HOLLIS GODFREY, Ph.B., Sc.D., F.R.G.S. R. HOLLIS GODFREY was born April 27, 1874, at Lynn, Massachusetts. He was educated at 'l'uft's College, where he afterwards served asa member of the Board of Visitorsg at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where for two years he was a member of the Alumni Council, and at Harvard University. He holds many degrees, is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Societyg a member of Phi Beta Kappa and of numerous other educational, industrial and social organizations. Before his election in IQIQ, to the Presidency of the Drexel Institute, President Godfrey made a careful study ofits powers and possibilities, and ofits future. His experience in educational lines has been broad and practical. He was head of the Department of Science in the High School of Practical Arts, in Boston, for four years, during which time he reorganized the course, vitalizing its relation to vocational training. For six years hc was a teacher and administrator in night school work in Boston, which is similar to the splendid work done by the evening classes at Drexel lnstitute. He helped to organize the Garland School and for two years directed its policy in the teaching of science and in extension work. He has also had a part in organizing and directing three schools of domestic science. He has been frequently called as a lecturer and consultant to a number of colleges and universities. This excellent training as an organizer and his thorough knowledge of the difficult problems connected with great education institutions President Godfrey has given to Drexel Institute, so that it has come to be one of the foremost institutions of Art, Science and lndustry in the country. President Godfrey's business experience is well known. He twice passed through the different departments of a business, holding every kind of position from fireman to superintendent. He has been a worker in City Health, Sanitary Engineering, and Industrial Betterment and was chiefof the Bureau of Gas, Philadelphia, and Consulting Engineer to the city in the reorganization of its water system, besides holding many other positions ofConsulting Engineer. While employed with State and Federal laws in Sanitary Engineering, he spent several years abroad where he had exceptional opportunities of studying government work in England, France, Germany and Switzerland. 'l'he versatility of his genius is evidenced by his work as an author, notable among his publications are books of fiction, among which is The Man Who Ended the War, published in i9o8g also books on Sanitary Engineeringg on Chemistry, and numerous monographs concerned with Applied Science and Education. He has also published articles in the flllrmlir Monll1Lv, Collierhr and other magazines. President Woodrow Wilson, recognizing Dr. Godfrey's ability and keen insight, appointed him to membership in the Advisory Commission of the Council for National Defense, of which he is the youngest member. Recently he was appointed a member of the National Research Council. Into his work for Drexel, Dr. Godfrey puts the full force and energy of his nature. No effort is too great that advances the good of the Institute and none is overlooked that brings help to a single student. The students of Drexel like to feel that in their President they have a friend. President Godfrey has done much towards the development of the splendid Drexel spirit which has been manifested in the preparations for the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Institute to be celebrated next year and has constantly sought to carry out Mr. Drexel's desire- I want the students to lead happy as well as useful lives. The classes of 1917 take this opportunity of expressing their appreciation of Mrs. Godfrey's kindness to the students. 'l'hey wish to assure her of their grateful thanks for many courtesies which have added to the pleasures of life at Drexel. Page four xi LA'r1s ANTHONY ll. DRICXHI, I Jflgu' filh Preface O the readers of this book we extend greetings, with the hope that they will not be disappointed. A r To those who, by their contributions to the different departments, have made possible the publication of this book, we acknowledge a profound debt of gratitude. We also extend hearty thanks to all those who have helped us with suggestions or advice, or in any other Way. I We hope that, in formulating your opinion as to the merits of this record of our deeds and daring, you will be guided by what has given you pleasure, rather than by its lack of literary and artistic value, and in the words ofjames Whitcomb Riley: Simply take what the scrawl is worth- Knowing I love you as the sun the sod On the ripening side of the great round earth That swings in the smile of God. And remember, the good times we have had cannot be taken from us. THE LEXERD STAFF. Page .fix ' Airruuu Row1.ANo Sc.D. ARTHUR I. ROWLAND, Sc.D. R. ROWLAND had, throughout his early education, the opportunity of widely diverse training, so valuable to one who is constantly meeting that most complex type of human nature--the student. After a year spent at the University of Penn- sylvania, and several in the study of languages at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Rowland became interested in dairy farming and dropped his college work for a time. Three years later, in 1890, he re-entered Johns Hopkins, graduating as a Proficient in Applied Electricity in 1893. Almost immediately afterwards he came to Drexel lnstitute. It was at the time when the lnstitute courses were in process of formation and Dr. Rowland was given entire charge of purchasing and in- stalling the equipment as well as starting the classes in Electrical Engineering. ln answer to a continually growing demand, in 1906, the School of Engineering was organized to include courses in Me- chanical and Civil, as well as Electrical Engineering with Dr. Rowland as Director. ln that year too, Bucknell University conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Science. . Dr. Rowland's work as consulting engineer, especially in the field of lighting and illumination, has brought him into great promi- nence in his profession. He is a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the Illuminating Engineering Society, the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, and the En- gineer's Club of Philadelphia. ln one of the Dean's addresses to the student body, he referred to himself as a mother's helper, not to aid in the inflicting of punishment, as many of this vocation are wont to do, but to help the more immature members of his large family to help themselves. The students of Drexel lnstitute appreciate the organization of Drexel into a family group in which they gladly accord the Dean this honorable position. Page eight HENRY V. GUMMERE, M.A. In 1888, Professor Gummere was graduated from Haverford College with a B.S. degree. The following year he received his Master's degree from Haverford, and in 1890, the degree of M.A. from Harvard. After spending the years from 1889 to 1893 in graduate work, he became instructor in Mathematics at Swarthmore College. Following graduate work in Harvard came the appointment of Professor in Mathematics and Physics in Ursinus College, which Professor Gummere filled until his appointment as Professor of Mathematics in Drexel lnstitute in 1904. Although most of his time is taken up with the evening school work, Professor Gummere is always ready to lend a helping hand to the day students. HENRY NEWTON BENKERT, B.S., C.E. Professor Benkert entered Swarthmore College from Swarthmore Preparatory School and was gradu- ated in 1901 with a B.S. degree and in 1904 as Civil Engineer. From 1902 to 1907 Professor Ben- kert was connected with the faculty of the Engineer- ing Department of Swarthmore College. In 1905, he became an instructor in Engineering at Drexel Institute, receiving the appointment of Professor of Electrical Engineering in 1909. His subtle wit and good humor have made for him a host of ABRAHAM HENWOOD, B.S., M.S. - Professor Henwood received his preparatory train- ing at Girard College. He was graduated from Uni- versity of Pennsylvania in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and in 1916 received his M.S. degree. In 1917, Professor Henwood was appointed a chief of investigation in connection with the work of the advisory commission of the Council of National Defense. In seeking information regarding Professor Hen- Wood's newest title the answer given was a broad smile and the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Chemistry Department of Drexel Institute. He is presiding officer of the Philadelphia section of the American Chemical Society, comprising more than five hundred chemists engaged in all lines of work in and around Philadelphia. friends. MABEL DICKSON CHERRY Miss Cherry was graduated from the Philadelphia Normal School in 1898, and from Boston Normal School ofGymnastics QIQIO, Department ofHygienc, Wellesley Collegej, 1900. In 1907 Miss Cherry became a member of the faculty of Drexel ln- stitute. As assistant to the Dean in charge of the women students, her advice is greatly esteemed. Page nim- T EDITH BAER, B.S. V Miss Baer was graduated from Normal Domestic Science Department of Drexel Institute in 1904. In 1913 she received her B.S. degree from Columbia University. She was instructor of Domestic Science in Northampton, Mass., 1904-1907, Drexel Institute, 1907-19124 'l'eacher's College, 1912-1913, and in 1915 was appointed Professor of the Domes- tic Science. L. CI-IESTON STARKEY, M.E. Professor Starkey was graduated from Central High School, and entered Lehigh University, receiving l1is M.E. degree from that university in 1898. He then became principal of Philadelphia Public Schools, and after four years resigned to return to the Engineering Department of his alma mater. In 1904 Professor Starkey became an instructor of Engineering in Drexel, receiving the appointment of Professor of Mechanical En- gineering in 1907. He is always ready to lend a CAROLINE A. M. HALL Mrs. Hall was graduated from the Normal Course in Domestic Arts at Pratt Institute and was for a number of years connected with the Young Women's Christian Association in Brooklyn. In 1892 Mrs. Hall organized a Department of Dressmaking at Drexel and in 1901 she became director of the Normal Course in Domestic Arts, receiving the appointment of Professor of Domestic Arts in 1914. Her earnest work has won for Mrs. Hall the great confidence and eo-operation of her students. helping l1and. J. PETERSON RYDER, B.S. Mr. Ryder was graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Chemistry and from Boston Normal School of Gymnastics. He was then appointed Professor of Physical Training at Drexel Institute. Mr. Rydcr's earnest co-operation in the advancement of school activities is greatly appreciated by tl1e student body, and the Glee Club certainly owes its life to him. 1 1 l 1 1 Page len l l- CARL LEWIS ALTMAIER Professor Altmaier received his education in the public schools of Harrisburg, and from there en- tered the National School of Elocution and Oratory in Philadelphia before taking up law. He then entered the office of 'Strawbridge 84 Taylor where he began his study of law, being admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in 1889. Professor Altmaicr has also studied in the Universities of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Cornell and Chicago, specializing in pedagogy. ln 1893 he became instructor in De- partment of Commerce and Finance of Drexel and in 1914 was appointed Professor of Secretarial Studies. Professor Altmaier's faithfulness in help- ing his students toward becoming efiicient business men and women is well recognized by the ln- stitute. KATHARINE D. BROWN B.S. WELLESLEY A.M. Buc1cNE1.1. Mrs. Brown was appointed instructor in Mathe- matics in 1895, and in 1914 shc received thc appoint- ment of Professor of Technical English when she began her work with the girls. Mrs. Brown still keeps her oflice in the boys' corridor, and frequent visits to her oflicc lead us to believe she is in the right place. FRANCES E. MACINTYRE R1:G1s1'1zAR Miss Maclntyre received the appointment or Chief Clerk in the Registrar's ofiice in 1905. In 1909 she was appointed Registrar of the lnstitute. On the first and last days the students meet Miss Maclntyre, greeting her with a matriculation card and she, in her turn, greets them with a smile. Page eleven J. I,vNI'ORIJ BIeAvIcR, HIC.

