We have tried to take advantage of our longer experience in editing this fourth volume. Let us hope that our effort shows itself in the result. Some conservative souls may object to the new garb in which the Patcher appears this year. To them we say we consider the new design more artistic and the new binding more durable than the design and binding of previous volumes. Nor can this be construed as a reflection on any preceding class, for the same nineteen-ten man designed both the new cover and the old. Other details we have varied but slightly, in accordance with custom. The 'twrite-ups have been made as entertaining as the outraged feelings of our classmates and the cold judgment of our censor would permit. Somehow only the more interesting sentences were blue-penciled by the student. Therefore, in reading this book bear in mind our difliculties, as well as our advantages, and above all remember that all work on this book is done over and above the regular duties of an already strenuous Senior year. .

We have ,-E, in formed friendships with one another and with professors, the in- in 'E' fluence of the latter is bound to exert a deep and lasting impres- in '? sion upon us. The life of the ideal teacher is characteristically exemplified gn on on 5, at Holy Cross. Here faculty and student body live beneath the same roof and 5, E, mingle freely, not only in the lecture-hall, but in forum and on field. The 3, Q, influence of this relationship can hardly be overestimated. It is brought into ff fl! striking contrast when compared with the reservedness of teachers in the in 'Q' great secular colleges and universities' where communication between profes- 'E ein , . . . gin Jn sol and pupil is confined entirely to the class-room. in fi We who have spent these years under the tutelage of the followers of St. 5, ,Q Ignatius have been impressed especially with the grandeur and nobility of QQ, els their lives. Sacrificing home, Wealth and worldly prestige, they have an- P39 'Q' swered the call of loftier things. It is for us, therefore, to let the influence of 'Q' ? their teaching be felt in the World through the medium of their graduates-R 'gn . . . . . . U0 eg, thus reflecting, though faintly, perhaps, the reputation of men whose training, 7 Q . . . 'U Q Gy, experience and influence make them eminently fitted to instruct pupils.

Qu March 12th of our Senior year it was our sad duty to assist at the funeral of our One- time Professor of Elocution, the Rev. Li. C. jones, S. il. His death came as a surprise to all. Though ailing somewhat for a week or more, yet he was of robust constitution, and no doubt whatever was entertained of his speedy recovery. Death came to him, however, on the night of Thursday, March IO, and with his passing Holy Cross lost one whose long years of service had made a link between the deeds of the present and the past. Seventeen years he spent at lloly Cross in' the performance of various duties, but he will be best remembered as a teacher of elocution and director of many successful college plays. Dur- ing his long residence at the College he made for himself a host of friends who will miss his kindly greeting on their return to their .Xlma Mater. Interested in everything that pertained to Holy Cross, he was especially observant of her progress in athletics, and we found no small de- light in disputing with him his opinions on this subject. He was a familiar figure at all our games, and not a few have remarked his absence from his accustomed place during the season that has just passed. His manner was simple and kindly, and in his own unobtrusive way encour- aged by his charity many a drooping spirit. .Xs a monument to his energy he has left behind him at the entrance to our chapel a shrine to the Sacred Heart in quartered oak, a rare work of art. that we venture to say has no equal in the halls of our sister colleges. That the Sacred Heart may deal kindly with him is our fervent prayer. To his brother, and to his nephew, an alumnus of St. .loseph's College, l'hiladelphia, we extend our heartiest sympathy. R.

Varsity Baseball Q2, 3j. Although a charter member of the Grder of Diminu- tivesf' Eddie has been able to hold his own. Nothing has been able to ruliie his characteristic composure, nor tear down his edifice of dignity, which shelters innumerable manners which are both manly and worthy of emulation. His four years at Holy Cross have been one grand series of triumphs, not only in the intellectual department, but also in the social line. A certain charm of bewitching the fair sex is possessed by him, but as a practical philosopher he never overworks this asset: yet it can be safely asserted that he is a caustic opponent of inactivity. In the class-room his work has been consistent and successful. However, it was not until his Senior year that he demonstrated to his fellow classmates his wonderful agility in mastering philosophical propositionsg he made the leaders of the class sit up and take notice. lddies hobby is to haxe batting beesy' with Neal Sweeney. Buck thinks that the youngster from Peacedale is a master of the delicate art of mixing the real and weird in a crucible wherein the chemicals of truth and exactness have no welcome. On the other hand, Ed idolizes Neal's humor- ous style of vividly depicting the wild scenes of his early childhood. Ed also frequents the Lodge, where he falls spell-bound before the thrills of McNulty and the puns of Bill O'Keefe. It was in the junior year that Eddie', and f'Count Riga- li took out their marriage license. The two have ever since lived in peace and tranquility. Count', has made an ideal partner: his enthusiasm for his mate helping much in assistf ing Eddie to perform on the baseball field with true Holy Cross spirit. Graduation will bring about the divorce of a very happy couple. ln pace se relinquantf' S, 5? V X 7 gf I 1, S ,' .

BURKE Clinton, Mass. Heuney. Bunny.'i Thy spirit, independence, let me share. -Smollet Henry has honored Clinton by choosing that enterpris- ing town for his birthplace, and true to the traditions of his native heath he is a politician through and through. Bun- ny's politics always takes an insurgent turn-he could show Murdock of Kansas or Norris of Nebraska a few points any day. He was much in evidence in the memorable Tam- many uprising in Junior, and emerged from the fray covered with glory and epithets. His independent tendencies have kept him ever at variance with the Supreme Authority, so that Bunny's long career has not been without its quota of excitement. He pulled off his culminating performance in Senior, when he failed to attend one of Fr. l.lurke's moving picture shows. The explanation of his non-appearance. which came out later, was that he was elucidating a Neo-Pytha- gorean system, whose magic numbers were seven and eleven, to Bohn Sweeney, Daly, and Flauigan. Heuney is a pro- cy to sleep just a minute more, which is common to ficient late sleeper. The teuden all ol ns. is especially well devel- oped in him. XYhether Henney is a day scholar or a resi- dent student is a debatable question. He has been oscillating between the Niieston Club and the Sous of Morpheus for lol these many years. At present writing he is paying tribute to the Consolidated, but may at any time be back to the old haunts on the Senior corridor. Bunny has the Clintonian love for work and stands well in his classes, that is in philos- ophv and the classics. He never became so absorbed in a meal, however. He will always be remembered for his l hilipicus Contra l'atrem Klalioneyf' l gg it -A ' p Wx :gil , K! If d , ,X mf ML Yi ix .

BURKE Thompsonville, Conn. Hockey, Pat . Sunny. A fellow that hath had lasses and one that hath two gowns and everything handsome about him. -Shakespeare Class Basketball fri. Class Baseball tl, 23. Class Foot- ball Cgi. Banquet Committee 139. XYhat would our class be without a sport of Hockey Burke's type? Not even the keenest intellects of 1910 would venture to say. Since his advent on Mt. St. james Sunny has been regarded as the greatest authority in every athletic line. His popularity has assumed such proportions that he has been elected captain of the Wlhist League. Xllith his usual modesty he enjoys his new position and has a smile plus a halloo for everybody. This year Pat has reached the real ambition of his college career,-membership in the Glee Club. As a songster he has proved a very valuable asset to the organization. His musical temperature is taken every day and ju jubes are supplied to him for the 'full preservation of his Carusonian voice. A word about his ability in the class-room should not be omitted. Vifhen Hockey sets his mind to a task good re- sults always follow. Some sage whispered in his ear last summer that he was an innate Philosopher. The hint was taken, with the consequence that the leaders look upon him as no mean rival for academic honors. Although Hockey, has been laboring under the atmos- pheric pressure at lN'orcester for the last tour years, yet in vain does he try to banish the sweet thoughts of his own dear old Thompsonville. Here is the seat of all things that are best: dances. cute little girls, cigars, good fellowship: in fact, every- thing which makes liie worth the living. Wlith the old boy back permanently amidst the scenes of his childhood. greater efforts will be made for the civic improvement of the far- tamed Carpet Town. 5 Nab L H , T Bal' a lf, -air as O ' - --' 5 ' it l CN I , n ,QS if 'iff I0 Merc e ow ' AK, he o D 65 Roc step, wx, M, C, .sk 1 xi-xl ' N' l E' 1 ffc To i gy il XD!

Toastmaster 133. Cheer Leader LU. Chairman Banquet Committee l2f. Class Football 41, 2, 35. Callan, our periodic president of Junior, deposed every other day, is a man of rare qualities. He is possessed of that dryest of dry humor and has oft been styled the college wit and humorist. lf quotations are not at hand Ed. kindly lends one of his own. The joy of prefects and professors, never caught for an answer, never at a loss to explain, he has cer- tainly made a memorable record at college. Calamity's great forte is his ability to speak. XYhen occasion and neces- sity demand, his eloquence and force cannot be equalled. As an extemporaneous speaker he has made a record for him- self, the memory of which will live as long as the memory of the class of IQIO. Ed. has taken the most Popular course in college, and when not propped up in reading or trying out his luck in the Frat room lCaniield'sl, he is found beating Twig at pool at The Club or. as he tersely puts it, play- lf Ed. does not succeed it will be only by the most un- foreseen circumstances, his luck being prodigious, as evidenced in the P. C. League of old, when the rumor was current that he bought a new trunk in which to keep it. Ed proved him- self a born inventor many times over, especially when it came to late sleeping and frequent absence.

During his Senior year he seemed to suffer from a disease peculiarly recurring on Thursdays, although he affirms Thursday is my lucky day. Bill brought many of his basketball tricks into the circle of his friends, to their great distress, indulging in such pleasantries as poking one in the ribs, twisting arms, slaps ping one on the back, and many other things which are more pleasant to remember than to experience.

