Cumberland University - Phoenix Yearbook (Lebanon, TN)

Text from Pages 1 - 154 of the 1931 volume:

r r-s GUY CARLETON THACKSTON Editor in Chief THOMAS EARL THOMPSON Business Manager HM m Q rptanr There are many interesting and brilliant chapter.? in the gloriously written history of Cumberland Uni- versity. Each year a new chapter is added, new char- acters are portrayed, fresh scenes are painted, and jireater and nobler achievements are recorded. Dur- ing our years of study at Cumberland we have read that story, and in reading there have been born and nurtured in our minds and hearts new dreams, new ambitions, and new h ' opes that we, the Class of 1931. may, in our long pilgrimage toward distant goals, continue more gloriously than ever the story of our Alma Mater. If, when we grow weary of our journey, we stop to rest and chance to turn these pages, and if, in turn- ing them, old times and old memories are recalled to mind and our faith is strengthened and we gain re- newed courage to take up our journey again, then this book will have served its intended purpose. We content ourselves now with offering as nearly as pos- sible an exact copy of the eighty-ninth chapter of Cumberland ' s history. C. £: a ■c n m fMrationl TO DR. W. P. BONE who, during almost a half century of distin- guished service to Cumberland, has labored tirelessly and has given generously of his time and efforts to the end that the Univer- sity might serve her rightful purpose and maintain her high place among the institu- tions of higher learning in the South. His ideals are Cumberland ' s traditions. His clear vision, firm faith, and noble char- acter have served as an inspiration and a challenge to all of us. We feel that we shall be able to live more fruitful and profitable lives because of having known him. That we may, in some way, express our love and appreciation of the scjioiar and of the man, we most respectfully dedicate to him this, the 1931 volume of The Phcenix. iiiiiiiiHiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif = r -■ -A- -V- Tf ' II UK ,i - r Of i. crE? - OENIX THE PHCENIX The Editors of Cumberland ' s first yearbook, in casting about to select a name for the new annual student publication, could have made no choice more appropriate or expressive of the institution whose activities it was intended to portray than The Phcenix. Most celebrated among the ancient fables of Egypt is the story of the Phoenix, a sacred bird revered by the citizens of civilization ' s earliest king- dom. The Phoenix was believed to live on the earth five hundred years, and at the end of that period lade its wings with spices and burn itself. As the old bird died among the flames and incense, a new Phoenix arose from the ashes to begin a sacred existence of five centuries. Thus the Phoenix has become mythology ' s most honored emblem of immortality. In 1843, after a difficult struggle, there was erected on the present Cum- berland campus what is now known as the Old College Building, which housed all departments of the University, the Law School, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Theology. In 1863, in the midst of the other tragedies of the dark, lean Civil War era, the structure was de- stroyed by fire. An alumnus, looking on the heap of ashes and rubbish, wrote Resur- gam on a fallen pillar. Resurgam it was, and E cineribus resurgo — from the ashes I arise — became the guiding motto as the weakened University arose, Phcenixlike, to continue its record of service to the cause of Southern and national edu- cation. It is indeed fitting and proper that the Phoenix, ever living, ever dying, ever rising over opposition to continue its scared existence on and on, should provide the name of a yearbook of an institution whose history has been one so similar to that of the celebrated bird of immortality. 31 z (0 V 5 — J V X S M CQ 4 S 2 01 J P s (A Oi g H 2 •n 2 a.

At the head of the University is a man to whom these three words particularly apply. The loyalty of Dr. Ernest L. Stockton has been indelibly imbedded during his long and varied connection with this institution, as a student, as head of the English department, as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and now as President. The progress of the school during the four years he has directed its course is an eloquent tribute to his efficiency. And the Endowment Drive which President Stockton is directing, more sure of success than ever before, which will fulfill his ambition of bringing Cumberland to her own, bespeaks the vision he has for the institution whose future he holds closest to his heart. To the University Secretary, Andrew Jackson Cash, is assigned the challenging task of financing the activities of the University through its most pressing era of hard times. The task, thankless and discouraging as it is, has been attacked with vigor, and his success should win the admiration of the most critical. Perhaps the most loyal of Cumberland alumni is Charles R. Williamson, President of the Alumni Association, who moved into the administrative offices this year that he might devote his full time and effort to the endowment drive. Besides awarding the Williamson Scholarship and sponsoring the Williamson Oratorical Contest, as well as contributing liberally to the drive himself, Mr. Williamson has always shown himself to be a loyal son of his Alma Mater through his influence and administrative ability. Robert W. Adams, Alumni Secretary, has received wide commendation from the alumni for the effective way he has edited The Alummis since he was elected last year. Combining journalistic ability with a keen insight into what it takes to make an alumni magazine what it should be, he is producing a monthly pericdical of which Cumberland and her graduates may justly be proud. Judge William R. Chambers, venerable Dean of the Law School, continues to com- mand the admiration of the future barristers under his supervision, both as professor and administrator. And Prof. Will D. Young, who, like President Stockton, has stepped from the student ranks to a professorship and then to the position as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has proved that he can conduct a college as well as he can teach history. The others connected with the administrative offices — Registrar Thomas E. Bryant, Miss Sarah Hardison, Miss Aileen Ccok, and the secretaries to the Deans and Regis- trar — all deserve commendation for their service. If students and alumni will combine their loyalty with the loyalty and efficiency of the administration, the realization of the vision of our Prexy is assured. 31 17 ENIX PRESIDENT ERNEST L.