IMIENRY HO'I'z, Chorixlcr 1 age lwclvc i- TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF DREXEL INSTITUTE N celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of, Drexel Institute, our thoughts naturally travel back to the beginning--the beginning that has meant so much to so many-and it is impossible to do this without knowing some- thing of Anthony Drexel, the founder of the Institute. A Simple, honest citizen, intent on service to the community, interested in his family, his work, and his associates, he eagerly put forth his time and his energy to leave behind him some effective means to aid the common good. Often linked with his name was the name of Mr. George W. Childs of the Publi: Ledger, and the picture of their daily walk together has become 21 part of the city's history. Such constant contact of two powerful minds could not but produce remarkable effects upon Philadelphia, and on the community in general. Among the greatest of these is Drexel Institute. This monument left behind by a great citizen, brought into being through the constant thought and discussion of two friends, shows much Of the spirit of its founder. Mr. Drexel had comparatively slight social interests. His direct interests were largely con- fined to his home circle, to his business, and to his associates and employees, but his indirect interests went out to the whole community. Deeply interested in art and music, he believed in technical education with a cultural background, and included in the plans for a technical school, a great organ, 21 picture gallery, and a museum. Mr. Childs, always in- terested in the broadest aspects of education, added his Splendid gifts ofmanuscripts, ivories, prints and curios. Above all was Mr. Drexel's spirit of friendliness, and many an anec- dote could be told of the people whom he has helped and encouraged. Thus a great man's work lives after him and a true man's friendliness outlasts the passing of time. That kindliness of spirit flowered into the desire to create a founda- tion. Gradually the discussions of the friends crystallized into fln interest in educational matters and the two began to make trips of inspection themselves and to send others on such trips. Finally, Drexel Institute was conceived, the land bought, the plans for the building approved, and the work of construction begun. With the beginning of actual construc- tion began the habit of almost daily visits to the Institute which lasted the rest of Mr. Drexel's life, and, when the build- ing was completed, he could be seen standing in the Great Court watching the students as they came into the completed building of his dream, and saying, I want them to lead happy as well as useful lives. Thus was Drexel Institute founded in the year 1891. The dedication ceremonies were held on December 17, 1891, at which James MacAlister, the first President of the In- stitute, presided. The auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity by a representative audience from commercial, professional and scientific circles. The first classes were held in February 1892, and it is interesting to know that Mrs. Hall, Mr. I-Ienwood, and Mr. Ryder were the first ap- pointments on the first Faculty of Drexel Institute with James MacAlister as their adviser and guide. James MacAlister was born in Scotland in 1840. He came to this country about ten years later. Here he received his A.B. from Brown University and later his LI..D. from the Albany Law School. Previous to his afiiliation with Drexel Institute, he was, for several years, Superintendent of Public Schools of Milwaukee, and later the first Superin- tendent of Public Schools of Philadelphia. There are others, too, here only in spirit now, whose influence has been so imprinted upon Drexel's foundation that we shall always feel their presence. Miss Ball, first Sec- retary and Registrar, who had been a power in establishing Pratt'Institute directed this power toward the building up of Drexel, not only as a Registrar, but through her interest in educational matters as well. Miss Kroeger, the first Librarian and Director of the Library School, to whose memory the Faculty dedicated a tablet, which hangs in the Library at the present time, will always be remembered by many who received help and inspiration from her. The Art Department, Page lhirleen directed by Mr. Howard Pyle, a leading artist of the time, was proud to have as students many who have attained recognition in recent years, among whom are Jessie Wilcox Smith and Elizabeth Shippen Green. At the opening of any institution of learning it is always the endeavor to obtain the best representatives in each department of work which the institute offers, and Drexel was surely second to none in her choice of faculty. For twenty years, Drexel pursued its usual course, changing only as the changes in the community made neces- sary slight readjustments, until the year 1913, when Dr. Hollis Godfrey was made President, the second President of the Institute. With Dr. Godfrey came a great progressive spirit which has done so much for Drexel in the past few years. While Dr. Godfrey did not have the opportunity of knowing Mr. Drexel, he knew many of his friends and his close asso- ciates, and from them he has learned much of Mr. Dre-xel's ideals and has made them a part of himself. To these he has added a progressive spirit, a wise initiative, and a wide experi- ence in educational matters, and Drexel is already feeling the results of his readiness to make any changes which will improve the welfare of the Institute as a whole. There are two changes whose importance in Drexel's history warrants their mention. From an educational standpoint the curricula have been greatly improved. Both in the Engineering and Domestic Science and Arts Schools the courses have been extended to four years, making possible the conferring of a degree. Student activities have been encouraged more than ever before by the addition of Runnymede and the smaller athletic fields near the Institute, one of which includes a practice house for the Domestic Science classes. Dr. Godfrey has also made it possible for the students to offer any sug- gestions that they think might better conditions at the In- stitute. He has repeatedly invited both constructive and destructive criticism and these suggestions are given due consideration, and if found practical, are adopted as soon as possible. In this way the students are made to feel that they and their ideas are a live part of the Institute structure and their interest becomes that intrinsic interest for which we strive, that interest which is the basic element of true community and school spirit. A noble past is the best foundation for success in the future, so that we have great hopes, positive hopes of what Drexel's future cannot but be. Twenty-five years are con- sidered young in the life of an institution, but these years have been enough to warrant a future that shall surpass anything done in the past,.a future that will make Drexel, and the memory of Mr. Drexel, an inspiration of service to the educational world. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way ofjudging of the future save by the past.

