Senior Thesis — Beginnings of Agriculture in Pennsylvania. 26 HAVERFORD COLLEGE HARL DODGE • ' Karl- The Hercules from Germantown. Swimming, class football and rope- climbmg. Daredevil chauffeur — whether with Ford or Mercedes. A colleague of Dutch Theis in numerous expeditions. Disliked the curriculum but didn ' t let it annoy h:m. Much sought-after — by Dean Gummere. JAMES SPRAGUE ELLISON. JR. Jim The far-famed possessor of the stannous ear or tin ear extraordinary. Was in our midst at the halfway post but developed a hot-box from over- speeding and retired to sell corsets to Miranda in Little Germany, Pa. Our class gift to 1916. GERALD FORD HILL Six feet two — 122 lbs. — accurate pitching arm — hundred yards in ten flat (toward the skating pond). A passion for candy, French literature, bridge, the theatre, and baseball. No passion for bathing. When he be- came humanized in Soph year, we saw that he was a true sport. 27 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD MOUSA JIRIUS KALEEL Mouser Born in the country of Bib. Lit. I, and educated in L. P. ' s native state, he should have been redolent of the odot of sanctity — sometimes he was. His nose-to-the-ground football playing was a joy to behold. He left when we didn ' t expect him to go and returned when we didn ' t expect him to come. EDWARD WILLIAM KLING Bro Alias (in Ardmore) Ed Richard- son ; also known to Coleman as Reds. Starred with the song h t We ' re from Miss Baldwin ' s. We have missed his contagious laugh and his readiness to join anything and we have been glad to have him visit us, particularly at class banquets. LERO ' D ' ER LOCKE Doc, V a.v Oni pound hundred and seventy-five of good fellow. Th; haaJ of all North Barclay battering rams in Freshman year. Noted for h ' .s cold cure, his slow drawling of Some- body ' s crooked, his picture gallery, aid boxing proclivities — in beating the Big Swede for the heavyweight belt. HAVERFORD COLLEGE LEONARD V. H. THOMAS Scare)] All-around athlete iuid society man. Scarey ' s affiliation with our class was but fleeting. Like the Record of 1914, his class in reality, we can but wish him a speedy recovery from the distressing malady with which he has been afflicted. ADDISON LLECH BLISS Addie Big, hearty, carefree and funny Like Minot, he came to us from Bos- ton and Hahvad for one year only, but while he was here he was a per- petual joy to first floor South. The class, the college, and the tennis team are the losers by hs failing to return. FRANCIS MINOT Franlf The Adonis of the Venus and Adonis Club. The Kupp;nheimer and Arrow Collar companies used to model I heir ads on Frank — handsome, de- bonair, skeptical and possessed of an antipathy for Kelsey — Don ' t call ME ' class ' . For a fitting eulogy see his erstwh ' le pupil, Ed Farr. EDGAR JORDAN WATSON Watso Weikel ' s fellow-citizen, first wife, and opponent at billiards. To be relied upon for 500 at any time. Much interested in the bringing-up of Bowman. When he left at the end of Freshman year, we lost an ever-cheer- ful clasfmate and a sympathetic friend. NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD CARL LEISTER NEWELL Pete I ' ve known a lot of men be ' ave a dam ' sight worse than Piet. 1915 never lost a son she more universally regretted. Deep rooted in the two short years when sweat-shirted and slippered he placidly reclined in our midst, the memory of his freely given friendship will always linger; — • a true symbol of our class fraternity. GROVER CLEVELAND THEIS Crover Dutch A real Wellmann — said so him- self. From him Eighth Street held no secrets. Familiar with the stage entrance and the wmgs of the Gayety. Tutor and preceptor to North Barclay. Having a good com- mand of the English language even the Haverfordian accepted him — and he is now in Journalism. G. AUBRE - SOWELL Aub A-a-h Sowell A priest of Aesculapius, Aub came from the labs and lecture rooms of Freshman year at a medical college to acquire some general culture at Haverford. Silent, but very reliable, he went into class fights with a will. An eloquent lecturer on cadavers. Now leading his class at Temple Uni- versity Medical School. SELIM TOTAH Selim He left us not so long ago. Carolling with a will, and it was no new departure, for all Soph year he continuously carolled. North Barclay remembers it — and says it was not musical. Now Selim carves his way in the wide world. We follow him wishing we were as con- fident of our own success. 30 MERION AND THE ANNEX 82 FOUNDERS ' HALL 33 FRESHMAN YEAR 34 T WAS reported at Haverford that 1915 with its Assyrians, Chinese,. Japanese, Chafeinese. English, Americans, New Englanders and Jerry, was actually to enter. Brows were wrinkled and brains were wracked in search for a fitting reception. College customs were rejuven- ated. Hazing was abolished. An advance guard of Hib Garrett, Leiand and the Ardmore Printing Company soon confirmed the report. Then came Locke, the massive, with a beaming smile and a football, Jawn G., with his tennis trophies and a box of Phillip Morrises, and all the rest of the brilliant array. It would take too long to describe the whole scintillating procession, each one different and all worthyof attention. Besides, this is a history and not a confession of intrinsic merit alone. In the chapter Fall of each class history th ere are six divisions. One, the Cane Rush ; two. 35 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD the Freshman Entertainment; three, four, five and six, Football. The Cane Rush is a Sophomoric amusement. We sported with 1914 for a time over a paltry five feet of lumber. They seemed to want it. We were always a courteous class, so, although we had nearly as many hands on the cane as they did, we let them have it by the scant margin of 14 to 12. They seemed grateful. We smiled and turned to things m ore germane to our lofty natures. The Entertainment seemed to promise well. With a large number of fellow aesthetes we prom- enaded a while in the cool of the evening, appreciating the delicate green of the moon and drawing obvious comparisons. We at times gave vent to our high spirits in ebullient song. After this soul- ful proceeding we were taken indoors and served a collation of moderately fresh tomatoes in the sanctified confines of the Greek-frescoed old collection room. From a firm conviction of our physical perfection — or for some other reason — the assembled throng demanded that we appear before them in the state of nudity so customary with Venus, Apollo and other deities. We complied. Jerry ' s undeniable perfections prompted long-drawn a-a-ahs from the critiques — Fansler becoming especially enthusiastic. Tales and songs were in order to amuse the company. We are from Baldwin ' s sung in a voice hoarse with sentiment won thunderous applause for the sprightly Kling. Nitobe proclaimed with unblushing candor his advent from Hell, sir. He ungraciously refused to describe the place, much to the disappointment of some of the Sophs who wished to check up his statements. In the vicinity of midnight we departed the hall with smiles dripping aquatically from our vis- ages and somebody ' s clothes draped about our shivering bodies. A lake of turbulent water and frac- tured vegetables lay shimmering in the moonlight and we had become Haverfordians by all the rites of baptism. Midway in the year, Mousa Jirius Kaleel, having glutted himself on opposing football players, and finding the curriculum too tame for his savage taste, became afflicted with the wanderlust. At the nearest approach to a sob-party that our merry band has ever had, Moose drew upon us for our entire allowance. After a lengthy song-fest and cider carousal at which many somber farewell speeches were made, the Moose and 1915 were conceded to be the best ever, and the gnarled warrior set out for Boston via Palestine. Moose was a genius. His come-back would have been enough to annihilate Jesse Willard. On the scrub, Farr, Levis and Pharo played an honorable season and for one year at least 1915 was not accused of having a dearth of football players. Senior year with Eddie Farr on the Var- sity as our only player was still far ahead. 