It is, therefore, something of a bond between the old and the new. lt carries over the old and ever-endur- ing spirit of Columbia which we of the class of 1927 will probably always associate with old East rather than with John Jay. It is the spirit that is mellow with tradition and the stories of the great horde of alumni who have gone before us, and who established the fame of Columbia which we have had the honor to carry on. '27 has witnessed profound changes in this great University It has watched the College beginning to emerge once more to its own after being unavoidably overshadowed by the rapid growth of the university as a whole. lt has seen many traditions relegated to the shelves of Columbiana when the change in the temper of the times declared them obsolete. And physically it has witnessed an amazing era of building construction. An era which has brought with it a new and interesting change in architecture, both in the University itself and in the city that surrounds it. We have tried, in these pages, to reflect these changes while mak- ing a faithful record of h Columbia College, anot er year of progress in the story of The 1927 Columbian Board. Efhlnmf O Nicholas Murray Butler, who, entering Columbia College in l878, has for half a century given his life with continuous and increasing devotion to his Alma Mater, distinguished educator, who has conceived and practiced learning in terms of man's necessities and man's dignity: loyal citizen, who has served his city, State and nation by never neglecting the ordi- nary duties of citizenship, and by always exalting its claim to the highest intelligent serviceg President of Columbia University since 19023 this book is dedi- cated in commemoration of the twenty-five years of his presidency, during which he has made Columbia known throughout the world, both as a seat of learn- ing and an instrument of international good-Will.

The opening of John Jay was, therefore, a very auspiciously timed event. Our appreciation of and respect for President Butler's great work we have expressed in the opening pages of this volume. Now we turn to Columbia's oldest undergraduate organization and her second oldest publication. The traditions of the college are many and go back for genera- tions and generations, but few have survived to our own day. Even we have witnessed the passing of more of them. Still, comparatively few students really know and appreciate just how great and splendid a background the college has. Most of them appreciate its age, and, in a hazy way, its past. Many efforts have been made to place the facts before them in the various campus periodicals: by means of the Columbiana Museum: and in the feature section of each COLUMBIAN. The traditions are necessarily intimately connected with the story of its Student Activities. They are reflected in the actions and writings of the men who have gone before us. To get a good picture of the good old times we have but to read the old secretary's books of Philolexian or the old copies of Spectator Better yet, we can spend a spare hour or two browsing about in the Columbiana room in the Library. We present in the following accounts a concentrated glance at the Columbia of the past, through the medium of the histories of two of the oldest organizations on the Campus. We hope they will serve to give Columbia men a clearer picture of their traditions. At the same time, COLUMBIAN extends its congratulations and best wishes to Philolexian and to Spectator on the occasion of their birthdays. The Editor. l 30 l WW I Qi, , WX 1 ,- ....,...,., e ' , - ' -.T RDS T' Philo Through the Ages BY JACQUES MARTIN BARZUN know that 1' fk ' the friendships established in the Club were perpetuated in a valuable correspondence, largely upon lit- ,Q',291',g?3' erary questions: and we may safely assume from the mere presence of so imposing a group of scholars in the Club that the meetings, particularly in the later years, provided frequent occasion for dis- cussion of the topics of uppermost interest to them. With the close of the century, however, the if bl' if Club began to sink into an aristocratic de- cadence, an offence to the memory of its greatest member, and of course an absolute check upon essentially literary activities, from any point of view what- soever. ' This sentence from Professor Harrison Ross Steeves' delightful monograph on Learned Societies does not refer, as might be rashly supposed, to the Philo- lexian Society of Columbia College. Its purpose is only remotely analogici and rather introductory, ornamental, or illustrative of the subtle art of quota- tion. Philolexian, as the mere sound of its name implies, was founded in 1802. It is therefore one of the three oldest college literary societies in America: that is to say the third oldest, being antedated by seven years by the Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies of the University of North Carolina, on the one hand, and the Philologian and Philotechnian of Williams College, on the other, both groups of twins having been born in 1795. However, as Shaw says, in a hundred years we shall all be of the same age: and, this being true of the past as well as of the future: and further, a rapid mental calculation assuring us that Philolexian is now exactly 125 years old: there is, therefore, more than circumstantial evidence to suppose that Philolexian is of the same age as the oldest literary society in America. This important historical point having been settled with some finality, it might be well to consider as briefly as possible the intellectual background, history, and development-if any has taken place-of this organization, whose continued existence through a century and a quarter is one of its strongest claims to fame: for it argues a flexibility of constitution and a liberality of l31l l'??5'i fEii' '?EEii'l 'lIll 'K '2 '1I lllillllll ls dll Q llllwtnll 2isilzlillllllinnu.ll 33 all , 41 , ,..

The first salient fact relative to Philolexian is that it superseded a society of the same type but with a membership limited exclusively to Juniors. The open door policy which Philo instituted then, and has since maintained, is probably an unpremeditated cause of the flexibilityinoted above. lndeed,.v1tal- ity was concomitant with adaptability, since Philo was instrumental inlthe organization of its only serious rival, Peithologian, in 1806: and has survived not only all other attempts at secession and dem- olition, but also its own moral and financial de- , l,,ii,,1,. Lpnn pressions. ln these respects it 1S somewhat like the British Empire: but analogies are tedious as well as explosive. T t .gang Among those competitive efforts, the Barnard Literary Association fl878j and the Debating Union Cl893j were the most powerful: but in the specific purposes for which they were founded .,-' L lay the specific weaknesses on which they finally foundered. All college societies until very recent times were organized with either or both of two objects in view: improvement in composition by means of reading and criticism of papers, and in oratory by means of speeches and debates. The societies were encouraged by the authorities as promoting those arts necessary to a gentleman's education, and they were paternally restricted by these same authorities, as requiring super- vision to check those rowdy habits which were then thought-at least by the undergraduate--equally a part of a gentleman's upbringing. The trustees embodied this precaution in their own inimitable way in a resolution dated July 9, 1821 : Resolved, That for the accommodations of the Philolexian and Peitho- logian societies, a suitable building be erected: and that the Committee of Repairs report to this Board a plan and estimate with the site thereof. ,H i ztfe 'M w 9' s l H 2 f' P ,ff we isa . , ':- ,az .lvfswzzzawlfff-1.,s - - 5 - 'Li H.

Owing to restrictions of every sort on student activity, including athletics, Philolexian constituted for many years,-until the removal of the. college to Madison Avenue and Forty-ninth Street in 1857,-the sole center of under- graduate social life. Together with literary discussions, oratorical fireworks, and forensic sword-play, the meetings of the society provided the friendship- starved students with necessary gregarious opportu- nities, permitting them also to engage in what a con- E'lmHU 'l mllmll'Mn'l ml -L temporary alumnus coyly termed other than merely iz vu v.-rx-xnxx .xxxu :mmm ..,.. 5 intellectual pursuits. .fm'un'?I Just fifty years ago, three rather important rol.n.mu:-rnu-u- 'S li events took place that influenced Philolexian.

Finally, that momentous year also saw fiilmiWUtlIHH1'llimm'4ys1i.z'1qmiqlqlgiigqqitfgl the decline of P2lIl'1OlOgl3I1, in spite of Nicholas Murray Butler's Herculean efforts to pulmotor a last spark of vitality into its varicose veins. Fourteen years before, a Peithologian commencement orator had boasted of the superior brilliancy of the younger organization in a piece of verse of which the key stanza runs as follows: Philolexia's eyes now tremble with spite Por her poor sun is dimmed by our star's dazzling light. She has found out at last, though it shines from afar Peithologia's orb was always a fixed star. And a glistening tear down her pallid cheek slips For her sun is suffering a solar eclipse. Aside from unorthodox astrophysics the verse reveals the interesting spirit of rivalry existing between the two societies, a spirit that Barnard was to help to promote, but which has now,-perhaps unfortunately,-ceased to exist. The next low water-mark in Philo's life occurred in l893g the reason for this listless- , ness has never been investigated. lt seems to have just come about, and it might just as easily have done away with the society altogether had it not been for the unselfish action of the then E 1 newly formed Hamilton Literary Association which offered to join forces with Philo, and I whose generous offer was gratefully accepted. Since then, the society has had a fairly even tenor of existence, marked by a greater and greater degree of informality in organization and function, as well as by the development of a strong interest in dramatics which has lasted until the present: the Hrst Philo Play having been given November 17th, 1910, and the sixteenth annual production having graced the boards not more than six monthskago. . E331 It is interesting, once the main historical pegs have been made secure, to glance at the various occupations which have engaged Philo's collective and individual attention. From the beginning, writing and speaking have been the two poles between which oscillation has been continual as well as erratic. It was the custom in early days to invite outsidetftspeakers, and this recreation, together with the oflicers' inaugural addresses, seems to have provided the high spots of entertainment. The last recorded inaugural dates from 1830. The quality of the oratory is indubitableg Cicero, Burke, or Webster could have hardly done better-without surpassing themselvesg but the quality of the 'thought is, to us, less apparent, perhaps because more rarefied and subtle. Not infrequently poems and essays were read, extempore speeches made, and debates staged. The latter became, as time went on, one of the most im- portant activities of the society and these, aided by the prize competitions which acted as incentives, helped to revive the interest in formal oratory. In the course of its perigrinations, Philolexian managed to accumulate a -library of about fifteen hundred or two thousand books. Each member was required, during his active membership, to contribute from 31.25 to 34.00 in books. At some time, not specified, this library was given to the Columbia library and merged by categories into the' great' mass of Volumes. Now and again one experiences the pleasant surprise of finding the old Philo Ex Libris in a dusty volume requested for a purely utilitarian purpose. But not content with beingthe quaint repository of old names, old books and old customs, Philo is also the first organization at Columbia to have pub- lished a periodical. The first, The Philolexian, can hardly be called a period- ical since it appeared for the first and last time on February 26, l8l3. It consisted of a single handwritten copy of a paper to be read before the So- ciety. It is Johnsonese in style, elevated in tone, and moral in purpose. It seeks, of course, to remedy the defects of the Society with a View to insuring its prosperity now and in future. The idea-germ of a periodical, found here, was taken up in December of the same year, when The Philolexian Observer was first issued. Twelve papers of homilies, criticisms, letters, admonition and reproof constitute its volume. All writers are anonymous, their style is uni- form, their subjects fascinating. Procrastination, Cuentlemanly Behavior, Dancing, and one avowedly humorous attempt called Ghost of the Philo- lexian, are among the most valuable contributions. as af bs- Many curious propositions have been debated in Philo during l25 years, and yet not strictly speaking by Philo, but by the U. S. Senate or the State Legislature, into which the society solemnly resolved itself. Books and medals were awarded at first to exceptional speakers, but, in 1884, Henry N. Mills and Robert M. Bull, two alumni, donated S250 annually for five years to be expended in prizes for the first and second best orations delivered. This dona- tion is especially interesting in view of one of the donors' antecedents. Vyfhile in the society Mr. Mills was one of its outstanding speakers. The record states that 'ihe delivered an oration regularly, a most apt and precise phrase, since it appears that it was always the same oration, Spartacus As the minutes once put it, Mr. Mills then delivered 'Spartacus' in his best style. l The Society's Hrst debate was held when it was twelve years old. Its subject is indeed great enough for such a youngster to discuss: Would it be expedient to extend the benefits of a liberal education to the female sex? For the sake of our Philolexian ancestors' memory, the benefit of the doubt should pc-gtgranted them as to their final decision on that question: no record of it is e . E341 It was not until 1880, after Barnard had been founded, that joint public debates were held. The result of the first was so disastrous to Philo that for a number of years the Society remained intra muros forensically. From 1894 on, however, the joint debates were resumed, ceasing only in l909 after ten Philo victories and one default to Barnard's twelve' and three. - During these years a number of now prominent alumni tried their wings in oratorical flights of no mean altitude to judge from the nature of the ques- tion at issue and the persistence of their trials. We note such names as A. G. Hays '02, Wellington Koo '09, Dixon Ryan Fox '11, Arthur W. McMahon '12, Parker Moon 'l3. Some of these indeed, were instrumental in the inception of the Philo- lexian play tradition. D. R. Fox and A. W. McMahon were on the committee that produced the first Philo play, which is also the first English comedy, Ralph Roister Doisterf' The next year, A. W. McMahon was Chairman of the Committee and Manager of the second production, Frier Bacon and Prier Bongayf' With that second success, dramatic Philo was fairly launched in an activity fully as engrossing as moral suasion or argumentative endeavor had been to literary Philo in the past. Together with the annual dramatic production, the custom has developed again of reading literary pieces, either original or from books, before the Society. When the committee has finished reporting on plays or moving the House to sit as a Committee of the Vifhole, a previously designated member brings to the attention of the Society perhaps a new masterpiece of his own composition or an extraordinary find These very often excite the other members to criticism, discussion and even to the exposition of esthetic theories of the utmost interest.

MURRAY III U dig IFTY years! A half a century of overwhelming changes, a para- ' 132' doxical half century of gradual growth, of swift retardation: iff .uflfii . . , . . . . kaleidoscopic images of the College it mirrors. Such is the history 94 5417125 -' T:ffci25 QI ..,,.,'1 of Spectator, such will be its future. The forbears and rivals of Spectator have been few. Going back in remote history, we find that The Philolexian is the first publication of any sort of which we have any record. Stillborn, it appeared on February 26, 1815, and was a manuscript newspaper, designed to be read before the society. The idea of a college paper had, however, evidently taken root, and in December of the same year we find its successor, The Philolexian Observer, patterned after The Philolexian, but achieving a life-period of some four months, and coming out twelve times under anonymous editorship. The suggestion that it be printed and distributed more widely was discussed by the editor and firmly turned down: and the distinction of being the first college newspaper in America was thus lost for posterity. Academic Recreations, next in chronological line, made its bow two years later, and after a short time it too suspended publication in July, 1815. It was sponsored by the Peithologian Society, ancient rivals of Philolexian. Fifty-three long years elapsed before anything appeared that can be con- sidered a predecessor of Spectator. ln 1868 the first issue of Cap ana' Gown was published. lt took as one of the planks in its editorial policy, the establishment of the so-called New System, by which marks and strict classroom discipline would be abolished. After a short trial of the system the Faculty decided that it was a failure, and substituted what is, with minor changes, the present regime. ln line with its policy of expansion, Cap and Gown added a board of editors from the School of Mines and enlarged its scope in the Fall of 18733 at the same time changing its name to Acta Columbiana. This was as much of a magazine as a newspaper, and it seemed to perform its double function well. A sudden luxuriating of extra-curricular activities was responsible, among other things, for the establishment of Spectator, Athletics had become popular 1371 on the Campus, the crew had won the Saratoga Regatta in 1874, traclc and baseball were taking root in the organization of the College. Qther aCt1V1t12S were flourishing as they never had before: ing oftener than once a month resulted, Spectator as a semi-monthly. There THE ORIGINAL sPEcTATo'R BOARD and the need for a publication appear- on July l, 1877, in the founding of were other things probably equally responsible: the Goodwood Cup, which formerly was awarded to the most popular member of the Junior Class, bred bitter dissension among the Acta editors, and may have caused a split on personal grounds! and there is more than the possibility that the break was caused, to some extent, by the rivalry of two old and powerful fraternities. Whatever the reasons or combinations of them, Spectator was founded, and founded successfully. ln the introductory editorial we read, The Spectator seeks to be nothing more than an interesting and instructive University paper, more newsy and lighter in tone than the periodicals which have hitherto flourished so well at Columbia, and, devoting more space and attention than those to the School of Mines, the Law School and the general college world. It is significant to note here also that it was founded as a University paper,f although it has vacillated periodically between that ideal and the College conception. 1 The objectives outlined in the initial issue were carried out: various depart- ments for the different schools were expanded, such as Law School Notes, and columns devoted to the various phases of contemporary and collegiate life of local interest were developed and, in most cases, have been retained to this day, in altered form, of course. The special departments flourished steadily, and gave the paper a literary tone in harmony with its appearance-eight by ten inches in size, with a cover Cintroduced in 18815 bisected diagonally in blue and white. Articles of a literary tenor appeared frequently: short stories, poems and essays, as well as cartoons of various events and personalities had an important place in its columns. Supplements for football games were issued from time to timeg and extras, though rather less frequently. Five years after its inception, we find Spectator had increased from eight pages to twenty-eight and broadened its scope in all directions. Cartoons appeared more frequently and for a time on the front pageg the departments increased in number and size, and serial stories achieved popularity. Mean- while, after one brief and successful period under John Kendrick Bangs '81, Harry Thurston Peck '81 and Nicholas Murray Butler '82, Acta Columbiana languished, and in 1885 was absorbed by Spectator. In the twentieth year of its existence, the change from a bi-monthly to a weekly was made in an effort to raise the paper from a slump into which it seemed to have fallen. The change was not altogether successful, but two years later a complete reorganization was effected. Its role as a newspaper was more l38l definitely ixed and the paper then came out bi-Weekly. Finally, in the Fall of 1902, the change to a daily was made, and a daily it has always remained since then. Among the outstanding features of Spectator have been its various columns, carried down to us today from its earliest issues. Off-Hour, the present humorous column, has had an almost continuous existence under various guises since the founding of the paper. It has, at certain times past, exerted a powerful influence on Campus opinion. Under the guidance of Ted Shane '24, it reached probably the peak of its form of recent years, and became one of the most sophisticated and clever columns in the collegiate world. Drama and music have always had columns of criticism from the earliest times, A full page under the caption Reviews and Interviews was established in 1917 and carried features of general interest, book reviews and comments on contemporary events of a cultural nature. The present Suburbs column was organized in 1920, and at first carried critiques of musical, literary, dra? matic and artistic interest. Gradually the scope narrowed down, until today the column is concerned solely with the drama, and another department, Over- tones, reports events in the musical world for the Campus. A third column, called Books, occasionally reviews contemporary literary works. . Stroller, occupying the Off-Hour column once a week, was originated in order to present the whimsical, serious, philosophical or random impressions of the conductor on his peregrinations around the Campus. It has changed its purpose almost with each conductor, but the general tenor of the column has remained more or less the same. Comment on athletics has been a constant feature of Spectator. From HA. A. Jottingsu to 'ASport in Short, down to the present l'Sidelines, there have always been columns devoted to pertinent athletic comment. THE SPEC OFFICE AT 49TH STREET VVAS IN THE CLOAK ROOM OF THIS BUILDING. THE BULLETIN BOARD AT THE LEFT ANNOUNCED THE ARRIVAL OF SPEC ON THE CAMPUS. E391 Various columns have, from time to time, been devoted to the personalities connected with the Col- lege. In 1916 numbers of short articles on the HM- Presidents of the University and the Deans of the College were run, and later on, columns concerned with the coaches and other College characters were published. Corey Ford '23, wrote a series called Penknife Portraits which appeared in 1920, and dealt with various happenings of interest, described in a very small space with graphic brevity. Porter A sKE'rcH RECENTLY FOUND IN 1 ' AN OLD PHIL0 MINUTE BOOK- C. Murphy 17 drew a series of cartoons also. News from other colleges has been featured quite consistently. Intercol- legiate notes were included in the earliest issues and were the forerunner of the present column, Others Say, which usually quotes editorials entire from other papers. Clippings from old Spectators have been published occasionally, whenever an editor thought that it would be well to inform the Campus of some of the more vital of past events. .The latest effort in this direction was a column called Twenty-five Years Ago, which was published intermittently during 1925-26, and reprinted the more important happenings of a day that pre- ceded the date of publication by exactly twenty-five years. Special issues have appeared as occasions warranted them. The issue commemorating the sesquicentennial anniversary of the founding of the Col- lege in 1904, the one marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Spectator, and the Louvain Library Supplement Qappearing at the time of the drive to collect funds to rebuild the Louvain Libraryj, are among the most notable. From the importance that some events assumed at the time of their happening, it may almost be said that special issues were published for them. Such are the papers carrying the news of the abolition of football, its restora- tion, and the two contrasting papers on two consecutive days in October, 1924: the one jubilant with the victory of the eleven over the strong Williams team, the other in deep mourning at the loss of Coach Percy D. Haughton. ANN, vez f l . .

Special rotogravure editions were published for the West Point trips which were in vogue several years ago. The Hrst burlesque number of the paper appeared in 1925, labelled the Columbia Spectacular. During the years from 1914 to 1917 the paper seemed to run bureaus for every conceivable sort of information. It maintained the Spectator Travel Bureau which conducted tours to Bermuda fduring one of which a special mid- ocean edition of Spectator was issuedl, to other colleges whenever athletic events of sufficient importance occurred to warrant them, and to the Thousand Islands and Alaska for the summer vacation. A special car was even chartered for the Panama-Pacilic Exposition in 1915. A Theatre Bureau was also organized to procure tickets for students at cut'rates, and a Hotel .and Banquet Bureau was maintained to secure accommo- datlons for organizations which held banquets. The services of the model 1401 Spectator printing plant were also available to the public, at, we must imagine, cut rates also. The editorial campaigns are interesting, as a reflection of the views and desires of each succeeding generation. And they are all remarkably alike. Editors from the very first have asked their readers despairingly if the good old traditions of 'Columbia were to be allowed to vanish from this earth, have exhorted them without ceasing to attend their class meetings, pay their dues, cheer better at games, cast their votes in each undergraduate election. They have taken issue with the Faculty on the cut system from time immemorial, and have made scathing remarks about those professors who habitually keep their classes after the hour. The Library has come in for its share of condemnation, along with other branches of the University service that are encumbered with red tape. In 1922 a series of edits on the front page appeared, captioned What Ails Our Library? Various modifications of the present system have been proposed: and, from time to time, adopted. One of the earliest and most notable attitudes of Spectator was in oppo- sition to co-educationg this is one of the planks in the editorial platform that have been retained almost continuously down to recent times, when the presence in Hamilton of women taking extension courses was bitterly and successfully resented by the editor at the time. One of the early editors struck the key-note that has rung clear down through the years to the present: tk it it We make this appeal to the trustees of this, our blessed temporary home, that never while we live may the female sex darken our doors or plunge the professors into troublesome forgetfulnessf' The establishment of a separate College for women, however, had the endorsement of Spectator, and a few years later it hailed the establishment of Barnard as the beginning of a new era in Columbia's history. That ever present editorial cry for new buildings started with the first issue and has risen in tone or died away to a whisper as the circumstances have changed, but it has always been with us, and if one listens, always been audible. One of the iirst needs for expansion about which Spectator was just beginning to feel acutely, was met by the erection of Anthon Hall. There followed the congratulations which have since become traditional and hopes for the miracles which it was ingenuously thought it would bring to pass, The matter of a new location was taken up editorially in l89l fthe College was then at Madison Avenue and Forty-ninth Streetj , and it was during the same year that an option on the present Morningside Heights campus was secured, to be closed the following Spring. The need for more of the property than was bought originally was frequently voiced in the columns of Spectator, and the proposal to buy all the land down to the river was made. Lack of available funds or short-sightedness on the part of the authorities was responsible for the failure to secure the land, and the intensive real-estate commercial development pro- gram that centered around the Heights in subsequent years, after the completion of the subway, wiped away the possibility of Columbia's ever possessing a unique and beautiful Campus on the river. However, the prospect of moving to a site that was then on the very out- skirts of the city was delighting the editors at that time C1892-18981 , and their only concern was to make Columbia a dormitory College. The editorials pointed out that The ties of interest and loyalty can be centered only by such f41l 'Q 2.-----44. 11 ' 1 411-M,,p1.:'-7-arf-',gg,,-'0-----'M' i'fi't J.!'h .

The campaign received an added impetus when the plans for a very lux- urious dormitory with a private bath for every room and other items on a corresponding scale were published. The proposal did not meet with any favor from the Committee and died a natural death, but shortly afterwards, the plans for the first dormitory were released. Work, however, was delayed and the original plans were altered somewhat during the next few years. Finally, six years later, Spectator chron- icled the opening of Hartley and Livingston, declaring them the most complete residence halls of any university in the country. The submersion of the College by the University began to be resented by the under- graduates and the resentment is faithfully refiected in the columns of Spectator. In 1897 pleas for a College Hall, for the exclusive classroom use of members of the College were published, with the result that East Hall was finally turned over to the College: but it grew so fast that East Hall was no longer adequate, and dissatisfaction was once more rife. Throughout 1903 we find numerous editorials bewailing the lack of the Hall. It was pointed out persistently that when College men had classes in different buildings, the student body suffered in the spirit of unity which might conceivably unite them in ties of at least classroom interest. A series of editorials reviewing various phases of the situa- tion next appeared, and each ended with the statement, always run in capitals: COLUMBIA MUST, THEREFORE, HAVE A COLLEGE HALL. 'L' Finally, on May 2, 1905, Spectator an- nounced in streaming headlines that an anony- mous donor had given S500,000 for a College Hall to be named after Alexander Hamilton and to be situated on the College Quadrangle next to .:-:u-,.. -:Th E525 - ':'.:::::1'3-'fl ETi?5.:Ei'?5eTh'-?4 'fi'-1:v.'::-5555 Hartley and Livingston, then in process of construction.

That it was not a perfect panacea for all the ills that Columbia is heir to, has been proved, but it undoubtedly made for ,,1mm,-:M ,,-, --Dmzzumzx a greater feeling of unity among Columbia men.

Editorials on the lack of any elevator service have always appeared-without any noticeable effect to date. . The growing need for a Students' Hall has engrossed the attention of editors since the removal of the College to these Heights: and by a Students' Hall was meant a place tk X X with a grill room, a sort of College hangout, but no Commons frequented by our present fellow classmates from the lower East Side pk tl' if A suitable suite for the Athletic Offices. A less disagreeable home for the publications 'K tk he possibly a University press in the basement. A reception hall where one may bring a prep school man with pride and say, This is Columbia College. Interest alternately grew and waned as the years passed by, but in October, l922, there was an editorial on the front page, taking up the plea for a Students' Hall again: We can show visitors to our College where we study and where we sleepy but what of the question about where we eat, where we congregate, and where we conduct our activities? At that point Columbia men grow embarrassed and silent. On being pressed, they have to admit that the sole dining hall of the University is the bizarre and unattractive Commons: that crowded, creaking East Hall is the only roof for our undergraduate activi- ties: and that there is no place set aside for us to talk together and to rneet socially . In December of the same year the plans for Students' Hall were announced, but Spectator seized upon the fact that no definite date had been set for its erection and said in part: it if 'K although it is pleasant to find that the authorities have begun drawing up plans for the structure, Spectator feels that the student body is entitled to far more than blue-prints. The Campus should have the actual Students' Hall, and that immediately. H31 A series of statements was run, beginning with t. letter from the football captain, and including statements from the leaders in all the activities, the prom- inent Alumni, and many of the Faculty. - Finally, the campaign bore visible fruit: the date of the erection was set and Spectator editorializes: Within the near future, the College will possess, for the first time since its founding in 1754, all the components of an under- graduate center: class rooms, dormitories, an athletic iieldg and finally, dining rooms, lounges and activity quarters. In contemplation of this delightful situation, Spectator pauses for words-it is splendid. , Specnnor has Hgured pronnnendy'in the hktory of footbaH, oppodng, weighing and advocating proposals as they seemed to be harmful, debatable or desirable at the time. When, in the Fall of 1905, the proposal was made to abolish football, Spectator could only gasp in astonishment and feebly protest: soon recovering, however, to take up the iight with untiring vigor. Editorials daily for the next few weeks attacked the policy of the authorities and the columns were flooded with communications from Alumni and under- graduates condemning the hasty action of the Committee that was respon- sible for the move. Mass meetings were held frequently and Spectator presented several petitions to the Faculty. All to no avail, however: for on December 21, it was announced that the game had been definitely abolished. The issue of Spectator carrying the news has a funereal appearance, as will be seen from the illustration. Black borders featured the paper again the next day. During the next ten years, Spectator supported the plea for intercollegiate football continually. ln 1915 the end of the trail was seen in the distance, and in big blazing headlines Spectator announced that football had been restored for a probation period of five years. The editorial comments jubilantly on the prospect and predicts another new era in the history of the College. When, in 1919, the restrictions were all removed, the last chapter in the history of the struggle was written. Probably the greatest of all the campaigns waged by Spectator have been related to athletics. A famous one started late in the Nineties, and continued to 1920, having for its first object the acquisition of South Field, and when this was accomplished, the erection of the famous River Stadium. to be built off One Hundred and Sixteenth Street on land filled in from the Hudson River. The campaign lasted over a period of many years and was the outcome of an anomalous situation which may be described briefly. ln 1906 the New York State Legislature had granted to Columbia University the right to fill in sufficient land off One Hundred and Sixteenth Street for a landing pier and athletic stadium seating 60,0003 the pier to be used by the City to welcome visiting potentates. lt was estimated that it would cost about S700,000. Two years later the sanction of the City was received and with all legislative bars down, Spectator urged the immediate construction of the stadium. The War interrupted the campaign and interest waned during many of the succeeding years, but in 1920 the cudgels were again taken up in its behalf and a vigorous campaign prosecuted. Feeling again ran high: and after two weeks of con- tinuous dinning, the Trustees appointed committees to investigate the existing status both of the charter and the estimated cost. Both committees made discouraging reports: the legal group stated that Columbia had by no means a prior claim to the field and the City might, at any time, decide to welcome a visiting dignatary at the same time that a football classic was scheduled. And the other committee reported that the cost of the stadium had risen to over 556,000,000 Accordingly, the Dyckmann tract E441 Cnow known as Baker Fieldj was purchased immediately, as it was the next best possible location for a field. Other campaigns have cropped up now and again, some to die away and others to be carried through to eventual success. Beginning in 1921, Spectator carried editorials at infrequent intervals on the desirability of standardizing the Varsity C letter. The motion did not receive official recognition until l927, when Student Board seconded the proposal and it was passed by the proper committee. Another campaign was concerned with obtaining c ol l e g e c r e d i t for college work, an ingenious plan whereby men working on Spectator and the debating team would receive aca- n-wry--fi Glnlmithia gfperiatnr CRUSlill2Ei.

Fraternities have been topics for editorial discussion since the founding of the paper, usually in connection with the inter-fraternity agreement. A campaign in the Spring of 1922 resulted in the signing of an inter-fraternity pact, by which the date at which a Freshman could be pledged was postponed. Another drive in 1924 brought matters to a head and revisions of the Agree- ment were adopted. ,One of the most colorful of recent incidents that occurred behind the scenes of Spectator was in connection with The Society of Magdalen, Founded in l777 . A group of socially eligible men, several of whom were on the staff, 1451 banded together to form this organization and announced their membership roll in the May 5th, 1924, issue of Spectator. It was patently in imitation of the Oxford society of the same name, founded in 1776. A few bold and congenial spirits, not to be outdone, started a rival society by the phonetically identical name of Maudlin, and laid plans to -publish their membership roll in Spectator a few days later. All would have gone well but for a slip by which the Magdalens learned of the plans of their rivals and pre- pared to frustrate them. Accordingly, one of their number dropped in the printing plant just after the night editor had gone home and before the paper had been put to bed . He convinced the compositor that changes in the paper were necessary, and proceeded to effectually spike the guns of the Maudlins. He changed the -name to The Get-Together Society and increased the roll by the addition of names of men who were not considered for membership for one reason or another, or for several reasons: and he omitted the names of several of the qualified members. Of course there was an uproar the next day and it was even thought necessary by the discomfited Maudlins to appeal to the Dean for redress, and in vain. Insult was added to insult when on the next day a notice box on the front page announced in bold face type the omission of several names from the list and this time the roll comprised several of the members of the Magdalen So- ciety, in a mixed crowd. The excitement that their birth occasioned has grad- ually died away, and the societies did not perpetuate themselves, fortunately, or perhaps not. g The spirit of Spectator men, their camaraderie, are also part of the tra- dition. Outcroppings of juvenility in the form of periodic boniires of ex- changes, the famous hair tonic conflagrations that featured one long winter, and other forms of amusing arson, a lesser, more frivolous, but still authentic part of the heritage of the staff. The incredible sacriices the members of the staff make continuously, enormously out of all proportion to any expected benefit, the affection they hold for the paper and the splendid spirit of sportsmanship they develope, are a truer, more lasting portion of this tradition. And so it has ever been: Spectator has thrown itself into every issue: fought hard on the side it believed to be right: enthusiastically hailed each stage of the development of the College as a new era g and fulfilled its ideal of service in various manners at various times, but always clung steadfastly to that ideal. These struggles, these ideals, have been part of the heritage handed down by each board to the nextg each holds sway during its short regimeg each struggles: each achieves. These are the visible facts of Spectators history: the best part of it can never be written. E461 , 5 Qhxlumhizr Qlinifrersiig in the flliig nf Fein '-Quark DEAN OF COLUMBIA COLLEGE To the Class of 1927: To condense into a single page all of the emotions that arise as the Class of 1927 goes out into the world is not an easy task. The members of the class have gained much by the association of the last four years. Some of this gain has been in the direction of prep- aration for business or professional career, while some of it has resulted in clarifying and enlarging the mind. If each member of the class will compare his knowledge, his attitudes and his interests of four years ago with those which he now possesses, the contrast is bound to be a striking one. In no direction, however, is the human value of a college course more clear than in the associations formed. These associations are with ideas, with books, with enterprises of various kinds, and with friends among teachers and fellow students. Although the class moves along, one element of many of these associa- tions remains, to form a permanent impress on the life of the College. This is the contribution of the class to Columbia College. It is hoped and expected that Columbia College will always retain her place in the heart of each member of the Class of 1927 as an intel- lectual stimulus to be remembered, a warm personal attachment to be cherished and a group of friends to be held for many years to come. Cordially yours, CSignedj H. E. HAWKES. l48l DEAN HERBERT E. HAWKES Qlnlumhiet Qtlnihersitg in the Qlitg nf 25261 '1-Enrk PRESlDENT'S ROOM February 12, 1927. To the Editors of the COLUMBIAN: Few things are more important for us than the maintenance of college traditions. These traditions are maintained not only in the College itself, but in that larger community which is made up of those who have been graduated from the College. A most vital and effective element in college tradition is the family tradition which persists through generations. There are some names upon the books of Columbia College which have been there from generation after generation for more than a century. It is of such stuff that college tradition is most certainly made. Wlhen the son follows in the footsteps of the father, and the father in the footsteps of the grandfather, then a permanent and effective tradition is well on in the making. It is a fixed principle in Columbia that it maintains close personal. contact between teachers and taught, between elders and those who are their juniors. There is no mass education in Columbia College. It is the individual who matters, and it is the individual for whom care is given. To get the Columbia tradition means to gain the benetit of all this, to read and to love the history of the College, of all that it has done, and of all that has been done for it, and then to contribute to the building of that family relationship and family tradition which means so much both to the family and to the College. 'With every good wish for the Class of 1927, each and all, I am. Faithfully yours, fS1gI'1CdD NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER. 1501 i Clnlumhia Qtlniheraiig I in the flliig uf Hein Hath orifice OF THE CHAPLAIN To the Class of 1927: In a figure of speech which naturally suggests itself, the Class of2 1927, like a victorious crew, has come to the finish-line of the day of graduation. You have pulled together for four years, and with the win- ning of this race you are now to separate. But' the memory of this expe- rience and achievement will always remain. It will form the bond of an enduring association. Your class reunions and undertakings will provide new ways to give expression to the spirit of a common loyalty. Each one will henceforth wear the C, which signiies, that he will represent.. in whatever he does, the name and the fame of Columbia. Hearty congratu- lations are offered, with the assurance that the Class and its record will long be remembered. May every member End in the years that lie ahead the work to which he can devote all of his capacity and training. There is no satisfaction equal to the full exercise of one's highest powers in the service of a worth- while aim. Here your talents have been developed, and in your study of the past and of the present you have discovered those values which consti- tute the goal of the future. Occupations and professions will vary accord- ing to individual preference and Etness, but the aim is that for which this University was founded, and in devotion to it you take your permanent place in her fellowship.

