Clinton, New Ycmrlk i - i Y FOREWORD ITH TIllS, the seventy-eighth i s s u e, the I'IAMIL'1'0NIAN becomes for the time being a senior annual. ff combination of circumstances, mainly' financial, brought about this situation. However, we of the Class of 1936 did not wish to leave Haniilton without some record of our enjoyable four years spent on the Hill, and we did not wan! to be the class to discontinue the custom of pub- lishing a year book. We who have had the task of getting this book out can make no pretensions to originality or radi- cal changes. Hamilton's traditions extend to her publications and the HAMIL'l'ONIAN is no excep- tion. lVe have followed the custom of the past in most departments, limiting our changes to those of makeup and arrangement of material. life have tried to include all worthwhile things and we hope that nothing essential has been omitted. The main reason for the conventional book is the small bud- get on which HAMILTONIAN staffs must operate. lVe do believe that the book, iu spite of its short- comings, does succeed in its main purpose, that of providing a record, both photographic and typo- graphic, of the Class of 1936. For a number of years the value of annuals has been ti debatable question but 'we believe they do have some worth to the Hamilton graduate. lVe would like to see the HAMILTONIAN reestab- lished as a junior annual but that problem rests with the lower classes. We have at least kept the tradition of a HAMILTONIAN alive and we hope that others will see fit to follow the example of their predecessors. lVith this we offer you the 1936 HAMILTONIAN.

So spoke Catullus centuries ago and so we speak now. Ours is not a difficult task. For twenty-five years Hamilton men have known and loved this man. During that time he has kept alive and instilled the spirit of Horace, Catullus, and Virgil into the hearts and minds of Hamiltonls undergraduates. He has done more than his share to carry on the classical tradition which is one of the dearer things to most Hamilton men. He is scholar, teacher, and friend, but loved most of all as a friend. lt is with deepest pleasure that we dedicate this book to Cleveland King Chase.

At the end of these four years, we see that, after all, time is merely relative, measured not by days, but by events. Besides this idea, many other ideas have been cast aside, have undergone changes, or have had their inception while we have been in college. Proximity to our own time distorts our perspective and hinders us from Writing, now, a history of the class of 1936. Likewise a history written 50 years hence of our sojourn here would doubtless lose all pro- portion by its tendency to become sentimental. Some mention, however, should be made of events which seem more or less outstanding to us as we leave our alma mater. First, we are the largest class ever to leave Hamilton-if we may call that a distinction. ln addition to ordinary means such as exams, we have lost two of our members through death during college. Among faculty changes, we have witnessed the passing of Professors Squires, Fitch, and Ibbotson from their years of active teaching to retirement. Death also took Professor Lewis during our stay here. Many changes in rules have been made since our entrance. VVe have seen a Dean's list established, a reduction of daily chapels, and now a liberalization of the curriculum. Most of us heartily endorse these steps as means to furthering the intellectual growth of Hamilton. We didn't see the new gym, but we pass the hope of seeing one on to our successors. Surprisingly little has been said about studies, but then, unfortunately, students don't recall studies as the outstanding events of their stay in col- lege and that is what we set out, though we may have disgressed a bit, to chronicle.

FRANCIS FoLsoM BAKER, E-I1 Buffalo HP'7'CZ7'lH This mild-mannered lad really stepped into the realm of hockeydom this year, when he was selected as one of the goalies on the Olympic team.

DAVID SEELY B URGESS Pawling Dafoe Goose When a freshman, he was regarded as the child prodigy of the class but since then he's grown up and almost looks his age.

A really serious, high-tension Beta Kappa, who takes everything serious and whose shoulders are be- ginning to sag under the load. ALLEN BRIGGS DICTKISRNIAN, AY Auburn fill Dick For some reason or other, Al, though quite a husky lad, is also inclined toward silence. Never- theless, he is a living example of the fact that actions speak louder than words. He has steward- ed the DU social calendar through a successful season, his tastes seemingly coinciding with everyone else's. Page Thirty--Two I'IARVEY MOR'l'ClN D1LLoN, BK Bala-Cynwyd, Pa. !Wort Has a guiding philosophy that always bolsters him up when he fails a quiz or course-even when P.T. becomes a bit strenuous, he always relies on his sacred motto- Some days you can't make a nickel. A true scientist at heart, he revels in experimenting with floor wax. XVILLIAM SPENCER Dole, Xi' Brooklyn Bill Fire-eater The Chi Psi amalgamated good-fellow. Has won many a lusty skirmish with his far-flung battle- cry: Lord, she's scintillating. Vows that Ham- ilton would be the ideal place if sleep were sub- stituted for studies, a new gym for the old, and artificial ice for the Lord's way. LOYD BAR'rLET'r DUNNING, AKE Rochester Moo.ve It is phenomenal that one with such an artistic soul could run a successful laundry business. But he did. It is unbelievable that he could stand Meagher for three years. But he did. Old Moose , it is evident, is a moody, artistically, poetic philosopher. ROBERT J. DURKEE, XXI' Jackson Heights i Du1'k Our petulant Durk lived a whole year in college and knew life in all its vicissitudes. Roomed with Beakes and fell victim to the Gilbert and Sullivan habit. Was converted by the Rev. Basten but still has the knack for being right and wrong at the same time.

Though hindered by porch climbing habits and hampered by love for little children, he attained his Phi Beta key. It's not what you know but whom you know. FRANK BASIL ERACI.1'I'o, JR. Nlount Kisco ffkgclndylf Possessed of an artistic temperament, Sandy spends four-thirds of his time a la Bach. Becomes so enthused tickling the ivories, if we may use that term, that even the bats in Silliman Hall don't phase him. No more of this I thin-you-too- polite stuff, Sandy . Quite an actor, too, and an awful bull-shooter, three. lflA1:1usoN VV1L1',IAM FORIQMAN, ju., AKE Eric, Pa. HBH!!! Another of the clergy-headed Dekes. Just stands and stares and occasionally laughs. Just delights in being waited upon by that indomitable pair, Meagher and Dunning. He and Hickok also seem to know the same fair one at House Parties. l+'1mNK T1-IURLOW FREEMAN, iw Albany Grumpy Red Waa-al, this place is all right. But I don't think too much of it. But, I get along. In other words, Frank is what is sometimes called a cynic. However, he doesn't really mean it. Frank's the man with an awful bark and the bite of a tooth- less wonder.

He blushes the easiest of his brothers and is a constant hearer of Happy Birthday. Harry is one of those few who came to college in FREDERICK BERNARD GOVIQRN Freddie The one half of the Hamilton golf team. Strangely enough, he sees no reason for studying too hard and strangely enough, knocks down the marks without any cunctating.

SAMITEI. AR'l'iIlTR HA1.S'l'El7 Ridgewood, N. Ari I,egge1 ' Art, Last Mile -er, choir boy, and stout defender of the goal standard, decided this year to call on a Utica girl he met as a. freshman. Well, dance out the answer. Willing to tell anyone how to meet governors, big shots, or anyone on choir trips. josmvl-1 GRIER H.fXNl.l, ELS Endicott loc Grie1 ' Butch A stalwart lad who set out to beat Nichols in Biology and did. Is very proud of his high school and wastes no time in so informing the Bingham- ton boys. Quite a Romeo, he slays them from all over Western New York and is now casting about for new fields. tIonN BHNNIQTT HA'rF1121,n, Xilf Utica Johnny Frequently, one is able to ascertain somebody behind a captivating smile. And come to find out, it is Mr. Hatfield's younger son, John. When- ever his confreres run into the Utica arm of the law, they usually call on him and he usually doesn't let the call go unanswered. Page Thirty-Six Ro1sER'r GRIEBEL HAIISER, AY Utica HB0bH HH'aU5I! DU's Contact man with all and everything that goes on in Ute. Worked hard freshman year and then learned the DU technique and has been DU-ing it ever since. Never knows where to turn-Syracuse, Smith, Wells, etc.- ancl so goes via the shortest distance between two points. Joi-IN COLE PIENDISRSON Rom e f0hnny I-Icndyu Utica's wrestling arena used to intrigue Hendy and Coon, but cigars and chewing tobacco have made him a bit more retiring. Chez Henderson has been the Salon of North for three years. Always keeps a can of beans on hand to insure never starving. WALTER ABRAPIAM HENIJIQICKS, JR. Penn Yan HWallU ffdbell Walt is one of those fellows who makes you laugh when he tells you he's a potential clergy- man. Got in the good graces of the Dean fresh- man year by trying to put a bevy of sophomores to flight with the fire hose. Lately has been thriving on Monopoly. BENJAMIN BLAKELY HICKOK, AXA Oneonta Hgennyil Hyergieli fl-BB!! Oneonta's Daily Star and one of Hamilton's lead- ing aesthetes. Took Comp 5-6 and claims Emily Dickinson's laurels. Lambda Chi's five star news- paper man. Chortles with fiendish glee at his own foul puns, though he still doesn't know what a panoe is. Claims a dry shave is the closest. Oh Benjy, if you could only cook! Page Tim M1 Seven CHARLES FREEMAN HII,I,, AY VVestfield, N. J. ' Charley Chuck One DU, who didn't succumb to the dictates of Neergaard.

