Time pressed, with not a single path I T to guide it, it has blazed its own trail through tracts entangled, a - -A . f v pioneer in paths before untrodden. And now it stands before you! Its work is done. Judge it not in the spirit of what might have been or should be had conditions been all proper, but in the light of what it really is priss censure. The first of a long line to follow, the harbinger, we hope, of better and nobler things to come, THE Pviirre Pxrcunn salutes you! Of necessity a great portion of that which is inscribed within these covers will be appreciated by the class of 1907 alone. But many a one who reads mayhap will find herein contained some little key to memories too long abandoned to oblivion's care. And it is because we thought there were mines as deep of treasured lore and wells of happy hours as sweet to be found upon this hill of ours as are told of in any other spot on earth, that we have ventured thus to picture in some little way the life and men at Holy Cross. For sixty years memories of Holy Cross have flourished brightly, waned, then died away,-and the mausoleum oblivion raised has guarded well her dead. Then better far, we hope, has been our task to build a treasure house in which to store our own than bid the same stern reaper of those sixty years entomb what we could e'er remember but would one time in vain endeavor to recall. And so THE PURPLE PATCHER stands, with all its imperfections, the last oliicial word of 1907, a monument, howso:'er unwo thy, to her loyalty and her unity,-the last and inevitable result of that burning spirit which for four years has bound us as one with a common chain, whose every link was forged within the furnance of deep- est friendship and good-fellowship, then strength-tested by many a trial. wmgmgrwwmmwwmmbmmuwmiwtww W 8 THE PURPLE PATCHER gg' QQ,.6X,,-Qu.-eN.fQ-..--eX.f-Qwfxev i Qf9wwef1,,e-..fQfN.,,e-w.,e-.1f- W W TO THE FRIENDS OF 1907 W 25 3 W if Q W 43 3 Q Q Q .

If in so doing the jibe or pointed pun has fallen seemingly hard upon you,-and we have all received our share-only remember they were given in that self-same spirit U of good-vvill and fellowship which have characterized our relations here for four years pastg and we, the editors, can feel that when the jibes were weighed and meted out, the ounce of product was well balanced by the full weight of impartiality which hung in the other pan. 1' -wffws-1 'LW-QUIK?-LW'-Was-WWWA mssJeffW-'fWefw-fWafwJfa1Dwi.mUe.Lm.QmLuea1W..W.tmW THE PURPLE PATCHER 33 A et,--fee,f-eX.fef-.reef-ewfsex. .fesv-Q-1..,e-..,Qfs,,?s,,5.-.,,,m FRANCIS C.

For those were study hall and dormitory times, of whose discomforts and tribulations the present 1910 roomer wots not. Nor yet will he have tasted their peculiar joys, our happiest recollections gone from undergraduate life with the advent of rooming privileges, and the Freshman of to-day must seem to us quite poor in eventful associations. The class hacks with facile pen still bring a smile. His- tory taught by pleasantries cannot be forgotten. Gladsome remembrance attaches besides to that sweeping foot-ball defeat of Amherst, inoculating us with our first quota of Holy Cross spirit. And vividly in mind abides that early December ban- quet which inaugurated our career of precedents. The glistening eyes which marked our partings for that Christmas vacation convincingly testified to the intimacy of our brotherhood.

Our banquet at the Bay State opportunely counteracted the HMid-Yearis slaughter-and beyond gainsay no chance for ,J Jollity was left without improvement. The Boston College I, debate stirred our hearts-and evoked chorus of thanksgiving for being listed in the roll of nineteen-seven. Spring's sunsets were inordiuately beautiful. What a treat it was, between puffs, to stand at our windows, sweep with a glance ' through the blossomed orchard, call down the long avenue in happy jest, and follow the blood-red disc in its descent - 'W W behind Wo1'cester's cradling hills!

Fitton Field had been brought to imposing consummation. Alumni Hall was being reared. The future could hold nothing but promise. JUNIOR l' ,ik wi N THE transition from Sophomore to .lunior nine forsook us, mostly out of impa- tience for the seminary. By September, 1905, Alumni Hall was announced ready for occupancy, and there on the middle corridor we took up quarters. The new conditions were immensely better, the appointments all that could be desired. The merger into one lecture group dissolved the old divisions. et 'll' fs But a unification more than external resulted. A changed feeling 1 L lgi 1. evinced itself, a harmony and assertion at once the envy and des- pair of other classes. The HSpirit of Nineteen-seven.

The purchase of class pipes at Christmas marked our fourth contribution to the line of precedents at Holy Cross. Throughout this win- 15 'X ter corridor life attained perfection.

The minstrel show was presented to the faculty and student-body the first week of May, in Fenwick Hall-again, more encomiums on every side for the initiative and good fellowship of HNineteen-sevenf, This effort placed us solidly in the esteem of both professors and fellow- students-and upon it we confidently stake the perpetuation of our memory. The base-ball team of 1906 was a grand nine-and with just pride we can name its captain as one of us. Holy Cross and base-ball excellence are to many minds one and the same always,-but it was good for- tune, indeed, that we witnessed the performances of her very finest and could count as its non- pareil and directing .head a fellow-classmate. The advent of June was signalized by the opening of the new refectory, another stride in the march of progress. An initial taste of Philosophy Morals creditably survived, then completed our Junior-perhaps our best-year. - 151. n 1 Z 1- - SENIOR 3 wiv 1 M is E entered upon the last quarter of ii our collegiate course with still a Pin,-Q.

The corridor shortly resumed its order of the revious year. Our initial a wear- P PI ance in Cap and Gown elicited only moderate com- pliment even though the mortar-board tassel was black and not purple-a selection which provoked the first split-vote of the class. Ph 'siolo ical Psv- ? g . 1 chology was by far the favorite studv of the o en- . P L ing semester-mayhap because it was most feared. The Debating Society under our guidance obtained a new dispensation-a renewed lease of life. Hldle inanities, however, postponed many a debate, and nwmfwgwwawmfmffnmmwsmaw 90 ' TH-E PURPLE PATCI-IER wrangling not seldom supplanted argument. The protracted seige of plugging incident upon our mid-year had, of course, its corresponding reaction. HRob Roy dramatics commanded extraordinary favor. Because luncheon was forthcoming-the armies were large and a man would have to be no man at all who couldn't meet the enlistment requirements. The presence of a German among the red-coated British host was regarded as an inconsiderable detail. The base-ball series between HSems and uYams', resulting in favor of the former, made regrettable the omission of like contests previously. Keen rivalry was assisted by astute managerial over- L sight. In the HMay Talks we sustained our reputation for a large endowment of the preaching gift-and set up a standard which will be hard to match. With the subsequent press of examin- , V ations and nerve-racking preparations-we ended our undergraduate career. . J The years spent at Holy Cross distinguished us peculiarly for unity and harmony. No petty Mil-f quarrels aligned us against each other. No factions split our fighting front. But a comradery ,W i-ll and good-fellowship of high order knit us strongly together.