Pat is a. chipper little man from down street, who comes and goes and mingles among us without making much commotion or excitement. He is a decided, not to say ex- treme, brunette, and has been called handsome. One of his most conspicuous characteristics is his slowness of movement. lllondy Casey says that Pats feet have an absolute loath- ing' for movement at any time or in any place. lrle always starts for the college at live-thirty in the morning, claiming that it is easier to start with plenty of time than to walk the extra distance for a late ticket, to say nothing of the risk incurred by entering the Prefect-of-Studies' office. As to social diversions, it is said that Pat is more di- verted by the daughters of Sweden than by any other daugh- i ters that can be named.

V At one time Cherry Valley seemed to occupy an especially warm spot in his heart: but. since he initiated Stephe, who at that time was an unsophisticated youth, into this same polite society, Doc's sojourns to the valley have been few and far between. Demosthenes was a born orator and not an opportunity is offered but he occupies the floor. Can we ever forget his captivating eloquence and his nasal drawl? Doc is also charged with being a' member of the Bald Men's Club, though he himself denies it. lVe are inclined to believe that he is, in some degree affiliated with this ostracized society. Being a daily reader of the Syracuse journal, this fact may account for the apparent indifference which Doc displays toward the other members of the breakfast table.

Phil is noted for his nocturnal rhapsodies. He makes a pleasing concert for those who live in the vicinity of Room 7 in the chance hour of their restlessness. Jim Connors, however. claims that Phillip sleeps with a deep voice that is much like a fog-horn, and which is most annoying. Pillows and other available missiles have been frequently utilized by the rudely awakened one in the early hours of morning-but to no avail. Always pleasant with a joke, and a capital story teller.

As Bryan's diplomacy and business acumen were evident from the first, it .is not surprising that he was elected manager of baseball in his Sophomore year. To him is due the credit for the arrangement of the splendid schedule for IQIO, which is one of the best in baseball history at Holy Cross. It is the opinion of his class-mates that Mike's real name is M. B. S. McNulty, as he possesses a wonderful ability in applying the salve. He can pass it out on all occasions, and it is generally acknowledged that he is at least the equal of our old friend Bull Connery. Hughey is a stockholder and charter member of the Glee Club, and a soloist of no little merit. Ragtime is his specialty.

He has a certain knack of learning lessons by intuition while the rest of us have to put several weary hours on our tasks before they are mas- tered.

In Jimmie we have another veteran of 1910, another member of old Special Latin, and although the other remain- ing members have been thoroughly plucked during their col- lege course, Jim still retains all his feathers. Many of the boys owe to Jim their present standing in XYorcester's social circles, as it was from him that they re- ceived the fundamental principles of the Thespian art. Jim can get more music out of an harmonica than any one else in the school, and has been a wonder in cheering us up on dull days. His niftiosity in the gentle art of the buck and wing is unsurpassed, although Stanton claims to be a close rival.

Bill came to us from the busy city of Randolph, Mass., and ere he had been with us a week we heard wonder- ful tales about the illustrious citizens of the above-mentioned village. XYhen Hill would spring one that produced a few groans and remarks from his audience with regard to his ver- acity, all he had to say was, XYell, if you don't believe me ask jack L'niac, and this argument was used on so many occasions that Keefe grew tired of it himself. Bill follows two systems of philosophy. The first is that of the l'eripatetics, and together with his disciple, Phil Donnelly, he has been over the road to Holden many times. Some of us think that the road to Oxford is just as charming and inspiring, and we are of the opinion that Messrs Keefe and Donnelly think so too. However, they always said they had been to Holden. The second system is that of Socrates. and Bills Socratic schools haxc become famous. As a ball player Keefe is at his best. Many times have we heard about those games down in Randolph and those 14 put-outs. NYere it not for that fatal class game. when he was twice caught asleep on hrst base, Bill would have enjoyed an en- viable reputation for the rest of his days. most of his time during the past year in Hill spent thinking out schemes for sneaking it over on his wily room- mate, Mike McNulty, but when Mike would say, with his winning smile, O you silver heels, lieefe would retire from the conflict.

XVhile most of us were wondering whether we'd be detectives or pirates when we grew up, Gus was already coming late to five classes a day and studying to be a great man like Sockalexis. Since Freshman, however, he has grad- ually changed to a society butterfiy, and is doubling as a class football star, besides taking a thinking part in class track. As a swimmer Gus has Annette Kellerman and Cassius yelling for life preservers in the first round. Together with Qld VVarrior Bowes he actually forced a passage through the slimy Blackstone without any anaesthetic. He isn't aliiicted exactly with what one would call thc nervous temperament. He goes the same gait whether he is twenty minutes late or only three or four. VVhether he is waiting his turn at an oral exam or has his grip packed for a vacation he uses thc same wailino voice in speaking. Judging from his voice one would think that Gus was always med- B28LOWfSfve2t itating on the Four Last Things, or the future of the Demo- cratic Party. Cut of his winning smiles and his faculty of making one feel flattered by his attentions, C1ggles'i has evolved a pain- less method of extracting specie from his fellow students, which he uses with deadly effect. fNote.

From the moment of his arrival at Holy Cross he began to do as the Romans did, and it was not long until he was as an enthusiastic a member of IQIO as those of us who remember Prep days. He immediately became a prominent member of society, and together with Hill Renehan has done his share in per- forming the social obligations of the class. He has won fame as an amateur actor and elocutionist, but it is as a singer that Sally is pre-eminent. Often have we listened to the beautiful strains of D XYben I Die, as his melodious voice echoed and re-echoed through the corridors of Alumni Hall with such a resonance that the very doors were cracked, and even the walls stood still. In fact, Sally holds the unique distinction of having struck a chord twice in one year. He also has various other 1nusical accomplishutents. He has made it an indexible rule of life never to try on more than six collars at one time, and not to break more than two ties a month. In an argument Sally can hold his own until it comes to a comparision of the relative merits of the Germans and Irish. He had to admit that the lrish take the prize. In fact, he publicly made this acknowledgment by giving a hoiah in the refectory for St. Patrick on the 17th of March. Sally knows the H.

Henry entered Holy Cross as an humble Prep. in the class of Special Greek, and during his first year was content to stay out of the limelight, as he holds all inferior under classmenb should do. But when he reached the dignity of a college man, he developed into a clever politician, and by his election to the office of Chief Censor of NVaiters became famous. Harry may truly be called the Eddie Leonard' of IQIO. He is never without a new step to show the boys, and were it' not for the striking similarity between the new ones and the old, we would have sent him on the stage long ago. The histrionic powers of Mi: Stanton are known to all his classmates, and well we remember that famous debate in which Stanton and Wfalsh were struggling for forensic su- premacy. The question 'was one of great moment and the debate was so closely contested, that, were it not for Grum- py s hnal subtle distinction, a decision would have been im- possible. Grump'si My Old College Chum as Buck Sweeney calls him, is a baseball fan, and knows everyone in the world who ever saw a baseball. His great rival in this re- gard is Keefe who claims a greater knowledge of baseball history.

His clarion call, lYho's shy, will long ring in our uneasy ears. Twig has a weakness on the port side and when attacked by this weakness is quite an entertaining monologist. Again he is very proficient in conversing with Skip Dowd, which is quite an accomplishment. Twig claims he watched the comet one morning, but it might have been due to the efforts of our Sophomore friends. lYe are not much worried with respect to this young man's future, since we know he can make a success of anything he engages in, provided. of course. he does not allow his popularity with both sexes to eclipse his business interests.

Joe hails from the Brass City, and has been with us for the entire course. ln his Sophomore year he decided to take Triste Lignumn for better or for worse, and it is the opinion of the class that the balance is entirely in favor of the better. A diligent student and ready athlete comprise Joes make-up. Gne would imagine from his quiet demeanor about the corridor and this stay-in-your-own-room'' policy that Tony was trying to substantiate that proverbial epithet of plugger, but appearances are sometimes deceitful, for Tony is a raging volcano when aroused, and he oftentimes visits his class-mates to borrow nerve dope for XNild Bill, and casually entertains any chance visitor with an opinion of his room-mate, Tony is a member of the P. A. League and his room is very often the scene of a strenuous session, when Jules requests the ante Most of Cap's,' time is employed in quieting the nerves of Bill, and we must say that he has no easy task on his hands. 'KIoe was a member of nearly all our class teams and his prowess in baseball has been watched by several big league scouts, but Tony refuses to have his head turned with the offers of wealth and fame, and he says he much prefers to remain in the bush league in Connecticut and be a real hero. If Joe only had Bill for his guiding star throughout life we are certain that his career would be well spentg still it is our opinion that Joe will succeed even without Triste.,' ga lisa' 25-l'EJ'3' ' ?' 3 J, XX was 412- X Q N is T new Yi?-'ix 1 'Po W MX E 4 it -rl-11' x dh 4,5255 lb ZSQ'-.E 'PARADISE A ?

