement of might, must be the new seekers of truth and goodwill. Your sight is keen; your training hero has given you, surely, a love of service. We look to you to complete the unfinished tasks. V e look to you to bring to rich consummation the earlier aims of th ihumano arts and sciences. We look to you to cariy • THE 1 924- • MICROCOSM £ euenty-fuie $rars nf JIjp (Enllrye 1349-1924 OVKRNOR BERKELEY � f Virginia historically crystallized the attitude of all enemies of free education in America two centuries ago, when, in reply to the query of the English Comniisioner of Foreign Plantations as to what course was taken in Virginia for public instruction, he said: ‘‘I thank Ciod there arc no free schools nor printing-presses, and I hope we shall not have them these hundred years; for learning has brought disobedience, and heresy and sects into the world, and printing lias divulged them, and libels against the best of governments: (iod keep us from both!' This declaration, typical of much that has persisted in the attitude of apparent hostility to the ever-growing needs of higher education, is a direct challenge to the great experiment which made possible the College of the City of New York. Has the college justi- fied the confidence of those voters, who, by referendum in 1847, made possible its creation? Have we, the seventy-five college generations who have passed through its portals, given to our city of ourselves ceaselessly and unstintingly? Have we kept the faith with our Ephcbic Oath? The only answer conics through deeds, not through words. Yes, City College has kept the faith. For seventy-five years Alma Mater has sent on their way men whose personality and attainments are writ large in public service: Bernard M. Baruch, ’89. Director of the Allied War Industries Board during the war and donor of the institute of Politics at Williamstown; Col. (Icorgc W. Goethals, who made possible the monumental task symbolized by the words: Panama Canal;” Henry Morgenthau, '84, former American Am- bassador to Turkey; Roswell B. Burchard, '80 former Lieutenant-Governor of Rhode Island, to mention just a few. In every field of public welfare have the alumni of City College been prominent. In the Drama, James K. Hackctt, '91, the internationally famous Macbeth” of our decade; in Art, our own Leigh Hunt, 77, David C. Taylor. '90, critic. Arnold William Brunner. 78, celebrated architect, whose work in- cludes Mt. Sinai Hospital, the Columbia School of Mines, and the Lewisohn Stadium; and Edward Morse Shephard, 79, architect of the new college; in the field of belles lettres, Richard Rogers Bowker, '68, editor and critic; Arthur twenty-two “s; . c 3 • THE 1 92 + • MICROCOSM Guitcrman, '91, popular poet, Montrose J. Moses, '99, dramatic critic and international authority on Ibsen and Maeterlinck; Upton Sinclair, ’97, social reformer, and author of “The Jungle,” “The Brass Cheek” and The Goose- Step”; Samuel A. Tanenbaum, '03, noted Shakespearian scholar, and co-editor of the Journal of l’sychanalysis and Sexology, George Sylvester Vicrcck. '06, and Lewis Freeman Mott, '83. In the world of business, John Claflin, ’69, Lee Kohns, '84, James ('. McCrecry, ’75, and Isaac N. Seligman, '53, have all made their mark. Among our educators have been, Thomas W. Churchill, '82, former President of the Board of Education, Bash ford Dean, '86, professor of Vertebrate Zoology at Columbia, Charles Derlath, Jr., ’94, Dean of the College of Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado, and George S. Davis, '80, President of Hunter College, to which may be added the names of Edward Walmcslcy Stitt, ’81. Albert Ulinann, ’81, and Edward C. Zabriskic, '93. Richard Floyd Clarke, '80, stands out in the field of American legal thinkers and among those who occupy official positions of distinction at the bar today are Thomas W. Churchill. '82. Robert F. Wagner, ’98, and Julius M. Mayer, ’84. Among the religious leaders in our alumni body have been the Rev. Dr. Charles Prospero Fagnani, 73, professor of Biblical Literature at the Union 'rheological Seminary since 1892; Samuel Macaulay Jackson, '70, eminent church historian and editor of the SchaIT-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge; Stephen S. Wise, ’91, Samuel Schulman, '86 and Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Her , now Chief Rabbi of England. Distinguished in the field of science have been the late Cleveland Abbe, famous meteorologist and head of the U. S. Weather Bureau; the late Charles Avery Doremus, 70, for many years professor of Chemistry at the college; Ira Remsen, '65; in the field of medi- cine, Robert Abbe, 70. Nathan E. Brill, 77, and Sigmund Pollitzcr, 79, fore- most specialist on Dermatology. To these may be added the names of Jerome Alexander. ’96. expert on colloidal chemistry; Professor Selig Hccht, ’13, of Harvard University, bio-chemist; Dr. William Crozicr, '12, professor of Zool- ogy at Rutgers; Dr. I.

Each generation has added to the .endless chain of loyalty to the college a link of service to the community, and a standard most difficult of attainment has been set for the two hundred and fifty men of Twenty-four, who have drunk full of the life-giving sustenance of Alma Mater. Just seventy-five years ago, on the 15th of January, 1S49, the gates of the new college building on Twenty-Third Street were thrown open to welcome the 143 young men who comprised the first class. A humble beginning, to be sure, but then King’s College, the well known Morningsidc institution today, u turn I y-three 5 =3d found itself launched on its career with a half dozen students and Harvard found no need of adding a second man to its faculty staff” until sixty years after its founding. Our Military Science courses, in 1924 arc directly descend- ant from the great West Point tradition of the college’s early days. From Horace Webster, a product of the U. S. Military Academy, who held the post of President for twenty-one years, there emanated a tradition of strict discip- line and a military atmosphere which remained with the college during its adolescence and blossomed forth full grown during the recent war. In those days, a concerted hue and cry for aesthetics on a wholesale scale would have incurred anathema, for a rigid course in mathematics was the backbone of the curriculum. Hut, as Philip J. Moscnthal, '83, in his Essay on The Spirit of the College” has pointed out, the spirit of the finer culture was not lacking. If we had the military influence of Webster and Webb, we bad the literary influence of Anthon and Barton.” “Ye students think hole great a man is he Who ean at once a Harare and Webster be. was the amusing tribute of the college poet to the first President, earnest and dogmatic, and wholesomely intolerant of indolence. Richard Bowker, tells us the Doctor was rather a combination of Cato and Andrew Jackson. He stamped his mark indelibly on the faculty and student l� otly of his time, and to the venerable alumnus, he is the sort of man who looms up in memory as the years go by. For thirty-three years following the retirement of Dr. Webster (1869), General Webb, Civil War hero of Pensacola, Bull Run and the Seven Days’ Hattie, contributed his untiring efforts to the cause of the college. By his historic appearance on the floor of the state senate in 1898. he was directly instrumental in securing the passage of the supplementary act providing for the sum of $200,(XX) for the new college site. Staunch in his opposition to the new elective propaganda” and to the modernist innovations in higher education. Webb faithfully piloted the ship through its most dangerous age. With Hliphalct Nott, McCosh, Barnard and Eliot, he deservedly should be ranked among the really distinctive college presidents in the history of higher education in America. During the period of General Webb’s incumbency, two acts were passed which largely increased the college’s field for service. In 1882 the state legislature repealed that section of the statutes relating to the college which had named attendance at the public schools of New York City as a perequisite for admission, thus throwing open the college to all young men of sufficient preparation. In 1900 the legislature created a separate Board of Trustees, to be ap| ointed by the Mayor, and to be composed of nine members. An interregnum of one year, during which Professor Alfred George Comp- ton served as acting-president, followed the resignation of President Webb. twenty-four • THE 1 924- • MICROCOSM John Huston Finley, formerly president of Knox College and later professor of politics at Princeton was inaugurated president of City College in September 1903 on the same day as the cornerstone of the greater college was laid. His was the decade of intensive activity which ushered in the Modern Era for the college. Under his aegis, night and extension courses were added. Upon his retirement in 1913 to accept the leadership of the State Department of Edu- cation, the trustees chose Sidney Edward Mezes, president of the University of Texas, as his successor. The immediate results of the new policy were seen in the pronounced impetus given the movement for student democracy and self-government and a siege of peerless activity, extensive in its scope, on the part of the administration. By 1921, C.C.N.Y. had widened its sphere of influence and justified a virtual university status by the introduction of three new schools, all supplementing the work of the venerable College of Liberal Arts and Science. These were, the School of Business and Civic Administration, under Professor Frederick B. Robinson, the School of Tech- nology, headed by Professor Frederick Skene, and the School of Education, of which Professor Paul Klapper is dean. All these schools carry work leading to graduate degrees. During the Great War, City College made an enviable record for full- spirited patriotism and whole-hearted service. On the fifteenth of February, 1917, the faculty, subsequent to student mass meetings, voted to place itself and all the resources of the college, l oth physical and intellectual, at the service of the national government, and on April 3rd the trustees corroborated this resolution and transmitted it to President Wilson. And these words were something more than mere sounding brass. The first battalion for college men in the country was organized by the Evening Session of the college. This battalion drilled in the Stadium at night and boasted representatives from twenty-six American and five foreign universities. Two hundred and sixty-five Day Session undergraduates joined up under the Stars and Stripes before the S.A.T.C. transformed the college into a train- ing camp. The C.C.N.Y, ambulance, sent to the front with the Metropolitan Unit through the contributions of the alumni, and with Malcolm B. Schloss. a sophomore as driver was twice decorated for gallantry in action. The first Signal Corps School established in the country was set up at City College. Responding at once to the emergency call from “over there,” the college de- molished its forge and foundry rooms and turned them into a multiplex tele- graph laboratory. In less than two months the first contingent of multiplex operators was on its way from the college to France. At the Peace Conference in Paris following the Great War, President Mezes acted as chairman of the Division of Experts attached to the American delegation, and in this capacity rendered notable service. During his absence abroad, Dean Carleton L. Brownson served as acting-President. With the President on the Board of Experts went Nelson P. Mead, Stephen Pierce Wo twenty-five .1 • THE 1 924- ■ microcosm Duggan, Lewis Freeman Mott, William Bradley Otis, and Justin Hartley Moore. The college soon returned to its peace-time status but has fortunately still retained its high war-time blood pressure for comprehensive and extensive activity. In recognition of the catholicity of interest, the disinterestedness of scholarship and the freedom from dogma which have ever characterized col- lege tradition, and in line with the genial tolerance of Nicholas, its patron saint, the banners of the Universities of Berlin, Heidelburg, Prague and Cracow were restored to their rightful positions in the Great Hall of World Learning. To the notable collection has been added the emblem of the great University of Strasbourg. Among the most historic and colorful events in the history of the college was the unveiling of the ancient marble stele from Marathon, presented to the college in the Spring of 192.1 by the Greek government and obtained through the loyal offices of John 11. Finley. The monument, dating from 350 II. C. originally stood near the triumphal mound reared over the bodies of the 192 Athenians who perished in the decisive battle which saved the ancient world from Oriental domination. The ornamental carving on the stone is still clear and the inscriptions are legible. It hears the names of two brothers, El pines and Eunikos, the sons of Elpinikos of the township of Probaiinthium. The tablet has been fittingly placed in the great Greek Stadium, made possible through the munificence of Adolph Lewisohn, which Arnold W. Brunner de- signed along classical lines, with its twenty tiers of seats surrounded by a great collonade of sixty-four Doric columns, sixteen feet high. In their aca- demic settings, both symbolize the contribution that was Greece of a free and untrammclcd search after truth, and such has been the motivating force in the educational policy of Alma Mater throughout its ceaseless pro- gress. “There is an instinctive sense,” wrote John Huston Finley, quoting from Emerson’s essay on J’olilics, “that the highest end of government is the culture of men. that if men can he educated, the institutions will share their im- provement and the moral sentiment will write the law of the land.” The seventy-five years that have passed bear inqicrishablc witness that that in- stinctive sense has found noble expression in the College of the City of New York. May the City College in the remaining years of its first century mark olT a tradition of catholic interest, of profound scholarship, of character-molding, of vigorous maintenance of the policy of the open door” to all worthy seekers after knowledge, regardless of race, religion or wealth, and 'a wholesome, free-spirited democracy, which shall lay the foundations for the Greater College of the Greater Era!