HE 1917 Class of Domestic Science deem it a privilege to give to Mr. Stratton this page of appreciation for all he has done for us. He has given unceas- ingly of his time, his energy, his sympathy, his enthusiasm-has made ' himself a very part of the Institute and of our life here. As a teacher he has succeeded in infusing life and interest even into such a subject as Chemistry, that grim ogre which haunts us day and night. As Freshmen, we found him a marvel in explaining those unfathomable problems that came to us, as Seniors, he helped us safely over the rough places in Organic Chemistry, never lacking in kindness, courtesy, consideration. He interests, arouses, informs us. And not along the beaten paths of Chemistry alone has he led us, but he has shown us the bigger and finer things-things we will remember long after the ruts in our gray matter, worn deep by the passage of unnumerable carbon atoms, each linked in its own peculiar way to its fellow atoms, have drifted full of other matter and finally disappeared. As he drills us untiringly, day after day, week after week, we realize more fully that the path of a Chemistry teacher is not without its thorns and we only wonder that he does not more often give expression to his amazement at our colossal stupidity and cxclaim It's strange how little some girls know about Chemistry anyway! He is never too busy to help us in our troubles, to listen to our woes, to share our triumphs, and through it all he is big enough to keep his broad tolerance, his fine patience and keen understanding. Mr. Stratton is genial, hearty and inspiring. His cheerful smile constantly radiates sunshine and his very activity awakens the sleepy. Our class has not been alone in recognizing the excellent ability of Mr. Stratton as a teacher. Beginning with this last school year, his position on the Faculty has advanced to that of Senior Instructor. He took his degree of Bachelor of Science from the University of Pennsylvania in june, 1909, coming to Drexel in September of the same year. Beside teaching both day and night classes, he has time left to enjoy a cozy home and a fine young son, Bruce. This seems quite enough for onenman to do, but Mr. Stratton has also been furthering his scientific education, and lh February last received the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry from his Alma Mater, for which we heartily congratulate him. We count it an honor to have had Mr. Stratton for our teacher and friend and long will we remember him for His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and of love.

We can each look back to our first days and weeks here and remember how strangely like square pegs in round holes we felt, and see how gradually our sharp corners were chiselled off, and worn down, and pol- ished smooth until we fitted naturally and easily into place. Then we settled down to strong, steady work with an occasional spurt for exams., followed, perhaps, by a bit of lagging as a reaction. There were days aplenty of hard work, but with days of pleasure scattered amongst them-delightful receptions by Dr. and Mrs. Godfrey and the Seniorsg dances in the Great Court at Christmas and Easter, teas and academic celebrations, and happy, carefree days at Runnymede-all too soon that first year was over. On our return in the fall we were so happy greeting our old friends that we nearly forgot we were Seniors until the wistful eyes of some lonely Freshman made us extend the hand of fellowship. Our second year had much the same round of social activities, affairs enjoyed by all of us. As for our work, it has been.hard -and we are glad it has. Although many times we have complained that it was too SECOND YEAR DOMESTIC SCIENCE UD Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, Onward Ihrough Drexel we go.

If this year has held for us more of responsibility, so also has it offered greater compensation-and not the least of these privileges, and a high privilege it is, is that of knowing our teachers better, of coming into closer touch with them, and of appre- ciating how truly each one of them is work- ing for the good of the Institute. So now, with our Drexel days behind us, we look back and they seem well worth whileg the things we have gained here will help us immeasurably to take our own places in the great world outside our doors. They go! they go! I know that they go, but I know not where they go, But I know that they go toward the best-toward something great. MARJORY EELLS.

I have thought of this thing all evening, While l revcled in osazone- And away from my mind go streaming All the formulaic l have known. Such a nightmare. Oh, it was frightful! A disturber of the peace, I say, It had chains and bonds unrightful For my torture night and day. There it stood in all its glory grim, With its valences all four- Now plainly seen, now fading dim With attractions about them galore. But supposing, Oh, just supposing: 'l'hat from them the veil we had torn- And of bases their true nature disclosing, And acids of their mystery shorn, How Orgfrel Chemistry would be all confusion, And how upset we would be If the bonds lost all their attraction And carbon had a valence of three.

In spacious halls and corridors We pass from day to day, A busy, thinking, working throng Each bent upon his way, By which, he hopes, in future time, To gain a place in life, To meet the every day demand, And enter in the strife. II. How we may gain this end, we find A problem hard to solveg But with heart intent upon our goal, We start with firm resolve. As juniors we work blindly on- lt seems as though we're lost, But with grim determination We get through at any cost. And now, as full-fledged Seniors, While we work from day to day, The way becomes more open, Our tasks as lumps of clayg Which, molded by a master's hand, Our skill increasing fast, Become as real, true pleasures, As we near our goal at last. IV. Could we have reached this height alone? Ah, no, you cannot buy The education, knowledge, truth, Which deeply in it lie. 'Tis this we owe to Drexel And we nevcr can repay, Except to love and cherish Her memory alway. NANCY C. HUN'l'ER T W0 MART YRS ' hz ilze PRACTICE HOUSE '0h, we serve our luncheon today, We hear some Seniors gaily say. I, too, did speak those joyful words, But 'twas before-not afterwards. 'Twas Valentine's Day with hearts of red, For Howers and candles we had favors instead. Our table was all dressed up for fair And assumed a very expectant air. ln the kitchen we surely hustled, The soup into the pot we bustled, Our butter balls we nicely rolled And put in the ice-box to get cold. Our lettuce was washed with utmost care, The fish we fixed just right to cook In a cheesccloth, as it said in the book. Our vegetables were in fancy cuts, Our cakes were iced and strewn with nuts, The muffins were all ready to mix, The ice was frozen stiff as sticks. At twelve o'cloek, right on the dot, The guests arrived. To add to our lot The soup had been burned, But we placed it before them all unconcerned. The salad course had just been served, When out in the kitchen a crash I heard. I dashed to the rescue but-alas! Things had come to a pretty pass. There in the middle of the Hoor Lay the coffee pot we all so adore- The coffee was all over the rug, And there wasn't a grain left in the jug. Then quick as a Hash we grabbed the tea, And brought out tea-cups--a sight to see! Serve tea with dessert? No wonder the guests looked hurt! With our dessert goes another tale- 'Twas one more time that we did fail. Red lemon ice we planned to serve, But, opening the freezer, most lost our nerve- lfor, where we expected to find it red, A violent cerise was seen instead. There wasn't a thing that we could do But serve it in all its gaudy hue. That luncheon we will never forget, Though we think of it with much regretg Still, by these things we live and learn, Draw your own moral-let no soup burn!

Foremost among them is the fact that the principal rooms in the house were furnished by the class. What fun the Domestic Science sections had selecting pots and pans .for the kitchen, to say nothing of preparing and serving luncheons to the members of the Faculty! As the Domestic Science Class actually carries out in deed the meaning of practice it seems to mean more to its members who continually ask, Who has the luncheon today P and an answer to roll call, She's at the practice house, is a familiar sentence to many teachers. The whole community, however, has a deep interest in the work done there, and wishes for its continued success. Page lhirly-nine vw- .jf THE Dksxsl.