36 HAVERFORD COLLEGE Internal warfare of a friendly but vigorous sort deprived us of sleep until the upper-classmen began to come to breakfast in a bitter mood. Even Morley ' s cordial good-nights did not seem to afford them the proper amount of wholesome slumber. North Barclay, topped with Sophomore hats, would make noisy midnight onslaughts on South. South would repel the invaders and in the small hours of the mo rning would return the attack. Tired of the monotony of this, after a few sleepless nights the doughty warriors descended twenty strong on the fold of the Merionites. The six or seven inhabitants of this studious hall were scattered but not defenseless. Broken locks and bent bed-legs in the room of Felix and Monk Pharo bear witness to the efficiency of crunching cinders as a tocsin for manful combat. A bucket of water and the wrath of our future Y. M. C. A. President at feeling the cool liquid trickling down his back resulted in a mashed and bloody nose for Sowell. A-a-ah, Sowell, was the morning greeting for the Medico during several weeks. Two attacks, and one invasion of a Junior ' s room (which wouldn ' t have mattered much if the Junior had not been the god-like Church) were required before the Merionites rubbed their eyes and considered a I ' eturn attack. At two o ' clock one morning, Sowell and the Monk woke up Morley, Pete Newell, Jonah and the Parson. Hallett was pulled from his bed. The terrible Dane was nerved to the attack and the raid commenced. The fire-escape as a means of ingress, a careful apportionment of victims and a firm and relentless execution of plans brought about the desired result. Sleeping forms were buried under beds. Pugnacious individuals were left recumbent in hallways, bloody noses were atoned for, the Jarl gave a timid tug at Karl ' s bed-clothes, and the invaders had retired before the stunned inhabitants had become quite aware of the course of events. North Barclay was our most interesting haul. The sidling form of Jerry Hill came to its nightlv rest here. Saco stroked his protesting violin much to the annoyment of the contemplative Hoopes and the unappreciative Chetty. He even drove some of . A NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD his neighbors to drink deeply of a hair-raising liquor (bay-rum) much to the consternation of Durgin. Bro Kling, the Rabelais of the class, kept ennui from the battered door. Mus-Tang slept the opu- lent sleep of the Oriental with a combative umbrella within easy reach. The imprecations which he muttei-ed in his sleep hurt no feelings since they were couched in the mystic language of Confucius. The Count spun endless discourses on tnings present and things to come. Among other things, he has lately said that Karl was at college a good deal of the time Freshman year. Hib Garrett was also in this hall, and Coleman ' s modest lispings could be heard at times. On the third floor Levis and Locke lived in monastic solitude. The Sophomores seemed to take to these im- mortals though tney did black-ball them from their society at the first of the year. One evening they were given an exciting automobile ride by these gentlemen. Chetty Carey evolved a unique way of travel when devoid of funds on his return trip. The time that the Count nearly drowsed off into his long sleep because of a brass ink-stand hurled by the irascible Jerry proved that the latter was not always merely a fugitive shadow. But his fugues were speedy when they happened. Jerry was more a class institution than a member merely. We have not space here to do complete justice to the noble creature who might be found wound round and round a column before the dining-room door, like baby ribbon around a stick, whenever we went to replenish our material stores. Speaking of meat and drink, what could be a more awful warning against over-indulgence in the same than Jawn G. ' s two-beer hang over ? One of our chief exhibitions was two real Harvard students. Minot with his extreme world- weariness and the genial Bliss will always be dear to the hearts of many of our members. The Venus and Adonis Club with its letters from widows worth $40,000 and Honus Wagner as Secre- tary can be traced to the inventive minds of these gentlemen, as well as many another jovial prank 38 HAVERFORD COLLEGE and interesting experiment. Perhaps a more extended description of their enterprises would be too risque for this sober publication. Two floors above their heads and in contradistinction with the Venus and Adonis Club was the Johnson and Boswell Alliance. Whipple and the learned Bowman held their own in the grim realms of knowledge. Bowman could scarcely restrain his passion for the sweet strains of Keats ' Prome- theus Bound (as sung in dulcet tones by Votaw before his try at the Glee Club) except under the gentle influence of Shakes- peare ' s Evangeline. South Barclay had its energetic mo- ments. Bitter fights took place between Cy and the whole sec- ond floor, Weikel and Watso occasionally lending their aid. Cy used to fight an iiatin-elle until a broken bottle punctured the velvet pinkncss of his skin and he was forced to clothe himself — materially hampering the efficiency of his attacks. Turner ' s bizarre quarters and the Turkish odor from the Tobe ' s room when Goph had taught him the uses of the cigarette made an intensely exotic atmosphere on the second floor. Brinton is said to have improved his cricket in bowling at a P. A. can. Once in a while there was studying. Grover ' s seminars before mid- fc_ years were, however, considered to uphold the major-weight of i- . this side of college life. In Founders, Dixie Dunn held joint sway with the Lathem-Goddard twins of sainted memory. The history of Merion and Founders is almost inextricrible. Founders was an annex of the former dormitory. Felix was wont to ascend to its eyrie at everv period — to leave a book, borrow some rai- ment, or to deliver an unwontedly brilliant jewel from his teeming mind. Jarl Egolf came, too, to hurl the latest canto of the vitriolic Dunciad at the quivering Dunn, or listen in terrific glee to the vaunting strains of the Egolfiad. Pete Newell ' s yellow shoes graced the window sill often and Sowell would at times consent to hold the company spell-bound with his vivid descriptions of a cadavar with the epidermis removed. Pharo also found Flounders an excellent place from which 39 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD to observe human nature at its sprightliest. Maurice Hewlett does not belong to our class. But he should be at least an honorary member. The re port is that Dixie Dunn found his Forest Lovers in a retired alcove of the library. From then until the end of the year no one else could find it there. Maulfrey, the Jarl, and Pete laid hands upon it after Dixie had done, and given his glowing descrip- tion. Jonah could scarcely be separated from it in time to leave for his summer vacation. In baseball we carried off the honors. Sowell won us the championship in the ninth inning of the last game of the series. He knocked out a three bagger with the game a tie, scored two men, and won our eternal gratitude. Speaking of Sophomores (we weren ' t but we might have been) it should go upon record that the right way to tame these individuals when their Sophomoreness becomes too acute is to put their beds up a tree, fling their bed-clothes to the breeze and de- part — (e. g., Unk Russell and his general insolence to 1915). The ancient Barker, en famille, the spoon feed at which Van Hollen, who liad superseded Ellison as class presi- dent, promoted the movement which removed a certain spicy perquisite of the same — at least by 1915 — as well as the cake-walk and Nitobe ' s Red Lion Stock Company — all this happened in our fresh and verdant year. We were an ingenious and versatile lot and our first year was more varied and colored than it would appear from this slight record. But it did come to an end. It had that in common with the freshman years of other classes. THt LIBRARY 41 SUl ' llUMORl. I.AU 42 N September 26, 1912, all roads led to Haverford. With sand or pine-needles still in the cuffs of our trousers, we straggled back, not reluctantly to school but with a Cheshire grin and a howl as we saw some familiar figure sauntering across the campus. The glad hand was the order of the day. Next we hounded Harry for our trunks and then— Reinie, you ' re Moon, aren ' t you? You look fairly healthy— help me upstairs with this. Our class hats had lost their pristine purity but they were the symbols of authority and we flaunted them incessantly in the eyes of 1916 — providing th ere was nothing still due on them to Yo. We had been often told that Soph year would see a huge depletion in our ranks and we were an. - ious to know who had fallen by the wayside. But only four failed to answer the roll— Watso with- drew across the river and his cheery Little game, Weik? was heard no more in the land; Sowell had NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD taken up the study of medicine — soon to have named for him a little piccaninny whose arrival into this world he had supervised; Minot and Bliss no longer taught us the language of Boston — but Theis re- tained Frank ' s isosceles triangle walk and, on state occasions, his accent. But to solace our grief at these losses. Fortune dealt nobly with us. Kemp Taylor sagely preferred us to 1914 ; Dr. Hall ' s heart leaped within him — Vail came over the horizon, the reproachless Elwood, like Kemp destined to be a class president and winner of a Corp. The mighty Mouser was joined by a compatriot from Palestine — Selim Totah, a cheerful spirit, but, according to Egolf, an exponent of somewhat informal method of fighting. By the way, note Egolf ' s attitude in the Sophomore picture. Helveston, deciding that indeed this is the life and that a day student merely exists, took up his abode in South in the closely segregated district occupied by Hill, Whipple and Theis. In short, 1915 showed an unprecedented capacity for sticking and a true appreciation of Haverford. Our class has always had a penchant for short story writing and this has not been better evidenced by the stories that were rife concerning our adventures of the