I'ROKKSSOR THOM I'SON thirty-six pi 6MOTATE Ifiaturij of (Elana of Nttirlmt Gitttrnty-fmir N February 9th. 192 ). the exalted Class of 1924 entered City College. But just before the first freshman bad gone through the main en- trance. he was divested of bis hat, socks, tic. trouscrcuffs, etc. by some exceptionally murderous looking . . . (Well, what will we call them, tramps? No, that would never do in a dignified publication like the Mickocosm) . . . members of the ’22 Class, all of whom he would have been killed immediately, had it not been for the presence of a tower of llesh, at the mere sight of whom he shuddered. This tower of flesh was none other than the redoubtable George Shapiro, who was nine tenths of the ’23 Class by weight and two thirds by volume. After a very hotly contested election in which the writer of this article was the only one in the whole class who was not a candidate, Sol Chadabc was finally elected president. He immediately planned big things and in the short space of three months, the class presented a play and held an excursion; things which no freshman class had ever done before. 24 continued to draw upon itself the envy of the upper classmen by easily winning the interclass basketball tournament. This was a foreshadowing of the contributions that '24 was to make to basketball at City College. During the summer preparations were made for the following term, and in September the June class was welcomed. The class was now at its full strength and Fresh-Soph activities began with a bang. The ’24 class was unfortunate in having as its enemy a bunch of longshoremen and lumberjacks who came to C.C.N.Y. simply because they were out of work and bad nothing else to do. (We may as well here remark that Berkowitz's Galahma cheer was one the like of which has never been or ever will again be heard.) However, ’24, after losing the tug of war by the breaking of the rope rose in Its wrath and wiped the whole ’23 class out of the Stadium and into the gutter by winning the Flag Kush in the wonderfully short time of one minute and six seconds. Then came the preparations for the Fresh Feed, that is, getting Louis Warsoff. Louie cannot to this day (nor will he ever) think of what happened on Tenth Avenue after the Clinton reunion without shuddering or yelling for a cop. On that famous occasion he was seized by some fifty or so '24 men and was being escorted as quietly as possible to a waiting automobile. Hut Louie began to screech, veil, shout, tear, pull, curse, weep, pray and everything else, till a growd gathered, and the necessary adjunct of all crowds, the cop. As soon as Louie saw the cop, he delivered his most famous address on the constitutional rights of a citizen to personal safety. He was then safely led home by the police, fire, and street cleaning departments, together with Miltic Greenberg, his everpresent shadow and protector (?). After Louie had successfully escaped from New York State and had taken refuge (no one knows where) '24 held a hazing party of its own at the 15th Regiment Armory at 132nd Street and Seventh Avenue. Corbie got the armory under the pretext that the R.O.T.C. C.C.N.Y.U.S.A. was holding a reunion to promote military training. Roscnhlum and Hamburger were the chief entertainers. The next night came the feed at Murray’s Roman Gardens at 42nd Street and Broadway. The '23 class was caught asleep. The committee worked so efficiently and kept all its plans so well hidden that it almost didn’t know itself when and where everything was to take place. No sophomores were honored. Louie sent a cablegram from Liverpool saying that he had put one over on us. Flicgcl, the other ’23 president, had disappeared a month before the feed and didn’t come hack to college until the Campus came out with the official information that the feed had been held. After the feed came a snake dance which tied up the Times Square district for over an hour. Then the reserves were called out and the exuberant freshmen were forced to retire to some chop sucy joints where several riots immediately took place. The ’23 smoker was held in City Island and 20 or more loyal ’24 men proceeded to break it up. The Sophs were guarded, though they didn’t know it, by both members of the City Island police force, who became highly indignant when Willie Finkel asked whether they were the only two cops on City Island. The sergeant told Willie something about fanning something or other, whereupon Willie promptly shut up only to ask something which, fortunately for Willie, the cop didn’t hear. Then after some small vials containing a substance of not so fragrant odor were thrown into the dining hall, some heroic ’24 man cut the electric wires and the lights went out everywhere except in the dining hall. It so happened that a flashlight picture was being taken at the time, and we freshmen, thinking that we had turned the trick, jumped into a car and went home, all except Mac Wolf, who got lost in the woods and didnt get hack to civilization until a week- after. A dance in the gym closed ’24’s stormy freshman year, and after many loyal ’24 men had flunked out, ’24 turned to subduing the hordes of the incoming ’23 class. During this “stormy” period the ’24 Freshman basketball team, the best in the history of the college, just walked over every team in sight. ’24 lost only one game and that to the Sophs who were led by the wily Leo Klaubcr. The members of the team were Nadcl, captain, Rosonowitz, Prager, Salz, Edclstcin, Perlman, and Waterman. thirty-nine CLASS OF 1924 ■ THE 1 924- • MICROCOSM a. '24, during its second year in college, startled the social world by holding the Arabian (otherwise known as the Chadabian) Nights, which consisted of a dance in the gym, where the Dean told one of his rotten jokes and Professor Hatch recited “The Highwayman;” a smoker at the Savigny Mansion in Harlem; and a dance at tlie Commodore. The term ended wtih the Fresh- men properly squelched the treasury empty, the llunking out of many more loyal ’24 men, and the departure of Hushncl (whereupon City College re- joiced) and Murray Teitelbaum who had more actresses from the Follies on his string than any man alive (so he says). In the Fall, Fresh Soph activities were renewed with ’24’s winning two banners. The term was uneventful, except for the Fresh Feed and the ’24 Smoker. The whole life of Fresh Soph activities was cut olT by the aboli- tion of hazing by our esteemed faculty. ’24 paused long enough to win an- other inter-class basketball tournament. Schnurer was at this time just be- ginning to face all fools bravely and by sheer nerve stuck to the water polo team. .. , Oshins and McCarthy, the ’25 presidents, furnished the entertainment at the '24 Smoker at Kyc Heach, which was a frost in every respect—soup, suc- cess, atmosphere, ,and also in the speech of our own Demosthenes, Corbie, in which lie denounced the throwing around of chicken as a bad way to leave footsteps on the sands of time.” The place happened to he a roadhouse and Schnurer almost got shot for peeking where he had no business to peek. ’25 held its feed in Murray’s, exactly where '24 had held its own feed the year before. The whole N w York police and fire departments kept off the mob of '24 men who had come there to break it up. 'Flic writer of this article was at the feed (involuntarily of course) and takes this opportunity to say that it was rotten in every respect. Then ’24 ended its second year by decisively walloping ’25 in the Frosh Soph basketball game. ’24. at the completion of its sophomore year had won two basketball tournaments, several Frosh Soph banners and had turned out the greatest Freshman basketball team ever seen. Some more loyal ’24 men were flunked out and upper classdom was reached. Much advice was given out to ’26; our successors. Al 1'icker was defeated for the 5th time in a row, in a ’24 election. The only outstanding event of the term was the kidnapping and chastisement of I.on Warsoff, who was taken into a strange house by mistake. I.on seized a leg of the piano and held on for his life, yelling as only lie can yell. As a result the Student Council asserted its prerogatives and suspended Joe I'agin from extra curricular acti- vities. . . • Now that ’24 had finished ehem, gym and Mili Sci, as an outlet for its ovcrbubhling pep, the Purity League was formed of which no more need he said, 'fhe ’24 alcove became the center of philosophy, art. music, etc. including story telling of the most interesting variety. Men flocked from all over the world to hear and carry away the fruits of ’24’s learning. And so a pleasant term passed by. During this.time the Junior Festival Week was held and turned out to he a great success. It consisted of a dance at the Commodore, a dinner, a theatre party, and the Frown basketball game at which a crowd of former ’24 men joined with us in celebrating the victory of the team over forty-one S t • THE 1 9; Ml Cll0C( Brown, in which Edclstcin, Nadcl, and Salz, the cream of ’24’s basketball talent, ran riot over the visiting team. Incidentally, our successors, ’26, won the llag rush, thus following the tradition that even numbered classes can’t lose a flag rush. The '24 class was increased in numbers by Monat and Fcinstock who, though not ’24 men, forced themselves into the '24 alcove and by manifesting their interest in things philosophical and otherwise were welcomed with open arms. These two, with Finkclman, were a perfect trio of suppressed desires. These three, SlotnikolY (the wordly wise and most blase of all), Willie Finkel (the philosophical wrestler), the writer of this article, and the multitudes who came to mock and remained to praise, were many a time and oft kicked out of the alcove by Mike Bonney long after the sun had set. Those were the great days when we broke all records for killing time in the alcoves. There was a totally distinct group of which we were also a member, we being extremely versatile. We were the four expert dopcstcrs, Klein and Wolf in ’23, and Baskowitz and WE in ’24. Never was there a group like this one nor will there ever be another. Then there were the Big Timers—Vogel, Whynman, Blum and Schacncn together with some lesser lights. The last two mentioned did their best to make themselves as obnoxious as possible to the rest of the world, and my how they succeeded! Then there came the unmentionable group consisting of the Editor of this publication and his friends of whom I fear to make men- tion. The pinnochlc club, composed of Brody, Ansh, Starr, Weiss, Si Berman ct al slept about two hours a day and on some occasions played pinnochlc for ’22 consecutive hours. However, when the strain was too great, they played for 11 hours and then slept one hour, thereafter returning to their game. Nearly every member of the class joined at least one of these groups. The types of fellows can easily be distinguished as far as worth while attainments go. But then there were two great groups—the greasers and the personality boys (otherwise known as fraternities). GENERALLY speaking non frater- nity men were greasers. It seems that the only requirement for admission to a fraternity was a four-button suit. Surely not even fraternity men arc so gifted as to be able to judge the possibilities of a Freshman (who, when once a frater, would gladly pay dues). But perhaps some one will say that I am digressing. ’24 finishes its four years in college in a blaze of glory. It has given City College many loyal and hardworking sons in every branch of college life. '24 has turned out more than its share of good students and good athletes. As to students the Phi Beta Kappa list will bear out that fact. As to philosophically inclined young men as distinguished from mere grinds, the discussions that took place in the alcove are sufficient evidence. Of course ’24 had its share of snobs and empty headed sons of well to do families. This analysis of the different types in ’24 shows that it is proper to call a description of the class a Microcosm, a small world, which has all the char- acteristics of society outside of college. Looking at the class as a whole, it must be acknowledged that it is as well rounded out a group as could be desired in a college graduating class. forty-two THE 1 924- MI CROCOSM g tutonl (Hmutril Jnaigtta 1924 Sidney Rosenberg MAJOR Hyman Weissman Alex J.