Pagefonyfour HISTORY-SECOND YEAR DOMESTIC ARTS CLASS D0n'! wwvy about fliefutnre, The piwrfll is zz!! 111011 lzrzslf' I-llil room grew hotter and hotter, the crowd gave way and then closed in again as one more person left the room with his arms full of books-for it was, as you may have guessed, the Supply Store. Yes, you're all Freshmen, Miss Nelson an- swered the timid question of one very quiet little girl, whose serious eyes looked out from huge shell- rimmed glasses, which, together with a severe hat and suit, gave to her face a most studious expression. This was not unnoticed by two other lfreshmen- friends-who whispered simultaneously, a greasy grind. Next to them was a large girl, bubbling over with life, bending down to murmur some joke to the tiny girl with her. Near them stood a mother and daughter, the mother anxiously watching the joyful anticipation glowing in the face of the girl. Two years later, down in a sunny field back of the shaded orchard, these same six girls, reminiscent as people are who have worked and played together, weathered the same storms, overcome the same obstacles and laughed over the common joke, were looking back over their life here together. Do you remember, inquired one, that first day in the Supply Store? VVhy I thought everyone there was a Senior. I should say we do remember it, and you, too. We bet you were a shark, allright, until we saw you flounder in Chemistry, not even knowing what HQO was. Aus we did know that we felt most superior,', said the friends, who always spoke in chorus. You did seem superior beings until l saw you con- suming nineteen sandwiches apiece at Mrs. Godfrey's tea. How you managed it was quite beyond me. They needed something to sustain them, defended the tiny girl. We had just had our first sewing quiz. But those five-week quizzes weren't a patch on mid- years. For tive days Martha and l crammed. Weld study for two hours, then eat ice cream, then go at it again. One day we made away with a quart of ice cream, two bottles of olives, and a dozen cinnamon buns. All the time we were absolutely sure we wouldn't get through. Oh, yes! You two, exempt in everything, and yet absolutely sure you wouldn't get through! They lapsed into silence. Now and then snatches of songs Hoated over, or another group of girls called to them. One laughing voice brought back the happy memory of their Freshman l.uncheon. How different we all looked that day, no uniforms, and everyone wearing the hat she had made! The whole two years have just flown by. Last fall seems only a few weeks ago. Why, remember getting our Juniors from Miss Cherry? When l called on mine, she wept Pageforry-jiu on my shoulder but, being a dignified Senior, l comforted her appropriately and gave her advice adequate for four girls. Speaking of advice and dignity, will you ever forget the girls walking out of Chemistry lecture, when Mr. l-lenwood was late? That was rare, though supposed to have been attended with dire consequences. The fear ofsome awful consequences certainly moved us to finish our serge dresses. The most awful thing that could have happened would have been the want of a new dress to wear. Those boned waists were something l shall always remember. Why- Now, Nlartha, let's think of all the nice things that have happened. Absolutely the nicest time we girls had was at Thanksgiving when Dr. and Mrs. Godfrey asked us out for luncheon. lt was delightful and you all know how wonderful it is to come into a home when you're away. VVe certainly did appreciate it. Then the Christmas dance was another scrumptious time, and all the organ recitals, and the class luncheon, and the plays, and the- here it was necessary to pause for breath and the girls interrupted. . But our practical teaching! The First day I taught, a woman said she wanted to learn tailoring, but 1 glibly informed her we had l!Ot the special equipment, all the time shivering for fear she would want to know what equipment was needed. Again a silence fell. lt was very still except for the soft summer breeze and the gently waving tall grasses. The time slipped by unheeded, each girl too busy with her thoughts to notice. A call sounded from the house. Quietly they arose and wended their way back, still silent, for each knew what the other was thinking. d MARION SIBLEY. ,S 3 'i Pageforty-.fix CATHERINE Humes ALLISON Bellefonte.

NICHOLS HE members of the Senior Secretarial Class wish to take this opportunity to thank Miss Nichols for her unfailing efforts to make us more than five dollar stenographersf' Not only has she given us many valuable suggestions in regard to our future work, but also has constantly required, both of herself and us, thorough and accurate work. She has been a true teacher in that she taught stenography well, and, in addition, inspired in us the desire to do our best and never to stoop to do a slip-shod or untrue piece of work. We can truly say that any success which may be ours in the future will be largely due to the carefu' training of Miss Nichols, and the high standard of work she has always set. Page fifty-.reven HISTORY-SENIOR SECRETARIAL CLASS HH fall of the year of IQI5 witnessed the entrance into these balls of Art, Science, and lndustry, of this illustrious class. ln numbers We were thirty, now we count but twenty-four, the difference having .ami f-.flfQe5Cil'Sfl'.'flQffi fillf.'lf.i5lfiCiff.. .i..lli2llllf ll'if..lflilil1l'Qirem! ventured forth in quest of success in other fields ofwork. We were all sick- siek with fear, and the world-wide malady of cold feet reigned supreme. Orders to right of us, Orders to left of us, Orders in front of us, Volleyed and thunderedg These made us more afraid, lfor they nothing clearer made, And so we were quite dismayed, Our minds were assunderedf' Sign this, l ill out this, SSO, please, Now go to 220. These, and many more, were the commands given us, and it was- Ours not to reason why, Ours but to do or die, So with prayers rising to the sky Scurried the two-and-a-half dozen. i .fnvn At last we found a resting place in old mo, where desks were assigned to us by a gentleman who gave us palpitation of the heart by shouting I-low? at us. Then we commenced to look each other over. What our thoughts were may never be told. But we soon got acquainted and in the getting perhaps many first opinions were changed, others verified. Meek, quiet, polite, diligent in all lessons, everything, in fact, that promised well for our future greatness, we displayed. Long, will that first week be remembered. Shorthand was the first, and from o a. m. on that morning, when the first mysteries of that art were unfolded to us by Miss Nichols, we have written, read, thought, dreamed, talked, and almost eaten, straight lines and curved ones, curly-cues and pretzel knots, dots, dashes, double lengths and half ones, aboves, ons and belows. Word signs came in their turn. 1,025 of 'em we had, as Joe discovered after a laborious count-and we absorbed them all. Next we tackled typewriting, tackled being used literally to express the idea intended. Here we learned to do something without looking at it, and many were the times when, our fingers failing in their duties and causing mistakes, we cast religion to the winds and addressed the machine zz la cave man. Paper was nothing. Reams of it were discarded as fingers became thumbs when we were writing such elevating literature as-asdfg, hjklg. The eraser was employed only with the use of the utmost caution for fear that the wrath of Miss Baker might descend on our guilty heads. Many a brain C?l would have been blown out in despair had it not been for her, who taught the truth of the adage, Patience is a Virtue. In turn we encountered business law and banking, with Professor Altmaier. Cases that had stumped the Supreme Court of the United States, bothered us nary a wit. And then we had the Major, alias Mr. Clarkson, who alternately glared from above and below the specs on his nose, stilfening us with terror and causing a Huttering of our hearts when he bellowed How? at us. He guided us, or ran on ahead rather, through the devious paths of the labyrinth called bookkeeping. Math., and the art of writing readable English with our arms going in and out of our sleeves at 500 strokes a minute were other specialties of his. To this day the class is divided' on the question: ls an egg a fish or a vegetable? and it is all the result of keeping a lunch room account for about two months. 'l'o Miss Bromley we dofl' our hats, for she brightened the corner where hid psychology. We grew to enjoy this subject, vague as it was at the outset. Many were ' the brilliant remarks that came from the mouths of babes, Pagfffw-few as it were, but head and shoulders above them all stands the plea of one noted. Women, go back to the home. English themes flowed from our pens like water from a hose. Quantity, we had certainly, but when quality is referred to-modesty forbids. Doubt- less the Misses Dalton and Wessels have never since ourentrance mourned the crossing of the Styx by such as Shakespeare, Poe, Emerson, Dr. johnson, etc., for the mere perusal of a masterpiece from our class sufficiently replaced any of these has beens, notable as they may have been. Gym, under Professor Ryder and Miss Cherry, taught us how to live long and love long, and likewise how to dress quickly. Here it was that we de- veloped the necessary H. P. which was required in the second year to keep our hands from being paralyzed when someone said, Ready for dictation, please, or We'll have a speed test today. After we became better acquainted, and could understand each others' vernacular, we elected our class ofiieers. From that time we mixed play with work, although play was rather the minority party in the house. Doggie roasts, with various side dishes, were held at Runnymede. Birth- days of our fellow-classmates were celebrated with the pomp and splendor suitable to such personages. One person so appreciated the honor done him that he permitted his donations to repose in his desk, much to the dismay of the immediate community. After enduring the torture for a reasonable length of time, someone sent an S. O. S. to the Board of Health, and the remains of the festivities were removed. Fashions were also a cause for great comment, the male members of the class bearing the brunt of all attacks. Neckties, suits, hats, shoes, etc., were all viewed by the Board of Censors. And so it went, friends were made, dispositions and peculiarities noted, and general good times had until summer vacation needs must us part. In this vacation some worked, some lived on their incomes, and the rest, following whither their instincts lead, loafed. I In the fall of 1916, we came back to the fold, tanned, fat, refreshed, and sophisticated. No more of the sheepish, scared expressions were to be seen on our countenancesg now there appeared the look of men and women of worldly experience. Soon, ah, too soon, the labor began once more, and we were again plunged into the stream of education which completely inundated us with knowledge. New subjects came like shots from a machine gun. We learned how to make little ones out of big ones from precis writing. We sat as a Board of Censors at the movies, the only drawback of the movies being that they were confined chiefiy to the subject of telephony. Statistics showed us that if you draw pictures instead of writing down columns of figures, you can tie up the explanation of a problem very much better. Miss Nichols hitched us to the plow and therewith began the drive. Ready for dictation, please, became the slogan of 223, and all speed limits were cast to the winds. We learned to tap the ivories in 225 so that they sounded like an artillery bombardment, and we often emerged from a speed test with both arms paralyzed up to the elbows. We shouted, sang, whistled, etceteraed, into the dictaphones to our hearts' desire, and then took a course in barbering the records. And then we had chemistry nomen- clatureg 'nuff' said. To be sure we would be lacking in no degree, Professor Starkey took us to task, and taught us how to run a locomotive. It was some time before we learned the whys and whereforesn of each chug, but finally it penetrated, and we all became first-rate engineers. And now we are near the end ofour sojourn in the Promised Land. Soon we will go forth into the world of business and show what we have learned. Twenty-four of us, there are now, twenty-one daughters and three sons fthe last mentioned being the shining examples of the survival of the fittestnj and when the doors of this institution close behind us in June, wc will scatter hither and thither over the country, for we are from the North, South, East, and West. Many of us will probably never see each other again, but the days of toil and pleasure, fformer should be emphasizedl, we have spent here we'll always remember. And now, in closing, we might say: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCHRN If you need a shorthand expert, Or a typist above par, Or a chemist that is clever, Or someone to fix your car, Or a classy precis writer, That has really got the stuff, Or a telephone operator, That the people cannot bluff, A statistician, cataloger, Or a guy that can proof read, And you know of no such wonder, Capable of such a deed, Let me give you some advice, sir, As it were, from back the scene, Go straight out to good old Drexel, Get a SricaE'rARY '17.