But Colum- bia was soon to enter the transitional period, and it was to be 1927's privilege to see this era start and linish. As the Class prepares to take its last curtain call, it finds that the Columbia of its youth has been transformed. Columbia is now in what we may call the John Jay age, and the modern influence of the new era has permeated every phase of its life. ' 1 x 7 asf! K1 .pllff 'Ifllif' H 1 ' i' r I The history of the Class of 1927 is not one that can be rivalled by any classes of recent years, nor will it be approached in color and interest for many years to come. The history is really more than a chronicle of events, it is the story of Columbia's advance from one order to another. The other classes 1927 met ahead of it in college, '24, '25 and '26, belong to the old order. Its younger companions, '28, '29 and '30, must be classed as members of the new regime and 1927's place is-where? lt stands apart from the others, a little bewildered, uncertain, reminiscent, regretful -- and yet, it feels its group-consciousness more perhaps than any of its companions, for it has expe- rienced troubled times. It can tell a unique story in cataloguing the events that have transpired in the course of its life in College, and that is what this brief history will attempt to do. Entirely innocent of what was in store for them, an eager group of Fresh- men collected in front of East Hall in the Pall of 1923 to purchase their caps and cards. With no formality and less gentleness, the Sophomores introduced themselves into the lives of these bewildered young men. The result of the meeting was soon seen. Frosh were shown unique ways of wearing their apparel: they were taught how to row, sans water, sans boat, and with matches for oarsg they were appropriately labelled with shoe blackingg they frolicked on the lawn, emulating fawns and dryadsg but enough - they learned rapidly that the Freshman's first lesson is humility. Rules that were rules were enforced in those colorful days. Frosh could not wear knickers, cuffs on the trousers, loudly colored clothes, yellow slickers, and black or green was the proper color for the socks and cravats. The obe- dient yearling always carried matches for the upperclassman, He could not sit on any of the fences and benches around the Campus. If he chose to disobey the regulations he was promptly taken to the Palisades by the Black Avengers where he was paddled with strong oak paddles. 1927 bore up under all of this with the sweet thought of wreaking vengeance on the next Class, but events later on were to show that a new type of Sophomore justice was to be installed, and the vengeance dreamed of never materialized, The first oflicial gathering of the Class took place on September 27, 1923, when two hundred of its members collected in Earl Hall, at the formal Student H631 Board reception, to hear such notables as Dean Hawkes, the late Percy D. Haughton, Chaplain Knox, Doc Cook and the various student leaders tell them what was in store for them. The occasion was used to plan for the informal welcoming party that the Sophomores were arranging for them the following day. It was well for them that they had arranged to meet and proceed to the scene of the scrap the next day in a body, for two hundred Sophomores, looking very fierce, were awaiting their arrival at ll6th Street and Broadway that momentous day. The battle raged until several enthusiastic combatants who had carried the iight into Hamilton Hall accidentally knocked the Dean off his feet. With some difficulty the battle was iinally halted, resulting, 'in the words of Spectator, in an unquestioned victory for Dean Hawkes . No Class can claim that it is fully initiated until it has met the Dean. Accordingly, a week later, the Freshmen gathered in the Chapel to hear Dean Hawkes' short talk on Columbia traditions. Formal receptions were now things of the past. The Sophs, however, gave the yearlings little chance to get interested in their studies, for the following day they offered themselves up in sacrifice in the annual tug-of-war. ln two straight heats l927 decisively trounced 1926, and then to make the victory more emphatic, paraded around South Field with the rope, despite the feeble opposition offered by the smaller group of Sophomores. All through the Fall a committee appointed by the Student Board had managed the affairs of the new Class. However, elections held early in Decem- ber resulted in the choice of Donald E. Johnston for president: John T. Lorch for vice-president: Hartwell M. Webb for secretary, and Palmer J. Wright for treasurer. Things political and academic could not hold the attention of the Class for a long period, however, for the lure of combat with the Sophomores was too strong. Soon after elections, picked groups from the two classes met on South Field in the sack rush. After thirty minutes of struggling the contest was halted, and the Sophs declared victors by a margin of inches. Dinner Week, the traditional period in which amateur sleuths try to show their ability, was one of disaster for 1927. Carefully laid plans fell to pieces when the second-year men swooped down on the small groups of Frosh waiting at scattered points for moving vans which were to take them to the Oakwood Arms, Staten'lsland. Only 125 Freshmen reached the inn for the first course, and half of them were on parole. Efforts to locate the scene of the Soph dinner were to no avail. False leads sent the yearlings scurrying to Yonkers while the older class dined unmolested at Coney Island. The committee in charge of Dinner Week arrangements was made up of Robert W. Richardson, Joseph W. S. Davis, Thomas Harris, George S. French and S. Pelham Thayer. 1 The Sophomores must have had the w. k. Indian sign of their enemies during that month of February, for Alumni Day, with its annual cane sprees, witnessed another yearling defeat. Pel Thayer won the sole victory for 1927. The other members of the team were Kahr, McCarthy, Lacourciere, McDonald and Kinzel. The day of liberty, after which Freshmen would be free to discard their regulation regalia, came with Hat Snatching Day early in May. The Frosh l64l were surprised at first, but soon were on their guard, and engaged in many indi- vidual combats before setting aside forever their badges of verdancy. Proof that the yearling days were numbered came a few days later when a delegation was chosen for the Sophomore Van Am Society. The Freshmen thus honored were: Edward W. Beers, Joseph A. Billings, Robert S. Curtiss, Joseph W. Davis, Joseph M. Donavan, G. Crawford Eadie, Cyril K. Empring- ham, George S. French, Edmund P. Goodwin, C. King Hamilton, J. Daniel Hanley, Benjamin Hoy, Hebert J. Jacobi, Charles G. Lockwood, John T. Lorch, Clifford E. Nobes, William P. Ray, Robert W. Richardson, Edwin L. Robbins, Harold M. Roberts, George A. Roegner, Leonard H. Schlude, George T. Scriba, William B. Sherman, Henry M. Shrady, Forman R. Slack, S. Pel- ham Thayer, E. Frederick Uhrbrock, Palmer J. Wright and Alan D. Will. In athletics, the Class of l927 made only a fair record. Because of the failure to arrange a stronger and more representative schedule, the football team was unable to equal the mark set by 1926. The eleven beat the Jayvees, Wes- leyan and Irving School by impressive margins, but lost to Cornell, 9 to O. Captain Cy Empringham, Bob Curtiss, George French and Mike Sesit were the outstanding men on the team. While the grid men were kicking the ball around South Field, 1927's cross-country team was losing two races, winning the third and placing tenth in the lntercollegiates. Captain Joe Donovan, Jack Lorch and Ed Roche were the outfit's best bets. Three victories and four defeats comprised the record for the quintent led by Jack Rothenfeld, and strengthened by Jack Lorch, Fred Uhrbrock and Bill Darnell. Swimming was the most successful winter sport, the team taking four matches and dropping two. Ed Dowling was the most consistent point-scorer, but other stellar performers were Wood McClure, Fred Uhrbrock and Dan Hanley. The Frosh wrestlers, led by Bob Kinzel, won two matches, lost three and tied the sixth. Fencing started auspiciously with a victory over McBurney, but stiffer opposition came along and the team lost the four remaining meets, despite the good work of Captain Bob Silva. The rifle team, captained by Hartwell Webb, had a successful year, winning four out of six matches. The most successful team put into competition by the Class of l927 was the baseball nine. Previous to the Spring of l924 Frosh were eligible to play with the Varsity Club: however, with 1927's entry into college this rule was abolished. With Lorch as captain, Columbia's first Frosh team set a good example for the following classes by winning all its games. While its season was limited to one meet, the track team made a splendid record, largely because of the work of Captain Palmer J. Wright, a four event man. Having started the season with two victories, the tennis team slumped badly and suffered four defeats. The best work was done by David and Malcolm Nlaclay and Captain Lou Watson. lneligibility and accidents combined to jinx the crew, the first boat trailing the field in both its races. .The second boat, however, lost its initial race and then triumphed over DeWitt Clinton and Stuyvesant. An unusual number of the Class became interested in the King's Crown activities. At the end of the year many of the candidates were rewarded by election to the staffs of the various publications. The musical clubs and dra- matics also took their share of the men. However, even classes grow up, so after a summer of rest, l927 returned to Morningside Heights as full-fledged Sophomores. Before the summer recess had started the Class had chosen John T. Lorch for its Sophomore leader: f65l Edward Beers for vice-president, William Ray for secretary and Carl Axelrod for treasurer. After successfully hazing the Freshmen who appeared to purchase caps and cards, the Class met to plan for the reception of the newcomers the following day. Sophomore sophistication was soon evident, -however, for only seventy- five members of the Class were on hand to welcome the three hundred Fresh- men. A few straggling Frosh were painted, but on the whole, the Sophs received a bad drubbing. To add to the disappointment of the Class, rumors that Freshman rules were to be made much less stringent, and that the physical punishment used in previous years was to be done away with were confirmed. The power of the Black Avengers was curtailed. The paddle was relegated to the scrap heap, and humiliation was to be the main weapon for punishing violations of the depleted regulations. The morale of the Class was hard hit. The new era in Columbia College had begun. Spurred on by these disappointments, l927 turned out in force for the tug-of-war, and although greatly outnumbered, forced the tug to three heaves before the Freshmen were able to win the decision. The Sophs then waited for November 14 for revenge. On that day the Song Fest was held and the shoe blacking that had been lying idle since September was daubed on the faces of the Frosh who failed to pass the singing test. l927 had a great time. p Between these two events Columbia athletics received the greatest blow they had ever suffered. The Campus was shocked to learn one day of the sud- den death of Percy D. Haughton, the football coach, who had done so much to re-establish Columbia sports. The Sophomore Class joined in mourning his passing, and through the Van Am Club solicited the funds that were to establish a memorial room to the great coach. And still did l927 see drastic changes take place. In the middle of November the Van Am Club was entirely reorganized. The membership was reduced from forty to thirty, but the Class was proud to have the honor of seeing the society converted from a purely honorary society into one with very definite duties. A few weeks later another Columbia organization was radically changed. 1927 had entered college when cut throat rushing was engaged in by the fraternities. As soon as a man was fully matriculated he was eligible to be bid. Now, however, things were changed. Deferred rushing and closed bidding was installed. But l927, participant and spectator in this transitional period, was still to see more. The campaign which ultimately resulted in the erection of John Jay Hall was started in December. A month later the trustees announced that the building would soon be built. Lack of interest and consequent inadequate preparation resulted in an over- whelming defeat for the Sophs in the annual cane sprees just before the Christ- mas recess began. McDonald and Hailpern won their bouts for '27, but French, Stimmel, Sesit, Ackerman and Lacourciere were not as successful. For the second time in its career, l927 ran into Dinner Week. The bitter experiences of the first year had served as a lesson for the Sophs, and it was an easy matter for them to locate the dinner at the Chalet Inn, Long Island City. Police protection secured by the Freshmen, however, prevented the second-year class from-doing any more than scaring its antagonists. The Sophomores' claims to victory were undisputed. Simple, but effective plans that worked with f66l clock-like precision, enabled the Sophomore Class to enjoy one of the most suc- cessful dinners in years at the Longue Vue, Hastings-on-Hudson, with the Freshman president in attendance as a reluctant guest. The committee for the week was composed of Robert S. Curtiss, chairman, C. King Hamilton, Harold McGuire, Edwin Robbins and George Roegner. The Class of l927 next turned its interest to the stage. A satirical piece, lVlusclebound , written by Alan Max, was presented early in April as the Soph Show. C. Vincent Breiner was chairman of the committee in charge, while heads of sub-committees were Alan Will, Raymond Schmitt, Joseph W. Davis, George Scriba and Leo Brown. The principal roles were taken by Henry Grant, Donald E. Johnston, Ray Schmitt, Eugene Lowe, Robert S. Curtiss and Edgar Bromberg. The play dealt with college life in the future, when baseball, football, tennis, and other sports were regular courses in the curriculum, while math, chemistry, Sanskrit and the like were the extra-curricular activities. Columbia finally wins a Sanskrit match from Cornell by the margin of a prepo- sition due to the timely assistance of a substitute who was thought to be ineli- gible because he had flunked football. The promise shown by Ereshman athletes the year before was now ful- filled. ln several cases former Varsity men had to give up their positions in favor of the Sophomores. The King's Crown activity men moved one step nearer the jobs of responsibility that they were aiming for. The Sophomores were being groomed for their more important roles the following year. Passing the half-way mark in their college career, the members of the Class of 1927 now looked upon the under-class scraps with all the scornful dignity that they could muster. College now took on for them a different aspect. The Junior year, the year of social activities, was upon them, The year in which the activity men would make their last spurts, in which politics would be of utmost concern, in which serious thoughts of the future would first enter,-the year, in short, that every college man remembers as one of his brightest, was now here. Robert S. Curtiss, Charles K. Bullard, Arthur Earmer and Nelson Doerr were the new class olncers. ' Being men of affairs now, the Juniors were much interested in the prog- ress of the various activities. The football foundation that they had seen laid by Haughton now resulted in the building of the most successful team in years. The Blue and White gained its iirst important victory in twenty years when it triumphed over the redoubtable Army eleven, 2l to 7. The coming of the Glendons as crew coaches, and the intensive indoor practice which followed the brief Fall session on the water awakened the interest in this sport. In spite of this interest in sports, however, the Juniors were most engrossed in the plans for Junior XVeek, traditionally spoken of as the period of the most brilliant social affairs. In the middle of October, therefore, the Junior Week committees were chosen. Jack Lorch was given the premiere position as Chair- man of Junior Week, while the committee was composed of Roegner, Uhrbrock, Breiner, Davis, Wright and Nobes. These men in turn were the heads of the various sub-committees. Following the lead of several older classes, the Juniors picked a well- known actress for a class sponsor. Helen Ford, star of many Broadway suc- E671 cesses, visited the Campus early in December to pose with the Juniors for their annual class picture. A With dozens of members of the Class working hard to insure the success of the period, Junior Week finally came around late in February. It has always been, and probably always will be, a fact that Junior Week is the biggest thing in the college year. Coming as a climax to the week, during which the Juniors revelled in an unceasing succession of fraternity teas, concerts and dances of all sorts, the Promenade proved to be one of the most successful in many years. For the first time in several seasons, the finance committee was able to 'report a profit. And yet, none of the beauty and splendor of the Prom was sacrificed. The ball was held in the main ball-room of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Impartial observers agree in saying that the night of February 26, 1926, was one to be remembered by every one who was fortunate enough to attend the Prom. As an added feature, the announcement of the result of the voting for the two new members of Student Board was made at the Prom. Jack Lorch, prominent in athletics since his entrance into Columbia, and Cliff Nobes, out- standing in the King's Crown and class activities, were the successful candidates. More and more the Class of 1927 was displacing l926 in the activity circles. By the end of the year most of the sports had chosen Juniors to lead them the following year. Jack Lorch was singularly honored, holding the captaincy of basketball and baseball. Fred Uhrbrock was the choice of the swimmers. The wrestlers picked Mike Sesit for their new leader: Joseph Davis was named acting captain of the crew: Edward Roche was the newly selected captain of cross-country: while water polo, tennis, fencing and rifle picked Carl Theobald, David Maclay, Dudley Evans and George A. Torrey as their leaders. The King's Crown activities also began to change managers. Clifford Nobes assumed the Editorship of Spectator: Arthur Bowles took charge of the 1927 COLUMBIAN: Jester found a new editor in Wood McClure: Varsity, in Jacques Barzun, MOFUl'UgSl'd6 in Roy M. Z. Moskowitz, while William lVlcL. Twiddy was elected general manager of the Varsity Show. Election of the remaining members of Student Board resulted in the choice of Charles Bullard, George French, Nlyron Sesit, Frederick Uhrbrock and Palmer Wright. Lorch was the unanimous choice of the Board for the position of chairman. For the King's Crown Board of Governors two editors and two managers were chosen. Nobes, editor of Spectator, and McClure, editor of Jester, were elected along with Forman R. Slack, manager of the Glee Club, and Herbert Jacobi, business manager of the Varsity Show. The l927 Uni- versity Committee on Athletics was to be made up of Lorch, Sesit and French. The Juniors were now the leaders in extra-curricular activity. The jobs that they had coveted in their Freshman year now belonged to them. In the few remaining weeks of the third year they accustomed themselves to their new posts. The period of trial and preparation was now complete, the Class of 1927 was ready to step into the 'fore and run Columbia College. The Seniors started their big year with George Roegner as president, Edwin V. Jaycox as,vice-president, Gordon S. Ferris as secretary and Nelson E. Doerr as treasurer. lnasmuch as class activities never start in the last year until late in the Spring, a record of any activities that are the result of student inter- vention is a chronicle of Senior activities, for the graduating class is so closely tied up with every college affair. l68J Early in the year a discussion was carried on in the columns of Spectator by numerous correspondents about the Freshman rules. Student Board decided to settle the affair once and for all by having a college referendum on the subject and the results showed the college to be overwhelmingly in favor of the con- tinuance of the regulations. John Jay Hall, the new activity center, was incomplete upon the return to school, but the upper ffoors, devoted to dormitory purposes, were put in shape for occupancy. Late in October the Campus busied itself to prepare for the Visit of Queen Marie of Roumania and the Lord Bishop of London, who were coming on the same day. Because of the distinguished visitors an underclass scrap was called off. Columbia undergraduates found it just as interesting to trail the Queen on her tour of the Campus. Throughout the three preceding years the Class of l927 had periodically heard minor sport men grumble about the awards that they received. They objected to the multi-shaped C's and felt that the distinction between their letters and the major sports were too great. lt was with great satisfaction, therefore, that they learned on December 9 that in the future there would be but two letters, a large and a small block and that minor sport men were at last content. Basketball was, at the same time, raised to the status of a major sport. 1927 felt proud of the part its members had played in bringing about these important changes. During the Christmas recess a visitor to the Campus might have wondered at the industry of many weary Prosh who, laden down with all sorts of para- phernalia, made numerous trips between old East Hall and bright and sparkling John Jay. If they had inquired they would have learned that Columbia Col- lege was moving. East Hall, the heart of extra-curricular life for so many student generations, was at least to be deserted. The activities had found their new home. The Class of 1927 had had the honor of being the last one in the old quarters, and its members who held managerial posts had the distinction of initiating the new offices. With the beginning of the last semester, a new order in the social life of Columbia College was begun. The new John Jay dining hall, in which the large majority of dormitory men were to eat their dinners, was opened. The formal house-warming took place a week after it had been functioning, and the occasion was one to be remembered for many years. The trustees, headed by President Butler, and all the University and College ofhcials were in attendance. Clifford Nobes and Kenneth Abernathy made addresses on behalf of the student body. Columbia at last had a common dining hall and its presence will undoubtedly do more to promote a feeling of loyalty and comradeship than anything else. The day of glory for the and D. was also passed, for the University grill opened in John Jay Hall. Of an evening the' Campus leaders could be found in the delightful little room in the basement of John Jay linger- ing over their coffee and planning the destinies of Columbia College. At the time of going to press, activities have not yet commenced. Plans are on foot, however, to make 1927's Class Day and Commencement one of the best in many years. The Seniors are getting ready to relinquish their power and preparing for the time when they will join that vast army of Columbia men who have gone before, fondly cherishing the memories of their under- graduate days. l69l ALEXANDER HAMILTON AND HAMILTON HALL 1927's day is over. In retrospect, the Class looks back at its history and sighs. Traditions have been shattered, a new and modern Columbia is growing out of the ruins. Even the Campus has changed its appearance. When the Class entered College tennis courts occupied the space held by John Jay, astron- omy students frequented the little Vxfilde Observatory on the green instead of taking the elevator to the fourteenth floor of the newly-erected Physics Build- ing. New dormitories have been built at Barnard and on East Field. The School of Business has been placed in juxtaposition to Journalism. A splendid annex has been added to Havemeyer. The face of the Campus has been changed considerably, but it is still the spot that '27 will always associate with its brightest years, and it is still the spot that '27 will revisit in years to come to keep in touch with Alma Mater, mother and maker of men. 1927 JUNIOR WEEK COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN NOBES ROE GNER DAVIS WRIGHT UHRBROCK LORCI-I BREINER E711 THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1927 Kenneth H.

MAX is' the usual opinion of the cynic thatcollegle men may ,be cate- gorically placed in one class, that there is a disgusting uniformity Kai f of collegiate type, that the bachelor of arts may be scented at a dis- ,s'l- . . . . . . tance, and that peas in a pod are comparatively highly individual- QQBJ-' ized. This assumption maintains, by way of explanation, that a group of boys of various potentialities enters college and, by reason of four years pressure exerted by moribund pedagogues, the group leaves the institution, inspected, hermetically sealed and bearing the signature of the manufacturer. How fallacious this IS may be realized when l insist there are, not one, but six groups into which college men fall. I can best prove -what may seem at first glance an over-optimistic statement, by briefly portraying six representative acquaintances of mine. The way that four years of college have left Robert Blake untouched and unspoiled, renders him almost god-like by virtue of his imperturbability. He has retained his individuality with what would seem, to those who do not know him, a maniacal jealousy. The Robert who walks on the campus today is the same Robert who purchased a freshman cap four years ago. He is taller now, taller and broader, and his adolescent awkwardness has given way to a virile grace. Pour years on the athletic field have made him what Nature, if not the Faculty, intended man to be. But otherwise he is the same unaffected, genuine Robert. He has warded off the feeble blows of education with a manly lack of effort. He has not allowed one lecture, one book to tarnish him the slightest impression. He wears his cap and gown with a stately carelessness: his degree is clutched in a strong, well moulded hand. Happy Robert! He steps out into the World, unhampered by a single idea. ' Alfred Hornsby is a scholar. When he entered college he knew what he wanted and wasted no time in getting it. A certain amount of penetration and an amazing memory have helped him learn everything in the curriculum, and almost everything that lies beyond it. Mention roses and Alfred will quote Ausonius. Point to a flag at half-mast and he will tell you the sanguinary episodes of Seneca and Daniel Rovelli. He is able, consequently, to converse with the young instructors on most intimate terms. Alfred himself will be a professor some day unless he falls in love. Wally Corbett feels that he has gained most from the extra-curricular activities. This is probably true. After four years of committees, business boards, managerships, and so on, Wally has the ease and self-confidence that no books can give. A good mixer, an efficient organizer, his friends know that he will be successful in any line he choses. Besides engaging in activities, Wally has worked faithfully at his books, because he doesn't believe in doing things by halves. He has learnt a great deal, and the whole business is in a complete set oftypewritten, indexed notes in the bottom drawer of his bureau. He would desire no more fitting climax to his career than to have the mourners at his funeral snake-dance their way to the cemetery. College has had a great effect upon Donald Thornton. It has developed f 77 l his aesthetic sensibilities and stirred an innate yearning for the Beautiful. Donald has read and reread Plato's Symposium, the conclusion to Pater's Renaissance and bits of Havelock Ellis, and now, whenever it rains, he runs down to the Drive to see the river. lt is a pleasure to watch him stop traflic in the middle of the street as he gesticulates wildly upon spying sunlight on a brick wall. At the symphony concerts Donald sits with his head in his hands. Donald thanks God for creating him a vertebrate with a structure specially adapted to the running of thrills. What distinguishes George Bailey from his classmates is that he is an original thinker. College has given him what it has given the others: an education, but George has also derived from college what might be termed perspective. He sees things in their proper values. The fallibility of man, the transcience of all we hold dear, the obvious futility of a college education as seen from the Milky Way, all tend to make George a little wiser, more melancholy and, it must be confessed, a bit cynical. He began this objective thinking in his sophomore year when he took an introductory course in Phil- osophy. He studied Schopenhauer and contemplated suicide until he reached the paragraph which discredits it. As the commencement procession winds its black way across the campus, George looks at those who are marching beside him and a slight smile plays about his mouth. Perhaps he is the wisest of us all. Who knows? - Floyd Sanborn is a dilletante. Lacking the intensity of the scholar, he has sipped at the fountain of learning wherever he has found it to his taste. He has acquired, as a result, a general, well-rounded education, although it is true that he has neglected the sciences, government, economics and history. Epi- grams are his playthings and scandalous tidbits about people-who-count, his pabulum. He exhales a college education. Short, variable opinions on Brahms, a sententious remark on the Post-impressionists, an eye-brow raised at the in- comprehensibility of Picasso, gestures with reference to the lmagists, Jean Cocteau, Schonberg, Yvonne Printemps, Eugene O'Neill and Covarrubias, all these make him a charming conversationalist. Floyd knows, too, the potency of a psycho-physical parallelism injected into a philosophical dis- cussion when it is least expected. Behold the men! Six unique types, overlapping here and there, it is true, but for the most part clear and distinct. That a college can take the raw material of adolescence and turn it into such beings as I have tried to depict, savors of the miraculous. That it is not a miracle, is shown by the frequency with which the process occurs. It throws an interesting light both upon the men who are responsible for this system and upon the fundamental make-up of the youths in whose educated hands rests the future. l78l CAMPUS BY PHIL C.

E831 i i 5 Q , The Wise Youth at the Theatre BY Jacourss MARTIN BARZUN ACT I course, I said my friend, after we had taken our seats in row F, center aisle, there are only live or six plays produced each season that I would really care to see. I'm afraid, he replied composedly enough, that's only V ykgtxut another of your pleasing exaggerations. I have heard you say that even trivial plays were enjoyable and bad art necessary. My companion, chosen especially for his ability to say much in a few or no words, astonished me by his prolixity. Usually a nervous twitch of the eyelids sufficed to register an objection. I am sorry, I replied, but the very fact that I have enjoyed trivial plays and condoned bad art Cdefinition not furnishedj is precisely the reason Why, if left to my own devices, I should see only a half dozen dramatic productions a year. I settled back in my seat as comfortably as its construction would allow, and, not deterred by the fact that the curtain was going up and the lights dimming, I fell into my easy, and I dare say pleasing, conversational style. Por four years now I have been attending this intimate society enter- tainment we call theatre. I have been bored often, interested not seldom, and excited once or twice. Not on a mathematic principle, you know, for I have an insular contempt of insincerity and a continental irreverence for official criti- cism. But to return. There are, to my mind, two distinct viewpoints that can be held with regard to the theatre. Either it is the most objective form of literary expression, and therefore bears a close and critical relation to individual and social life: or else, it is a highly ingenious form of mental relaxation than has no connection whatever with anything outside itself. The woman on the stage, I now noticed, had ceased knitting socks and was winding the clock, the sole object of value in one of those homely English interiors, adorned with homely women engaged in the performance of homely tasks,-such as knitting socks. Even that prospect could not deter me. To be illustrative, I resumed, there was, in the winter of 1923, a series of dra- matic productions of the highest worth, which formed my first conscious introduction to the legitimate stage. Sir John Martin Harvey, a splendid rep- resentative of the British school of actors, characterized by culture, intelligence and faultless diction, produced Oedipus Rex, Hamlet, and The Burgomaster of Stilemonde. Marlowe and Sothern gave a full Shakespeare repertory that included an adequate Twelfth Night, a traditional Hamlet, a vigorous Merchant of Venice, and a truly magnilicent Romeo and Juliet. Also in that memorable year, Eleanora Duse gave one of her unforgettable farewell tours: it was indeed the last, but the brighter recollection of her Ellida in Ibsen's Donna del Mare outshines her Mrs. Alving in Spettri the succeeding year. Those were the balmiest days of the Moscow Art Theatre, when fad and fashion unwittingly permitted the production of genuine art, and other idols waiting to be laurelecl had not yet urged their claims successfully. The scenes I85l from the Brothers Karamazou with Katchaloff, Leonidoff, and Tarasova I shall compare,-if my memory fails me not,- Ulqot a chancef' -with the C1uild's recent effort. Barrymore did his serviceable Dane, Jane Cowl and Rollo Peters were successfully Maeterlincked in the now beautiful, now grotesque Pelleas and Melisande, and, nnally, three great artist-technicians produced the dramatic masterpiece of the decade, The Mz'racle. To tell you all that The Miracle signifies and implies would take even more time than the author whose play we are suffering has presumed to take for his cerebral deliquescence. Suffice it to say that The Miracle is the only play of this century capable of producing a profound, simple, and communal emotion comparable to that of ancient or medieval drama, and that it achieves not by copying past ideas and forms but by the masterly combination of modern view- point and permanent subject matter, conveyed in a new technical form adapted to'our sensibility. This is as concise and unintelligible as I can be on this point. Strangely enough, at this juncture, a man on the stage whom I had not noticed before, began to cry in agonized tones: I can't understand it: oh! God! let me be, it's too much for me! I can't understand it! He appeared deeply moved, but as I could not allow the concerns of an utter stranger to interfere with my peace of mind, I went on, regardless of his plight. That season, 1923-24, rich as it was in traditionary offerings, was no less prolific in modern productions. Chief among the sinners was Hampden's Cyrano, a perfect piece of acting and directing doubtless, but hollower and' shallower than ever as a play. Molnar supplied a good deal of Austro- Hungarian froth, with Very little Munchen beer underneath it. Heavenly and Earthly Love suggested Barrie waltzing on the Danube. The Swan was not so ludicrous,-satisfactory entertainment, in fact. Pirandello and Galsworthy both continued to prove that an author with a reputation is worth ten with talent,-as far as fooling the public is concerned. Lonsdale's Spring Cleaning was a piece of conscientious inconsequentiality, and Maxwell Anderson, who had not yet put in a claim to a place in the composite picture of the Great American Dramatist, contented himself with a marital tragedy of some solidity. Of the vested groups I recall only the Guilds production of The Failures by Lenormand, interesting surely, stirring or thoughtful, no. Ben Ami and Winifred Lenihan, however, were more than capable. The Provincetown reopened with MacGowan and O'Neill at the helm, and All God's Chillun in the hold, Strindberg's ironic Spook Sonata provided a pleasing accompani- ment, if a bit thin and wiry. Lastly, Columbia was, as noblesse oblige, repre- sented on Broadway not only by the pylons at 116th Street, but by Hatcher Hughes' Hell Bent For Heaven, a faithful and powerful delineation of our somewhat rugged compatriots t'other side of the Alleghenies if X X Those electroliersf' sighed my companion, atrocious In fact, they were slowly lighting up, for the curtain had descended amidst a burst of applause in which, in justice to my character, I must assert I had no share. It was, so a logical inference informed me, the intermission. Do you think, my friend said, he will ever clear himself in the eyes of the girl? Do you think, I replied after a moment's stare, that I would have brought you here if I had not known that the play was above reproach? Very much hurt, partly by his impertinent question, and partly by the unnatural folding up of my legs to at into the alotted space, I stretched, and, dauntless, went on. I86l ACT II Of course, great expectations are by definition rewarded with disap- pointment. The year 1924, however remarkable politically, socially, economi- cally, or archeologically, was flat dramatically. In Spring, more or less, we enjoyed the kidding of Anna Cora Mowatt's Fashion, never realizing in the brash thoughtlessness of youth, how sad it really was. We did not sadden, as a matter of fact, till we saw the fine artists of the Comedie Francaise, headed by Eeraudy, shabbily treated by managers and public alike. The scenery of Les Affaires Sont les Affaires was a disgrace to civilization. The revival of O'Neill's Emperor Jones was more cheering, especially since Paul Robeson, who is worth histrionically, twelve Gilpins, played the title role. Mrs. Fiske, though, looked wretched in Helena's Boys, but recovered sufficiently to do Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary most charmingly. The single achievement of that hazy period was Masse Mensch, an adap- tation of the German of Ernst Toller, and a decidedly effective social present- ment of the revolutionary viewpoint. Its rather ponderous form, considered forceful by some, others found indigestible, and ran to that other, lighter German importation, The Beggar on Horseback. Then there was a play by two literary personages, whom I shall forbear to mention, whose sole merit lay in its thoroughly descriptive title: The Awful Mrs. Eaton. Then also, there were Mz'ni'clz with Phyllis Povah and The Little Angel, with Mildred MacLeod, and by Ernest Vajda, whose aura of Fata Morgana days was gently dimming until complete dissolution in Grounds for Divorce.-- Mr. Vajda was, like Molnar before him, and Werfel after him, the unfortunate victim of those periodic fits of inconstant passion Broadway experiences for foreign and preferably exotic playwrights. The last of the Ballets Russes, a highly successful and really innovating form of visual entertainment, was offered by Anna Pavlowa in Don Quixote. It lacked dash and conviction, but the principle of its florescence was there latent. Again, Mediocrity distributed her gifts imparitally to Pirandello when he wrote Naked, a compound of piffle and sniffle: to Arthur Wing Pinero when he concocted The Second Mrs. Tanqueray, revived by Ethel Barrymore in spite of the heroine's sensible suicideg and to Eden Philpotts when he committed The Farmer's Wz'fe, notable only because Mr. and Mrs. Coburn and Perry Ivins were in it. My friend here recalled me to earth by observing in a whisper that the officers of the law were on the track of the lost papers, and that the ushers might object to my continued speaking aloud during the progress of the playg not an unfair supposition, but one which I could not, obviously, entertain. If I kept up my buzz, I argued, it might distract the attention of the villain from his evil pursuits, and that of the audience from the play, two achievements commendable on the face of things and personally agreeable to me. Revivals, I therefore boomed once more on the ether, were plentiful during the next half year, that is to say, from September, l924, to the end of the year. Let me enumerate them briefly, for without revivals and without the plays copied from, or based on the plays worthy to be revived, Broadway would- not produce more than two plays a year, not counting the girlflesh exhibitions for connoisseurs. Outside of What Price Gloryf, the first of the trench profanity series, Cvery well done, too,j there was only Desire Under the Elms that was in any sense new or relevant to the theoretic American dramatic CContinued on page II Ad sectionj I 37 l Now! Now! BY Woob MCCLURE NE April afternoon, when the warm grass and flower-drenched .ragga . . . atmosphere had become very seductive, I found myself in the main library puzzling over some economics. Gradually becoming dreamier with my thoughts of cool breezes, sunshine and beauty ' WKSNQS3 of nature, I finally fell asleep. When I awoke it was after four so I hurried over to John Jay Hall to do some work on the next issue of Jester. Arriving at the Hall I was met by Dante, none other. I was puzzling over this supernatural phenomenon, when he asked me if I wished to enter. I answered in the affirmative and we entered. At the door we were met by Embury Jones, who, with a giant punch, cut out a large L, signifying lunch, from my overcoat. Inside the entrance everything was pitch black except for a' red glow which gave off intense heat. Enough illumination was given off to see the forms of Don Dobbie and Cliff Curran throwing copies of Jester to the center of the glowing mass. I later learned that the Jesters gave out the heat themselves. Leaving this glowing mass we proceeded into the darkness once again. Everything was dark except for a green spotlight effect in the distance. Coming closer we discovered the form of Embury Jones in the green glow who branded a large D in my forehead, while muttering One breakfast. A purple iridescent fog-like haze was all we saw after leaving Jones. Coming closer we discerned Phil Humphrey stirring a cauldron which contained a red undulating molten mass of gold, pearls, diamonds, and the entrails of various animals. Curiously enough, when he pulled up an entrail a crowd of inmates gathered around him would scream with joy-and when he would take up a ladle of gold and show it to them they would show signs of scorn. Leaving Phil we plunged once again into the darkness. Once again Embury Jones stopped us. This time he tattoed a large B on my back, muttering in fiendish glee, 'iBreakfast. In the blackness we could discern in a faint phosphorescent glow a large staircase made out of black marble. Climbing up this we kept up step after step until our legs ached with fatigue. At the top of the staircase a game of cards was in progress. Jack Lorch, Fred Uhrbrock, Bob Curtiss and a large yellow cat with flaming green eyes. The cat had most of the money in front of him and the other three were plan- ning revenge. I puzzled over the significance of this. Travelling further on the new plane we had reached, the next inmate to be seen was Cecil Hopkins in the center of a pool of burning red lava, from which flames issued sporadically. I noticed he had on a pair of yellow asbestos spats and was reading synonyms from an asbestos thesaurus to the eager ears of Jack Barzun. I Dante next took me by the hand and we made our way to a large door over which was the sign: HTwiddy's Hotsy Totsy Dancing Dolls. Before we could enter in we were again stopped by Embury Jones who shaved all the I88I hair from the top of my head except the outline of a large D at the same time crooning wildly Dinner. Entering within the door we were met by Bill Twiddy himself, who in- formed us that the show he was putting on was the knobs. Wait 'n'you'll see the babies, he added. I noticed that the audience consisted of only the three of us. A moment later the curtain went up and the Varsity Show pony ballet came out and did a few steps. Dante confided in me that this was the eternal punishment meted out to Twiddy. I wanted to go over and see Henry Grant to see how well his feminine makeup appeared, but Dante hastened me away. Leaving the dimly lighted burlesque stage, we entered the pitch blackness again, traveling onward. Finally a dim ember light far away expanded in size as we approached until we discerned a large symphony orchestra with a con- ductor. They were about to begin the selection-I noticed that roughly one- half of the organization was made up of apish looking individuals, the other half fairly intelligent. Arthur Bowles was the conductor. He raised his baton. A Mozart sym- phony was started and proceeded smoothly for the first eight measures-then Henry Grant and Francis Utting, the Hute players, hit wrong notesg the French horns, Nicoll and Swahn, blew in duck-like fashion, and Nobes, the trap drum' mer, began hitting his cowbells and cymbals with great gusto. All efforts of the conductor were to no avail-each one played his instrument louder and louder, till Art rushed from the conducting platform. Thinking I could suc- cessfully lead the group, I stepped up to the platform, took the baton and raised it. Just then a piccolo player and a flute player walked out of the orchestra. I motioned violently with my baton-nothing happened. I stepped off the platform and was about to attempt to beat up some of the more noisy ones when a sweet feminine voice came very faintly from the distance. It became louder in a few minutes. The orchestra began to fade away slowly, all the noise ceasing. I was again in the main library X X at the feminine voice was inquiring X it would I please remove my head from her notebook?