Years ago. The School of Business and Civic Administration offered a curriculum. Today it offers a college existence. The Class of 1924 was a responsible factor in the startling metamorphosis that the school has under- gone. It was The Class of 1924 that lifted the school out of the muck of inactivity to which it had been rooted for so many years. It was the Class of 1924 that blazed the path to a social development that has taken a hold and become so prominent a part of our school life today.

On our publications, in athletics, on our Debating Teams, in our Student Organ- ization the Class of 1924 predominated. Small wonder then that the Class of 1924 goes out with a record that will be a mark for future graduating classes to emulate. The record of the Class of 1924 is its tribute. Ir is a tribute that every 1924 man. as he strives for the bigger things in life, as he climbs the heights to which lie aspires, as lie lives his life, will cherish. No space of time can dim the remembrance of the surroundings that so pleasantly harbored the Class of 1924. Within those walls were cemented friendships that will live through all time, within those walls were bonded fellowships—inseparable companionships that will withstand the ravages of years.

Elected by a popular vote ,the first ever held in the building, it was presented with a far greater responsibility than bad been that of the councils of preceding years. Confronted with the prob- lem of creating a true college atmosphere, it was hampered by a skepticism—an almost inherent aversion to extra curricular activity—that bad prevailed ever since the School of Business and Civic Administration of the Evening Session had been organized, until it had become rooted in the very legend of the building, and accepted as a natural condition. But the Student Council knew the possibilities of the school. It under- stood the responsibility with which it had been entrusted. It considered the indifference of the student body as but a superficial attitude—the result of a deep-rooted inactivity that had confined the school life of the City College Evening Session man to the monotony of a mere curriculum. It realized that deep down in the heart of every student that accepted himself as a college man was a spark of yearning for more than mere book learning—a spark that needed but to be fanned to be converted into the life of a modern everyday college. It went aUnil its work. Quietly, efficiently, effectively, it instilled in the student body a spirit that set the lethargic confines of the building teeming ciyhty-onc - THE 1 924- • MICROCOSM with collegiate activity. And it wrote for the Evening Session a new page in City College history. It is a page that tells of the welding together of the classes into a single cooperative lxidv, of the bringing together of the first year men into the first ire liman class ever organized within the building, of the spurring on of the Sophomore Class to the greatest record of achieve- ment ever accomplished hv a second year group, of a hearty co-operation with a Senior Class regarded as the finest group organized since the inception of the Commerce Building. — It is a page that tells of the promulgation of athletics, of the furtherance of teams, of the financing of a team of debaters to Philadelphia to meet the University of Pennsylvania. It is a page that tells of a social development through rallies at which dancing and music predominated. It is a page that tells of innovating a relationship with the Day Session, of, for the first time, a co-operative affair between the groups—The Day and Evening Session Pep Rally held on Eebruary 14. It is a page that te'ls of event upon event culminating with the Banquet held at the Hotel MeAlpiu on May .1—the most successful evening session affair ever held. It is a page that gives the Commerce Building its place in the annals of City College.

At best no class can perform really remarkable deeds: it has neither the power, nor the opportunity, nor, often, the ability. But in certain, if you so wish it, small ways every class can help strengthen old traditions, found new ones, revive dormant ones. Every class can aid the College by bringing more glory to its colors .more honor to its name. In that light, without making any invidious comparisons, ’25 has achieved a truly remarkable record. Its chief hold on fame lies in two things: football, and the Junior 1'rom. Upon the entrance of the June section in Scptcml� cr 1921, the Class was faced with the problem of renewing at City College the long abandoned, but time honored, sport of football. Upon a fair degree of success for that pioneer freshman team depended the establishment of a varsity eleven the following year, and the continued existence at the College of the greatest collegiate game of them all. Mow well the team labored that fall is a story for the books.” Over heartrending obstacles, against spirit-dampening delays, despite a lack of proper equipment, those '25 men managed to win a majority of their games. In their last memorable combat of the year, a game that still re-echoes with the glorious slogan of the day— Fight, Fight, Fight!”—the eleven battled the supposedly superior and highly touted N. Y. l freshmen to a scoreless tie. The outcome of that day, exceeding as it did the wildest hopes of the College, settled any doubts that may have existed concerning the future of football. Several weeks later it was officially announced that in the succeeding year a varsity team would represent City College on the whitclined field. hT one hundred five • JUNIOR PROM COMMITTEE For the great achievement of the ’25 class we must turn from the athletic field to the ballroom. The re-establishment of the formal Junior Prom re- dounds to its credit. An old and worthy tradition, now for some time, aban- doned, was resuscitated at the College. For the Fall Recess in 1923 a schedule of events was planned and carried out that effectively showed the sentiment supporting this worthy College tradition. Junior Festival week, it was called, and it contained a basketball game with Brown University, a dinner at the City College Club, and a formal dance at a New York hotel. It was all a great success. In other matters, ’25, like all classes, did the best it could. It made a determined sophomoric stab at frosh rules enforcement. But in the face of the undoubted opposition by upperclassmen and the absolute indifference of the College, its efforts soon lapsed into dcsultudc. It contributed many men to all branches of activity—scholarship, journalism, athletics. It helped in forwarding the drive to decorate the alcoves and otherlike efforts. No extra- ordinary class, to be sure—it is yet too soon to tell—but a class which rendered of its ability to the glory of the College. one hundred seven CLASS OF 1926 • TNE 1 924- • MICROCOSM PRESIDENTS Ob’ 192,6 Sitatimj nf the (Elaaa of lilclfi The ’26 class strictly enforced frosh rules, made life miserable for the newcomers of the Class of 1927. This strict enforcement lasted hut a few short weeks and then lapsed, due, undoubtedly, to the sympathetic spirit of the ’26 class. One hundred and fifty members of the class turned out en masse for the Flag Rush, and holding the '27 youngsters at bay for ten minutes, won the event. The customary elothes-ripping and fleeing, blushing nursemaids, with eyes tightly shut (oh yes!), followed. The Sophomores were victors in the cane spree. They lied the frosh in the Push Hall contest when the hall gave in (on the frosh side, of course). In spite of the fact that it forfeited the Tug of War, the Student Council Banner, was awarded to the class, 'flic A. A. Banner went to the opposing youths of the ’27 class whose basketball team won a see-saw game for the Sophs. The ’26 class fooled the Freshman when it came to the smoker. This event was held within two miles of the college, and not a yearling present! Hut that did not prevent the Sophs from enjoying the affair, although they did feel they were being cheated from some excitement due to the lack of ’27 men.