Almost a century of distinguished service is the record of which Cumberland University is justly proud. No college of like size in the United States can boast of so great contributions to the nation as can this little Univer- sity located at Lebanon, Tenn. Nearly twenty-one thousand young men and young women have studied here. They have gone out to all parts of the world to enrich the lives of others. Cumberland graduates have taken leading parts in every phase of national life. Supreme Court justices, Senators, Congressmen, Governors, judges, ministers, and business men claim Cumberland as their Alma Mater. Cumberland ' s inestimable contributions and achievements can best be appreciated by a comparison with other schools. She has always lacked the material resources, endowment, and physical equipment of larger schools, but has carried on continuously in spite of these disadvantages. Cumberland ' s noble efforts in the cause of higher education is a rich heritage with which every graduate is endowed. September 10, 1930, marked the beginning of the eighty-ninth year of Cumberland ' s history. Space does not permit us to mention the plans, hopes, and ambitions that have been born on the campus this year. There are, however, some significant events and changes that have taken place during the year that will have an important bearing on Cumberland ' s future progress. Most important of all is the recognition of Cumber- land ' s scholastic status by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This coveted honor came to the University on December 4, when she was placed on the approved and accredited list by a vote of the Commission of Higher Institutions of the association at its regular meeting at Atlanta, Ga. This will prove of great benefit to the University and students as well. Credits secured at Cumberland will be accepted in all the schools of the South. Cumberland ' s recognition and fame in the past has been due, in large part, to the high standards of her faculty. With the addition of several new members, the faculty this year has been unquestionably strengthened. For loyalty, efficiency, competence, and Christian ideals the faculty that we now have takes rank with those of much larger institutions. The high standards of scholarship of the Uni- versity ' s staff of instructors is her best recommendation. As proud as we are of our Alma Mater ' s record of service, our interest does not lie primarily in the advancement of the past, but rather in the program of service for the future. In June, 1927, the Trustees and Administrative Officers of Cumberland adopted plans for an expansion program which called tor the projection of a campaign with an ultimate objective of a million dollars. Since that time they have been working tire- lessly and unceasingly toward the success cf this undertaking. Men of vision, courage, and determination are directing the affairs at Cumberland. Their unquestioned loyalty and love for this old institution gives us every reason to believe that the future holds greater progress and advancement for Alma Mater. I ' ineteen hundred thirty-two will mark an epoch-making period of Cumberland University. It will be its ninetieth anniversary. Let every student and alumnus work toward the end that this celebration will mean the realization of dreams long cherished — A Greater Cumberland. 31 26 27 T ' % SENIOR CLASS COLLPIGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES LELAND D.

She is loyal to her school, and is a character we like to see, because we feel that college has de- veloped her in the way we like to see women grow.

Clara LaVelle Payne has dramatic and mu- sical ability, and, with her sense of romance, would find life on the stage congenial. She is a lovable person, and it is to be hoped that it may be possible for her to really choose some form of service in which her gift of human understanding and her interpretative powers may reveal to others tbe glory of the higher life.

COLLEGE OF LAW In 1826, fourteen years after the United States had definitely become a nation in the eyes of the world, the Cumberland Presbyterian Church established at Princeton, Ky., the institution of Cumberland College. After some years of trouble and difficulty, the Trustees decided to make a change in location, and asked for bids from towns in Tennessee to determine where the college should locate. Lebanon, Tennessee, made the most satisfactory bid, and it was to that town that Cumberland College was moved in 1843, to become Cum- berland University. On February 27. 1845, the Law Sch ' ool had its inception, upon the drawing up, by the Trustees, of the following resolution: Resolved, That Hon. N. Green be appointed Professor of Law and Political Economy in Cumberland University. However. Hon. N. Green declined, and it was not until 1847 that the Law School was established, following a recommendation by a committee appointed by the Board which read: 1. That a Department of Law be now established in the University, and that it be opened for the reception of students the first Monday in October following, if fifteen pupils can be obtained. ' Hon. Abraham Caruthers was elected as th-e first Professor of Law, and delivered his inaugural address in July, 1847. This address was printed in the New York Legal Jourtial at the time. The Law School of Cumberland University was opened in October, 1847. TTie first recitation was held in the law office of Judge Robert L. Caruthers, seven students being present the first day and thirteen for the first term. It was just at this time that Judge Abraham Caruth-ers was getting out his first edition of The History of a Lawsuit, a text used in practically every school in the State of Tennessee, up to the present day. The Law School grew rapidly, having twenty-five students the second term and forty during the third. Prior to the Civil War it was the largest law school in the United States, there being 181 students in 1857-58. In 1848, Hon. Nathan Green, Sr., was elected Professor of Law. He was at that time a member of the Tennessee Supreme Court. He resigned his position as member of this court in 1852, to become full Pro- fessor of Law until his death in 1866. Judge Bromfield L. Ridley, one of the chancellors of the State, was also elected in 1848 and served until 1852. In 1856, Nathan Green, Jr., was added to the law faculty, to continue in this position for a period of sixty-three years. John Cartwright Carter was made an addi- tional Professor of Law, in which position he labored for one year. He became a brigadier general in the Civil War and was killed in the battle of Franklin in 1864. After the Civil War, on the first Monday in September, 1865, the Law Sch ' ool reopened with twenty stu- dents and Nathan Green, Sr., and Nathan Green, Jr., as professors. The former died in 1866. Hon. Henry Cooper, at that time a judge of the Circuit Court, was appointed Law Professor. In 1868, Hon. Robert L. Caruthers was elected to full professorship in the Law School. He was the leading spirit in the founding of both Cumberland University and the Law School, and was one of thra most prominent public men in the State. Dr. Andrew B. Martin was Law Professor from 1878 to 1920. Hon. Edward Ewing Beard was Professor of Law from 1912 to 1923. Judge William R. Chambers was elected Law Professor in 1920, and has acted as Dean of the Law School since Judge Beard ' s death. Judge Albert Williams was elected professor in 1923, and served two years. Hon. Julian Faxon was made Professor of Law in 1925, and served until 1930. In 1930, Judge A. B. Neil, Judge of the Circuit Court, was elected Professor of Law, and he still holds this position. Thus the Law School of Cumberland University has grown through the teaching and training of teachers, great both in character and in accomplishments. Cumberland Law School has sent out many of the finest men that have ever graced the bench and bar, and yearly her graduates have added to her reputation. Cum- berland University has a heritage of great and illustrious graduates and teachers, whose prominence has made the reputation of Cumberland Law School not only State-wide, but nation-wide. We who graduate in the Class of ' 31 are a small but vital part of those inspired young men and women v ho have streamed through the doors of the Law School for eighty-six years. We accept the task of carrying on Cumber- land ' s former accomplishments humbly ; but with such a heritage to inspire us, we shall not fail. 31 ri j i vtf. r JSf T f ' f  « W ' «( f?