summer. Truth is ever stranger than fiction — and a perfect stranger to some of our members. But among the noteworthy incidents for which we can vouch is Jack ' s invasion of a convent at Chatres. No man but Jack has ever slept there — even if he did have to sleep with the cows and chickens in the stable. Let us hastily pass over the inconceivable error of the dear old lady who, in the peculiar lighting eff ' ects that a pocket search- light gives, mistook the Count for a second Tarquin! Keedle called a class meeting and Dodge, Locke and Coley were the Sandows selected to hold the cane for us. The reinies looked husky so we decided that they would be worth beating. When Murray shot off the gun, our triumvirate shoved the stick toward us and the rest was like taking canary seed from a cuckoo clock. The next Weekly had the heading — Freshmen Overwhelmingly Defeated. Under our thoughtful care, the best in the reinies was brought out for the delectation of the multitudes assembled at the Freshman Entertainment. A loyal subject of the king gave a 44 HAVERFORD COLLEGE rendition of Jolly Yorkshire Lads that was easily the sensation of the evening. A carload of tomatoes was brought in and our marksmanship was perfected as the freshmen endeavored to jump two at a time through a two by three window. As a result, the Old Collection room looked as if the German army had been vivisecting Belgian babies. Whereupon the indefatigable Oscar reported that the cleaning-up operations had taken eleven men and a colored lady forty-two hour.s — and the bill was proportionate. Anyhow it was a memorable occasion — for the reinies. Hazing at Haverford has been abolished — if you don ' t believe it ask at the office. But we took pains to give a certain modicum of spiritual education to the freshmen — giving it in the same good- humored spirit with which we had received ours the preceding year. But there was a leak somewhere, and the class found itself facing disaster. We attended a conference with the President. Some punishment appeared to be certain — it was merely a question of quantity. To ascertain this, Levis, said the President, what shall I do with thee? Levi squirmed, swallowed three times, and gurgled, Excuse me, collapsing into the arms of his admiring classmates. Somehow, it didn ' t seem so serious after that, and we were released with an admonition. At the head of the stairs to third floor North was a huge sign bearing the legend Death to Reinies — and not a freshman ventured into the jaws of death till after Christmas. Meekness is admirable in freshmen. Having given 1916 a fitting welcome to our midst, we turned our atten- tion to football. Locke, Kaleel, and Levis were our contributions to the team but the latter injured his leg and was kept out of most of the games. The season was unfortunate, particularly the Le- high game, but our trip to South Bethlehem was thoroughly enjoyable. As usual the season closed with the Soph-Fresh game. It was painful but It was far from scandalous. Above all things, 1916 is a football class (witness their brutal 26-0 defeat of 1917). Yet our team, weakened by the ab- sence of Levis, fought them to a standstill during three quarters of the game. Toward the end of the first half they got the ball across for the only time. Our men went back in the second half and played hair-raising football. The end of the last quarter was unforgetable. We made first down after first down; Dods:e tore off a 50-yard run; more gains and the ball was on their 7-yard line and then — the whistle! We were beaten 6 to 0, but the proper spirit was all there. The team: L. E Hoopes L. T. Kaleel L. G Gummere C . Morley R. G. L. Crosman R. T Locke R. E Taylor Q. B Farr L. H. B Dodge R. H. B Brinton F. B Weikel 45 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD In prophecy of the skill that was to make them twice the college Doubles Champions, Weikel and Hallett reached the final round of the fall tournament. We were never blessed with any exceptionally brilliant football players, but after skimming ofi one good team we could still put a sturdy bunch of amateurs on the field. Wogglebug football is par- ticularly our forte. First the Juniors and then the Seniors bit the dust and we won the first of our two Wogglebug Championships. With the close of football season the sordid round of gym began and we yearned for the end of the third quarter that was to emancipate us — and incidentally leaked out the door by dozens while Lance was giving instructions in the cut and catch. Van Hollen was our most regular representa- tive on the soccer team and the season was very good. In the Intercollegiates, Harvard alone beat us and our defeat of Penn was the most thrilling soccer we have seen. North Barclay was the stronghold of college life as depicted in novels and comic supplements. The I. W. W. or I Won ' t Work Society was an influential fraternity there. The names of the officers and members are suppressed in return for a slight contribution from their treasury. Karl 46 HAVERFORD COLLEGE was too busy to be at college often or at classes even and with him Dean Gummere assiduously con- ducted a one-sided correspondence. Tobe added telegraph to his list of periodic fads. An oil stove made Megarge ' s budoir resemble the country store of fiction and Hill was imported from South to play bridge. North ran to peculiar decorating effects — Jack ' s and Tobe ' s Oriental domicile, the red bur- lap monstrosity that belonged to Ed and Bro ; and Doc ' s Louvre were the most striking of these. The padlock on Leland ' s and Coley ' s room made it a haven for such iniquitous pursuits as hearts and 500, and its harem room was a work of art. Ed, Tom, Jim, the Count, and Doc celebrated Lincoln ' s birthday, but the last did not answer the roll at the close. One of the most popular winter sports was supeing. Hubert was selected from a crowd of fifty and made a glorious high priest in The Jewels of the Madonna. Cy, in Macbeth, made the ghastly error of carrying a tree (used in the Birnam Wood scene) into the wrong parade and fled without waiting for his stipend. Keedle, Tom, Levi and Henry contributed hand- somely to the Chase Fund on account of smoking in a Physical Straining exam. Ed. Grossman sold fourteen tons of the toothless Barking Dog to the smokers of the college. Doc and Henry conducted a sociological investigation of Atlantic City over Easter. After an all-night session with diphtheria germs as uninvited guests, Chet, scared blue as were the others, was well punctured with serum injec- tions. One of our most notable parties was given in the roof garden by Brink and Shaff — three girls and eight men, ably chaperoned by Bill Hare and Jack Keough. In the Emerson Medal Contest, Cy, Tang and Ellison wei-e compelled to yield to Bill Allen ' s fiery appeal for the teaching of Sex Hygiene in the Kindergarten. Probably during no other year were our classes as full of life. Chem. I was the feature. Dr. Hall — Harvey, what is an ore? Harvey — close the door? Dr. Hall — Ellison, what have I in this dish? Jim (drowsily) — Did you say fish? Coley and Weik were so much amused by the course that they tried it again two years later. 47 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD Latin II was enlivened as usual by both professors and students. Dr. Gummere — Falconer, ' quis fuit Dmnces? ' Cy — Turnus amavit Laviniam! In French, Tang was guilty of many glorious solecisms, though Bowie ran him a close second. In the middle of April occurred the great Whitall fire, and, by common con- sent, the hero of the event was our Hubert. In no small amount of danger, Sook leaped about in the flames, smashed all the ma- chinery and plied the axe with a ven- geance. Church Longstreth ' s explanation of Hubert ' s method of putting out the blaze is open to question. Even Jimmy Carpenter went insane in his efforts to save the library and used language not suited to a Quaker college. As usual the Spring was idyllic and study was a word heard only on the lips of Bowman. At the Spring Opening we starred. With the lightest team on the floor, we walked away with the tug of war. Brink was the sensation of the under- water swim — seven lengths, three ahead of his nearest competitor. Junior Night — Haverford ' s only social event — saw Hendricks and Leland in The Importance of Being Earnest. Cricket, tennis, track, not to mention dingle-ball and French cricket, held our attention. The Swarthmorons were beaten in tennis and track and Hallett leaped his way to an H. Keedle, Ed, Coley, and Jim played on the first cricket team and were chosen for the Canadian trip. Chetty and Bowie were on the second team. The Soph-Fresh game was a massacre — 153 to 80. Brinton scored an 89 not out. 48 HAVERFORD COLLEGE The last epidemic of examinations was survived and we stretched ourselves on the campus and drowsily watched Bergdoll sail over. Then Class Day arrived and we ate ourselves into a state of coma in honor of the departure of 1913. More or less unwillingly, we packed, nailed up our closets and strolled down to the station wondering if the summer was to offer us such delights as had been ours during Sophomore Year. 49 ITH