EARI, LANVRENCI-I HOUSE Reading, Pa. ll-I-larry!!! lflgllngll A barefoot boy with shoes on stood standing in the grass, etc. This is the lively air to which such a glistening gleam is applied to the Com- mons dishes by this stupendous student. But, withal, he has withstood the bantering of all and has garnered an enviable scholarship record. 1 NORM.AN WEBB HOWAIRIJ, ELS Binghamton flN0,,m!l HH!! HSIOOPII Just another Binghamton boy who came to Ham- ilton bathed in innocence and then went Romeo. We'd like to know him better but he spends too much time in New York. Grabbed off several managerships in his spare time and now tries to act important. Debater par excellence, he talks learnedly on the subject of night gowns. ROBERT VVICKS HURD, AND Utica ffdgobff The confidence man of Alpha Delta Phi. One level look from under his dark eyebrows and you are convinced of anything. He debates, argues, and could sell frog's eggs to a tadpole. It would be wine, women, and song for him but he can't sing. Plum Tlm'ty-Eight RICHARD TRASK JAMESON, WY Rohcstcr lfDiCkH It might be said that Dick is the brains of the Sigh U house. He, so to speak, eats up the languages and gives such agile vent to them that at times he is taken for a Frenchman, a German, or an Italian, as the case may be. But Jolly Old England characterizes all his actions. I-ILLNRY PHASE JIZNKS, AM' VVhite Plains Pizte1 ' Until he first climbed this Hill and met Larry Smith, Henry, we understand, was the acme of youthful elegance. But when these two got to- gether, the wanderlust began to fly. And, re- sultantly, at unexpected intervals postcards arrive from some Hof Brau in New York and the Hudson River night boat. He, nevertheless, has a warm spot in his heart for Fifi and France. JEREMY CLAYTON -IIQNKS, ELS Worccstc1', Nlass. Goan Hlllr. Coffee-Ne1't'c.v ferr Teddy's only his cousin but except for looks you'd think they were brothers. The Goon's business ventures started under Ahearn's tute- lage and as near as the Emersonians can calcu- late, Ahearn should come back. He's always go- ing to be on the Dean's list until after examin- ations. T1-uaonomz JENKS, ELS New York l1TeddyIl1ITed!! The only Emersonian who can undergo hardships and still laugh. He fell in love last year and ever since then Cornell has been his destination. The object of his affections first collected pennies in an elephant bank but last spring it was a bowl of goldfish which was her constant atten- tion. Ted has a horrible memory. Page Thi? fy Nmf CARL NEERGAARD JENSEN, AY Greenwich, Conn. Pimp Senator When confronted by the momentous task of briefing the career of such an illustrious impres- sario as that of the aforementioned senator, We are abashed. Nevertheless, Pierp is an ingen- ious conglomeration - the oil of Prex, the political skill of Farley, the romance of Don Juan, all accentuated by a vocabulary surpassing that of Swampy. BYRON ARTHUR JOHNSON, DIR., AKE Rochester Bunny Social Oh, East is East and West is West, but Social knows just what's best. But he has difficulty in choosing between Northampton and Utica. How- ever, it's been clear sailing for the Dekes under Bunny's masterful saber. He even ousted two weary but uninvited lady lodgers from the con- finess of the Deke beds. Business is business. said Bunny. No ifs, ands, or buts. JOHN MICHAEL KIZANIE, AXA Binghamton Mike Johnnie The vanishing man-has a habit of tearing off unexpectedly to Maine or New York-especially around party time. Works summers at the Bing- hamton Insane Asylum to surround himself with the college atmosphere the year round. Wonders how the photographer got that picture opposite. Roomed with Eldridge three years-enough said. EDWARD I..UnLow KEL1.ooo, JR., Xiif Menands ffEdU fllludll It takes just a slight application of spirits and Ed becomes the most talkative gamin at the Chipsi Lodge--and that's going some. Still looks back with longing to the good old days at Albany Academy. But consoles himself by whiffing opposing batsmen in the good old summer time. Page Forty JOHN EDWARD KINGSBURY, AM' Fayetteville Hfohnnyn King The A-D-Apple Pies suddenly awoke about three years ago to the fact that they had a blood- thirsty sophomore in their ranks. It seems that he delights in bodily contact. For from many of the sophomore-freshman frolics, many of the froggies dropped out of the fray, clutching various parts of their anatomy--all the result of King's brutal tactics. Gian.-up NELLIS LAGRANGI3, AY Clinton HGE7'7'yH Barny From a badly battered, but game, scrub, Gerry rose to real backfield talent in his senior year and eventually scampered off with the Fowler award. And now, Gerry has gone DU-ish, sidling hither and yon, but always coming back. Sort of took a dislike to Hare Hauch in January. ARTHUR PAUL LAM, TKE Oriskany KIA PU Uses college as a stopping-off place between Geneva, Syracuse, and Utica. Plans to auction off his phone-number list in June. Drives a pea-green battleship-at least, it smokes like one. Got a medal from the Teke House for getting scarlet fever and them a Week's vacation. Intends to be a preacher. Al,l?RI3I7 WELLS LATHAM, ELS Mineola Lefty A.vhcan Alfie Lefty came to Hamilton with an eye for study but Engasser and Goss soon changed that. Quiet and mouse-like, when not stumbling into ashcans, successfully warded off the Nichols stigma. He flunked Spanish last year so that he could go to summer school and fall in love with a girl- which he did. Page Fm hy One DENNIS JAMES LIVADAS HUGO LEONARD LAUX, AIR., AKE Jamaica 1lLenny7! This man took things seriously until this year, because he brought along with him a kid brother. He claims he is showing his fraternal apprentice what not to do. He also unearthed something with four wheels, which he deigns to call a car but the Dekes have their doubts. IRA DEYO LEFEVRE, -IR., AMD Schenectady fflkell A truly sage individual, whose superiority at certain Bacchanalian rites is unquestioned-even by the incredulous 'Booby. For he has learned. Nevertheless, Ike has a head on his shoulders and, contrary to the usual practice, uses it. Enjoys nightly ski trips along Faculty Row, too. Utica lfliiqjyll Come een, fellooows. Seet down. So they came in and sat down. Whereupon, this chippery B.M.O.C. proceeded to relate of his experiences at Vassar, Skidmore, Albany, and points west. Whereupon, VanAlstine burped, Gatland guffaw- ed, and Livy's bed went hurtling out the window. Apparently, Livy's hospitality wasn't satisfactory. But that's the way with life. ROBERT BRADLEY LORTZ Utica Brad Bob One of the stalwart Gamma Nus. Hails from the WIBX City. Bob is undoubtedly the most i'rooked man in college. Has been hiding his talent, but Smut found in him an able comedian. Ran aground in Perrine's French and Supe's Mexican-Spanish intrigue but, undaunted, has stood up under three years of Morgan, which calls for the proverbial three cheers. Page Forty-Two Room ALFRED LYoNs New York H'R0geU Without a doubt has the biggest pair of feet in college. But shies from putting them to the test of walking on the water. Has read at least one page of every book in the library. If he weren't a good philosopher, he'd be a good biologist. FRANK WRAY MCKEI'1, AXA Cortland Buzz Il-Iac The house party menace-Pierce won't bring a girl unless Buzz has one of his own. Too much self-control-or Scotch canniness-once. Now. love 'em today-tomorrow, oh, well. Goes in for Share our Wealth and The White Man's Burden. Insists on marrying well, for position is everything in life. FR1emaR1cK joHN MEAGLIER, ARE Binghamton Ripper Pimp Fred Jensen concedes him the title of the biggest bull-shooter in college but Ripper only blushes and says After you, Gaston. Also holds the dish-breaking record of the Deke House. In his early days, he was a Skidmore-maniac-but his sister goes there now. R101-1MoNn BARBOUR Mn.i.nAM, AKIG Rochester rIM0Zl.V6,, This, the biggest small man on the campus, has been four years overcoming paralysis of the vocal organs, Nevertheless, has plenty of chatter on the diamond, where he is rated one of the best small college second sackers. He blushes beautifully at the mention of House Party. Page Fm' ty-Three GEQJRGE HENRY NIINOR, JR., AKE Shaker Heights, O. I-Iandy Andy George is one of nature's unexplainable systems.

VVARREN RAY MoN'1'ooMeR, JR., AM' Buffalo .7VIonty Doc Undoubtedly, the most perfect example of what every mother wishes her son were, if it weren't for the fact that he Ad-Libs so much. He's liked by everyone ezgcept himself. When not doing executive jobs, he is cutting some fancy capers with the hockey team or turning in some fine scores with the divot-diggers. EDWARD ALBERT NICHOLS, ELS Brooklyn Nirk Sto0ge Shad0u ' Emerson Ha1l's great conversationalist. When not going into ecstacies over the Coast Guard, he has pounded out some good marks much to Hand's disgust. Coach Winters tagged him Shadow but it took a Greyhound bus driver to cap the climax with Stooge . Pm P Forty-Four Ku14M1'1' JOHN Noun, SAX Jamestown HIiC'7'71lU Religious devotion once lured Kerm southward, but his love for horticulture, especially rose-buds, enticed him back Hamiltonward.

It's too bad, Arch, they don't have Whisker-growing contests in these parts. CHARLES HENRY SEvL:RsoN, XXI' Hank Seve What to say about this chunky cherub from Buffalo baffles one a bit. For all his actions are shrouded in mystery. When not in the arms of Morpheus on one of the Chipsi divans, he is on the go, it is said. But where, no one knows. His summers are spent in the employ of a gas company. Maybe, he's in quest of a leaky gas main.