HE Senior Class held a luncheon at The Normandie Hotel on St. Patrick's Day, March '17, 1917. There was quite a large attendance of those who undoubtedly showed their interest and class spirit by their presence. And how glad they were that theyvhad come was expressed by each girl when the program of the afternoon was finished, for the luncheon could not have been more ofa success than it was. lt even excelled the luncheon given there last year! The menu and programs combined, certainly did St. Patrick justice, both in design and color, and as to the menu itself, it was ofthe sort to please everyone, and put us all in Z1 very good humor, ready for .whatever fun might follow. After the toasts, a very clever program was carried out, -a vocal solo, a reading and a solo dance, all of which were ren- dered by talented members of our class. Last on the program, but not least, was a playlet called A Day at Drexel, which, though only a burlesque impersonation of different instructors and their classes, was very realistic and most intresting, if LUNCI-IEON not comical to the extreme. The impersonating of the various characters was so well done that they were immediately recognized, and no explanation was necessary. There was a continuous round of laughter from start to finish of the play. After the play, there was dancing, with music furnished by Miss Dana at the piano, and Miss Adele Weisberger, violinist, who had kindly offered her services, which were more than appreciated by the entire Senior Class, for, as a violinist, she is noted throughout the school. About 5.30 p. m., it was a tired and weary, but happy Senior Class that left The Normandie, feeling that they had spent a very enjoyable afternoon together, and unconsciously, imbuedwith a wealth of that invisible force-Class Spirit. Class spirit wancd anal died away, Until at last there came a day, Good fellowship and love came, too, Yes, came to mc and came to you, And with them, there came, at length, Class spirit, too, renewed in strength.

He has encouraged us, helped, guided and inspired us. ' ln recognition of his great service to us, we, the members of the Normal Manual Training Class, dedicate our section of the Lexerd to Mr. R.

Page seventy-one HISTORY-NORMAL MANUAL TRAINING CLASS'-1917 N September of the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen, we, from the several points of the compass, turned our faces towards The Promised Land -Drexel Institute. At first things seemed strange and new. Our life was not the easy going one that ours had been in High School during the past four years. However, we soon became annexed enough to feel at home in a certain part of the wood shop. Although we may have been great in some ways, we were not great in numbers, so we joined forces with the SeniorlManual Training Class, in order to gain class strength. VVe dubbed ourselves The Manual Nut Trainers. During ourfirst year, in spiteofoursmall number, we were well represented in athletic branches and other student activities. At the beginning of the second term Pat joined our rank and file, bringing to our class his athletic, musical and artistic ability. Needless to say when june rolled around we were all glad of a good long vacation, but most of us, at least, were equally glad to get back in the fall. We began work with the dream of farLolT graduation before us, and soon experienced our first joys as teachers. Many were the tales and trials thereof! . One of the big events of our Senior year was the banquet, given in january 1917, at which Professor Starkey acted as host. lt was a never-to-be-forgotten occasion and will always be looked back upon as one of the red letter days of our life at Drexel. lt was at this time that we adopted our class yell: Rah!

A meeting was called, at which we elected our ofiicersg Rutan was chosen President, Grosser, Vice-I'resident, and Peters, Secretary and Treasurer. We had hardly settled down before the mid-years were upon us, which carried away with them eight members, 1l1T10ng whom were our President and Vice-President, the other unfortunates being, McDevitt, Sullivan, Moore, Browne, Stut, and Donavan. This disaster left us with the duty of filling the vacant ofiiees, Homeyer was elected President and Hartmann, Vice-President. When we returned to the Institute in the fall of IQI5, we found our class, to the amazement of many, to be the same size. Though we had lost four members in the persons of Buckley, Peters, Denny and Wilcox, we had gained an equal number, YVilson, Ilurgey, Dutton, and Mills being voted into the class. XVe were now known as the Second Year of the Lower School, or Secondary Iingineering. , We elected our ofiicersg Homcyer was re-elected President, Parker, Vice-President, and Hartmann, Secretary and Treasurer. The class, however, had not yet reached its final membership for, at the end of the first semester, we lost two more members, Bergey and Rich. Noth- ing daunted, the class maintained its old-time spirit and the second year of our stay at the Institute was brilliantly brought to a close by a banquet, held at the Rittenhouse Hotel. September, IQI6, saw the Hnal onslaught on our ranks, the casualties including Parker and Wilson. I-Iomeyer was re-elected President for the third time, Knisley, Vice-President and Hartmann, Secretary and Treasurer. The end of the first term found us going at full speed, as every man in the class returned, the goal is in sight, we have discarded all surplus weight and we are determined to finish the last lap with banners flying for the honor and glory of Drexel Institute.