In the Spring elections, George Brown had been elected President: Stewart Cham- bers, Vice-Presidentg Robert Cauldwell, Secretary: and Ralph :-sung:-is F T ' urey, reasurer, for the coming year. I All the activities connected solely with Junior Class were concentrated in Junior Week, and the Junior Prom which came as a climax to a week of social activities. Beginning on Monday, February 21, and ending on Friday, Feb- ruary 25, the Junior Class held the center of social life at Columbia College. On Monday night of Junior Week it attended the Columbia-Dartmouth basket- ball game, and then adjourned to John Jay Hall where a dance was held until l A. M. Each afternoon the various fraternity houses were packed with gaily bedecked girls and their jolly Junior escorts, who swarmed from one tea dance to the next, and passed on the merits of each. Several of the houses made an innovation in this year's program by giving evening dances instead of the customary tea-dances. The Junior Prom was held in the grand ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, where so many previous Junior Proms had been held. Over two hundred couples danced to the tuneful harmonies of the twelve-piece orchestra led by Michael Markels. At midnight, the grand march was played, and, led by President George Brown, the Class marched into the dining room for sup- per. At the conclusion of the supper, which was on a par with those served at previous proms, as also were the favors, the election of William Madden and Ralph Furey to Student Board was announced. Dancing was then resumed and lasted until about 4 A. M.,'when the assembled crowd broke up, and another Junior Prom had passed into history. George Hammond was Chair- man of Junior Week, and the Chairmen of the committees connected with Junior Week were: Owen Brown, Promenade: Arthur Smith, Entertainmentg Ralph Furey, Finance: Melvin Lyter, Publicity: and Emerick Hollowell, Patroness Committee. If one turns to the other fields of undergraduate activity, the deeds accom- plished by members of the Class of 1928 are everywhere evident. Throughout the two previous years of college life, the members of the Junior Class had been busily engaged in building up a reputation which will favorably compare with the best of bygone classes, and set a new mark of achievement which will serve as an inspiration to the lower classes, and classes yet to come, to emulate its example. The center of attraction during the: fall season was the gridiron, and the majority of men who acted in this outdoor arena for Columbia were drawn from the ranks of the Class of 'Z8. Bill Madden had the unusual distinction of being elected Captain of the Varsity football team at the end of his first year of Varsity football. Mount Norris, Fred Reiger, and Harry Kaplan were both his classmates and running mates, and this quartet performed with distinction in the backield. Captain-elect Ralph Furey and Jerome I-lick Brady held down the wing positions in fine style, and by his great work in the Cornell f1i551 game, Ralph Furey engraved his name in gilded letters on Columbia football history. Jim Reynolds, Tom Kerrigan, Jules Alkoff, and Bill Adler performed in the front line with great credit, and in the distribution of football letters, the men of the Class of 1928 received the lion's share. On the basketball court, Bill Madden, Mount Norris, Fred Reiger, and Art Smith had performed, and constituted an integral part of last year's cham- pionship basket-ball team. It was around these men that this year's team was to have been formed. Bill Madden, Fred Reiger, Art Smith, and Tom XVatson have been playing all this season and have shown the spirit that pervades the Class of '28. The Spring baseball practice has brought out several veterans of last year's successful team, including Art Smith, pitching ace of the 1926 Varsity. Furey, Kunitz, Norris, and Whitaker have already made the Varsity grade, and will probably shine once more when Blue and White is represented on the diamond. ' Born, Hoey, Krupa, Jacobi, Ralf, and Von der Hyde have given their best Wherever a Columbia shell has been put on the water. N JUNIOR WEEK COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN BROWN SMITH HAMMOND LYTER ANGUS HOLLOWELL I Archambeau, Wasson and Bogle have shown their heels to more than one rival on the cinder-track, and have captured more than one field event. The minor sports have received a host of men from the ranks of 1928, and all have shown a true school and class spirit. In the realm of non-athletic activities, the members of the Junior Class have taken an important and ever increasing part. Within the past few weeks, the old order has given place to the new, and the policy of these activities will rest in the hands of the Junior Class. During its three years' stay at Morningside Heights, it has witnessed many changes.H lt was'the first to use the new Prosh rules and the last to go through the old rushing system. It has seen and experienced the completion of John fl66':I Jay Hall, and it will be its privilege to begin, for the first time, and complete an activity under its roof. Old East Hall is abandoned and Wears a mournful air of desolation. New buildings have sprung up on the Green, and the life at Columbia moves on. 1928 has taken over the leadership of most of the collegiate activities, and for the brief space of a year it will be the custodian of their progress and welfare, and then it will be its turn to pass them on to its successors. The Class of 1928 has also displayed a surprising apathy in regard to general class matters. The Black Avengers, the name that once struck a chill in the Preshman's heart, has degenerated into an inactive honorary society. The Van Ams have been less active than formerly, and a certain degree of laxness has been discernible in all class matters. lt is hoped that these details which lay in its power to remedy, may quickly be set aright by united class action.

But black caps and green cards were now the distinguishing features of the yearlings instead of black paint. Smarting under the memory of the class rush in which many were ren- dered shoeless, the new-comers turned out en masse for the tug-of-war and turned the tables on their opponents. However, lacking the experience of the second year men, the Class of 1929 lost the cane sprees by the margin of a single bout. During dinner week 150 men of the class journeyed to Harmon, New York, where they held their Freshman dinner undisturbed by the handfull of Sophomores who appeared on the scene. Discovering the location of the Soph dinner at Four Towers, a band of '29 men provided themselves with hundreds of eggs of questionable age and made the journey to Cedar Grove. When they arrived, however, the second-year men had left and the Sophomore Banquet had become history. For many years the Athletic Association has coped with the problem of supplying efficient student managers for the various teams. Plan after plan was tried with varying success. Last year an innovation took place in the selection of forty men from the Class of 1929 to form the newly-organized Blue Key Society. This society is composed only of Sophomore aspirants for managerial positions. At the end of their second year they cease to be members and forty men from the following class are chosen. This scheme was the most praiseworthy solution of the problem offered so far, and with the hearty co-operation of the '29 men has proved to be successful. ln the Held of athletics 1929 hung up some enviable records. The year- ling baseball team rode roughshod over all their opponents to be the third cub nine to complete the season without a defeat. The biggest single factor con- tributing to the team's success was the superb pitching of Joe Burke, who fanned 127 opponents in ten games. 1-le was supported in every game by the faultless fielding and heavy hitting of his teammates. Displaying a high quality of oarsmenship and wonderful stamina, the 1929 Freshman crew turned in a brilliant victory in the Derby regatta. The yearlings were hard pressed by the Penn Cubs, but nosed them out at the finish by a two-foot lead, covering the course in less time than the Varsity. ln the meet with the M. l. T. Freshman, the powerful yearling sweepswingers beat the Massachusetts cubs to the mark by two lengths. Their great victory at Poughkeepsie is well known. ln other sports, as well, the yearling teams were active, the track, basket- ball, and football teams all turning in successful performances. ln the field of minor sports, the wrestling team performed most capably, winning all but two of its meets. 1 With the close of the school year the Class of 1929 Wore their black caps t 1741: for the last time, and, leaving an enviable record behind them, moved on to the realm of the Sophomores. Returning to the Campus as second-year men, the Class of 1929 took up the task of Freshman subjugation with a will. They were no respectors of persons, for even high school valedictorians had to roll up their trousers with the rest and denounce the government or push pennies with their blackened noses. So heartily did '29 conduct the hazing and the class rush that the yearlings could not forget it, and in the tug-of-war they turned out in droves to drag their tormentors gleefully through the icy water. Toistill further avenge themselves, the Cubs wrested from their opponents the right to smoke class pipes by Winning 4 of the 7 cane spree bouts. Although the Class of 1929 failed to break up the Yearling Banquet, their laxity was atoned for by holding just as quiet ancl well-planned a dinner as the Cubs. Over a hundred Sophomores gathered in small groups at 180th Street, and rode by train to Scarsdale, where the dinner was held in the Donny Brook Lodge. The dinner committee, headed by Rousselot, hit upon the novel plan of secluding themselves in the Union Square Savings Bank until the even- ing of the dinner, when they left their lair for Scarsdale. Only one Sophomore was captured, and the dinner went oil' without a single Freshman appearing on the scene. Returning in triumph to the Campus, the Sophomores built a huge bonfire on South Field and sang and snake-danced around it till midnight. When the ballots case in the Spring l926 election for class officers had been counted, the following men were declared elected: Robert E. Speller, president: William Woodworth, vice-presidentg Thomas V. Haney, secretaryg and Howard G. Riley, treasurer. Owing to unfortunate circumstances, Speller had to obtain leave of absence for the 'second semester, and the leadership of the class fell into the hands of Woodworth. Spring found the Class of l929 busily engaged in impressing upon the Yearlings for the last time the spirit of humility, while they themselves were acquiring the political finesse of their elders, the Juniors.

After the staid and ultra-respectable reception tendered the Class of l930 by professors of the University, the unsuspecting yearlings ' u'5l'Olm became, with traditional suddenness, the guests of the Sophomores. The greenness of the new men disappeared beneath a liberal application of shoe polish, and the painted savages then performed primitive war dances to the solemn chanting of We Want .Milk . Other shameless cavemen indulged in petting parties with Alma Mater, while sprightly bare-foot goblins danced on the edge of the fountain basins. After these incongruities the uncouth appearance of the new men disappeared in the basins of the Campus lavatories, and a sober and determined class appeared. Smarting under their humiliation, they met their foe on the Held of battle in the class rush to emerge the proud, albeit shoeless victors. While the College was wrangling over the abolition of Frosh rules, the innocent men concerned went their peaceful way unashamed of their black and green regalia which the college voted overwhelmingly to uphold. When the furore over the rules had subsided, the mystic circle of Mu Pi, known by the Freshmen as the dreaded Black Avengers, duly warned recalcitrant yearlings that infringement of the regulations would be summarily dealt with. Satisfied with the physical prowess of the Class of 1930 as demonstrated in the class rush, the Sophomores tested the yearlings' vocal ability in the annual Song Fest, A faltering rendition of the lyrics led to the copious use of black paint by their judges. . Organized Warfare between the Freshmen and their opponents was renewed once more with the traditional tug-of-war which had been postponed on account of Queen Marie's visit to the University. The battle started calmly enough with some hundred and sixty yearlings at one end of the rope, and seventy odd daring Sophomores guarding the other end. The signal was given and the second-year men began to pass, one by one, through the stream of icy water from the hose which was directed at the middle of the rope. Seeing that brawn was of no avail against such odds, the wily Sophomores tried a series of desperate cross-field rushes, in which both goal posts were razed to the ground and sundry other damage done. These rushes did not save them from defeat, however, and the Freshmen were awarded the victory. After having spent over two months at Columbia, and having become accustomed to the routine, the fraternity rushing season began for the new men. For a period of a week and a half the various houses invited first-year men to luncheons, smokers, and other affairs at which the parties concerned could size each other up. At the end of this time bids were mailed and men were pledged. By capturing four of the seven bouts the Class of l930 won the Cane Sprees, and thereby gained the right to smoke class pipes after Wash- ington's birthday. The sprees were bitterly contested, the winner not being decided until the Freshman heavyweight had wrested the cane from his oppo- nent in the nnal match. When the final ballots had been cast in the voting for class officers, the following men were elected: Edward P. Joyce, president: Joseph Hagen, vice- president, Elbert A. Twaddell, Jr., secretary, and William Blaisdell, treasurer. H1821 With her own officers at the helm, 1930 went ahead with even greater success than before. After the lull of examinations and the bustle of registering were over, the Class of 1930 scored a brilliant success by holding the quietest and most peaceable Freshman banquet held in recent years. The efficient management of the Dinner Committee completely baffled the second-year men who tried desperately to break up the dinner. By the old ruse of supplying a little-known Sophomore with a Freshman cap and card, the wily Sophs learned that the Freshmen were to meet at 42nd Street. A small band of Sophomores tried to surprise the yearlings, but were outnumbered and forced to beat a hasty retreat, not, however, until two of their number had been captured by the Freshmen, who then drove off with them in buses to Coney Island. Here the dinner Went off without a hitch at the Hotel Shelburne. not a Sophomore being present with the exception of the two hostages who were forced to amuse their captors during the course of the dinner. At 10.15 the yearlings left the Shelburne and started back to the Campus, being able to boast that not a single member of their Dinner Committee had been captured. ln athletics the Class of 1930 was as successful as in other activities. At the close of a short football season, the Freshman team hung up a creditable record. Although the team lost two of the five games played, these were both by close scores. The encounter with the Ithacan Cubs was played in a pouring rain and resulted in a 10-0 defeat. However, during the season, the Frosh scored 105 points as against 26 for their opponents. Since the team contained a wealth of material, men from 1930 should figure prominently on future Lion grid teams. The success of the yearling wrestling team and the basket- ball and swimming were other high spots of the season.

UTTING, '27 TTRGQT' HEN the 1926 COLUMBIAN made its appearance on the Cam us, along with Spring and a highly successful Varsity Show, Coliim- b1a's basket-ball team was approaching the end of one of its best seasons. On March 13th a victory over Yale, by the score of 41 'Q to 31, closed the schedule and gave the Lion the championship of the Eastern Intercollegiate League. Two weeks later the team chose John T. Lorch, '27, Captain of the 1927 season. During the following week the base- ball team won its opening game against Seton Hall and started on the road to Columbia's second pennant of the year. At the end of the season John T. Lorch was elcted to his second captaincy for 1927. Another championship was taken by the rifie team which, undefeated throughout its schedule, was awarded the Intercollegiate Rifle Association title. Cn the evenings of the 22nd, 23rd and 24-th of April the Class of 1928 presented as its Sophomore Show, Frederick Schneider's play, Tongue Tied. This play, produced under the direction of Harold Clausen, was an excellent Vehicle for the talents of a large cast headed by Edward Mammen. The capture of two relay championships at the Penn Relays was the high point in the Lion's Track Season. Captain Joe Campbell, assisted by Gus Jaeger, Stan Deck and Earle Starkey, ran off with the Sprint Medley Title. Columbia's first Two-Mile victory was won by a team composed of Campbell, Jaeger, Brick and Theobald. The crew's season opened on May 8th at the Derby Regatta. The Varsity came in third to Yale and Penn, but the '29 Erosh boat showed the beneficial effect of the Glendons' tutelage and won a thrilling race. A week later the first Varsity victory since 1923 was gained on the Harlem, when M. 1. T. was defeated. At Lake Carnegie, two weeks later, the Varsity again lost the Childs Cup Races to Penn and Princeton. The Erosh again defeated the strong Penn Frosh, making their third victory of the year. During May, elections claimed the attention of the non-athletic organiaa- tions. Spectator selected Clifford E. Nobes to be its Editor-in-Chief during its 50th year. Cieorge T. Scriba was elected Managing Editor, William E. Petersen, Business Manager: Philip B. Thurston, Assistant Managing Editor, and Dewitt E. Untermeyer, Advertising Manager. Glee Club placed its des- tiny in the hands of William E. McDonald, '27, and Forman R. Slack. was re-elected Manager. Varsity,,' with prospects of improvement during 1926-27, gave to Jacques M, Barzun, '27, the position of Editor-in-Chief and selected to aid him a Managing Board of Seniors, which included Phillip B. Thurston, Robert C. Schnitzer and Raphael E. Kalvin. Jester chose Wood McClure Editor-in-Chief, Rockwell K. DuMoulin, '28, Managing Editor: Arthur Howell, Business Manager, '28, retaining Henry A. Grant, '27, as its art editor. Morningside chose Roy M. Z. Moskowitz, '27, to be its Editor- in-Chief for the coming year. COLUMBIAN had already decided upon Arthur R. Bowles to edit this volume, while Leo E. Brown and Clifford F. Curran were to be the other members of the Managing Board. Bummy Rous was appointed Art Editor. .

Earlier in the Spring, at the first Student Board Elections, John T. Lorch and Clifford E. Nobes had been elected. Now Fred Uhrbrock, George French, Palmer Wright, Myron Sesit and Charles Bullard were selected to complete the board. Class officers were also elected at the same time. The Philolexian Society inaugurated its 125th Anniversary Year with an Alumni Dinner at the Columbia Club. The regular annual dinner was held several weeks after, and at that time Phillip B. Thurston assumed the presidency of the organization while the ceremony of signing the scroll took place. On the same evening Columbia's Alumni attended their annual Spring homecoming. President Butler spoke and Dean Hawkes presented the group of Freshmen who had been selectd to the Van Am Club. The Notes and Keys Cup, awarded annually to the undergraduate class singing best as a group, was won by the Class of l927. Columbia's l72nd Commencement opened on Sunday, May 30th, when Chaplain Knox preached the Baccalaureate Sermon in St. Paul's Chapel. On Monday the College's 61st Class Day was held in the Main Gymnasium. Dwight Miner delivered the Valedictory and President Butler and Dean Hawkes addressed the class. Elaborate preparations had been made for the University's lirst outdoor graduation ceremonies for the next day. A speaker's platform with loudspeakers overhead was erected around the statue of Alma Mater, special flagpoles erected to Hy the colors of many nations, thousands and thou- sands of chairs and benches were placed on the plaza, on 116th Street and on South Feld. Although the skies looked dubious, the Weather Bureau issued report of no rain and the preparations went on. But just as the Academic Parade was entering the plaza, a deluge of rain broke and foreshortened the presentation of degrees. Honorary degrees were presented to Governor Smith and other notables at a special ceremony in the President's room. A band con- THE 112ND COMMENCEMENT I 191 J cert in the Gymnasium took the place of the elaborate Campus night festivities which had been planned. .

At the same time the Columbia baseball team closing its season, tied Dartmouth for lirst place in the League. The Poughkeepsie Regatta, on June 28, marked the end of the crew season and the cessation of College activities until September. . Columbia's '29 boat won the Frosh event in this meet, and the Varsity showed great im- 7' provement with a new combination by tak- l ing fifth place, beating out Wisconsin, Cali- fornia and Cornell. During the Summer Session the new Physics building on the Green was opened. This is the first of the fifteen-story buildings that are to be erected on the four corners of the Campus. It contains accommodations for many classes and will house the Departments of Physics, Astronomy and Psychology.

The cornerstone of the Casa Italiana was laid on August 26th by President Butler, in the presence of Baron Giacomo di Martino, Italian Ambassador to the U. S. On October 4th, the 700th Anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi, the house was dedicated to the 'Ahigh spiritual glory of that Saint. The building was erected through the efforts of a committee of prominent Italians, and the site on ll7th Street and Amsterdam Ave- nue was donated by the University. Pur- niture and works of art were contributed by King Victor Emmanuel and Premier Benito Nlussolini.

October fifth marked the end of Nicholas Murray Butler's twenty-fifth year as President of the University. lt was in October of 1901 that he became acting President, and in the following April that he was made President. The class of 1930 made its choral debut on October l5th, when the Sophomores tested the new men in their knowledge of Columbia's songs, On the evening of the same day the year's first football rally was held in anticipation of the morrow's encounter with Ohio State. The first setf back of the season was req ceived in this game. The following week was marked by the presence of several distinguished visitors. On the l9th a team of debat- ers from Cambridge appeared against Columbia's speakers in a no-decision debate. Queen Marie of Rumania was re- ceived at the University, signed the guest-book in the Library and made a tour of inspection of the Campus. As soon as she had made her de- parture, and the decorations had been appropriately al- tered, Arthur F. Winnington- Ingram, Bishop of London, was received by President iButler and given an hon- CASA ITALIANA Ofafy degree of Doctor of THE WVINNERS f1931 Sacred Theology, A few days later Sir Gil- P'.

The Frosh were, as usual, victorious over H' -',' I 'J: ' lvllu innocent onlookers and the inanimate South ':4 'l ' ' ' A ' i V Field surroundings as well as over the vainly HIP!

On October 29 a rally was held in preparation for the next day's Cornell game, and it had its effect, for on the 30th Columbia won her first Victory in 24 years over her upstate rivals. A fren- . D. zied display of enthusiasm followed this tri- umph and Polo Ground goal posts were carried to the campus, and a mammoth bon- nre was kept burning on South Field until far into the night. A victory over William and Mary on the following Saturday seemed inevitable, yet it was by only a small margin that Columbia overcame the strong opposition. The next week a large group of undergraduates, includ- CREW ASPIRANTS ing the band, journeyed to Phily and were disappointed when Penn beat the team, 3 to O. It only remained for Syracuse to gain a 19-to-2 victory on . . Thanksgiving Day. However, both these defeats were made up for by the outstanding victory of the season and the decade--that over Cornell. On December 6th, Ralph Purey, '28, was-chosen to lead the football team for the following year, The Glee Club, whose season opened on November 15th at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, appeared on Thanksgiving at the Town Hall. This concert was an artistic, KEEPING ON THE STRAIGHT social and apparently a financial success, and showed a vast improvement in the Club over past seasons. Jester announced the resignation of Rockwell DuMoulin, and the election of Clifford P. Curran to the office of Manag- . . ing Editor. Rushing occupied the attention of the campus fraternities for two weeks following Thanksgiving. This was the second year of the new rushing system and the results brought no new light on the efficiency of the plan. Moving picture stars invaded the Cam- pus on December 2 and 9. On the former date Lois Moran was photographed with the Junior Class, and a week later Pauline Garon sponsored the Sophomores. These actresses ,na , SlNG, FROSH! SING! L 194 J 'followed the precedent .set by Madge Ken- nedy and Helen Ford, who posed with the Classes of 1926 and 1927, respectively. On December 3 and 4, Philolexian gave its 125th Anniversary production, three per- formances of Shakespeare's King John. The society, in so doing, returned to its orig- inal custom of presenting Elizabethan drama, which it had broken during the previous two years. lVlrs. Estelle H. Davis directed the production with her usual skillful technique, ff, and outstanding performances were given by 'X Phil C. Humphrey, in the title role, Robert C. Schnitzer, Edward W. Mammen, Hilda Muggli, of Barnard, and Richard Kilcullen, of the Horace Mann School. On December 10th, the 1927 basket- I ball season opened with a defeat by St. John's. In the second game, on the 15th, the team beat Rutgers, but lost its Hrst league Lois MORAN WSH-S THE CAMPUS game to Princeton. ' A victory in the annual Erosh-Soph Cane Sprees on the 17th of December . .f.. gave the Class of 1930 the right to smoke class pipes after Washington's Birthday, and fairly well established their athletic suprem- acy over the Sophomores. Elections were held by the Freshmen during the same week, in which Edward Joyce was chosen president of the class. Joseph Hagem, Elbert A. Twaddell and William Blaisdell were also elected to hold office for the remainder of the year. On January 20, Columbia's fencing A ' team broke into print by winning the Na- DOROTHY STONE SHOWS THEM HOW tional Junior Sabres Title. A team com- posed of Captain Dudley Evans, Norman Cohn and John G. Ely accomplished this victory and were the first college team ever to win the Stoll Cup. Charles Evans Hughes, Justice of the Supreme Court, and former Secretary of State of the U. S., visited the Campus on January 25 and, despite the fact that ' mid-year examinations were in progress, 1 was greeted by a large audience in the Mc- Millin Theatre. During the lull in extra-curricular ac- tivities caused by the mid years, the student organizations transferred their headquar- ters from East Hall to John Jay, ,Dinner week, beginning on January 7, renewed Freshman-Sophomore rivalry. The Class of 1930 held their dinner on Tuesday evening at Coney Island and were entertained by two Sophomore prisoners. 1 f 51951 On the next evening the second-year men dined at Scarsdale without the Freshi man's knowledge and celebrated their victory by a bonfire on South Field. At the same time as the Freshmen were dining informally the main dining- room in John Jay Hall was formally opened. Physically, all the fraternities were present as groups and many Alumni attended. President Butler spoke as did Dean Hawkes. Clifford T. Nobes and Kenneth H. Abernathy also spoke as representatives of the student body, The following Saturday, Lin- coln's Birthday, the rest of the building was dedicated by the Alumni, who returned on that day for their annual reunion. Athletic events, meetings, luncheons and an organ recital were among the features arranged for the enter- tainment of the Alumni and the Van Am Club displayed to the guests the additions and improvements to the Campus during the year. The Class of 1892 anticipated the general reunion by holding one of their own on the preceding Thursday evening. Among the guests were the men who have occupied the room in Hartley Hall endowed by the class, and awarded each year to a member of the new Senior Class. John Lorch, Chairman of the Student Board and Captain of the baseball and basketball teams, was the 1926 to 1927 resident of the room. Meanwhile Betty Beh'ave , the 1927 Varsity Show, written by William P. Smith, '29, and Ferrin L. Fraser, '27, went into rehearsal. Hal Forde, noted on Broadway for his clever work in connection with the stage, was appointed book coach while Paul Wi.nkoop, '26, was selected to coach the pony ballet. .. ,.,, 1 . LOOKING NORTH FROM THE NEW PHYSICS BUILDING, SHOWING THE NEW MEDICAL CENTER IN THE BACKGROUND 51961 During the last week of preparation Miss Dorothy Stone, the Well known actress and daughter of Fred Stone, came to the campus to help coach the solo dancers as well as the pony outfit. The Show opened at the Waldorf on the 8th of March for its traditional one week run. The production immediately scored a big hit and each performance was attended by a record-breaking crowd. Just previous to the opening of Varsity Show, the Juniors took the center of Campus attraction with their Junior Week festivities. Many changes were made from the usual program of events. Several fraternities held evening dances instead of tea-dances in order to better distribute the good times and a very successful dance was held in the new John Jay Ball-room. Theater Parties were also arranged by individual groups. But the big event came on the last day of the period when the Prom was given at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, February 25. It was very well managed and broke the ordinary run of events by being finan- cially a success. Following the custom of many years, the names of the two men elected to non-voting membership on Student Board in the first Spring Elections were announced during the mid-night dinner. The lucky men turned out to be William Madden, Captain of the 1926 Football Team, and Ralph Furey, Treasurer of the Class and Captain-Elect of the l927 Football Team. After the Prom, the campus became very quiet for a while. Then, with the opening of April, the banquet season started. The Seniors held their class dinner in John Jay Hall Banquet Room, April 6th. From then on various groups such as Grapplers and Dolphins held their Banquets. At the moment that COLUMBIAN made history by going to press on sched- ule, Philolexian was entertaining its guest members for the annual Under-class try-outs. Nacoms and Sachems released the names of their new initiates and the campus turned its thoughts to politics and the coming Spring Elections. NIGHT LIGHTS P L 197 1 JOHN JAY HALL CStudents' Hallj The outstanding event of the college year was the completion of John Jay Hall, the center of the social life of Columbia College. For years, it had been felt that if the College were to maintain its position as an entity in the University, that a build- ing of this sort was a necessity. Yet it remained a dream whose realization seemed unthinkably dis- Kant. Beginning in 1918, organized agitation for the erection of the building had been carried on. With the growth of the College and of the University, East Hall and the old dormitories were inadequate for the housing of the undergraduates and their extra- curricular life. The Trustees expressed their sympathy but declared that the expense incurred would be too great to allow the erection of a Student's Hall. As originally conceived, the building was to be erected in the center of the 114th Street side of South Field, and was to contain a gymnasium, libraries, meeting rooms and activities offices. Funds were not obtainable. however, so this idea had to be abandoned. In November, 1924, plans were submitted which provided for dormitory rooms in the building as a source of revenue.- This scheme was approved by the Trustees and the plans were made public on December 9th, 1924. On March 26, 1925, ground was broken for the new building on the northwest corner of 114th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. Dean Hawkes turned the first spadeful of earth, in the presence of the entire student body of the College. Albert W. Putnam, '97, chairman of the Trustees' Committee on Buildings and Grounds, and Gen. William Barclay Parsons, '79, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, made addresses, in which they recounted the history of the agitation for the building and outlinedthe purposes of the new hall. Royal J. Cooney, '25, then Chairman of the Student Board, expressed the sen- timents of the Student body when he announced that cz happy dream had turned into cz reality. A few minutes later the building was prematurely christened When, as the steam shovels started their work, a crowd of the onlookers was doused by a shower of water which had condensed in the exhaust tube of one of the machines. For almost two years after that date, construction of the building pro- gressed. At times strikes and other unfor-L, . seen exigencies suspended the work for what seemed interminable periods to the students, Grumblings were heard on all sides, and it was feared that the building would not be completed by September, 1926, the date for which its opening had been promised. The construction was done in good time, how- ever, and most of the building was ready for occupancy on the scheduled date. r 5 In October, 1925, the cornerstone of the Q . L, H 1 'ln-.. hall was laid by President Butler, in the pres- H A ' A A ' 51981 ence of a considerable group of students and faculty members. This act seemed to sym- . bolize Columbia's share in the erection of the building, and to recognize John Jay Hall as a part of the University.