Kingston Buffalo Romani' LINCOLN SHINN, AKE Point Pleasant, N. ffgobll ffRubefl In the spring, it's first base on the diamond for Bob, in the winter, stardom in basketball: and in the fall, well, his fancy seems to turn to sleep.

Larry Smythe Under the spreading Hamilton grip, the Pitts- field Smithy has stood. Sometimes, he has sat down. But more often has talked, forcing Jensen and Meagher to bow in humility to his endless palaver. Nevertheless, he has won his way into the hearts of both varieties. RAYMOND LAWRENCE SMl'l'll, SAX Douglaston Smitty Ray HIl!Z1'1'yH The aristocrat with the democratic name has finally burst the bond of conservatism. To wit, to Wellesley and the merry-go-round bar of the Copley Plaza, and ten hilarious daze extracting himself. Threatens to publish intimate faculty views as caught by his very candid camera. XVILLARD BUTLER Soifiak, Eff, Pelham Manoi' Bill Will5'i Bill finds it hard to reconcile his calling for the ministry with the experiences of Ham Coll night life-especially in the Rome and Syracuse fields. We cou1dn't doubt, however, that his oratorical powers, all-college-banqueting, and cheerleading proclivities will take him far along the sawdust trail. Page Forty Seven EDWIN I-IINMAN 'FI'IOMAS, TKE Head of the Tekes, captain of cross-country, and junior Phi Beta are but three of the highlights in this serious gent1eman's career. A trifle tem- peramental, he very infrequently stays on the Hill week-ends. Once headed for graduate school, it is now rumored, he has designs on matrimonial school.

NoRMAN 1.1212 SwARToU'1', XXI' Summit, N. Norm Lee One of the New Jersey potatoes in the bumper crop that was shipped to Hamilton. Quite an astute individual, he generally week-ends at VVells and the rest of the time excells at dram- atics. In the spring, his fancy also turns to track where his long legs come in quite handy.

VVe, now, go forth a much more balanced group to step into the places vacated by the seniors. Fate has been rather severe with the Class of 1937 in the matter of numbers. Various circumstances such as transferring to other institutions, finances, the rigors of examinations, and even Death have all contributed their share in diminishing the size of our class. Scholastically, we rank better than any class except the seniors and our Dean's list is of such size to reflect only honor on our members. ln other extra-curricular activities such as athletics and journalism, we have many men in the more important positions. The trustees must think quite a bit of us as a class for they have allowed us to go through our senior year with but one public speaking course. Another year must pass before we can really relate the events which We think the most memorable of our college days, but to date we think that we are a swell class, one of which Hamilton may well be proud.

Scholastically, undoubtedly above the average. Athletically, unques- tionably a rather pleasing array to the roving eyes of the athletic depart- ment as they scan the rather well-riddled panorama. Iournalistically and oratorically, quite a capable organization. As usual, this group leaves sophomoredom branded with the stigma of being lax in enforcing the rigors of freshman tradition upon their younger brothers. Otherwise, their job has been acceptably acquitted. Surviving the back-walking and water-pouring rituals of lfVas Los have been stalwarts, Carmer, Sullivan, YVells, Riddleberger, Eagan, and Nlaterne. In the line of sports, the potentates of '38 boast a goodly assortment of material. Cn the gridiron, Carmer, Sullivan, Wells, Sidle, Torrey, lVlasters, and Materne were outstanding and prophesy a strong eleven next Fall. On the basketball court, Carmer, Sullivan, and Masters also stood out, bolstered by Eagan. Pooley, Jackson, Materne, Gilbert, assure a bright outlook for hockey. In the scholastic line, Messrs. Allen, Ellis, Gibbs, and Putnam have been consistent occupants of High Honor rank. Not far behind with Honor grades have been Nlessrs. Bingenheimer, Cantor, Cronin, De- Courcy, Dedell, deLalla, Deller, Gawehn, Power, Russell, Scott, Torrey, and Tucker. Page Sixty-Five Sophomore Class Roll DAVID GREEN ADAMS, TKE .

Barring molestation by the hand of fate in june, the class will ascend to sophomore rank with an enrollment of 136 and a rumored scholastic distinction slightly above the average. At the helm of this crew of verdant collegians is Williaiii E. Towner, presidentg Elliot Brown, vice-president, and Legare Hole, secretary-treas- urer. Richard H. Farrell is the freshman representative on Honor Court and Executive Council. Naturally, what athletic prowess is vested in this group is a question of the hour. Generally speaking, football and baseball timber looks very promisingg track reinforcements are questionable: hockey possibilities con- solingly good: basketball, fair, providing the Lord blesses the freshman basketeers with some much-needed brawn and altitude over the summer vacationg and the outlook for golf, soccer, fencing and tennis material augurs favorably. Quadrangle, freshman honorary society, has worthy representatives in Andrews, Boyd, Brown, B. T. Bush, Chappell, Cunningham, Dutton, Erickson, Farrell, Hilfinger, L. Hole, Judson, Lovejoy, Palmer, Petri, Roider, Salmela, Snyder, Towner, and Underwood. lVIore recently, the following thirteen were elected to the membership in D.T., sophomore honorary group: Farrel, Salmela, Erickson, L. Hole, Judson, Roider, Towner, Cunningham, Chappell, E. F. Brown, Palmer, Bramley, and I-Iilfinger. Page Seazenfy-Ono Freshman Class Roll RICHARD SAVAGE ALLEN, 245 . . .