From far and wide we came, a helpless brood, And under thy protecting wing we found Safe shelter. Taught by thee, we now would try Our pinions, fly from out the nest to scar To those far-distant heights which beckon us. To leave will not be to forget! As days Do lengthen into weeks and months then years, Our thoughts will oftentimes return to thee; We ' ll live again in reveries these days That now have passed but ne ' er can fade away Completely. Fame and fortune may be ours In future years, but, as we thrive, we hope To bring fresh glory and renown to thee As well, and take our rightful place among Thy noted sons and daughters and enrich The goodly heritage bequeathed to us. The hour of parting has arrived, and we Our valedictory in Roman words Do make : All hail, O Cumberland, farewell! Irving V.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the oldest fraternal organization represented on the Cumberland campus, and Tennessee Lambda is the fourth oldest active chapter in S. A. E. Tennessee Lambda was organized in 1860, four days after the fraternity was born at the Univer- sity of Alabama. Dying during the war, when her entire membership joined the ranks of the gray, and rising up again soon after Appomattox, the chapter celebrated her sev- entieth birthday in the fall of 1930. Tennessee Lambda has at present more than seven hundred alumni, outnumbering those of any other chapter in Sigma Alpha Epsilon. 19 31 63 PHOENIX 31 64 PHOENIX DELTA KAPPA PHI Founded at Marshall College April S, 1929 TENNESSEE EPSILON CHAPTER FRATRES IN FACULTATE E.

This noble club, with its so far unascertainable purpose, so impressed four co-eds of Cumberland, who heard of it from a U. T. Zebra alum., that they immediately organized Beta Chapter.

It was founded six years before old Cumberland Col- lege was transferred to Lebanon under the name of Cumbe land University. Five charter members were included in the society when it was established in 1837 in the early days of Cumberland at Princeton, Kentucky. The youthful organization became a permanent part of this institution in 1848, when a new charter was obtained from the General Assembly of Tennessee, six years after its removal to Lebanon. Judge Robert L. Caruthers was chosen to deliver the first address, and Judge Nathan Green, Sr., was elected first honorary member. As the Amasagassean Society approaches the century mark, it shows no sign of ad- vancing old age; in fact, its birthday last fall, when ninety-three candles betokened its long, enviable record as a part of Cumberland University, was one of the liveliest and most favorable ever enjoyed in its history. Twice in succession has the society produced the winner of the State W. C. T. U. Oratorical Contest. It contributed two members of the debating team of 1930, and several members of the debating class this year. Eighteen thousand students have passed directly or indirectly under its influence during the past ninety-three years; and now Nos Palma Manet — the palm awaits us — is more truly than ever before the motto of the organization. The palm of victory is awarded for worth-while service. OFFICERS Earl Thompson President H. T. Wright Vice President Mildred Bryant Secretary Walter Smithwick Treasurer Guy C.

It was organized in 1856, and has not been out of existence since that date. The Association has for its aim: Bringing young men to Christ and sharing with them the joys of Chris- tian fellowship. The Y. M. C. A. was the only active Christian organization for the students this year. And to take care of this need was the special efforts of the leaders. The active group was small, but they carried the spirit of the Y and were of much help on the campus in this way. The local unit was active in district and State work the past year, and next year there will be a State Y conference held at Cumberland. OFFICERS John A. Troxler ...

The above group of law students represents thirteen World War veterans of various branches of service and one Red Cross worker. During the 1930-31 terms, members of the Ex-Service Club participated in various patriotic events, including the Armistice Day celebration, parade, and speaking, and the Christmas Big Brothers newspaper sale for charity, sponsored by the American Legion of Lebanon. 19 31 PHOENIX 9 88 PHOENIX THE TEXAS CLUB The Lone Star State is known for doing things in a big way, and this year at Cum- berland there was, as usual, a larger aggregation of Texans than any other denomina- tion. The Longhorns met early during the first semester and organized under a constitution which stated as the purpose of the club: To promote the general welfare of Texas law students attending Cumberland University; to better qualify the students for the practice of law in Texas; and to create, promote, and maintain social and pro- fessional ties. In pursuance of this program, classes were held by the Texas Club three nights each week during the first term for the study of Texas statutes, conducted by Jack Wiech, a member of the Texas bar. Moot court was held once each week, presided over by Judge A. C. Wood, wherein the laws of Texas were followed and practiced by the participants. Much practical knowledge was gained by the students who were active in the work of the Texas Club, but most prized of all for the students were the friendships made with their future practitioners at the bar.

LeRoy President Elizabeth Freeman Harry Phillips Vice President Winifred Jones Elkabeth Freeman Secretary and Treasurer Esther Young The International Relations Club is the only scholastic organization on the Cumber- land campus. The requirements for membership are one year ' s study in Cumberland and a general average of 87 M; per cent in all studies. This club is a chapter of the International Relations Clubs sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Meetings are held bimonthly, and talks by members or by special speakers are given. The club has at its disposal a number of books on subjects pertaining to the interests of the club.