M Our survival of the trials and adversities which beset our thorny entrance ' R into college life, our perseverance during that following year of unwelcome con- la 9 descension by upper class men and of provoking attempts at rivalry by Fresh- 0 men, and the manner in which we accept our present greatness establishes our P3 Q27 claim to renown. The blending of upper class dignity with the levity of youth may justify the sobriquet HPhilosophers in Embryofi so cordially bestowed' upon us by the Seniors, but its effect upon the subjects is most gratifying. We do not stagger beneath the weight of knowledge which depresses our elder brothers, nor are we guilty of the temerity of the newcomers in our midst. Activities not pre-eminently intellectual still allure and bind us to earth, while our appreciation of ethereal beauty elevates us above the ordinary skull-capped, yellow-vested Collegian. As yet untried by responsibilities, we are liberal with censure of our predecessors, though our own past faults do not make us the less severe on our successors' shortcomings. 0' Indeed, to such a degree does this happy combination of advantages render us content with our present station, that were it not that Alma Materis interests are best advanced by prominent alumni, and that the Nation can ill spare our services, willingly we would spend ou-r remaining days as Juniors. fn V ta.wJfws.faJfm,Am,cwJawatwysLwsLw--msw11m2bmmW ggjfesvfgwfgf.-Q., QQ-Que?

S 75 qw The enthusiasm of the Freshman has now blended into the solid Holy Cross spirit ' of the class of 1909, whose every maxim is advancement and whose members 0 have ever been distinguished for a determination to rise out of difficulties and L' ' turn honorable defeat to future glory. As Freshmen, our ardor and zeal were AE always apparent, and this formative period found us making our presence felt in all at R the general functions of the college. Going back to our first meeting when the W cool breezes of September were swaying the pines which bowed their crests in welcome, we pursued the course allotted the Freshman, and a high standard of general excel- -align lence in class work was achieved. Elocution found our representatives forging to the front and am: in debate we were surpassed only by those who had already tasted the success of victory. JW Whenever the call for brawn and muscular skill was heard, we sent our chosen few to the fore, and F when the clash was over we had reason to glory in our class standard, zeal for which was second only to our zeal for Alma Mater. We pride ourselves, too, on making Holy Cross Night of nine- teen hundred five a real relic of the proverbial Junior Night. Then Freshmen, we are now Sophomores, but the principles which actuate our conduct and the ideals we would compass remain unchanged. True, some few have left our ranks, who have our good wishes in their new fields, while others have taken the places of our absent ones, and are 9 imbued with the self-same motives. VVe continue to do our share towards maintaining the base- ball fame of Holy Cross, and we have lent the track our fleet of foot, and their reward and enco- miums we consider ours. Many a time we have helped to turn the tide of defeat and celebrate the glory of triumph with our spirited HRickety AX. We glory in the past, the present we cherish, we live in the future by our hopes-hopes which are kindled by the success of the past and the security of the present. And thus we see reflect- ed by the past through the medium of the present, an image of our ultimate victory, when we shall leave the hallowed walls of Alma Mater with the knowledge that- C A place in the ranks awaits us, if Each one has some part to play. The past and the future are nothing J In the face of the stern to-day. lil 39 N mwemfwvwuwqmawgawmfmssmcmbwwa-W ww THE PURPLE PATCHER -Qu,--gxj.-5X,.-Q-.r-.6c.f'6x.043c. - gf9wv-9 zv6'mfQ 1,,?'w,,61,,G Barry, James S.

This number, by the death of two, sickness, and the departure of others, has since dropped to about one hundred, which is still the record. On account of this great number, four sections were formed, thus insuring more room W for the students and lessening the labor of the teachers. The class banquet was held at the Bay State Hotel, on December the thir- teenth, where His Honor Mayor Duggan, Rev. Fr. Rector and the teachers of the four sections were the guests of the class. On Holy Cross night, 1910 came out in force, and their banners, songs and costumes were by no means the least agreeable part of the entertain- ment. In athletics Freshman has held its own, furnishing to the big teams of Alma Mater three men on- the foot-ball team, three on the track team, three for this year's base-ball team, with the prospect of perhaps four more players for the squad. In the interclass basket-ball series Freshman was the nearest competitor ol' the Junior Class, which won the series, and it was only after a hard fight, the Freshmen fighting gamely in each contest, that the Juniors were able to defeat them in the two games necessary to win the chain- pionship. The Philomathic Debating Society and the Dramatic Society own to having in their midst a large percentage of Freshmen, and the entire class belongs to the HSodality of the Immaculate Conceptionf' HOld 1910 is proud of its distinction in representing fourteen states of the Union, and of having had the honor ot' breaking the record in number of members. Meanwhile the strongest hope of every member of the class is that for the greater fame of MOH Holy Cross next year's Freshman Class will be larger than the present. Qmsewwwf IW Barnes, George J.

The union of her interests and their efforts is the pre-eminent charac- teristic of her spirit, for there seems to be some hidden animus hovering nigh her Royal Purple, which binds inseparably the fellow to his fellow-man, and all in turn to Holy Cioss Especially is this true of her alumni exemplified, as it is, in their ever-incieasing activity and mowing concein for her welfare and hei piofrress The new societies foimed and clubs established the deep inter est manifested and keen desiie display ed 'fi '--- 'fi , . . . . i . . l 1 ' n D D ' i Q , , . . 1 v to be in perfect touch with the student body and college of to-day, index with telling accuracy the spirit of those whom Holy Cross feels proud to call her Alumni, and we to imitate. Well struck is the keynote of that loyalty in the object of their parent association, which is Hthe pro- motion of friendship and fraternal intercourse among its members, and the fostering of affection in them for Alma Mater and her interest. And their loyalty and growing energy have served for us as an example, a mighty element in the production of that firmer union which is daily being perfected between the sons of Alma Mater. - The inauguration of Holy Cross Night as a permanent feature in our college life. extending so favorably the much-desired opportunity for Mold grad and present classman to meet and mingle in an atmosphere of friendship and good fellowship, has proved itself beyond a doubt a potent factor in strengthening this bond of mutual fraternal love. And the completion of Alumni Hall,-from basement stone to tower a fitting monument to loyal sons, has but served to better confirm that knowledge, so well established among us, that they who in numbers are almost legion in strength of spirit are pure and true. mramfmsfwspwarswtyams bwbwfembwarsbwbmw Wgm.fmmLfwQfw..w..wJfwQ VVm,E.1m.L,Qw+www1LwaHgf,s.