President of the Class of 1910 in Freshman and Sopomore. lf our class government is an indication of the part we are going to play when we are all citizens, then the social order requires that we be shipped to Central America for the rest of our natural lives. Qur sojourn on the hill has been, to put it mildly, a bit strenuous. Other classes have had practically the same administration from registration to diploma. Not so nineteen-ten. XYQ have had three administrations in our last two years here, scraps innuinerable, plots, coun- terplots, invective and apology, and all the appurtenances of a regular legislative assembly. To begin at the beginning our first president was Wfilliam P. Connery. His reign corre- sponds in our class history to the Golden Age of Classic Mythology. All was peaceful and serene as the election of municipal park board. If there ever was a practical exponent ol' llar- mony with a big H, Connery is it. True there were some stormy meetings: lor instzuace, the la- 112 THE PURPLE PATCHER mous one in Freshman when the dispute arose concerning the distribution of the banquet speeches among the various divisions.. But when occasion demanded there was no thought of clique or division. Wfhen we came back in Junior, Bill was nolonger with us. For the first time we had to look about us for a president. The brain work required in the search was unaccustomed and ex- hausting. Cui' idea of a president was Bill. Every man who was nominated was claimed to bc the one man in the class most like Connery. Finally after due deliberation, Ed Callan got the prize for giving the best imitation of our dear departed. ' Callan's career was brief but eventful. There was always some news while Ed had hold of the rudder. Ed was popular enough,--no man more so-but between asking for holidays and picking committees, the welkin kept ringing incessantly. There came finally an interregnum of a month-a truce with the Faculty. The upshot was that Callan decided he preferred private life and resigned in favor of that other representative of Connery's policies, Gregory Scanlon. The excitement abated somewhat but the Class Banquet renewed it. Nevertheless, Scanlon bore himself well and kept the class in a reasonably peaceable condition,-meaning that we carried no concealed weapons-till on the night of the banquet, the class was almost onspeaking terms with itself. In an incredibly short-seeming time we were Seniors and again looking for a president. NVars and rumors of war were atioat, and old time animosities were renewed. After a lively and exciting campaign and election, our fourth and last president, Laurence F. Q'Toole, was elected. 0'Toole is distinguished by his alacrity in leading the presidents of the other classes up to the Presidentis office in quest of a holiday, and by his tenacity of purpose once he is behind the ground-glass door. He scents the holiday from afar, and fights valiantly for it. His head is clear and in some class meetings every trace of its clarity is pressed into ser- vice. He knows Cushing's Manual by heart backwards, and the man who rises to a point of order' is usually mistaken. He also shows an endeavor to be impartial in his choice of com- mittees which endeavor is appreciated by the class at large. It is a stirring sight when the air is rent with calls for recognition, hisses, stamping of feet and angry exchange of words, to see Larry striking his knuckles into the desk with such violence as to raise him off his feet and crying Qrder, order, gentlemen, order, with his lusty Clinton voice. Needless to say order usually reappears in a short While. From what has been said here it is not hard to realize that a Class Presidency is no mere empty title. It carries with it laborious duties, and is the central point of many delicate situa- tions with the result that a Class President at Holy Cross gains quite a share of honor and re- spect from his position. fW 7 M' W2 Z4 Zff , f W Z, f WW I 0 1,14 Benkert, Louis A.

CLASS OF :gn iI6 THE 'PURPLE PATCHER The Class of 1911 The class of IQII this year entered the ranks of Pliilosopliy, with sixty-seven members of an original Freshman class of eighty-seven. All told, this year has bee11 an exceptionally bright one for us. In Athletics at Holy Cross, 1911 was well represented throughout the year. IN FQQTBALL we supplied the squad with much material-some helped to build the skill of others -some worked and won in their effort to secure honors for Alma Mater, And in addition we can proudly boast an 'II man as captain of next year's team. f iv IN TRACK with a IQII man as captain we had unlooked for success. And taking into consideration the inexperience of some of the m en we turned out the Junior Class can well take pride in having been a factor in the making of this year's track team. Wfe may rightly say that the success of the team has been in a great measure due to .the unrivalled captaincy of a 1911 man. IN BASEBALL-VVell, we have the captain and what else do we want. With a fast team this 1911 man has piloted us through as successful a baseball season as visited Packachoag in many years. As regards class contests we were not found wanting. For even though we de- parted from the scenes of contest not laurel crowned, our efforts were not in vain. In the first interclass meet of many years 1.911 was a creditable second-a virtual win. Then in the winter months a series of interclass basketball games claimed our attention. At the beginning of the season our showing was not up to our us ual standard. However, by dint of persever- ance, we climbed the ladder to an unhoped for third place. 1911 claimed for itself an eagerly expected distinction by reversing precedent in besting the power of the Seniors' debating ability in a keenly contested discussion, a boast in the possession of few Junior classes. Goodfellowship can never be too often the topic, or at least the victim of an expressive pen. For besides that, there is no greater means of lending to the comfort and enjoyment of a family such as we make up. However, no spiteful factionary squabbles cloud the peaceful hori- zon by which we are ever surrounded. And if the bien faisancen continues-and we can vouch it shall continue-we foresee for IQII an unprecedented career when it returns to don cap and gown. - V if Wlshre fd , 4 4 Y 118 THE PURPLE PATCHER 1912 Class Register Sophomore A.

CLASS OF 1913 124 THE PURPLE PATCHER The Class of 1913 The Freshman, the largest ever at Holy Cross, and by far the largest class in the country pursuing a strictly classical course, boasts close to one hundred and fifty members. XfVe have given a fresh impetus to college activities on Mount St. james and bid fair to be a banner class and to set records, which will be difficult to surpass. Freshmen have shone prominently in all branches of athletics. W'e started off well by handily winning the inter- class track meet and incidentally the inter-class relay championship. Wfe have outstripped all the' other classes in contributing athletes to the varsity teams, and the football eleven of' last fall was largely constituted of men from our class, and on the baseball squad several IQI3 men shone prominently. The Freshman team made a game fight for the basketball championship, but in the end conceded the series to the Senior quintet by a narrow margin. Far be it from us to profess ourselves a class of grinds, but we do confess that we have made a brilliant record in the class room. XVe held our own in the debating society and it was with the utmost difficulty that the decision of the Philomathic Debate was awarded to the Sophomores. N ' Vfe were thoroughly imbuedgzvith the grand Holy Cross spirit shortly after our arrival, which spirit evinced itself by our brilliant showing on Holy Cross Night. During the year we have fostered and developed it, uniting a strong class with a stronger college spirit, which holds fair play as its motto. It is this spirit which will actuate us in all the activities of col- lege and inter-collegiate life. Fourth Year. E Bannan, James M. Birt, James G. Brett, Henry W. Cahill, Williani J.

The man of business, the vxforldiamed surgeon, the silver-tongued barrister, and the missionary toiling in far distant lands for his Master, all turn back in reverie to the days they have spent at Holy Cross. NfYl1ereve1' we have a handful of Holy Cross men we fmd a bond of union, an esprit de corps, which is the marvel of the graduates of other colleges. Holy Cross spirit and Holy Cross loyalty have always been by- words all over the land, but during the past few years, as the result of the efficient and persistent work of the officers of the Alumni Associa- tion, the old grads have shown more and mo re their affection for the college on the Hilliof Pleasant Springs that was, years ago, the scene of their joys and sorrows, struggles and triumphs. Every year the Purple chronicles a long list of alumni who are sending sons or brothers to imbibe the classic lore and spirit of Holy Cross, and the fondest wish of, a Holy Cross alumnus is that his Alma Mater may be able to point to his sons and say, as Cornelia said of 'Tiberius and Caius, These are my jew els, ln 1907 the number of our graduates passed the thousand, and the fact that this year nearly three times as many are to be graduated as in 1900, shows what strides our alumni are taking in numbers. Social Alumni Associations are a thing of very recent origin at Holy Cross, the first branch inaugurated being the Connecticut .'u.lu11111i Association, organized in 1896. Other branches were soon formed in Worcester County, Bristol County, Berkshire County, Northeastern Pennsylvania, New York, Boston, Rhode lsland and Philadelphia. On March 30 of this year the graduates of the llmlerrimac Valley held their first annual dance, and steps are now being taken for the formation of a Merrimac Valley Alumni Association. As a lasting memorial of the financial support of our old students we have our magnifi- cent new building, Alumnii Hall, erected in 1905, and which is being paid for by the generosity of the Alumni. Nor does, the student of the present day look upon an alumnus as some indefinite person having little or no connection with him, for at each annual observance of Holy Cross Night, our Qld Grads who have blazed a trail of success in life come back to give a few words of cheer and encouragement to the collegian, and without ruthlessly tearing away from him his rosy- tinted visions of success, to remind him that the road to prominence is long and strewn with ob- stacles. And each june as Alma Mater sends at few more devoted sons to add to the glory of her name, the Alumni come back and make the rafters ring with their refrain: Thy sons are true They fight for you Oh Holy Cross.

Debating Society It is with a laudable feeling of pride that we refer to this society as the home of forensic power and ability. From its very beginnings up to the present day, a long series of victorious contests has followed in its wake. Full well did the early pioneers of Holy Cross recognize the oft-told benefits, and needs of such a society. In accord with their natural instincts, such men as Judges Henry H. Dodge, Henry Brownson, Rev. Edward Boone, later president of the college, and Bishop Healy, took upon themselves to establish the forensic arena wherein, since those felicitous days, so many and such important questions have been discussed pro and con. V Article I of the constitution reads: This society was founded .in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, the seven tieth 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. Three years elapsed between the founding of this oldest Catholic College in New England, and the establishment of a debating society which it had thoroughly organized. n Another article of the constitution informs us of the name and the reason of its selection: The society adopts as altoken of affection and gratitude the name B. J. F., these letters being the initials of the Rt. Reverend Benedict Joseph Fen wick, one of the bishops of Boston, and the founder of Holy Crossf' The' fact that the society has Hourished constantly and victoriously is proof in itself that the society cherishes the name of its founder. :Xu annual event of great importance in the history of the B. F. is the public inter- class debate between teams representative of the Seniors and Junior classes to whom the socie- ty's membership is limited. The winning side is awarded a purse of forty dollars, the interest on a fund founded by the Rev. john Fallon of the class of '8o. B. F.

J. F., records nevertheless in its history of thirty-live years an existence fully as eventful and interest- ing. Cherishing this priceless legacy with all cl ue appreciation of those who founded it, the Freshmen and Sophomore classes of each succ eeding' year avail themselves of its vast opportu- nities. 4 The object and aim of the society is readily derived from its name, Philomathic: lt affords its members an opportunity of developin gg' that happy faculty of speech, and of acquiring a knowledge of questions of an economic or literary character. Until this year it has been the custom for some generous alumnus to offer three gold medals which were contested for in public debate by members chosen from the two lower classes. Previously, mock trials, literary circles. and private debates were the custom. On the occasion of its last annual prize debate, however. the l'hilomathic Debating Society was able to make the following welcome announcement: Next year, li. e., I9Io,J for the first time, the award for the Philomathic debate will be the Io- seph O'Connor purse, being' a purse of forty dollars yielded by a permanent fund of one thou- sand dollars, donated as amemorial of Joseph tl. O'C'onnor, of the class of 1909, who died at Newburyport, Mass., February 17th, IQOQS, Few have been the inter-collegiate debates entered into by the Philomathic-none within our memory. Wie trust that some class in the near future will again adopt the initiative in this matter, as we feel that it would stimulate an additional interest in the society, and in the cul- tivation of that admirable faculty of public oratory and power of debate, V THE PURPLE PATCHER Officers 1909-1910 MODERATOR, FR.