The purpose of this organization is to promote and encourage the art of public speak- ing among its members, and certainly that art is undoubtedly one of the primary re- quirements of a young lawyer. The Circle is limited to a membership of twenty in order that each person may speak at least once every week. Frequent talking before an audience is desired because of the realization that the ability to speak extemporaneously and impromptu is acquired only as a result of constant practice. 31 91 PHOENIX ' LAwm 19 -c fflfe a 31 92 PHOENIX PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS Natural poise, a feeling of ease, the ability to think clearly and rapidly, and to con- struct and properly arrange a speech while standing before an audience are primary aims of a clas s of this nature. When these purposes may have been accomplished, pol- ishing touches may then be added here and there as a further development of the art of oratory. And if by diligent and persistent endeavor students have constantly kept apace with the substantial and technical points suggested during the class instruction, they are inevitably the beneficiaries of an invaluable art that will continually reap untold promotions to a happier and a more successful life. Merely to mention the benefits derived through the jovial association of the class members is to mention an ample and satisfying accomplishment. The enthusiasm, the pep, the willingness to attempt the apparently impossible, the fervent desire for the progress of fellow students, the good nature in accepting criticism, the readiness to do anything for the betterment of the entire class, and the regular class spirit maintained at every instant are all stones which have builded this highway of happy association.