our natural dignity in complete subjection to sheer exuberance of spirit, we cheerfully approached the North entrance to the dining-room, entirely oblivious of Sangree and other timid Seniors. Here a shock awaited us. Perched on the rail, his birdlike features seamed with the myriad responsibilities of his position, it was the Count who first brought home the realization that we were Juniors. Two weeks last Saturday, he replied tersely, when Tom asked how long he had been back. Slightly oppressed by a new appreciation of our merits, we descended en masse upon the newly created Sanger Fest. At the first our personnel was not much changed. Totah had left us for the questionable delights of the Aluminum trade, a pastime which has chafed sorely upon more than one of our members. Scarey Thomas, welcomed from 1914, gracefully preened his auburn plumage till several eccentric 51 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD acts convinced all comers that he was better off in Baltimore. Pete Newell had finally severed hio affiliations, though next year we saw our little friend of all the world an embryo osteopath in Phil- adelphia. Tang, during this year a temporary deserter to Wisconsin, has found first loves to be best and is now an Ardmore-abiding Senior, with landlady and bath-tub. The passing year made other breaches. Jimmy found the pace too hot and retired to Germania to recuperate, re-entering as our bequest to 1916. Karl joined the business world. That greatest loss, which was so terrible a blow to all of us, we can only mention. A more adequate remembrance of Hib- bard is elsewhere in our Record. Our choice of rooms was cosmopolitan. South and Merion were most popular. A select coterie still affirmed the charms of North, and other halls were well repre- sented. Shaff and Brink moved out of, Emmett and Whip into, the attic, and in these remote seclusions were witness-rd Jonah ' s first deviations from the narrow path, a judicious combination of the Droll Tales and Dixie ' s anecdotes having undone all the ill effects of Westtown. At Merion the Monk radiated sunshine, immured amid pipes, books. Lance ' s piano, and reams of Genial Poetry. Don and Tobe were furthest North in New Lloyd. Great scholastic achievement was expected from this seclusion, but the prophets were disappointed, although a grade of 88 7f was announced for the third quarter. Investiga- tion proved that, as usual, the two were combining their possessions. We lost no time in examining the merits and defects of our various electives. Dr. Gummer ' s Chaucer attracted many and Megarge surprised everyone, him- 52 HAVERFORD COLLEGE kcIj most of all, by knocking down a cold A. Whispers of l . H. K. were rife, but Levi, scorn- ing utilitarian motives, gracefully relapsed into more consistent grades. A small and select group vainly wrestled with the irascible doctor in Chem. II, and the recording angel must have a whole chapter devoted to the havoc of those Red Monday quizzes. By no means the most remarkable answer was the ready response of Kemp when demanded the names of two salts of tin: — Tin Stannate, and Tin Stannite, Sir! The engineering department continued to attract some, P. R., Egolf, and the Crosmans being most in evidence. Felix, as yet blissfully ignorant of a more cultural future, gleefully turned door knobs in the shop. Breaking into song at this pursuit one day, he brought Weaver tearing down tidiii the third lloor ti in the machinery ! By rights we should have won the Wogglebug Championship which, with our Soph and Senior victories, would have made us champions all three years. We had easily defeated 1916 and were playing 1914 for the title. For some reason, the last quarter was played in total darkne.ss and dur- ing a scrin;mage Kelly put the ball under his jersey and crawled down the sidelines for the only touchdown. The game went on with Coley ' s headguard and not until time was called did Kelly ' s shrieks from behind the goal attract attention. That the referee was a member of 1914 has been pointed out, but we have never felt the need of being anything but generous — even with champion- ships at stake. The snow fell and we retired to pipe and book with weekly sallies upon the diversions of Phil- adelphia. Ed, Tom, Megarge, and Chetty indulged in an occasional hand and Cy turned the nose of the Civics Club toward Prohibition and the open seas. Even the Classicists were heard of whu IkuI K !- caUKli 53 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD i juan rliMy -it i.., Ch ftuij-- sZ-H-a-L ' y through the famous incident of the overshoes; — going to a meeting at Dr. Baiter ' s house, Bowie was much delighted by Dunn ' s arctics on Whipple ' s feet. After the meeting, L. G. found another pair even more disreputable and held them above his head shrieking sarcastic comments. Dick watched the proceeding with an aggrieved expression — and no wonder, for the maligned footgear was his own ! On learning the Bowie was inconsolable, be- lieved the sedulous attentions of three years come to naught, and even refused to partake of tne refreshments. We had been back from the Christmas holidays but a short time before two changes became apparent. Tne first, not universally noticed, but none the less poignant to a few enthusiasts, was the removal of the Rathskeller to make room for the Arcade Building. Neither Soulas ' nor Lauber ' s or even more expensive retreats can ever hope to vie with the delights afforded by the subter- ranean mysteries of the Ratz. The other metamor- phosis was primarily confined to the Tobe though it quickly radiated to all who came in contact with thai volatile personality. One of our three delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention at Kansas City during the vacation, Yo ' s nature seemed to have undergone a posi- tive avatar — no other word can do it justice. The most immediate result was the famous Morning Watch held before breakfast in the old Y. M. C. A. room. Tobe and Loring were always there, P. R. and Goph sometimes. No greater testimony to Tobe ' s enthusiasm can be given than the fact that Gene was once present. The second morning the alarm clock was on the job at 6 :30, but Gene failed to respond. He borrows an alarm clock when he wants to rise early now. fC O .JfJ vwcn ' v a -h iK- UM.

New stars blazed forth upon the scholastic firmament, chief among them bsing Shaff, who, gently cradled amid countless hours of Biology, corralled A ' s in a way that made George and Bowie look anxiously to their laurels. Dixie cursed the family tie which had drawn him into Math. III., turning thence only to pour the vials of in- vective upon German A and its bristly sponsor. To this baleful influence are traced those strange rheu- matic twinges which assailed T. K. about this time. It w ' as when the simplified spelling bee was par- ticularly rampant in Center Barclay and the preceding bit of English as she is writ was — we blush to admit — purloined from the abode of Henery Joal. Whether or not that mild and melancholy eye was ever cast upon the recumbent stif is very problematical. Poor Henery may have been severely taken to task about those shoes and trousers, but it was not his fault. He never got the note and it rests today as the most cherished relic in the scrap- book of the present compiler. The wholly delightful interval be- tween Midyear and Junior D ay was inter- esting though marked with no untoward incident. Several smokers, enlivened by the martial strains of Egg ' s class song, demonstrated clearly that we had left be- hind all semblance of factions and were bound together — North, South, Center, Merion and Lloyd — by bonds which the passing years can only strengthen. Tobe became Editor-in- Chief of the Haverfor- dian and P ' elix was also numbered among the immortals. Under his temporary leadership as president the class stood solidly behind the existing honor system, weathering the storm in a way which brought forth congratulations from Isaac. 