THE PURPLE PATCHER 139 Sodality of the Immaculate Conception Of the ma11y societies at Holy Cross there is but one that exercises a more vital influence upon the lives of those who participate in its exercises than the Sodality of the Immaculate Con- ception. Qrganized Dec. 8, 1844, this society has for these past sixty-six years fiourished,-a prolific source of good-and increased constantly the number of its sodalists, until the year IQOQ- IO has been the most prosperous in its history. lt extends a gracious welcome to every student in the college, inviting all to co-operate in furthering a Filial devotion to the Mother of God. Vol- untary exercises constitute the essence of the Sodality. Thus the spirit of religion blends harmo- niously with the intellectual and the physical training in the development of true manhood. Thus the society identihes itself with that which is basic and of primary importance in the growth of a truly liberal education. 'fffo THE PURPLE PATCHER Officers 1909-1910 DIRECTOR, REV.

THE PURPLE PATCHER 141 Day Scholars' Sodality A society that exerts a marked influence on the religious character of the day students attending Holy Cross is the Day Scholars' Sodality, auspiciously dedicated to the Blessed Moth- er of God. Its object in general is the fostering of religious fervor in the exercise of piety, and in the practice of good works, while in particular it is the instilling into the hearts of its members a deep and hlial devotion to Mary, Our Motherti XVeekly meetings are held. at which one of the Reverend Fathers addresses the members on the duties of a Sodalist, encouraging them to ipersevere in the good work in which they are engaged. To the arduous and persistent labor of the moderator, Mr. Charles F. Connor, S. J., nobly assisted by the Prefects, are due the rapid growth and widespread influence of this Sodal- ity. It is the fond wish of the moderator and the members that the society shall continue to increase so that it may become a great source of pride to Holy Cross and of spiritual benefit to those inscribed upon its roll. vu.

Many years ago it made its hrst modest appearance in pamphlet-like form, and has since gone on increasing in size and-breathe it gently-in merit un- til at present it has quite a respectable standing among college magazines. The writer has seen several letters sent to the moderator, Mr. Kimball, I., by old staff men praising, in most grati- fying terms, the present volume of the Purple even at the expense of the older volumes. How- ever, it may be said that those old slim numbers make exceedingly interesting reading and graphically depict the life at the college of any given period. Much credit for the present year's work of the Purple is due to its editor-in-chief, Mr. James F. Connors ,IO. His editorials, always timely, forceful and natural are interesting and im- pressive. Too much cannot be said for Mr. Kimball, S. who keeps the staff pens going. llihile he is soliciting articles the Purple need never fear a shortage of matter. As the chronicle of the college the Purple is authority for everything pertaining to athletic history recording in fullest detail each football contest or baseball game or meet. Not the least important of its functions is that of keeping the Alumni in touch with the college, and with each other through its Alumni Section. Each month there appears a plentitude of Alumni gossip gleaned from anywhere and everywhere, which, we may be sure, is not overlooked by the Pur- ple's old grad subscribers.

Dramatics have always been an important item in the College Chronicle at 1-loly Cross. During our course we have enjoyed four splendid productions, one at the close of each year, which have been admitted by all to be amon the first in the line of amateur dramatics. In this branch of College life the students have ever taken a lively interest! 11Or was this interest lacking on the part of the faculty. The success which has attended the efforts of the society has been, to a great extent, due to the untiring zeal of the competent moderator, Rev. Father Hann, S. Yet his energetic coaching could have accomplished little had not the society offered excel- lent material. The quality of plays has always been that which should characterize all College produc- tions, namely culture and refinement, and we can testify that this spirit was manifested in those which we have had the pleasure of witnessing. The class, through the Patcher wishes to extend its sincere congratulations to Mr. Charles F. Connor, S. J., who assisted Fr. Hann in the direction of dramatics this year. The play itself was the best expression of his dramatic ability. IQO7 DRAM ATICS 1909. The class of IQIO had it's first opportunity of seeing the work of the society in Rob Roy, an adaptation of Scott's novel of the same name, presented on May 6, 1907, in the Franklin Square Theatre. . The leading role was undertaken by Daniel -I. Prior, who left us at the end of Freshman year. His voice and carriage were suited exactly to the part, and the hearty applause of the large audience indicated its appreciation of his efforts. Thomas Meehan's interpretation of the character of Dougall was excellent. It was a part requiring much dramatic ability, and Mr. Meehan deserved the great praise that he won. A --ai--T--V - -, i48. 2 THE PURPLE PATCHER W'illiam Conroy, also a member of our class in Freshman acquitted himself ver cr d't bl in his presentation of the part of McGregor. J T y C 1 a y The play selected by the society for 1908 was The Hidden Gem by Cardinal Wiseman, which was presented with decided success in the Franklin Theatre on May 4. In this production Tl u M 1 . . . . . . . iomas .I ee ian had another splendid opportunity of displaying his powers of acting, in the role of Bibulus, possibly a more difficult one than that played byihim the year before. His mar- vellous facial expressions were the topic of much favorable criticism The work of John VV. Finnerty deserves special mention. He played the part of Eusebius, leader of the slaves, and his remarkable voice and graceful stage presence won for him much d . merite applause. F. Chester Leahy deserves great praise for the dramatic k'll h' l il out the performance. His elocution was perfect Other members of the class appeared in F.uphemianus. Among them Francis A. Bowes noted, - 'On April 27, 1909, the Dramatic Society presented in the Franklin Square Theatre a four- act comedy entitled Professor Babbitt's Tragedy, an adaptation of Augustine Daly's A Night Off. This play was a departure from the style of those of the previous years, the cast being composed of fewer members. Perhaps this may explain the decided success of the comedy as greater attention could be given to each part. The play was overflowing with comic situations in which excellent opportunity was af- forded the actors to display their talents. ' Thomas Meehan, who, by this time hadgained fame fromehis previous appearances, im- personated the character of justinian Babbitt. Here, too, Mr. Meehan had a difficult role and again he measured up tothe occasion in such a way as to merit unstinted applause. Mr. Leon A. Selman, made his first appearance in Holy Cross dramatics in the character of Lord Mulbery, a part which called for much dramatic ability. Mr. SCl1T13l1,S grace of carriage and pleasing manner endeared'him to the students and the Worcester patrons of the society. s 1 w ici ie evidenced through-' and his portrayal of the part true to nature. the chorus, composed of slaves in the house of and Augustine F. O'Neil were especially to be ALL THE COM FORTS OF HOME. The vehicle in which the Dramatic Society made its public appearance this year, on the night of May 23rd, was one of Mr. Gillettels famous comedies, All the Comforts of Home. Universal opinion has it that one of the greatest hits of its career was scored. The com- edy is in four acts, and its comic situations and amusing characters afforded delightful enter- tainment. The cast was well-balanced. Each member seemed thoroughly to understand his character, putting into the part the life it demanded, and the result was a finished. production. james F.. Mahoney ,IO, as Alfred Hastings, who turns his uncle's private dwelling into a board- ing house during the 1atter's absence, won great applause for his excellent work. He was excep- THE PURPLE PATCHER 149 tionally clever because of the naturalness which he sustained throughout. ln fact, it may be said, he lived the part rather than acted it. The comedy role could not have been in better hands than those of Edmund A. Gener- eux, 'II. His admirable interpretation of the part ably assisted by his own characteristic traits in the mirth-provoking strain furnished a pleasing contrast to Hasting's person, and en- hanced with his ludicrous makeup, his antics kept the audience in ,continuous laughter. Leon A. Selman, ,IO, appeared as Jack Bender, a stage-struck youth. In the delineation of that character, Mr. Selman's dramatic ability was clearly brought out, and that same grace and natural manner in which he manifested in the plays of the previous year, once more gained for him the applause of a delighted audience. The character of Josiah Bender, Jack's father was ably portrayed by Charles C. Conaty, 'I2. He displayed excellent skill in acting the role of an old man, and brought out strongly the characteristics of the part. in A most difficult character, that of Mozart Dabney, a nervous and broken-down music teacher, received an excellent delineation from Vifilliam P. McGlynn. His acting was fully ap- preciated by all. john McCoy Slattery, '12, is worthy of much commendation for his impersonation 'of Chester Playwell, another Booth, as also does john A. lYillo, '11, who played the part of Egbert Pettibone, the suspecting father. Both displayed rare abilities. John H. Hearley, Jr., '1 1, and Vlfilliam Heffern ,I3, as two medical students and bosom friends, made a very good impression. The natural abilities of James G. Russell, '12, who assumed the character of Judson Lang- horn. a gentleman of leisure, made it very easy for him to carry his part with a finish that was pleasing to all. The part of Augustus McSnatch was ably performed by Gregory Scanlon, ,IO. His act- ing and appearance on the stage were a source of much pleasure. A. Roger Smith, '13, was very clever as a typical messenger boy. Michael A. Donohue. 'Il, as the Butler, and Daniel I. Dolan, '13, as the man upstairs, also deserve mention. To the able and energetic efforts of Mr. Charles Connor, S. instructor, Mr. Bernard Feeny, 'o9, business manager, and Mr. Denis A. O'Brien, '12, stage manager, the success of the play is largely due.