The remainder was completed by Christmas, S 'i and the work on the social portion was in- . r . hi tensified. During the examination period in J - January, l927, the activities moved to their new headquarters. East Hall was abandoned, to be converted into a home for the new School of Library Service. The dining rooms, cafeteria and grill were opened on the first day of the new semester, February 2. All residents of Hartley, Livingston and John Jay were required to eat dinner in the main dining room five nights a week and, although protests were universal beforehand, satisfaction prevailed after the first meal. On February 8 the dining room was formally opened by President Butler at a dinner attended by all the Campus fraternities and the entire under- graduate group. The private dining rooms received their first usage on Feb- ruary 10, When the Class of 1892 held its reunion dinner in one of them. On Lincoln's Birthday the building was opened to the Alumni at their Annual Spring homecoming, and the gifts of the Classes of l87l were unveiled. John Jay Hall, being on one of the four corners of the Campus, is fifteen stories in height. Architecturally it is of the same type as most of the other University buildings, and is built of the same sort of burnt red brick and sand- stone. The first three stories are set aside for social purposes, and the remainder for dormitory rooms and an innrmary. The dormitory quarters, although smaller than the rooms in Hartley and Livingston Cdue to the fact that there are over 40 rooms on each floorj offer conveniences not found in the older buildings. There is, for example, a tele- phone booth for incoming calls on each floor, and a buzzer in each room to summon the occupant to the 'phone In the ofice there is an individual locked mail box for each resident. The furniture in the rooms is new, and therefore especially attractive to one accustomed to the old furnishings of Hartley or Livingston. Large clothes-presses take the place of the old-fashioned ward- robes and have, along with the chiffoniers, locks which guard against burglary. There is in each room 5 a central ceiling light, as well as a wall lamp-socket. E ' A transom insured proper ventilation. The floors 4,:,J are of a composition which makes fire practically an impossibility, yet fire alarm gongs are loud and nu- merous enough throughout the building to safeguard all residents in case of fire. On the top floor is to be located a modernly equipped inlirmary with quarters for a night staff so that the campus will be provided with service for emergency cases. f .. iq.. 'The social life of the College is to be centered ' 1, -35 - ' ' - .-... V.-.I1. 1.. -4 - I1 in the lower part of the building. In the basement 1. . -' is the grill and an informal lounging room. The Q grill is beautifully done in imitation of an old Eng- f199j lish tavern tap-room. The ceiling has real oak beamsg the floor is of tile, the windows are of the old casements style with leaded panes. The pillars which support the ceiling are likewise of solid oak. The olden atmos- phere of the room is further preserved by high-backed benches, rough-hewn tables, and felectricj candelabras which give a soft light. A cozy feeling is lent by a large open fire place, the gift of the Class of 1915 in mem- ory of its members who were killed in the Great War. The lobby of the main entrance on the ground floor is large and furnished with mas- sive chairs and setees. A huge rug, woven especially for Columbia, bears a King's Crown in its center. Windows are also pro- , vided in the lobby for the distribution of tickets and magazines. The walls are pan- eled with oak. A balcony overhangs the lobby on three sides, while 'tall glass doors encases in handsome metal work, located in a partition of glass which runs up to the second story level are on the fourth. . V Out of the lobby open doors into the Dining Hall, to the steam tables, of the Cafeteria and to the lobby of the dormitory ollice. The dining hall is. two stories high a-nd a specially constructed ceiling together with composition floors tends to absorb sound, thus providing quiet. The room which takes up the whole Broadway end of the building, is surrounded on three sides byg mammoth leaded glass windows. On the fourth side may be seen the balcony which is really the third or mezzanine floor. The tables in the dining hall are of various sizes, seating from twenty people down to those for two people. Clean, linen is provided each day and usually each table has a vase of flowers. On the opposite, that is Amsterdam end, are the main lounge and the concert hall or ball room. The lounge is deeply carpeted with large rugs, and the furniture is of the over-stuffed Variety. A large ireplace, which the Class of 1881 College, Mines and Political Science, donated is the center of at- traction, and on its mantel are or- naments given by Stephen G. Wil- liams, '8l. In the upper part of the Hreplace is carved the words which express the whole spirit of the build- ing: . - l THE ENTRANCE Hold Fast to the Spirit of Youth Let Years to Come Do What They May . Large doors connect the lounge with the concert hall, and when these are opened the two rooms provide a a very pleasant place to hold a dance. DINING HALL Lzooj The floors are of hard wood and are especially adapted to that past time. T The concert hall, or ball room. as some call it, is like the lounge and dining hall, two stories high. It is meant to be used for class and club meetings as well as a rehearsal place for the various musical organizations. The mezanine floor contains four private dining rooms which are reserved for such occasions as Spec- tator and fraternity banquets, and are assigned rent-free to such groups. These rooms may be opened into one making one large banquet hall. A warming kitchen is provided for these rooms and automatic dumbwaiters bring the supplies from the kitchens in the basement. All the cooking for the grill. dining room and breakfast rooms is done in these main kitchens which are fully equipped in the most modern manner. There are electric mixing machines, meat choppers, ice-cream freezers. There are elaborate pastry kitchens in which most of the breads, cakes and desserts are made. There is also a central refrigerating plant which consists of three large compressors. Prom this plant pipes lead to the various refrigerators in the basement, dining-room and mezzanine and also to an ice freezing plant where all the ice used in the building is manufactured. All the stoves and warming tables have hoods suspended over them and large suction fans draw away the air which is laden with the odors of cooking before it can escape through the building. So far as any stranger to John Jay could tell there are' no kitchens in it. Yet over fifteen hundred meals are prepared there daily. On the fourth floor of the building are the offices of the various student activities. Each activity or group of two smaller activities has an office to itself While the A. A. has a suit of inter-connecting ollices at one end of the Hall. Spectator has two large ollices each with glass enclosed sanctums, one for the Editorial department and the other for the Business Department. Jester now gg leads his merry, care-free life in a spacious room which has already been decorated in true Laughing Lion style. Varsity and Mornz'ngsz'de share a room together. The Debating Council, Instrumental Club and Chess Teams each have a room, while Kings Crown takes on a more busi- ness-like atmosphere in an up-to-date office with no chicken-wire enclosures. Columbiarfs Editor shares an oilice with its Business Manager although there are two doors which denote that there really are two offices. Culee Club has its spacious office and head- quarters on the Mezzanine floor. The A. A., as already men- MAIN LOUNGE THE GRILL 5 201 1 tioned, has a suite of connecting offices. These all open on an inner hallway which leads into a large undivided room. This is the managers' room and the manager of each team has a flat-top desk for his own use. There is also a small room partitioned off from the rest in which are located a battery of steel iiling cabinets. Philolexian has the third largest quarters on the floor. It represents the home that the society has been looking for for over a hundred years, It is something that it can call its own and know that it can be free to meet there unmolested by worried janitors and anxious directors. The members have undertaken to decorate it in the general style of the period of the year 1802 when the society was founded. The Alumni of the society have contributed sums to aid them inthis work and, while far from suificients amounts have been donated at present, the energy and ingenuity of the active members have suce ceeded in converting four blank, unpainted walls into a cozy, tastefully fur- nished meeting room and library. The effects of John Jay on the student body have already begun to man- ifest themselves. There is a new spirit of general camaraderieg a better ac- quaintance, more congenial and wide spreadg a more apparent college spiritg a better and more effective throwing together of men of diverse characteristics and interests to their mutual benefit. There has also been a decided increase in cultural activities such as orchestral and band concerts, lectures on topics' of interest to college men and debates and forums on current problems. Such events have all been well attended and enthusiastically received. The Class of l927 feels a proprietory interest in John Jay Hall. It is the only class to be in College, both when the plans were announced and when the building was -completed. Members of this Class were the first editors and managers to occupy the activities oflices there. And it was in its Soph Show that Alan Max repeated Royal Cooney's immortal line: A HAPPY DREAM HAS TURNED INTO A REALITY. 52023 'T' HE MAPES GATE-on the western bank of the Green, leading to Broadway, Barnard, and long walks up Riverside Drive in early Spring. It is the last vision of the har- 9 monious conjunction of Nature and man cherished by students before entering the Gym for examinations twice a year. It is also the avenue through which Columbia keeps in ' touch with the younger generation via nurserymaids and their charges, amorous policemen and Horace Mann children. Now hemmed in between the Chemistry Annex and the Physics Building, its symbolic significance has, for some, been narrowed to the scope of a serviceable exit, without changing in any particular. MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS fl C3reat Cfultural Cfenter ?'mI'f 3ifi URING the last four or five years there has been such a feverish cam- paign of building going on in the city that the signincance of a :Q similar movement on Morningside is not appreciated by very many people. The sight of iron girders being swung into place by cranes gm 'ALA high up in the air is no longer a novel one. It is almost as ordinary as an expressman loading packages on a truck. It no longer draws a great deal of attention. But noticed or not noticed, appreciated or not, the fact remains that Morningside is rapidly approaching the dream of the men who selected it as the permanent site of the University. It is becoming one of the world's great cultural centers within a great cultural center, Columbia University in the City of New York. It is quite amazing when one stops to consider, the number of buildings that have been erected on the campus proper and on its immediate outskirts. It is also startling to think of the millions and millions of dollars that have been expended to construct and equip these buildings. In five years the following buildings have appeared on the campus: Business, Johnson, Physics, Chemistry Extention, Hewitt and John Jay. Uptown, at l68th Street on the top of the next hill, the new Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital Medical Center is rapidly nearing completion and will house the Greater College of Physicians and Sur- geons. . Each of these buildings is as modern as it possibly can be. The School of Business Hall contains, besides classrooms, Accounting, Banking, Advertising and many other laboratories and also some of the most complete libraries and reference collections in the country. It also contains the McMillin Academic Theater which is under the control of the Institute of Arts and Science. This Institute, which is part of the Extention Department, is itself a powerful force in advancing interest in cultural subjects. Through its efforts distinguished speakers, lecturers, artists and authorities are brought to the campus every year. The theater is a facility that the campus long lacked and it fills, along with the meeting rooms in John Jay, a decided need. The Physics Department had long since outgrown its cramped quarters in Payerweather Hall and the situation checked its research work. The Psy- chology Department, sandwiched into a few small rooms in the Geology De- partment's domain in Schermerhorn, also faced the same situation while the facilities for Astronomical observation offered by the old Wilde Observatory were absolutely inadequate. Therefore the University decided to erect a new home for these departments. The only possible place left was the Green. The plans of the fifteen story building looked forward to the future when the growth of the University will necessitate larger quarters than imperative at present. The work of the Chemistry Department was also hampered by inadequate space and the situation was remedied by the erection of a large ten story ad- dition to I-Iavemeyer. The laboratories in this building are arranged and equipped for the utmost convenience. Modern apparatus such as steam tables, 52041 electric stoves, steam and water mixers, air blasts and better ventilators are fur- nished in the undergraduate as well as in research laboratories. Splendid lab- oratories are also provided for Chemical Engineering Courses where work is done under circumstances almost identical with those of the commercial world. The need for more dormitory facilities was also apparent for as the enroll- ment of the University increased more and more students came from outside the city. To meet this need two buildings were constructed-Johnson Hall for graduate women and Hewitt Hall for the Barnard Undergraduates. John Jay Hall was to house the College men. The additional features of John .lay have been set forth in the previous article. The new Medical Center is located in such a position that its buildings are easily visible from the main campus and the subway provides a convenient and rapid connection between the two. The buildings cover several blocks, fronting on Riverside drive and the beautiful Hudson. They are all sky-scrapers. some of the towers being over thirty stories high. In immediate contact with the University and under its auspices have sprung up several national cultural centers. The Italian center was granted a plot of ground on Amsterdam Avenue and ll7th Street and endowments and gifts from many sources provided funds for the construction of a beautiful Casa Italiana. Here it is planned to have museums and collections to set forth the culture of Italy and also to provide homes for exchange students from Italian Universities, The French center is, at present, located in a private house on ll7th Street but plans are now under way 'to secure a new and splendid Maison Francaise. Other National groups are springing up, and while thus far their work has chiefly been limited to occasional exhibitions in Earl Hall and Avery, the University is sponsoring them and encouraging their growth and it is hoped that more centers such as Casa Italiana will be founded. At present, some such Work is being cared for by the Cosmopolitan Club in its International House over on Riverside Drive near Grant's Tomb. It seems that Morningside is also to become something of a Church Center too. The Cathedral of St. John the. Divine, which is located practically on one corner of the campus, is now being completed. The Union Theological Sem- inary, which has long been on Morningside and which, while not actually a part of it, works in close cooperation with the University, is now building one last section to complete its quadrangle of beautiful, stately Halls. Its large library has long been open to Columbia students and many of its courses are also open to them. On Riverside Drive between 120th and l2lst Streets the foundations are being laid for Dr. Fosdick's new church which will also foster events of cultural interest. Work has temporarily been suspended on the Sky- scraper Church-Community edifice that is to be put up on Broadway at l23rd Street. But when these undertakings are complete, Morningside will be an outstanding community for knowledge, culture, religion and civic activities.

BY ARTHUR JANSEN SURVEY of Columbia's endeavors in athletics Within the last year shows that while the percentage of contests won by the Blue and White may be only slightly, if at all higher than it has been since the Class of 1927 donned Freshman caps, the preceeding ten 77' : months or so have been marked by such a large number of notable feats by the Lion teams that the 1926-1927 period covered in this review can well go down in our annals as the greatest enjoyed in a score of years. More trophies have found their way to Morningside Heights since last March than has been the good fortune of many previous undergraduates to see. It is unfor- tunate that no sports enthusiast has placed in competition a cup to be held by the Winner of the Cornell-Columbia football game, for then we should have at hand at present an award that probably would be regarded more highly than any other piece of silver reposing in John Jay 1-lall. But in any case, the fraternity houses have souvenirs of this epic battle in the form of timber once used as goal posts, while the athletic association has possession of the chair on which Gloomy Gil Dobie sat as he watched the debacle suffered by his Red forces during the second half. This remarkable, thrilling, colorful game with Cornell, resulting in a 17 to 9 triumph for the Lions after the Blue and White's cause at half time seemed to have been lost, stamps the football team as the most successful since the revival of the gridiron sport on Morningside Heights in 1915. From all indications, Coach Charlie Crowley's 1926 eleven has been the best to repre- sent the Blue and White since 1903, for the 1904 and 1905 records are not quite as good as that of last year. Without the services of many of the stars of previous campaigns, prospects did not look very bright for a successful campaign last fall, but under the able coaching of Crowley and his assistants, Columbia presented a team boasting more fight, determination, grit and never- say-die spirit than any other in the memory of the present-day graduates and many alumi. Rising to its greatest heights in its battle with Cornell, the Lion eleven, headed by Captain Bill Madden, came from behind after trailing, 9 to 0, at half time, to score seventeen points, while the Ithacans, apparently demoral- ized after the long dashes by Ralph Furey and Fred Reiger, were unable to tally. A strong defensive game was played against Penn, which won, 3 to 0, on Paul Scull's 48-yard drop-kick in the opening quarter, Ohio State and Syracuse both scored victories by comfortable margins, although neither out- played Columbia to any marked extent. Perhaps Columbia has achieved no more national publicity in recent years than that thrust upon her when several of her worthy sons, led by Joe Camp- bell, won two championships at the Penn Relays, in the sprint medley and two-mile events. While Gus Jaeger, Stanley Deck, Earl Starkey, Frank Brick and Johnny Theobald ran excellently in the two races, the real hero unques- tionably was Captain Campbell. On successive days, Joe, as anchor man on each team, had to overcome leads held by two of the greatest half-milers in intercollegiate ranks in order to bring victory to the Blue and White. First, in the sprint medley, Eddie Swinburne, of Georgetown, starting on the final leg, had a three-yard advantage on Campbell, only to have the latter forge ahead late in the run to win by two yards. Then on the following day, Joe 52091 had even a greater task ahead, for he started out twelve yards behind Francis Daley, of Boston College, yet managed to come through with eight yards to spare. In addition, Columbia finished fourth in the Class B one-mile relay, and Palmer Wright tied for fourth place in the high jump. For the third successive season, the Blue and White was undefeated in duel meets, disposing of Army, Syracuse and Brown. At the Intercollegiates Campbell failed to live up to expectations, but Theobald, Bill Schmid and Wright all placed in their specialties. Boasting the finest baseball team to represent Columbia since the l9l6 nine generally was recognized as the eastern champion, the Blue 3Hd,Wh1f6 last spring, tied with Dartmouth for the Quadrangle Cup. Or, to put it more correctly, the I-Ianoverians tied with the Lions for the trophy, since up to the last game, Columbia had been undefeated in the four-team circuit, and had scored a victory over the White Indians earlier in the campaign. Columb1a's success was attributable largely to the individual brilliance of two sophomore pitchers, notably Art Smith and Ed Lautenbacher, although the team, as a whole, unquestionably was a good one. Still, without these newcomers to Varsity ranks, Coach Andy Coakley probably would have suffered a number of defeats. Seventeen victories were chalkcd up, while ive setbacks were suiferedg but the only foes that the Lions did not defeat at least once were Fordham and Princeton. The two greatest games were pitched by Art Smith, who limited Yale and Fordham each to four hits. The first two Eli's to face him each singled, but for the rest of the game the Blue was able to garner only two more safe drives as it went down to defeat, 9 to O. Although Art hurled just as well against Fordham, errors by his teammates resulted in a 4 to l defeat for the Lions. The Varsity crew did not win any trophies as a result of its work last spring, but enough progress was made under the new coaches, Richard J. Glendon and Richard A. Glendon, to indicate that Columbia isvwell on the road to a high place in the intercollegiate rowing world. In view of the victory scored over the M. I. T., and the surprisingly satisfactory showing made in the Poughkeepsie regatta, the Blue and White compiled its best record on the water since l923. Although Columbia generally was picked to finish last in the field of eight at the annual Hudson classic last spring, the Glendons' charges surprised the rowing world by taking 'Hfth place, nosing out California, Wisconsin and Cornell, which were closely bunched. As the results of the exploits of a-high-powered freshmen crew, the Blue and White added a couple of trophies to its present collection, these coming with triumphs at the American I-Ienley and the Poughkeepsie regattas. At the Hudson classic, the bronzed young cub giants swept to a highly impressive victory over their four oppo- nents, leading California, their closest rival, by a margin of five and one-half lengths. With all the members of the l929 combination, along with a num- ber of promising newcomers and several veterans, available at the start of the 1927 campaign, prospects look rather bright at the time of this writing. Just as great oaks from little acorns grow, so it is possible that by the time this article is being read, a powerful crew may have been developed from the large group of Sophomore stars at hand. Looking into the future, it is not beyond the realm of possibility to imagine Columbia as a contender for the Olympic championship next year. 52101 Allan Fitch, '27 Ralph Furey, '28 J. C.

Born at Providence, Rhode Island, in 1882, Andy is now 45 years of age, but in spite of this still retains his youth- ful appearance. A story is told of a downtown reporter who mistook Andy for one of the team last year, on seeing him on the players' bench. Mr. Coakley received his early education at English High School, in Providence. Prom there he Went to Holy Cross, where he starred as one of the best college pitchers in the East during the seasons of 1901 and 1902. At the end of this last year he joined the Athletics and was an immediate big league success. He con- tinued his stay with the Athletics throughout the years 1903-4-5 and '06, participating in 1 several world's series. ln the famous series of 1905, between the Giants and Athletics, he was opposed by the great Christy Mathewson, and twirled a beautiful game, only to have the misfortune of not having a single run scored by his teammates. In 1907, Mr. Coakley was traded to Cincinnati, where he remained until the middle of the 1908 season. In the summer of this year, he was sent to Chicago, where he also spent the next year. His last two years in the big leagues were spent with the New York Yankees. It must be remembered that Mr. Coakley's feat of rising to the big leagues direct from college baseball was a mark of distinction., at that time, since he was ,one of the first college men to succeed in entering the major league com- petition. His coaching career was begun at Williams in 1912.-13. In 1914 he came to Columbia, where he has been guiding the baseball destinies of the Blue and NVhite until the present date. While at Columbia his achievements have been of the highest grade. There has not been a season but what Andy's team has beaten some major rival. The 1916 team, .led by George Smith, who later entered the big leagues, was the collegiate champion. Another man who played under Coakley and later made his name in the major leagues is Lou Cmehrig. Last year, the coaching ability of Cakley was further evidenced by Columbia's tie for the championship in the Quadrangular Cup. f2161 THE 1926 VARSITY BASEBALL PERSGNNEL PERDINAND ZEGRI, '26 Captain JOSEPH C KRACHT 26 SAMUELW LAMB-ETH 26 Manager Manager ANDREW J.

't 'km' 5 Coach Andy Coakley started with a squad consisting of fifty men and built up one of the Hnest nines that has represented Columbia. Great assistance was received from the l928 Freshman Team which placed six men on the Varsity. The other regulars were men who had won their Varsity C the year before. ln the pitcher's box throughout the season were Art Smith and Ed Lau- tenbacher, Sophomore twirlers, and Alan Fitch, a two-year veteran. Al Kunitz served behind the bat, with Ken Williams acting as substitute. The infield consisted of .lack Rothenfeld at Hrst, Johnny Lorch at the keystone sack, Ed Whitaker at the short field, and Frank Trentacosti at the far corner. The fly chasers were Captain Ferdy Zegri, Mount Norris, and Ralph Furey, lead-off man. This team opened its season at Baker Field on March 30, against Seton Hall. The New Jersey outfit was powerless in the hands of the strong Lion Nine, and succumbed to the tune of 13-l. Captain Zegri led the attack with four hits in as many times at bat. The second game of the season, against Nlanhattan College, proved to be a harder tussle than anticipated, but the team managed to squeeze through with a hard-earned victory, emerging on the long end of a 4-2 count. On April 6th the team played its iirst major contest of the season with the highly-touted Yale Nine. The Elis had previously made a victorious tour of the South, winning the majority of the games played. This game, however, ended in a complete rout of the visitors, for the Lion batsmen slugged their way to a 9-0 victory. Bo Shoop, Yale's star pitcher, was knocked out of the box, while Art Smith allowed but four hits. Columbia continued on the road of victory by next trouncing Williams, 8-2, Lautenbacher allowing but six hits to the purple contingent. The team then met a Tartar in the form of the N. Y. U. aggregation, to whom they lost, 8-2, in the irst defeat of the season. The Heights Nine took a commanding lead in the irst two innings, scoring six runs before the Lion batters could get started. Art Smith was wild, issuing six passes, and although the team made as many hits as did their opponents, these passes were the deter- mining factor. After this setback, the Lions downed Upsala and Syracuse in overwhelming victories. In the latter contest they scored ten runs in the seventh inning to crush the Orange contingent, 14-2. In the first Quadrangular Series match with Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, Columbia annexed its initial league victory, 8-5. Zip Long, the famed Penn twirler, was knocked out of the box, twelve hits being garnered off his delivery. Zegri had a perfect day at bat, hitting safely four times in four trips to the plate. A feature of the game was the sterling fielding of Lorch at second base. Six errors in the lield gave Princeton a victory, Columbia suffering its 52191 second reversal of the season. Home-run clouts were furnished by Norris and Slagle, clean-up batters for Columbia and Princeton respectively. The latter's four-bagger came in the seventh inning with the bases full, and gave the victory to the Tigers. The second game with Williams ran eleven innings. The Blue and White iinally triumphed by scoring two runs in the eleventh inning to down the Williamstown nine 3-l. Lautenbacher was in excellent form, fanning ten of his opponents and allowing only six hits, But for the aid of a passed ball, the purple nine would have been shut out. Lautenbacher then followed up his beautifully pitched game against Wil- liams by taking the measure of Rutgers, 14-3. The team gave him perfect support and played its third errorless game of the season. In the second game of the Quadrangular Series, Columbia defeated Cornell in an old-fashioned slugging match, 10-8. The big Red team outhit the Lion outfit, but Art Smith proved supreme in the pinches. Mount Norris slugged his second homer of the season, the ball going over the center field fence for the longest hit ever seen at Baker Field. The team continued its fine hitting and downed the strong Army nine, rl4-3. Thirteen errors by the Cadets greatly aided the Blue and White in scoring this overwhelming victory. Fordham, with a string of eleven consecutive victories, including among them Yale, Dartmouth, and N. Y. U., next visited Baker Field and added Columbia to its list of those defeated. The contest was close throughout, but six errors by the home team practically handed the game to the Bronx aggregation. Fordham played a beautiful game in the Held, the combination of White to Woerner to Clancy accounting for three double plays. The Lions LZZOII -'Ei-' 1:41 , .

After the defeat, Columbia showed a complete reversal of form, and trounced Dartmouth, assuming complete leadership in the race for the Quad- rangle Cup. Carver, Dartmouth twirler, wasbforced out of the box, although Captain Zegri, who had hit safely in thirteen straight games, finally went hitless for the first time. The final score was 715. Virginia, who had defeated Columbia the year previous in a seventeen-inning contest, then succumbed before the strong Columbia nine. The game was a nip and tuck affair from the first to the last inning. In the eighth inning Columbia was behind, 5f4, when Johnny Lorch evened the count. In the ninth inning Virginia was held scoreless. Captain Zegri lined out a single with a man on third and two out. The tally was enough to give the Blue and White victory. Yale reciprocated for the severe early-season lacing it took at the hands of the Lion batsmen by trouncing them 14-5. It was clearly an off-day for the team and Yale took complete advantage ofqthe fact. Lautenbacher, who started in the box, was knocked out for the first time during the season. Three days later Art Smith got complete revenge for the beating he took earlier in the season when he defeated N. Y. U., practically single handed, Art issued only five hits in addition to smashing out two doubles, scoring two runs, and playing a beautiful game in the field. The final score Was Columbia 3: N. Y. U. l. . After a lay-off because of examination period, Syracuse was met in a return match. Columbia found no difficulty in once again trouncing them to the tune of 8-2. 1:2211 The hardest part of the season's schedule Was yet to come. ln the last three games of the year Columbia was to oppose Cornell, Pennsylvania, and Dartmouth, all of them members of the league. ln the first of these games the Lion emerged with flying colors, coming from behind to score three runs in the seventh inning for a 5-4 victory. On alumni day, Art Smith faced Zip Long, of Penn, in a beautiful pitcher's duel. Three runs in the fifth helped to decide the issuefin favor of the Blue and White. Features of the game were the hitting of Frank Trantacosti, and a circuit clout by Al Kunitz. The last game of the season proved a severe disappointment to the Columbia followers, who had hoped to see the team go through its league schedule without a single defeat. Aided by four double plays, Dartmouth emerged on the long end of a 7-2 count. ' By this victory the Green succeeded in tying Columbia for the league championship, both having a record of five Won and one lost. ' At the close of the 1926 baseball season the prospects for the '27 Varsity appeared to be excellent. Captain Ferdinand Zegri was the only loss due to graduation. However at the start of the current season it was found that Ed Lauten- bacher, star pitcher, and Ed Whitaker, varsity shortstop, had dropped out of school. In addition Mount Norris, the leading long distance hitter of the squad, by his ineligibility had left another outlield post to be filled, Another misfor- tune was the decision of Jack Rothenfeld, regular first baseman, not to report this season due to his stiff schedule in the Law School. Lefty Davis, an excel- lent pitching prospect, was also among those unable to get by the Faculty re- quirements. 52221 These losses have been somewhat overcome by the addition of excellent material from the undefeated Freshman aggregation-of last year. As the team lines up at present, the pitching will be taken care of by Art Smith, the leading boxman of last season, Joe Burke, who made an excellent record with the 1929 Freshmen, and Allan Fitch, veteran slow ball artist. Only two positions in the infield have been definitely decided upon. Ronald Dulin, an excellent fielder and the hardest hitter on the '29 frosh, will cover first base while Frank Trenta- costi, who will be completing three years of varsity competition will as usual hold down third base. Due to the excellent showing of Billy Paxson at second base it is possible that Captain Jack Lorch will be shifted to ill the gap at short- stop or to strengthen the outfield. The other leading candidates for short- stop include Charley Breslin and Vic Glenn. The only outfielder returning from last season is Ralph Furey, the lead-off men. The other -two outneld positions will be occupied by Dutch Reiger, lead- ing slugger of the '28 Freshman team, who did not report for baseball last season and either Whitey, Thorsland or Lorch. With Coach Andy Coakley at the helm, as usual, it is hoped that Captain Lorch's team will repeat the performance of the Championship '26 aggrega- tion and capture the Quadrangle Cup for the second straight year.

Dick, Jr., went to Burdet College in Boston, and while there worked on many activities which included four years of basketball, baseball and track as well as two years of football. In this time he gained, the captaincy of basket- ball twice, of baseball once, of track three times, and of foot- ball for one season. He also won the boxing championship in his weight for two years. Other than athletics, he was president of the Senior-Class, Editor and Illustrator of his ' Class Book, and a member of the Dramatic and Glee Clubs. Previous to his entrance into college, he held four track records in the Triangular High School'League of Boston: Standing Broad Jump C9 feet 6 inchesj, Running Broad Jump C20 feet 2 inchesj, Twelve- Pound Shot-Put C39 feet 9 inchesj, and 440-yard run C54 secondsj. Mr. C1lendon's coaching experience began at Navy, where he acted as Plebe coach from 1919 to 1922, at-which time he took over his father's position with the Varsity Crew. Besides rowing, he found time to coach a championship class basketball team once, and instructed class football for three champion- ships. He was also instructor in boxing, swimming, wrestling, gymnastics and setting-up exercise while at Annapolis. He continued the noted Glendon record after he took charge of Varsity Crew in' 1922, and after three years of successes came to Columbia to do for our crew what Haughtoniwas doing for football. His first work was done in the fall of 1925 in an extensive fall-rowing pro- gram, and progressed by introducing his far-famed scow. The material that he had to mould into a crew was very discouraging, but Columbia's results for the 1926 season were six races won and six lost. The greatest Freshman crew ever to row for the Blue and White, which completely outclassed every rival to win the Intercollegiate Championship at Poughkeepsie, stands out vividly as a monument to the Glendon ability, and the college enthusiastically looks forward to coming seasons with what is doubtless the greatest coaching staff in the country- Dick Junior, and Dick Senior. GLENDON, JR. Coach Glendon, Sr. Richard Glendon, Sr., the most famous crew coach of all times, and who is now assisting his son at Columbia, was born April 14th, 1870, at Harwich, Mass. While at school he participated in baseball and track, becoming interested in rowing some years later. His coaching experience dates back to 1889, at which time he started with the Boston Athletic Association. This club boasted of his services for fourteen years, until in 1904 the United States Naval Academy offered him the place of head coach. He accepted the post and remained at Annap- olis until 1922, when he retired in favor of his son. In the fall of 1925 he again entered collegiate rowing circles, coming . to Columbia. t GLENDON, SR.

OLUMBlA'S l926 Crew Season, when judged by the unexpected performance at Poughkeepsie was a creditableonel, although from Cghgag the material standpoint of 'races won and lost during, the year, the total result can only be considered fair. However, a brilliant Freshman 2 r' boat has contributed much toward raising hopes for a restoration of Columbia to her former supremacy in intercollegiate rowing circles. The present coaching staff came to Morningside in the fall of l925 after a series of successive years in turning out successful crews at the United States Naval Academy. They faced a task which seemed almost impossible, as the previous season for Columbia had been a disheartening failure with her Varsity crews linishing last in every race. From this rather mediocre material the Glendons moulded a squad which scored a victory over the formidable M. I. T. oarsmen, and reached its climax by leading Wisconsin, Cornell and California to capture fifth place in the four-mile grind at Poughkeepsie. This noteworthy achievement marked the re-awakening of the Blue and White crews, and was the brightest spot in Columbia Varsity rowing since the Childs' Cup victory 'of 1923. ' . The first work of the new regime was the continuance of the club rowing system inaugurated the year before. The three club crews resulting from this plan immediately began practice which resulted in the Bangs Cup Regatta on November 6th, with the Saratoga boat leading the Henley and Poughkeepsie crews over the one-mile course in the good time of 4.25. f During the Winter months, practice was confined to work indoors on the rowing machines and the famous Culendon Uscow. 'As-soon as weather per- mitted, the squad moved into spring quarters at Baker Field. On April 24th, the Freshmen opened the' season by racing Kent School and lost by the narrow margin of four feet. 'They showed up well despite their defeat, which might have been averted but fora poor start, and a mistake in judgment as to what time to raise the beat, . T A . The Varsity Crews made their debut in the triangular regatta with Penn- sylvania and Yale over the two-mile course on the' Housatonic River at Derby, Connecticut. Rough water and a stiff -breeze hindered the oarsmen and kept five thousand spectators waiting until almost dark' before the regatta could commence. The Varsity race soonndeveloped' into a dual contest between Yale and Penn, with Columbia dropping back steadilyguntil' at the mile mark, three lengths of open water separated them from the leaders. In an extremely close finish, the Elis were able to triumphfover Penn, gwith the Blue and White boat trailing them by nine lengths. Thew Junior Varsity race was of equal disap- pointment, with Columbia six lengthstbehind Yale, 'and nine lengths from the winning Quaker eight at the finish, ' For5the'fColumbia rooters who lined the banks, the most important contest of the ,afternoon was that of the Freshmen. ln this race the Yearlings showed. considerable strength by finishing six feet ahead of Penn, after trailing fthemfd-uring theuhrst .rnile. t The first Columbia Varsity,.crew.victory since 1923 came on May 15, on the Harlem, when M. I. T. was nosecl out by 'half a length. The entire results of the day's races were encouraging, the- Freshmen also winning, while the .' '21, - i, AY ,L Q29 1 -ii- . 1' J Jayvee boats tied. The light-weights lost by a narrow margin. The Frosh race was first, the yearlings finishing two lengths ahead of the M. I. T. boat with little difficulty. The 150-pound crew race, which came next, was close throughout, but the Columbia boat got out of the favorable tide by taking the last turn wide, so that they were beaten by three-quarters of a length, The Junior Varsity race was also very close during the entire course and was judged a tie, When the Lion Varsity boat lined up against the M. I. T. crew, three of the men were newcomers since the Derby Regatta. Of these, Roegner and Krupa gained permanent seats in the boat. The Blue and VJhite Varsity showed great improvement in their form over the first race, rowing smoothly and crossing the finish line half a length ahead of the Engineers. This victory greatly brightened the outlook for the remainder of the season, The Childs' Cup Regatta was the next event of the season. The Varsity and Freshman crews went to Princeton for the races. The Freshman crew was victorious, but the Varsity finished last. Penn started out in the lead in the Freshman race, holding it for the first mile. Princeton and Columbia then forged ahead, keeping close together for the remainder of the race. The Lion Cubs got a quarter of a length ahead, and held this margin to cross the finish line a few feet ahead of the Tigers. The Varsity race was rather unexciting, the Penn crew taking the lead and keeping it without difficulty. Princeton lost more ground in the final sprint, losing by two and a half lengths, while the Lion was three and a half lengths further astern at the end of the twoemile course. Two days later, on May 31, the Henley Regatta was run off in Phila- delphia over the mile and ive-sixteenths course, with the Columbia 150-pound, Junior Varsity 'and Freshmen crews entered.