55 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD Bowie and Jonah joined Kemp as our qualified gymnasts. Goph was elected soccer captain. Loring be- came entrusted with the difficult task of assuring oar salvation, and after the tour of the musical clubt; to Atlantic City (a trip about which the Count and Keedle tell incredible yarns) Kemp and Hubert were selected in the twin branches of harmony. How well they have fulfilled their trust is shown by the unparalleled success of the clubs this year. Our Junior Banquet, held at the Hotel Continental, deserved notice both for its success — Mike Bennett was our guest of honor and Aub Sowell and Bro Kling were present to remind us of old times — and for subsequent adventures. Starting in a body, we soon divided into congenial groups in quest, by no means fruitless, of amusement. Of Yo ' s experience at the back door of the Troc and of the kaleidoscopic splendor of the Chorus Girls ' Ball — to the inmost recesses of which, Yo, Felix and the Count penetrated — we will not treat. Of the trio, two made the 12:15 — but they were without Henry ! And then to Junior Night, which was a universally acclaimed success. With characteristic enter- pris e we had transferred the nucleus of festivities from the Gymnasium to the Dining Room, trans- formed to another Eden by the skillful artistry of Saco and his minions. In the Memorial Garden, Le- land had had an attractive supper prepared, at which only 191.5 and her guests were present — a dis- tinctively class feature which did much to enhance the evening ' s success. Henry, too, was our only rep- resentative in the cast of Engaged — though Paul Hendricks wielded a power unseen as Stage Man- ager and Sam Wagner officiated for the Cap and Bells in some responsible capacity, exactly what, no one has been able to discover. Indeed Sam himself is distinctly hazy upon this point. When the lights faded on a very wan and weary class, we none of us counted our mental worries and physical strains, so more than compensated were they by a Junior Night which, at the least, stands head and shoulders above any we can remember. The perfect days of May dreamed by in a placid succession of enjoyment. We were care-free hedonists in that most glorious period of our college course — the Spring of Junior year. From Cope came the crisp crack of ball and bat, but the non-cricketers rested easy. Were not Eddie, and Coley, and Keedle more than upholding our laurels at the wickets and assuring themselves of the subsequent English tour? To be sure, it is a rara avis among classes that can claim a wicket-keep like Eddie or such a bowler as Keedle. And then there was that superhuman victory over 1914. The nine Gods of 56 57 Tarquin have blazoned for eternal glory how Brint, going in first, stuck through the diabolic bowling of Stacker Stokes and Captain Garrigues fo r a glorious 57, not out, and how silent Mac, reliable as the Bank of England, batting last man with four runs needed for a tie, calmly blocked for four overs or cut for an occasional one until we had conquered ! On Walton, too, we were in the limelight. Shaff heroically trotted gruelling distances and George showed amazing prowess as a high jumper. His tie for second at the Penn relays and his first at the Middle States with a leap of five feet eleven must be recorded. By the time this goes to press we are sure George will have completely fathometl the art of jumping! He captains the team this year; a worthy leader. But it is well known that Spring stirs budding youth to other achievements than those of phys- ical prowess. Toward the end of May came Parson Allen ' s famous pilgrimage to Woodside. All that happened has never been revealed, but it is known that Coy Young, to whom we must attribute P. R. ' s downfall, was busily engaged in making the impromptu acquaint- ance of two of the gentler sex when Allen, who from moral or diplo- matic reasons had remained in the background, approaches melodi- ously jingling four nickels between his hands and says with a killing smile: Hello, girls, wanter go on the scenic? Linquenda tellus et domiis et placens uxor, we once chanted in Latin II, and so, with Class Day and Commencement, Junior year faded into the never-to-be-forgotten past. To the assembled families of the dear departing, Prexy read forth the various honors and 1915 held far more than her fair share. Bowie and George both won the signal honor of ' l .B. K. So, with a vague presentiment of what Com- mencement really meant, 1915 clasped hands and fled away amid the swiftly falling shadows. 58 THE SENIOR ENTRANCE 59 ROBERTS HALL 60 ITH President Sharpless ' admonition still ringing in our ears, o ' er moor and fen, o ' er crag and torrent swarmed 1915 to the trysting place, grimly determined to show our worth as con- trollers of the college destiny. For had we not passed through two of the Summers which, lo quote our Daisy Dean, receive us boys and return us men? And, though doubting the appli- cation of the first ' s the worse, the second ' s the same, we were ready to assign our last year together to its proper rank. From the first confused supper when Don Baird ' s operatic tenor rang clear above the strains of Boys Again We Are Here, we were aware of new and potent influences in our midst. Our White Hopes were McCracken, White, Wain, and Webster, while from an inferior class Bye and Harvey were preparing to make the leap that should bring them distinction. From England ' s bally clim.e carr.e Coley, Keedle and Eddie Crosman, replete with wardrobe and war anecdote, burning to pex ' petuate our cricket fame, while Jack Gummere eagerly forsook the pitchfork, and our own George shook free his Titian locks from the toils of Intercollefi:iate tennis to lay his hand upon the class tiller. Gi ' over Cleveland had de- parted for Germania and Journalism. First things claimed our immediate attention. Coley started the football meeting with a roar 61 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD that grew in volume till that eventful day when the victor ' s mead, so opportunely overflowing, was snatched from our lips. Under the tuition of the best coach ever at Haverford, the peerless Mike Bennett, our men were molded into an absolutely harmonious machine. With all eyes fixed on the Swarthmore game, college spirit was everything that even the alumni could demand. What a game that was! — it has even eclipsed in our memory the great day when F. M. bit the dust of their own field. On the defense, our line was the sturdiest of stone walls, making up in nerve what it lacked in weight; on the offense the two backfields were so even that a wholesale nervous prostration threatened both grand stands. True, the enemy tied the score in the last few minutes and went home in high glee, but none the less that conflict will remain indelibly as the greatest game of our four years. And next year! Let X equal exactly the same team ready to play again ; let y equal another year ' s experience under Mike Bennett; let z equal the potentialities of the class of 1919 — then, .r-|-( -|-z=what score? Quelle joie! Congratulations, Ed. In this season, too, P. R. fell in love, and Ed Farr initiated the disheartening pursuit of the pig- skin that was to bring him near-wreaths and crosses and finally the radiant H. Megarge, too, defied his jinx till it laid him low for aye, while Chet felt surge within him the untrammeled Wogglebug spirit, and obeyed its call like a true son of Haverford. Meanwhile Eddie Crosman ' s lean figure could be seen flitting about the grid- iron with the nervous activity of the Manager. From the courts the progress of the Bowie-Whip- Dixie-Jonah foursome was evident to the dis- tracted ear. Don framed News headlines and issued the call to soccer. To vindicate the readi- ness of 1915 ' s response, we need only con the names of Felix, George, Tobe, Jack, Shaff, and Coley. How the fortunes of war wavered, how CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER TEAM .... Don fought against odds till the last whistle HAVERFORD COLLEGE sounded, and how the Watchful Dummere guarded the goal are now matters of history. In the Inter- class series we emerged the victors by a safe margin. Tender in our memory is Get the Weikel! but he could not be got. When the la.st dauntless third team game was over, we may imagine Gene breathed a sigh. In Wogglebug football, too. Captain Chetty ' s team could not be denied. From these gory contests George survived with eyes sufficiently unimpaired to win the tennis doubles with Weik, while Sam stood by and calculated the expense of new courts and backstops. In the waning Fall days Haverford gained and lost by the advent of the Lubin Company. Only on our Junior Day had such a galaxy of beauty invaded the campus. Cuts were taken by the dozen and Doc Watson held forth upon blue-eyed guinea pigs to a class composed of McNeill and Hallett. All activities were sus- pended in favor of the canned drama. Was it in his capacity as Y. M. C. A. president uplifting histrionic morals, or as a mem- ber of the Cap and Bells that L. P. fell from grace so flagrant- ly? It was a three days ' wonder and then, imperial sanction being withdrawn, they folded their tents like the Arabs and sought pastures new. Shaff discovered bugs. Pal Moore bred flies with pink and green orbs ; Tweedy came and went ; the musical clubs suffered at Overbrook ; and the gym escaped destruction by a margin so narrow that Kemp was fain to weep. Brink entertained himself in Phil. V and from these artistic beginnings we may thank Doc Watson for the Merion Menace, which burst upon our jaded senses just before Christmas. This proved to be no sporadic growth, but one well connected with the pocketbook nerve of the undergraduates — to such an extent that Life is reported to have bought up the whole volume of Menaces and Scarlets at a price only to be whispered of, and Whip tore his hair lest the artistic fount be drained ere its time. Meanwhile the Count, true to Tom ' s definition, was rarely seen when not in a hurry, and in addition MOVIE GROUPS HAVERFORD COLLEGE to many trips to New York, condescended to instruct us all in the gentle art of ad-getting. How much of this was wasted on irresolute ears n;ay be judged from the story of one of us who cornered the man- ager of an Atlantic City hotel, pleaded fervently with him for ten minutes