Thus it is obvious that member- ship to this organization is more desirable than any honor bestowed upon the undergraduate, with the exception of Phi Beta Kappa. lt is, in fact, the greatest honor of its kind which a senior can attain. lt alone has been able to retain consistently its purpose and ideals since its foundation. lt is not to be wondered then that Pentagon is one of the goals of most undergraduates. The five-sided gold insignia of the honor is symbolic of the devotion shown by its wearer of an unselfish three years of service toward the attainment of the intellectual, athletic, and spiritual aims of the under- graduates for whom he is the spokesman and representative. Shrouded hy secrecy and mystery, Pentagon meets to discuss actions which will better the welfare of the college and its students. Who but the men who have been appointed to this honor because of their leadership, achievement, and past contributions to the good of the college weal, could know what propitious measures should be taken? Nleeting in the soft yellowness of the flickering candlelight of the Kirkland house, filled with the atmosphere of the best traditions of its college, this group perpetuates the spirit of its founder, Samuel Kirkland. Duly, do its five members receive more deference and respect than those of the three other honorary societies. Page Seventy-Eight Top Row: Massoth., Carmer, Gillette Bottom Row: LeF'e'uv'e, Goss, Montgomery, Connor EXECUTIVE COUNCIL T was an unquestionable criterion of its worth when the undergraduates, accepting last year a new constitution for the 'lGeneral Association of Undergraduate Activities of Hamilton College , confidently placed more power than ever before in its Executive Council. This Council is composed of seven members from the three upperclasses. lts duties comprise the administering of the elections of captains, managers and other officers, the awarding of insignias and trophies. The Council has made it a point to bring to the attention of trustees, alumni, and faculty advisors student opinions and desires concerning all undergraduate activity. Nluch action has been accomplished through this medium. All of its actions are, how- ever, subject to the approval of the student body whom it represents. In scope, the power of the Council has been much increased as regards the awarding of letters. lt is its privilege and duty to award the varsity letters and numerals to participants in games on the basis of their merits rather than on the basis of the number of games in which each individual has taken part. Thus, it sagaciously removed the possibility of entering men in games only to enable them to get sufficient credit for a letter. This was its major change. It also eliminated the awarding of any but fresh- man numerals. The Council calls a meeting of the Undergraduate Association three times annually for the discussion of matters under its jurisdiction. lts act- ivities probably cover a wider range and affect more students than the activities of any other College committee. Page Seventy-Nine Top Row: Favrrell, Sidle Bottom Row: Sharpless, Doig, Montgomery, Estabrook HONOR COURT HILE many colleges look with askance at the possible success of an honor system, Hamilton points to its own as one which is above re- proach. There are no secret police selected to strike fear into the student body. Rather than that, an Honor Court is selected which functions with the student body. ln return, the student body is expected to cooperate with the court and report any flagrant abuses of the rules. The jurisdiction of the Honor Court extends to alleged frauds in examinations, in the use of the library, in theme work and Public Speaking. VVhen a case is reported, the accused is allowed the privilege of having his trial carried on publicly or secretly. All decisions are rendered by a five-sixths vote of the COLlI't. Following the approval by the faculty, a report of the penalties is made to the college. For an infraction of rules of the honor system, a student is subject either to suspension or expulsion from college or to having his library privileges withdrawn. The honor system gives the students the privilege of taking examina- tions quite informally, Without necessitating the prying eyes of proctors. Testimony as to its success may be had from the very few cases brought up each year, from the prestige which each Honor Court leaves behind it, and more important still, from the calibre of the representatives chosen to adjudicate in all violations. Page Eighty Top Row: Lam, Pierce, Basten, Day, Connor Bottom Row: Soper, White, Goss, Slvinn, Davies INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL HE Interfraternity Council is a legislative body composed of one rep- resentative of each fraternity and one of the neutral body. It takes as its field of jurisdiction all matters relating to the fraternity group as a whole, such as interfraternity disputes, rushing rules, house party dates, interfraternity sport schedules, fraternity debts, the date of initiation, and selection of faculty advisors. Its manner of working is such that there is general satisfaction with its judgments, as it is directly controlled by the vote of each fraternity man. All matters of discussion are referred by the representatives to their individual houses, Where the majority vote of the fraternity decides its vote in the council. As one of the most truly representative undergraduate bodies on the Hill, the council is an organi- zation of considerable importance and influence in determining the policy of the fraternities as a group and their support of various undertakings. This year the council proved its value in several important discus- sions, such as the proposed change in the rushing system, and the diffi- culty in arranging a date for spring house party. As to rushing, the council voted to preserve the present system, or lack of one, and to send out letters to sub-freshmen making clear to them what to expect during rushing week. To prevent any future dilemmas in deciding the date of house party, the council voted to plan the dates two years in advance. It was through the lnterfraternity Council, also, that money was collected for the Red Cross and band trips, and that the All-College banquet was arranged, before Union game. Page Eighty-One Top Row: Estabrook, Sharpless, Ruhle Bottom Row: Edwards, Massoth, VanLoa'n WAS LOS AS LOS, junior honorary society, is one of the most colorful of Hamil- ton traditions. Founded in 1915 by six members of the Class of 1916, its purposes are to preserve the College traditions, to help supervise the College athletic activities, to act in an advisory capacity to the fresh- men, and to run the freshman-sophomore activities in the fall. Six members of the sophomore class are chosen for the society each hday, irrespective of fraternities, on the basis of general popularity, char- acter, and participation in campus activities. The six members of the preceding year nominate a panel of ten candidates and select the first man. He chooses his successor from the panelg the two choose the third, and so on. As the undergraduates are leaving Chapel some May Monday' morning, the first neophyte is grasped under the arms by the last year's men, rushed down the steps, and placed face downward on the grass. The members run up and down his vertebrae in an intricate pattern, and then gathering over the neophyte in a close circle, chant Was ist los ist nicht eingebundenn, and toss him into the air. The last initiation.used to be embellished by tossing the victim into the fountain. The members possess distinctive hats, charms, and a horseshoe, which latter they pass around among themselves at odd moments. One of the developments of this year in Was Los has been the revival of their cus- tom of wearing peaked hats bearing the name of the society. Page Eighty-Two Top Row: Matcrne, Sidle, Carmer, Wells, Dwyer, Elliot, Button Bottom Row: Torrey, Winkler, Rloldleberger, Pooley, Guhse D. T. T., the sophomore honorary society, is composed of thirteen men ' selected annually from the cream of the freshmen crop by the acting members, who then retire to passive membership. Selection is made on the basis of outstanding work done by the first-year men in their extra- curricular activities. The importance and scope of the work is taken into account in the selection. Hamilton men don't hear very much of D.T. after the initiation, but that occasion itself is a subject for much discussion and a sight that causes much excitement and wild cheers. Every morning after Chapel the boys are put through their paces. They are required to wear little pink bonnets and inflated balloons, have a well-stocked supply of sweets and other food on hand, and transport cute toy wagons in their wander- ings. Being pummeled on the back is nothing to pushing peanuts with the nose, playing Ring Around the Rosy , and trying to climb massive trees. At noon on Saturday of House Party week-end the men present Romeo and Juliet on the Chapel steps. Later at the Tea Dance in the Sigma Phi House they render a comedy play. Efforts this year at conducting a D.T, dance Cwith a girls' bandl thenight of the Union game, proved diverting but not entirely successful because of lack of student support. Page Eigllty-Tllrco Top Row: Lovejoy, Erickson, Bush, Petri, Hilfinger, Palmer, Chappell, Cunningham, Judson, Towner Bottom Row: L. Hole, Roider, Brown, Snyder, Underwood, Salmela QUADRANGLE CLUB HE Quadrangle Club, formed by the Class of 1928 for the purpose of promoting more friendly relations between the members of the freshman delegations, is one of the more recent of the Hill's honorary societies. Twenty members, chosen on the basis of their extra-curricular activ- ities, are elected annually shortly after mid-year examinations. To make the society representative, at least one man from each Hill group is selected. Its purpose, embodying the promotion of a more cooperative spirit among the freshmen, gives the first-year men opportunity to form friend- ships outside their own particular crowds. It also serves as an incentive for the freshmen to enter actively into campus life. The active functions of the organization are few, the most important being that of the newly-elected men tendering a banquet in honor of the outgoing members. A small silver Watch charm is the club's insignia. Page Eighty-Four Top Row: Parrott, Keeney, Allen, Dwyer, Bramley, Canterbury Bottom Row: Beilby, Dunn, Hickok, Yerxa, Halsted, Stockton, Renwzck CHARLATANS HE College dramatic organization, the Charlatans, was founded by Alexander VVoollcott and other members of the Class of 1909. Sev- eral plays are presented each year by this group, composed solely of under- graduates, with Professors Robert B. Rudd and Paul A. Fancher, and lVIrs. Percy Saunders as advisors. An important change in the basis of membership took place this year. Membership formerly depended upon appearance in one major role or in three minor roles or after appropriate work backstage, and members were voted in by the executive council. Now membership in the organization is based solely on the results of tryouts, which are held before each play is to be presented. Some pas- sage from a play is memorized and spoken as a tryout before the executive council, which then selects the characters for the particular play to be presented on the basis of the merit of these performances. Members of the production staff are chosen on the basis of their work alone. New members are voted in by the whole body of Charlatans after nomination by the executive council. Faculty members of the executive council are voted in annually by the group upon nomination by the retiring executive council. Those who are outstanding in productions are awarded Charla- tan keys. The present executive council consists of Professors Fancher and Rudd, Mrs. Saunders, Fendall VV. Yerxa, '37, presiclentg Benjamin B. Hickok, '36, vice-president, and S. Arthur Halsted, '36, secretary. Page Eighty-Five DELTA y SIGMA RHO Livadas, M ineka, Howard ELTA SIGMA RHO is the national honorary forensic fraternity at Hamilton. As the qualifications for attaining this honor are high, the group is naturally small and select. Nlen are chosen usually after two years of participation in intercollegiate debate, and manifestation of in- terest in forensic activities. As in most honorary fraternities, election to the group is not the end in view. Delta Sigma Rho takes an active interest in fostering debates between Hamilton and other institutions. Through the national organi- zation and the societyls publications, the Hamilton chapter can keep in touch with the events of the collegiate forensic world. lVIembership in Delta Sigma Rho is an honor eagerly striven for as it is evidence of one's outstanding ability in the forensic field. Page Eighty-Sin: ,, Professor M 0,7 sh INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE I,IAMlI.TON'S debating squad enjoyed a full season of debates under the tutelage of Professor VVillard B. Nlarsh, with Norman XV. Howard, '36, as manager. For the first time in many years, decision debates were held. The season opened with a home debate against lVliddlebury College November 19, Ordine C. Beakes, Dennis Livadas, and David A. VVhite, jr., representing Hamilton. Un November 26 Rudyard E. Eldridge and Herbert T. Slade debated against New York State Teachers' College. The high point of the season came next, when the annual English debate was held December II, this time against John Royle and C. lvl. Alport lrom Cambridge. The Hamilton men were Norman XV. Howard and Daniel C. Vandermeulen. On February 7 John E. Adamson, jr. and VVilliam Taylor, with Wyilliam E. Read as alternate, met Union College. Un February 21 hflount Holyoke was encountered at South Hadley, with Samuel W. Fader and Norman W. Howard upholding Hamilton's side of the question. On the same day Dennis J. Livadas and Daniel C. Van- dermeulen journeyed to Amherst to meet an Amherst team. On bflarch 5 the University of Buffalo was met by Grdine C. Beakes and Robert T. Hall, with XValter F. Cronin as alternate. Early in April Norman XV. Howard and Glenn G. Sprague met St. Rose College at Albany, and on April 16 a VVashington College team was entertained by a team composed of Edward G. Guy and John F. Jones, with Robert I.. Allen as alternate. An interesting Feature of the season were the debates conducted be- fore men's clubs about the vicinity with teams composed entirely of Hamilton men.