Her reward was a record of five victories and two defeats. Encouraged by this splendid showing, a large number of students have taken an active interest this year. As The Phoenix goes to press, Cumberland debaters have already won four out of their five encounters, defeating Waynesburg College, McKendree Col- lege, Purdue University, and Milligan College, and losing to E. T. S. T. C. The Cumberland teams are coached by Prof. Ralph Donnell, head of the Mathematics Department, and trained by Mrs. May G. Rousseau. H. T. Wright, Harry Phillips, Joe Brown Cummings, Guy Thackston, John McCart, Hooper Crawford, and Theodore Gold- man have served in intercollegiate encounters. The chain-store and free-trade ques- tions have been used this year. The entire schedule is as follows: Waynesburg College (Pa . ) Here February 20 McKendree College (Ohio) Here March 1 7 Purdue University (Indiana). Here April 1 East Tennessee Teachers Here April 7 Milligan College Here April 10 Tennessee Tech Dual April 17 Johnson Bible College Dual April 21 East Tennessee Teachers Johnson City April 22 Milligan College Milligan College, Tenn April 23 Lincoln Memorial University Harrogate, Tenn April 24 31 PHOENIX BUCHANAN LOSER, Coach Although this is Coach ' s first year at Cumberland, he has already endeared himself to every student on the campus who knows him. Assuming his new duties in September. Coach Loser set about his work with an enthusiasm and determination that made the least observant think that he had always been a Cumber- land Bulldog. Relieved o£ the duties of coaching a football team, Coach began early to work with his bas- ketball candidates. How well he did his work is evidenced by the loyalty shown by the student body during the entire season. The familiar appellation of Buck is a pretty good indication that Buchanan Loser is one of the most popular as well as capable athletic directors Cumberland has had in many years. JOE REDD, Student Manager of Athletics The small, nicely dressed, red-headed young man that you have seen dashing about the campus all year with a seorebook in his hand is Joe Redd. As Student Manager of Athletics, Joe has acquitted himself in a manner that elicits praise from the whole student body. Efficiency, dependability, and loyalty has char- acterized his work. Joe was always wiUing to help when there was a problem to be solved and work to be done. We can think of no student athletic manager in recent years that was more popular on the Cumber- land campus than Joe Redd has been. PROF. RALPH DONNELL, Chairman of Faculty Athletic Committee • Prof, as ho is familiarly known to almost every student, is an untiring worker. His enthusiasm and loy- alty stamps him as a true son of Cumberland. He organized the Alumni Athletic Association, which has been responsible for our ltl30-31 athletic program. Professor Donnell ' s interestedness in student activities would indicate that he is just as much a student as any of us. We are of the opinion that the University administrators could not have decided more wi.sely than when they chose Prof. Donnell as Chairman of the Faculty Athletic Committee. 31 PHOENIX GRRRR In years past, it has always been the pride of Cuniberlanders to turn to this page of The Phcenix -with the expecta tion of seeing the pictures of maroon and white-clad football players. If the chain of Cumberland ' s athletic tradition has been broken, it is because the bulldog, emblem of the University ' s athletic prowess; did not growl on Kirk Field in 1930. During the semi-annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of our University in June, 1930, they saw fit, and wisely, to withdraw their financial support of intercollegiate ath- letics from the University ' s budget. Although enthusiastic lovers of football and loyal followers of the bulldog sought by every available means to put a football team on Kirk Field, they were unsuccessful, because the financial burden was too great. For the past few months probably no other subject has been so widely discussed in American colleges as college athletics. Many university presidents believe that football is being overemphasized. It is not for the writer to enter into any such controversy, but he does believe that college athletics should have an important place on the Univer- sity calendar of student activities. We are proud to state in this connection that our own President, Dr. E. L. Stockton, is a firm believer in athletics as a means of develop- ing alert minds and strong bodies. As a substitute for intercollegiate athletics, a plan of intramural competition was in- troduced on the Cumberland campus this year. The plan has worked satisfactorily to all concerned. Greater numbers of students have been able to participate in sports. This should be the primary aim of college athletics. Cheer up, Cuniberlanders! If you were denied the thrills, excitement, and the pride of a football team this year, you are privileged to dream of days to come — days when the bulldog will growl again. When Cumberland shall have been adequately endowed, the familiar bark of signals, the thud of a punted pigskin, an intercepted pass, a touch- down, and the enthusiastic yells of Cumberland students are scenes that will reign once more on Kirk Field. 31 98 PHOENIX VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM FIRST GAME The Cumberland Bulldogs opened their season with the Burk Terrors. This game was hotly contested, the aftray being much better than the score indicated. At the end of the half the score was 16 to 17 in favor of the visitors, but during the second half the Terrors showed their eye for the basket was considerably keener than the Bulldogs ' . Final score: Terrors, 42; Cumberland, 27. SECOND GAME Rockvale came to Cumberland to match their five with the Bulldogs, and the final score of this game was as much in our favor as the first game was for the Terrors. The score at the end of the half was: Cumberland, 20; Rockvale, 17. But in the second half the visitors were swept off their feet. The final whistle came with the first victory for Cumberland with a score of 45 to 17. THIRD GAME With such an overwhelming victory in the second game, the Bulldogs decided to play Vandy, at that time a favorite in the Southern Conference. This game was played in the West End Gym, Nashville. It goes without saying the Bulldogs sustained another defeat. However, you can put it down in this resume that the boys really gave them plenty fight, even if Bill Schwartz, all-Southern football selection, was on the team. Final score: Vandy, 50; Cumberland, 26. FOURTH GAME With another week ' s hard practice, the Bulldogs clashed with the Ideal Aces, from the capital city. This game appeared to be a crip for the Aces. Their floor work and passing were unexcelled. Three of our most important cogs had three personal fouls at the end of the game. Final score: Aces, 42; Cumberland, 22. 31 h@ia 99 PHOENIX FIFTH GAME Bethel College Cagers, from Russellville, Kentucky, journeyed down to exchange goals with the Bulldogs, and before the game the two. teams were doped to be evenly matched; or if there were any odds, I g ' uess Cumberland had a fair edge. At the end of the first half the Bulldogs were trailing a few points, and during the second period the score steadily increased for the Kentuckians. Final score: Bethel, 40; Cumber- land, 26. SIXTH GAME Again the Burk Terrors came over to carry back the bacon in the second match with the Bulldogs. But they anticipated too much. This game was one of the roughest games of the season, as both teams were putting all they had into the game. At the end of the half the score was 21 to 18 in favor of Cumberland, and during the second half both teams did a great deal of scoring, but the Bulldogs won out by a slight margin. Final score: Cumberland, 35; Terrors, 33. SEVENTH GAME The second game with Bethel College was played in Russellville, Kentucky. The boys left the University to avenge themselves of the last game with the Kentuckians. It wasn ' t a bad game, either, as the boys fought hard and steady through both halves. The score at the end of the half was 14 to il in favor of Bethel. The second twenty minutes passed rapidly, and both teams made many points. At the sound of the official ' s whistle the score indicated that the Bulldogs had been defeated again by a small score. The final score: Bethel, 28; Cumberland, 24. EIGHTH GAME Again the Rockvale team came oack to even up the score with the Bulldogs, Cumber- land having won the second game of the season from them by a score of 20 to 17. The visitors gave the boys more trouble in this game than they did in the first. To be frank, the members of the Bulldog squad really had to extend themselves to defeat them. Cumberland at the end of the half was behind four points, the score being 8 to 12 in favor of Rockvale. During the last period of the game we got our eye on the basket and won the game. Final score: Cumberland, 31; Rockvale, 24. 19 31 100 PHOENIX NINTH GAME David Lipscomb was the next game on the schedule, and it was a real game of basket- ball. Cumberland was boiling over with the old fight that was ever predominant on the court. The visitors were only four points behind at the end of the half, and it was any- body ' s game until the last ff the second half. The Bulldogs started shooting-, and it looked as if they couldn ' t miss. The final score: Cumberland, 31; David Lipscomb, 21. TENTH GAME Tennessee Polytechnic Institute had one of the best teams in the Mississippi Valley Conference, and the game we played them that night was one of the best games played during the season, in spite of the fact that the visitors defeated us by a fairly large score. At the end of the half T. P. L was 16 points ahead; but when the Bulldogs came in from the half, they showed the spirit and fight of a new team. The boys were just a little outclassed, and the game was not a victory for Cumberland. Final score: T. P. L, 44. Q u. 35. ELEVENTH GAME This was the second game with the Cagers, from T. P. L; and, to be fair, the Bulldogs were outplayed and outclassed in every phase of the game. The fouling in this game was bad; and when a shot was attempted, it was doubtful whether it would get to the backboard or not. The T. P. I. team showed beautiful form, speed, and accuracy. The whistle blew, and it was good for the Bulldogs, for the visitors couldn ' t miss. The final score was: T. P. L, 69; Cumberland, 24. TWELFTH GAME The first game with the Tidwell Stars was played in Father Ryan Gym, Nashville. The Bulldogs played a wonderful game up to the end of the first half, the score being 10 to 6 in favor of the Stars. When the second half started, the Stars shot with devas- tating accuracy, which won them the game by a big score. Final score: Tidwell Stars, 3.5; Cumberland, 23. 31 101 PHOENIX THIRTEENTH GAME The Cumberland University Basketball Team journeyed over to play the David Lips- comb Cagers. This game was hard fought from the initial sound of the official ' s whis- tle. The score at the end of the first haff clearly indicated that the Bulldogs were play- ing a little better brand ball, but during the second half the Nashvillians staged a decided comeback and won the game by a fair score. Final score: David Lipscomb, 37; Cumberland, 25. FOURTEENTH GAME The Tidwell Stars again came to Cumberland to do battle with the Bulldogs, after having been defeated in their first affray in their local gym at Nashville. At the end of the half the Bulldogs were trailing by 2 points, the score being 22 to 20. At the beginning of the second half the Tidwell Stars came back to win the game to the tune of a big score. Final score: Stars, 56; Cumberland, 3L FIFTEENTH GAME The last game of the season was a play-off between Burk Terrors and the Bulldogs. Each team had won one game each, and this game was arranged to break the deadlock. It was said by many of the spectators that this last game was the best of the season — that there was more fight and real sportsmanship than any other game they had seen. It was in this game that Shannon Robison sustained a head laceration and had to be taken from the court in the last few minutes of play. The Terrors won by a big score. Final score: Terrors, 58; Cumberland, 35. SEASON ENDED 31 102 PHOENIX C. U. CO-EDS, 63; B. T. I., 37 On December 13 the Co-Eds of Cumberland opened their basketball season on the home court with a whirlwind attack against B. T. I., of Nashville. The supremacy of the local sextette was never cnce threatened, as they secured a lead eariy in the game and held it throughout. When the final whistle blew, the contest ended with the score 63 to 37 in favor of our girls. Connell, Lib Freeman, and Vaughan played the forward berths, while Ligon, Bullington, and Winfree held down the guard positions. C. U. CO-EDS, 23; AUSTIN PEAY NORMAL, 28 On January 16 the girls ' team met as their opponent Austin Peay Normal, of Clarks- ville; and in one of the most poorly played games of the season, on the home court, the Cc-Eds met defeat by the score of 28 to 23. The girls seemingly had not recovered from the effects of the Christmas holidays. They simply failed to get started. C. U. CO-EDS, 30; WSM, 35 The girls next met the highly touted WSM sextette, from Nashville, on January 24. The game proved to be one of the most thrilling combats of the whole season. Strength- ened by the acquisition of Ruth Freeman, the team showed splendid teamwork. But the insurance girls happened to be on the long end of a 35-to-30 count when the last whistle blew. C. U. CO-EDS, 18; ACETTES, 44 In the first game played on a foreign court, January 28, our Co-Eds met a decisive defeat, the largest score of the season being piled up on them by the Acettes, from Nash- ville. This game resembled a free-for-all battle more than it did a well-refereed basket- ball game. Lib, Ruth, and Lucy attempted to play forward positions, while Vaughan, Ligon, and Winfree tackled guard berths. Coach Troxler was glad to simply get his team home safe and sound. 31 HOENIX F uzA Am-c. B.BN Caar. - mwEWNf Vbuqhn - V. jwewer BuLuneioH- a. - — i V . . V ' l) C. U. CO-EDS, 22; DUPONT, 36 Another disheartening game on a foreign court ensued when the Co-Eds clashed with Dupont on January 31. The girls never woke up. Everything went wrong, and the Old Hickory girls won a decisive victory by a 36-to-22 score. C. U. CO-EDS, 32; ACETTES, 35 What a game! Cumberland fans and backers declared that this was one of the best games that they had ever seen in the C. U. Gym. The Co-Eds were determined to show those Acettes they could play basketball, if not a free-for-all. So on the night of Feb- ruary 12 the girls invited the Acettes to Lebanon. The teamwork was almost perfect. Capt. Lib Freeman, Cousin Ruth, and Kitty Vaughan just about equally shared scoring honors. Red Connell, Maggie Bullington, and Elsirus Winfree did some splendid guard- ing. The fans yelled and shouted themselves hoarse, more pep and spirit being mani- fested at this game than any other, either girls or boys, of the entire season. The Acettes won the game by three points, but our girls felt that they had gotten sweet revenge. C. U. CO-EDS, 27; AUSTIN PEAY NORMAL, 42 On February 13 the girls — that is, some of them — motored to Clarksville to play Aus- tin Peay Normal. Tired out by the long journey, one or two first-string men absent, and thoroughly exhausted by the encounter with the Acettes the night before, the Co- Eds fell before the onslaughts of the Clarksville team 42 to 27. Coach Troxler felt that he should have won the two encounters with the Normal, but somehow his girls just didn ' t meet them at the right time. C. U. CO-EDS, 37; DAVID LIPSCOMB, 21 On the night of February 23 the girls came into their own and mopped up with the David Lipscomb sextette in the home gym, 37 to 21. Ruth and Lib Freeman and Red Connell shared scoring honors, while Ligon, Winfree, and Bullington did some excellent guarding. 31 104 PHOENIX C. U. CO-EDS, 36; WSM, 45 February 26 the Co-Eds met WSM in the Nashville Gym and played one of the best games of the season on a foreign court. The team had excellent teamwork, but lacked ability to ring points in the last quarter. The score was tied many times throug ' hout the encounter. The game ended with the score 45 to 36 in favor of WSM. C. U. CO-EDS, 25; DAVID LIPSCOMB, 29 The Co-Eds next met David Lipscomb in Nashville on March 3, and were defeated 28 to 25. The girls should have won this game, but failed to click. C. U. CO-EDS, 59; B. T. I., 31 Again the Co-Eds played in Nashville, this time against B. T. L, and won 59 to 31. The date of the game was March 5, and was the last played on a foreign court. Every member of the team played good ball. C. U. CO-EDS, 34; INDEPENDENT LIFE, 13 The last game of the season was played on March 10, and it marked another victory for the Co-Eds. The score was 34 to 13. Ruth Freeman was responsible for most of C. U. ' s points, and Connell, Bullington, and Winfree put up excellent opposition for the opposing forwards. The Co-Eds won only four out of twelve games, but scored 406 points to their oppo- nents ' 396. The season was a success, broadly speaking, and we predict for the Co-Eds a glorious season in 1932. Seven players and Coach Troxler were awarded sweaters at the annual banquet. Margaret Bullington, guard of ' 31, was elected to lead the Co-Eds in 1932. 105 PHOENIX 106 31 PHOENIX INTRAMURAL SPORTS ■ The ambition of the Department of Intramural Atheltics of Cumberland University is to make it possible for every student to have an opportunity to indulge in athletic competition of some sort or other. We want every student to know the joy and thrill of spirited competition in sport and to realize the lasting benefits that may be derived from healthy outdoor play. Not every student can be a candidate for varsity athletics, but every student can fi nd a sport to his liking in our intramural program. It is as important that we secure 100 per cent participation in this program as it is to have championship teams. On practi- cally every campus where you find a well-carried-out program you will find large squads of well-trained men out for the various teams, and an active, intelligent interest toward sports in the entire student body. The men of Cumberland University made a fine record this year when a large per- centage of their number participated in the intramural schedule. P.ay the game you like and learn to play that you may become stronger, hea.thier men who will be a credit to Cumberland University and the nation. In the season of 1930-31 the Intramural Department was pleased with the record of intramural athletics, which indicates that a great percentage of the enrollment of the Uni- versity has competed in some form of athletic competition this year. Gradually the department is enlarging its program in athletic sports, and is planning to add any activ- ity that the student will benefit from. The benefits derived from intramural sports are immeasurable. It is safe to say that wise participation in intramural sports has a beneficial effect on scholarship as well as on the physical development of the individual. This improvement comes indirectly from a healthful recreation which builds up one ' s energy rather than dissipates it. By com- parison it is found that students who take an active part in some sort of intramu- ral athletic competition rank high in the scholastic standings. Without more scien- tific investigation for intramural work there must be some truth in the old adage, A sound mind in a sound body, that has persisted throughout the ages. Intramural ath- letics have for their objectives: recreation, group spirit, social benefit, better health, de- velopment of interest in sports, and scholarship. Men who have not been athletes, or rather have net discovered their ability before com- ing to college, have, through intramural sports, seen their possibilities and have made good on their teams. Special emphasis has been placed on intramural work at Cumberland during the cur- rent year. Fraternity and class leagues were organized in all sports, and caused con- siderable interest among the men students. Intramural competition started in the fall with golf and tennis tournaments, was followed by basketball, and terminated in the spring with baseball. 19 107 31 PHOENIX S. A. E.