The Princeton lightweights won for the nrst time in six years, finishing a length ahead of the Navy shell. Yale was third, Columbia fourth, and Harvard last. The Jayvee race was won by Syracuse, since Coach Ten Eyck had put his entire Varsity crew into the Jayvee boat for the race. Penn, Princeton, and Columbia followed in the order named. The Lion crew made a good spurt at the finish, but fell short and came in last. The Yearling Lion rowers continued their winning streak by nosing out the Penn Frosh crew. After a month of training at Poughkeepsie, during which period many shifts were made in the Varsity crew, Columbia was ready for the Pough- keepsie regatta, on the 28th of June. Five crews were entered in the Fresh- man race, including the widely-known California Freshmen. The Lion oars- men got away to a good start and kept in the lead of the encounter to Hnish five and a half lengths ahead of the West-Coasters, after rowing a beat of thirty- eight for most of the course. They had gotten well into the lead at the mile mark and finished in front of a long procession, with California second and Syracuse third. In the Junior Varsity race over a three-mile course, the Washington crew was second at the start, but passed Pennsylvania during the first half mile, and was not headed again. The Columbia Jayvees put up a game light, but finished last in a field of six. Eight giants from the West, in the Washington shell, won the Varsity race, beating the Navy across the line by a single moment. Rusty Callow's boat had obtained a lead of two lengths at the three-mile mark when the Navy started its long sprint which brought them to within fifteen feet of the Wash- ington crew at the finish line. Syracuse was third. Penn and Columbia had been fighting for the last two and a half miles, but the Lion was finally nosed out by half a length after putting up a fine fight. The Blue and White crew had been rated by sports writers to finish last, but they were still full of fight Lzaij .51 1 . , ,., se:-1:-wjzbwgagesf.rifss.-an-:-Q-wa:-ine .1 E-22231-:1?f':E:7Z5f5.f?iU215I 3 2'f5:55:E?935151151-5!5917I'i '3: -:-fi'-'272-IK-2i:':li:3:f::'.f-Y '44 As'7:f?1'7:J14'.f:'17!4'?5f2:?W!54x' .1?F3f9f:l' sgq:5:,'2:2v1.: mr,--:ag stamps.-i.g:.s -Q-Miz,-.,---::,-,:345:g:..ywg,i1?--541:.Az -- 5,-:pe Mvf:'5ff-fiQ-.f:'::'-2222:-r.,' x 1:'3:zE-2521353 ' - ss, ' ff. -Y -bfi' f H ., , li, - - ' ' 'P we-Q . 1 Ms. , ' ' ' -.-use ,. ..: 'S ' N-W. 1 - .V , .gn-.,,,,.,, 1 .Q , V. fan .aw my.-X, ffhrm . r r- :if-V,-tggfgfp-'.'.'---sw-X-::41'igt,.gffifsjgfi -gf 5 4,2145 ...wi -- : ,1 1, . . - , 'ff 'm- ' H . -hw - :.1'ifi?:i 2i:i': : ' --'fI.I .

'X 'N ff, mlm ww f , lmllasw X f' 'R Y W, Ky wtlllll i Coach Merner Carl Merner was born in Harper, Kansas, on March 5th, l888. He reecived his early education at the Rural Grade School at Cedar Falls, Iowa, from where he went to the preparatory school of Iowa State Teachers College. While there his first association with athletics was made, and when he matriculated into college his experience gained for him places on three major sport teams, football, basketball and track. He played half-back and served as captain for two years on the football eleven, and was also captain of basketball for two years. ln track, Mr. Merner made records in the discus, I6-pound hammer, and low hurdles, as well as holding the captaincy for one year. He gained the honor of being selected all-State half-back in l908-09 in football, and in basketball, all-State forward for the same two years. His enviable record did not stop with athletics, as he belonged to both the Cilee Club and Literary Society of the College. From Iowa State he went to Springfield College in Massachusetts for two years, where he continued playing football and basketball. His exceptionally fine work made for him a place on the all-Springfield team for all time as end. His classmates elected him to the Students' Senate and . the Athletic Committee. He also coached both the class ' track and class football teams for two years. After graduation from Springfield, Mr. Merner taught physical education and also coached football, track and basketball at Gary, Indiana. In the following year he transferred to the Kansas State College, at Manhattan, Kan- sas, where the same program was continued. It was not until the fall of l9l6 that Mr. Merner came to Columbia, at which time he took over the reins of basketball. His coaching was interrupted by his serving in the war from l9l7 to 1919. He returned to Columbia to coach Varsity Track and Freshman Football. Two years later he dropped the latter to devote all his time to track and cross-country, which sports he has served ever since. Some of Columbia's records which have been directly due to her coach include: the National Championship in the distance medley relay event in l922g the quarter-mile relay championship of America at the Penn relays in l924g the class B championship relays more than once, the sprint medley cham- pionship of America, coming within one second of the world's record, in l926g and three Metropolitan championships. Individuals who were coached by Merner are: Koppisch, winner of the National 600-yard championship: Moore, two-mile junior championship, and Higgins, two-mile champion at the Penn relays, as well as junior champion. Higgins also became the indi- vidual champion in cross-country, being the only Columbia man ever to do so. i On the track, in two years, we haven't lost a dual meet. In cross-country during the past six years we have placed second once, third twice, and fourth once.. These achievements have been made without the help of experienced material coming from prep schools, and this is generally accepted as the only reason why Coach Merner has not turned out an even more notable record. 52361 The l 9 2 6 Varsity Track Personnel r v f 1 .

The team, besides having several performers who would f SQ Yxi be ranked as stars, had enough excellent point-getterslto enable it ,q,ff7fL5A9f to make a fine showing during the indoor season, win the Penn A' 9-A relays at Philadelphia, and to Hnish the year by capturing all of its dual meets in the spring. Many of the men who had been developed under the skillful tutelage of Coach Carl Merner, and who had devoted their time for three years in carrying the Blue and White to victory, were running their last races for Columbia. These men included Captain Joe Campbell, whose faultless running in the Penn relays enabled us to capture the two leading events, and who was undoubt- edly one of the leading half-milers in college circles: Bill Schmid, Columbia's great distance runner and captain of the Cross-Country team, who came in third in the lntercollegiates at Cambridge: John Theobald, star miler, who also placed third in his specialty at the same meet: and Cius Jaeger, crack half- miler and member of the two victorious relay teams. The indoor track season opened with the Wilco games on Saturday, Feb- ruary l3th. Dan O'Cirady, the Freshman miler, finished second, While Sacco. also a Freshman, Was just nosed out in the l00-yard dash. John Theobald picked up a fourth in the l000-metre special, and a relay team composed of Jaeger, Deck, Hyde and Campbell came in second in the mile relay. February 23rd, the squad made a good showing in the games at the l3th Regiment Armory. Deck, Jaeger, Campbell and Bill Schmid ran in the distance medley relay event and captured second place. Palmer Wright came in third in the high jump, with a leap of five feet eleven inches, while Bus Lockwood took second in the pole vault. Sacco, the Freshman sprinter, took third in the 300, and fourth in the 60-yard dashes. ,Three days later the mile relay specialists finished second in the Madison Square Garden meet, and Schmid won the three- mile handicap with Ed Roche placing fifth in this event. ln the l. C. A. A. meet, on March 6th, the team scored only twice, Bill Schmid placing in the two-mile, and the relay team taking second in their two-mile event. On April 23rd and 24th Columbia surprised the athletic world with her great showing in the Penn relays. On the first day of the meet we carried off the two-mile relay championship, the outstanding race of the meet, and it was the first time since 1907 that Columbia had captured the event. Frank Brick, Cius Jaeger, John Theobald and Joe Campbell were the members of the vic- torious quartet which set a new Columbia record of 7 minutes and 53M seconds. Captain Campbell was the main factor in this victory. He ran the important position of anchor man and found himself twelve yards behind the leader when the baton was handed to him. ln a sensational race he overcame the lead of Daley, the Boston College representative, and drew away to win easily by ten yards. Penn State managed to place third, with Lafayette coming up last. On the second day of the relays the Blue and White once more was carried home in front, this time by the sprint medley team composed of Deck, Starkey, Jaeger and Campbell. Once more, and again as anchor man, Camp- bell was the hero, repeating his performance of the day before by coming from behind to score his second triumph. Georgetown was our leading opponent, and this time Campbell, after racing into the lead during the first furlong of 52391 ' K Whlte WRIGHT WINS THE LOW HURDLES his half mile, was forced to his utmost by the speed of Swinburne, their anchor, whom he defeated by the narrow margin of a single foot. The time of the race, 3.29, was but one second slower than the world's record for the event, While Campbell was clocked, unoilicially, by three watches, as doing his half mile in 1.53. Palmer Wright also contributed to Columbia's score by placing fourth against a strong field in the high jump, his best effort being five feet eleven and three-eighths inches. The first dual meet of the outdoor season occurred on May lst at West Point, with the track and field men doing their bit to make Columbia's annual spring excursion up the Hudson a success. The Army squad was easily defeated by the score of 75-50. The Lion won ten of the fourteen events, and especially excelled in the distance running events. In the half-mile race, neither Campbell, Theobald nor Hamilton were forced to exert themselves to Hnish in that order at the head of the procession. Jaeger and Campbell placed first and second respectively in the 440-yard run, while Theobald and Thirwall did the same in the mile. Schmid led the runners home in the two-mile, with Ed Roche taking third. Stanley Deck and Palmer Wright both captured two events, Deck being the irst to cross the finish line in both dashes, while Wright won the low hurdle event and also set a new Columbia record of six feet and one- quarter inch in winning the high jump. Other winners for Columbia were Stanley Potter in the broad jump, Bus Lockwood in the pole vault, and Joe Kracht, who won the javelin throw with a toss of 164 feet and 6 inches. The initial track meet at Baker Field took place on Saturday, May Sth, with Syracuse as our opponent. Columbia won handily, capturing nine nrst and seven second places, and running up a iinal score of 74 as against 43 for her rival. Palmer Wright again staged a field day by coming out first in the high jump and both hurdle events. Deck, as usual, captured both sprints. Captain Briggs performed well for the up-Staters, being the high scorer for his team with two victories by takiri the shot-put and discus throw. The most Lz4oj . I I White DECK WINS THE SPRINTS exciting event was the two-mile run, in which Loucks, of Syracuse, the national two-mile champion, overcame an early lead of Bill Schmid and beat the Columbia man to the tape. Cecil Cooke, another national champion, wearing the Orange colors, easily won his event when he led the field in the quarter- mile. Campbell, Theobald and Potter won for Columbia in their specialties, while Lockwood, Millison and Way tied for Hrst in the pole vault. Also among those to increase our score were Roche, Jaeger, Thirwall, Brick, Krissel, Bowden and Archambeau. These winners had the honor of setting the first records for the new Baker Field track. In the last dual meet of the year, on May 15th, Brown was encountered. and the Columbia athletes had little trouble in securing victory. In fact, a large number of the men who had been able to take only seconds and thirds previously in the season found the opportunity to register their first real triumphs, some of the regulars remaining on the bench. A downpour of rain which transformed the track into a sea of mud had much to do with the rela- tively slow time results in all of the events. Twelve of the fourteen events were in favor of the Blue and White. Wright won the high jump and low hurdles but came in second to Needham of Brown, in the high hurdles. Deck took the 100-yard dash, while Edelstein turned in his nrst victory of the season in the 220. Hamilton did the same when he broke the tape ahead of the other two competitors in the half mile. Theobald won the mile run, Potter the broad jump, Kracht the javelin throw, Krissel the shot-put, and Lockwood the pole vault. Others who won second or third places included Archambeau, Spitzer, Thirwall, Reiger, Way and Millison. Only eight men were sent to Cambridge to compete in the Intercollegiates, and of these only three managed to place for the finals. Captain Campbell, considered a sure factor for first honors in the half-mile event, because of his sensational showing all season,Vwas unfortunately ill and was unable to enter the meet. The three point winners for Columbia were Johnny Theobald, Bill Schmid and Palmer Wright. Theobald ran a splendid race in the mile event and seemed a certain winner until near the finish, where he was overtaken by Schobeda of the University of California, who w.on by a few inches. Schmid also lost out in the final stretch of the two-mile race. Tibbetts, the 52411 ' r White BUS LOCKWOOD IN ACTION Harvard distance star, passed both him and Loucks of Syracuse, in the last sixty yards, While the latter managed to repeat his earlier victory by beating Schmid out for second place. Palmer Wright, although setting a new Columbia record in the high jump, was held to a tie for fifth place because of the excep- tional quality of the opposing Held. The only other competitors from Morn- ingside Were Deck, Jaeger, Potter and Brick.

Y., and Rutgers to the tape. On October 30, however, they fell before last year's intercollegiate champions, Syracuse, who won by the perfect score of 15 to 40. Ed Roche, the first Columbia runner, after leading for the first mile, was forced to content himself with sixth place. Yale was given more opposition, but their team also was too powerful, and, although Roche and Farmer placed third and fourth, respectively, triumphed 34 to 2l. lt was Yale's first victory since Coach Carl Merner came to the Heights. On November 13, Pennsylvania, another powerful team, visited Columbia and succeeded in carrying off the victory, 35-20. Russel Payne of Penn, and former national steeple chase champion, easily carried off first place. The next Monday at the Intercollegiate, Penn State led by Bill Cox. Olympic star, won the title, although closely pressed by Syracuse and Yale. Columbia finished in eleventh place. The bright spot of the meet for the Blue and White was the performance turned in by Joe Hagen, Frosh runner, when he placed third, in a blanket finish, in the Freshman three-mile race. In fact. the whole Frosh team showed more than usual promise. - ln considering the record of the Varsity for the last season the high calibre of the opposition as well as the loss of Schmid and Theobald, must be taken into account. Smith of Yale and Loucks of Syracuse placed second and third in the intercollegiates while there is no doubt that Pennsylvania had one of the strong teams of the country in the past year. However, all through the season the team, though lacking such individual stars as Cox and Loucks, showed strength and gave promise that with the new Prosh material, the 1927 Cross-Country team, led by Captain-elect Johnny Wasson, will be a good one.

Crowley, who was appointed head football coach for Columbia in 1925, was born at Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1887. He received his preparatory school edu- cation at the Cambridge Latin School, Where he gained his Hrst experience on the gridiron. Prom there he entered Harvard, Where he played right end on the elevens during the seasons of 1907-1908, gaining the distinction of being chosen for the All-American team of the latter year. From 1910 to 1913 Mr. Crowleyjat- tended Notre Dame and continued his football career there. He was playing end for that insti- tution When Knute Rockne came out for the team, and it was partly through his efforts and ability as an instructor that the latter became a great end also. After graduation from Notre Dame, Mr. Crowley acted as head coach at the University of Dallas until 1917, winning fame by pro- ducing several championship teams of the Southwest. The college lost his services at the opening of the World War when he joined the Army and served as lieutenant at Camp Dix. In 1921 he became associated with the Harvard coaching staff, and after two years there, came to Columbia to help Percy Haughton in the difficult assignment of raising our standard on the gridiron. The years after Mr. Haughton's untimely death saw Coach Crowley working to continue the system which was just beginning to make itself felt, and his achievement of developing a team that beat Army is now history. This victory constituted the greatest upset in the East of the season and marked the first opportunity for Columbia to celebrate over a major triumph in many years. Again, in 1926, it was due to his coaching ability that a team which promised nothing at the commence- ment of the season, improved to beat Cornell for the nrst time in twenty-one years. During the last season, Mr. Crowley also found time enough away from his duties at Baker Field to act as correspodent for the New York Times, and was elected district representative by the football coaches' association. f246j THE 1926 FOOTBALL H TEAN1 rg - ' :vii , ' . gr, IYVV , A i.,, .,.

Tassi The 1926 Varsity Football Season 'ATS' l926 football season made its debut early in the spring. ln spite of the fact' that the campus was interested in the current sports of track, crew and baseball, When Coach Charles Crowley issued his first call for candidates on April 12, thirty-five men made their ?x5v 932f Way to Baker Field for spring practice under the tutelege of the entire coaching staff. ln addition to Head Coach Crowley the coaching staff was composed of William M. Nlurray, formerly of Harvard: John C. Depler, who received his football training at Ohio State, and three former Columbia stars, Raymond C. Wagner, '26, Franklin V. Brodil, '23, and Bliss Price, '25. Depler, Brodil and Price Worked With the line, Wagner had charge of the ends, and Murray took care of the backs. . ' Many of the football stars of the vear before Wereengaged in the other spring sports, but such veterans as Captain Bill Madden, Mike Sesit, Hick Brady, Bill Arler, Fred Reiger and Willie Williams reported for the Work-outs which were continued over a period of three Weeks. Work was resumed a week before school opened in the fall. With the task of replacing George Pease and Ray Kirchmeyer in the backiield, and of practically rebuilding the line due to the graduation of Ray Wagner, Kaleb Wiberg, Martin Raphael and Steve Schimetitsch, the coaching staff was forced to make many experiments before satisfactory combinations could be found. rlghis, in part, explains the slow start made by the team at the beginning of t e season. THE SPRING FOOTBALL SQUAD f249:I Columbia 14-Vermont 0 1926 football season was ushered in by a game which differed from former ,opening encounters in that the opposing team offered :Falk 353' a real test for the Blue and White squad. But unusually warm gzsL'42 weather caused rather sluggish playing by both elevens. S' VM ' The first three-quarters of the game were marked by several scoring opportunities for both sides, all of which failed because of the stubborn defenses exhibited. Fumbles gave Vermont two chances to try place kicks within short range of the Columbia goal posts, but both efforts were unsuc- cessful. It was only during the final minutes of the game that Columbia got under way and managed to cross the goal line. Furey stopped a rolling punt on the visitor's one-yard line, and the subsequent kick was returned by Empringham to the 20-yard stripe. Successive plunges by Madden and Reiger brought the ball within a half yard of the goal. From here Empringham dived through center for the first touchdown of the season. Madden made the drop-kick. A moment later, a Vermont punt was blocked on the 20-yard line. Mad- den took the ball eighteen yards in two plays, and Sesit plunged the remaining distance. Captain Madden again added the extra point. ,, s nf ds... ali., Harold Swahn VERMONT KICKS FROM BEHIND HER GOAL LINE Lzsol Columbia 26-Union 0 '5 HOWING great improvement over its form of a week previous the if 9, team in the second game of the season The game was for the most part fast and interesting the up staters showing a versatile and ' deceptive attack which enabled them to several times invade Columbia territory, while the Lions relied solely on three of four formations to advance the ball. Forward passes were resorted to frequently by both sides with poor results, perhaps because the ball was made slippery by a light rain. The most encouraging feature of the game was the sustained attack shown by Columbia. Three of the four touchdowns were the results of steady marches down the iield. Columbia advanced 255 yards by rushing the ball, While Union could only make 64. Madden and Sesit once more demonstrated their ability as line-smashers, time and again crashing through the Garnet line for gains ranging from five to fifteen yards, while Reiger and Norris contributed several line runs off tackle and around end. Captain Bill Madden made the most sensational play of the game in the closing minutes of the first half. Due to a poor kick, Union had the ball on Columbia's 20-yard line. Unable to advance through the line, the up-staters resorted to the forward pass, but with disastrous results, for Madden snatched one out of the air and raced eighty-five yards for the third touchdown. 1 4 -,Liz 1 I Varsity football team ran up a 26-0 score over a strong Union .v-Q - - ' - - ,.. : ,A , ,r is ..

However, the game was always fast and interesting, with Wesleyan unleash- ing a forward-pass attack in the last quarter which nearly resulted K d'A in a touchdown. This one flurry was the total offensive effect obtained by the visitors, for they were unable to make any impression on our line. The contest was unusuall free from fumbles, while the snap y weather , Y , P had the players on their toes all the time. Soon after the start of the game, Columbia received the ball on her 12- yard line. With Norris sliding around end and off tackle for long gains, and Madden crashing through the line, the ball soon reached the Wesleyan 6-yard line. On the last down Norris tossed a pretty forward over the goal line to Brady for the first score. i , The rest of the game saw Columbia crashing down 'the field five more times for touchdowns, all scored on long advances and not on flukes. Reiger, Norris, Madden and Sesit all ripped off long gains through the Black and Red line, while the defensive work against everything but the 'forward pass was of high order. During the last part of the game many subs were sent into the fray. Of these, Kapla nand Kumpf did the best work with their flashy running. L w l-I v .si .r as 'ia . r. H . he ka I BRADY SGORES ON A PASS Harold Swahn L2521 Columbia 7-Ohio State 32 OLUMBIA'Slf1rst big test of the season came on October 16th when T9 Ohio State's colorful team descended on the Polo Grounds and Cghl ' 'Q emerged on the large end of a generous score.. However, this was not as discouraglng as the result would indicate. Most of the tallies were due to breaks, long runs and intercepted passes. The Lion, though completely outscored, showed that the foundation had been laid for a really fine eleven. The Westerners seemed to be further advanced, pos- sessed a fine line, one or two great backs and were able to take advantage of every break. Something new in the way of college bands was brought out of the West by the invaders. With a hundred men in the band and thirty in the life and drum corps, all arrayed in scarlet and grey, it made one of the most impressive sights ever seen at the Polo Grounds. h I W c I U The game startedw-ith Ohio kicking Qffjfiiiiifdifor the whole' lirst period the contest was'l'aif?lEfenQX?je exhibition with Cdlilhiblia, having what little advan- tage there was to be fhad. Neither team could gain at all consistently and nothing in the way of a break occurred. Soon after the start of the second quarter Columbia found itself on the Ohio 35-yard line. However, the Lion backs were unable to get through and Reiger's attempt at a place kick went wild. Ohio now put the ball in play on her Z0-yard line and Eby got off a beautiful punt which was caught and fumbled by a Columbia back. The ball was recovered by an Ohio lines- man and carried to the 8-yard line. After three unsuccessful attempts to take MADDEN RECEIVING A PASS Harold Swahn l I-2531 NORRIS GETS OFF A PUNT Harold Swahn COLUMBIA STOPS EBY OF OHIO STATE Harold Swahfx I 254 1 the ball across, Clark drop-kicked the pigskin between the uprights for three points. After the next kick-off Fred Grim, Ohio's outstanding back of the after- noon, was sent into the game and his fast work around end took the ball over the goal-line for the first touchdown of the day. The try for point was suc- cessful. A few plays later Grim intercepted a Columbia forward pass and reeled off a sensational run of sixty yards for another touchdown. The quarter ended with the score 17-O. The third period proved to be Columbia's best. Alkoff broke through and blocked a kick, recovering the ball on Ohio's 2-yard line. On the iirst play Norris sped through the left side of the line for our lone touchdown. Madden made good on the kick for point after touchdown, and the score was 17-7. The last period, however, was a duplicate of the second. A blocked punt brought Ohio within scoring distance and Karow kicked a field goal. A few minutes later Grim cut loose with another run of twenty-five yards for a touchdown. The scoring was finally brought to a close later in the period when Karow stepped into a Columbia forward pass and, protected by fine interference, ran sixty-ive yards for a fifth and last Ohio touchdown.

The first quarter resulted in no scoring at all. Late in the second period, Duke started a sustained drive to the Columbia 25-yard line, where Sesit broke up matters by intercepting a pass. The Lions then opened an attack which covered the necessary 75 yards to the goal line in six first downs, with Kaplan carrying the ball across on an off-tackle slant. The half ended at 7-0 in favor of Columbia. The third period was a repetition of the first, with Columbia threatening to score, but being held by Duke's sturdy defense. However, in the fourth quarter a pass to Sesit brought the ball to the Duke 8-yard linep Kumpf added seven yards off tackle and Madden took the ball over for the second touchdown. A little later Madden kicked a lield goal from the 24-yard line for three more points. The fmal tally came when Lambart, who had just gone into the game, intelriepted a Duke pass on their 36-yard line and Madden plunged over the goa ine. MADDEN RECEIVES A PASS FROM NORRIS Harold Swahn f256j Columbia 17-Cornell 9 day of the l,926 game with Cornell is one that will go down ll?-ffg f-,get in all the histories of Columbia as a red-letter day, as it marks the jg end of a twenty-year-old jinx. Outside of the Michigan-Navy life-4fm7'2,l game, this was the biggest upset of the year. Few people thought, A' vm' A after they had compared the scores of the two teams, that Columbia had a chance to win. Sports writers accorded Cornell an easy victory and even many Columbia rooters were hoping merely to keep down the score. At the end of the first half it looked as though the dope on the game was correct. The Columbia stands had quieted down under an air of gloom, and the cheer-leaders had a hard time to get them to show any pep. But the second period had scarcely begun when every one realized that a different team was on the field. It was composed of the same men but with even a grimmer determination than before. Suddenly it sprang to life, forced the breaks and sent the Cornell team reeling back to a bewildered defense. The fast charging line caused a Cornell forward to go wild and Furey, grabbing the ball as it left the visiting quarterback's hand, galloped forty yards for a touchdown. While the Polo Grounds quaked beneath the roar of the Lion stands, Madden neatly put the ball over for the point after touchdown. The score stood at 7-9. The team gained confidence. It worked hard and fast. Soon the stands were brought to a frenzy by the most sensational play of the afternoon. Dutch Reiger drew in the Cornell secondary defense by a fake forward and then CORNELL BLOCKS A KICK FOR A SAFETY Harold Swahn 52571 COLUMBIA TRIES AN END RUN g White REIGERS MAKES A TEN-YARD GAIN Ham-o1dSwahn I Z5 8 I skirted end with the lthacan backs in full pursuit. But he proved too fast for them, and urged on by the deafening cries of Beal' Cornell! Beal' Cornell! Beat Cornell! he covered the Seventy-EWO yards to the goal line without being touched. Madden again kicked the goal and Columbia went into the lead, 14-9. But still the Columbia stands were not satisfied, The year before Cornell had trailed in the last quarter and had overcome the lead to emerge victorious in the last minutes of play. However, that was last year. The Lion again went on the war-path and drove clown the field in record time. At the 5-yard line, Cornell made a desperate stand and held. lt was too late, for Madden dropped back to the 15-yard line and booted the ball over for a field goal and the decisive three points. For sheer excitement the game this year vied with the see-saw contest of 1925. Once more a team came from behind and won. Columbia succeeded in holding the famous Gil Dobie attack to one touchdown, was more alert in seizing its opportunities, outsmarted the men from up-state, and possessed suflicient power in gaining through the line to earn a well-deserved victory. While the team itself is due all possible credit for its magnificent showing, not a little of the recognition must go to the coaching staff who wrought wonders in polishing up both defense and offense after the disappointing show- ing made against Ohio State. The secondary defense was especially improved, while the forward pass, as executed by the Lions, became a useful weapon of attack instead of an asset to the opposition. The entire eleven played exceptionally fine ball, but there were several men who stood out above the rest. Captain Wild Bill Madden, in addition to booting the field goal which put the game on ice in the nnal period, played an excellent defensive game. The other great defensive players were Mike Sesit and Ernie Cuneo. The former acting as the main cog in the secondary defense, smeared almost every Cornell play before it could get going. The latter, starting at guard for the first time this season, ripped open large holes in the Red line, rendering his own area impregnable and often breaking through to nail the man with the ball. On the attack Ralph Furey, Dutch Reiger and Harry Kaplan stood out. Furey, besides his phenomenal play which resulted in Columbia's first score. played an excellent game in all departments. His speed in getting down the field under punts kept the Cornell safety man calling for fair catches. Reiger's outstanding feat, of course, was his 72-yard dash which changed the entire complexion of the game. Kaplan carried the ball for several good gains, inter- cepted three forward passes thrown by the Cornell back, and ran the team with excellent generalship. A monster snake dance formed immediately after the final whistle blew. Led by the band, the joyful Columbia horde swept across the gridiron and uprooted the goal posts. ' These were carried all the way down to the campus where a huge bonfire which lasted far into the night was staged.

However, the let-down in play was so great that but for one factor-the sensational playing, M of Fred Reiger-the contest with the Southerners would have resulted in something of a blot on the Columbia record. William and Mary was the first to score, When, in the middle of the first period, Captain Nlatsu of the Southerners, booted a field goal from the 30-yard line. Shortly after the next kick-off, Reiger raced around the opposing right end for forty yards and a touchdown. Madden's successful try for point made the score 7-3 and from then on we were never headed. Late in the third quarter Reiger again tallied, this time reeling off seventy-two yards with the whole opposing team at his heels. 'A ball, fumbled on the 9-yard line just as we were on our way to another touchdown, was recovered by Davis, one of the visiting tackles, who, protected by a screen of interference, carried it the length of the Held for six points and brought the invaders to within three points of our own total. The game ended with the score 13-10, much to the relief of the strained nerves in the Columbia stands. . ir: . at ., . .. , f.. ., ... .. ....f, r I KAPLAN MAKES A BIG GAIN Harold Swahn 52621 Columbia O-Pennsylvania 3 TILL fired with enthusiasm over theencounter with Cornell, the Blue and White journeyed to Franklin liield on November 13th, encouraged by the possibility of overcoming Penn's gridiron war- riors for the first time since Columbia's resumption of football in idfgyoqm l9l5. Although the score was unfavorable, the disappointment felt by the many Lion supporters who followed the team to Philadelphia on the Columbia Special was fully compensated by the exhibition of one of the closest and hardest-fought struggles in which Columbia has participated in many years. The leading feature of the game was the magnificent defense of each of the teams. There were no fumbles: and neither team had the advantage of any breaks From a Columbia standpoint, the work of Bill Madden was the leading feature of the afternoon, as he was the only Lion player who had much success in breaking through the opposing line: while Sesit, as usual, stood out with his line defensive play. The whole line came up to form in fine fashion and had but little trouble in uncovering the deceptive hidden-ball attack, which had been the Blue and Red's foremost advantage in its other games. The main offensive weapons for Penn were Charley Rogers, the elusive halfback, and Paul Scull, who won the game with a magnificent drop-kick from the center of the field. Wascolonsis, with his line smashing, and Thayer and Singer on the ends were also instrumental in Penn's offensive play. Penn won the toss and elected to receive the kick-off. Murphy ran the ball back to his own 35-yard line, and for the next few plays the hidden-ball MADDEN RECEIVES A PASS Harold Swahn 5263 J MURPHY'S PASS IS INCOMPLETED Harold Swahn REIGER PUNTS Harold Swahn I 264 I attack was successful in puzzling the New Yorkers. However, Kaplan inter- cepted a long forward pass, and Columbia had her first chance to carry the ball. Reiger went through left tackle for seven yards, and Madden broke loose for eight more, but Penn tightened up, and there followed two exchanges of kicks which left the ball on the Red and Blue's 45-yard mark. Scull got through the line for seven yards, and Rogers picked up four more for a first down. But Columbia then held, and at fourth down Penn had still three yards to go. They elected to kick, and Paul Scull, standing on the 45-yard line, drop- kicked a beautiful field goal which, clearing the bar by a matter of inches, gave Penn the only score of the afternoon. Columbia received the next kick-off, but was forced to punt, and Rogers ran the ball to the 35-yard line as the period ended. The second period was featured by kicking exchanges until Penn, aided by two penalties, carried the ball to Columbia's 19-yard line. But the Blue and White held and took the ball on downs as the half came to a close. After the customary parading of the bands, the second half started with Penn kicking off. The ball was put in play on the 30-yard mark, and a penalty and a poor punt gave Penn the ball on our 40-yard line, where, unable to gain, they kicked to our 15-yard line. Penn recovered the ball and seemed about to cross the line, when interest was revived on the Columbia side of the stands as Madden intercepted a pass and started a forceful Blue and White attack. Terrific plunges through the line combined with short passes and a timely penalty took the ball fifty yards down the Held to Penn's 20-yard mark. There, with but a foot to go and one down in which to make it, the Lion team was unsuccessful, and their only chance to score passed by them. From this point on, Columbia was relegated to defensive tactics only, with the exception of an aerial attack in the last few minutes of play which was broken up by Rogers. Columbia retrieved the ball, but the whistle blew before she had a chance to advance it. The l926 victory over Cornell brought to fulfillment the almost des- perate slogan, Beat Cornell. Let us hope that a similar perseverance Will, in l927, make our successes complete by the accomplishment of the slogan- ' BEAT PENN! fzes 1 Columbia 2-Syracuse 19 I-IE annual Thanksgiving Day game with Syracuse proved la disap- pointment to the Columbia supporters who formed a majority of the 40,000 spectators. The day was splendid, and the holiday spirit, together with the comparative records of ,the teams, shared E79 alike in the formation of the optimism which pervaded the Columbia stands. The team fought well: it earned more first downs than the up-staters and gained more yards in rushing theiball. But its weakness in punting was never more apparent, and this disability, combined with the out- standing performances of the two great Syracuse ends, Hanson and Archoska, led to all of the Orange scoring. V Syracuse jumped into the lead soon after the start of the game and pressed its advantage to the fullest throughout the first half, during which it accom- plished all its scoring. A poor punt gave it the ball on the 33-yard line, and a pass from Goldman to Captain Hanson gave the latter an opportunity to give a marvelous exhibition of broken field running which resulted in the Hrst touchdown of the game. The try for point was effectively thwarted, and the Lion was not threatened again until the second quarter, when a bad pass from center got away from Fred Reiger. Archoska, seized the opportunity and fell on the ball as it crossed the goal line. The final touchdown of the game occurred when Norris was blocked while kicking from his 30-yard line. The ball was recovered by Syracuse, and Barbuti and Clarke rushed the ball over KAPLAN RUNS BACK A PUNT Harold Swahn 52661 in short order. This time the try for point was successful, and the score stood at 19-O. The second half was a different story with the Blue and White outplaying the up-staters by a wide margin. The forward pass attack worked well, with a sensational one-hand catch by Norris featuring. However, a lack of punch at the right time and consistently poor punting nullified Columbia's efforts to score. Mike Sesit, playing his final game in the Columbia line-up, did consistently good work. One of the leading defensive stars of the country, he had for three years held down a position at halfback, and was the Lion's most dependable man when a yard or two was needed for a first down. George French, Varsity center, also played his last game for the Blue and White. A substitute for Steve Schimetitsch for two years, he came forward this year to fill one of the key positions of the huddle system admirably. Dutch Reiger led the Columbia attack and received so much punishment that he had to be taken out shortly after Syracuse had held the team for downs on their one-yard line. It was after this play that Syracuse, with its goal threatened by the pos- sibility of a fumble, conceded Columbia a safety and gave the Blue and White its only two points in the game.