and was finally greeted with Why, I ' m sure Haverford must be a very nice place, and your Book must be a very nice sort of book, and I ' m sure I ' d give you an ad — if I weren ' t a guest here! With the closing in of winter, the little games spoken of so fervently by Musty, once more swing into view, but were forced to compete with Campus Golf for pre-eminence in the field of Winter Sports. The memoi-y of the Count ' s side-arm delivery and the rarrimi ' s stealthy ai)proach must re- main forever green. Musty and his landlady gave us a feed at which George ' s scruples against Ardmore cider were irre- vocably demolished. Paul staged a screaming Cap and Bells Try-out; Ed Farr became president of the Baseball Club; Jack Gummere ' s chatelaine was much in evidence, and the Founders Club gave its first banquet. The close of vacation found most of us facing the grim i alities of Senior Thesis and Midyears. Di.xie redoubled the i.itention given to his reptiles. George was to be seen almost nightly in Darkest Philadelphia listening for the morning song f,f a certain species of bird, while Cyrus, can in hand, made the round of the campus trees and prayed for the Howing of the sap. The preponderance of 9.3 ' s resulting from Midyears proved as never before 1915 ' s scholastic attainments and forecast a multitude of keys. Meanwhile Hubert ' s solemn guitar continued to beat out the cadences of Darkey ' s Dream, and 191.5 ' s Glee Club wrestled with the intricacies of the Medley. Praises be to C5 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD Dr. Spiers for his faith in these dark days! Hubert ' s one-two-three, Saco ' s By the Sea and Don ' s eyes of bloo — oo were the high spots. The Atlantic City trip conjures up visions of Saco, the selsame sea, and the lady encountered there. Elwood was now forced to abandon his Fletcherized lunch in favor of the Class Meeting, where he presided with dignity and vigor. Tobe, with a sentiment touching to behold, bade his Haverfordian Board farewell, while Don could be seen in the News office figuring profits with a satisfied smile. Saco conducted a real tour to hear Billy Sunday, while the Egolphus sped away to the strains of the Columbia. Felix was summoned to the S. P. C. A. on a charge of cruelty to dogs ; Coley called on the grass widow and suffered a burglar scare in common with the Department of Mixed Theology; Harold played an active part in the Class Tea, and Chetty blushingly announced the birth of Moses G. In the gym was activity indescribable. Hubert plunged his way to glory, while Bowie became mas- ter of the fly-away. Jonah spurred the refractory steed and Kemp, with long face, eked out the last days of a blood-stained career. Tobe proved himself a good angel on more than one occasion — notably that on which he fed Bowie Chow Main till 2 A. M. In the sheds Keedle ' s familiar figure was seen diligently bowling and prophesying low scores for Penn, while George emulated the early bird and issued his call accordingly. The last and best class banquet was enjoyed at the Merion Golf Club with perfect concord and the Crosman cousins seated diametrically opposite each other. That certain of us slipped momentarily from grace has been a grief to us all, though they give us to understand that their sweet young lives will not be blighted by it. And then, and then came Spring — Easter and our vacation for once coinciding. After that, the deluge — Ethics theses had merely !?erved to remind us of our impending doom — OU HAVERFORD COLLEGE the Senior thesis. Dreaded for four years, it was upon us. Many and strange were the subjects we chose, but we decided to profit by example and write them ourselves. And all this must be done in the greatest season of the year and in our last college year ! As we go to press those bitter-sweet days are dawning — sweet in the pleasures of cricket, track, tennis and outdoor loafing; bitter in the thought that we will soon have run our course and know those delights no longer. And to you who have other years before you here we offer the most heartfelt congratulations as we regretfully take our leave. 67 ' V [E -H.-WtP-IORDlAN- BOARD HAVERFORD COLLEGE Litterati HE Haverfordian. founded in 1877, is one of America ' s oldest college magazines and is Haverford ' s most venerable institution. It has always ranked with the best in literary quality, but like all such publications it has been somewhat aloof from the college body. This is the problem that the 1913 editors faced and they endeavored to meet it by printing ideas and facts rather than sentiment and imagination, and by includ- ing the stage and music in its pages, as well as literary comments. As a result the Haverfordian was more cosmopolitan and varied in its interests than had been the case before. It has been known as the 1915 Monthly from the overwhelming number of contributions to it from this class. Pharo and Nitobe made the Haverfordian in Freshman year. The former worked on the Exchanges, wrote a couple of stories and some essays. But his forte has been verse, originally of a misty nature. Nitobe contributed ten short stories, seven articles and essays, and some dozen editorials and pastels. His subjects have been political, dramatic, musical, religious, aesthetic, risqui-, ethical and what not. His titles have ranged from Kansas City Convention and Friends at the Front to Brahms at a Quarter and fhe Cabaret Singer. In Senior year he was Editor-in-Chief. Kempton Taylor joined the Haverfordian in Sophomore year and contributed several clever and individualistic stories. His most valuable work was the emphasis which he put on the Alumni Notes. Van Hollen became a member of the Board soon after Taylor and wrote some rather chatty essays and several pieces of verse which attracted unusual at- tention. In Junior year, Morley won the Short Story Contest and since his election to the Board has proved to be of the soundest literary merit. He won the second Garrett Memorial Prize for verse in his Junior year and in Senior year won the Browning Society prize for undergraduate verse. The College Weekly was founded some six years ago and for ix years it stood still. Then in 1914-15 Van Hollen was elected and the Weekly had a new birth. It was re-christened the Haverford News. Four and a half columns of news were added by reducing the print. its whole appearance became more neat. Every activity in college has been adequately covered and its editorial oolicy has been for the best interests of Haverford and has been con- structive. We now get All the News. All ihe Time, on Time. Mathematically speaking. Van Hollen -j- the Weekly = Ths Haverford News. 69 THE NEWS BOARD 70 THE UNION 71 THE MUSICAL CLUBS 72 HAVERFORD COLLEGE The Musical Clubs N LAST Class Day, when we saw the Seniors smuggling the Glee Club in to lend harmony to what was termed on the program Singing on the Steps by the Class, we realized the pride which a musical class should feel — and, beyond doubt, 1915 is such a class. In Freshman year, L. P. Crosman, Allen, Leiand and Falconer survived the strenuous weeding-out of the Glee Club Trials; while Brinton, Crosman, Howson and Shaffer made good in the Mandolin Club. Egolf, according to the vagaries of the artistic temperament, was a member at times and at times was not — but when he was, the critics held that he was as good as even the great Bob Locke. During this year, the first step toward resuming entente cordiale with Swarthmore was taken in a joint concert at which our hostile allies were, by common consent, routed. The following year, Hendricks and Taylor also added to our prestige in the Glee Club and Allen became an integral part of both clubs. The posters for our concert at Lehigh were entitled Music Test and the Haverford aggregation earned an A. In Junior year, Helveston, Shaffer and Vail joined the already large representation from 1915 in the Glee Club, which Allen led, and Turner made the Mandolin. The Atlantic City and Merchantville trips proved more than enough amusement to compensate for the long evenings of practice. Our Senior year saw the addition of Baird and McCracken to the Glee Club. Taylor and Howson were the leaders of the Glee and Mandolin Clubs respectively and probably never before had the Haverford musical clubs reach ' such a high pitch of efficiency. College interest has been strong and the enthusiastic rivalry which characterized the tria ' - for places argues continued excellence in future years. LLOYD HALL 74 HAVERFORD COLLEGE The Cap and Bells Club ' f HE Class of 1915 has contributed more memljers to the Capj and Bells Club than any other class since the club started. During our hieshman year the club gave two perforrriances, The Dark Lady of the Sonnets and Le Medecin Malgrr Lui in which W. H. Leland and L. P. Crosman took parts. Both were elected at the Annual Meeting that year, and the latter wa:, made Assistant Treasurer and continued in that office for three years. In Sophomore year The Importance of Being Earnest was given and we were represented by the two men of Freshman year and also by P. C. Hendricks. Hendricks, Samuel Wagner, Jr., and P. R. Allen were elected during this year. Engaged was the play given by the Club on our Junior Night. Leland was the only Junior in the cast. Leland and Crosman took leading parts in a musical parody on a scene from Romeo and Juliet written by G. C. Theis, ' 15. During both Junior and Senior years, N. B. Coleman showed ability as a manager and Wagner was active in genera! club work. M. H. Weikel wrote a play of merit and was elected to the club with H. A. Howson, and K. P. A. Taylor. We were all too busy to take part in the dramatics of Senior year but the class was very active in other branches of work for the club and Hendricks was made Vice F ' resident. THE INFIRMARY 7C nil.