'i- ' HE observance-HI-Ioly Cross Night -and the Class of 1907, will boast contem- , K . . . . 5 I poraneous inauguration at the college. And in the four returns spanning our aca- ' ' P demic career-we have ever lent to this celebration an ardor peculiarly our own- an initiative most potent for its evolution and betterment. So HHoly Cross Night' M q 1' - 6 is no longer the experiment. VVe transmit it an established occasion of distinc- a tive purpose in the year's calendar. Then HOld Gradi' and HUndergrad ming- ling ,neath the genial influence of fraternity and comraderie and bartering the sober experience of age for the buoyant enthusiasm of youth,-inspire a better, more fervid HHoly Cross Spirit and subscribe quite handsomely to the greater honor and glory of Alma Mater. Nor should this observance be regarded as unimportant. American educators have long since appreciated the vital interdependence of college student body and graduate organization. Everywhere efforts are unremitted to bring into actual contact with consequent closer relations the successful alumnus and the ambitious Collegian. A healthy intimacy is fostered-a true exemplification of elder and junior brotherhood. Hence, the inspiration for H Holy Cross Night. A void is to be Hlled-an intimate com- munion secured for all related by ties of college kinshipg-a common meeting ground afforded professor, student and graduate. Mention HAlumni to the average classman and his intelli- gence merely conjures up an alphabetical roster bulletined for distribution. Yet in every sphere of work-a-day activity Holy Cross men are actors and factorsg on every field of human endeavor they are writing indelible names for the annals of achievement. Can we not know them better P Rather than an abstract example might they not be a concrete help P For all this HI-Ioly Cross Night is purposed. Here is the alumnus' opportunity to forsake the busy mart or exacting profession and come back to classic shades. Representative members with informal Htalksi' impart the benefit of their wider experience. Reminiscence, too, jest and pathos Work their spell. The Hboys respond-providing entertainment and exhibiting feeling peculiar to the affair. Indeed, democratic good-fellowship reigns supreme and kindly cheer is watchword over all. Participation effects improvement in many directions. Henceforth the 553.5-:gas-f?J.Sff?Q?-Q-see-asv?-Q-35 W ww.,-air-:raw .-awwdw-bf--as THE PURPLE PATCHER 119 F gill . . . .

In return the undergraduate will be stirred to preserve undimmed the wg' college lustre, be it in class-room, on debating platform or campus. He will safeguard her worthy traditions-he will keep alive the service of devotion-the spirit of loyalty. From such exchange of mutual advantages Alma Mater must issue forth rejuvenated, better for- L9 tified and more splendidly famous. May the realization of this be speedy!

Though the :nm development of the intellect is the first object of the curriculum and but few Fai i hours remain after recitation for partici mation in practice for any s ort, yet there 1 1 . P .

It appears to be bred in the bone, and lect from a squad always approximating forty have proved them- ' selves the equals of the best college teams in the country. Nor is base-ball of the present gen- eration alone, for far back in the dim days of the sixties and the seventies, our teams went forth to the fray and returned victorious, In the days of yore, there we1'e no athletic associations, and when Q the nine went to Boston in the early 'T0's to play the champions of the world,-A. G. Spalding of 'J sporting goods fame pitched on the Bostons,-the men had to pay their own way or stay at home. During our stay at Holy Cross, the team has not fallen below the standards of other seasons, in fact the nine of 1906 was at least the equal of any fbrmer team. The appellation Ha team of hittersu has been peculiarly characteristic of our men, and so prohcient have they been in the past that a game is never said to be lost by Holy Cross until the last man has been declared out in the last inning. Our foot-ball teams are as of yesterday in comparison with the ancient lineage of base-ball. In the beginning our progress was necessarily slow, and this was particularly due to the scarcity V of heavy men, but as the roll of students approaches 500, there is naturally a greater abundance of players especially adapted to foot-ball, and consequently we are rapidly approaching the point fwfdwv-WWI?-wacitltls CW-uw-J Q-W-ewwswwl-WEAR c'WW M-gmJfafaJ.faQfaJ.aQ.mfaiiQ A Qressmembffeabwabwssrmi THE PURPLE PATCHER 125 where we shall be at least equal to other colleges of our own size, and even to many university teams. Four years of Latin and three of Greek have proved to be an insurmountable barrier to many a tyro fullback, but lately the numbers have increased of those who are willing to study as well as participate in athletics, and so we are meeting with much better success. Each year's team is better than the one before, excepting, of course, the eleven of 1903, the best Holy Cross ever had. Though handicapped in weight and number of candidates, we have acquired the reputa- tion of sending out teams made up of men of indomitable courage, who will fight as hard for victory in the last few minutes of a game that is lost as they will in the beginning. Everybody deplores the present position of track athletics. Our traditions deserve a better present, and we trust that it is but the darkness before the dawn when our track teams shall go out into competition and bring home victories just as they used to do in days gone by. Twelve years ago track athleties had their birth. Owing to the endeavors of Trainer Star- key, we held an open meet in the old skating rink on Foster Street, and all the big universities, colleges and athletic clubs in the East were represented. An idea ofthe popularity of the meet may be obtained by mentioning the fact that in one event alone-the Q20-yard dash,-there were fifty entries. At. this meet our relay team won from Yale, and our holder of the world's championship for the mile walked away from the rest of the field. The next winter we sent a good team to the B. A. A. games and for the second time our relay team defeated Yale. During the winter of 1896-'97, we held our second annual indoor meet in the rink. It was more popu- lar than ever, and more colleges entered than betbre. Two thousand people saw Harvard win the meet, with Holy Cross only four points behind. Yale, B. A. A., Brown, Princeton and the others trailed along after us. For the third successive time, our relay team won from Yale. Then began our decline, superinduced by the dismantling of the skating rink. The big meet ofthe next year was held in our gymnasium, but the place was not suitable, and in the following year the indoor intercollegiate meets left VVorcester. However, we sent teams to Harvard, Georgetown and annually to the B. A.

The rules of the college demanding that monthly conditions shall be removed before further participation, even in practice, will be allowed, are admittedly stringent, perhaps more so than the requirements of any other college, but there is all the more honor and praise for those men with the proper kind of spirit, who, despite the difiiculties, have put forth their efforts in the past and who are now doing their best to give us creditable exhibitions in the cleanest, most spectacular and the most enjoyable of any branch of intercollegiate sport. Our managers arrange satisfactory schedules and good coaches are at our service, but it seems all in vain, and every man of ability who stays away from prac- tice ibr no good reason is just increasing the stain on the traditions of Holy Cross. Intercollegiate basket-ball at Holy Cross is at present defunct. Our records in the past have been honorable and many, but a lack of interest on the part of the students has brought about a decay. As a financial venture, basket-ball never paid 3 but, nevertheless, just as long as the students showed by their patronage that they were interested, just so long was it continued and supported by the association. But in the winter of 1905-06 the students evinced a distaste for the sport, stayed away from the games all season, and as a consequence basket-ball was discon- tinued. Teams that we have annually defeated are still in the field. There is something raclically.wrong, and the sooner matters appear in a different light the better will it be for us as individuals, the student body as a whole, and for the college. In looking over the field in general, we can say that we have been mightily successful, but that now an unhealthy lethargy has set in, and if there is not a great improvement in the imme- diate future there is no telling how it will all end. The 1907 Class Book, the last oflicial word of the Class of 1907, sincerely hopes that the renaissance may begin in September, continue and go on increasing every year as long as Holy Cross shall be upon the earth. t93mJfw-.waawama-ar-fmwbm-W--M--W--W-LW T n gedfgsf-gwfgfwg., gavage?