In l9l4 he was considered the best basketball player Columbia had ever known and was elected captain of the team, starring alternately as forward and as guard. He played on the team which won the championship for the Blue and White-a feat which it took twelve long years and Mr. Meenan's help as coach to repeat. Following his graduation in 1914, Mr. Meenan did little active work in his favorite sport. From time to time he assisted head coaches in priming their basketball charges, and in the winter of l924-25 he spent several weeks in coaching the Manhattan College quintet. . Meanwhile, Joseph Deering, Columbia's former court mentor, resigned in the spring of l925, and on October 20 of that year, the Athletic Associa- tion announced the appointment of Mr. Meenan as head coach of the quintet which was to restore the pennant honors to Columbia. What followed then is history. With Laub, Rothenfeld, Mannheim, Lorch, and Madden as regulars, and Reiger, Sullivan and Kirchmeyer as able substitutes, Columbia trounced one league opponent after another in a series of unparalleled and unexpected upsets. As the end of the home-and-home series approached, Columbia's triumph was never in doubt, and the Columbia l926 Basketball Team was probably the most deserving aggregation ever to receive the league pennant. Mr. Meenan became celebrated for this Victory, not only on the campus, but also in the Metropolitan press, for despite the line material at his disposal, it was generally admitted that it had been no easy work for him to exterminate the losing streak that seemed to be pursuing Columbials cagemen with relentless energy. Together with the appointment of Head Coach Meenan, came the an- nouncement that Paul Mooney, of New York University, would act as assistant basketball mentor. Mr. Mooney also hails from this city, but Mr. Meenan is four years older than his aid. He attended the High School of Commerce in preparation for college. ln l9l6 he matriculated at N. Y. U. He became popular at once, and was in his senior year one of the Hbig guns of the N. Y. U. campus. His athletic activities at college, other than basket-ball, included track. football, and baseball, but basket-ball was always his favorite sport. He became regular center in his Junior year, starring in the pivot position of the l9l9-20 quintet which won the A. A. U. title. When he graduated, sports Writers called him the greatest center N. Y. U. ever had. Mr. Mooney came to Columbia with previous coaching experience. From 1924-26 he had been employed as assistant coach by his Alma Mater. Since 1926 he has been providing Coach Meenan with excellent material from his Freshman teams. ' . ' ' ' , seasons, was born in' New York City in 1893. After attending f272:I VARSITY BASKETBALL 'J 'a?Qi'ROBABLY the outstanding disappointment of the sports year at i D Columbia was the failure of the basketball team, with three 7136? regulars remaining from the 1925-26 championship team, to figure f as a contender for the title in the Eastern Intercollegiate League ' ' race. There were several reasons for this: the chief one being that the coaches were handicapped by a lack of reserves and the fact that several men who had been counted on as fixtures on the team were ineligible. Another detrimental factor was the lack of a tall center to take the place of Al Mannheim, who for three years, had been getting the jump on most of his opponents. Dutch Reiger, although out of his regular position, Hlled in and excelled in floor work, being one of the high scorers of the team, but his shortness of stature prevented him from getting the tip-off consistently. Jack Rothengeld, one of the stars of the l925-26 team, started the season at forward and, except for a mid-season slump, continued his excellent work of the year before. The other forward position proved harder to fill. At various times Watson, Art Smith, Sullivan and Vladimir Smith all took their places at the position. For a few of the games Captain Jack Lorch was moved forward from guard, but this experiment so weakened the defense that he was moved back again. Bill Madden, another veteran, held down the other guard position. The season opened on December llth, at Columbia, against St. John's College. Columbia leaped into an early lead, but St. John's quickly came up and, despite an improvement in the Columbia attack during the second half, emerged the victor by a score of 35-30. The first victory of the season came four days later when the formidable Rutgers combination fell one point short of winning in a second-half rally. The game was fast throughout, and the shooting on both sides was accurate. The individual star was Alton, of Rutgers, who ran up a total of fifteen points, while Rothenfeld and Reiger, with lClV2 field goals apiece, excelled for the Lions. On December l8th the team traveled to Annapolis and received a second set-back, this time at the hands of the undefeated Naval Academy five. Columbia ran up eight points before the Middies were able to score, and at half time the result stood at ll-7 in favor of the Blue and White. But once again the Lion weakness in reserves was apparent, and the second half saw the Navy run away to a l9-l-4 victory. The annual game with the alumni proved to be much closer and harder- fought than usual, due to the presence of Laub, Kirchmeyer and Mannheim on the opposing team. However, the early lead of the Varsity was never headed, but the appearance of the above-mentioned stars in the second half tightened up the score considerably. The League season opened against Princeton in the latter's gym on Jan- auary Sth. As usual, Columbia started off strongly and at half time led by one point. However, the Lions once again felt the lack of substitutes, and the Tigers stepped forward to win by 31 to 23. Johnny Gartner, Princeton's diminutive forward, was the outstanding player on the floor, scoring fourteen points. Lorch, Rothenfeld and Reiger each scored six points for Columbia. 52731 Columbia's hopes for winning the championship for two years running received another set-back at Hanover on January 12th when the strong Dart- mouth team nosed out the Lions, 30-28, in another last-minute defeat for the Columbia quintet. With one minute to go in the second period, the Blue and White apparently had things sewed up on the long end of a 28-24 score. However, two quick baskets by Dartmouth tied the score, and Vossler fol- lowed up and won the game for the Green with a perfect shot from mid-court. This heartbreaking defeat put a final damper on our League aspirations and provided Dartmouth with the incentive to a League championship. Three days later Cornell came down from Ithaca and provided the oppo- sition for the first home League game. The contest was marked by close guard- ing and slow scoring. The Hnal score was 16-10 in favor of Columbia, Jack Rothenfeld taking the-high scoring honors with seven points to his credit. This game marked the end of the Winter Session and was followed by a two weeks lay-off during mid-years, when it was hoped that Norris and Brady would strengthen the team by becoming eligible. Unfortunately this did not happen, and the season was resumed on February 5 with the former team on the court at West Point. The Cadet defense was excellent, and the soldiers had little trouble in gaining a 32-15 victory. Columbia was forced to rely on long shots because of the close defense exhibited by the Cadets, but this method of attack proved ineffective. The slump continued against Cornell at Ithaca. The team had not yet succeeded in winning a game away from home, and this contest proved no exception. Though the Red team had fallen before the Lions earlier in the season, they reversed matters to win 35-23 in a contest marred by the num- erous fouls called on the Morningside players. Columbia out-scored Cornell in Held goals, but lost on account of the large number of free throws. Deveau, of the lthacans, was the star of the evening, scoring six field goals and four fouls. A large crowd turned out on February l2th to see the annual Alumni Day game with Penn, and was rewarded by one of the most exciting contests ever witnessed in the local gymnasium. Penn was one of the leading con- tenders for the championship at the time, and was rated several degrees stronger than the Lions. At half time the Red and Blue players had a substantial lead of 18-10, and at one time in the second half the score was 22-12 in Penn's favor. This time, however, it was Columbia that pulled up to a fast Hnish. With Dutch Reiger playing his best game of the season, field goal after lield goal fell into the basket. ln the last half-minute, with the score 25-24 against us, he capped the climax with a beautiful basket that gave Columbia the one point lead which was held to the end. This Hash of form led the Lion supporters to expect a repetition of the annual victory over N. Y. U., but once again we were treated to a surprise. The game was one of the sloppiest of the season, marred by poor shooting on Columbia's part, both from the field and the foul line, and resulted in a Violet victory by a 26-23 score. On February 19th Harvard's quintet came to Columbia for a game which was not on the original schedule. Columbia's erratic playing continued. At the end of the first half the Crimson led 13-10, but Columbia finished strongly and easily, capturing the game 32-25. The game was featured by Rothenfeld, 52741 who came out of a slump and returned to form as high scorer for the evening with twelve points to his record. Two days later a return game With Dart- mouth Was played. The Lions were outclassed in every department of play, and only lVladden's excellent defensive Work prevented a worse score. The game was rough and fast, being featured by the clever passing of the Hanover team, Which exhibited the best play that Columbia saw during the year. Columbia's first victory away from home, and third victory for the season, took place at New Haven, on February 26th. The play was ragged, and the result but assured Yale of an ignominious place in the League standing for another season. At half time the Elis lead l3-l0, but in the second half Simmen, Yale's star center, was put out of the game on personal fouls. The Eli attack fell to pieces and Columbia pulled ahead to Win by 27-22 points. Rothenfeld and Reiger tied for high scoring honors with eight points each. As the 1927 COLUMBIAN goes to press, there are still three games to be played in a disappointing season. Dartmouth, our traditional rival, seems to have clinched the League title which our great l926 team Won for us. Hopes for a championship basket-ball team in 1928 are only fair, for Jack Lorch and Jack Rothenfeld, all-collegiate guard and forward respectively, Will be lost to the team. I2751 The Other Coaches Coach Murray AMES MURRAY, fencing coach at'Columbia for the last twenty- Wai nine years, waslborn in Philadelphia in 1873. He attended both grammar and high school in that city. His first relations with his pet sport were made while quite young under Professor Justin A D ' J 'S Bonnafaux, of the Philadelphia Fencing and Sparring Club. Two years later the club sent him to several important meets in New York in which he made such a favorable showing that he was offered the position of Prevot for the New York Athletic Club. Besides accepting this important post he continued work under the noted French master, Armand Jacoby, and soon showed his superiority by fencing against some of the most famous swordsmen of the day. To any who are familiar with the sport, such men as Kirchoffer, Rue, Rouliaux, Merignac, Laurent, and Phillipi command immediate attention, and it was against such luminaries that Mr. Murray had to contend. His efforts were rewarded by his becoming the only American member of the most famous society of fencing in Europe, the Academie d'Armes de Paris, founded in 1565. Jimmie first became connected with Columbia in 1898, when he came here to assist Professor Ciousky who was then acting as coach. Ever since 1900 he has taken care of the coaching by himself, and has developed many indi- vidual champions as well as having turned out more championship teams than any other college in the association. o-46126391---fb Coach Petersen UGUST PETERSEN, coach of wrestling at Columbia since 1915, . .na .., mg was born at Dalarne, Sweden, on July 4th, 1885. He attended elementary school at the same town, and entered the Institute of Chiropractory and Massage at Stockholm, where he studied for two if--MTR years. He came to America in December, 1904, and started work here as an engineer for the Cadillac Motor Company. He soon was called by St. Lukes Hospital to take charge of ambulances, and at the same time was made an instructor of massage in the dispensary. While at St. Lukes, Gus became interested in running at the Y. M. C. A., but upon advice of his doctor deserted the track and took up wrestling. In six years of amateur competition he managed to win the National Cham- pionship for his weight twice, and came second twice. He also captured at least one contest each year in the Metropolitan Championships, winning two events in both 1908 and 1910. On two different occasions he gained a place on the Olympic team, but each time was forced to remain at home, the first time on account of difficulty over naturalization, and the second, because of 52763 accepting a contract to coach at Princeton. He went there in 1912, after a season in which he won both the National and Metropolitan championships in the 145-lb. class. While at Princeton, he devoted his time to coaching Wrestling and also acted as trainer for the football team, besides being on the physical education stall. Three years after his initial bow in college circles, Petersen came to Columbia, where he not only continued as wrestling coach but assumed the responsibility of trainer in all sports. ln 1918 he was made an instructor of swimming in the physical education department, and since then has held this position besides training Freshman Football. Our record since Gus has been at the helm has been a worthy one. Among the individual intercollegiate champions that have been developed are, Lee, Pascarella, Amy, Bairsh, and Johnson, all of whom owe their success to their coach. if-4 Edward T. Kennedy OACH KENNEDY was born in 1889 at Manchester, N. HZ, where he attended High School and where he exhibtedprowess in base- ball, basketball and football. Later, however, his interests veered Epwardsiswimming, and at the age of twenty-four he came to - U olumbia where he has been coach of swimming and waterpolo for thirteen of his thirty-seven years. During his work here at Columbia, Coach Kennedy has developed a number of remarkable men, among whom are Vollmer, Balbach, Krissel, Harburger and Millison. Vollmer is, perhaps, for- gotten to many of the present generation, but he has the distinction of being the only man to hold two individual championship records in the Intercolle- giate Swimming Association for three years in succession, while, more recently, Walter Krissel, lntercollegiate Diving Champion, has demonstrated the value and efliciency of Mr. Kennedy's coaching. Coach Kennedy is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Swimming Rules Committee, and is a former President of the College Coaches' Association of America. f2771 Varsity Swimming W? far T the start of the current swimming season the prospects for a suc X K? class opposition that was scheduled for the Varsity Natators The ling, Eastern Intercollegiate League by the admission of Navy and Dart N N mouth, had become the strongest league of its kind in the country. However, mid-years and the consequent eligibility of several men wrought a decided change in affairs, and as we go to press the squad seems to have an excellent chance of making at least a better record than that of the last couple of years. The season opened on January 12, with a non-league match with Wes- leyan in the Columbia pool. The Blue and White made an auspicious start by easily conquering the Middletown athletes. Horace Davenport carried off the individual honors for the evening by winning the fifty and hundred yard dashes. He also swam anchor man on the victorious relay, the other members of which were Pick, Uhrbrock and Forsyth. The most exciting race was the 200-yard breast. Ince and Dragunas both trailed during the early stages of the race but pulled up towards the end and lnce nosed out Gray of Wesleyan for first place, Dragunas finishing third. Columbia picked up eight points in the back-stroke when Frank Bowden and Bratter finished one-two. The irst league meet of the season followed. The Yale swimmers proved so invincible in their own pool that they turned in a perfect score against the Morningside team. On February 5 the team lost another meet, this time in the local pool. The opposing college was Williams, which came down with a surprisingly well-balanced team of fast swimmers. In this meet two Colum- bia stars made their debut of the season. They were Henry Kumpf and Bill Wright, both of whom had been ineligible to date. The winners in all events made exceptionally excellent time and two Columbia Pool records were broken: Walter Schott of Williams did the 200-yard breast-stroke in l:4-2, and the Blue and White relay team, composed of Uhrbrock, Davenport, Forsyth and Wright, won with l:42 4-lO seconds. The second league meet of the year took place on February llth at C. C. N. Y. Although Columbia won by only four points, the result was never in doubt. Wright, as usual, won the 50 and 100-yard events with Davenport a close second in both. Uhrbrock competed in the back-stroke for the first time, and captured second place. Kumpf once again led the field in the dive. The last event contested, the relay, saw Columbia with a safe lead of twelve points. Columbia captured this event but was disqualified because of the failure of one man to touch one end of the pool in making a turn. Meets are still to be held with Navy, Dartmouth, Syracuse, Penn, amd Princeton, and the outlook seems to be excellent. cessful season seemed rather poor, especially in view of the high ' .

The men who bore the brunt of the work in this victorious season were Captain Affelder, Devereux, Fry, Cahalan, Torrey, Wallace, and Coshland.

During the remainder of the season, the Columbia team will face Nor- wich, Boston University, George Washington, Georgetown, Pennsylvania, Penn State, and Virginia Poly in the Intercollegiate Rifle League Telegraphic Matches. Beside these league matches, the team will fire against the M. I. T. Rifle Team and will also meet Rutgers and C. C. N. Y. in the Metropolitan Prone Championships, the title which is now held by C. C. N. Y. To end the season, the team will compete in the Intercollegiate Shoulder- to-shoulder Rifle Meet which is the match which the majority of the rifle teams of the Eastern and Middle Western colleges all look forward to, for the winner of this contest is generally awarded the highest place among the collegiate rifle teams for that season. Although the Columbia team was disappointed in its attempts to obtain a new and larger range in the new student center, the men are still doing their best in their cramped quarters. 12803 VARSITY RIFLE SQUAD DURAND BONILLA MALRA1soN FRY 1 COSHLAND TORREY CAHALAN JEFFORDS TEAM MEMBERS GEORGE TGRREY, '27 ROBERT COSHLAND 28 Captazn Manager John M.

' Prior to the semi-finals at Annapolis, the team faced seven of the leading college fencing teams in the East and emerged victorious six times. The open- ing meet of the season took place January l6th, when the Varsity defeated the J. Sanford Saltus Club by the score of 9-6. Captain Juan Fuertes scored three of these points when he triumphed in all his foils bouts, while Herts was the other high scorer for Columbia with two triumphs apiece in foils and epee. The Intercollegiate season really got under way when the team travelled to West Point on February 6th and demonstrated, by the score of ll-6, that the Cadets still had something to learn about handling weapons. Once more Fuertes and Herts were the stars, each tallying four points for the Blue and White. A week later the Cornell fencers proved no match at all for the local fencers and were snowed under by a l4-3 score in a meet in the local fencing room. Fuertes turned in his usual three victories in foils, and added two more in epee. Ely won all his bouts in sabre and duelling sword, and was the second high scorer of the day. The only defeat sustained by the Lion in a dual meet all season followed when M. I. T., though defeated in the foils division, gained suiiicient points in epee to nose out a 7-6 victory. However, Columbia reversed the tables when it triumphed over Yale by 9-8 in a meet at New Haven the following Saturday. The margin of victory was obtained by a 5-4 decision in foils after the sabre and epee events had ended in a tie score. Fuertes extended his winning streak with the foil by capturing three more bouts for a total of fifteen straight. The two meets remaining before the Semi-finals both went to Columbia, Hamilton being defeated by the slender margin or one point, while Harvard succumbed at Cambridge by a 8-5 score. In this last contest Fuertes lost his nrst foils bout of the season. On March 20th the Finals of the foils championship were held at Annap- olis, Columbia defeating Princeton 7-2, for a clean sweep over the Big Three: N. Y. U. by 8-1, and Penn, 7-2. Navy defeated the Blue and White in foils for the first time of the season when they won by 5-4. Both Navy and Columbia qualified for the Finals. A week later the epee and sabre semi-finals were also run off at Annapolis. Columbia, by defeating Princeton and Penn, and tieing Navy easily qualified in the sabre division, but two ties and a defeat eliminated the Blue and White from the epee finals. The Intercollegiate Finals were held as usual at the Astor, in New York, and the team, showing the effects of over-training, failed to come through. However, this cannot hide the fact that it had a most successful season. fzszj 1925-26 VARSITY FENCING TEAM coHN HER1-z FUERTES BLOCK TULL MURRAY KCOACHJ The 1925-1926 Varsity Fencing Team JUAN PUERTES, '26 ' HOWARD TULL Captain Manager JAMES MURRAY WAYNE GRUNDEN Coach , Assistant Manager Henry B.

To date six scheduled meets have Fi' i r 'W taken place, live of which have been captured by the Varsity. ln addition, a strong Alumni team of stars was defeated. The only outfit to conquer the Varsity during the present season was the Cornell team which nosed out a one-point victory on Alumni Day. The men who have wrestled most consistently during the year are Nichols, Simmons, Olliphant, Henriquez, Brown, Sesit and Boyle. In addi- tion, Cuneo and Libasci have participated in a couple of meets. Brooklyn Poly was the first opponent on the schedule, and lost by a 19-4 score. Poly's four points were all scored on draw decisions. Olliphant, Hen- riquez, Brown, Boyle and Libasci won on decisions, while Nichols and Sim- mons were the two men held to a draw. The second meet of the year was against Harvard, the New England Champions, who were expected to give Columbia a stiff fight. The Lions surprised the sporting world by crushing the Crimson, 20-3, and avenging their defeat of last year. Simmons threw his opponent in seven minutes, while all the other Columbia representatives won decisions with the exception of I-Ienriquez, who lost after a terrific struggle in two extra periods. , The third contest of the season saw the matmen conquering Syracuse in the local gymnasium. The score was 15M -llyj , and all the bouts were fast and interesting. Olliphant threw his opponent with ease, while Brown fur- nished the high spot of the afternoon by defeating Captain Warner of Syra- cuse. The last bout of the meet, between Cuneo and Patterson, kept the spec- tators on their toes all the time. The strong Penn wrestling team furnished the opposition next in a meet held at Philadelphia, February 5. The decision was in doubt until the final bout between Joe Boyle and Don Strohm in the unlimited class. Though Boyle usually wrestles in the 158-pound class, while Strohm tips the beam at 250, the Columbia man had little trouble in gaining the three points necessary to give us a 14-13 victory. One of the surprises of the meet was Mike Sesit's defeat in the heavyweight class for the first time this season. Simmons and Henriquez won their bouts on decisions, while Brown gained five points when his opponent was forced to quit. The one defeat of the year, so far, was inflicted by the Cornell team, the present Intercollegiate champions. Although Columbia won four of the seven bouts contested, two of Cornell's victories were on falls and were sufficient to give the big Red team a 13-12 victory. Simmons, Olliphant, Brown and Sesit all won on decisions, while Boyle and 1-lenriquez were thrown. Nichols lost on decision. Williams provided little serious opposition on February 19, and the Lion Team resumed its victorious march. The featured bout saw Captain Sesit defeating Captain Packard in the unlimited class with a time advantage of seven minutes. Simmons threw his opponent, while Nichols, Olliphant, Henriquez and Brown won on decision. Libasci was the only Columbia representative to lose.

Solomon The Season ROBABLY no showing made by a freshman squad in many years 'W has brought so much satisfaction to Columbia supporters as the Q .,5.qg performance of the l929 Freshman Crew. Although none but f ig the most optimistic expected much for the first year of Varsity L 5 rowing, with men handicapped by several different styles of row- ing, it was hoped that the Glendon genius would be exhibited on the Fresh- men, none of whom had rowed a stroke previous to entering Columbia. The result was that the Glendons put on the water a Freshman crew, trained in the new stroke, that won every collegiate race that they entered, and walked away with the intercollegiate rowing championship at Poughkeepsie. The frosh crew lost but one race, and that their initial one, to Kent School, the scholastic champions. A poor start and lack of experience allowed Kent to win by four feet, with the powerful Freshman crew raising the stroke too late to catch them. From this point on the season was a complete success. In the first big race of the year at Derby the frosh, rowing an erratic first half mile, finally nosed out Penn in a thrilling contest, while Yale came last. A week later M. I. T. trailed the yearlings in a one-mile encounter on the Harlem. In the Childs Cup Regatta at Princeton they subdued the Tiger frosh in an exciting race, with Penn third. Two days later the Freshman eight went to Phila- delphia and again defeated the University of Pennsylvania boat. It was during the month's sojourn at Poughkeepsie that they really learned to row the Glendon stroke, and they developed into a very formidable outfit.. The Poughkeepsie Regatta was the greatest triumph of the season, and the greatest Columbia victory on the water for some time. The Freshmen, with a good start and a heart-breaking stroke, made a procession out of the race, defeating the highly rated University of California frosh by ive and one-half lengths, with the other three crews strung out far behind. f29l1 Coach Cook William T. Doc Cook, who has coached the W Freshman football and baseball teams since l922, was g 1-wg ,W born at Peru, lllinois. However, his parents moved to lowa when he was 5 or 6 years old, and so he attended school at Cedar Falls. His high school activities were chiefly devoted to athletics and he was captain of football, baseball and track. These apparently have always been his favorites sports. He attended Iowa State Teachers College for four years, beginning in l904. While there he was a classmate of Coach Merner as well as Coach y W Hauser, football coach at Colgate. He again participated st 85,533 in football, baseball and' track, playing quarterback on 4 ssgevgk at the eleven and winning his letters in all three sports. He took further courses at Springfield College, Springneld, M ,B X Massachusetts, until l9ll. He continued to play foot- ball and became captain of the baseball team. After his graduation from Springfield, Doc began his teaching and coaching career at the Hill School, Pottsdam, Pennsylvania. From l9ll to 1913 he coached baseball and football, and was instructor of Physical Training at that institution. He then filled in as coach of the same sports for two years at Davidson College, North Carolina. He came to New York in 1915 and accepted a position in the Physical Training department of DeXVitt Clinton High School. His system of coach- ing soon bore fruit in several champion baseball and football teams, He came to Columbia in l92l as director of Freshman Athletics. Two ears later he was appointed Assistant Professor of Physical Education. He ndertook the coaching of freshman football, relieving his former schoolmate, Coach Merner, of this responsibility. His success continued, for he turned out championship football teams in l9Z2 and 1924. Many men who later proved Hs wife S its .,,a..w,-l. ,V ,V,-,..,..

Among these are Pease, Schimetisch and Wagnerg and more recently, Reiger, Madden, Norris, Brady and Furey, and the other men who have made names on the Varsity. The results of his coaching were such a great help to the Varsity that the Athletic Association decided that perhaps he could perform a similar service for Andy Coakley in his baseball work. They therefore founded a Freshman Baseball Team from the members of the Class of l927. This team went through its schedule without losing a game, and this record has been main- tained by every team since then. ln 1925 fully half of the men to make the Varsity squad were Sophomores of the Class of l927, among them being Lorch, Ray, Rothenfeld, Trentacosti and Fitch. These men are now about their third year of Varsity baseball. Six more Sophomores who had played on the Freshman team were stars through the last Varsity season. These include Art Smith and Ed Lautenbacher, the pitching aces, Kunitz, Kaplan, Whitaker, Norrisg and one will recall that it was to this well-trained material that Andy Coakley was able to teach the finer points of the game and turn out a cham- pionship nine. f2921 TM w29FwMmm2BwwdlPmwmwl JOSEPH J.

Ten games were all played which is the longest season ever scheduled for a Columbia ' FTFOMQ yearling baseball outfit. The main feature of the '29 team was its fighting spirit, three of the games being won by a margin of one run. The most important game of the season was, of course, the Cornell contest which the Frosh had no trouble in winning by a 6-1 score. Joe Burke, the yearling pitcher, fanned twelve of the Ithaca cubs. While the 1929 baseball team developed several men who will, no doubt, be of great value to the Varsity next season, in Joe Burke it produced one out- standing star. Burke not only pitched the whole ten games for the Frosh, but he established an enviable strike-out record of 127 for the season. In the last game of the year he fanned nineteen opponents. After the contest he was elected captain of the team. The 1930 Freshman Football Season 7 'EL -Q LAYING through a season consisting of only live games, the 1930 Freshman Football Team emerged victor in the majority of them. The team opened the season on October 8, the Jayvees offer- lil-LQW ing the opposition. The yearlings found it rather an easy assign- ment to trounce the upperclassmen and succeeded in scoring a touchdown in every period. Two successful kicks for point after touchdown brought the score to 26-0. In the next contest, with New York Military Academy at Cornwall, the Hrst reversal of the season was suffered when the Frosh lost a close encounter by the score of 9-6. Against Mackenzie, the team ran Wild, scoring 39 points, in addition to holding their opponents scoreless, On October 30 the team traveled to Ithaca, only to meet defeat at the hands of the strong Cornell Freshmen. The game was played in a driving rain, and the light Columbia yearling backiield found it impossible to get started. Jameson and Levy were the stellar lights for the Ithacans. The last game of the season proved a complete success, the Freshmen routing Concordia Prep to the tune of 34-7. A ,Ae f295:I A The 1930 Basketball Team Julius Seaman, Captain Richard W.

Q tential sfrs wlilo Wiglggrpve to be quite a welcome asset to the Var- gfg' sity trac squa in . During the season the Frosh trackmen opposed Stuyvesant, N. Y, U. Freshmen, and Rutgers Freshmen. They dropped all three-by rather one-sided scores. However, there were four or five men who consistently stood out as winners for the Blue and White. In the Stuyvesant meet on May 4, the winners for the Frosh were Sacco, who copped the 220 in the fast time of 23 2-5 seconds, Rowe in the half-mile run, 'O'Grady in the mile run, and Kumpf in the pole vault. Against N. Y. U. Freshmen, all four mentioned above succeeded in finishing first again, and another addition was made when Battelle took the 220 high hurdles. Against Rutgers, Sacco again proved his ability by winning both the 100 and 220-yard dashes. A noticeable weakness last year was the lack of men in the iield events, this probably accounting for the reverses suffered throughout the season. f297:I Freshman Rifle Because the 19 30 Fresh- FROSH RIFLE TEAM man rifle team has, to date, engaged in only three meets, no real judgment can be passed on its ability. The Choate School rifle team was defeated by a generous score, while the Freshmen have fallen before the Syracuse yearlings and the nimrods of the Central High School of Washington. The men who have been the best shots to date are: Captain Woods, Dan- iels, Furbush, Kirkland and Housekeeper. Meets are still to be shot with the Princeton and Rutgers yearlings, as well as the representatives of East High of Salt Lake City and Evander Childs High School. sp-4cfgGf,,Q?blvl+ The 19 3 0 Freshman C ross-C oun try Team The 1930 Frosh cross- country season was generally considered a very satisfactory one. Three meets were sched- uled, of which two resulted in victories, while the third was lost by the slender mar- gin of one point. In the ln- tercollegiates, which wound up the season, the squad made an excellent showing by placing fourth.