MMkUMW WMMMM IKHill frP«,r U«a 78 HAVERFORD COLLEGE Athletics HANKS to the coaching of Mike Bennett, our light, inexperienced football team was pounded into a well-trained unit. The schedule was not easy and I we met defeat three times out of eight, but the great game with the Swarthmorons, L though a bitter disappointment, was not a defeat. The scores: Haverford vs. Washington, 9-0; N. Y. U., 7-13; Stevens, 38-0; F. M., 0-14; Hopkins, Swarthmore, 3-3. In the class series the Soph-Fresh game was not played and 191) won the Wogglebug Championship. The gym team met with considerable success under Captain Taylor ' s leadership. Th- scores ran as follows: Haverford vs. Annapolis, 10-44; Columbia, 37-17; N. Y. U., 33-21 ; Penn, 22-32. Taylor, Bowman and Votaw were the contributions from our class. In soccer it seemed to be as unfortunate a year for us as it was an exceptionally good year for the other colleges. Captain Van Hollen ' s men scored as follows: Haverford vs. Princeton, I -I; Cornell, 0-3; Columbia, 0-4; Harvard. 0-1; Penn, 0-3; Yale. 2-0. In the class series. 1915 won the championship. During the winter, Swarthmore made the mistake of challenging us to a swimming meet. Our team, hastily made up for the occasion, met them in their own pool and crawled to victory, 31-22. Captain Hallett called out his track men early in the Spring and he and Jack Keough prophesy that Swarthmore will receive a more thorough defeat than that of two years ago The cricket team, profit no by their expericr.ces on the other side, promises to be a record-breaker and Captain Brinton and Manager Taylor have arranged a Cricket Week to follow the close of college. For the first time, baseball has been put on an organized footing, a club has been formed, of wh ' ch Farr was elected President, and a series of games arranged. 79 SO 81 R2 84 85 THE ARCH AND CRICKF.T SHED 8G HAVERFORD COLLEGE e ,;i I ! .11 (■[!) NLY when the good ship Minnehaha had dropped her pilot and the shores of America were fading in 7 the distance did the boys reahze that the great trip was really on. Some of the more progressive spirits had I ) already spotted some other passengers who they thought could help in passing the nine days which must Jy elapse before England was reach ed and before the setting of the sun on the first day we were able to introduce the rest of the crowd. (Too great thanks cannot be given to Dr. and Mrs. Barrett in this connection.) TTie next day was largely spent in getting acclimated and the morning practice on the forward deck, the regular deck sports, and other sports were in full swing. The College representatives cleaned up in most of the deck sports in the two-day tournament. After dinner each evening the crowd gathered for a little singing and such paraphrases as: Here ' s to Captain Claret in the Minnehaha Garret, we amused the other passengers as well as ourselves. On several evenings the moonlight proved too much for one or two and Mr. Cope was much worried by their absence. There was no sickness though Coleman and Will Webb almost succeeded in kidding each other into that state. There were many amusing episodes in our travels through England — the chief of whicli being a certain occasion when one of our members forgot his chemise de nuit. He was somewhat flustered on having tea served at seven the next morning. The King ' s Arms Hotel could relate a thrilling tale of discovery and escape which would read like a romance. After our victory at Eton, Mr. Cope created no little amusement by throwing his hat far out in the field and then, entering the pavilion, was seen to shake his fist at a picture of one of their venerable cricketers and mutter: I have been waiting twenty years for this! Christy, with his never- failing good nature and his parties, was beloved by all, both masculine and feminine, and he just about owned the taxi-cab business while we were in London. Undoubtedly we should have won more matches but on looking backward we have nothing to regret and much of which to be proud. In closing , let me thank once more those two gentlemen who managed our trip so wisely and well and who made it possible for us to enjoy a summer which we shall never forget. W. C.

Seeing Haverford and recognizing congenial spirits, h - discontinued his southward flight and has sung amongst us all the year. Where- fore we are glad. Dr. Spiers predicted an unprecedented success for the Glee Club as soon as Donald tried out for the same. It was in no slight measure owing to Baird that his prophecy was fulfilled. Not only can Don sing in many tongues, he can also eat in them. For a while he ate his meals in Italian. Then the French table was started. He has been eating in French ever since. It is true that for a week he looked somewhat emaciated, but his health soon picked up — with his French. In the early Fall, this one and that asked, What is Baird like? And this one and that was answered, He is a gentleman, has read much in books, and what with his singing and his company we are well pleased with him. Go thou and get to know him. 101 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD EDGAR MILTON BOWMAN Be Few of us can forget our first introduction to Bowie. On one of the very earliest evenings of our collegiate career, when we — WE — attired as September Morn, faced the derisive howls of the Freshman Entertainment, Bow was the per- sonification of Tyranny. Armed with a dirty cloth and a pail of water he exer- cised a loo enthusiastic censorship over our smiles. Whisper it, friends — but L. G. once was fresh. Inconceivable as it may seem, his solicitous comrades have more than once ridden him on a pole. Aw, fellers, these are my best clothes. Let us omit his hasty words of wrath as he brought that same pole down upon the head of Weikel. We think of Bow particularly as a student. What a figure he used to make in Phil. I. — one foot on the chair in front of him, chest thrown out, hands folded Napoleon-fashion behind him, as he gave, word for word, all that James knew about the fringe. Prizes were as meat and drink to him — Bib. Lit., Math, and the Garrett contributed to his library — and as we go to press he is not done yet — ipse dixit. In Freshman year the denizens of third floor South would listen breathlessly to his heavy tread as he strode down the corridor toward breakfast and then would rush to his room and copy his math problems. Many thanks. Bow. Bowie is the most popular fellow in the class — with the faculty. When a professor says, TTiat will do for today, he immediately looks at Bow — for Edgar invariably rolls up to give teacher an apple or shyly ask a question. Louis delivers Bow ' s mail in Spitzie ' s room, for our embryo professor of Romance Languages is as much a fixture there as the familiar and disordered round table. Thanks to the appreciation he receives from the powers that be, he will return next year — to be a sturdy monument to 1915 and a joy to the heart of his beloved preceptor. 102 HAVERFORD COLLEGE WALTER CARROLL BRINTON Keedle A precious heritage from Westtown, Keedle appeared among us smilmg and revealing his gold band. The gold band, with the aid of six classmates and a tooth-brush, was eliminated early in the game, but the smile still has all the magnetism which has made Keedle one of the best-liked men in the class. As politician, Keedle has ever been the level-headed spokesman of the North Barclay coterie. His conscientious scruples against the destruction of the Fresh- man cake were our mystery and our admiration. The melancholy ease with which he garnered cricket laurels has placed Keedle on the pinnacle of fame. Who of us will not cherish the vision of Keedle ' s flat-footed delivery, and who of us so unfortunate as not to have heard the ghastly rattle of the stumps behind us and seen Keedle ' s kindly face before? Some of us may lament his phlegmatic indifference to politics, baseball and Phil, v., and some there are who have marveled that twenty-four hour toothache? have cast a pall over a brilliant young mind, but those of us who are privileged to know the Keedle of fireside oratory, musical club dances, and college spirit — well, tve know! 103 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD GALLOWAY CHESTON CAREY Chetty This scion of Southern aristocracy, along with John, claims to be a bred in the bone Haverfordian ; along with Gummere, he constitutes another excuse for our existence. He is tall, broad- shouldered and debonair, affecting a distinguished walk not unlike the walk of the Dodo — its chief advantage consists in getting its user over the ground with the least amount of effort. Chetty early showed that he was of the stuff of cavaliers and many are the fair hearts that have fallen prey to his melodious neck haber- dashery and that warm Southern drawl — which, when it burst into song, was absolutely captivating. Chetty is of the old school, generous to a fault and with a sense of personal honor and self-respect which he has in no way tarnished while at college. Who will ever forget Cheston wob- bling into class, minus socks, shave and soap, but with it all a serenity and calm unruffled by things mundane? Gentlemen fhould have valets. Chetty and the faculty are on easy terms. With the President he has had a long controversy as to the merits and demerits of the cigarette. Chetty was for the cigar- ette and has practised what he preached. The controversy ended in smoke. With his Uncle Allen Chetty quaffs a friendly cigar but has thus far fail ed to interest him in either auction bridge or poker. Chetty ' s great opportunity for winning the favors of his Aunt were lost when he failed to pay his respects to her at the Bryn Mawr deanery on Class Banquet night. We all much regret this — except Chetty. Chetty is quite a lion when aroused and we will not forget his captaincy of the Wogglebug football team and his playing in class soccer games. 