' HE FOOT-BALL team of the season of 19013 was the most successful team in this A T-1. . line of athletics that ever represented Holy Cross. It was the first year in which la Coach Cavanaugh had charge and the season's results were extremely gratifying. Our most signal victory was over Amherst, which team had but a week before F defeated Harvard 10 to 0. Our eleven was keyed up to just the proper pitch and .. , every man played as he IICVCI' played before. The long runs of Cahill, the vicious line-bucking of Stankard, the punting of Reed and the generalship of Quarterback lillill' Larkin were the most worthy features. The line held like a wall and Amherst found it im- lilly pregnable. The game was won 536 to O, not through tlukes but by superior playing, as was candidly acknowledged by the coach of the losing team. P At New Haven, the team met Yale for the first time in our foot-ball history. There was a little Hstage fright in the beginning, but it worked off before the end of the first-half. Through Q the etliciency of Reed's Heducated foot we scored twice, and these two field goals-one was a kick of 4-0 yards-were the largest score made against Yale that year. Dartmouth defeated us in Hanover. Hooper, centre on Dartmouth, and who was given centre on the All-American team of Caspar Whitney, was forced to give way to a substitute within ten minutes from the time the game started. King played centre for Holy Cross. The game in Bangor against Maine was fought up and down a sloping, muddy field. Our short-cleated shoes could not hold in the mud while the ball was on the hillside, and so Maine S, repeatedly pushed us back to our own 15-yard line, where we held, secured the ball on downs, T and punted to safety. Cahill and Skelley were the particular stars in rushing the ball, while J Reed's punting kept Maine from scoring. li awamJfaQ.w.a..a..a.m.c.m.QmLa-.Leave-.ww 132 THE PURPLE PATCHER -Eve-?g,f'?NafE-ar 6wf'6x.G'eQv ' e.f?Wv-?'7Q,9'W.fQ 1,,?1.,?1,,6i The season ended with a victory over Tufts on the Huntington Avenue grounds in Boston. Previously we had won 6 to 5, and a close game in Boston was naturally expected, but it was a runaway match for us and ended 32 to 0. At the season's close Stankard was chosen half-back of the second All-American team.

However, two of the remaining seven were tied. The tabulated results cannot be regarded as a satisfactory compendium of the season's work, in view of the fact that there were weeks at a time when only twelve men out of the entire squad were uninjured and able to don suits. The regulars were in shape for the Tufts game and the score shows what the men could do under favorable circumstances. The Dartmouth game followed, and was lost simply because Dartmouth had a better t.eam than we. In fact, to keep their score down to 18 was as good as a victory. The men from Hanover showed more speed, weight and knowledge of foot-ball than any team seen in Worcester during the past four years. This year saw our first foot-ball game with Harvard. Our men fought pluckily and, with nearly half the positions filled by substitutes, no one expected us to win, and we didnit. The Georgetown game in Philadelphia was easily lost. Over-eagerness seized some of our men at crucial times, and such playing gave Georgetown the game. 1905 The season of 1905 was successful, inasmuch as we won a majority of our scheduled games. The Coach had been breaking in an entirely new squad the year before, and this year progress was more easily made. This autumn occurred the unfortunate accident to Hetherman. The Amherst team had not been scored upon all season, and, in view of the fact that they were trying for a record, it was particularly galling to lose to us. The Holy Cross students did much to keep the crowd orderly, and the action at Amherst, especially in regard to base-ball games the next spring, was unlooked for and undeserved. The game was a victory for us, 9 to O, and it was the first and last time that season in which Amherst's goal line had been crossed. Caspar Whitney's magazine had this game scored 0-O. The Training School in Springfield had prophesied a defeat for us on their grounds. Alumni mmmwwmiww Wanna-afiib.-.aww1fa,iL-fwafavmmw Neal-Wwswxaesswwswbsw ' i 134 THE PURPLE PATCHER from the vicinity of Springfield attended the game in large numbers and saw us pile up 32 points, while the home team couldn't score. The Dartmouth game in Hanover, while a defeat for us, furnished opportunity for our men to show the true Holy Cross spirit. They played foot-ball v every minute of the game, and the opponents felt that the victory was well won. Foley, '07, covered himself with honors by his work as half-back. VVhen no one else could gain, he reeled off 55 yards. He sprained his knee in this, his maiden game, and was therefore unfit for further I, playing. The next season his knee bothered him again, so he had to quit playing once more. 'W 1906 y The last year of foot-ball during our course was not up to the standard of the eleven of our 'un Freshman year, and there were many good and stable reasons. ln the first place, the coaching system was changed last fall, and the introduction of the graduate system necessitated the doing fill? P away with the principles of the old. Then again, there was a large proportion of new men on the squad, and men cannot play foot-ball until they learn how. However, there was the finest ul display of earnestness on the part of the men that has existed during our sojourn at Holy Cross, and each individual man attended every practice faithfully and worked with might and main to help Coach George W. King, '04, and Captain George S. L. Connor, '07, to turn out a first-class team, and if the team was not as successful as previous ones, the willingness of the men cannot be blamed. The best game of the entire season, perhaps, was the Cornell game at Ithaca, which team appeared on our foot-ball schedule for the first time. Holy Cross started in with a whirlwind rush, and for the entire first half had things its own way. But the small number of candidates on our squad made it impossible for us to introduce substitutes every time a man was injured, and consequently Cornell scored several times in the second half.

We always have good teams, but this was an exceptionally fine one. The majority of the important games were L won, and at the end ofthe season Holy Cross was near the top ofthe list of college teams. Fordham and Georgetown played the closest games on our field, the latter 'Q ' v.' 'X Q91 i particularly. Georgetown was in the lead 5 to 4- in the ninth, with two out and F F two Holy Cross men on bases. Tom Stankard stepped to the plate and drove the 'ai first pitched ball on a line to deep centre field and it rolled to the spring. He scored the two men and won the game. The Fordham game in Wo1'cester was without an error on either side. The visitors could only get two safe hits oil' O'Rourke, while our players Htouched up McLane for nine good ones. VVe won as usual from Harvard, Amherst and the others, but our second Vermont game was called off' in the 12th because the visitors had to catch a train. After the season, Noonan went to Philadelphia Americans to join Coakley, his former room- mate. Skelley coached at Marquette, Stankard went to Pittsburg, while Devlin went to George- . . . U town, where he played while in the medical school. , 1905 Fitton Field was finished this year and it was formally opened on the day of the Yale game -F.li's first appearance in VVorcester for years. The contest was the closest of the whole season, and it was won for Yale by Bowman's home run in the tenth. The ball was driven to the slope between right and centre, and in just the spot that Hoey sent many of his Hhomersi' the next year. Little Jack O'Rourke, ex-'07, pitched in the Harvard game, and his diminutive stature in V contrast with the huge body of' Coburn, his opponent, won for him the good will of' the crowd. His home run, too, when three men were on bases, showed that he was in the game to win. His J performance throughout nine entire innings won many encorniums from press reporters.