The Sig Alphs clinched the trophy by downing the Inde- pendents twice in succession in the play-off. The Sig Alph five went through the season with a spotless record until the final game, when the Independents upset the dope bucket and trounced them 25 to 12. The Sig Alphs came back in the play-off and won twice — 31 to 23 and 22 to 18. Fount Robison, Captain of the S. A. E. team, scored forty-two points in the tourney, and his lanky brother. Shannon, led the team with forty-five. Red Williams, forward, scored thirty-eight points. Fount was chosen Captain of the all-tourney team, and Shannon also won a place on the honorary five. There were six teams competing in the tourney — S. A. E.s, Lambda Chis, Sigma Delta Kappas, Delta Kappa Phis, Stray Greeks, and Independents. The silver baske t- ball trophy presented to the S. A. E. team is a rotating one, with the team winning two out of three tournaments holding it permanently. 31 108 PHOENIX INDEPENDENT BASKETBALL TEAM (RUNNER-UP) Front Row Parson Speck, Lyndon Jennings, Shabby Haralson Back Row Hooper Crawford, Perry Davis, John Nix, Lilburn Bullington, Brent Crawley Captained by Lyndon Jennings, Freshman in the Literary School, the Independent Baslvetball Club gave the champions and all other teams they played the keenest compe- tition, winning every game played until the decisive play-off series with the S. A. E.s. Parson Speck, who has a dead eye for the basket, was high-point man for the Inde- pendents, scoring sixty-two points. Dave Prehoda, member of the Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity, was the only man to chalk up more scores than Parson, his total being seventy-four points.