From the hills of Delaware County came a youth with a pleasant sunny disposition who was introduced to us as HT. Dillwyn Dutton and who would never let us forget that he came from a farm. His favorite saying is l do not live in the city nor a suburban town like most students. Dutton is quiet and an authority on farming but is also demonstrating his ability as an engineer. We predict a very successful future for him. Wii.i.iAM li. EvANs VVest Chester, Pa. He is a quiet sort of fellow but you always find him with a smile or a mouthful of candy. Dad is a farmer and is always in search of knowledge. He found out all there was to learn in West Chester so he decided Drexel was the place to come for more. When not doing lessons in his spare mo- ments, he can be found trying to do shop work or doping out some new electrical apparatus. Some day we will see Evans chief engineer of West Chester Electrical Company. RAYMOND B. l t:ci,sv Philadelphia Feg came here with two reputations-one for basket ball and one for laziness. He has fulfilled our expectations in both. As a member of the Lower School quintette, he has only to let go of the ball and it will drop into the basket. He has been known to shoot goals with four men from the opposing team hanging to his' arms and legs and the fifth sitting on the rim of the basket. When Feg gets his hands on the ball the referee takes up his place in the center ready to toss the ball. FRANK J. HARTMANN, Jn. Camden, N. J. Reds, the secretary and treasurer of our class, comes from Camden and expects to take up Hn- gineering. From the way he makes the fellows settle up their class dues we have no doubt of his ability to do his work well. He is also a debater. lf you ever hear an argument in our classroom, you can be sure that Hartmann is in it. But he is all right for all that, even if he does deny that he is an Irishman. O'r'ro Homizvaa Trenton. N. J. Homeyer, our class president, hails from Trenton. When he first landed we knew we had a great personage with us. He soon showed his ability as a mathematician and at checkers. 'l'here is undoubtedly a great future before him but we cannot classify it exactly at the present writing. VVARD KNis1.m' Charlestown. S. C. Senator from South Carolina and vice-presi- dent of the class, is an ardent supporter of a greater navy, and, from the many visits he pays to the navy yard, we would not be surprised if some day he should be in command of a canal boat. He leaves us this year to enterVAnnapolis and we wish him every success. Page :evenly-:ight Al.l Rlill lx IA'l I'HIiWh Pleusantvillv, N. J. lfresh from the sand dunes and moscpnito-infested seashore comes our friend Matty. He has done everything, according to what he says, at the Pleasantville power plant, from Firing the boilers to winding of armatures, except the exceedingly difficult operation of throwing over from one engine to another. He has a Fine sense of humor in all cases except one, that is when there is a contribution in drawing room ami he fails to get his candyg then he is just a little pcevcd. This is because his is the end drawing table. Prrrmt J. lVI1l.x.s Philadelphia This noble lad entered Drexel from Phillips lixeter Academy. He possesses the charms which win the maiden's hearts and may be seen with the girls on every occasion. There is one thing about him which we could never explain. Pete is five minutes late every morning and it takes him all day to make them up. Pete has an amiable disposition and is usually found in debates on the side opposing any question. He is a very good chemist and we wish him success. CALVIN V. Nisnnarz l'hiladclphin Nish, commonly known by the title Billy Sunday, found Fox Chase too slow, so with his lvaglin one hand and a Bible in the other, he found the way to Drexel. Nish first thought he would be a musician but gave up this idea and is taking up Engineering. He will probably stick to this a while but will finally become an Evangelist in which calling he will be successful in putting his con- gregation to sleep. FRANK RU'rHEaroaD Cape May. N. J. From the wind-torn, storm-beaten, wave-tossed region of Calle MW, Rutherford migrated to Phila- delphia. We don't quite understand how he got here but the fact remains, he is here. Since his arrival he has become quite used to the customs of civilization and a certain Miss may have had something to do with his training. He drives gg peculiar contraption called a Reo. For all these things he is a good fellow and we wish him every success. liaxuz R. Sci-miarrun Paulsboro, N. J. Schaefler comes from Paulsboro, the region where explosives and munitions flourish. He has worked in many of the munition factories and is quite an authority on this particular business and probably it is from these same factories that he acquired his rather light-hearted, breezy disposition. He is quite.an authority on dynamite and on the latest war moves. We expect sometime to hear of him as head of the Du Pont Power Company. Dutch is very popular with the ladies and is a very graceful dancer, and cannot be anything but successful. 1. Page seventy-nine 5 LAST WlLL , :JS ,x.

No person, however unseeing, could overlook the beauty of this spot. The picturesque old house, the lilac bushes 'covered with blooms, the wonderful trees and sloping green mirrored in the lake, form a pleasing picture. Runnymede is much used by the students. lt is a part of the Institute and has its effect on every student. To know a person you must play with him, so come out to Runnymede on the first sport day in the fall. It is a get acquainted party for the upper and lower classmen. It is the proud duty of the Seniors to show Runnymede to the Freshmen. Tennis, archery and jumping, relay, potato, Hy paper, obstacle and peanut races on land, and candle' and tub races on the lake give individuals a chance to show their prowess, while basket ball and hockey are the organized sports. Besides enjoying the class sport days, many students spend Saturday afternoons at Runnymede. Alliwinter Runnymede lies dormant, but the student who strays there some snowy afternoon finds his reward, for the place is beautiful when the grounds are covered with dazzling white and the trees, encrusted and bending with snow, form archways over the winding walks. Spring brings new life to Runnymede. Throngs of students gather on the sport days to play again, while on the final sport day the whole Institute assembles. The young men have base ball, races and jumping, where each strives to break a record. The young women play the basket ball game for the silver cup, won in 1916 by the Freshman Do- mestic Science and Arts, and which they hope to keep in 1917. In May 1916, the Freshman Domestic Science and Arts entertained the Senior Domestic Science and Arts at a May party. A May pole was erected on the green by the lake. Here two May pole dances were given by the Freshmen. All enjoyed the afternoon strolling around the lake or to the refreshment booth. On Class Day, each Class has its final festivities at Runny- mede. In 1916 As You Like lt was given by the Ben Greet Players. No better setting could have been selected. One forgot himself and thought he was in the Forest of Arden, so realistic was it. So here's to Runnymede, that ideal spot, in which we have spent so many pleasant hours. May each class come to know and to love it as does the Class of 1917. HELEN RAuc111sNs'rE1N. Page eiglzly-two SOPI-IOMORE CLASS--DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND ARTS V1ol.E1' A. CARTUN MAY lil.

We five have taken up that pleasant burden and are trying, to the best of our ability, to bear it honorably, for, although few in number, we are sure that there is no class stronger in spirit and loyalty to Drexel than the Class of 1919.

These boats, the Freshman Class, weighed anchor at the old home ports, and assayed the seas in a difierent clime. Every type of boat was there from the light canoe, skimming along on the surface, to the mighty ocean linerg from the gay yacht, inclined to a life of pleasure, to the freighter eager to fill its hold with a good, valuable cargo. Some of the boats have found the cargoes too heavy, and the treasures not what they had expected, so fourteen of the little fleet turned their prows homeward. And what are a few of the things that have impressed this incoming class? ' Probably none of us will ever forget our first day, the day of reg- istration, when we stood in long lines, looking upon a crowd of unfamiliar faces, wondering if ever we could call any of them our friends and hail them as joyously as the old students are greeting each other. We soon found, by daily association in our classes, those kindred spirits whose interests seemed linked with ours, and from them beautiful friendships have developed. lt has been a rare privi- lege for us to have entered at this time, to take part in the academic celebrations commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the found- ing of Drexel Institute, and to hoard away among the treasures for our cargo the most instructive addresses by men famous in their lines of work-in college, law and medicine. In a social way, the reception by the President and Mrs. Godfrey, and the tea given hy the Seniors to the Freshmen, both proved most enjoyable and aided greatly in developing the Drexel Spirit for which we are all working. The friendliness of the older girls did much toward relieving the loneliness of girls away from home for the first time. It was a great pleasure to the Freshmen to be introduced to Run- nymede and to spend a few hours each week out in the fresh country air indulging in exhilerating sports--tennis, hockey, basket ball and archery, or in roaming around the spacious grounds. To those whose homes are in the country, these sport days came as a visit from an old friend, for after the smoke and dust of the city, the hours spent in the big out-of- doors, away from all bustle and hurry, were ideal. To those who live in the city the change was just as welcome, for who does not love to breathe the clear, pure air and drink from the cooling spring? But with all the pleasures of school life comes the work, for that is our prime object here, to store up that fund of knowledge and experience that will form the basis of our future work. Our boats are not yet laden but we are daily adding to our cargo and hope that when the day comes for sailing forth from our Drexel harbor, we shall have our holds filled with treasures to be disbursed for the benefit of mankind.