The second meet was against the New York University Freshmen, who nosed out the Columbia cubs by a 27-28 score. Later in the season the C. C. N. Y. Freshmen team was defeated, 24-3 l. The captain and star of the 1930 team was Joseph Hagen, who won all three of the dual meets and came home third in a very large field in the Inter- collegiates. He is the most promising Cross Country runner who has entered Columbia in a long time and should show up well on the Varsity next season. Other men who turned in consistently fast time during the fall included Lof, Joyce, Curtman, Housekeeper and Johnson. L29sJ 1929 Freshman Fencing The 1929 Frosh Fenc- ing Team scored a total of five victories in seven meets. It not only had a successful season, but also developed several men who are proving of great value to the present 1926-27 Varsity Team. The season opened with a 6-3 victory over the Mad- ison Avenue Presbyterian Church, The Yale Cubs re- versed this score a week later in a meet at New Haven, but the Freshmen came back to defeat the teams of lVlcBur- ney School and Newark Nor- mal in the next two contests. Both these contests were close and ended with 5-4 scores. The hardest meet of the season followed when the experienced fencers of the New York Military School defeated the Frosh, 7-2. The Cadets always turn out a team which ranks with most college outfits. The last two meets proved easy, Townsend Harris succumbing, 7-2, while the Paterson High School team was conquered by a 6-3 score. The most promising fencers on the Freshman Squad included Cautino, Alessandroni, Tomkins and Brociner THE 1929 FRESI-IMAN FENCING TEAM 4-iwiknvl-s g F rosb Wrestling The 1 9 3 O wrestling team has, so far this season, succeeded in winning only one of its four meets, but considering the fact that the men are mostly all inexperi- enced and the scores have been for the greater part close, this showing is not at all bad. The season o p e n e d . against the Brooklyn Poly THE 1930 FROSH WRESTLING TEAM Junlm' Vafsiflb C0lU1T1bl9' winning flve of the seven bouts contested for a 15-10 victory. A week later the wrestlers of the Land and Sea Club carried off a close victory. The Yale Freshmen easily won by a score of 24-3. The one other meet contested so far this season was with Poly Prep's strong aggre- gation. As we go to press, two more meets are scheduled, one with Newark Normal, the other with Princeton Freshmen. 52991 Freshman Swimming Outside of the perform- l ances of a few outstanding men, the showing of the 1930 Freshman Swimming Team so far this season has been nothing to write home about. The frosh have taken part on four meets, losing all of them. The Victorious opponents include Brooklyn Poly Prep, Stuy- vesant High School, George Washington and Blair. Columbia's main strength . has been the diving, where Zeitlin and Vann have been THE 1930 FRESHMAN SWIMMING TEAM performing Consistently all season. Schwerin, in the breast-stroke has also done well, scoring two first places. Other creditable performers were Giddings, Lancaster and Alstad. 1929 Freshman Tennis The Freshman Tennis Team had a fairly successful 1 season last spring, Winning six of its nine matches. The season opened on April 16, when the Lion Frosh won from Horace Mann by a score of 5 to O. The next encounter was close, George Washington High School winning 3 to 2. The N. Y. U. Freshman team was de- feated 4 to 1, Roxbury won from the Frosh in the next encounter, 3 to 2. Then the Freshmen won four matches, beating St, paulsy Trinity, THE 1929 FRESHMAN TENNIS TEAM New York Military Academy and Poly Prep, but lost their last match to the Princeton Freshman' team. f300j Interclass Athletics 'Fwy 6 N a university as large as Columbia, it is obvious that only a small IKM x percentage of the undergraduate men can be connected with the regular Varsity and Freshman sports. lt is very often impossible, 3 because of the time at which practice is held, for some men to attend. ash Others cannot afford to put in as much time as the regular sport requires. However, it seems to be the very general consensus of opinion among the students and the Faculty that means should be provided so that these men can indulge in sport competition. lt is for this reason that Student Board, Spiked Shoe and various other groups sponsor intra-mural athletics in its various branches. Both the 1926 and 1927 Student Boards conducted a larger number of interclass athletic events than did their predecessors in office. Boxing, wrestling, basket-ball. baseball and swimming contests were run off and Spiked Shoe conducted its usual two interclass track meets, one in the late winter and the other in the spring. The first interclass competition in the spring of 1926 was the Spiked Shoe meet. On March 3rd the Sophomores ran up 43 points to win by a goodly margin from the Juniors, who were second with 27 2-3. The Freshman, who failed to garner a single first, were next with 20 1-3 points, while 1926 brought up the rear, gathering only 15 points. Lester Archambeau, '28, was the high scorer, winning the 70-yard low hurdles in 9 4-5 seconds, as well as the run- ning broad jump, with a leap of 18 feet 8M inches for a total of ten points. The Sophomores were victors in the mile relay. In all, they took five first places, the Seniors getting three and the Juniors two. lnterclass basket-ball also commenced in March. The tourney came to a conclusion on the seventh and the Juniors won the title with live victories and no defeats. The Seniors trailed 1927, winning three of their contests and dropping two. The Sophomores and Freshman tied for last with one triumph and four setbacks apiece. ln the decisive game the Juniors clinched the title by nosing out the Seniors, 19 to 16. The game was very close throughout and the score seesawed up and down, with the Seniors in the lead at half time, 6-5. Trentacosti scored the winning basket for the 1927 aggregation, with but three minutes to play. Finals in the boxing and wrestling competition were held in conjunction with the last basket-ball game on March 7th. By capturing three of the seven wrestling encounters, the yearlings established their supremacy on the mat, being followed by the Seniors, with two victories, and the Juniors and Soph- omores, with one apiece. Nichols, '29, Tassi, '29, Steiner, '28, and Henriquez, '26, threw their opponents, and Libasci, '27, gained the referee's decisions in the 125-pound, 158-pound and unlimited divisions. Interest in the boxing bout exceeded that of any of the other sports, the excited spectators wildly cheering their respective favorites. Most of the bouts were closely fought, the 145-pound set-to resulting in a draw after an extra round following the extra three sessions. Rubin, '28, defeated Nobes, '27, in the 115-pound event. Finley, '27, knocked out Cauldwell, '28, in the 125-pound scrap after one of the most exciting scraps of the afternoon. ln the 135-pound class, Sardner, of the Sophomores, scored a victory over Syms, fJJf1-hal .152 53011 of the Seniors, while in the next weight class O'Connell, '26, and Miller, '28, drew. This bout and the remaining three on the schedule were postponed until March 18th. In the return bout, the affair quickly developed into a rout, O'Connell knocking out Miller in the first round. Rothenfeld, the Junior basket-ball and baseball star, defeated Heigman, '29, in one of the roughest bouts of the tourney. Ray Kirchmeyer, '26, scored two first-round knockouts in the next two weight classes, triumphing over Kuehl, '28, in the 175-pound scrap and beating Maksen, of the Sophomores, in the unlimited division. ln conjunction with the annual Kilroe gold medal contest to determine the best 158-pound wrestler in the University, a series of wrestling bouts were run off for novices of all weights, silver medals being presented to the winner in each class. Carlos Henriquez, '26, conquered Russell Molyneux, '26, in the Kilroe affair. ,Marcus, of the Sophomores, won the 115-pound event, while Andriette and Simmons, both Freshman, scored victories in the 125 and 135- pound divisions, respectively. Wilson and Craven, of the Seniors, scored vic- tories in the next two weight classes and Zaklasnick and Aryres, of the year- lings, finished first in the 175-pound and unlimited divisions. ln the second Spiked Shoe track meet held in mid-May, the Freshman reversed the result of the earlier encounter, where they had failed to capture a single first, scoring an overwhelming victory by rolling up 59 points, twenty more than the second year representatives could gather. The Juniors totaled 23 points, while the Seniors came in a poor last, with 5. The meet brought out some sterling all-round performances on the part of two Freshman, Kumpf and Winkopp, the former scoring 13 points and the latter l2. Kumpf came in first in the pole-vaulting and the discuss throwing encounters and placed second in the 220-yard low hurdles. Winkopp also captured two firsts, Win- ning both the broad jump and the high jump, and placing third in the javelin throw and in the pole vault. Ivan Veit, a Sophomore, set the Baker Field record in winning the 100- yard dash, and Johnny Sacco, star of the yearling team, captured the 220- yard race. Litwin, '28, won the 440-yard race and Broughton scored the only triumph for 1926 when he led the pack home in the half-mile test. Another Freshman star, Dan O'Grady, easily carried off the honors in the mile run, while Massa, a Sophomore, placed first in the two-mile grind. The yearlings captured the next five events on the program, Battelle capturing the 120-yard high hurdle affair and Myers triumphing in the low hurdle event. Kumpf scored his pole vault victory and Winkopp contributed his double triumph. Bill Madden, '28, 1926 football captain, forged ahead in the shot put event. Kumpf then scored in the discus and Jaycox, a Junior, ended the afternoon by tossing the javelin farther than any of his competitors. As a last gesture in the realm of interclass athletics, the 1926 Student Board conducted a baseball tourney just after the track meet. Varsity men were ineligible and consequently the Freshman were favored, since most of the substitutes and some of the regulars on their regular class team turned out for the contest. By conquering the Juniors in a preliminary game, the year- lings earned the right to meet the Seniors, who had conquered the Sophs, in the game to decide interclass supremacy. However, Dalway, the Hrst-year hurler who had worked so nicely against the Juniors, ran into a sudden stream of wildness, yielding eight bases on balls. The Seniors, with the redoubtable George Pease, 1925 gridiron leader, occuping Lsozj the mound, were playing much better baseball than the 1929 aggregation and the game resulted in an ll-to-3 victory for the graduating class. lnaugurating the new academic year, Student Board co-operated with Coach Ed Kennedy to run an interclass swimming meet and water polo tour- ney in early December. The Sophomores scored an impressive victory in the swimming contests, securing five out of seven firsts and two seconds. The Seniors followed with one first, two seconds and three thirds. The Juniors captured the remaining first place and were followed in the standing by 1930. Alfred Forsyth, '27, captured the 50-yard free style race, and Terrence Tyson, a Junior, was Hrst in the 220-yard event. All the other events were won by second-year men, Theodore Jorgensen capturing the 440-yard swim and Horace Davenport winning the 200-yard breaststroke contest. Frank Bowden was nrst in the 150-yard backstroke and Frank Zittlen rolled up the most points in the fancy dive. The Sophomores captured the relay. ln the water polo matches, the Frosh earned the right to enter the final by beating the Sophs. The Seniors captured the other preliminary from the Juniors in the last minute of play, Curran scoring a touch goal for five points. making the score 11 to 8. Little scoring had been done until the second half, when Bob Schnitzer put the Seniors in the lead with a touch goal. Mont- gomery evened it up for 1928 and Matske put the Juniors ahead with two fouls. Then Curran snatched victory from the lower class with his goal. In the deciding game on December 9th, the Seniors took the title by beating 1930, 20 to 10. Uhrbrock and Skinner starred for the graduating class team, the latter excelling in his pass work. Uhrbrock and Bowden, of the Varsity swim- ming team, with Saron, Erlich, Curran, Schnitzer and Skinner, made up the championship 1927 roster. The last event of the year 1926 was a handball tourney. O. del Guidice, '27, won the singles by beating H. Hetkin, '27, in the final, 21-7, 21-11. Del Guidice, paired with F. Urso, '27, beat G. Lichtman and M. Price, a Sophomore combination, for the doubles crown. Leonard Drake, '28, man- aged the tourney. ln the early part of the spring, two more interclass contests were held. William D. Wright, '27, won the all-round swimming title of the University by placing first with the low total of 11 points in the Eimer swimming con- test. These contests are run off under the terms of a gift by the friends of the late A. O, Eimer, '06. The gift supplies suliicient money to provide medals for Hrst, second and third place winners. A. S. Forsyth, '29, was second with 12 points, Horace Davenport, '29, was third with 15 markers and C. K. Conard, '27, came in fourth with 16 points. The Freshman were victorious in the early Spiked Shoe track meet, with a total of 37 points. The Sophomores trailed with 30, while the Juniors and Seniors followed with 21 and 7, respectively. Johnny Sacco, '29, and Joe Hagen, '30, were the stars of the meet. Sacco placed second in the 75-yard dash, and as anchorman on his class relay team made up a ten-yard handicap to beat out lvan Veit, '28, for first place. Hagen won the mile run in 4.57 and was also fourth in the half-mile. Ed Joyce, '30, won a thrilling duel with Brause, '29, in the two-mile grind, beating the Sophomore by a scant two feet. Jelfords, a Senior, made fast time in the half-mile, coming home in 2.06. Griffith, '29, won the 75-yard dash and Battelle, another Sophomore, cap- tured the hurdles. The Freshman scored two victories in the three field events, 113031 Bryson clearing the bar at 10 feet and Hanley scoring a victory in the shot put with a heave of 47 feet 4-M inches. Keppel, '28, won the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 3 inches. As COLUMBIAN goes to press an even greater schedule of spring class sports is being contemplated by Student Board.

Greenberg Book V King'is Crown Activities KINGS CRUVUJ O 000 l ,hui Y - BOARD OF GOVERNORS King's Crown Board of Governors non-athletic activities at' Columbia University are centralized 1n a general governing organization known as King s Crown, whose fundamental purpose is two-fold: first to effect a close cooperation and benent of the student body in student activities, second, to Q4 furnish continual supervision and regulation, thus guarding the University from any embarrassment due to ill-considered plans or badly man- aged finances. Membership for undergraduates is open to all students in Columbia Uni- versity and consists of payment of an activity fee, which is from time to time fixed by the University oiicials. Sustaining membership is open to all grad- uates, former students, officers and members of any faculty of Columbia Uni- versity or any of the afliliated schools or colleges, upon payments of dues as fixed by the King's Crown Board of Governors. Four undergraduates elected yearly from the student membership by the students, three graduates and two officers of the University appointed by the President of the University, comprise the Board of Governors of King's Crown. The Treasurer, an appointive oiiice of the Board and at the same time under its direct supervision, regulates the financial policies of the various organizations. Each year, all activities are re- quired to submit through their Nlanagers budgets to the Board for approval before commencing any of their operations. Using these budgets as working bases, all subsequent contracts, orders, estimates and ventures of any nature whatsoever are further submitted to the Treasurer for his approval. Yet the Boardys sphere is primarily financial once an activity is recognized as official. The activities are ex- pected and encouraged to de- velop their own policies in the best interest of their undertak- ing that will reflect upon them- selves and upon the University. The growing importance of extra curricular activities in Columbia University students' life becomes more and more ap- parent every year, and the num- ber of students involved in these activities continually grows lar- ger. The number of these non- BEN HUBBARD athletic activities at Columbia GRADUATE TREASURER College covers a wide range of b 1 interests, and presents opportu- nity in many fields of endeavor. They include in the way of publications, a 53081 daily newspaper, a monthly Comic, two literary magazines and a College An' nual. The stage is covered in its sphere by the Philolexian Society, which an- nually presents a play-usually Elizabethan in character-while the Varsity Show turns its endeavors to musical comedy, not forgetting the Soph Show, a farce presented by each Sophomore Class. The Musical circles are well taken care of by the University Cilee Club, the Instrumental Club,'Band and the Orchestra, thus giving every opportunity for the musician to use and improve his talents. Finally the Debating Council attracts those men of forensic ability, and Chess 'those of mental aptitude. ' College, activities have long ceased to be merely an outlet for expending effervescent energy 3 they have become a part of the students' education, anda very valuable part indeed, and quite frequently these activities play an impor- tant partin deciding for an undergraduate the Vocation he follows after grad- uation. . ' ' . lt is ,for this side of College life that King's Crown stands, and undoubt- edly renders a service to its student members as valuable as education does for his cultural and athletics for his physical make-up.

Staff of COLUMBIAN to conceive and carry out all the plans that are represented between the covers of this volume. The general scheme itself was mapped out over a year ago and ever since then we have been mobilizing our material. The Q V L number of people who have lent us invaluable aid is larger than has ever been QQ' known in the history of COLUMBIAN. To list all these people would take up quite a volume in itself. We shall not attempt it. Instead we shall try to name the people who have been most untiring and faithful in helping us. ln so doing we are conscious that there is grave danger of omitting some name that should have been mentioned. If such should happen we hope that no offense will be caused and that any such person will feel that we really have appreciated his friendship and aid. First, we must thank the great number of our fellow-students who have contributed innumerable articles. feature stories, art work and suggestions that have helped to make this book more truly representative of the College. For counsel and advice we are indebted to Ben Hubbard, who has been a staunch friend and kindly critic: to Dr. Arrowsmith for his help in regard to College's tradition: to Miss Bessie E. Ellinson. of White Studio. Jacques Barzun has also been very kind in helping us decide matters which required editorial consideration. We wish to thank Dean Woodbridge for his Contribution. For the clever articles in the Senior Section we are indebted to Alan Max. Jacques Barzun. Cecil Hopkins, Phil Humphrey, Wood McClure and for the illustrations we must acknowledge our thanks to Bill Bolte. For the general articles throughout the book we wish to express our gratitude to such men as Cliff Nobes, Prank Utting, Jacques Barzun, Sam Murray, Carl Boyer, Erank Pitt, Art Jansen and the many others. The Department of Buildings and Grounds has been most courteous, as have been Mr. Thorn and his staff of electricians, in helping us with the taking of formal group pictures. The staff of artists of White Studio have also been very kind in helping us solve illustrative problems. We thank Mr. Irvin Silver and Mr. Harry J. Read, of The Read-Taylor Company, for their close cooperation and advice in our work. For the art work in the book we thank Bummy Rous, our Art Editor: Henry Grant, Bob Farlow, Max Feldman, and the other artists who contributed plates. We cannot pass without recording our deep gratitude and appreciation, which words can hardly express. to Hal Swahn, who, although a graduate student, gave his time and friendship as our Photographic Editor. He also contributed most of the hand lettering as well as the two large plates in the opening pages. In connection with photos we give due credit to Oliver Nicoll, Alan Perl and Stewart Sharpe. The members of the Senior Board and Junior Board have all been very faithful and have made it possible to publish COLUMBIAN on schedule. We are especially thankful for the good work of our Assistant Editor, Hank Crampton, and to Cliff Curran, our Managing Editor. Never before has there been a COLUMBIAN Board that has worked together so well and so untiringly as that of the 1927 COLUMBIAN. at 5 JN9 WMM it Uwe-1, f3l2:I The 1927 Columbian The Sixty-fourth volume of Columbia Col- lege's oldest existing publication is now in your ' hands. As you will see, the Board has continued the traditional policy of putting into permanent form a picture as true as possible of the undergraduate life of its day. How successful it has been the reader must judge for himself. The work of planning the book has stretched over almost two years. The Editors of the past books have been careful to prepare the men of the succeeding boards for their work, passing on records of their experience and making suggestions for the future. The '27 Board has been just as careful in this important phase of its work. The men on the Junior Board have also been required to actively par- kr W r W . ticipate in the preparation of this book. The organization of the staffs, however, has AE3T,l?1Ei5lREqi:,lgv-QFES been greatly changed by a thorough revision of the constitution. ln the future, that is beginning with the '29 book, the work will be done by a Board composed of Juniors, with a Managing Board of Seniors directing their efforts. The competition for po- sitions will, therefore, start in the Freshman year rather than in the Sophomore and will last three years. The art work of the present volume has been built up around an architectural theme which was 5 suggested by the sharp contrast between old East Hall 5 and John Jay. The expensive color plates were made possible by a brilliant art staff and an exceed- T ingly efficient Business Board. The rather early publication of this COLUM- BIAN has been made possible by the increased interest which was inspired in the staffs by the snappy atmos- phere of the new oflice in John Jay Hall. While there was a certain peculiar good-fellowship wrought by the common hardship which we had to endure while pounding out our work in East Hall, there has been a decided pleasure in having our work well or- dered and filed away in a safe place as soon as com- pleted. Then, too, the centralization of activities has made it easier to reach the -heads of the various other organizations and secure their cooperation as well as that of the members of their staffs. As soon as 'this book is off the press, the annual banquet will be held to celebrate the occasion and to formally inaugurate the incoming administration. At that time the Editorial Ring will be passed on to Henry E. Crampton, Jr., will Edit the 1928 COLUMBIAN. LEO E. BROWN BUSINESS MANAGER H131 BUMMY RO US ART EDITOR CLIFFORD F.

ASSISTANT EDITOR HAROLD SWAHN PHOTO GRAPHIC EDITOR f3161 Glnlumhia ivpertainr Spectator That Spectator, journal of Columbia under- graduate life, should have much the same to report from one year to the next is quite inevitable. It may vary, though, in its attitude towards the differ- ent interests of the student. p During the past year, there have been two chief topics for discussion, both fundamental. The col- lege curriculum and the status of athletics were fre- quently considered. ln dealing with the courses, the age-old ques- tions of compulsory attendance, compulsory exam- inations, and of required courses were surveyed. The last, unusually enough, was thought desirable, and i further faculty guidance in the choice of courses was suggested. Pre-professional courses were disliked, in so far as they pretended to provide collegiate ed- CLIFFORD E, NOBES ucation. The pre-theological course was the single EDITOR-IN-CHIEF exception made. Athletics were considered with a new back- ground. Rather delinitely influenced by the storm that had burst on intercol- legiate football during the previous spring, and which continued during the year, the l927 managing board urged a sports for sports' sake policy. It sought the elimination of the use of the games for the advertisement of the College and for the amusement of non-players, be they undergraduates, alumni or outsiders. The paper reflected the satisfaction with which John .lay was greeted by the undergraduate body and M- urged that it have an intellectual as well as a purely ' social influence. Freshman rules were discussed at length and a referendum resulted. The College voted in favor of them. The widespread feeling that bas- ket-ball should be a major sport was crystalized shortly before that event took place. ln the news columns the same policies were fol- lowed as far as was possible. Athletic news was less prominently displayed. A new column, Others Say, printed editorials from other university news- papers. The other departments continued along the traditional lines.

Schnitzer The Columbia Jester Jester is one of the best known and perhaps the most famous of'Columbia College's undergraduate publications. lt certainly has the largest circulation and the most gloriously irresponsible staff of any campus activity. Jester is scribbled on the backs of envelopes, using ancient and delete beer kegs as tables, rushed to the printer with frantic exhortations and dummied in the small hours of the morning when the chapel tower has dismally and cynically tolled out more hours than it is respectable to hear. Thus the prod- uct appears on the campus-a product of happy-go- lucky youth, nonchalant and carefree. The retiring board began their career with the Vernal Urge number, devoted to flower drenched thoughts of springtime. This was followed-the board happily not leaving college-by the Beach number, which dealt with the subject of life on the various beaches, from local life guards to Hawaiian beach combers. In the fall the Collegiate num- . . ber was featured Hrst, the material centering around WOOD MCCLURE college life. In November a Physical Culture EDITOR-IN-CHIEF number, satirizing the aims and effects of physical culture appeared. A vent to those disappointed in love came with the appearance of the Woman Haters' number in December. Next a Psychological number appeared, poking fun at that band of savants known as psychologists. Following this there appeared a Manhattan num- ber dealing with subjects local to Columbia. ln March appeared the Tabloid number, poking fun at the modern phenomena in the newspaper world known as tabloid newspapers. The beautiful part of it is that the undergraduate is free to poke fun at anything he chooses in any way he chooses. This is far from the professional type of humorous magazines, who limit their contributors to certain types of humor and art work, resulting in a dreadful sameness. The fact that the college undergraduate does not have to make a living s , through his brush or pen reflects in his work, giving it a delicious irresponsibility. Wood McClure upset a few favorite campus beliefs when he and his staff took office. One of these was that the campus was creative sterile. More good artists and writers were discovered by the new board than ever before. By hard work the new editor and his staff succeeded in again placing Jester in the college comic leadership, which place rightfully belongs to the Columbia college comic and which gan only be retained by unrelenting drives for candi- ates. The insouciance and vernal charm of a college comic can be retained by printing original and appeal- ing material and not following any set standards of humor. lf they do this, as Jester has tried, they may ARTHUR HOWELL know success.

Josephson Varsity The fact that literary interest and ability do ' not stream forth steadily from inexhaustible sources makes the existence of undergraduate literary mag- azines both precarious and intermittent. lf illustra- tion were needed, the Varsity of a year ago would suflice. Poor finances, dispersed energies, and general lack of interest were obvious causes of a severe slump. lt is true that two numbers were issued during the year that might bear comparison with other colleges and other times. Yet it was felt that, in the Colum- bia tradition, Volume Vll failed to realize its oppor- tunities. Henry Morton Robinson expressed the intelligent campus opinion when he said of the May, 1926, issue: T lf I may venture to make a prophecy that . Varsity will never be important or respected on this JACQUES M- BARZUN Campus until the editors decide to march front to- EDITOR-IN-CHIEF wards some ideal clearly conceived by themselves. No matter how the undergraduate mob may roar in protest, neglect in apathy, or follow in complacent submission, that the mob will follow is certain. Whether the present editors have clearly conceived an ideal, or whether the Hundergraduatepmobn has proved more tractable, it remains a fact that a new wave of enthusiasm has once more set afloat the lichened barque of Columbia undergraduate literature,-by this time an octogenarian vessel. The substantial numbers, in effect, which have appeared regularly since October have evoked general confidence in the editors' capabilities and well-nigh unanimous recog- nition of their literary and intellectual worth. Three qualified critics have variously attested this fact, with ' evident awareness of the new unity and tone of the Magazine. Of the October issue, Nlortimer Adler said: The possession of definite character is probably the sign of maturity in a magazine as well as in a man. lt is a pleasant trait because whether we like this par- ticular character or that, we may at least enjoy a certain assurance that we know with what we are dealing. The current issue of Varsity has made an appreciably great stride toward achieving that excel- lence. The succeeding number, Emery Neff felt, was even superior to its predecessor in quality and variety. It displays an intellectual and esthetic curi- osity most creditable to the Campus, while the Feb- , . ruary issue led Irwin Edman to state that the editors RAPHAEL KALVIN seem to have made these successive issues of Varsity BUSINESS MANAGER the expression of what an avowedly literary college I magazine should be, the exhibition of the critical and intellectual and creative best that any current body of college men has to offer. 53221 JACQUES M.

I H3231 The Blue Book 1 ffwmfm' seventeenth volume of the Columbia College handbook was published in the fall of 1926 for the general use of Freshman and other Students. This book was irst pubiished by the C. U. C. A. in 1895 and it was not until 1922 that it was taken over by the g5W'9'2': Spectator. It is a source of general information, a song-book, campus guide and what-not. This latest volume has many novel features which were gathered by the efforts of the editorial board. For the first time the regulations for awarding the athletic insignias and King's Crowns were published and the description of each organization . , was enlarged and brought up to date. A Who's Who and What's What section helped all new- comers to the campus to easily get into the swing of things at Columbia. The Editorial work was directed by Samuel E. Murray 3rd, and he was assisted by Arthur Pribourg, '28, Abraham Milbert, '29, and Harold Neuberger, '29, Berton Delmhorst, '29, also gave a great deal of his time. The Business Board, headed by Geo. E. Elpern, '28, made a new record for the number of adver- tisers in- the book. SAMUEL E. MURRAY, 3RD EDITOR SAMUEL E. MURRAY, 3RD, '28 Editor-in-Chief GEORGE S.

Professor Walter Henry Hall, under whose directions the club had advanced in musical technique in the past, returned from his sabbatical leave spent in Europe ' 5 and resumed his oiiice as coach and director of the l club. At the outset the outlook for the season was enhanced by the return of thirty-five of last year's men. The fall trials were unusually successful, and from a group of over two hundred applicants the management selected ninety of the best voices. Williain F. McDonald, '27, the student leader of the club, was most diligent in his position, as were Forman R. Slack, '27, serving his second season as manager, and George T. Hammond, '28, advertising manager. The club was exceedingly fortunate in having Forman R. Slack as baritone soloist for the third time, and David A. Barnett, '27, pupil of Alfred l . Cortot, as piano soloist and accompanist for the PROFESSOR HALL Second Uma' DIRECTOR The management, contrary to precedent, de- ' , cided to give the annual Thanksgiving Day concert, in which the club makes its formal debut of the season, at Town Hall. The performance of the club drew favorable comment from the New York critics and indicated an advance over the previous standards. By securing the facili- ties of the Town Hall, the club was enabled to sponsor a brilliant and finan- cially successful social function. Several days previous to the Thanksgiving concert, the club sang in the Brooklyn Academy of Music and inaugurated the season of suburban and local appearances. Another innovation of the season was the decision to hold the annual tour during the Easter vacation instead of between semesters. This April the club will visit several of the large cities of Eastern Canada and New York State. The eight-day trip includes concerts at Montreal, Toronto, Buffalo, Rochester, Troy and Newburgh. Activity in the early Spring was directed toward the Intercollegiates, which were to be held at Carnegie Hall on March l2th. Last season the Columbia Glee Club took fourth place in this competition and in the belief that the club has achieved an advance over last year's ability, it was considered quite possible that it should finish in a higher ranking. Following the lntercollegiates the club was to appear in many of the suburban communities, and another concert is anticipated at the Town Hall gil fgpril, in conjunction with the Barnard and probably the Penn State Glee u s.

Barnett, Accompanist to the Club f329:I Instrumental Club The fourth year of its existence as an independent organiaztion found the Instrumental Club an important factor on the Campus. In all its concerts the Club demonstrated its ability to give a program that was successful and well balanced in every detail. Not only was the instru- mentation enlarged, but the type of program pre- sented was a marked improvement over those of former years. It is interesting to note that selections heretofore considered beyond the scope of College Instrumental Clubs, became, through constant prac- tice, the most finished and best received numbers on the Club's repertoire. ,, The variety in the music presented by the Club was, perhaps, a feature, and undoubtedly contributed more than any other factor to the great success which the instrumentalists met. But these classical num- bers, however, did not make up the entire program. Instead, they were interspersed with pieces of a lighter nature,-popular airs and comic specialty offerings. The membership of the Club was well over LEADER thirty all during the year, and this made it possible for the Leader to pick a full orchestra for concert work. The specialties on the program were particularly noteworthy: the banjo duets by Donald Phillips and Howard Grigg were extremely popular with the audience because of the novel manner with which they were presented. For its four solo numbers, the Club was singularly fortunate in having veterans from last year. George Strenger, '28, repeated his former success with his violin solos of a dilficult . . classical nature: while Harrison Wickware, Joe Burns, and Bud Lewis gave their popular selections on the banjo, piano, and saxophone, respectively. The instrumentalists made their debut during the Christmas vacation at the Merrymakers Club of Staten Island, and the next evening they were the dinner guests of the Westchester Biltmore Country Club before the concert there. Soon afterwards the Club gave a concert for the Crippled Children's Hospital. A varied program was also presented at the Mecca Temple on the occasion of the Convention of Mining Engineers of America. At this concert, the Club accompanied three specialty dancers of the Ned Wayburn School as the feature of . , the evening. At the time of going to press, the greater part of the concert schedule remains to be pre- MANAGER sented,-concerts were to be given at the Hartsdale Democratic Club, and at other Country Clubs in the immediate vicinity of New York.

For, during the surprisingly short period of two years a really fine organization has been developed, and come to stay. The task of establishing the orchestra in its - present position in campus life has not been an easy one. But the efforts of the past leaders and man- agers have been amply rewarded by the results that have come about, The present leader, Harold Kel- ler, '27, and the manager, Thomas C. Wambach,'27, have also been untiring in their efforts to make the orchestra known and appreciated by a skeptical and blase campus. The coaching and conducting of the organiza- tion has been in the capable hands of Mr. Douglas Moore, the gifted young composer. Mr. Moore, a graduate of Yale, where he was piano soloist of the Yale Musical Clubs, has been curator of music at the Cleveland Museum of Art and also organist and lecturer at Western Reserve University. While in Cleveland, he was the guest conductor of the Cleve- CONDUCTOR land Symphony Orchestra when it played his com- position, Suite for Museum Pieces, the composition which, two years later, won for him the Pulitzer Travelling Fellowship in Music. His Pageant for P. T. Barnum was played by the Cleveland Sym- phony as the feature of its New York Concert on January l8, l927, and received a great ovation as well as prolonged praise in the newspapers and magazines. The orchestra made its debut for the season in a concert in the MacMillin Academic Theater sponsored by the Institute of Arts and Sciences. The features of the program were Beethoven's First Symphony in C Major, and the Aria Vision Fugitive, from Massenet's opera, I-lerodiadef' The assist- ing artist of the evening was Mr. William T. Taylor, baritone soloist. The whole concert was masterfully planned and splendidly rendered. The second concert, given a few weeks later, was equally interesting and even more skillfully done. Professor John Erskine, who is a very accomplished pianist, was the guest artist and played Schuman's Piano Concerto in A Minor as his chief selection. The orchestra played 'fOrpheus of Franz Liszt and a Bach Suite in B Minor. The remaining three major concerts of the orchestra's season are to be given later in the Spring, and at each an entirely. new program will be played, including several orchestral novelties, MR.

What would a football rally be 1 without its blare? What would a football game be without the 'fl songs and marches, or a league basketball game without the enter- MM 'U tainment by the Band? As the years go by, more and more students become interested in band music, for each year the roster increases. ln fact, there were almost a third more men out during l926-27 than during the previous year. This increase in numbers necessarily provided a better balanced band: many new instruments were added and more accomplished musicians decided to reap the benent of membership. At the present time the band has moved from its cramped quarters in the portable shack outside Livingston to the rehearsal room provided for the musical organizations in John Jay Hall. The superior acoustic properties of this room makes practice a pleasure and the men report regularly for drill. The augmented personnel and the new room have spurred the Managing Board of the Band to venturing into the realm of concert music and more classical compositions. Mr. George C. Flint, Conductor of the Brooklyn Sym- phony Orchestra, has been induced to coach the organization. Besides being an able musician, Mr. Flint has a very congenial personality which has made him very well liked by the men. Under his supervision there has been such a rapid improvement that the managers are now planning on several Campus Concerts. The series will end with the regular Commencement program. The new interest in the band is quite typical of the general revival in extra-curricular activities caused by the opening of the new activities center. A consideration of the number of the present members who will still be in the University next year leads to expectation that the band will become firmly entrenched in its present place in Campus affairs. f3351 Percussion The Band Roster ' MR.

Riley, continued to develop an objective form of delivery. This was especially effective in that it emphasized putting across a speech to a particular type of audience instead of the more common method of appealing to a ideal audience. ln other words, the attempt was made in all the debates, not only to build up a strong case, but to build up the kind of a case that would be convincing to the particular audience expected. The advantage of this procedure lies in the presentation of a debate that is less academic and factual and more casual, interesting and human. This aim has been achieved by the debaters of England, and for this reason the tours that have been made in this country by teams from Oxford and Cambridge have had great success and have earned wide popularity. It would be impossible, however, for American debaters to adopt the English manner of speaking, because the English brand of humor is entirely different from its American prototype: for the Eng1ishman's sense of humor is all subtility and Hnesse, while American humor is broader and more pompous. Yet it is the opinion of Mr. Riley and the Columbia Debate Council that there is room for the development of a school of American debaters that will combine the ease, as well as the informality and keenness of the English speaker with those quali- ties of wit and aggressiveness which characterize the American platform speaker. Such is the aim which has dictated Columbia's debate policy during the last few years. The first step taken to effect this result was the elimination of the judges, for it was thought that when the decision depended on convincing three august gentlemen, the debaters would concentrate in forcing this conviction, with the inevitable resulting lack of interest on the part of the audience. With the elimi- nation of the arbiters, full attention can be directed to the real aim of the debate, namely: to convince a group of people that one course of action is more desirable than another, I Another policy adopted was a method of rotation of the assignments in order that no two or three men would do all the debating while the rest of the squad looked on. Mr. Riley has long been ia favor of having large squads, and he carried his policy to its peak last year when he accepted twenty men after the fall try-outs and later increased the squad to thirty men. During the last academic year nine debates were held, eight of which were New York. The only out-of-town encounter was the Cornell debate held March. The biggest debate of the year, however, was the Cambridge event October. A team comes to the United States from England every year, and the course of its tour visits Columbia where it is greeted by an enthusiastic audience that crowds McMillin Theater to capacity. Last October Cambridge sent a team to Columbia which deprecated the status of advertising in modern life. The discussion of the merits and demerits of advertising that the debate entailed gave the subtle wit of the English speakers many opportunities to play upon the sense of humor of the audience. in in in in f3381 THE DEBATE SQUAD WOLFERT LEVY DOVES VISCHI STEMMEL ABERNATHY SULLY CLAY The schedule of the debates held last year is as follows: Resolved, That the Constitution be Amended so as to Give Congress Control of Child Labor.

In the l926 Christmas Tournament the Columbia team divided their series with Penn., Rutgers, N. Y. U., and City College, and succeeded in placing third. The series was won by N. Y. U. In addition to the Intercol- legiate League matches, Columbia was a member of the Metropolitan Chess League, which, during the current year, comprised seven chess clubs in or near New York. Beginning on February 12th, the Manhattan, Brooklyn, Marshall, Stuyvesant, Hungarian, and Second Avenue Chess Clubs were met in turn. In the Spring of l925 Columbia gained second place in a league consisting of ten teams, but last year the team was less fortunate. These games, as they were contested against the finest players in New York, served as excellent experience, and proved to be a thorough preparation for the Intercollegiate matches. Th l9Z6-27 season produced an innovation which will, no doubt, aid materially in the formation of future teams. This was the institution of a Freshman chess team, which was a complete novelty in Intercollegiate play. The only meets that the Freshmen secured were with two preparatory schools, but other colleges in the Metropolitan district have become interested, and it is thought that a number of other colleges will follow Columbia's lead in the near future. The decided increase of interest in chess which has been displayed this year was due in no small part to the new Chess Team Room which was pro- vided for the organization on the fourth floor of .lohn Jay Hall. This room, supplied with full equipment, gave the members ample opportunity for prac- tice. If the interest in chess continues, and there is no reason to believe that it should not, it will produce a strengthened team next year which will regain for Columbia her former high place in Intercollegiate Chess circles.