Fowler, through all his matches, exhibited a masterful touch and court generalship that proved too much for his opponents. Ronald Mcintosh, with whom the champion played ths final match of the tournament, stubbornly contested the bid for th ' a coveted crown. Fowler ' s hard smashes were returned by Mcintosh only to have the champ play them back with hard drives scarcely clearing the net. The first set was exciting: from the initial serve, as both players tried to outmatch the other in every art of the game. Fowler finally pushed through the first set, win- ning 7-5. In the second affray Mcintosh made a deter- mined stand, but to no avail, as Fowler ' s hard strokes continued to clear the net with destructive accuracy, finally winning 6-4. In the semi-finals Fowler defeated Goodman — 6-1, 6-3 — the loser rallying in the second period and forcing Fow- ler to extend himself to win. Mcintosh won his semi-finals easily, taking straight sets from Hare- — -6-1, 6-0. The quarter-finals saw Goodman defeat Smithwich — 6-4, 6-3. Fowler defeated Williams — 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 — the champion being swept off his feet in the second set, but recovering in time to nose out in the last set. Hare defeated Matthews — 6-2, 6-2. 31 no PHOENIX GOLF CLUB With an entry list of thirty-four aspirants for the Uni- versity golf crown, the tournament was the best in years. Upsets of every kind featured th ' 3 early rounds. The announcement that the golf tournament would start just as soon as the course could be reworked and put in excellent condition was met with a great deal of enthu- siasm by the student body. Clubs of every kind could be seen on the shoulders of the caddies — new and shiny sets belonging to the egotistical beginner and the old, rusty clubs owned by the retired golfer who could not resist the temptation to try again. There was quite a bit of spirit in the air, too, judging from th-e number of foursomes meeting in the afternoon. The fact that the workmen were actually engaged in building new sand greens and bunkers, that scorecards were being printed, brought the boys to realize that there would be some real sport in this game called golf. Gordon Schaul, of the Junior Law Class, won the golf crown and was awarded a beautiful loving cup presented by the C. U. A, A. at general assembly. Bob Adams, C. U. Alumni Secretary, played Schaul one of the tightest match-es of the season. Some say it was the best golf that has ever been played on the University course. H. B. Dudley, of the Senior Law Class, was runner-up in the tournament, and proved to be one of the most con- sistent (JToIfers Cumberland has ever had. Roger Phillips, one of the heavy favorites to wage war with the irons, was eliminated in the first round by Dud- ley. GORDON SCHAUL University Champion H. B. DUDLEY Runner-Up 31 PHOENIX BASEBALL Baseball is the one sport in which Cumberland has always been able to compete on even terms with the larger schools of the South. To call to mind the names of Byrd Douglas, Minis Tyner, and a host of others who have performed brilliantly on the dia- mond is to indulge in reminiscences of the days when Cumberland was to be reckoned with in Southern intercollegiate baseball circ.es. The team of 1929, the last to per- form for Cumberland, though not the best in recent years, was an example of the possi- bilities that we have on the campus every spring for a winning team. The above- mentioned team showed a neat balance in the win column at the end of the season. We regret not being able to show the pictures of another winning team in 1931. In- tercollegiate baseball competition was discontinued in 1931, but perhaps it is not so bad after all, because the University ' s program of intramural competition has taken care of the national pastime on the campus in a way that is entirely satisfactory. Never before has the baseball season been ushered in on Kirk Field with more wide- spread interest and enthusiasm among the students than was the case this spring. Every afternoon the athletic field was alive with would-be Ruths, Hornsbys, Wilsons, Groves, and who have you, working for positions on one of the seven teams entered in the intramural league. The teams which are competing for the championship are: Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Delta Kappa Phi, Sigma Delta Kappa, Stray Greeks, Independents, and the Faculty. The dark horse among the teams is, of course, the Faculty entry. In their only start thus far the old timers showed the youngsters a few tricks about how the game of baseball ought to be played, and that they could still rattle the boards and run the bases as they did when they wore Bulldog uniforms. Interest is kept alive and competition made keener by the offer of a pennant to the winning team by the C. U. A. A. Each team must meet every other team, and the aggregation having- the highest percentage at the end of the season will be presented with the trophy. INTRAMURAL BASEBALL SCHEDULE S. A. E. L. X. A. D.