Page eightyzfour -I HISTORY OF FRESHMAN SECRETARIAL CLASS I-IE Freshman Secretarials are organized with Martha Anderson as President, and Priscilla Ordway as Secretary and Treasurer. President and Mrs. Godfrey started the social events of the year by giving a delightful tea and dance. A few weeks later a much enjoyed reception was given in the Picture Gallery by the Seniors in honor of the Freshmen. In Novem- ber, the Senior Secretarial Class had a very delightful camp- Hre supper at Runnymede for us. The class has two clever basket ball players, Ruth Fleck and Dorothy Fryburger, and a popular violinist, Adele VVeis- berger. A few of the other members have won a good repu- tation in bookkeeping, and some of the others are doing well in amanuensis. Aside from falling afoul of the Faculty, because we were slightly noisy, our class life has gone along very smoothly and quietly. The outstanding features of our class are the general loyalty of its members, and their willingness to do anything in their power for each other or other people. P. GIFFORD.

We introduced the wearing of caps to the incoming Freshmen. To our sorrow they humbly submitted. We were looking forward to a good time with the Freshies, but were disap- pointed. We didn't have one chance to hit those Freshies. We defeated the Seniors in basket ball, and also won the cup for the second time at Runnymede. The lfreshmen fell victims to ns in a foot- ball game which proved interesting to all. Our class was represented on the debating team, baseball, basket ball and track. ln the fall ol' 1916 we again assembled with fifty per cent. of the class remaining. In other words, the process of disintegration was applied to the class by the Faculty. We hope that they have eliminated all vari- ables. We supervised the Freshmen- Sophomore contest at Runnymede, acting as judges. A new member was added to our class, Ted Azar. Azar immediately joined the Order of Roughhousen and is well-known for the young drug store in his locker. livery junior has sampled Azar's Toilet Water. Several members of our class helped to frame anew constitution for the Athletic Association. A. D. Larkin was elected president of the Association. Our trip to New York after the Christmas holidays proved a great success and will not be forgotten by any of us.

Asmrs, Class lli.vmri1m . Page riglzty-.trven SOPHOMORE ENGINEERS-THE CLASS OF 1919 UST a year and three quarters ago, the walls of Drexel Institute first sheltered a group of innocent Freshmen, constituting the embryo of the Class of 1919. A very miserable group of fiedglings it was, too. By the actions of the upper classmen, we were as welcome here as is a cold shower to a cat. What a contrast! What a humiliation! Only three short months before, we were the idols of the world, or so it seemed to us. How each of us had condescendingly bowed to the friends who wished us success for the commencement of the new life. Each of us felt as if he were the hub of the universe. The swelling of the head had been reduced during the summer, and now had to be further reduced in order to wear the stingy, the insignia of the Freshman, symbolizing serfdom and insignificance. ' However, as time wore on, we accustomed ourselves to our new life, and the upper classmen somehow proved them- selves not to be such ogres as they had at first appeared, although we still were considered of a lower order than they. During the year, the class lost only a few of its members, on the other hand, we gained several new members, so that we are now as numerous as we originally were. Now we are no longer Freshmen and can walk on the same level as the upper classmen, and what is more, can dominate and tyrannize the poor men of the Class of 1920. Also, we have shown ourselves to be far ahead of our time by the publication of a daily paper-The Daily Nui. This organ deals with the fundamentals of the college life of every student and expresses it in a version intelligible to the average American. So, with two more years in which to show our wonderful ability, we feel as though the hand of Providence was leading us to the end of a most brilliant college career. CARL F. IDUFFNER, FRANCIS F. Durriiarn. Page cighly-eight HISTORY OF FRESHMAN ENGINEERING CLASS HERE is a saying, Happy is the people that has no history. This is known to be true in two cases at least, that of the people of the reign of Antonius Pius, who made no history of note, and that of the present class of Freshmen Engineers. Our first year has been happy, but without any important event. However, here is the record so far made by the Class of 1920: Several weeks after the opening of school in September, a meeting was held to elect officers. Green was chosen Presi- dent by a large majority, and Judy, Vice-President. Bonner was made Athletic Representative, and Boyer, Secretary. There was the usual confusion of study and work, along with many pleasant days at Runnymede. The first day, October third, is remembered by the fight, when the Sophs, due to previous experience, beat the Freshmen by a few points. Our men put up a plucky battle, and credit must be given them for their showing. The last sport day was given to the tussle over the pig-skin. The result was disappointing to us, for again we were defeated by the Sophs, but only because the time keeper added six minutes to the time allowance. Basket ball and Physics Lab. reports next required our attention. The former is much more pleasant to our sight than the latter, which speaks for itself. We have succeeded in turning out a fast little team, with the help of Mr. Shreiber of the Chemistry Department. So far the team has won every inter-class game, and lost only one of the outside matches. Special mention must be made of two, Radcliffe and Probasco, who were picked for the 'varsity. The days passed so quickly that mid-years were soon upon us. Many hoped for exemptions, and a large number were not disappointed. Quite a record was made because everyone in the class passed the examinations. We have had many pleasant experiences through our first year together, and our wish is that we may be a united class through our remaining three years at Drexel. J. C. PANCOAST.

It is the established custom now to grant on this day Deturs and Honorable Mentions to students who have done successful and earnest work during the year. Detur is a Latin word, meaning let it be given and a detur is a set of books given to meritorious students in 1-larvard University. This idea, originating at Harvard, Dr. Godfrey has transplanted to Drexel Institute with enlarged meaning. Not only for successful and excellent work done is honor bestowed but for usefulness and service to the Institute. Could the Founder's vision have penetrated the future and spanned these twenty-five years, he would surely see 0' 4' .1 X 1 fl? I ,. N2 that his dream had come true. His wish that the students should lead happy as well as useful lives has become a reality on this day. Those who have not yet completed their work, look forward to days yet to come which shall be filled with happy useful service. Those who are about to leave Drexel ln- stitute look back over days in which they thought rightly, worked hard and lived and worked co-operatively with other people. , For 'tis Drexel, fair Drexel, That has made us what we are.

Page IIflIt'Q'-0216 flfffp .iffc B SE BAJJQ Hll llase Ball Team started the season handicapped through the graduation of all but four of last season's team, these four being two pitchers and two catchers. This necessitated the building of practically an entire new team. It is unfortunate that the team has to be selected from eighteen to twenty men, only this number having reported as candidates for positions. Through the ef'l'orts of Manager Wilhelm, a strong schedule has been arranged, including games with Georgetown, I-lamilton, Holy Cross, Villa Nova and Ursinus. The infield, consisting of Mercer, captain, third base, Ratcliffe, short stop, Slater, second base, and Wright, first base, shows promise of power on the defense, but is a trifle weak on the offense. The outfield is far from the representative strength of a Drexel outfield, and will require considerable thought and hard work to reach any degree of perfection. The first game of the season against Ursinus, developed several glaring weaknesses, but also several promising features. The pitching of Watkins and the work around second by Slater were very encouraging, to say the least, both of these men played a steady get there brand of ball. With a filffe support and encouragement from the student body, the season may be made fairly successful. The class of teams met this year should spur the student body to an appreciation of their position in the collegiate world of sport and bring them out in force to cheer and encourage their representatives.