Dr. George A. Linnchan, '00, suc- ceeded McCarthy, formerly of the Boston team. When the graduate coach took up the work there was immediately noticed a new energy in the men and they finished the season with five straight victories. Though the record of the entire season was not up to that of the year before, yet the team was by no means mediocre. The base-ball teams at Holy Cross are of such a sort that an ordinary season for us would be a top-notcher for half the colleges in the East. L 1906 'l The banner year of base-ball at Holy Cross. At the season's close we held second place among the colleges, with Princeton first, though we had not met the Tigers. Consequently the placing of both teams was more or less a matter of conjecture. We broke nearly everything in the way of records-as a team of hitters Holy Cross is famous throughout the country, but this season a.ll previous accomplishments in the batting line fell by the wayside. No less than four- teen pitchers were batted out of the box, and in mid-season the team was batting at the rate of fourteen hits every game. The Niagara game, with twenty-two safe ones, establishes a record. In the home-run line, Hoey made eight in as many consecutive games, besides various others during the season to avoid monotony. .J The Dartmouth game on Memorial Day brought the largest number of spectators ever seen at Holy Cross-Skillen, the famous left-handed pitcher had been heralded all through the land. Besides, he had defeated us in Hanover previously and an unusually interesting game was expected. Every seat available was brought into requisition, and, in addition, thousands were compelled to stand. VVe won, 6 to 2, by some of the best playing seen here in years. The first , eight balls Skillen pitched were strikes-right over the base. Hoey hit the ninth, but was ln caught out. Flynn opened up the second inning with a safe one, and that started the hitting. V The team found very little difficulty in making nine hits off Skillen's delivery, while Hogerty allowed Dartmouth but three. ll We also evened up matters with Yale by defeating them in New Haven, 15-41, the first time J in three years. Our men felt that they should have won in VVorcester, so when they went to New Haven they let themselves out and Yale didnit have a chance at all. mmsfwafswwbwasavaiwmabwmswbwbm gaaswgssgas-Qqasgevebae J 142 THE PURPLE PATCHER T iesf1gK,f1ia.nea1ffevfwea.ffev ag 5.,e aaa?-s,Aaw,4svw,,e'steaw.xi K' The base running of the team was a delight to the spectators and thirty runs scored against Niagara, which expected to win, constituted our largest number of scores in any one game. Much of the success and good feeling existing between the members of the team was due to the etliciency of Captain Jack Flynn, '07, whose playing at iirst base was marvelous. Out of a total of 265 chances, he accepted 264, made but one error from April -L to June 16. This perform- ance will stand for a long time before it will be equaled. A glance at the appended summaries will demonstrate the fielding and particularly the hit- ting qualities of our team. VVith seven men hitting three hundred or better, and one an even four hundred, the team has a record unequaled in the country. One sporting man of high standing voiced the sentiment that HI-Ioly Cross were undoubtedly the fastest set of base-ball players in the college world. 1907 Because of the impossibility of printing a completed account of the base-ball season, it has been deemed best not to publish the schedule. Manager McCarthy has prepared the finest list of games that Holy Cross has seen in some years. Princeton came to Yvorcester after a seven- years' absence, Villa Nova appears after fully as great a length of time, and Seton Hall played here for the first time. Perhaps the best home games were the 1-0 ten-inning Georgetown game, the 3-Q eleven- q inning Fordham contest, and the 10--L Yale game. The team was made up of a majority of new h men, and Coach Carney was ably seconded by Capt. George B. Cashen, '09, in his efforts to turn out a winner. c. L.

A. A. games in 1904-. The relay team, consist- ing of Morrissey, '04-, Mulvaney, '07, O'Drain, '04, and H. P. Cahill,'07, ran against VVesleyan. O'Drain was out of condition, the pace was too fast for him, and he fell. Cahill, the last man, was so handicapped by this that it was useless to endeavor to make up the lost yards, and he simply went around to finish. In the thousand-yards run, some one gave Cahill a handicap of 50 yards. At the pistol shot he got the jump on the entire field and had no trouble in leading all the way. At the finish he crossed the tape nearly 60 yards ahead of the scratch men. wore was only exceeded by the size of his prize loving cup. 1905 A determined effort was made this year to revive track athletics, and Manager Sullivan arranged an interclass meet as preparatory to an indoor meet with Tufts. In the intercollegi- ate meet we had a fairly large representation, but most of the men were new. The city folk did not take kindly to the trolley ride, so the outside attendance was small. The students, how- ever, were intensely interested and, in the last analysis, it is mainly for them that track athletics 0 are encouraged. Previous to the Tufts meet we sent a team of nine men to the B. A. A. games and they entered in five events, but managed to come back with no victories. 1906 VVe came out more brilliantly in track athletics this year than any since we were Freshmen. i There were three dual meets and we won two. VVe also attracted attention at the B. A. A. U games. Scanlon threw the 16-pound shot 43 feet, 6 inches and won the intercollegiate event. Kelley drew third in the 4-0-yards handicap. He ran his distance in 4 3-5 seconds. ggdglfgqpsfqmbwi iM4mDsAmP4dHmJdmmHmh11m?W4 F11mE5LqW LmE5gmM5 Lmb-le-.awww-2-wmv. mam-fella-+ THE PURPLE PATCHER 149 -6c,4--lax,-'-eX,fQ-.f'-Qs-ff6Nfv'3v QfS'sf.fG'1.,6-.,,Q's..,Q-su?-.,,6u Of the meets, one was with Trinity at Hartford, the second with Boston College and the third with Trinity on Fitton Field. The men did not take this last meet seriously. There was little or no training on the part of the Holy Cross men, and we well deserved to lose. It is a fact that the training rules are broken regularly every year, and so long as the manager is not in sight there seems to be no scruple. The best event for Holy Cross all year was the relay. VVe had a good team individually and collectively' and they won every race they entered. lo 1907 Our track team consisted of a relay team and a shot-putter. Members of the relay team were entered in fast events whenever it was practicable. On February 10, the team entered the B. A. A. games, and Scanlon, who was later in the year elected captain, took third in the handi- cap 16-pound event. The relay team, consisting of Coggswell, '00, Maynes, '09, J. F. Foley, '10, and Kneeland,'l0, ran against the fast M. I. T. team and the race was exciting despite the fact that we lost to one of the strongest relay teams in the colleges. February 21, we entered a meet at Hartford, where we won a relay race from Trinity and , broke the track record in doing so. U F gr .. , QD Q s iff!