Coining into the sophomore year with the conviction that service to the College was the biggest attribute of a loyal son, the '27 men plunged heartily into every activity possible. Her men are represented on all publications, teams, club rosters, political slates, and scholarship lists. An unprecedented number of athletic awards have been made to '27 men, admirable records have l� ccn made in scholarship and all other fields of endeavor. Perhaps the class’ greatest success was against the frosh. The lowly '28 men fell before the sophs in practically all the athletic events, in debating, and especially in the Carnival, which was held contrary to all tradition. The scene was laid in the Stadium, no costumes were used, but for once in the College history, the delinquents were punished. Since February, 1923, when the class entered, a new spirit has been evident, that of service, not for personal gain but for the proverbial honor of the school.” 'flic leaders of the class during the past semester (February to June 192-1) were I.

That house on East Fiftieth Street, with its foyer and dining hall, library and lounge, billiard room and card room, gym and lockers and showers, from Artie Taft’s genial presence greeting you as you enter the radio on roof, everything was brought into being overnight just as magically as ever that palace the genic built for Aladdin. Hut far more last- ingly is it builded. For years and years there had been talk of the need of a house where the alumni could gather socially, of the crying lack of opportunity for just that thing; but there was nothing more than talk. Every time some pessimist got busy with pencil and paper, figuring the cost of city lots and of construction, or of rents and taxes and the rest, heads wagged gravely and the talk quickly ceased. Especially when the war came along and in its train the high prices that still cause us concern. But college is college, and the bond formed there is not easily or readily severed, and when the crowd started to meet once a month in the Tower rooms for supper, the Twentieth Century Club grew from month to month, until the Tower had to be abandoned for lack of sapee. Talk of a clubhouse not only revived, but strange symptons appeared that had never been seen before, for instance, the Twentieth Century was actually dealing with real money. The old City College Club, homeless, mcmhcrlcss, apparently past the moribund stage, had tried to reach out from its grave to catch the new youngster, but without success, until, until, when until one Saturday late in 1920 at Stewart’s, on Park Place, Bcrnic Naumbcrg, who couldn’t be kept out of the present century, suggested that we get the club first and members after. It sounded wild enough to appeal to the imagination, and impossible enough to challenge effort, so the fools rushed in, and three weeks later we held a luncheon in the new clubhouse, and the rest everyone knows. There in the heart of the City is the Club drawing to itself the College’s youth as they come down from her heights, keeping ever alive within them the lofty ideals and high resolves Alma Mater instilled.

The performance of the baseball team was the oustanding event of the year. Ten vistories in thirteen games for a percentage of .769 is the greatest record ever achieved hy a Lavender diamond team. Owing to rain, the Fordham game, which would have decided the Metropolitan title, could not be played, so the College is left in a deadlock with the Maroon for the city championship. Basket hall—the pride of C'.C.N.Y.—was hard hit bv the loss of three stars in February due to the three year rule. Although Coach Holman whip- ped his substitutes into shape and defeated all comers until the last game, N.Y.U., Lavender’s hereditary enemy, spoiled the chances for an undefeated season. Those who saw the game will always remember the demonstration of the Never say die” City College spirit which made the quintet rally in the • THE 1 924- ■ MICROCOSM last ten minutes of play and come within an ace of victory. Twelve successive victories is, at any rate, a mark for future teams to shoot at. Rated as one of the weakest college elevens in the country is not a fact to boast about, but that is the standing of the 1923 football team. Plant’s thrilling run to within two yards of a touchdown was the nearest the Lavender came to crossing an opponent’s goal line. Coach McCormick’s natators can be congratulated for the records they have shattered. In nearly every event a new college mark was set by the swimmers. In addition, tor the first time in the memory of the Class of 192-1, the swimmers won a meet. N.Y.U. was the victim, and Rad’s men celebrated the occasion by garnering every first and all but two of the second places. The track team, after the years of effort Head Coach McKenzie has spent upon it. shows promise of at last producing stars of high enough calibre for the Intercollegiate champs. In Sober, Hyman, and Bra tier, Mac lias material for C.C.N.Y.’s return to her former place of greatness on the cinder path, a place which she has not held since the nineties. The 1924 combination was able to win two out of its three meets, bowing only to the powerful Kordham team. The water polo sextette, although winning only two of its nine games was said by Coach MacCormack to have displayed the greatest amount of team work of any aggregation he has handled. In addition Captain Hal Schnurcr, center forward, and “Tarzan” Trackman, goal, were selected for second all-American honors. Rifle, in its first year as a varsity sport, made great strides. Captain Murray in addition to winning a national champion ship, led his team to victory over such powerful op| oncnls as Illinois, Syracuse and Columbia. Wrestling again turned out a losing team but it also continued to pro- duce contenders for national, state, and metropolitan championships.