CAl.HoUN, Captain Ma. 111. l.. l.ucAs, Cozzrh l-lli main athletic attraction of the fall and winter months at Urexel is basket ball. About a month after the opening of the term, the candidates started practice. Coach l,ucas had only one 'varsity man and two substitutes from the previous year to build a new team, namely, Calhoun, Blessing, and Osmun, but with constant endeavor he developed the following team: lforwards, Ratclifle, Mahan, Guards, Calhoun, Blessing, Center, Probascog Substitutes, l.arkin, Osmun, Watkin, Pearson. On account ofa new ruling this year, Drexel can only compete against recognized colleges in athletic sports. This means that better teams must be developed to stand up against these stronger opponents, but, in addition to this, there will be four years to develop a milll, compared to three in years gone by, because the course has been changed to a four-year course. WVith this in mind, and the fact that practically a new team had to be constructed, Coach Lucas deserves a great deal of credit for the form the basket ball team showed in the last few games ofthe season. Page ninely-lb Th' ,, TENNIS HILOSOPHERS tell us practice makes perfectf' With this thought, the management ofthe Tennis Team began spring practice early in February. Mr. Ryder per- mitted the gym. to be turned into an impromptu tennis court, and on Saturday mornings from IO to 12, the candidates have been practicing. The coach, Mr. Wright, has been lending his assistance in securing the best possible results from this indoor workout. The outdoor work is being looked forward to eagerly. Three of last years' men are still in school, Osmun, Deppisch and Windisch. With several promising Freshmen to pick from, the prospects for a successful season are bright. Windisch is this year's Captain and Manager and has tried to arrange an interesting schedule. The first match is with the School of Pedagogy, on April 14th. On the 28th of April the team plays Ursinus, the return match to be played on May 12th. On May 19th, the New York City College plays Drexel, at Philadelphia, and on the 26th, Drexel travels to New York. Delaware State College and Swarthmore' were on last year's schedule and will prob- ably be played again this year. ln later years tennis has been given a place of promi- nence in the sporting world, and is being recognized every- where as one of the cleanest and most interesting athletic activities and we have worked hard to carry out this idea. . H. A. WINmscH. J I nge ninerytfour TRACK N keeping with the new athletic policy, meets have been arranged, as far as possible, with institutions of collegiate standing. Not having a full track schedule for several years it has been extremely difiicult to schedule the meets that are now listed. Especially is this true for meets away from home. Furthermore, it was necessary to accept certain inconvenient dates or none at all. Under these adverse conditions, Manager Shafer must be given credit for his integrity in accom- plishing what he has. Another disadvantage is the lack of training facilities. Training will have to be done on the West Lot and at Runnymede. This year's team will make the best of conditions with the know- ledge that next year they will be vastly improved.

Page ninelyfvc '1 THE FENCING Cl .UB HR Fencing Club was started about November 1, 1916. The Club was popular at the start and a good many students joined. The Club made wonderful progress after the second week of its existence and the enrollment was doubled with amazing rapidity. Unusual enthusiasm has been given the sport this year. Never before has such interest been taken in the Fencing Club. Meetings are held every Friday from l'2.3O to 1 p. m. For the first few weeks lessons of instruction were given by Professor Ryder, who has shown his interest by sacrificing his noon hour that the Club might progress. Later, bouts were held according to schedule, and a record kept of each member. Near the end of the second term the Club will hold its championship bouts, the winner receiving a pair of new foils. Each member has enjoyed every minute of the time devoted to the sport. The Club will continue next year and a large membership is expected. Gao. M. Vlcxsks, 319, President.

This Association is to aid in opening East Lot for the development of certain track sports during the noon hour as soon as the weather permits. At the close of the basket ball season, it is for us to decide who shall receive the ITS as the result of good work in basket ball throughout the year.

As a result of the game the contest was concluded with the presentation of the cup to the champion team and the award of D's to the members of this team, and three others, Doris Church, Mary Quinlan, Katherine Schultz. Only by the fine coaching of Miss Hench was this victory won. Page ninegv-:even GIRLS' GYM MEET I N Ifriday afternoon of March goth, the Girls' Gym Meet was held in the gymnasium. There was a good line up of representative gym stars from all the classes. The judges included Mclntyre, Miss Stewart, Miss Hench and Mrs. Rambusch, together with several authorities from outside the lnstitute who were kind enough to serve. Miss Cherry conducted the meet with her usual vim and precision. The opening event was a marching drill in which all our girls displayed a great deal of true energetic spirit. An interesting exhibition of apparatus work followed, including the swing jump, rope ladder climbing, hand traveling and various vaulting exercises. The honors were taken by the Senior Domestic Science Class, with a record of seventy-eight points, twenty-one of which were won by Louise Powers, who took the cup by her c'ean-cut precision in the marching event. Second place and a beautiful Drexel pennant were won by Helen Rauchenstein also of the Senior Domestic Science Class, with nineteen points for the ease and agility with which she did the apparatus work. Blanche Prentice, of the Freshman Domestic Science and Arts Class with third place, and 'Helen lfry of the Senior Domestic Science Class, were each presented with a Drexel pennant. These received special recognition, but throughout the whole class there were many ribbons-blue, red and white- which did their part in giving final honors to the Domestic Science Class of 1917.

But the handmaidens of Good Fellowship took up their mistress' cause and floated ' out over earth seeking a work worthy of her. Day after day, in a great building, lonely maidens from the North passed to and fro, neither recognizing nor know- ing one another. Ah! the handmaidens exclaimed, here is a work worthy of our Goddess. ' The next day the smiling maidens summoned the God- desses of Inspiration, of Hope, and of Future Attainment to hold a conference with their now busy mistress. Good Fellowship decreed that these nineteen lonely maidens of New England should join hands and serve her faithfully. inspiration decreed that her handmaidens should sow the seeds of Good Fellowship in this blessed circle. Hope decreed that there should shine upon them the three guiding stars of noble helpfulness, of divine compan- ionship, and of sublime loyalty. Future Attainment decreed that her master gardener should prepare worthy seed to be sown in this blessed group when the time was ripe ................ and thus it came about. i ,U Page one hundred and twelve Ocronsa 3. 5.

There are three distinct Alumni Associations-the Domes- tic Science and Arts, the Engineering, and the Secretarial, Each of these has its own officers and its own treasury, and is entirely independent of the others. Over these three asso- ciations, and acting as a governing body, as it were, is the Associated Alumni. Members belonging to any of the three associations are automatically members of the Associated Alumni. Each of the three associations sends to the Asso- ciated body five delegates, from whom ofiicers are chosen. This Associated Alumni acts upon and arranges matters aPr'ecting the entire Alumni in general, such as, for instance, the annual dinner in June. The Alumni Association holds that all graduates of Drexel are Alumni, but considers as Active Alumni only those paying dues, and extends privileges and invitations to vario11s events only to those persons. The privileges granted active members of the Alumni- that is, members of one of the three associations and paying dues, are continually being broadened and extended. A membership card is issued entitling the holder to the use of Runnymede during the summer months. Also the Drexel Institute Bulletin is mailed to all members. Teas and lunch- eons for the Domestic Science and Arts, smokers and dinners for the Engineering, and receptions and entertainments for the Secretarial Alumni are held from time to time. These are annually becoming more frequent and popular. Everything possible is done to maintain relationships between the Alumni and Drexel. It is the desire of the ofiicers that every graduate join the Alumni Association as an active member, and it now remains for the Class of 1917 to make a record in this respect. Good luck, 1917! L S.

EARLY every man, after he has been out of school ten or a dozen years, begins to I wonder why he did not save any of his money in the early days before he had a family of his own to support. Wasnlt the responsibility partly on the father, too? When the faculty hands the boy his diploma, the father should hand him a 20 payment life policy and make him keep it up thereafter He will thank Dad in years to come I thought Father was an old fogey said a man who has been around the world several times and done many interestrng things, when he made the first payment on a +5000 policy and then gave the policy to me and told me I wouldn t save if I dldn t do it this way But I kept those payments up, and, now they are all made, I have a clear estate of 155000, on which I can borrow about 'V7000 if I need to And that s all I have got Dad was right' Wlmt will cost you 'B32 if you begin at forty costs only 'b21 when you are twenty That s another reason Better mention thls in your next letter home II-IE TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY IIARII ORD CONNI CIILU1 'I f xl-j'0j5 3 10111 bl 39003 1 1ldSpl X4j5 .