Wlhen, one starts to write on a subject like this in which he takes great pride and about which his feelings are so strong. he is apt to indulge in glittering generalities which mean lit- tle and give the impression that the writer has nothing to say. Hence we will endeavor to make our statements as particular as possible. All branches of athletics at Holy Cross are strictly subordinate to the regular scholastic work. Teams and squads, games and meets are simply means of recreation, both for players- and student spectators, which recreation is to be earned by satisfactory class work. No conces- sions as to marks are made to athletes,inor is his course any easier than that of the humblest Mrooterl' of us all. U ' lYhen one considers that there is but one course open to students at Holy Cross, and that course a difficult one, including six hours of Latin and live of Greek per week in Freshman and Sophomore, six hours each of Physics and Philosophy in junior, and eleven hours per week of Philosophy in Senior, it immediately becomes evident that the life of the athlete at Holy Cross is no bed of thistledown. P Despite this fact, however, out-door sport has thrived wonderfully on the Hill. Ou. baseball prowess is prov'erbial. Considering the size of our student body the football record of the College is surprising. ln track our one time glory has faded, it is true, but there was a revival of interest this year which promises well for the future. Other colleges may equal us in victories. but where is the school of less than five hun- dred pupils, all taking twenty-five hours a week of brain-exercising classics and science, which presents such high ideal of purity in athletics, and such a record on the field? i In the matter of honesty. of using only bona ide scholars, and of making these scholars remain scholars after they become althletes, no college surpasses Holy Cross and few equal her. Honesty and a love of fair play are pre eminent also on the field in the heart of the contest. There is little grumbling at the referee or umpire by players or students in the THE PURPLE PATCHER 151 grand-stand. Few ugly disputes with our guests or hosts, as the case may be, have marred our popularity. In speaking of athletics one must not forget the man who does not play. Behind the grand-stand screen there is many a strong' body and ardent spirit yearning to be in the thick of the iight who caimot participate: many a yo uth, too, whose devotion to the team is the more unselhsh because some requirement of weight, strength or physical condition keeps him oil the held. These and others without the time or ability to play themselves, come to the games. give their linancial support and their encouragement. 'lihese men make athletics possible and keep it active. For these does the team play and with these rejoice when victory is won. And Holy Cross produces her own type of spectator. lle is enthusiastic, strong-lunged, devoted and philosophical, and his antics are not the least of the attractions at a baseball or football contest.

Baseball is more firmly established and our reputation for continued victories has attracted baseball players for many years, while in football a standard for general excellence has yet to be achieved. Although we have had teams worthier of more than ordinary recognition, still we cannot point to continuous suc- cesses, such as with our proud record in baseball. Progress has been made in the four past years, at home and abroad: at home through the very wise step of allowing only strictly college men to represent the college, by the adoption of the graduate system of coaching, which brings into play feelings more of tilial devotion than of finance: abroad, through the transformation of the game from a test of mere physical weight and strength, to a game where speedy and light men have more chance of successful competi- tion. Formerly a test of physical endurance in which weight and numerous substitutes played a prominent part, it is now a game in which the smaller colleges may develop strong teams, freed from the overwhelming assaults of the heavy men of the larger collegesg again the universal bugbear of the minor college is done away with, namely, the lack of capable substitutes. Wfhere heavy men are not available light men with speed and stamina are common. Lack of capable substitutes has cost Holy Cross many a hard-fought game, and will cost us victories in the future, until we better our standing and attract more of the star athletes of 154 THE PURPLE PATCHER our own faith, who at present flock to the larger institutions. VVhen we gain their attention and enrollment we can look for an equal rating with our baseball brothers. Wfith the wide, sweeping changes in the character of the game, heavy men are not so essential and the typical minor college team, a fast, light team, comes into prominence. Here is the opening for our future teams. Let our alumni support our football teams, as they do our baseball teams, and we will quickly attain the standing so earnestly desired. Our teams for the past few years have accomplished many things to be proud of. In IQO6, under the cap- taincy of Doc Connor and the tutelage of King '03, we finished the season with a very cred- itable showing. Five of the members of that team later shone as stars at other colleges, which fact was the primary cause of the poor record fof the 1907 team. Our team in IQO6 showed its mettle in the Cornell game, leading 6 to 5 until the fresh men of the Cornell squad beat down our exhausted team, suffering fro1n a dearth of substitutes, in the last five minutes of play. lVe easily defeated Fordham, our dearest rival, and stood high in the ranking of the minor col- leges at the season's close. The 1907 season, though disappointing in respect to victories, nevertheless demonstrated one fact, namely, that the Holy Cross student of that year stood behind his team, winning or losing, more especially in the latter case. The solid student body cheered, sang and support- ed the team in the Fordham game, which was played in a driving rainstorm, through two peri- ods of play, even though we were sustaining a bad defeat.

VVe administered defeats to our closest rivals, gave Yale a stubborn Hgh t, keeping the Blue on the defensive for some time, and scored on Dartmouth through a series of forward passes, splendidly planned and ex- ecuted. In fact our forward passing was a feature of the season's play, for we were almost perfect in its use, seldom failing to make substantial gains by its efficiency. Much of this perfection must be credited to the indefatigable work of Timm Larkin, and to the accuracy and cool- ness of Hiker Joy. This team aided wonderfully in advancing Holy Cross football to a stand- ing comparable with her baseball supremacy. Coach Larkin and Captain Sweeney faced a difficult proposition at the start of the 1909 season, in consequence of the loss of several stars of the 1908 team, and again because of the small number of candidates. The team, as it was finally chosen, was composed in the main of men new to collegiate athletics. The team com- menced the season well by trouncing Norwich University and New Hampshire State by round scores. At Yale' the team made a remarkable showing, holding the strong Blue team to a I2 to 0 score, with no score in second half, the best showing a Purple team ever made against the Blue. Daly distinguished himself in this game by his wonderful punting. several times pre- venting scores by driving out long punts from be hind our goal line. Against Trinity the team played a loose game, tieing at 5-5. The eleven showed the effects of the hard Yale game. A grand uphill fight was witnessed in the Bowdoin game, seemingly in many instances againSlZ THE PURPLE PATCHER 157 too heavy odds. It was in this game, trying for any leader, that Captain Sweeney especially distinguished himself by his coolness and self-c ontrol, with everything going against him. Scheid, despite a severe injury, displayed grand offensive qualities, time after time piercing the Bowdoin defense for substantial, sorely-needed gains. In the Dartmouth game, handicapped by the absences of several regulars, the team held our opponents to a I2-o score, again no score in the second half. An impregnable defense was shown, the line holding for downs thrice with- in ten yards and twice within five-yard line. It was at this juncture that the incapacitation of Captain Sweeney occurred, and his ab- sence was sorely felt in the remaining games, for his experience and superior qualities were of great moment in a close contest. In the Fordham game we sprang a surprise by scoring a touch down after hve minutes of play and only losing on a Huke touchdown, after injuries had forced the retirement of such capable men as Scheid and Dunn. The Tech game saw a Holy Cross team playing in the worst of luck, losing long runs by Jones and possible touchdowns by severe penalties. A feature of the whole season was the brilliant defensive work and frequent long runs of jiggy jones and the stonewall defense of Leo Finn. Again numerous injuries, coupled with the lack of a strong second team and capable substitutes handicapped the team's development. XYith the great changes in the football code, favoring light, fast teams, we can look for- ward to a successful team for next year. isa THE PURPLE PATCHER Basketball in General This branch of athletics, while not considered so important as baseball or football, yet furnishes for the student and spectator a fund of excitement and pleasure. From the sound of the referees whistle until the last signal is given. the game is pregnant with excitement. NVhile it is asserted that individuality has characterized our teams, yet a close study of the players while in action disproves this. The right man in the right place' seems to be the happy maxim of our men, and if it happens to be the same man frequently, then the opinion, of less vigilant onlookers is formulated-''lndividualityf' True, such stars as Spring, Stevens and others far outdistance their colleagues and opponents, but the work of the others must not be slighted. Holy Cross has always been near the topmost rung in the ladder of excellence at basketball, even teams of the big four falling easy victims ,to our prowess. This game, more than all others. brings out the spirit of m anliness and fair play among the players, and in this respect our teams excel. For the past nine years, with the exception of 1907 and 1910, Holy Cross has been represented by a quintet on the basketball court, and each and every team gloriously upheld the reputation and success of its predecessor. Nineteen hundred and seven saw the beginning of class basketball, and many and ex- citing were the contests furnished for the delectation of student and faculty. ln IQO8 collegiate basketball was given another trial and proved successful, both financially and in the number of games won. ln 1909, 'under the leadership of Captain Casey, our team made a very good show- ing in the basketball world: financially, however, the team was a failure and it was decided by the unanimous consent of the advisory board that basketball as an inter-collegiate sport be dropped. This move paved the way to class basketball, and the result has satisfied both the student body at large and the faculty. Wie feel certain that if ever college basketball is at- tempted again at Holy Cross, no dearth of material will not be found, as every class has at least one star. SEASON OF 1910. It was deemed advisable in our last year to discontinue basketball as an intercollegiate sport and to inaugarate once more class basketball series. That the latter was a success can be well attested by the closeness of the scores and the great enthusiasm exhibited at every game. The Freshman class, as usual, furnished the surprise, and their remarkable playing THE PURPLE PATCHER 159 would do justice to a representative college team. But to the Senior team the laurels were awarded, and they were justly earned. Composed of such stars as Daly, Casey, Fleming. NValsh, Flanigan and Coyle, the team vanquished all its rivals, and its success is all the more meritorious from the fact that the team lost several line players through athletic restrictions. Under the leadership of Captain Daly the work of the team was noticeably machine-like and smooth. The passing and accuracy of shooting in the more important games was little short of phenomenal. The real test of the series came when the Freshmen were tied with us for the leadership. Through our friends, the juniors, this state of affairs was made possible. The juniors, at first considered but a mediocre team, towards the close of the series developed in whirlwind style and were feared by Freshmen and Seniors alike. They unexpectedly beat the Freshies, thus giving the Seniors one more chance for the prize. There was not a single doubt as to the superiority of the Seniors in the final contest, they simplv outclassed their opponents. It would be almost impossible to describe the scene when Fleming and his classmates scored basket after basket. Pierce was the shining light of the eveningg he seemed to be everywhere and to shoot at almost impossible angles. Financially and in every way the series was a suc- cess and furnished enjoyment and excitement to every student in the house. And it is the con- censns of opinion that class basketball, from this year's success, has received impetus and en- couragement powerful enough toiensure its maintenance for years to come. li 'Wig 1' Bl 169 THE PURPLE PATCHER Track Track athletics, which ten or twelve years ago Hourished on Mount St. James, seemed to decline with each ensuing year until, it came to the time when four 'or live men would con- stitute our varsity squad. Such a deplorable state of affairs can be attributed to two principal causes, lack of interest displayed in track by supporters of our other branches ofathletics, and to the lukewarm support of the student body. So men naturally preferred to devote their at- tention to other and more popular lines of endeavor. XVhat our future managers must try to ac- complish is to awaken both the interest of the people at large and the studentbody in particular in this branch of athletics. Again they must seek to attract material for track, as is the case at other colleges and in other lines of sport. Until we gain the attention of such men as are breaking records in other colleges and who should be at Holy Crosspwe must suffer from inferiority, for no matter how hard a coach may work, and how capable he may be, unless he has some foundation to build on, 'his best results must fall far short of the high standard of collegiate competition. The clay of a one man team has vanished: second and third men are just as essen- tial as the winners of races in the counting of points for the championshipg many a meet has depended for its outcome upon the winning of one point. Therefore let our future managers, bearing these truths in mind, seek their fulfillment. Then we may expect championships. THE PURPLE PATCHER 161 SEASON 1906-1907. Examinations played sad havoc with the track squad, many promising point-winners be- ing disqualified for the season. The relay team was just beaten by the men from M. l. T.. but later retaliated by scoring a clever win over Trinity at Hartford, establishing a new track record which is still unbroken. lt was deemed advisable because of lack of material to aban- don track athletics for the rest of the season. SEASON 1907-1908. Our season opened anspiciously with an easy victory for our relay team, composed of Foley, Jones, Maynes and Cogswell, over Boston College at the lioston meet. Maynes won the 40-yard dash and Shay made the fastest time of the evening in his heat. lin the Hart- ford meet our men took third place and only lost second by the questionable disqualification of Jones in the mile, after he had won the event fairly and clearly in the opinion of thc major- ity of the spectators. XYQ competed against the fast teams of Amherst, Tufts and XYesleyan and our showing was highly commendable, since we clearly merited second place. The team was disbanded after this meet, as Captain Foley and several of his team were' obliged to re- port for baseball practice. SEASON 1908-1909. The season began with a victory over Boston College at the Boston meet. The team. composed of lXfcKenna, Maynes, Cogswell and Jones, ran a heady race, outclassing their oppo- 162 THE PURPLE PATCHER nents individually and as a team. Dan Mahoney won his heat in the 40-yard dash, but was not permitted to compete in the finals, due to a mistake on the part of the officials. The team made an excellent showing at the Hartford meet, the relay team easily beating Trinity, Tufts and XYesleyan. Dan Mahoney broke the track record in the 40-yard dash. Jones again won the mile and Daly took third place. At the Emmet Guard's meet our relay team beat Wforcester Tech and Daly won the half mile. At the Fordham meet, against the relay teams of Georgetown and Fordham, our relay finished second to Fordham. Jones, our last runner, lost his shoe, but made a plucky try for the win despite his handicap. McKenna took third in the 70-yard dash. Wie were elected a member of the New England Intercollegiate Athletic Association and entered in the Brookline meet, but failed to qualify. SEASON 1909-1910. . ' The beginning of a new epoch was marked in the season IQCQ-IQIO. Great efforts were made to awaken the interest of the students in the sport and also to bring out and develop dormant material. Under the supervision of an energetic manager and an enthusiastic cap- tain such a result was but natural. An inter-class meet was held, which was highly success- ful and its effect and that iof succeeding cross-country runs was apparent in the large number of candidates who answered the call of the coach.