The Play Committee starts its work for the next show almost as soon as the last curtain drops on the current production, Their work involves the reading of manuscripts and making the final selection, obtaining coaches, designing scenery and costumes, and everything of an artistic nature pertaining to the show. The Executive Committee handles the business and finances. Graduates and undergraduates are represented in these committees, all working with the same interest-a better show each year. x,... f H. 17? lgfiggg f Q Y 5 f344:I The 1927 Varsity Show Betty Behavef' the twenty-first annual production of the Columbia University Players, went into rehearsal on the opening day of the Spring Ses- sion. The book, written by William P. Smith, '29, and Perrin D. Fraser, '27, bids fair to outdo even the famous Half-Moon Inn, and for the first time in years the plot is not centered on Columbia tra- ditions but is interwoven with the growth of New York City. A Q- Back in 1647, when Peter Stuyvesant was gov- ernor of New Amsterdam, the burghers were trou- bled with problems which still prove vexing. How does one handle a case containing a bathing beauty and a bootlegger? A precedent was set by dismissing both cases-with Peter making dates with the defen- dants. In the third case, the court started a family feud by awarding a piece of land in the marshes of Greenwich to Cornelius Van Twiller. Rip Van Cortlandt, one of New York's first bootleggers, en- WILLIAM MCL- TWIDDY sured the decision by annexing Karen Van Brum- mel's land deed. In the operetta finale Van Brummel calls Van Twiller a thief, and the curtain falls, to open immediately on an interlude depicting the changes taking place from 1647 to 1867. The Pro- logue is enlivened by inhabitants of many periods of the town, colorful burghers and ferocious Indians being much in evidence. In the first act the scene shifts to the garden of Cornelius Van Twiller's restaurant in the Village of Greenwich in 1867. Miss NVifHe's Institute is represented by several young ladies, among whom is the heroine, Betty Van Brummel. Miss Wiflie and Anastasia, her Yes, Ma'am, lecture the girls on their impropriety as Cornelius Van Twiller enters and snubs Miss WifHe. When the lady finds that Cornelius will not permit his son, Anthony, to marry Betty because of their old feud, she changes Betty's name. Rip Van Cortlandt, now a Medicine Man-Doc McNoodle and his Vegetable Complex- disrupts proceedings with his medicine, and in the finale Betty is separated from Anthony by their parents. The last act comes up to date, suddenly and forcibly, with the action taking place in Jack Van Twiller's Night Club in Greenwich Village. Jack is bootlegging but does not wish Cornelius, his grandfather, to know it. Texas Gunman almost lets the cat out of the bag, and the situation is further endan- gered by Jack's entrance with some bottles in his arms, but is explained that they have been connscated from some guests. Jack then introduces his grand- father to Rio Janeiro, a dancer, who proceeds to undermine 'grandpa's morals, while Rip Van Cortlandt, now a waiter-bootlegger, succeeds in emptying the oldigentleman's pocketbook., Betty, a cigarette girl and the descendant of Karen Van Brummel, falls in love with Jack. Rip finds her grieving over her futile position in such a love affair and clivulges the fact that she is the rightful owner of the club. Then a Revenuer comes to padlock the Club, and while GENERAL MANAGER 53451 he is out getting orders from his chief, Texas Gunman introduces William Demillebanks and his world-famous movie stars as part of the evening's enter- tainment. After the exhibition, the Revenuer returns and attempts to arrest Jack. Betty appears in finery suited to her newly-found wealth, and prevents the arrest by stating that she is the owner of the Club. And then-well, then -they get married. The music is also the work of undergraduates: David Barnett, '27, Jack Morrissey, '28, John Sacco, '29, George Blair, '30, and Charles Looker, '30, The opening and finale choruses are of exceptionally high merit, while the rest of the numbers, more popular than those in previous Varsity Shows, will no doubt be whistled and sung about the campus for several college generations. The Play Committee selected Hal Forde as book coach. Mr. Forde has played in numerous successes on the musical-comedy stage and is well qualified to take charge of the work. At this time-and the Show has a week more of rehearsalv-the separate parts are in fine order and only the work of assembling remains. The Pony Ballet is, as usual, the center of real interest, and Paul Winkopp, '25, coach of the l926 ballet and star of former Varsity Shows, has had great success in the development of a smartly functioning outfit. ln addition to the ever-popular Tiller-girl steps, tap and soft-shoe dancing is being mastered rapidly. The men are such able kickers that Miss Dorothy Stone, who watched them work out, nicknamed them the killer-girls. With the Show still in rehearsal it is hard to pre- dict the success of individual roles. Fred lNliller, in a Walter Catlett part, plays the role of Rip Van Cortlandt, New Amsterdam's Cand later New York'sj best bootlegger. He is a newcomer to Campus theatricals. The part of the heroine is played by William R. Easton, '28. As Betty Van Brummel land Betty Greenb he has ample chance to duplicate his dancing successes of 1926. In the past four performances the lead has been taken by men who were all over six feet in height. The present departure follows the precedent of the pro- fessional stage, where all tall heroines are taboo. Henry Grant, '27, and George Fanning, '27, return in parts similar to those in which they have excelled in past performances. The former as a 1647 bathing beauty, and later as a modern vamp, lends his acting and dance talent for the fourth year. The latter plays first as an elderly spinster and in the second act reverses her field in the performance of a night-club hula dance. F. Grifhth Cornell, Varsity tackle, has the difficult part of Peter Stuy- vesant, who, it will be recalled, wore a wooden leg. Ernest Cuneo, who will be remembered for his playing in the Cornell game, is appearing as an Indian maiden, Winnie Ha-ha. ln this part he supports Chief Double Eagle, played by Albert Maltz, '29. Don Phillips, '27, is taking the role of a father and grandfather. Due to exigencies of plot he appears as his own lineal descendant. The parts of his son and grandson are played by Tom Keating, '3O. This is the first time- EASTON and KEATING L 34 6 J at least in the memory of the present gen- eration-vvhen so important a part has been entrusted to a member of the Freshman class. Anthony Cor Jackj promises much as a pres- ent and future juvenile lead. Forman R. Slack, '27, will again charm the audiences as soloist in several numbers. Leon Scharf, '27, as Anastasia, who wants to be chased and not chaste, is a typical T. C. spinster of 1867 vintage, E. H. van Delden, '28, as the Sheriff: Arthur Mosler, Jr., '29, as Texas Gunman, the Night-Club hostess, Norman Arnheim, '29, . as William Demillebanks, the great movie l ' director, and Richard Jeffery, '27, who takes ig l male and female parts with equal facility, round out the cast. The singing chorus, composed of mem- bers of the Glee Club and ably coached by William McDonald, '27, the student leader, renders ensemble numbers. Many of the songs are adapted to part singing and are given in that manner. After the introduction of' this feature last year, it is safe to predict its overwhelming success in the forthcoming prof duction.

The production was hailed on all sides as the best piece of dramatic work done on the campus in many years, and its success demon- . strated the wisdom of the society's decision to return to its tradition of classical drama. In many ways the production was the most ambitious that the society has yet undertaken. With a cast of thirty- one, the largest of any Philo Show, the performance was distinguished by its excellent acting, gorgeous costumes and effective staging. The audience at- tracted hy the three performances was the largest in the history of Philolexian shows. Of the play itself little need be said here. As an historical document and as an appeal to the emo- tions the play is among the most likable works of the bard of Avon. However, it has never been popu- lar with professional actors, since it offers no out- standing lead part. King John, Philip the Bastard, Hubert de Burgh and Prince Arthur command an MANAGER equal share of the audience's attention and interest. V The last American performance of the play was given a number of years ago by Robert Mantell. Ai large measure of the credit for the success of the Philo performance is due to Mrs. Estelle H. Davis, Whose efforts as coach brought out the best work of a competent cast. Under her expert direction, King John was changed from a comparatively unfamiliar historical play to a pulsing, living story of a cruel, calculating coward who happened to be a king. Phil C. Humphrey, '27, gave the finished performance of the cowardly, scheming King John, rising to heights of emotional interpretation that have seldom been surpassed by campus actors. Sharing honors with Humphrey was Richard Kilcullen, a ten-year-old student of the Horace Mann School for Boys, who played the part of Prince Arthur. His clear, wistful voice, pleading for his life with the old warrior, Hubert, won him round after round of applause. Robert C. Schnitzer, '27, played the proud, rough Bastard with a swagger and full-hearted vigor that brought out the best of the bawdy humor and fiery spirit of the part. Hubert de Burgh was played by Edward Mammen, '28 with great power and sym- pathy. Of the four female parts, taken by Barnard girls, the performance of Mildred Lyman as the Hcankerous grandam, Queen Elenor, was notable. The history of Philolexian Shows, is a short one when compared with the century and a quarter of active life that the society itself has enjoyedg but seventeen productions by the society have established what is practically a tradi- tion. The first olhcial interest in play production shown by the society appeared late in 1909, when the president appointed a committee to look into the matter of serious dramatic performance. The outcome of the investigation was the production, in the fall of l9lO, of the first Philolexian Show, Ralph Roister Doisterf' This early effort, and many others after it, was performed on the tiny stage of the Brinkerhoff Theater of Barnard College. Then the PHILLIP B. THURSTON H3521 Some Scenes from Philolexian's Production of King John f353fl society used the hardly more commodious Earl Hall Auditorium, and it was not until 1924 that Philo Show moved to the McMillin Theater. The original aim of giving classical plays was carried out until 1924. At that time, the last few productions having met with indifferent financial success, the society decided to experiment with modern plays, and produced Why Marry? by Jesse Lynch Williams, and followed it a year later with Augustus Thomas' play, The Witching Hour. These were both successful, but the society yearned for the older plays, and finally returned in 1926 to its Shakespearian tradition. Production Stal? Manager PHILIP B.

The plot centers about a modest but able member of the imaginary fraternity, Alpha Alpha, who in addition to his great modesty is handicapped by being tongue-tied. An effort by his brothers to nominate Mason for president of his class arouses the jealousy of Latimore, the black sheep of the house. When a colorful tea-dance is staged, a purse containing a thousand-dollar bill, the property of Jeannette Audrey, disappears. Jeannette is Mortimer's girl friend, exceedingly lively and passionate. Latimore accuses Mason of staging a petting party with Jeannette and with stealing the purse. After the dance is over and the house is quiet, Latimore and Jeannette have a heart-to-heart talk about love and Mortimer produces the purse. They are forced to hide when the ringing of the doorbell brings Mason down in his dressing gown. Innocently enough Mason falls into a compromising situation by the presence of Ann, who has forgotten her keys at the door. Bathsheba, the housekeepr, true to form, with two sheets in the wind, returns with the dishes which she had taken out to wash. In a combination laughing jag and blind stagger she smashes the dishes and wakes the house. The climax arrives when Latimore makes a suggestive remark about Ann's presence with Mason deshab- bille. ln a burst of fury Mason swings at Lattimore, and in the bloody encounter that follows nearly kills him. Lattimore is forced to take back his accusations and to admit stealing the purse. This clears the way for Mason's nomination and the play closes with three cheers and a rousing song for the candidate. The role of Mason was lilled by Edward Mammen. His portrayal of the hero's excess modesty and handicap of speech seemed to be the most natural thing in the world. Bernard Bernstein, as the unscrupulous member of the house, made his accusations in true Joe Baxter style. Joe Goodman, as Morti- mer's side-kick, Jeannette, caused many a red-hot vampire to throw up her hands in despair. Joe Hogan's athletic form bulged out from the dress of Ann, but his demure smiles and golden locks made up whatever discrepancy there might have been. Bathsheba, the buxom belle of Hartley Hall mops, was played by Ronald Allwork, his lively jokes being stopped just in time. The brothers responsible for the political intrigue were played by M. Jennings Von der Hyde, Cyrus Warden, and Douglas Walsh. Melvin Lyter, on whose shoulders rested the responsibility for the pro- duction, Was amply rewarded by a large and appreciative audience at each of the show's three performances. Harold Clausen, a prominent figure in the local dramatic world, taught the cast the liner points of acting. Interest in rehearsals was brought to a high pitch by an attempt of the chorus girls from The Girl Friend to teach the cast to Charleston. '1- 1. ' . WOI' Y sty 9. H E.

It then appointed a Junior Advisory Board, consisting of Stuart G. Chambers, Cyrus Warden and George D. Brown, to guide the Freshman Class until it chose its own officers. The Frosh elections were run on a new basis. A preliminary election resulted in the choice of two leading candidates for each oflice. These men ran again later, and the victor thus became the majority choice. Early in October a referendum was conducted by the Board to determine whether the College desired the retention of Freshman rules. The continuance of rules was favored, 587 to 128. An opportunity was given the undergraduates to cheer Coach Crowley and his team before the Ohio State game, when a monster rally, the most suc- cessful in years, was held in the Commons. Another pep-fest preceded the history-making Cornell game. Palmer J. Wright was placed in charge of the annual Song Fest on South Field on October 15. The time-honored custom of painting erring Frosh was abolished because of the high feeling against hazing. Two weeks later another member of the board, Clifford E. Nobes, supervised the tug-of-war. The bill for the damage to the stands and fences was paid by the classes, in accordance with the Board's decree. Frederick Uhrbrock ran a very successful trip to Philadelphia for the Pennsylvania game, over live hundred students travelling on the special train. Wright was then named to take care of the interclass athletic tournaments in track, basket-ball, swimming, water polo, wrestling, boxing and baseball. These were run during the year. The Board sent Nobes to the National Student Federation of America Congress, at Ann Arbor, early in December, and Uhrbrock and George T. Scriba were official delegates to the Wesleyan Intercollegiate Parley on College Education, The Board later made Columbia College a member of the first named organization. Early in December the Board lent strength to the campaign to raise basket- ball to the status of a major sport by petitioning the authorities. Its efforts were rewarded a few days later when the desired change was made. It had previously petitioned the Insignia Committee to revise the system of awarding letters and the letters themselves. This request was also granted. In response to Spectatofs requests, the Board then decreed that class dues would no longer be used to pay deficits incurred by class activities that should be financially solvent. The dues were to be used for legitimate expenses and the foundation of a fund for use when the Class graduated, The 1927 Student 'Board deserves to be called the most active in recent years. Through its efforts numerous changes were made, and, at the time this book Went to press, others that will seriously effect the College were being contemplated.

Wright L 361 J The Committee on Students' Activities ln these days, when accusations are flying thick and fast about many other universities, Columbia can stand apart and truthfully say she has kept the spirit of amateur athletics. Through the efforts of the Committee on Students' Activities the scholastic standing of the men engaged in extra- curricular activities is carefully Watched so that the real purpose of attending college will not be subjugated to them. The committee does its best, by advis- ing the students concerned, to keep them in good standing. Thus far its Work has been Very successful, and it apparently has become a permanent thing.

Magran Mu Pi Sophomore Soczetg of Black Avengers This ancient and honorable society, commonly termed Black Avengers, was formed in l905 for the purpose of enforcing Freshman Rules on the Campus. Each year, at the beginning of the Winter semester, fifteen members of the incoming Sophomore class are elected and initiated by their predecessors to carry on the work. Their identity is kept secret until their Senior year. when their names are published in COLUMBIAN. During the Winter semester this year, activity in the enforcement of the rules was lacking, but with the beginning of the Spring semester, a plan was devised to enable an eiiicient enforcement of the rules and this has since been supported with enthusiasm.

Never before in the history of Columbia have the authorities been more keenly alive to the great educational factor of athletics in the life of the undergraduate. Experience has shown that the best development of the mind and character is obtained when a youth is encouraged by his teachers in his natural desire to play the game with vigor with his fellows.

To become a member of the Dolphins one must have represented Columbia in either swimming or Water-polo on the Varsity teams, and must have shown a live and sincere interest in the sport by reporting regularly for practice and doing all one can possibly do tovvard becoming a leader in his sport. This year the Dolphins made plans to further college and high school interest in Columbia Water sports, to hold Metropolitan championships, to extend the organization to other colleges, and to improve the present condition of aquatics in Columbia. r37s1 The National Collegiate Society of Spiked Shoe QXKEDQSHQ 4 1 is X OJ f -A Mx X 2 1 Q jswoxk-ff 415' ,N VA,:,.i2 . . 0 AMA f -M e,,.,,.. ,1,,A A .,,, ,., , i W X S X' 33 Q , N ei if lille PRX 'P 9 fe ill . , 5 ..,iNi T X - 1.,, . 1,1. is X flv i nvls The local chapter of Spiked Shoe is nearing the close of its fourth year of existence, having progressed in this short time from an organization intended to satisfy certain needs on this campus to a membership in a body of thirteen members performing the same service at other colleges. The society has wit- nessed the increase of track interest to a point Where the annual turnout is in excess of a hundred and twenty men. Interclass meets, held during the year uT1der the auspices of Spiked Shoe, have aided Coach Merner considerably in uncovering new material for his track team. The membership in the national organization includes at the present time Pittsburgh, Cornell, Syracuse, Union, and other colleges important in track circles. At the time of the cross-country lntercollegiates, a banquet, held by the society, Was quite successful in bringing together representatives of the various chapters of Spiked Shoe.

Columbia's best fencing team, as well as a lasting friendship among the men have been developed by the support of this organization. It has kept men in the squad who otherwise would have drifted away. The Rapier's new goal is to find adequate quarters where its members can practice daily, thus relieving the congestion in our fencing rooms, and giving a greater opportunity to those desirous of mastering the art.

Membership is elective and usually requires the win- ning of a numeral or a Varsity letter. At present the society is local, but during the past year plans have been formulated to extend it to a national scope. Towards this end President George Brown appointed a committee consisting of Carlos Henriquez, Rutherford Olliphant and Russell Reaper to draw up a letter of invitation for membership to the other members of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association, many of whom probably have similar societies. The combination of these various units into a national organization would be of great value to the individual colleges and to the Club itself, Final developments of this move are pending. An annual feature of the Club is the dinner given at the close of the season, which is attended by both the new and old members, as well as the alumni.

The Columbia University Club I 'P' x O N Oh IQOI I 5 CL A President Nicholas Murray Butler, speaking on Novem- ber 9th at the twenty-iifth anniversary of the Columbia Club, described the Club as being only the beginning of something, distinctly American, helping to create a more intimate relationship between the University and the com- P E, munity. The twenty-two founders who attended that dinner have seen the Club outgrow several homes, and have watched it expand from a scanty handful of alumni, meeting Q3 in the Royalton at 41 West 36th Street, to an institution 'SAJMJWA of 2,600 members. Since l9l7 the Club has been located in the remodeled Renaissance Hotel at 4 West 43rd Street, a building of seven stories, which contains ninety sleeping rooms and more than adequate equipment in the way of squash courts, billiard rooms, grills and dining halls. These facilities are used to their fullest advantage, more than 400 meals being served in the main dining room daily. The Library has been remodeled this year, and a good assortment of the latest books and magazines is added regularly. Club nights, with their special attractions, draw large crowds, as do Ladies' Day and the popular Cornell-Columbia smoker before the annual football game. The financial position is assured by a budget which is arranged so that each activity pays for itself. Ten scholarships to Columbia College are also provided by a system of automatic monthly subscriptions instituted last year. Any male graduate of the University is eligible for membership, and any alumnus who has attended Columbia for more than one year may be elected on graduation, provided he has received a degree from a college or university of recognized standing. Men elected within the iirst twelve months after graduation are not required to pay the initiation fee of twenty-live dollars, The annual dues for the first two years are ten dollars, payable in two installments. , suv.

The Association supplies the Alumni News to its members and holds frequent meetings, dinners, reunions, etc., in New York City.

Chief among the causes for rejoicing has been the securing and furnishing of the first permanent room Philolexian ever had. While this gift of space from the University was made two years ago upon the adoption of plans for John Jay Hall, it remained, until the current year, a dream of the future, to be hoped for but not immediately realized, Meetings have been held weekly with the utmost regularity and various forms of literary and dramatic discussions have served to attract an average at- tendance of from twelve to fifteen out of twenty-five active members. Outside of that major activity of the society, the Philolexian Play, the Seventeenth of which was successfully produced in December, the plans for the interior com- pletion of the room have occupied the attention of the members for the past year. The Chapel Crypt and, later, its own room, 418 John Jay, have served as the meeting places of Philolexian, and in the latter instance other offices were ransacked for chairs until the furnishing was completed. Philolexian has been running this year under a revised Constitution. Those changes have mainly affected the tryouts for membership. lnstead of allowing members to bring friends to the meetings and propose them for mem- bership at any time during the year, this privilege has been restricted to those who are Seniors. Individuals from other classes are now considered for mem- bership in April of each year. A period of guest-membership before the final election to the society has been found very suitable to assure the admittance of those who are congenial and interested in Philolexian, as well as possessing the literary pre-requisites. lt was correctly anticipated by the membership which voted for these revisions that compliance to the new constitution would bring about certain beneficial changes in the future of Philolexian. These rules have tended to in- troduce a new type of member who is, perhaps, more truly interested in the welfare of the society than in his own literary advancement. This new move- ment in Philolexian which culminated in the resurrection of the Constitution and the revision of this document, has changed the underlying current in mem- bership from a group of distinct and outstanding individuals to an organization which has secured its proper dominance over the member. Such a tendency has been exhibited in the lengthy discussions as to the purpose of the Philolexian Play. After all, the Philolexian members of today have been doing nothing more than demonstrating their mysterious inherited ability to realize occasional shortcomings and make the necessary adjustments before these dangers upset and possibly demolish the society. It is this peculiar trait which accounts for the existence of Philolexian today, while all of its younger sisters have long died by the wayside. 53861 K Philolexian Society OFFICERS Wz'nter Spring A PHILLIP B.

Not only within the confines of the University, but also for many miles around, does the Association pursue its friendly cooperation, and lend its aid. At the office of the Association in Earl Hall students worried by religious difliculties and conflicting ideas about their work ind earnest friends to help them untangle their troubles. Each year church receptions in the vicinity are held with the help of this organization to facilitate the University students in finding their respective preferences. Student discussion groups are conducted after the regular Chapel services for the clarifying of bewildered conceptions and confused meanings of many problems encountered on the Campus, in daily life and its associations. Settlement work in New York City is secured through the office of the Association for those men who enjoy helping to make others happy. Many Columbia students spend a small part of their day conducting boys' clubs, acting as Big Brothers to less fortunate children and serving as Scout Masters in the local scout troops. Not a few of the more important paid positions in the New York settlements are held by Columbia students. But in the most part the work is voluntary, having as its compensation the satisfaction of feel- ing that one has been able to help some under-privileged individual. As a number of Columbia students within the past three years have been preparing for the ministry, a pre-theological group has been organized. C. U. C. A. successfully cooperates with these men in placing them in respon- sible church work, from which they receive valuable experience. This assist- ance is not, however, limited to those intending to enter the ministry, but is given to any students finding themselves in religious quandaries and difficulties. The staff workers help the men to solve their problems and place them in touch with those men capable of giving them further advice and assistance. Most important and far-reaching in infiuence of all the Association's work is the sending out of deputation teams. Week-end visits are paid to suburban communities by five or six Columbia College students who conduct father and son banquets, hikes, parties, Sunday School classes and young people's meet- ings. Throughout the year these teams make trips to many of the small com- munities, spreading happiness and friendship among all. Within the past three years over seventy such visits have been made, under the leadership of the Association. In Putnam and Westchester Counties many Columbia student residents are actively engaged in religious education and the Westchester County Young People's Council has a large number of Columbia College students among its members. f3891 THE c.

All these lectures were delivered in German and the students had ample opportunity to become familiar with the spoken idiom.

During the past year it has succeeded in bringing its members in contact not only fsffwat' with one another but With the members of the Faculty and the graduate school as Well. Professor Thomas H. Harrington, as in the past, has acted as faculty advisor, devoting much of his time and energy to the super- vision of the Society. Several interesting and instructive trips to industrial plants Were scheduled With his help. Monthly smokers were held in conjunction with the Engineering Society, Prominent authorities in technical and business Held gave addresses, after which refreshments were served. Many alumni also attended the initial smoker of the year when President Butler gave a comprehensive description of the Colum- bia Engineer and outlined the work and history of the University and its de- velopment of the School of Engineering. On the same occasion the Society had the pleasure of hearing Professor Pupin make 'the first announcement of a new theory of light transmission which he has developed. RICHARD G.

Early in the year Dean Hawkes spoke on the 'x N ' ' general preparation of students for entrance to Medical School. Professor Farwell, of the Physics Department, spoke on several topics of inter- est, especially centered about the increasing importance of Physics in the research work of the different branches of medicine and surgery. Professor Michael Pupin delivered a lecture on 'Electrotherapyz Electricity in Medicine. ln the early part of the second semester Dean Darrach, of the College of Physicians and Surgons, described The New P. E6 S. and the Medical Center. Professor McGregor, of the Zoology Department, next consented to outline the more recent discoveries in The Evolution of Man, a subject on which he is uni- versally considered to be one of the leading authorities. The program for the rest of the season included several noted men from outside the University. OFFICERS T.

At this smoker plans were formulated for the monthly get-together dinners of the undergraduates, of the alumni, and faculty. Informal lectures by professors, talks by students and general discussions on important phases of Italian Culture and History were some of the attractive features of these get-togethers. Alumni in the different walks of life were invited to suggest to the undergraduates what in their opin- ions were the most important activities and methods of acquiring knowledge which mightibe utilized to best advantage in the pursuit of their particular profession or calling. In turn, the Circolo members themselves as well as the alumni encouraged and interested students of the various Metropolitan High Schools in this method of acquisition and utilization of culture at the Spring Prep Night. Besides the social activities of the club, the Circolo's athletic program with other Circolo began with the arrangements of the first of the Basket-ball Games with the Circolo of Brooklyn Poly Prep. Towards the end of the academic year the activities of the Circolo were to culminate with the presentation of the Annual Play in Italian followed by a dance.

Hawkes and Dr. John W. Gunliife. The purpose of the association has been to foster friendship among N' N the men in Columbia College who are planning to enter the School of Journalism. Dr. Cunliffe, Director of the School of Journalism, addressed the men at their first meeting in the early part of the Winter Session, greeting the many new members of the incoming class and relating his experiences in Geneva at the World conference of Journalists. ' Through the courtesy of Charles P. Cooper, Associate Professor of Jour- nalism, arrangements were made to visit the plant of the New York Times, where the group went through the magnificent Annex building and viewed with considerable interest the equipment of one of the world's greatest news- papers. The plant of America's lirst tabloid, the Illustrated News, was also visited and the group was given a most informing lecture tour through the press, composing and stereotyping rooms. Photo-etching processes were ob- served, as well as the private developing rooms of the photographic staff. Paul Gallico, the Sports Editor of the News and a Columbia Varsity Crew man of '21, spoke at the first luncheon of the Society held in the new private dining rooms of John Jay.

It is composed of the Secretary of the University, as chairman, and two delegates from each fraternity. The voting power is so distributed that each fraternity has one vote. The outcome of the Council was a formal agreement consisting of rules to which every fraternity must conform at all times. A rushing agreement was also formulated, which has now been in effect for two years. This agree- ment restricts the rushing of new Freshmen to set periods which come approx- imately at the middle of each semester.

Wouldn't you like some breath, kindly inquired by alter ego, yawning discreetly. '4Not another drop, was my curt response, punctuated by a fairly horrendous shriek from the homely mother, the shriek being, l am told, the culmination of a series of revelations tending to prove that her son's Wife's sister Was none other than her deceased husbands former mistress.

Milne's Ariadne succeeded Processional at the Guild, and calmed the more excitable of our oracles Ce. g., Victor Lemaitrej into gossamer reveries. Some one gave The Beggar on Horseback another ride: the Actor's Theatre balanced Candida with that sultry drama of fatal mistakes, The Wild Duck. Beyond, an expressionistic drama in 22 scenes failed to express anything: LuIu's Loves betrayed Wedekind by the amateurishness of its acting: and Rosmersholrn caused another precocious infant in the irst tier boxes to wonder if bad diges- tion had an influence on artistic creation. Only one valuable work, James Joyce's Exiles, revealing once more a fresh, penetrating, and poetic mind, unconstrained by pro- and post-scenic contingencies and seeking to express its clear-eyed vision in articulate and pleasing form. The Very same words might be repeated of Caesar and Cleo- patra which the Guild did as only the Guild can do Shaw. In both cases, how- ever, I do not know whether a reading is not fuller, more refreshing than a see- ing. But I fear a digression is here structurally prohibited. I thought the entire thing was a digr if ak li Indeed, I must mention the Neighborhoods exquisite performance of Sheridan's Critic, and the Greenwich Village Theatre's offering of Love for Love. When one is disillusioned about contemporary ability, nothing is more consoling and at the same time more enervating than the complacent contempla- tion of past achievements.

We quote from the 1926 Columbian, a sumptuous volume comprising over 500 pages, bound in art-leather and filled with numer- ous illustrations, woodcuts, haU-tones, as well as portraits of each member of the senior class. The Bookstore had its inception in West Hall, a building which has been razed and is now almost forgotten. There were three narrow rooms, each scarcely larger than the book- keeping department of the present establishment. There were but three clerks who divided the various and sundry duties, including such chores as sweeping the floor and dust- ing. This was prior to 1910. Today the store occupies two floors for sales purposes plus an additional one used to store the reserve stock. The stay? numbers thirty clerks, the reg- ular force which is increased to meet the needs of rush periods. In the early days of the store a supply of required books and articles only was kept on hand. Today well or- ganized departments are maintained carrying anything and everything which faculty and students may expect to find in a College Bookshop for class or home use. On the upper floor: from textbooks to novels, from classic poetry to modern poets: from outlines to works of reference: from dictionaries to encyclopedias and from domestic publi- cations to those of foreign lands, including periodicals. A On the lower floor: fountain pens, paper of all grades and kinds, athletic supplies, pipes, tobacco, banners, pennants, college- jewelry, typewriters and the many, many other articles that go with a well equipped up-to-date stationery store. And to make shopping really convenient, the store has for the last two years added a soda fountain, where light luncheon is served at tables and counters. - AT YOUR SERVICE WHILE IN COLLEGE AND AFTER CORRESPONDENCE INVITED AND PROMPTLYANSWERED 2960 BROADWAY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS BOOKSTORE NEW YORK Jo URNALISM BUILDING N.

We took a turn about and had a drink of sour lemonade ere we resumed our respective stocks. ACT IV Coming to relatively contemporary times we can, like historians, afford to be sketchy and unjust. Last year H9261 saw the beginning of Winthrop Ames' Gilbert and Sullivan repertory. Iolanthe delighted millions,-if, judg- ing by my own example, everyone saw it five or six times. I At the same time. the Actors' Theatre put on with every index of perfection the most brilliant comedy in the English language, Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. At Mrs. Beam's, an English comedy, by C. K. lvlunro, entertained inverterate Guilders for some months, and l-lart and Rodgers' The Girl Friend, provided dance and song in addition to wit. So much for famous frivolity. Those who like to feel themselves think, much in the way that one is conscious of chewing a caramel candy, felt that in The Great God Brown, O'Neill had propounded more serious questions than a generation of geniuses could answer. That is What gives the play its extraordinarily tenacious hold on the imagination, in spite of an apparently tenuous and incoherent mode of presentment. ln an opposite way, it arrives at the same cathartic result which An American Tragedy achieves by sheer insistence on material problems outlined in specific terms. c 1'Apart from An American Tragedy, this year's output has been singularly Cffonlinued on Page VIIIJ V1 h l7I Yf 0 To ew is Q 0- 2 E T a 2 l 3 E::',f : Li- .:, lif Tiff.

Wall Street was then a central location within short walk- ing distance for every one. Banking service was intimate and personal as it should be. Later, the city's growth set up many centers of resi- dence and business from which it was not as easy as formerly to visit Wall Street. This bank, therefore, decided to maintain personal contact by establishing branch oflices in these centers. Today, its system includes forty con- veniently located branches throughout Greater New York. Each branch partakes of the nature of its neighborhood, studies its problems and promotes its Welfare. Each, there- fore, has its individual character but all are keyed to the uniform Manlzaffan principle of constant, personal and interested customer service.

Walter' Hampden is so serious in The Immortal Thief and Caponsacchi that no one else can be quite as sober as he, and consequently the effect of his melodrama fails. Dostoevsky has lately come into vogue: first The Humble with Basil Sidney at the Greenwich Village, then The Brothers Karamazou at the Guild via Copeau. Both attempts are Very much diluted though well acted. John lVIasef1eld's translation of The Wz'tch did nothing more than reveal the poet's gift of phrase and the playwright's recognition of one of the thirty-six dramatic situations. Satire fared better. J. P. McEvoy outdid himselftin God Loves Us, the setting of which was so good that the Neighborhood adopted its idea for Mr. I3aragoh's worthy expressionistic experiment, Pinwheel. . Speaking of the Neighborhood, vitality was so strong in the breast of The Dyhhuh that he resuscitated himself on four different stages at once. Plucky devil, that! Among the younger groups, the American Laboratory Theatre has gained growing recognition from critics and others for its 1927 repertory con- sisting of The Straw Hat, Twelfth Night, The Sea Woman's Cloak, Granite, and The Scarlet Letter. Its elder, the Guild, in addition to The Brothers, pro- duced two new Howard comedies, one inexpressibly bad clap-trap CNed McCohh's Da'aghterD and one excellent comic-tragedy CThe Silver Coralj. Of the Guitry's and of the Comedie Francaise nothing can be said which would not already be a matter-of-fact to their respective enthusiasts. To appreciate either is to exercise a critical faculty since it implies attendance, and attendance implies knowledge and deliberate choice a priori. . 4 Cffonlirvued on Page X11 VIII A.-.. EE.

Had you been attentive, I returned, you would have noted that I have not uttered a word of criticism the whole evening. I never talk shop while attending the thearre, in the first place, and in the second, in mentioning casually the plays of the past four years it is humanly impossible to offer a reflective critique. One might as well try to make discerning scientific general- izations about an Irish stew, The heterogeneity of the subject matter simply forbids it. And further PF X ak At any rate, instead of listening tothe handsome fool on the boards who in reciting lines he does not understand to an audience that cannot, about the threads of Life and Love being tangled in opposite strands by an unseen Hand against which Man is helpless because blind, and blind because helpless, but must go on striving as hope of Salvation lies in Love and not in Life, which is, after all, only a puppet-play moved by an unseen Hand if if X instead of drinking in the drivel, you must be making categories and launching epigrams. That brands you a critic. Really, after careful though and some four hundred evenings spent in your company at the theatre, I cannot help agreeing with Jonathan Swift that, 'a true critic hath one quality in common with a whore and an alderman, never to change his title or nature, My dear fellow, said I, clad in frigid dignity, for the audience was leaving, if pragmatic justification of the critic's existence were necessary, I would point out that no really great civilization has ever existed without him, or indeed, without the other two categories of persons to whom you compare him.

I, 1927: 12 EAST 54th STREET XXI THE Study of Pitman The study of Pitman Shorthand provides material assistance in the mastery of English. Isaac Pitman, eminent student of the fun- damentals of English speech, invented short- hand principles that were simple, scientific and precise, and based them upon the structure of the English language. As a result of this, Pitman Shorthand, un- like other systems, is a direct aid in the elim- ination of incorrect syllabication, poor pro- nunciation, and general misuse of English. The entire suitability of Pitman Short- hand for the verbatim reproduction of spo- ken English has resulted in its being almost the sole means of recording the proceedings of Congresses, Parliaments, Courts-wherever accurate recording of speech is necessary- throughout the English-speaking world. IT IS THE WORLD'S STANDARD SYSTEM. Send for a copy of One Hour with Pitman Shorthand. ISAAC PITMAN E6 SONS, 2 W. 45th St., New York l l 'O G' he cover for this. annual was created by The DAVID I.