For its work in Huntington, Hudson, and at the Waldo1'f-Astoria in New York City it received exceptional praisesg and equally highly was its broadcast from Rockefeller Center acclaimed. This was the choir's fourth successive broadcast, having appeared on two previous trips under the sponsorship of Alexander Woollcott. Guided by the excellent taste and culture of the director, Professor Fancher, together with his ability to blend voices, the choir has earned a place of supremacy in college choral organizations. The pianissimo tones of the choir, which are usually the most difficult to obtain in such organi- zations, are declared by New York critics to be of a remarkable beauty. Working with such standards as guides, the choir shows its talents in songs chosen from the classical composers Palestrina, Bach, Brahms, and Handel, besides Negro Spirituals. Although the choir has achieved most of its success on its work as a chorus, it has been able to present this year one tenor and two baritone soloists. Kelsey, Heyl, and Wertz varied the well-appointed programs with their solos. The choir undoubtedly does more than any other undergraduate organization to further the interest of outsiders and alumni in Hamilton College and to build up its reputation. This was in every way evidenced by the large attendance and enthusiastic reception of the choir on its concert tour. Page Eighty-Nine Organist Hzclcs BAND HE College Band this year blossomed forth with sixteen additional ' members, bringing its total enrollment to fifty-six, and including six trombones in its front line. lt was the biggest and best band yet turned out on the Hill. No small amount of credit' should go to John Dale, the veteran leader. After playing the sousaphone and drum in his freshman year, John took over the baton. Despite endless hours of practice, he missed the big silver stick four times in his sophomore year as it came whirling down after a toss over the goal posts. ln his junior year he only missed twice, but one toss caused a minor calamity in the trombone section. This year persistent effort was rewarded and John Dale did not drop the stick once. ln addition to his baton wielding, Dale has rearranged most of the college songs for the band. Not only was the musical ability of the organization greater, but the spirit shown by every man was splendid. The band went to the Rochester game on its own cuts, and in addition to musical support, performed vocifer- ously as a cheering section. At the All-College banquet before the Union game, Dale's men whipped the college into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Besides playing at the home football and hockey games, the band will play at the interclass sing and plans to give a concert in the spring. As a tribute to its work, the General Association has decided to award a letter to every member, except freshmen, in addition to the key given to seniors of three years experience. Page Ninety Professor Shute Professor Fanclacr Professor baunclm MUSICAL ART SOCIETY HE Musical Art Society brings to the Hill each year a number of musi- cal artists. Its membership is composed primarily of students and members of the faculty. For a moderate membership fee, the members are entitled to attend all the concerts of one season. The committee which arranges for the different artists is made up of four faculty members and four undergraduates. The present committee includes Professors Shute, Saunders, Fancher, and Morgan for the faculty members and Elihu Root, lll, Warren R. lxflontgomery, E. Kimball Renwick, and C. Russell Phelps for the undergraduates. The first concert of this year was given by the Musical Art Quartet, one of the finest string quartets in the country. The concert consisted of two main portions: Cesar Franck's Quartet in D major and the A minor Quartet of Beethoven. This marked the fourth time that the quartet had appeared on the Hill and their hold on Hamilton audiences is stronger than ever. John Holland, baritone, was the second artist to appear on the Hill this year. His program was divided into four parts and included ltalian pieces, Schubert, modern German pieces, and Dvorak's Zigeunermelo- alien , with Words in English. Especially well received was the VVanderer's Nachtliedn of Schubert. The' third concert was given by the choir and members of the student body. The choir sang selections which they sang on their tOLll'. Frank II. Clark, Jr., '37, rendered a violin concerto with his brother, Kermit J. Clark, '38, as accompanist. Frank B. Eraclito, Jr. played four piano solos. A trio with Professor Shute at the piano, Frank J. Clark, Jr., violin, and John D. Dale, '36, 'cello, played a selection of Schubert. Madeleine Monnier, noted French 'cellist, was the artist at the fourth concert of the year. She had previously toured Europe and America with great success and her concert here was very enjoyable. Page Ninety-One GLEN LANE ORCHESTRA LTHOUGH not oliicially connected with the college, the Hamilton Glen Lane orchestra probably has spread abroad the most rhythmical message to come from this Hilltop. Formed three years ago with the leaders of the present group as a nucleus, the orchestra has achieved con- tinual and ever increasing success from its inception. The leader, John D. Dale, '36, will graduate this year but the organization is sufficiently well established to guarantee its continuance as an active unit next year. As the orchestra is composed entirely of Hamilton undergraduates, they have specialized more in collegiate allairs. They have played many times on the Hill at different functions. Syracuse University and Colgate house parties have heard the music of this group. In other types of work the Glen Lane lads have played the Hotel Utica, the grand ballroom of the Hotel Syracuse and the Unondaga Hotel, also in Syracuse. One of the largest fields for dance music today, that of radio, has been entered with success by the orchestra Which has played over local stations. The unit has many specialty numbers of their own. Perhaps the best evidence of their ability is the fact that five of the group have been engaged to play during the summer on the Holland-American liner Statendam. 'While abroad they intend to play a number of dances in the British lsles and on the Continent. The Hamilton Glen Lane orchestra is one of which Hamilton may be proud and which compares favorably with such other college dance bands such as the Dartmouth Barbary Coast and the Colgate Dons.

Nlembership in the society is based entirely on participation in Hill publication work, on a standard of points earned. Six points are required for membership. To say that membership in Pi Delt means a sanctum from the com- mon world is to beg for unwanted sarcasm from those scalawags who are the bane of journalistsg but to declare that Pi Delt gives a sense of savoir faire or what-not, is to state the truth clearly and forcibly. Completely revamped and determined to carry forward the flag of journalism on our fair campus, Pi Delt at Hamilton College swings into a new stride, and promises next year to see to it that business managers clonlt make any more than enough to buy a new car. The members are determined that journalism shall flourish on the Hill more than ever before Qand to that end it has been hinted that they've even gone so far as to set up new stores with their own money so they can have new advertisers for their publications.j They have all taken a faithful oath to insure: better news, better circulation, better returns, and better Pi Delt banquets. New members inducted into the society on November 22 at a formal initiation banquet include: John VV. Bicknell, Benjamin B. Hickok, Robert R. Barry, Harold Nl. Esty, Jr., and Herbert T. Slade. if Page N inety-Four Top Row: Esty, Hickok, Barry, Henninger, Phelps, Tufts, Slade Bottom Row: Keane, Connor, Eldridge, Conley, Baker, Howard, DeGraff HAMILTON LIFE HAMlI,TON LIFE, the college weekly newspaper, has as its main A purpose the accurate recording of the daily doings of the College and of the persons connected with it. Life, through its large alumni sub- scription, provides one of the main connecting links between these alumni and their alma mater. Life tries to keep the alumni body informed of the activities at Hamilton. I-Iowever, a good proportion of the readers of the paper are the undergraduates, and Life here serves another need, that of keeping united the segregated parts of the undergraduate body. Life attempts to give full publicity to the various undergraduate organizations and sports activ- ities, thus making its readers fully cognizant of the many I-Iamilton activities. In addition to presenting the news, Life, through its editorial and forum departments, reflects and directs student opinion on matters of interest to the college and its immediate world. An outlet is thus provided for the expression of undergraduate 'feelings and convictions. Life thus becomes a leader on the campus as well as a record of achievement. After a long competition, the following men have been appointed to the editorial positions for the coming year: Editor-in-chief, C. Russell Phelpsg Nlanaging Editor, Carlos D. Smithg Carpe Diem Editor, Ralph T. I-Iaasg Exchange Editor, I-Ierbcrt T. Slade, Associate Editors, Williani B. Clark, Jr., Hiram Evans, Lewis B. Greenbaum, Allen C. Rearick, Ir., and John M. Tufts. All are members of the class of IQ37. The business manager is to be Robert R. Barry or I-Iarold M. Esty, Ir., both 737, depending on the winner of the competition between them. Page Ninety-Five Top Row: Montgomery, Hlckok Bottom Row: Keane, Eldridge, Slade FRESHMAN HANDBOOK E devoted one page to these two organizations as they both have some- what the same purpose, that of dispensing information. One of the freshman's first acts is to buy a Handbook and find out the various facts about the institution in which he expects to study for the next four years. In it he finds Hamilton songs, traditions, rules, and all the neces- sary things to make his first few weeks here run along smoother. PRESS BUARD HE other organization, the Press Board, keeps the outside world in- formed about What is happening here on the Hill. They send out stories on athletic activities and give you that write-up in the home-town paper when you make the Dean's list. They are the liaison officers be- tween Hamilton and the press and as such, theirs is an important job. Page Ninety-Six Connor, Bicknell, Eldridge Top Row: Hickok, Lewis, Hands, Linn Bottom Row: Dunning, Cochran, Montgomery CONTINENTAL BECAUSE of considerable uninterest on the part of the student body, it has been increasingly difficult to edit separate publications dissem- inating humor and more serious literature. In order that both of these forms of literary expression may not be lost to the Hill, a little group of determined authors have banded their diverse talents under one head. The editors of the Continental have planned six issues for this year of which three are to appear under the name of the Royal Gaboonn. Two issues of the Gaboon appeared as football issues last fall and the third will probably appear at Spring House Party time. The Continental on the other hand, which made its first appearance as such in December, contains short stories, familiar essays and poems. The board selects the editor-in-chief and his associates. The business manager is selected on a competitive basis. The other positions on the staff are filled according to the number of accepted and published articles contributed by an individual. It appears that the Continental will be strengthened as time goes on. This year a large number of freshmen have been interested enough to contribute articles. David R. Cochran and Loyd B. Dunning are the editors of the magazine. Wa1'1'Cl1 R. lVIontgomery acted as business manager with James A. Hands as art editor. The rest of the staff in- cluded Milton Kaplan, Donald F. Lewis, Benjamin B. Hickok, Henry P. Jenks, Richard T. Jameson, and John G. Linn. Page N inety-Seven Top Row: Johnson, Conley, Jameson, Stockton, Hickok Bottom Row: Eldridge, Nord, Keane, Connor, Smith HAMILTON IAN HE HAMILTQNIAN is the year book of Hamilton College. Previous ' to this issue it had always been a junior class publication. Lack of support forced the staff to abandon any idea of publication last year. Enough support was assured the staff this year to go ahead with the book and this is the result. Perhaps our main departure from the past has been our use of photo- graphs for the pages introducing each section. We have tried to make this effective by using novel photographs. ln the view section we had a new set of pictures taken. Our arrangement differs from past issues but this is one of the few places where we could be original. Our main purpose, that of presenting a record of the Class of 1936 and the college year 1935-36 has ever been kept in mind. To accomplish this photographs and write-ups of all outstanding Hill activities and organi- rations have been included. VVe regret that space and money did not allow us to have a longer feature section. The third and most important change as far as the average student is concerned is the reduction in price. We hope that the 1936 HAMIL- TONIAN meets your approval and be a record worth keeping.