Only a glimpse into the past is needed to substantiate this statement. Open the pages of Holy Cross baseball history and what do we see? The names of Carney, Coakley, O'Drain and Mansfield, who pitched the quality of ball that put to rout the lofty aspirations of old Eli and fair Harvard. As catchers, Noonan, Powers, Carrigan and Larkin form a quar- tet whose work not only graced the college diamonds but also the fields of the big leagues. On turning over the pages we come to a chapter of infielders. Perhaps no college in the country can boast of such stars. Conspicuous among them are Stankard, Dyer, Quigley, Barry, Flynn, Cashen and Carney. To record the outfielders of rare and exceptional ability would be to present a list which would resemble an index to a voluminous work. For an exam- ple the names of Hoey and Cahill will suffice to show what fleet-footed fielders and batsmen played the outfield in the past for old Holy Cross. Contrast the present with the past and we find that the Purple Banner still stands spon- sor for the best on the college baseball diamond. The heroes of the past are bedimmed in obscurity before the brilliancy which radiates from the phenomenal playing of our present day stars. The work of Sweeney behind the bat is of the highest order,-his accurate and speedy throwing being especially relished by the baseball fan. Spillane and Gans are two noble as- THE PURPLE PATCHER 167 sistants to the catching corps. In the pitching department Holy Cross was never stronger. For three years Dowd has humbled the big four and has blossomed forth into one of the headiest pitchers Mt. St. James has ever produced. Foley, too, has been a top-notcher and a splendid general in deceiving batsmen. lt was not until junior year that slim Mahoney entered Holy Cross, but at once he jumped in to the limelight and became one of our most re- liable pitchers. Very rarely have South Paws been on our teams in the past, but today we claim one in the person of Regan whose future looks bright and who no doubt in a few years will be the star of the college world. Our infield can be called Stonewall -in vain has it been bombarded by opposing forces. At first base Ed Flynn has not only style but also an air of certainty in all his movements. Second base is well protected by Captain Jones. The work of Danny Mahoney has been a treat and countless of his plays appeared to be shroud- ed with magic. ln Cawley, Holy Cross has the fastest third baseman seen on Fitton Field. His speed and accuracy are of the tip-top order. For outnelders we have a natural batter in liurns, while Seheid, XYhalen. Craig and Kennedy have performed like old-timers. Perhaps it will not be amiss to say a few words about what Nineteen Ten has contrib- uted to our baseball teams. The name of jack', Barry shines out luminously,-today he has earned a reputation as the cleverest shortstop in the country. Cahill will always be referred to as a model of a first-class college fielder. Never shall we forget the steady pitching of llenry O'Hern, whose cleverness brought us home many a glorious victory. Another pitcher whom our class produced was McMahon, a man of exceptional ability. Orchards withdrawal from 1910 BASEBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 169 school removed one of the hardest hitters who earned the coveted ll All these men who have been enumerated have left college, so that only a word is necessary to recall their past achievements. The men of our class who are toiling today for the Purple's supremacy need no eulogy, their work speaks for themselves. Only their departure from the team will show the true value of Flynn's timely swats, Sweeney's classy backstop work and pinch hitting, that has won so many games even in Freshman, when he was recognized as the youngest and one of the best catchers in college ball, 5cheid's He et fielding and Eddie Brennan's line work in right garden. The great work of our pitchers is what will be especially missed. lYill Holy Cross ever boast of another Dowd? lt is IQIO'S fond wish that she will. Foley has also shown great skill as well as jim Mahoney, whose efforts have always been rewarded with a grand series of successes. Nineteen ten has indeed done her share to propagate the fair name of Holy Cross in baseball and to place her foremost among the college teams. BASEBALL SEASON 1910. The season of IQIO started off with many changes. Dr. P. Carney, who piloted Holy Cross teams through four years of unprecedented prosperity. handed over the care of the ship to Wfilliam Dyer. The task of moulding a successful team was a difficult one as several posi- tions had to be filled by new men. By skilful baseball judgment and untiring efforts our new coach mastered the situation and sent a team South which came home with three victories and two closely contested defeats. At the outset the team was handicapped by the injury to the 179 THE PURPLE PATCHER veteran battery, Dowd and Sweeney. 1 Joe Foley and Bert Spillane, however, developed into a winning combination and made the scouts of the big leagues Hock to Wforcester. Cornell opened the season in Worcester, April 19, before one of the largest holiday crowds that ever graced the stands and terraces of Fitton Field. Through the superb pitching of Joe Foley, Cornell suffered a 9-1 defeat. ' '- Harvard was the next great rival and although victory was not ours the game of our boys and the work of Foley deserved a better fate. Only four days later Harvard appeared on Fitton Field but with different luck from that which was hers but a few days before at Cambridge. The playing of Danny Mahoney was a source of great joy to the Holy Cross enthusiast, and the steadiness of the whole team made our 2-1 victory possible. Yale came to VVorcester Saturday, May 21, and played us a 5-5 tie game. Jim Maho- ney made his debut against the big ones and pitched the article of ball that made the name of Coakley famous. VVith our big rival Fordham we broke even. The game at Vlforcester, replete with sen- sational plays, was a 4-2 victory for the Mt. St. James boys. At New York we suffered a 1-o defeat, although we played winning ball. - The season as a whole has been a grand success and with the nucleus of the team made up of undergraduates the prospects for next season are auspicious for a brilliant and unequalled record in Holy Cross baseball annals. THE PURPLE PATCHER 171 Class Athletics The class of 1910 has a record in class athletics to be proud of. Inaugurating our advent at Holy Cross with the best Freshman football team the College has ever had, the class has had a steady string of victories, adding more and more glory to the conquering splendor of our name. In the class basketball series of Freshman year our representatives linished second, losing but two games, although contending with varsity men on our opponents' teams-a distinction indeed for our team. Our baseball' team was very strong and boasted of an unblemished record. Our football team in Sophomore was again successful and undefeated, while in baseball we were consistently victorious. although our record was not as bright as in Freshman, due to varsity drafting. No basketball series was held, be it said to our sorrow. In Junior after beating the Freshmen in football we lost to the Seniors, who used some varsity men against us and even then a varsity h alfback scored the only touch down. Cnr team was weakened by the accession of such men as Daly, Sweeney and Finn to the varsity ranks, and also by the loss of Jack Barry. In baseball we revenged ourselves on the Seniors in that mem- orable 3-2 twelve-inning contest. CLASS FOOTBALL TEAM THE PURPLE PATCHER 173 SEASON OF 1909-10. Now we come to our Senior year, when the class especially desired to make a good show- ing, a fitting adieu to our rivals in the undergraduate body. Our wish was fulfilled. In football, though numerous challenges were issued, we failed to win opposition. Our nrowess and expe- rience seemed to have an intimidating effect on the other classes, making them chary of disput- ing our supremacy. Our representatives were the runners-up in the fall tennis tournament and we confidently expect a victory in the spring set-to. Although but two Seniors scored in the in- ter-class meet, we must advance the defense that many of our track men were barred, because of possessing the college letters. Nevertheless we captured twelve points. In basketball we vindi- cated our Freshman record, by capturing the championship honors, again demonstrating our excel- lence. Because of the intense interest the series created, and the closeness of the contest, we may be pardoned for going a little into detail. The team, composed of Captain Daly, Wfalsh, Casey, Flanigan, Fleming and Coyle, was three games behind the leaders, the Freshmen, with but three more games to play, but by beating the Freshmen and winning our other two games, while the Freshmen dropped two, we drew up on even terms, and in the playoff of the tie we easily defeated the overrated Freshmen I6-o. Our team exhibited dazzling speed and grand team work to the utter bewilderment of the aspiring juveniles. Captain Daly was conspicuous for his clever defensive work, always totaling more baskets than the forward he was guarding. Walsh played well at center, shot quickly and accurately and contributed much to the hnal out- come by his clever team work. Casey besides coaching the team, welded the team into one har- monious machine by his presence on the Hoor, and together with Flanigan invariably shattered any offensive team play on the part of opponents. Fleming saved the day for the Seniors and made a tie possible by scoring the deciding basket in our most important game. His shooting while on the dead run, was excellent and disheartened our opponents, who were not as speedy as he. Coyle, last but not least, was a steady, consistent player, and it was a joy forever to watch him taking the ball away from men of much greater size, and then unerringly pass it to the watch- ful Flanigan for the basket. In baseball we were uniformly successful, thus terminating a four years' record as embryonic,athletes, a record we believe that will stand the test of time. 1910 CLASS BASKETBALL TEAM N ,lam . 'fi I in THE PURPLE PATQHER Tennis Tennis while still in a budding condition at Holy Cross, has decidedly advanced during the past year. Coincident with the election of new officers for the year IQOQ-IQIO, and the advent of our new Moderator, plans were at once drawn up which aimed at making the ensuing year Xa memorable success, and furnishing a model for the emulation of future officers. Arrangements were completed for a fall and spring tournament, both of which were carried to a successful conclusion. The fall tournament was marked by brilliant playing, and was finally won 'by the Junior team, Messrs. Junker and Donohue, who defeated the Senior entry, Messrs. Walsh and Conroy, after a spirited contest. The spring tournament aroused great enthusiasm and was char- acterized by much closer contests than the preceding tournament. The college champions were disposed of early in the contest and the semifinal round saw four closely matched teams. The tournament was finally won by the Freshman pair, Paul Murphy and Percy Desnoes. Communications and challenges were received from several acceptable college teams, but to our regret we were unable to accept, since tennis has not as yet acquired varsity recognition at Holy Cross, but with the promising material at p resent in the College, we trust such recognition will be attained in the near future. Wfith the excellent courts at our disposal, and the large stu- dent membership to draw from, we believe this fascinating sport will soon boast of Holy Cross varsity representatives. THE PURPLE PATCHER 177 The College Orchestra To stay in the orchestra any length of time one must have a heart of steel, besides some musical qualifications. For it is every student's right and duty to hammer the orchestra unmer- cifully whenever it obtrudes itself on public notice. Nevertheless this organization has struggled on through thick and thin, patiently grinding out overtures for entertainments, and barn-dances for soirees until it has hnally forced a few reluctant but eminently sincere words of praise from the student-body. Most of the credit is to be given to the able direction and unselhsh work of Mr. Arthur S. Hart, S. I., and of Carl A. Ducharme '11, They have, during the past two years increased notably the efficiency of the orchestra and raised the musical taste of the entire school. HOLY CROSS ORCHESTRA MR. ARTHUR S. HART, S.