It is only a matter of time before the college will develop grnpplers who will win while still representing the Lavender and not only after their varsity mat days are over. The tennis team won a majority of its meets and made a good showing in all its matches. Not so bright is the record of the harriers, with a lone victory over Brooklyn Poly, to grace their slate. In addition to the ten varsity sports, the College was represented un- oilicially in soccer by the Lavender Soccer Club. This organization, composed entirely of freshmen, although not recognized l� y the A.A., met and defeated all the leading high school team in the city. They plan a varsity as well as a freshman eleven for 192-1, but the success of the venture, due to financial reasons, hangs in the balance. (lenc Blanc’s efforts to establish fencing at the College have met with great enthusiasm. The armory has been attracting a large number of men interested in the rapier, sabre, and epee. As yet not enough talent has been developed to warrant a varsity team, hut the unofficial Lavender Fencing Club defeated the swordsmen of F.thical Culture School in a practice dueling contest. Golf also staged a come-back at the College after lying dormant for over fifteen years. Although the great old game was revived mostly by the efforts of the faculty, a student revival also took place and a Lavender Golf Club was formed at the end of the season. Prospects for 1924-25 are very rosy. With strong freshmen teams to draw from, the College should reach greater heights than it has ever before attained. Only one hole will be made in the varsity nine, and the frosh team, although weaker than the yearling teams that the College had in other sports in 1923-24, has enough material to fill it. Basketball will still be coached by the great Nat. Only one gap was left in the varsity nine, and the frosh team, although —need more be said? Swimming and track will lx� th have many veterans and frosh stars. Water polo promises a team to rival the great one of 1922. The College expects much of 1924-25. ML one h unii red heenlv-one ZD ?nP Lavender fans predicted a strong gridiron aggregation for City College’s second foot- Itall eleven, following the re-establishment of the sport at the College. Of the team that held the strong New York University com- bination to a 7 to 0 score on Ohio Field, only two regulars were to he lost by gradu- ation. Jack Schticrman, star center was elected to the captaincy, and things looked exceedingly bright for C.C.N.Y. In addition to the large group of veterans from the 1922 team, the 1926 yearling eleven promised a host of material for Coach Neville’s 1923 team. However, when Coach Neville and his assistants, Ed Jolley and “Dutch” Schwab, called forth the squad for the first practice early in September, many of the veterans and members of the 1926 yearling eleven, failed to appear. Further inquiry showed that the team which was to represent City College on the gridiron during the 1923 season would be a much different team than had been predicted at the end of the previous season. Captain-elect Schticrman, the team's pivot man, Braucr and Ross, the two regular ends, Brodsky and Kudin, first string guards. Miller, the team’s scrappy tackle and Tannenbaum, MNCR K A 111.VOW IT 7. ACTING CAI’T. I'l.AUT Neville’s plunging fullback, were all on the absentee list for numerous and varied reasons. Front the much praised 1926 eleven, of which so much was expected, only two regulars reported to Coach Neville. It was very evident that material would have to be sought for from other sources if Lavender was to face her opponents with a representative team. Undaunted, Coach Neville sent his squad of forty men through their first week of conditioning. A few had had varsity experience during 1922, a handful represented Coach Parker’s freshman team, but the major portion were green material, whose loyalty to Alma Mater urged them to answer a COACH PARKER Coach Neville’s call for candidates to fill the breech. The green portion of the squad proved to be a great help, for from that group came several men who developed into regulars, dis- placing some of the more experienced players. The first two weeks of the season were spent in getting the men in good condition after a summer of leisure. Hot September days plus several severe drills soon turned excess fat into hard serviceable muscle. The fundamentals were carefully gone over by th'c coaches and the new rulings explained. Dum- my practice occupied an appreciable part of the linesmen’s day, while backfield candidates kicked and received the pigskin until they felt thoroughly at ease with the oval ball. one hundred twenty-three COACH NKVII.I.K DKKXKL GAMK On September 30, jnsi a week before the first game of the season with lircxcl, the varsity got its first taste of football when the newly organized team of St. John’s College engaged the Lavender at the stadium in a short practice game. The extreme heat made it almost impossible for either team to cover itself with glory. The game ended in a scoreless tie, and according to the hundreds of Lavender fans who witnessed the game from without the stadium, Coach Neville accomplished a good deal with his available material. 'flic team that lined tip against Drexel was far different from the one the College ha l been expected to place on the field. Neville’s hack field, which proved to he hut a temporary alYair, found Tanneuhaum at full hack. Oshins and Phildius at half and Plant at quarter, 'flic line was made up of several men who had substituted during the 1922 season, ami several who were newcomers to the team. Williams, a sophomore, developed sufficiently to till the breech left hv Captain Schtierman at center. Priedman, one of the guards, had been on the 1922 squad, while Shaw, the other guard, was a newcomer. P.lk, a 1922 linesman, and SchilY, of the 1926 freshmen, started at tackle. The ends were cared for by Garvey, a hackiicld man on the 1922 squad and Cary, a new man.. GAKVKY IIKAI'KR Shaw one Imnilreil Keenly-five Drexel lost no lime in displaying her superiority, scoring :i touchdown in the first quarter of the contest. Freeman, the Kngincer’s fullhack, took ad- vantage of the apparent nervon.ness of the I.avendcr players and plunged across the line after a series of lateral passes had brought the hall close to the goal line. The team showed plenty of light and spirit, hut confused signals, fumbles and penalties characterized the entire play. After a ragged first quarter they settled down and held Drexel scoreless for the second ami third periods. Injuries and substitutions weakened Neville’s lineup severely, making it rather easy for Drexel to carry the hall over early in the fourth quarter for the second score of the game. Drexel’s third tally took C.C.N.Y. completely hv surprise, when with two minutes to play, the Kngineers scored on a high for- ward pass over the Lavender hackliehl. making the final score IS to 0. The College deserved to win the following encounter. Despite the fact that the St. Stephens score reads 7 to 0 in favor of the visitors, the Lavender team outplayed their opponents throughout. Were it not for the fortunate DKLAWAUK GAME scoring on ;i fumble, ilic up-slate team would never have crossed the goal line. The Lavender’s main weakness lay in its inability to intercept or spoil forward passes. The lone touchdown of the game came just before the close of the first half, when Berk, varsity halfback, dropped the ball as he was tackled after a line plunge, and White, the St. Stephens star, scooped up the pigskin to run forty yards on a clear field for the winning points. The third contest of the season found the varsity pitted against one of the strongest of the Mid-Atlantic elevens. The University of Delaware football aggregation proved to be one of the strongest combinations Lavender had ever met, scoring fifteen first downs to City College’s one, ami running up a score of 18 to 0. Delaware’s hard, pile-driving line plunges and cleverly executed end runs swept the varsity lieforc it. The Southerner’s backs made repeated gains through the City College line, crossing the home goal on three occasions. The first score came in the closing of the first period, when the Delaware fullback carried the ball over from the 12 yard line. In the third (juarter line plunges gave Delaware her second touchdown, while the final touchdown in the last period resulted from similar plays, particularly olT-tacklc smashes. HOBART (iAMI The biggest surprise of the entire season was the Hobart game when the City College eleven held the highly touted team from Geneva to a single touchdown. The l’p-statcrs had just heaten St. Stephens by the huge margin of d() te� 0, and expected to sweep the Lavender players oflf their feet. Many of the self-styled experts conceded Hobart a fifty point victory before the contest, only to he amazed when Neville’s team fought gamely against great odds and met a little deserved defeat at the hands of a much heavier and more experienced eleven. The 7 to 0 score exceeded the fondest hope of Lavender’s supporters. 'Flic stands went wild with joy when the first half ended in a scoreless tic. The varsity hacklicld. virtually wrecked by the sudden desertion of Oshins and Tannenhaum from the team, was composed of Plant at quarter. Levinstim and Garvey at half, and Braucr at fullback. The inexperience of Garvey in the back field cost the Lavender team a scoreless tic game. In the the second half, when he was in the midst of Hobart forwards, Garvey failed to call for a fair catch on a high punt. The ball fell from his hands as he was tackled, to he captured bv Harding of Hobart. A series of line plunges and a speedy end run turned Garvey's fumble into the only tally of the contest. KAKIIHR KLK WASHOK one hundred ttuenly-seven fler making such a splendid showing against llohart, the Varsity fell he fore the Connecticut Aggies at Sums, in a game which was marked by a complete reversal of form. Instead of presenting a strong defensive team, the Lavender proved stale and unable to cope with the end runs of the Aggies. Possibly the long trip to Storrs, and the fact that it was the first lime that the Varsity played away from the Stadium, affected the team’s play. In addition, a heavy and soggy field, to which the Aggies had appar- ently become accustomed, slowed up the Lavender forwards, used to the hard, fast ground of the Lewisohn Stadium. Three touchdowns were scored by the farmers, mainly through the use of tricky end runs, giving them the game by the score of 19 to 0. Three thousand fans, the season’s record crowd, turned out to watch the powerful N.Y.l’. team overwhelm the Varsity by the score of 26 to 0. 'flic superiority of the Vniversity Heights team was evident from the very start of the contest. After Toorock had plunged through the Lavender line for two touchdowns, Thorpe replaced his entire Varsity with his second team. Two more touchdowns ended the Violet’s scoring, despite their at- tempts to roll up a large score. The feature of the game was a sixty yard broken field run hv Roy Plant, Lavender’s stellar quarter, who caught Garvey's short forward pass and eluded the entire N.Y.l’. team, only to he tackled from liehind after he had tripped two yards from his opponents’ goal line An olf-sidc penalty ruined the C ollege’s chance to score at a time when less than two feet were necessary for a tally. The dll to 0 defeat received by the Varsity at the hands of the strong Maroon team at Ford ham Field ended a disasterous football year for the College during which the team failed to win a contest or score a single point. The heavy and powerful Fordham eleven had little difficulty in cross- ing the Varsity’s goal line on five occasions, while the Maroon line was never in danger. one hundred lieenty-ei jhl ■ THE 1 934- ■ MICROCOSM 1923-24 HaakrthaU Captain: Isaook Ki� ki.sti;i n Manager: Waltkr Bi.um 1IIS should he «he greatest team that I have coached in many years.” Thus spoke Nat Holman before the start of the 1923-21 campaign. And Nat was about right. The team lie so signally honored .the lightest and smallest quintet in Lavender and perhaps collegiate history, went undefeated in the eight games it remained intact and never really rose to the great height it could have reached. The new quintet, which took up the burden after Captain Edclstcin Jackie Xadel and Frankie Sal ., the three crack veterans, left at mid-year, while not nearly as good as its predecessors, performed creditably enough winning every game except the season’s closer against N. Y. U.- and dropped that by a close count after a fierce struggle. The season, which was so unusual in that practically two distinct teams represented the Lavender, gave signs of abnormality right from the start. Manager Waller Blum encountered the greatest difficulty conceivable in ar- ranging a schedule. Red Klauber’s great 1922-23 quintet, recognized Kastcrn champions, was the finishing touch needed to convince the so called big” colleges that it was healthier not to meet C.C.N.Y. on the court. A belated card was finally presented which introduced to the Lavender Vanderbilt, John Hopkins, and Catholic Cniversitics. Columbia was absent for the first time in many years due to the refusal of the Blue and White to play on the College court. But even this schedule was not fulfilled. Cornell. Kastcrn Inter-collegiate League champions, whom the Lavender had beaten last year and was to meet at Ithaca, found occasion to cancel its contest, as did John Hopkins. McGill University and Northeastern were substituted. The opening of the season found the Col- lege with three veterans from Red Klauber’s championship five on deck. In losing Captain Klauber and Jim Curran the Lavender had suffered materially. With a squad averaging only 5 feet 6 inches in height. Nat Holman undertook the task of building another Lavender machine. After several weeks of experimentation the wizard mentor finally hit on a regular com- bination. Frankie Salz. and Jackie Xadel, the veteran forwards, took their accustomed posts. Captain F.dclstcin was shifted from guard to center and Leo Palitz and Pinkie Match, substitutes of the previous year, were stationed in the backlield. This team, conceding many inches and pounds to every one of its opponents, came out winners in every game in which it engaged. coach HOLMAN CAPT.