Though the trial squad was small,-all our preliminary squads 7 333? are made up of few men-yet the basket-ball abilities of the candidates were so ? IQ? inversely proportional to their numbers, that we lost but two games out of a total of twelve. VVe scored 2442 points while our opponents made only 146. VVe won 'l from all the big colleges and universities on our schedule. Our closest victory was over Dartmouth in the last game of the season. The team from Hanover was tied with Holy Cross for the championship and this was the test game. The play was fast from the very start, so closely did both sides cover, that only four baskets were caged from the floor and O'Toole of Holy Cross scored three of these. Both teams played cleanly and the game was VVOII on its merits. The members of the team of this year, Quinn, O'Toole, Connor, Dollard, Quigley, Spring, Reed and Doherty brought more honor to Holy Cross basket-ball than any team that has since represented her, and they well deserve to have their names preserved in the annals of her .J athletics. 1904-05 Our basket-ball team degenerated, though there was no apparent reason. VVe won from Harvard, Yale, B. U., M. l. T. and Pennsylvania by large scores, but then we fell away to Wil- liams, Dartmouth and to Brown in Providence, and one game lost counts a great deal on the wrong side when there are but nine games played in all. Our first three games were very easy for us and perhaps we were over confident. In Wil- liamstown, the college gymnasium was necessarily small, and Holy Cross, accustomed to play in V Mechanics hall, was disconcerted by the diminutive floor, especially when the home team knew J the court so well that to cage shots backwards, was apparently as easy as to cage them forward. VVe retaliated on Yale, however, and won for the second consecutive season. Brown was wafwianawwaawamfwbmsw-lmswsaebwvmw wwgmfwewaqmafmafwaamgmslmsnm-Lwaswq-Wsww V' THE PURPLE PATCHER 157 easy and so was Harvard. This last game was played in our own gymnasium, which was disad- vantageous to the visitors, though we would have in all probability won the game had it been played in Mechanics hall. This was our last victory for the season. 1905-06 A very gratifying season resulted from our basket-ball schedule of 1905-6. Only three 1' games out of a total of I5 were lost and the scores ran from 10 to 50. Connor, '07, made a record of 12 baskets in the college gymnasium, and had a total of 79 baskets to his credit, or an eq average of five in every game. The team lost to Harvard the first time in four years, and Dart- mouth took the other two games from us. This was the last year of basket-ball at Holy Cross. Though we always had excellent teams, the students took no interest, and by their absence, showed that they did not desire the sport. Though always a losing venture, it would have been continued as long as the students desired it, but, in accordance with their evident feeling, the sport was dropped from the list of inter-colle- giate athletics. It is sincerely hoped that with the advent. of the season of 1907-8, there will be a new spirit, and that we shall be again represented by an intercollegiate basket-ball team, the cham- pions of New England. ,J wg-4:-.--w..1.1,..,-M5-..,--Q.,-gap, . :1.:,..5.,,1-5,--:,:-SWK :W . -.- .1 -,?,.7L:.5:.3, -44 1:--2: V-: -.- :1 . -'- - -. -', . - i ' '.H.bl9,aL:i A2-r:'lF:. ,Irv h, .9 gr.-,-rg.

The scrawling hand of H Big Chief Shamus wrote out the ' gl joyful words, HClass meeting of freshies at 12 M. Come on, stay and hear Capt. G1'ady's talk on foot-ball. q At the dread hour of twilight, e'er the evening dust had begun to fall, four- teen shadowy forms stole up past the bake-house, along the orchard's edge, to the very mountain top. There, in circling pow-wow, the mighty Clintonite unfolded many a running plan and related many a tale of his deeds on Iowan rocky gridirons. Soon to throw the breeze back for a loss became a daily occurrence. HPatsy,' Dollard stood the pivot man, banked by the gentle McCarthy and Sousa Forestelle, whom in turn McClure and Pat sup- ported. Lanky Shamus and the eager HWhish let no man turn the flank, while the rushing McNamara, Foley and Kilroe ran where the screaming Creamer chose. The UO's and HMacs P kept on the right, and the left side the aliens held. Sophomore spies learned about the ball- under-sweater trick play and our team just recovering from a mighty epidemic barely escaped the lowest place. A 'J C Basket-ball season soon rolled in and great were nineteen-seven's preparations. Sophomore, junior, senior fell before our sure-eyed five, and the festal board already loomed up before their hungering eyes. But a rumor ran through the hall that the sophomores had protested HJakey', for playing under freshman name. Rung in at the last minute, HJakey, a freshman true except in Attic tongue, was declared ineligible and the game ordered to be replayed. The varsity now needed Capt. Dollard, and Shamus was overtrained, so with broken ranks we lost to the lucky Coakleyan clan. 6 Back as wild and lively Sophomores the next golden autumn fbund us with our class eleven 5' practicing daily with a varsity spirit. Great were the deeds of that fall's training and its memo- J ries will never be forgotten. Writes William Creamer of Fall River, Hlt gives me great pleasure P .W ammewwwwaamfvemmeemsew 164 THE PURPLE PATCHER to express my faith in Dr. Mi-Clure's hygienic pneumatical facial enhancer. After being severely injured in a collision, my mate, Sousa, prevailed upon me to give it a trial. After taking but a single dose the discoloration vanished and has not since reappeared. I gladly endorse your methods. A Cavan friend from Vliestlield, who suffered from discoloration of his lumen in the same collision, but in a different manner, also benefited through your system. As the freshmen had beaten the seniors, who had crushed the juniors, it was too evident what the result would be, and the other classes refused to meet nineteen-seven, and the faculty called off the series. Thus for a second time our class team was stopped on the threshold of victory. ln the winter class sports, the sophomore paper-weight relay four, O'Neil, Dulligan, Heffernan and Mulvaney, showed the pathway to all the other teams, even though the Housa- tonic Hl'eter of base-ball fame ran faster than ever in any game. The winnings of our fast quintet at basket-ball wound up a glorious athletic year for nineteen-seven. Nearly every member of our class team of the preceding year made his mark on either the varsity or second eleven of the season of 1905. The class foot-ball series was still in the same disorganized state, but victory again sought us in the basket-ball series. Capt. Carroll with his winning five made a descent on Boston Town, to meet our sister college's second team. Result: HFine time, great game, swell trip. Oh! VVe lost, Q1 to l3. - Deep in the study of' the Hologies as dignified seniors we had but little time to devote to the frivolities of physical pleasure. Not a class foot-ball game took place, but the spirit was saved by the reviving of the inter-class basket-ball contests at the expense of a varsity team. Entering the contests with the finest record ever held by a class team, it was not long before age began to tell and all foresaw that the inevitable was at hand, and as passe the class, long noted for its class spirit, unity of its members, and number of its Varsity lettered men, will wind up its career as students and join that great body of Hold grads,'i who are simply Holy Cross boys forever.