Mr. Arthur S. Hart, S. J., who became Moderator, gave an impetus to the Glee Club which, in the first year of his leadership showed fairly good results, and reached a much higher state of perfection during the past year. Wie note with pride that the club has ever before it a high standard of music, as anyone might see in glancing over the well-arranged programs of the entertainments to which we have been treated. VVe print here the entire list, the Thanksgiving Musicale rendered on the even- ing of Nov. 21, the Shrovetide Musicale on Feb. 8, and the Concert given in honor of Rev. Father Hanselman on 'the feast of the patronage of St. Joseph. At these concerts, solos were rendered by members possessing remarkably fine voices, especially Mr. John NV. Finnerty and Mr. John Smith. The vocal quartette, composed of four Seniors, Messrs. M. B. McNulty, F. NV. Walsh, W. J. Q'Keefe and VV.

Perhaps no other occasion so peculiarly a class function, has such a distinct and, salutary effect upon class and College life, bringing, as it does., faculty and students into a closer union and sympathy than any other occasion of the year. Differences are then forgiven and forgotten, and a new era of comradeship and lll'CC11SlHCd class soirit is developed. Harmony and good-fellowship, the keynote of such gatherings, foster feelings of mutual dependence of teacher and student. It is then our minds and hearts are opened, and an insight into the thoughts, feelings, ambitions and duties of both students and faculty are more clearly obtained. That undefinable College spirit, the true feelin g of every loyal son of Holy Cross is more deep- ly engraven in our hearts, love and loyalty to Alma Mater, and to classmates, is ingrained in our every fllDI'C. Under the subtle inHuence and inspiration of such scenes and surroundings, the tents of care are uplifted from the mind, and the Worries, like Arabs, silently steal away.

NYhat a wealth of inspiration and happy recollections springs up with this magic word. lnstantaneously we are transferred to Fenwick Hall. Fairy music greets our ears, the various costumes of the under-classmen present a fairy land, while the cap and gown of Senior give a touch of seriousness and dignity to the whole assemblage. Upon the platform we behold the Alumni of different walks of life take up the spirit of the occasion, andn at the same time portray with vividness the numerous pebble stones we have to remove from the path which leads to the held of success. H ere we hear the slogan, Dont quit, which will surely ring within the true Holy Cross man's breast when promises prove not true, and pros- pects look not bright. ' Each succeeding year has given something new to the celebration. The babe of eight years ago, with its swaddling clothes has matured to a robust child of splendid dress and orna- mental equipment. This year was one of wonderful growth and novelty. The novelty con- sisted in a general invitation to the Alumni to be present, not only at the exercises, but also to make a personal inspection of teacher with his students in the class room. Many came, saw, but were conquered. Their senses were staggered b y the new vision of Mt. St. James that met their gaze. The tone of simpleness and infancy that held sway but a few years ago had succumbed to an air of maturity and greatness. They hardly realized that the Holy Cross of yesterday, 186 THE PURPLE PATCHER with its quaint equipment, could develop into the Holy Cross of today with all its modern buildings and conveniences. Each student co-operated with the faculty for the comforts of guests. That their efforts were crowned with success was demonstrated by the good cheer and flood of true Holy Cross spirit that reigned in the refectory during the repast. How the einen that preceded us longed to be students once more! Yes, and how many of the studeiits wished for success in the future which has knocked at the door of their elders. So the wishing was mutual. This reciprocity had its latent ben efitsg it made the student hold up his Alumni as his model, and it made the Alumni rejoice at being the product of such a worthy Alma Mater. I May the seeds that these Holy Cross nights are sowing, blossom forth into rich and mel- low fruit. The soil they have fallen upon is fertile. All that will be required for their rapid growth is diligence and care. The Holy Cross man has ever been known for these sterling qualifications which are a prevention against a poor crop. The outlook for still greater Holy Cross nights is encouraging. May they serve as a fountain wherein we, at that time Alumni, may come back and partake of its motherly intl uence. XVith a fond hope that the succeeding classes will follow in the footsteps of 1910 in pre serving and cherishing this night, we rest as- sured that the Holy Cross of tomorrow, the Holy Cross night of the future. and the Holy Cross spirit of the embryonic Alumni will be as lofty as the peaks of the Himalayas. May also the future Chief Marshals meet with the unprecedented success that crowned the efforts of Nine- teen Ten's Chief Marshal, Timothy O'Brien of Manchester, N. H.