Captain Goss Manager Nichols Page One Hundred FOOTBALL HE 1935 Hamilton football team, led by Captain Harry Goss, climaxed a successful season by a 7-6 win over the Hill's traditional rivals, Union. Four games were won while three were dropped to opponents. The season was opened at home against Buffalo. The Hill aggre- gation showed power and scoring punch in the game when they trounced the Bisons, zo-o. ln the second game the Hill squad journeyed to Geneva to meet Hobart. They played a tight game that was decided by a field goal, scored only in the last few minutes, which gave Hobart a 9-7 victory. House Party and tough breaks combined in the third contest when the Continentals went down to defeat 12-6 at the hands of Oberlin. The squad had better luck on its second road trip when they played an old rival, Rochester. Displaying smoother plays, Hamilton triumphed over the Yellowjackets, I3-O on the River Campus field. The next week Hamilton played host to Swarthmore. ln a close, fast game the Hillmen came out on the long end of a 7-o score. The final trip took the team to Haverford. The jinx which always accompanies Hamilton in this game was again present as the Continentals lost to the l-led and Black, 27-zo in a scoring spree. The most exciting game of the season was the last one, played here against Hamilton's traditional rival, Union. The Hillmen had the con- sistent power needed to win but Union was a constant threat with her passers and broken field runners. The game was tight and even most of the way but Massoth's drop kick provided the margin of victory for Hamilton to win, 7-6. 2,1 gf if s' 4 L- ' 1 55 Page One Hundred One Top Row: Phelps, Meagher, Eisenhardt, Vick, Gelas, Dlckerinan, Ludlum, Halsted, Matthews, Irwin, Tucker, Nichols, Allen, Fowler Bottom Row: Laux, Soper, Elliot, Kingsbury, Capt. deA:e11edo, Sharpless, Getnian, Wager, Millhain SOCCER HE 1935 soccer squad closed a rather unimpressive season, winning ' one game and tying another in seven contests. ln every game but one, the Buff and Blue hooters showed up particularly well on the defense but were woefully lacking when scores meant victories. Although losing the first game to Xvilliams, Hamilton showed up very well. Two overtime periods had to be played before the Purple emerged victorious by a 2-I score. The hillmen again showed its fine defense by holding Cornell, to a I-O score. Both teams played brilliantly but a penalty kick late in the game decided the issue in favor of the Big Red team from Lake Cayuga. ln the third game of the season, Hamilton played to a I-I tie with Colgate. Following this encounter, came the house party game with Cort- land. In order not to upset any precedents, the Buff and Blue bowed by the narrow margin of I-O. This game, however, was one of the best played of the season, but still the necessary scoring punch was lacking. R.P.l. overwhelmed the Hill booters by the lopsided score of 6-I. Figures alone do not tell the story in this game, for poor refereeing and an unusual amount of roughness by the Engineers combined to raise the score. Hamilton's latent power awoke in the Bard encounter and the Hillmen found little trouble in annexing a 3-o victory. ln the final engagement of the season, the scoring punch was again dormant, with Rochester throttling the fighting Hamilton team by a 2-I score. Page One Hundred Two Top Row: Brown, Priestman Bottom Row: Jamieson, McKee, Tufts, Power CROSS-COUNTRY HE 1935 cross-country season closed with one victory in four meets. The team was handicapped by the lack of seasoned runners for the gruelling run. Only Captain Thomas, McKee, and Tufts could boast of any experience. Captain Thomas was the most consistent and outstanding runner of the season. ln the opening meet held at Xvilliamstown, Mass., the strong XVilliams squad easily defeated the Buff and Blue team by the score of 16-39. A new course record was made in this meet. Captain Thomas prevented the winners from having a perfect day by placing fifth in the field of runners. Again on October 26, the Hamilton team fell before Rochester by a 19-36 score. Captain Thomas again led his squad to the finish line, this time finishing second in the group. Nlcliee, Tufts, Jamieson, and Power followed the fifth place Rochester man over the finish line. ln both meets away from home, the team was somewhat handicapped by running on courses much longer than the home course. The lone victory of the season resulted from a 17-38 score over Bard College. The meet was run on the home course. Captain Thomas took first place quite handily. He was followed in by Power, Tufts, and Nlcliee. ln the final home meet, the hill and dalers bowed to a Colgate squad in what proved to be the most interesting run of the season. The final score was 25-3o. Nichols and Hancock of Colgate tied for first while Captain Thomas followed close behind in second place. This season marked the fifteenth in which Hamilton College has had a cross-country squad.

Captain Woodin M anaqer Minor Page One Hundred Four HGCKEY L EITHER the loss of Coach Prettyman and first string goalie Fran Baker to the Olympics, nor the elimination of valuable men through ineligibility prevented this year's Hamilton hockey team from turning in a creditable record. Coach Winters assisted Coach Prettyman early in the season, and directed the Hamiltonians independently after the hockey mentor had sailed for Europe. Colgate visited the Hill for the first game of the season, January 11, and won, 2-I, on a tally by Schlude in an overtime battle. Three days later, a Nlassachusetts State scxtet of high reputation fell before the Buff and Blue onslaught, 5-1, with jack Edwards starring for Hamilton both at defense and in scoring. On January 18, Coach Winters' charges scored a second win in a fast and close game with Nliddlebury, 2-o. Army, though, proved too much for the Continentals in the only road game of the season, between semesters, scoring at will and piling up the excessive point total of 6-2. In the first game of the second half-year, in spite of the loss of two members of the second line and one regular defense man, Hamilton out- played Union in every department of the game. Captain Jack Woodin and Bud Materne played the chief roles in running up a winning score of 7-2. Cornell also proved an unequal match for the Hillmen, on February 15, going down to a 5-2 defeat before a Hamilton offense that clicked smoothly and consistently and a defense that was much improved. In the next two games the Hamilton varsity proceeded to collect the scalps of Syracuse, 6-o, and the alumni, 3-1. The Syracuse squad was very weak, but the defeat of the alumni came as a surprise, especially in View of the disability of jack Woodin and VVarren Nlontgomery. Williams, Hamil- ton's old hockey rival, put an unsuccessful end to an otherwise successful season, February 29, tallying seven goals to Hamilton's two.

Four out of these six games were won here while four also were lost on opponents' courts. The season was opened auspiciously at Troy when the Hillmen scored a 35-31 win over R.P.l. Returning to the Hill for a three-game stand, Hamilton took two of the three games. Queens was beaten 32-22 and Allegheny was trimmed, 36-23. A rangy and fast Rochester quintet took Hamilton's measure, 41-29. On a trip down East the basketballers dropped two close contests. Nliddletown trimmed Hamilton 44-36 in the first game. The game with Union was a heartbreaker to lose as Union won in the last 25 seconds when they sunk the winning basket to triumph, 44-42. Hobart, paced by Spies, took Hamilton 50-42 in the first of a three- game series here. The other two games, however, resulted in Hill vic- tories. Running up a score of 45-27, Hamilton found it easy to take Haverford. Swarthmore also proved an easy foe as the Hill quintet beat them 5o-33. The final three games were road games. Hobart walloped Hamil- ton a second time 50-28 at Geneva. Traveling to Rochester, the Hill team put up a better fight but lost to the Yellowjackets, 35-26. Bard, the last opponent of Hamilton, was no match for the team as they were trounced 35-15.

Captain Avery M auager Pierce TRACK HE track team had a bad season, winning but one meet, losing two, and placing third in a quadrangular meet at Rochester. The squad got off to a good start by beating R.P.l., 77-49. Hamilton took nine firsts, eight seconds, and eight thirds to sew up the meet. ln the broad jump the Hillmen copped all three places. Swartout won two firsts, the broad jump and low hurdles and placed second in the high hurdles. ln the second meet the Hill trackmen suffered a terrific setback when Union administered a lol 2-3 to 24 I-3 drubbing. The superiority of the Garnet was shown when they kept Hamilton from capturing a single first place. ln three events, the shotput, loo yard dash, and mile run, Union scored a slam, taking all three places. The last home meet of the season was lost to Rochester, 74-57. The Hillmen grabbed six firsts in this meet but were unable to place enough men in the other places to turn in a winning score. Handicapped by injur- ies to some of her best men, Hamilton could never overcome Rochester's early lead. To replace the former Conference meet, a quadrangular invitation meet was held at Rochester with Hamilton, Alfred, St. Lawrence, and Rochester competing. Hamilton placed third by scoring 41M points. The best the Hillmen could do was to take one tie for first place, in the high jump and two seconds, in the discus and 220 yard dash. Page One Hundred Nine Hamilton ..... Hamilton Hamilton ......