The Hcompanyu soon evolved into a Hsocietyf' and as such it exists to-day-the Holy Cross Dramatic Society. I Yet the Dramatic Society, in its present state of development and management, dates back but a few years. It is the result of a process of evolution extending over a period of 50 years. It is the result of years of careful, painstaking effort and honest endeavor, and this eifort and endeavor were expended not merely to perfect the organization and management of the society but also to raise the class of productions presented. And from the small farces and min- strel shows of its early years the society has risen to the presentation of the standard Shake- spearian tragedies and comedies. Throughout the whole period of its existence, from the first days of the college to our own time, there has never been lacking the ability necessary to carry to a successful issue whatever its members undertook to present.

M El 'gl HE EARLY pioneers of Holy Cross who gathered about the little brick building on Pakachoag Hill back in '-1-3 recognized full well the many advantages of a debating M society, and scarcely was the college known to the outside world when a fbrensic s arena was established, and the political and economical questions of the day were Fi receiving the attention of these coming men of the world. The college was W founded in 184-3 and in 1846 the B. J. F. was established. The event was duly fs. recorded in the first article of the Constitution: HThis society was founded in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, the seventieth of the independence of the United States, and is essentially a debating society having for its object the increase of knowledge, cultivation of eloquence and readiness in debate. Hence,we see that only three years after the laying of the cornerstone of the oldest Catholic college in New England it could boast of a thoroughly organized debating society. The second article of the Constitution records the name and the reason for its selection. HThe Society adopts as a token of affection and gratitude the name B. J. F., these letters being the initials of Rt. Rev. Benedict Joseph Fenwick, one of the bishops of Boston and founder of the College of the Holy Cross. A notable feature of the B. J. F. in the days before and immediately after the Civil VVar was the custom of electing honorary members. The roll of the honorary members is a long one and contains the names of men of national and international reputation-priests, bishops, states- men, generals and governors. A few of the more prominent of the honorary members are Hon. John A. Andrews, the war governor of Massachusetts, Hon. Patrick A. Collins, Hon. John Quincy Adams, and Patrick Donohue. The name and fame of the B. J. F. is not confined within the walls of Holy Cross, for in intercollegiate debating circles it enjoys an enviable reputation and a well earned prestige. In all its intercollegiate contests the work of its debaters has been of a character which could not fail to bring honor and reputation to their society and glory to their Alma Mate1'. The most recent contest in which the B. J. F. was a participant was that with the debating society of Bos- ton University School of Law, which was held in Fenwick Hall on the evening of March 25, m.wJfwd.wf.smffsi'i.,.+-ar-,,w, Qm-.Qw11mwwwW:eWw wwewrwdwdfwawaaw vmbmlmrwabwabwswwb THE PURPLE PATCHER 175 .9x,,--gx,.-p9N,f-fbi-sr-iQX,f'?.Pf3v ' Qf9wa-9'1V9-..fQ'wb,?'-z,,6-.,,6- 1904.

The debate was a success from every standpoint, and when the judges announced their verdict giving the decision to Holy Cross, all present conceded that the purple warriors had achieved a well merited victory. An annual event in the history of the B. J. F. is the public inter-class debate between chosen teams of the Seniors and Juniors. The winning team is awarded a purse of 3540, the l' interest on a fund founded by the late Rev. John J. Fallon, '80. OFFICERS 1906-7 FIRST TERM. SECOND TERM. Jos. F. Murray, '07 Prcsidelzf VVm. S.

F., the Philomathic Debating Society is of comparatively recent M , origin, but its semewhat short period of existence has been fully as eventful and interesting as has been that of its older sister society. It was just some seven L, years ago that the Philomathic rounded out the first quarter-century of its exist- ' ence. lts charter members, though not yet tottering under the weight of years, 'i are nevertheless fast passing into the autumn of their existence. Like the found- ers of great institutions, their memory will survive long after they have departed from our midst, for they have given to Holy Cross a debating society which has attained a reputation and prestige second to none, a reputation which their successors have guarded and ever will guard as a fondly cherished legacy. The name HPhilomathic, given by the charter members to the junior debating society at I Holy Cross, is expressive of the object and aim of the society. HThe object of this society is to Q cultivate in its members the faculty of debating and to afford them an opportunity of acquiring information on subjects, which shall be principally of an historical or literary character. fCon- stitution, Article Il.l YV Public debates by the Philomathic date back but a few years, formerly patriotic celebrations, 3 mock trials,and ordinary debates, at which only the members were present, were all that engaged its attention. Its intercollegiate debates have been few in number, but, like the public ' interclass debates, now an annual affair of the Philomathic, they have shown that the calibre and ability of the forensic champions of Holy Cross are second to those of no other college. During our stay at Holy Cross, the Philomathic has participated in but one intercollegiate contest-that with Boston College. It was on Tuesday evening, April 4-, 1905, that the l'Cpl'6- . sentatives of the Philomathic met and defeated those of the Freshman-Sophomore Debating V Society of Boston College. The debate was held in Boston College Hall, before a large and enthusiastic audience. The question was: Hftesolved, That literacy, as defined in the Lodge D bill, should not be a test for immigrants.

The field of battle was old Fenwick Hall, the bone of contention was the resolution: HqResolved, that our present tariff system is detrimental to the best interests of the American workingmanf' The representatives of '07 were Robert B. Masterson, William S. Pendleton and VVilliam E. Leahy, with John J. Finn as alternate. The success of our Freshman year did not wait upon us when as Sophomores we once more essayed to hang another scalp at our belt, as our representatives met defeat at the hands of the Freshman debating team. The subject was: HResolved, that municipalities should own and operate their own utilities. The class of '07 was represented by John F. Sullivan, Richard T. C Tobin, John J. Finn, and Vincent T. Meaney, alternate. This defeat was more than atoned for by the brilliant victory which the Philomathic team of 'J that year achieved over the Boston College Debating Society. This team was composed of Charles F. Foley, Wm. S. Pendleton, Wm. E. Leahy, with Robert B. Masterson, alternate, all s members of the class of 1907- As Juniors we sallied forth once more to test our strength in ibrensic combat. Nineteen-seven in the persons of John F.