Nat Holman was faced with the predicament of having to form a team strong enough to meet the Lavender's strongest rivals. Palit . was shifted to forward and Ben Perlman, a substitute for two years, was placed at the other forward post.

No captain was elected for the new outfit. Match ami Palit . alternating as field general during the rest of the season. St. Francis College once again helped to usher in the Lavender season. The Franciscan veterans fell before the home team by a 39-30 score. The dazzling speed and excellent team work of the College midgets were too much for the heavy Brooklyn five, who showed themselves unable to maintain the terrible pace. Dickinson also fell prey to the varsity. The Lancastrians threw a scare into the Lavender stands by leading 13 to 9 at the end of the first half. In the final period the Lavender pulled together and displaying a fine brand of passwork. went ahead to win 25 to 20. Manhattan added its name to the growing list of the Lavender’s victims one week later, emerging on the short end of a 29-21 score. The speedy midgets had little difficulty in defeating Brown during the Christmas holiday, by a 30-19 count. The varsity held the upper hand at all times and were never pressed by the Browns. The team rang in the New Year by defeating Vanderbilt University. '1 he Southerners were bewildered by the snappy passwork of the Lavender and fell by the score of 25-19. McGill University next offered opposition. Although the varsity triumphed by 23-15 its shooting was far below par. The characteristic teamwork and accurate shooting of the team had fallen off to an alarming degree. During the following week Holman hammered away at the weak spots with the result that the Lavender’s play in the Fordham encounter was bril- liant. Lightning fast playing, snappy passing and accurate shooting proved the undoing of the Maroon five, which emerged the loser by a 23-16 count. In the final game of the semester the varsity took on the strong Holy Cross team. The Worcester five had four men in their lineup who had played against Tubby Raskin’s champion quintet in 1922. Displaying its real speed and ability the varsity rode home atop a 52-11 score, the highest of the season and justified Nat Holman’s pre-season’s statement. The game marked the last appearance of Captain F.dclstein and the two crack forwards. Nadcl and Salz. With three new regulars in the line-up the Lavender easily defeated M.T.T., the score being 32-20.

The tenth consecutive win was rung up when Niagara University was the victim of a 25-15 score. The visitors could make but four field goals while the Lavender scored ten. Northeastern pulled down the curtain on the home season in a mediocre exhibition. The varsity had little dilliculty burying the liostonians under a 30-12 tally. Playing in what Nat Holman called “the greatest game I ever saw” the College whirlwinds defeated Catholic University at Washington in the last few minutes of play, by one basket, 31-29. Catholic University, with four veterans in their line-up led at half-time by 17-11. In the second half, unfolding a brilliant game the varsity brought the score to 25—all when but three minutes remained. Here Match, who all told amassed twenty points in the evening’s activities, ran riot, scoring seven field goals and six fouls. The season was brought to a sad closing when the Lavender lost to the Violet by a 28-24 score and terminated a string of twelve consecutive victories. Inexperience and failure to get going until the last stages of the contest proved the undoing of the College quintet. Pinkie Match led the scoring for the season, tallying 89 points in the thirteen contests. Captain Kdelstein, in but eight games scored 64, while Jackie Nadel made 59 points in the same number of games. Captain Kdelstein once again demonstrated his effectiveness from the foul line, making an average of .727. The varsity scored a total of 389 points against 255 for its opponents. The total number of field goals by the Lavender was 131 while opponents were able to cage but 90. A total of 127 fouls were made for an average of .585, as against the 416 of Lavender adversaries. Prospects for a powerful quintet are extremely bright. Captain Pinkie Match will lead on the Court practically the same quintet that represented the college in the last part of the campaign. With the valuable playing ex- perience gained, the new men should be far advanced over their last season’s abilities. Palitz will be back at his old forward post with Goldberg, who sub- stituted all season at guard, as a possible running mate. Ilodcsblatt will again act as pivot man and should blossom into a star. Captain Match is a fixture in the back field with Schcin as his probable partner. Mciscl, Raskin, Goichman, newly-graduated from yearling ranks should present prominent bids for varsity berths.

As a climax to its line showing the lavender nine was to meet Ford ham in a game which would decide the Metropolitan championship. Fordham had previously heaten N.Y.U. who in turn had defeated Columbia. It was generally felt that _________ Nat Holman’s hard-hitting team would pull out a victory over the Maroon. However, the inclement weather which hounded the College nine since the opening of the season did not permit the meeting of the two teams and the season un- ceremoniously came to an end. The first game of the 1924 season was scheduled with Scton Hall. Rain prevented the opening game and a future date was arranged. However, the meeting was again prevented by heavy showers on the appointed day. Manager Witchcll and Nat Holman refused to postpone the formal opening of the season and engaged the St. Johns nine during a heavy shower. The varsity team, grccji and working in unfamiliar surroundings, lost 8 to 4. In their second meeting later in the season, the varsity amply retaliated for this defeat by overwhelming the Saints by a score of 15 to 1. Cathedral, Manhattan, and Krooklvn Polv fell before the % prowess of the Lavender bats- men by the scores of 6 to 4, 4 to 0. and 8 to 1, respectively. Fol- lowing these games the team left the city for its Easter trip after the im- portant N. Y. U. game was cancelled, due to the miserable weather.

Following its return to the fa- miliar turf of the Stadium, where not a single game was lost throughout the season, the fielding and hitting of the team took a brace. The La- vender slugged its way to a 7-6 victory over the formid- able Lehigh nine. This in turn was followed by clean cut vic- tories over its other opponents and so the Lavender finished a successful season I APT. rm 'i.io Mo one hundred thirty-four • THE 1 924- - MICROCOSM Lafayette, with victories over Georgetown and Army, was slaughtered by a score of 16 to 9.

Brooklyn Poly’s 55 to 53 defeat of the College in 1923 was amply avenged when the Lavender emerged victorious to the tunc of 62 to -16. Sober was the shining light in this affair with 9 i ( AIT. •ARISt victories in the 440 and 880 yard dashes, while Clancy thrilled the crowd hv doing 4:58 for the mile.

The powerful Maroon team was led by Stanford who took four firsts, and barrel, an Olympic con- tender, who took the three sprint events. The shining lights for the varsity were Sober with two seconds in the middle dis- tance, Parisi and Bowlby in the hurdles, Braucr in the discuss and Hyman in the mile events.

The time of 3:38 and 4-5ths although comparatively slow was three seconds faster than the time made hy the winners in the same group last year. From the outset the issue of the race rested between the runners of Lincoln and the College four. The Quakerites, however, with a well balanced team, snatched a well fought victory from the college. The Lavender’s pass- work was well timed. Cy Keisman and Dave Lieherman were the only two veterans of the team. Lieherman ran a steady Quarter in his characteristic looping stride, sending Keisman off with a rush. Cy made a sensational sprint in the last stages of his quarter and sent the next man on even terms with his rival. Clancy met stiff opposition in the person of K.

The season was one of the most successful the College has had since the sport was instituted in 1907. The only victory of the season was gained at the expense of N.Y.U. Maurice Dundcs opened the tussle with N.Y.U. by running away with the fifty yard dash in 26-2 5 seconds, equalling the College record held by Irving Ashworth. Kvery other first place in that meet was won by the C.C.N.Y. natators. records being broken in every race except the century. Incidentally this was the first time a swimming team of the College took every first place. The relay team of Gene Blanc, Maurice Dundcs, Frank Caspar, and Captain Hugh Glynn clipped a fifth of a second from the record, navigating the 800 feet in 2 minutes 39-2 5 seconds. Captain Glynn set a College record of 6 minutes. 36-1 5 seconds for the quarter mile against Columbia and cut this down to 6 minutes and 32 seconds against N.Y.U. Joe Wallace and Steve Ahbatte set records for the one hundred yard breast stroke and one hundred hack stroke respectively, the former in one minute 21 seconds and the latter in one minue and 24 seconds. Although the 1925 team will he without the services of Captain Glynn, Dudes, Schein, Ahbatte, Wallace, and Blanc, prospects for a successful season are bright.

Playing against heavier and more experienced opponents the varsity viciously fought hack every onslaught and held the most dangerous teams to comparatively low scores.

Captain Hal Schnurcr, Murray Dundes and Willie Nacovsky arc the only men to be lost to the team through graduation, and with the rest of the squad augmented by the crack 1927 frosh sextette, Coach McCormick should be able to put a very strong combination in the field. one hundred forty IliUllUliUiil H124 utennut Captain: Ai.kxandukr Ciiaikklis Manager: Gaiikikl Kasi.aw B ...