' Q Captain M illham Manager Soper BASEBALL ARNERING but three victories while dropping five contests, the 1935 baseball team suffered an unfortunate season. The first game which was played away from home showed the effects of little real outdoor practice when Syracuse took the Hillmen into camp by the one sided score of I7-O. Swarthmore was humbled ao-4 as Hamilton showed an amazing burst of batting power in the first home game. Hamilton lost 9-5 to Rochester in the second home game which was closer than the score indicates. Traveling to Rochester for a return game, the Hillmen, behind the brilliant three-hit pitching of Kellogg, pushed over a run in the ninth inning to win 1-o. This game was the best exhibition that the team put on all season. Hamilton played Union here next and suffered defeat, 5-3. The game was close all the way and was a hard one for either team to lose. This defeat was the first of three successive losses. The final trip of the season was disastrous as far as victories were concerned. Playing Trinity, the Hill tossers were topped 5-I by the Con- necticut players. The second game was dropped to Albany State by the close score of 7-6. Picking up from these three setbacks, Hamilton came back to trounce Bard here in the final game of the season, I2-o. The team was marked all season by rather weak hitting in the pinehes and erratic support for its pitchers. Page One Hundred Eleven Brewster, Cunningham, Smith, Hopkins, Capt. Babcock, Carruthf, Rutherford, TENNIS HE tennis team under Captain Babcock had a very successful season, ' ending up with five wins, one tie, and two losses. lnclement weather kept the men from getting much needed preliminary practice. This lack of outdoor practice was evident in the first two meets. Colgate took Hamilton 6-3 and in the second meet the Hillmen bowed to Swarthmore by the same score 6-3. After this the team incurred no more losses. The next two contests resulted in victories for Hamilton. Rochester was taken into camp 6-3 and Union fell by the same score 6-3. Continued outdoor practice gave the team skill which was absent from the first two meets. In a return game with Colgate, the best that the Hill netmen could do was to eke out a 3-3 tie with the Maroon racquet wielders. After this tie the Hillmen settled down and copped their three re- maining games in very decisive fashion. Hamilton downed St. Lawrence 5-I in a very uneven match. ln a return meet with Rochester, the Hill netmen showed their class by trouncing the Yellowjackets by the overwhelm- ing score of 9-o. The last meet of the year was played with Hobart. Here again Hamilton demonstrated its superiority and whipped the Geneva boys 5-1. The record made was a good one and there is little doubt that lack of early practice was the only reason for losing the first two contests. Page One Hundred Twelve Top Row: Capt. R. Govern, Edwards, Urmson, Sabine, Massoth, F. Govern Bottom Row: Kelley, Patton, Vioary GOLF ' I-IE golf season last spring wound up with a fifty-fifty break for the ' Hamilton men, despite the fact that Fred Govern, one of the out- standing players, was unable to participate because of illness, and despite the inclemency of the Clinton weather Cwhich isn't always all it can bc, and is sometimes a great deal morej, which prevented sufficient outdoor practice before the first match. Getting off to a rather inauspicious start, the Hamilton men lost to Syracuse, 2-45 then to Union, 3-6: played a 3-3 tie match with Nliddleburyg and again lost to Union in a return engagement, 3-6. But on lVIay II, with House Party behind them by a good week, the boys were able to concentrate all their efforts on golf, and began by turn- ing in a splendid victory over Rochester, 82-M, on the Yellowjackets' course. ln the return encounter at Clinton they again Won, 8-I. In the final match on May zo with Colgate at Clinton, the Buff and Blue team triumphed over the Maroon, 5-1. There was no spectacular playing all season, but the performances were steady. Captain Dick Govern turned in the best scores for all but the last match, when .lack Sabine broke the course record with his 67. Captain Govern, Sabine, and John Edwards played in each match, while the fourth man was chosen from Wvarren Nlontgomery, Harry Nlas- soth, and Iohn Urmson. lt should be noted that, while this is not a regular subject, the men nevertheless managed to cover the course pretty well. Page One Hundred Thirteen Top Row: Clark, Scott, Basten, Rearick Bottom Row: Johnson, Capt. Dale, Branch, Root FENCING HE fencing team had an unsuccessful season, dropping more meets ' than it won. The Hill swordsmen Won three matches, lost four matches, and scored 29M points in the Intercollegiates at New York. The season was opened away from home when Hamilton journeyed to New York to meet Columbia. A more experienced team took the measure of the Hillmen, 17-10. The second meet was held at home and Hamilton chalked up its first victory at the expense of Buffalo, IO-7. Cornell was the next foe of Hamilton. The Red team Won by a rather close margin of 16-11 in a meet held on the Hill. ln the third home meet Hamilton won its second victory. The opponents of the Hill swordsmen were the Union fencers and Hamilton emerged with a decisive win of ISM-SM. The team took its second road trip south with rather disastrous re- sults as far as wins were concerned. Stopping off at Princeton, the Tiger fencers won by the wide margin of I2-5. Continuing their trip the Hill team Went to Annapolis to engage the Navy swordsmen. Again Hamilton lost and this time the Middies took them by the score of 18-9. The last home match resulted in victory for Hamilton as Colgate was defeated I2-5. The final meet of the season was the lntercollegiates which were held at the Hotel Biltmore in New York. The epee team made the best showing at this meet, scoring 15M of Hamilton's 292 points. Hamilton lived up to its reputation of having a good epee team at this meet. Page One Hundred Fourteen C H E E R L E A D E R S K. Soper, W. Super, Cooley VERY important Hamilton athletic contest is brightened hy the antics of these cheerleaders. No matter how strong a team is, the spirit and enthusiasm of the spectators is an important part in any victory. To engender this enthusiasm among some four hundred lethargic pseudo- sophisticated Hamilton undergraduates is the thankless task of these men. When things are darkest for Hamilton and when the stands have a sullen silence, it is the shouting and contortions of these men that arouse the student's emotions and interest to cheer the team. As well as an ath- lete they must keep their lungs, legs, and arms in condition since theirs is a strenuous task. Many will criticize their Work and fling jihes at them hut all will agree that they are an integral part of any important game. Long prac- ticed in dragging out One more long yell for the team , they deserve a long yell for their efforts to wake up the spectators and to encourage the team on to victory.

Cocl-IRAN THIS Twentieth Century seems to be a self-conscious age, and it is only natural that it should impart this same quality to its artistic creations. Modern literature is one of various, and some- times conflicting, reactions. One of the most notable of these is the reaction against the old conventional language of our literary predecessors. The modern literati cry out against a language that has grown stale, flabby, and expression- less after so many years of pampering. We must have fresh words , they say, words that are vigorous, rough, piercing like red-hot rivets, words that mean something, or we can't express ourselves. These reactionaries, while they all try to be clever, use different methods in achieving their goal. Some prefer to use the same old words, but in new and strik- ing combinations. Others strive to in- ject new words Knew in the sense that they have never before been used in polite literaturel into their language. In this last group, of which Walt Whit- man was perhaps the progenitor, are the writers who try to get their effect through sheer noise and force. They use harsh, fiery, unlovely words, slang and profanity, words raked from the muck of gutters, backhouses, and brothels. They range from animal lustiness, the strong rending of boughs from the fir tree,', to Cults of Crudeness. They range from Carl Sandburg, with lifted head, singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning, to Ezra Pound fin his worst momentsl, merrily singing Goddamnf' and who sweetly warbles: Gentle Jheezus sleek and wild Found disciples tall and hairy Flirting with his red hot Mary. Now hot mamma Magdalene Is doing front page fer the screen, Mit der yittischer Charleston Pband, Mit deryiddischercharles tonband. !! Recently a new member of this rous- ing, lusty crew reared his ugly head in our midst, right here among us in our gentle cloister. In the last issue of the CONTINENTAL, along with the rest of the boogymen who frightened the dear read- ers with their heresys, Loyd Dunning ap- peared with a poem C79 entitled Poet , This poem, as you will remember, starts off with: Poet, push the baked apple from your mind, and ends with: . . . Poet, you must Contrive robuster language For this fast-swallowing place. Well, that sounds fairly reasonable. But let's sample the filling of this dainty sandwich. Here we discover some rather amazing things. A poet, we are told, must tell the acid tales that scorch the tender senses, he must slam the vague, bulky bales of slang-with a boom-in the jam of speech, and, above all, scratch the billowy bare behinds of nuptialsf' Further on he is exhorted to whoop the wow and yow in his still small voice to please and whore, with sumptuous swill, our omniverous senses , and he must not fail to scrape some Greek's aesthetic nose! This is truly enlightening! Now, there are serious implications in the mere fact that these ideas have been expressed at all, so let us consider them for a while. f1'0llllI1lll'Ll on page 1463 Page One Hundred Forty-Three 'l'l--Ili FEMININE SITUATION DEFTLY I-IAN DLED By THEODORE Ji-:NKs THE genus Woman, found in every country, civilized or uncivilized, is so plentiful and easily obtainable that every college man should have at least one of these friendly and playful little pets, and should know and be able to identify the most desirable varieties. The important classes are: Show, Plaything, Home, and Sport. The true blue-ribbon, show type is very rare, and a good specimen of this variety, in which intellect is sacrificed for beauty, has caused many a bad deficit in bank collaterals. The man of moderate means, if tastes and preferences permit, should have one of this species in his collection, a good safe plan is to own her on a community basis with fraternity brothers with the understanding that she may be borrowed at the same time as the house dress suit. The 'plaything type,' the pet of your idle moments, is usually a small, fast- stepping creature, sociable and supple. It is advisable to have a string of these because of possible loss through theft. They should be lavishly entertained and well-fed, and by well-fed I don't mean over-fed.

The connoisseur says that stren- uous exercise is inadvisable, finding that a playful romp once or twice a week is sufficient to keep them in trim physical shape. The 'home type' is mild, temperate, and good natured, with a penchant for cook- ing. In appearance she may have a ten- dency toward plumpness. The man of moderate circumstances finds it a wise investment to spend some of his hard- earned allowance for her entertainment. As a result he has a place to spend Sun- day afternoons, and periods of training or recuperation. The true 'sport type': with her slightly flat feet, strong fore-arm muscles, and capable hands, is very dexterous in man- ipulating a tennis racket, a driver or a bathing suit. She cuts a good figure, can assume a graceful stance at the bar, and makes a good pal to bat around the golf course with. Young men, if you wish to become a true 'woman fancier,' develop your of- fense by devoting five minutes a day be- fore the mirror to your line of patter.