Typical bachelors need not apply. Only the fact that we are on probation prevents us from throwing bigger and better par- ties. We only pledge before athletic contests, in a fraternity meet. This is the Sleep and Eat Club. We also press clothes and take orders for soda pop. Our aim is to have an S. A. E. in every home by 1932. Fifty million Freshmen can ' t be wrong. Get your pledge pin at the post office — one thrown in with every book of stamps. Delta Phi Omega: Our motto is, Every sister for herself. We are not expecting many members back next year, as most of us are Seniors ; but guess we will pull through, for cats always come back. We pledge everybody to keep the Sigma Delts from getting them and then break the ones we don ' t want. We can ' t win elections, but that ' s not our fault. D, P. O. stands for d — poor organization. We have cars in abundance, so rides on rainy days guaranteed if your sisters don ' t see you first. See the Registrar for pledge pins. No liability will attach unless the sisters feel amiable enough to pass you. Main asset is that we are the only sorority on campus giving a banquet. Sigma Delta Kappa: We never sleep. Open day and night. Chapters everywhere, some inactive. George Washington was a brother, as well as Ford Smithe. You can ' t go wrong, so join our throng, and we ' ll take care of you in any condition. We guarantee entrance to all doors, whether open or locked. don ' t count — in fact, we like them best through practice. B. O. degree easy with us bebind you pledge pins from General Hatton, Number 1, Public Square. Sigma Delta Sigma: Our name is Some Dumb Sisters. We are loyal unto the death of the D. P. O.s. Our firm name is Jones and Golladay. Man was not made so Jhat he could resist our organized efforts. Bigger and better fraternity pins are our motto. We have the only house conveniently off the beaten path. We are so exclusive that we only initiate every other year or so. We will bring our pledge pins to you at the hospital. Delta Kappa Phi: We take them all. No race or age restrictions. Officially known as Red Burkitt ' s Cosmopolitan Brigade. Public goating a pleasure. We have several chapters here and there, whose motto is. All men are equal. We have two h-andsome cars belonging to worthy brothers, a house as yet un- tainted with numerous portraits of the departed brothers of yesteryear. We throw national conventions, parties, and possum hunts. Particularly strong on faculty brothers. Our facilities include an adjoining golf course, tea room, and what-have-you. Our rates are reasonable. Iota Tau Tan: We are so exclusive that co-eds fight to keep out. We beg each law co-ed to join, because we are so hard up. Our sorority is unique, because almost any sort or type of girl can be exhibited on short notice. Every member guaranteed an office within one month of pledging. Elections run exclusively by the Alumnje and Librarian. Our motto is. Peace at any price. Together, we purr; divided, we scratch. All parties are stag. Our social prominence became so great that the authorities forced us to give up a meeting a year, cutting our program to one meeting a month. Lambda Chi Alpha: We gave the best dances in school until threatened with expulsion. Each member of our fraternity is a man without a doubt, although there are a good many pins out. We are compara- tively young, but lusty. Scotty Mason and Sam Burts are the men who lay traps for unsuspecting Fresh- men and see that proper publicity is given. If you want drugs on credit, or flowers wholesale, and a place to hang your hat. and throw ball, pledge this fraternity. Our only drawback as a national fraternity is that we have a pay phone. Our best rushing point: that we don ' t eat in the house, and thus avoid the dread plague of beans, with which other fraternities are infested. Stray Greeks: We are the minute men of the campus. We spend hours comparing the merits of deah old Rho Dammit Rho, at Siwash and Podunk. We are the brotherhood of Panhellenic. We can be recog- nized at a distance of ten feet by our large and assorted seal rings. We sing the college songs if not forci- bly restrained, on all occasions. We sigh for the days that were. Join our forces, and lie safely about your fraternity ' s national standing. The worm was digging away in dead earnest. Poor Ernest! Kissie: What do you call your fraternity pin? Jack Ross; The soldier. Kissie: Why? Jack: Because it ' s been on so many fronts. Miss Jones : Have you read ' Kenilworth ? ' Mattie Walker : No, I hate dog stories. Polly: Doc ' s moustache makes me laugh. Stewdie : Yes, it tickles me too. Esther Young: The minute Smallwood kissed me I knew he played the trombone. Attorney Roebuck: Then you think our fair defendant. Miss Rauch. is assured of victory in this case? Attorney Oscar Lee Black: Yes, she could win with one leg tied behind h ' er. Dr. Dickerson ; Have you seen any rats around here? Lois Johnson: Gnaw. Then there was the absent-minded professor ' s wife, who found the professor kissing one of his prettiest and youngest students, and she laughed and laughed, because she knew the professor was so absent- minded. 125 31 PHOENIX LEBANON CHURCHES 31 126 PHOENIX SCENES IN AND NEAR LEBANON I Q . 31 127 unnnxnnnnnnnnnnnnnxnuunnnnnnuuuu University Training is the Foundation of Success and CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY Founded in 1842 Offers you not only the many educational advantages obtain- able at other colleges, but additional training in special courses in different lines, that will thoroughly and properly prepare you for the greatest success in your particular vocation or chosen profession.