Stovii. IIF. City College Rifle leam completed its first season, successful beyond all expectations. Among other laurels the team won the State prone championship. W hen the sport was organized in the Fall of 192. it was the accepted theory that the team would lose most of its matches, inasmuch as none of the candidates had much experience in handling a rifle. The team was also handicapped by the fact that they were forced to go through the entire season with the ex- ception of the last few weeks, buying all their own ammunition. Besides these difficulties the schedule adopted was unusually hard. Kvery one of the best teams in the Fast was met as well as the University of Illinois, the Western Conference champions. Combinations of supposedly much better calibre were opposed by the Lavender, yet the rifle team closed its season with but two defeats in ten starts. An inexperienced nervous team opened the season by falling before Rutgers by the narrow margin of three points. In the Metropolitan Champion- ships later in the season this defeat was avenged. Decisive victories over Maine and Syracuse followed soon after the first setback. The fourth match, with Boston University, resulted in a tie. The Lavender later defeated the Beantown team in the Fasten) Collegiates by more than two hundred points. The team next played host to Columbia, who was considered the strongest prone team in New York State, and turned in an unexpected victory 498 to 495. New York University proved to he the next victim, being overwhelm- ingly defeated 497 to 455. The next two matches were the features of the brilliant season. In the first, the College engaged George Washington University, Intercollegiate Cham- pions, a team having Walter Stokes, an Olympic marksman. G.W.U. had not lost a match in two years and the best that was expected was a defeat by some thirty-points. However, the team surprised everybody by coming within two points of the champions, giving them the closest call that they have had in two years. The meet was shot in four positions, in which the team had been very weak. The most brilliant performance of the year was turned in against Uni- versity of Illinois, Conference champions. The strong western team turned in a score of 499 out of 500 but bowed to the Lavender rillcmcn who made a perfect 500 score. Colgate proved to be the next victim falling by a 497 to 485 count. This victory gave the team the State prone championship. In the last match of the season a four position shoot, Yale was crushed by the Lavender 1897 to 1863. Ivarly in the season before the team hit its top stride, fifth place was earned in the Intcrcollcgiales. The team also took part in several tournament matches, but did not fare as well as in the regular schedule. Yale, Columbia, George Washington and M. I. T. took the measure of the varsity in these matches, while the team turned in victories over Princeton, Johns Hopkins, Norwich, later League champions and acclaimed the third best team in the country, Georgetown, National champions last year, Boston University, and New York University. Captain Irv. Murray was the high scorer of the team throughout the season, and proved to be one of the best college marksmen in the country. Against George Washington, Murray totalled 198 out of 200 in the four positions beating the highest total ever made by Stokes who is considered the best college shot. The Lavender captain, continually turned in perfect scores from prone and was the only consistent rilleman in the other positions. Richard Carlisle, Morton Solomon, Ifaydon Noyes, Captain-elect for 1923. ami Walter Brausc, were the outstanding marksmen on the team. Next season promises to be even more successful for the team inasmuch as only Captain Murray and Carlisle were graduated. one hundred forly-four HI2 3 (ttrnHH (Homitrg Cap I din: Simon Kkisman Manaycr: R.

Under the skillful coaching of the popular “Doc” Parker, the powerful yearling eleven won four overwhelming victories, tied one game, and were vanquished only by the stalwart N.'Y.t'. cubs, in a contest that was not decided until late in the final period. Doc” Parker’s call for candidates early in September brought a squad of forty huskies, many of whom had won fame on their high school gridirons. The freshmen mentor, resolved to make his second year of football coaching even more successful than the previous one, kept his men going at top speed all season long, so that they were in perfect condition for each contest. From the first scrimmage the coach put forth his greatest efforts towards develop- ing a strong offensive for the yearlings. Aided by a remarkable backtield. Coach Parker’s players rolled up a total of 1.14 points as compared to the 62 points tallied by the 1926 frosh eleven. Defensively the team was the equal of last year’s frosh, holding three opponents scoreless, and having but four touchdowns scored against them throughout the season. With a hackfield that was of Varsity calibre, a strong aggressive line and two swift ends, the freshmen were the pride of the college’s pigskin rooters. The hackfield boasted of three triple threat players, while the fourth man was a defensive player of distinguished merit. Opponents were deceived time and again, because they could not learn in time whether the yearling stars would kick, run or throw a forward pass. The line was fast and heavy, several of the forwards smearing their opponent's plays with uncanny regularity. The freshman eleven made its debut by way of an unexpected and. decisive victory over the strong W hite Plains team. Kiltie was known of the actual worth of the new freshman players, while the While Plains eleven was considered the strongest in Westchester County. The game resolved into more or less of a track meet for the yearling stars, who broke away for many lung runs which resulted in. live touchdowns. Spectacular open field running, accurate forward passing and some hard line plunging were employed by the freshmen in the first contest, giving Coach Parker his first real opportunity to size up his team and find faults to he corrected. The score 3.1 to 0, gives a fairly good idea of the ability of the cubs after barely three weeks of practice, 'fhe election of Charles Naiman as captain was announced after the first victory. . ..: Coach Parker found much to he corrected in the play of his team itij anticipation of the game with F.vandcr Childs. Changes were made in the lineup and several new formations introduced. It was very evident that much had been accomplished during the week of practice between the first and second games, for when the Lavender team one hundred forty-seven • THE 1 924- ■ MICROCOSM lined up againt the Bronx schoolboys, their teamwork was well nigh perfect and many of their plays brilliant. Kvander was strong enough to hold the frosh scoring machine during the first quarter, but class finally told and two touchdowns were scored during the second period, both of them by virtue of long runs. Mciscl intercepted an Kvander forward and sprinted sixty-five yards to score. During the second half the Kvander defense weakened, allowing the frosh to cross their line for four touchdowns. When the contest ended with the score 40 to 4 in favor of the yearlings, the college pointed with pride to the fact that they had not been scored upon in their first two contests while 73 points were tallied against their adversaries. With an idea of improving their splendid record the frosh traveled to Long Island to face the strong Lawrence eleven. The Lavender players were leading 10 to 0 until the last quarter when the home team rallied long enough to tie the score. The contest was marred by poor refereeing and some puzzling penalties in favor of Lawrence. Keeping in mind the fact that Lawrence had scored more than 100 points the week before on a neighboring high school team, the showing of the cubs was indeed favorable. The fourth encounter found the brilliant Stuyvesant team, champions of Greater New York, pitted aaginst the frosh. Although defeated 13 to 0, the schoolboys put up a wonderful exhibition, outrushing the freshmen, who won only by employing trick plays which resulted in long gains. The yearlings were the only aggregation to defeat Stuyvesant during the year, and much praise was directed to the strong defense the college cubs presented, for in all their other contests the Stuyvesant players rolled up big scores. Once Stuyvesant’s style of play was solved, the freshmen started on their offensive, scoring their first touchdown when Salomonie caught a long forward pass thrown by Caress and sped across the line. The second tally resulted from a deceptive forward pass which found the Red and Blue players unawares, in spite of the fact that the first touchdown was made on the very same play. The 32 to 7 victory over the Fordham yearlings was a pleasant surprise to the college rooters, most of whom expected a close contest, similar to last year’s which the Lavender won 7 to 0. The linesmen opened up huge holes through which the backficld men plunged for long substantial gains. Salmonic starred for the yearlings, scoring three touchdowns aaginst the Maroon players. With so splendid a record behind them the freshmen journeyed to Ohio field overconfident and cocksure of victory. The record of the N.Y.U. team was not impressive, in spite of the fact that they presented in their lineup a galaxy of stars from all over the country. The Lavender yearlings started off like demons, scoring a touchdown before two minutes had elapsed. At this point the Violet held firm and recovered quickly from the shock of the fresh- men’s hurricane-like start. They tied the score by surprising the Lavender team with a short forward pass, and then succeeded in kicking the goal after touchdown, leading at half time 7 to 6. The third period was featured by strong defensive playing by both teams, neither being able to advance the ball. Just before the contest ended a criss cross formation netted forty yards and a touchdown for N.Y.U., making the final score 14 to 6. one hundred forty-eight BU Jfrpslitttmt SaskethaU Cuplains: Hyman Sciikin and Thkopokk Mkiski.

The poor showing of the cubs was due mainly to erratic fielding and the failure to put their hits to better advantage. The one bright s| ot in the yearling record is the 13 inning tie game with Kvander Childs High School. New York City Champions. In this game the cubs rallied in the ninth, tying the score after the school boys had taken the lead in a fourth inning rally. The entire team played flawlessly behind “Skinny Schettino. the frosh pitcher, who. with the excep- tion of the fourth held the Bronx team scoreless. The yearlings opened the season auspiciously by shutting out Dwight Prop, and followed with victories over Townsend Harris and Jamaica Train- ing. However, they did not live up to their early season promise and lost to most of the city high schools. Captain Curry Dono and John McAden were the outstanding players on the team. McAden led the cubs in batting. He wielded a wicked willow and was always there with the punch when needed. If his teammates had been as consistent hatters the team would have had more games in the win column.

The 1927 aggregations had their escutcheons more often soiled with defeat than brilliant with victory. No team started auspiciously, or particularly distinguished itself hy heating or losing to a renowned oppoiu-nl; nor did any team fail to light with a will in an effort to overcome its position. However, though the spirit was willing, the flesh was weak. After a sporadic outburst during which a team would work itself into a fewer of enthusiasm upon winning one whole game in a row, a state of lethargy would set in, and only another win could shake it out of that cquanimitous state. As a rule the condition of equanimity was remark- ably well preserved. In swimming. Coach Radford .1. McCormick faced a veritably Herculean task. With absolutely no material from high or preparatory schools, a team was turned out that did remarkably well, for such conditions. With “Jinks” Lewis, Hugs Moyce, and George l)e Fronzo, who arc still in college, ami Norman Eoljcrmun. now numbered among the dear departed, as the mainstays of the team, a well rounded aggregation was developed which, though lacking in experience, showed great promise, 'flic weaknesses disappeared toward the end of the season, and in the last meet, Textile was overwhelmed hy the first year mermen.