COCHRAN VVhy don't you stay where you belong? I've shut your door, And thrown away the key. You're just a broken snatch of song, A wilted memory. There now, you're gone, And I can wander through my brainways unmolestedg ' Floating on, Sifting effortlessly down Along the winding, cushioned stairways, Lingering on the well-loved landings, Drifting through the halls NVhere time amorphous paces, Sifting ever down, Past visions, facts, and faces, Down and down into the deep Of adumbrating sleep. But there you are again- Slipping from your cell Where I so firmly locked you, Knowing all too well It wouldn't hold you if you wanted to be free. You love it so-this haunting me. But I will stand for it no more! Away!-I flee, Twisting down the corridor, Embracing petty things convulsively. At last, I've left you far behind, And I can drift on to my goal in peace. But there-along the wall: Your eyes, Drawing me into their darkness, Coaxing me with lies. I turn, and stumble down the stair: Your hair, Black, ad flowing in the breath of lilacs. No, no! I hesitate: Your lips, laughing-redness of plum. And then you come, And lay your fingers on my face. Your lifted lips-your breast .... Oh my darling, I . . Dear Lord, have mercy on me! Grant me rest! Page One Hundred Forty-F5170 ON Ti-IE I'lUFFlNG AND PUFFING OF CERTAIN VVQLVES fr-uiitinm-xl from page 1-L31 First, are the moderns justified in say- ing that the literary language, as used by our forerunners, has grown shabby, flaccid, and meaningless? That is a de- batable question, but, for the case in hand, let us assume that it has, as used by our forerunners. What, then, can be done to revivify it? Must we Ucontrive robuster language? I doubt it. Granted that a. number of our best words have lost their force as a result of continual usage, there are still plenty that can be as powerful and vig- orous as ever, if the poet only knows how to use them. Just see what Ezra Pound can do, when he wants to, with our flabby and ineffectual vocabulary: Hell grant soon we hear again the swords' clash! And the shrill neigh of destriers in battle rejoicing, Spiked breast to spiked breast opposing! Better one hour's stour than a year's peace With fat boards, bawds, wine and frail music! Bah! There's no wine like the blood's crimson! Isn't that as un-baked-apple-ish as anyone could desire? It's a lusty warm- ing ballad, and the more we get of them the merrier. But after all, that type of poetry is a very small portion of the whole field, and a rather insignificant portion at that. It is obvious that most of the finer subject matters of poetry canot be handled in a loud, swaggering manner. It would never do to have our Shelleys robustering fjust to out do Mr. Dunning in making up words? their way through odes to skylarks and such. And what of our devotees of the Cult of Crudeness, who want to go the whole hog in robustness, who want to slam the bulky bales of slang , and scratch the billowy bare behinds of nuptials , and scrape some Greek's aesthetic nose? Besides the usual, but none the less im- portant, objections against such forms of literary expression fthat vulgarity is really drab and eventually boring, that slang is ephemeral, that philistinism sug- gests sour grapesl, there is the argu- ment that those who resort to crudeness in language show a decided weakness. It can only be inferred that they can express themselves in no better way. Besides, all this thundering and mud- slinging is highly ineffectual. Twenty Herculeses with as many sledge hammers could not get into a bank vault-unless they knew the combination. All these wowers and yowers are like the immortal wolf who roared, I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down. But the modern mind has had experience with these wolves before, and no longer builds its house out of straw. Yes, the modern mind is a bank vault, and one has to know the combination to get in. All the huffing and puffing in the world is to no avail-subtler methods must be used. When I say you must open the bank vault of the mind, I mean more than making your reader conscious of what you are writingg I mean that you must somehow impress him with what you are saying, make your concepts and ideas pierce the innermost parts of his mind, make your words leave a scar, so that he will feel and remember what fClllltlIllll'll on page 1493 GEORGE'S BARBER SHOP MODERN TAILOR l for Phone 221 Prompt' Effluent Service Prompt and Dependable Scrvicc Page One Hundred Forty-Six THE SMALL COLLEGE IN THE CHANGING VVORLD By DAVID A. WHITE, JR., '36 FROM the midst of world-wide inten- sity and transfiguration, an appeal for help is being sent again and again. To the youth of all nations, the appeal is made. Yet, here, in America, we find that thousands of our young men, the thousands enrolled in our revered small colleges, do not hear the call, do not, in fact, recognize the conditions which prompt it. They are, of course, aware that something is going on , and that the something is affecting their lives. Yet beyond this awareness they seem un- able to go, and in their impotence lies the factor, which, if uncorrected, will prevent the complete accomplishment of the world's purpose. When first recognized, this inability is almost inconceivable but, after some thought, it becomes obvious that a small college of the kind we know today could be nothing more than a center of al- most unthinking conservatism. With a loyalty that has amounted almost to dependence, these schools have been built around the past, holding as sacred every vestige of an outmoded era until the de- mands of financial stability showed the need for a change. Since their accept- ance of the advisability of presenting several courses in the natural sciences, an acceptance which has become an al- FORD'S MARKET Q l.ofwe.vl Prircx on Choice lVc.vtcrn IWULIIS O Phone I9 Clinton most immoral insistence, most of these schools have permitted little change in their curriculum. Today they are shame- fully weak in courses of a social, eco- nomic, and political nature, courses that would offer information which is com- ing, more and more, to be required of men in all classes of work. While limit- ing the opportunities for study in this way, the colleges have become accus- tomed to confining the activities in other fields with rules, suitable to another age, which are the targets for much pointed and picturesque abuse. Yet there has been no change, so how could it be ex- pected that young men, living in an at- mosphere bordering so precariously on the immutable, would be willing to accept the possibility of transformation in the world of whose affairs they are, for the most part, scarcely aware? For, more than being an institution closely attach- ed to the past, the small college is an isolated, self-centered institution. This detachment is symbolic of the curious seclusion into which those connected with the school have fallen. These two conditions, the college's loy- alty to the past and its peculiar isolation, have done much to foster the reaction-ary attitude which is found within its walls. There is, however, a third factor which is probably of more significance than the others and which is nourished by them. It is the fact that the typical student is cast in a conventional mold. He has been taught to conform with certain set principles which, from the time of their conception in the earliest years of our history, have permitted men to do this in this way and this in another, allow- ing no deviation. He has been taught to be a good, normal, healthy boy, and, in order to reach this ideal, he has had to follow the rules of conduct set down for the last generation and for the one before it. Accustomed from his boyhood to conform with the general opinions and prejudices of the people, he has come to regard all departures from the established order with a suspicious, fC0l1flIlll4'll on page 1433 Page One Hundred Forty-Seven THE SMALL COLLEGE IN Tl-IE CHANGING VVORLD fuonlinm-cl from page 1-173 even fearful eye. His life is bound in by a set pattern of approval and disap- proval which seems to have lert no room for the possibility of change. When he is sent to a small college, he finds his experience mirrored by those of the peo- ple about him, a circumstance which tends to strengthen his faith in the creed which has been drilled into him. Nurtur- ed by these connections and by the bacft- ground of the college itself, he becomes a mere rubber stamp, living his life as thousands of his predecessors have lived theirs. This, then, is the youth of America, the hope of tomorrow. They are tied to the past, and they cannot sense the changing world. They go, in extreme, so far as to deny its actuality and the ad- visability of transformation. Why , one of them has just asked, does the world have to change? By virtue of his ques- tion the argument is complete. 1 CUJWPIJJVIENTS of A FRIEND The Hofef 'FI C A 350 Rooms V A t 350 Baths I- ,f 'V . I . Nfl .IIE .-':v:,., fi. XV X aiiM rl -1 'n H 'H its 17?

If you don't do this, your words will pass right through and out of his consciousness as easily as they entered. Or, if you put on a huffing and puffing act, he will naturally set up a defense, and close his mind's inner re- cesses. Thus, the poets who find their language dead and ineffectual, and who try to revivify it with injections of blas- phemous thunder, crudeness, and pro- fane stench, will find that they are using a quack medicine of the sorriest sort. Now comes the question, what is the correct tonic? Shelley, speaking of poets, says: Their language is vitally metaphoricalg that is, it marks the before unapprehended rela- tions of things and prepetuates their ap- prehension, until words, which represent them, become, through time, signs for 41-enlinuetl en page 1505 ll HOl.IfS.iI,1'I FRU!

And when we stop to consider it, his description is a truly accurate one. It is metaphorical figures of speech that make a language vital, but, sadly enough, metaphors, as well as poets, die, and new ones must be found to take their place. If a modern poet, in describing his lady, should say that her lips are like a rose , our immediate reaction would be trite! That conceit, according to Shel- 1ey's description, has become, through time, a sign for a portion or class of thought instead of a picture of an integ- ral thought. Therefore it seems that our language needs fresh metaphors, not new words. But besides incorporating new meta- phors and figures of speech, there are innumerable ways of making our literary productions more vital and telling. Our words are not dead, it is the manner in which they have been used that make them seem so. If we take our old words and put them in new and different com- binations, they will immediately spring to life. Back in the eighteen-ninties there was an American writer who was a master at this sort of thing, and his language is consequently vivid and meaningful. He had no small influence on American and English letters, yet today, for some in- explicable reason, he is unrecognized and forgotten. This man was Stephen Crane.