One hundred and thirty-five strong, the Freshies filed into their various class rooms on the opening day. Xlfithout a doubt this was the largest class ever matriculated at Holy Cross. It was on the eve of the first great football game, that the Freshies showed their power and spirit, which has been throughout the entire course the dominant feature of the class. Bull Conneryu 'of prep fame, was chosen leader of the class, a task for which'he was admirably fitted and which he heroically carried out. Through his valiant efforts sectional spirit was curbed to some extent, and peace and harmony towards the closing days of their first year reigned su- preme. Our class furnished the nucleus of every athletic team in the college, furnishing, such stars as Barry, llfcfrohan, and others too numerous to mention. In class games we far outdis- tanced our rivals, and our prowess became the by-word of the upper class men. Holy Cross Night served to bring out every ounce of spirit latent in the class, and it was the consensus of opinion of those present, that for grotesqueness of costume, and magnitude of spirit our class held the palm. The mid years depleted our ranks to some extent, but their places were al- most immediately filled by new comers, who had heard of our fame. VVith the grand class of ,O7 we divided the honors for popularity during our First year, an honor, since their departure,f we have held alone. SOPHO MORE. Not so strong in numbers, but every bit as powerful in spirit, we returned for our second year. Friendships of the foriner year were renewed, and the sectional spirit of our first year gave way to unity and co-operation. Death had called some of our most popular classmates, and new fields of instruction and endeavor claimed others. Gradually the men came to know each other, and to cement friendships that neither time nor tide could dissolve. Jack Barry had been chosen the leader of our baseball team, and we were just as strong as ever in other branches of sport. Experiences of our Freshman year stood us in good stead when the mid- year's rolled around, and the hungry dollars found their way to down town restaurants, rather than to the college treasury. At the close of this year the class was shocked and saddened by the announcement of our beloved president, Bull Connery, that he was to leave us for other fields, and it was with many regrets that we saw him depart, never to see his Smiling face, as pre- XXYZT. THE PURPLE PATCHER 1w siding officer over our college destinies. Qur strenuous efforts with Cicero and Oedipus ad- mirably fitted us for the ardent task of philosophers-to-be, as we departed from the hill of pleas- ant springs on our second vacationgdetermined to return once more to drink from the fountain of knowledge, and fill the largest Junior class room ever registered at Holy Cross. JUNIOR. Trunks, valises, grab-boxes and other baggage were unloaded, and the class of 'IO were back again, ready to brave the intricate difficulties of logic. The Sem. had claimed several of our class at the close of Sophomore, but as usual new faces appeared to counterbalance, in part, our losses. The study of Italian was introduced into our class this year, and even the mighty Dante could not have distinguished Sancta Crux from Rome, and we are certain that if we chanced upon him in any of the circles of inferno we co-uld easily hold converse with him in his mother tongue. Swelled with our importance as prospective Seniors, we so far forgot our- selves as to very nearly wrest debating honors from our elder brothers. The oratorical con- test was ably won by a new recruit to our class, and our older members also held up the pres- tige of the class. Ed Callan, was chosen president to succeed our Bull, but the ardent duties of the office proved too much for his general health, so at Easter time he was forced to give up the reins of governments to Bunny Scanlon, his able vice-president. Qur class ban- quet of this year furnished many surprises in the way of oratorical and after-dinner speeches, and it was the opinion of Er. Rector and our honorable guests, that IQIO had increased in knowledge and grace since their Freshman year. and that when 1910 was ushered into the world, their power for good would be instantly and permanently felt. SENIOR. Sixty-seven out of our original one hundred and thirty-five returned in the Senior year. Lawrence E. O'Toole was elected president. O n Holy Cross Night we first wore the cap and gown, and frowned down on the gaudy raiment of the under class men. At the fall inter-class meet the Seniors captured only twelve points. as varsity men were ineligible. In football the work of Captain Sweeney, Acting Captain Sch eid, Daly and Finn was of high order. During the month of January we met and conquered several exams. including physiological psychol- ogy, the bugbear of all preceding classes. The Seniors won the inter-class basketball series. Our contributions to the varsity baseball team were Foley, one of the best twirlers the .lfurple ever had, Mahoney, who twice held Yale to a tie score, Eddie Flynn and Scheid.

TI-IE PURPLE PATCHER The Powers That Be THE PURPLE PATCHER 195 A Little Philosophy Concerning Apple Sauce Several questions may be asked about apple sauce a la lloly Cross. First, Does it con- tain apples? Second, If so, in what manner? Third, How is the liquid consistency of apple sauce a la Holy Cross, to be explained. The answers to these questions may be grouped un- der three general systems, Nominalism, Extreme Realism and Moderate Realism. The Nominalists as Callan, Murphy the Saracen, Hume, and Heney Burke, hold that apple sauce a la Holy Cross contains apples neither actually, potentially nor virtually, but that various components are grouped together under the 'conventional name apple-sauce. The Extreme Realists, among them McNulty, Staunton, Scotns Erigena and Triste Lig- num, hold that apple sauce is educed directly and immediately from the potency of the apples. This theory is not in full accord with the liquid consistency of apple sauce. Its defenders how- ever, answer this objection by saying that the apples from which apple sauce a la Holy Cross is evolved are particularly juicy, being grown on the Hill of Pleasant Springs. This explanation, however, does not hold water. The third and true opinion is the opinion of all the great scholastics as Lawlor, Rigali, O'Keefe and Professor James, and it is also our doctrine. XYith the Nominalists we agree that apple sauce is not educed directly and immidiately from the potency of the apples, and with the Extreme Realists we hold that it really contains apples. ln opposition to Extreme Realism we hold that it is not directly and per se from apples. but indirectly and per accidens. The funda- mental error of both Extreme Realism and Nominalism, as pointed out by Conrodie Quirbach, is in the supposition that the apples have the same mode of existence in the sauce, as on the tree. The Extreme Realists say that apples on the tree are solid with the solidity of formal or entative specification, and that, therefore, the liquid consistency of the apples in sauce does not enter as an essential note, but merely as an extrinsic accidental form. The Xominalists, on the other hand, say :- Apples in arbore,' are solid. But apple sauce is liquid. There- fore- Conrodie, seeing this error, formulated the principle,- Alius est modus cohaerendi quo mala in se cohaerunt, et alius est modus lluendi quo 'apple sauce' Hint . This means that if the apples in arbore by some species of connection with the sense organs of a rational ani- mal, at least in cases of acutus humanus, arouse a sensible impressed species. thereby pro- ducing a phantasm wliereon the iutellectus agens may work, the resultant transcendental no- -196 THE PURPLE PATCHER tion elicited by the human supposite is different from the transcendential notion produced in a like manner by apple sauce, not with a difference of substantial opposition, but only with a difference of accidental variation. Our theory, in brief is, apple sauce is frvom apples, not immediately or per se, but through the medium of apple pie. The liquid consistency is readily explained by the supposition that it was originally meant to be taken through a straw, and although the custom of eating it through a straw has died out, the liquidity remains. Wlith our position thus defined we say 1- l. Apple sauce does not entirely lack connection with apples.A Proof I. From the common consent of mankind at all times, the name Apple Sauce has been an implicit admission of the presence of apples. 2. Apple sauce either has connec- tion with apples or it has not. But it is absurd to say it has not. Q Therefore. Major is evident. The disjunction is complete. Minor evident from the fact that it is the opinion of Lawlor and the other Scholastics. Thesis Il. Apple sauce is not immediately and per se from apples. Probatur. The supposition of the Extreme Realists, that apple sauce is immediately and per se from apples, is false, if it cannot explain the liquid consistency of apple sauce. But de facto, it cannot explain this Ergo. Major is evident. Minor. Evident to everyone, even to Bill McMahon. Thesis IH. Apple sauce comes mediately from apples through the medium of apple pie. Proof. Wle saw in the first thesis that apple sauce is from apples. ln the second that it is not from apples immediately. Therefore. mediately. But the only way it could come medi- ately. is through apple pie. Therefore- . Nota Bene-As the subject is an extrem ely difficult one and requires much metaphysical abstraction, we do not claim to have attained certitude. n Form xl-9 oi- BOM- Mk.

'zo4 THE PURPLE PATCHER Clinton Clinton, a bustling city of from two thousand, Cforeign estimatej to one hundred thou- sand thome estimateb seems according to best traditional accounts to have been settled in the year of the big wind by an Irish adventurer named Burke Q'Toole. It is a peaceful little ham- let situated around Puck Hester. Its inhabitants are divided into two great classes, the O'Tooles and the Burkes, and these are in turn subdivided into those' who have gone to Holy Cross, those who are at present at Holy Cross, and those that intend to go to Holy Cross. Every morning the street cars are crowded with denizens of Duck Harbor and The Acre bound for the Hill of Pleasant Springs. Though it is extremely favored by its locality, being situated in the center of the surrounding country, it retains its own peculiar characteristics, and dialect. A stranger visiting Clinton for the hrst time, is astounded at being asked at the station if he needs an interpreter. But after being in town for a few minutes, he learns that an interpreter is a condicio sine qua non. For instance, he might go into a drug store and ask for a cigar, and be greeted by the following reply, Solid cheese, three times. I love every splinter in your mahogany top. Take it from me. I haven't got up the third teesisf' The characteristics of a son of Clinton are his absorbing passion for politics, his love of personal liberty, and good marks in his classes. It is related of one Clintonian that he did not get honors at Holy Cross, but the townspeople point to the fact that he was sick during six months of the scholastic year, and that he did not move to Clinton until he was ten years oldg but this is a sore point with the inhabitants of Little Ireland. The latest agitation in Clinton is for an elevated to South Wforcester, and some of Clintons most loyal sons confidently hope that it will be on the map in less than four hundred years. days THE PURPLE PATCHER 205 With Apologies to Solomon There are three things that turn the art eclitor's hair gray, yea four which shorten his The ubiquitous sleeve which blots his new sketchesg The curious Wight who wants to see the new cartoonsg The solemn one who takes himself too seriouslyg AND The intrusive individual who rejects other n1en's cartoons. '206 THE PURPLE PATCHER The Ideal Write-up A - A Suggestion for Future Patcher Editors. From the Editor's point of view: RUDOLPH McTIFFIN Podunk, N. J. Rat, Snake Most Horrible of Gooksf' Swell Head. Solid Mahogany. I thought I saw an albatross fluttering round a lamp. , , I looked again and saw it was a penny postage stamp. CCarrollj College Orchestra C4j. at The Most Honorable of Crooks is the most disliked man on the corridor. I-Ie has few redeeming qualities. He is as scriny as they make 'em and besides is an awful grind. VVe will be.heartily glad to graduate if for no other reason than to be rid of the Rat. VVe are beginning to feel sick so we will stop. From the Subject'sPoint of View. RUDY MCTIFFIN A Podunk. Rudo lph W'hat a work is man. tShakespearej. I Varsity Baseball QI, 2, 3, 47. Capt. 4433. Football QI, 2, 3, 419. Capt. f4j.

The English tongue, rich though it be, has no adjectives which will give an approximate idea of his bodily strength, brilliance of mind, and strength of character. The only way Rudolph can escape the presi- dential chair is by accepting' one of the numerous offers which he must surely get from cap- tains of industry, to manage their enterprises for them. VVe would give Rudolph our best wishes, if the very thought of his needing any encouragement or help were not so supremely ridic- ulous. Reluctantly, then, we pass to the next man.