Keeping pace with the growth of the College since then, 'flic Campus has increased its scope and prestige to such an extent that it is now recognized as one of the leading publications of its kind in the country. Start- ing as a weekly, The Campus became a semi-weekly in 1920. while during the past semester under the editorship of Howard W. Hintz the College’s only newspaper was published three times a week. During the seventeen years of its existence. The Campus has always main- tained the exacting standards formulated by its early editors. The sole ob- jective of 'flic Campus is service to the College. Service is rendered first, by a fair, complete, and accurate presentation of current happenings, and second, by frank, fearless discussion of immediate conditions and problems with a view towards exerting a helpful, beneficial influence. The Campus has always recognized need for improvement in various di- rections. It has dedicated itself to the policy of calling the attention of students, faculty and alumni to these needs ami offering suggestions wherever they seem appropriate. 'l hc editors and business managers are chosen bv the Campus Association, composed of alumni once prominent on the staff of the paper. A fund accu- mulated from the profits of 'flic Campus is used to foster and encourage any aim which shall go towards the betterment of College and student activities. Eoremost among the achievements of The Campus this year, was its change from a semi-weekly to a paper issued thrice a week. This addition to the service it renders the College met with a pleased welcome. Events which ordinarily would have gone unchronicled, or would at best lie dwarfed into insignificance, received now their due amount of publicity. In addition, the news gained greatly in interest because of its increased timeliness. A keen attention to the presentation of news in typical newspaper style and improve- ments in its typographical appearance were also manifest. Despite the greater burden put upon them, all the members of the staff put their shoulders to the wheel, working for the success of the paper. Often, waiting for the story of a late game, they labored till the early hours of the morning. Especially encouraging was the staff’s unfailing interest and de- votion to the welfare of 'flic Campus. Gargoyles, footsore and weary from its errant travels like a homeless orphan finally came again to haven in the arms of Abel Mccropol. Under him the column rose to new heights of perspicacity, sophistication, and wisdom. Once more taking up the Evening Session field at the Main Building, The Campus gave prominence to the activities of this other branch of the College. Its enterprise proved of value liotli to the paper and for a better co-ordination of the several branches of the school. i)nr hundred fifly-six E B usi tics.i Man after Ai.iikrt (i.

The founders very wisely did not load the new-born babe with ponderous, pseudo-intellectual material. The publication was a breezy journal of news and comment, a literary magazine and a comic all rolled ini� � one. It is interesting to note in the light of later events that an editorial of the issue of December 1, 1880, offered live dollars for the best humorous article. 'I'he importance � f the comic element was evidenced in its earliest issues. In 1907 The Campus took over the task � f news dissemination. Mercury, relieved of one labor, acted a double role of litterateur and zany, one issue a term being devoted entirely to humorous content. During the year of 1921, when the country was swept bv a llood of impressionistic writing, Mercury was seized in the vortex and reached a dizzy height of absurdity. 'I'he re- action of the College was emphatic and manifest. A new hoard of editors consisting of I . Ci. Dcnkcr, II. K. Sakolsky, S. Sugar and A. Mceropol ap- pareled Mercury in motley for all time. The sheer comic made its first ap- pearance in December, 1922. ‘‘Even the most grudging critic,” reads an article in the 1922 Microcosm, “must admit an immense improvement in recent months, so that already the publication falls but little lielow the standards of the best college comics.” Since this panegyric was written Mercury has taken the lead and is now rated as the liest college comic in the country.

WaU.ACII When, in the spring of 1923. (lie Mercury became a comic magazine, the College was left entirely without a literary paper of a serious type. It was then that the Lavender Association was formed, and the Lavender established as the college literary magazine. Since that time only live issues ol the Lavender have appeared. Despite ollicial recognition by the I’nion, the student body did not take to the new publication. The editors were constantly at their wit’s end for material, and it seemed as if there was really no place for a paper of such a type at City College. During the last semester, however, interest in the Lavender has been on the increase. Though for some time the fate of Lavender hung in the balance, there can he no doubt now that the Lavender is here to stay, not only as the literary representative of the College, but as a vehicle for the expression of all serious undergraduate thought. one hundred sixty dqidqM • THE 1 924- • microcosm OMIMO ML (Ettij (Unllpgp (ipitartprlg Edit or-in-C hief Donald Alfred Roberts, '19 Associate Editors Howard C.

The purpose of the organization is to encourage and promote a greater interest in duty as well as a greater spirit of sociability among the rank and file of the organization. From a membership of ten at its inception, the club lias grown until at present its present membership totals thirty-five. Along the social line, there is a formal dance held once a term in the Webb Room of the College. Also, toward the latter part of the Spring term, a banquet is given to the graduating class by the members of the Junior class. one hundred si.vty-six (F flfurre (Eltth S. (0. ®. (£. Hatth F.AKI.Y in the Spring of 1922 a group of interested students met under the leadership of I. Pinklestcin. 1922. to form a college band. Although some of the candidates had their own instruments, the majority knew nothing of hand instruments. Under the guidance of Finklcstcin. and with the invaluable co-operation of Captain Winfield, some instruments were obtained through Professor Baldwin and a larger number from the United States Army. After many months of intensive training the band made its first public appearance on Charter Day, 1922. The following year, Finklcstcin having graduated, Joseph Petix, 1922, a trombone soloist, took command and under his leadership the band received more support. Realising the value of a good band, Colonel Arnold arranged for the assignment to the band of a definite number, and quite naturally, this was a great aid. There is no doubt that the band would have been an utter failure were it not for the co-operation and aid cheerfully given by Colonel Arnold. Captain Winfield and one other—Sergeant Peterson. Sergeant Peterson faithfully came down every week to instruct and organize an organization of which the College can well be proud. Words cannot express the love that the members of the hand learned to have for such a wonderful personality. Today the band is a permanent organization, receiving constantly invi- tations to play in various parades and celebrations, and it has been officially recognized by both the Athletic Association and the Alumni Dinner Committee. otic hundred sixly-scvcn • THE 1 924- ■ MICROCOSM STAFF S.

Kille Team of 192.?-24 had a very successful season winning three matches out of four, placing third in the Corps Area Match, and finishing well up in the first half of the National Match. After a poor season in 1922 due to lack of facilities and poor equipment, this was particu- larly gratifying and was due in large measure to the consistent shooting of Murray, Noyes, (apt. Solomon and Salt .; and to the change in the system of instruction and coaching inaugurated by Lieutenant MacLamorc. The team defeated Northwestern L , one of the strongest teams in the country, avenging its defeat of 1922. New York I', and Cornell U. Its only defeat was suffered at the hands of Delaware and only by a very small margin, the score being 87N to N7. . In the Corps Area Championship of 1922 college team placed last in seven teams entered, while this year it finished in third place in six, and was beaten out for second by only twenty points, 'flic team was in first or second place all through the match until the standing stage was reached and it fell back to third. The outlook for 1924-25 is very much brighter than ever before. Valen- tine, '25 was elected captain for the coming season, and with only one man. Murray, being lost by graduation and a lot of good material in the Freshman class, the Corps Area Championship should come to the College next season oil? hundred s?r?nly The Pistol Team was organized early in the Spring by Captain Caw- thornc.

Noble, of American Museum, on The Evolution of Bones of Skull.” A number of the club’s members presented papers on various phases of biology including such topics as Biology of Death.” Cancer.” Studies in Heredity,” “Colors in Birds,.......Pwins in Cattle,” and Effect of Glands on Body.” Reviews of scientific meetings, lectures, current books, and magazines were frequently presented. The get-together after each lecture, with smokes, tea, and refreshments added greatly to the prevailing social atmosphere. The Club continued its extensive field work, taking several bikes to the country. Prof. (i. (i. Scott led the club to the Palisades. Prof. A. J. Goldfarb conducted a marine collection trip. The Club went far beyond the three mile limit in a deep sea fishing trip. Under the auspices of the Committee on Research, members presented papers to the Club, maintained several large marine aquaria and began an extensive survey into the fauna and llora of the Overpeck Marsh region in New Jersey. The Bio Fund was increased during the Spring term and again two stu- dents were sent to the Cold Spring Harbor Biological Station.

In the tower room stand the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter has been heard repeatedly on the Pacific Coast. The receiver is equally good, and consequently, communication with the West Coast is quite common. Two men arc on duty every night, anad sit up to the wee sma’ hours communicating with stations all over the country. The club operates under a government license; its call is 2XNA. Service to the College is the watchword of the Club, 'flic Club maintains a press service which reports the results of outside games to the “Campus” office as soon as the contest is over. Messages arc transmitted to any part of the country for students free of charge. These services arc expedited by the Intercollegiate Radio League. The League, founded by President Carlisle, em- braces all the radio-equipped colleges of the country. Schedules arc being organized, and in a short time intercollegiate traffic will be as swift and certain as that of commercial telegraph companies. In the football and baseball seasons, a loudspeaker is installed in the con- course, and the students hear all the games which arc broadcast.