To have a new director every year mili- tates agai ist the establishment of a glee club as a stable iixture. But despite these handicaps, many an hour has been passed, sweetened by the pleasing har- mony of well-blended voices. VVhat place music held at Holy Cross before our time, we do not know, excepting for the fact that a choir furnished on Sundays the only attempts at arniony. Of course there has always been a 'aback yard quartettef' which on a summer's night discoursed the latest songs, but of a glee club there was none. In Sophomore Mr. M. Augustus Fremgen, S.J. , rounded up all the talent in the house and there were secret sessions in Fenwick Hall. On Holy Cross Night we were treated to our first glee and band concert, for in the canvass for material had been found sundry brass instruments, drums and reeds. The entertainment was particularly pleasing from an artistic point of view and also because of the fact that it was all a surprise on the rest of us. This was but the beginning, and at every public entertainment at the college that year the glee club was always ready to furnish its full share of the enjoyment. The effect upon our own unaccustomed ears had been so pleas- ing that the organization Hmade a moon-light Hitting over to Clinton and took the town by storm. Fitchburg, too, was clamoring for a concert, and the result was so satisfactory that it has become an annual adair. In Junior the club developed so rapidly that VVm. H. Corcoran, '06, was made manager and Wm. J. Cahill, ,07, assistant. Mr. Fremgen had been appointed elsewhere, and Mr. Murphy, ' LS.J., took up the destinies of the organization. Fitchburg was again played to and the house was crowded. In Fenwick Hall there was given a joint ,concert by the glee club and orchestra. It was a delightful event, and a little later Mechanics Hall was well filled to hear a repetition of the success, for the benefit of the San Francisco sufferers. The opening of Senior found another new director in the person of Mr. Gaynor, S.

Cahill was promoted and made a capable and efficient manager. An innovation this year was the abandoning of the staid glees of' former years, and the turning to more pleasing and humorous selections. Fitchburg gave the society another ovation, and a schedule of concerts had been made, to include Milford, another public appearance in Wo1'cester and several other surrounding towns. But class restrictions disbanded the club, and for the rest of the year the quartette, composed of Cahill, '07, McCarthy, '08, Forestelle, '07, Coleman, '10, and later l' Kane, '10, who succeeded Coleman, did all the singing. 5 Their melodious voices have been heard in Worcester at alumni banquets, twice 3.ii'VV21l'l'Cl1, at all the public functions at Holy Cross, and in every instance they were encored 'ufhtil their 'X supply fell short.

Coon song was intermingled with sentimental solo, the jokes, jibes and knocks were no respecters of person, and the general knocks on the daily happenings of our college life proved one of the hits of the evening. There have been minstrel shows and minstrel shows at Holy Cross, but that of the class of 1907 can easily be awarded the palm. Fearful at the outset of the undertaking that we were attempting too much, we were agreeably surprised, as time wore on, at the amount of talent in 1 the class, and on the night of the performance we stepped before the footlights confident that no flaw could be found in our presentation. The stage had been tastefully set and decorated by J VVm. C. Kennedy, to whose efforts in this regard no small part of the success was due, and the 'J picture presented by the ensemble at the rise of the curtain brought forth unstinted applause from the large audience present. The musical end of the programme was attended to by Francis' A. Fadden, '06, and to him, for his untiring labor to make singers of us all and his kindness in waiting upon our wishes at all times, even to his own discomfort, the class owes a debt of gratitude.

In looking about for a substitute, to fill the breach which all felt had been left in the collegiate year, we struck upon the plan of an annual class dinner, hitherto 1' an almost unknown event at Holy Cross, save with the Seniors. Quickly pushing our plans to a head, we found that we could lay claim to the distinction of being the inaugurators of class din- ners aniong the undergraduates, as our example was quickly followed by the other classes.

The event was looked forward to as one of the most pleasant incidents of the year. and now, in reviewing the happenings of our undergraduate years, these events stand forth like oases in a desert. Poetry and verse, history and prophecy, gentle jibes and spirited speeches, lent grace and pleasure to these festive gatherings. We have sung the praises of Alma Mater, have heard of the heights of success yet to be attained by the boys of '073 we have regaled ourselves with tales of the past, with the scenes and incidents of study hall and dormitory life, with happenings and events in which some who are no longer enrolled in the ranks of 'OT were the leading charactersg we have consoled ourselves for the misfortunes of the past with the thought of what might have been and still might be, yet know- ing full well that circumstances would still remain the same, and the entire assembly was per- vaded with the one thought and feeling that we were all boys of '07, loyal toeour class, our college and to one another. Each time we left the festive board we felt in heart and soul that another rivet had been driven in that bond of friendship that has held and will still hold together the boys of '07.

PUWL t A is K. .fee qi roy C The scholastic year 1893-41 witnessed the founding of The Holy Cross Purple, which was V eventually accomplished after several ineffectual attempts. It had long been the desire of the ,J students at Holy Cross to found a magazine which would compare favorably with those of her sister colleges, but not until this late date was their wish realized. Previous to the year 1893 there had been several class journals published, but all attempts to mould these journals into a college paper failedg but when the boys of 1893-4 put themselves to the task they readily pro- duced a successful college paper and a worthy representative of Holy Cross. The Purple is not a classic, it is not a comic paper, but merely the outlet for the literary ability of the students. The principle of life behind The Purple is the student body, and it was to promote ability in the handling of the chief vehicle of thought and to encourage and V stimulate the desire ibr self-improvement in the manner of communicating their ideas fully and adequately that the students of 1893--14 were led to found The Purple. They put forth a rep- resentative journal, one containing notes of interest gathered from every pathway of Holy Cross life, ajournal filled with useful and instructive articles and official college news. Its columns W -,Wa-WQQWMG-.ewabwrwifaiiiw ,Q 194 THE PURPLE PATCHER were further designed, too, to serve as a medium to unite the alumnus more closely with his Alma Mater, to keep him in touch with college happenings and to second his success and that of his friends and classmates. As one of the early editions put it: c'The Holy Cross Purple is a liter- ary magazine the aim of which is to cultivate a high literary spirit among the students by exercising them in both critical and creative composition, and to foster a livelier college spirit among those who have spent their youthful days at Holy Cross. If one would realize the success of the undertaking he need but consider the standing and prestige of The Purple in the collegiate world to-day. lt takes rank among the leading college papers and stands forth a model of literary taste, patriotic sentiment, and college spirit.

To The Purple they would especially extend thanks for its kindness in the loan of half-tone cuts. To under-classmen, too, who so will- ingly contributed to the labors of their Art Editor, they would extend their heartiest appreciation, and say that where so much was submitted they were compelled to choose. Their choice, they trust, was for the best,--offence or partiality were meant for none. They themselves have spared no little time and labor to make their effort one worthyof the class and Alma Mater,-time and conditions alone, perhaps, have rendered it impossible to make their effort a better one. But throughout it all the good will tendered them by others has ever been a source of pleasure to them, and 'now they grasp this o purtunity to express to such their sincerest appreciation.