104 HAVERFORD COLLEGE NELSON BADER COLEMAN ' Coley ' tht and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, first and the last. (Rev. 1. 11-12.) When Coley reaches Heaven old Gabriel will have to hump some to keep his job, for when it comes to noise-making Coley can go one better, barrmg none. And -BNDIH HISTIHE ' PLAYED • M . N Y ■ P RT s when il comes to kidding, Coley can guarantee all degrees of misery from Job to Lazarus. TTie biblical simile ends at that. Having disposed of a very prominent part of Coley, we will now describe some much more im- portant parts. Coley is a whole-hearted, good- natured big boy who wouldn ' t harm a fly (espe- cially since he could make any self-respecting fly much more miserable by some such remark as — Say, Cull, where was you dragged up? ' ) But the worst is that he can make himself quite agree- able. Coley has also one violent prejudice — against all Englishmen. He even went so far as to refuse to bat against them in the recent cricket trip to England. Yes, he ' s quite an athlete — he was on both the Varsity soccer and cricket teams. Coley ' s magnificent voice and handsome ptT- sonality won for him the position of Cheer Leader In Senior year, while his hard headed business methods ran the musical clubs with credit both to him and to the college. Now that we understand Coley, we see under all his actions a frankness and honesty which is a rarity in our sophisticated college life. His supera- bundance of energy has found its proper channels and we no longer wonder at the metamorphosis of the boy from Scranton to quite a perfect gen- tleman — from Haverford. 105 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD EDWARD NEWTON CROSMAN, JR. Eddn The first of an illustrious line of round-headed Crosmans who are to be seen daily slouching about the campus under the weight of their athletic and social honors. Eddie is also first cousin of — but there, recognition is sought by neither. The progress of years has left our Eddie ' s countenance undimmed by worldly cares. In the throes of recent events he showed himself to possess the same genial philosophy which in Freshman year brought him wealth as a Barking Dog agent, and the wrath of the Dean as an Epicurean over-cutter. Eddie ' s watchful waiting behind the stumps has resulted in disaster for more than one ambitious batsman, while his treatment of English bowling is said to have been disrespectful to a degree. As football manager, Eddie was the first to operate on an equal plane with the guardian of the A. A. funds. As student, the departure of Karl put a crimp in his understanding of Me- chanics; as a provider of banquet provender, we yield him the palm; and as a good fellow in general, Eddie is second to none. 106 HAVERFORD COLLEGE LORING PICKERING CROSMAN Sa Saco is a distinclly moral man — as Heaven goes. There are other moral men — as the world goes. Loring is like one of the great watersheds of Psychology, oi Ethics class. On one side of him are the booze-fighters, the dancers, the card-players, the light and frivolous. On the other side are the Christians. Saco is in Maine. Entirely unencumbered with any debilitating or disturbing habits, with his principles already well-defined, and little of the cussedness of human frailty to deter him, Saco has taken part in a tremendous amount of activity at Haverford. His cold-headed business ability won him a place on the managerial staff of the Haverfordian, his executive ability placed him in the controllmg councils of nearly every college activity. His histrionic talent made him a mainstay of the Cap and Bells. His moral worth and his power as an executive put into his hands the destiny of the Y. M. C. A. The undeviating nature of his progress toward glory has been a bone in the craw to many poor sinners. He had l)een so out- rageously good that it didn ' t seem right. So we thought until he went to Atlantic City with the Glee Club. His brazen incursion into an unsuspecting lady ' s room, under the cloak of a pretended mistake, opened our eyes. We saw at last how he had succeeded in living amongst us. Mr. Hyde had shown up, and Dr. Jekyll ' s abstinence from wickedness had been explamed. He is now trying to win back his reputation. He has even ceased to brood over the awful hoax he played upon the college when he invited it to hear his friend Mr. Sunday, and then turned all the promised seats over to a bevy of other friends from Bryn Mawr. We all admi re Saco m spite of our chaff, and admit without a quaver that he means right. FWST ® rrnit SURPRISED arTHEftftrH ' 107 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD EMMETT REID DUNN Dixie, Professional Southerner. ' Our last Vice President is a very quiet and retiring sort of individual. But then the hardest thing to find is a diamond. He who climbs to the roomy eyrie where Dixie sits amidst the clouds of Whip ' s tobacco smoke will find he is amply repaid for the toil of the ascent. Dixie will talk about snakes if he is asked, but lie has other interests. With Felix, Whipple, and three or four more, he had read more than any one else in the class when he came to Haverford. He remembers some of his reading and can talk as a cultured Southerner should. With Morris, Oscar Wilde, and A. E. Housman, Dixie has left a record of his sojourn in metrical expression. Can the world forget his readiness to go Hell ' s whole hot length away for a pair of gray eyes in Sophomore year? And what obscure mortal has not thrilled to the Ballade of One Way — that of a maid with a man ? Emmett ' s middle name is Reid. With the pro- fessor of that name he has managed to keep the mathematical course in a fair state of efficiency. Under the disguise of a teaching fellow, Dixie will continue to apply his efforts in this direction after we, as a class, have departed. The Scientific Society owes much to Dixie ' s acquaintance with the tempter of Eve. The snake has imparted some of its wisdom concerning things biological to the Southerner, and every week from his seat in the dining-room he arises to announce that the society is still in existence and holding its meetings. Dixie plays tennis. It is not as an athlete, however, but as an educated gentleman that we leave him at Haverford to represent our class. 108 HAVERFORD COLLEGE PAUL HEWLETT EGOLF If the career of any one of us has resembled that it has been that of the Terrible Dane. Whether he Jarl, Egg of a comet in its brilliant and regardless course through (he skies, is a troubadour or a warrior he has never openly acknowledged. This much we know — he might have been a troubador if he had not wished to be a warrior and to devote his energy to the harassing of Dixie and to the hurling of invective. Tliat he did not remain with us long enough to afford the spectacle of a diploma disdainfully snatched from the gentle hand of Isaac is a disappointment. He would have taken his deserts as a Jarl should. The caustic comment of his wit and the prolific product of his pencil enriched Haverford ' s only satirical magazine. With Turner he tried by means of the Scarlet to eliminate the enforced attendance at Thursday meeting, so obnoxious to a free soul. Unfortunately the effort failed and the engine of reform was turned over to lower classmen for the worthier purpose of reforming the habits of Freshmen. His one great blow for religious freedom having been in vain, and the restrictions of the class room galling this proud spirit even more than meeting, the Jarl looked abroad with eagle eyes ujxin the world. Mid- way in Senior year he stood before Merion. A motorcycle wa at his feet. His eyes shone in demoniac glee through the glazed windows of his goggles. With unconscious ease he twiddled the cap of his gasoline tank, and gazed long at the sky-line over against Barclay. With slow and firm gravity he drew out hi« handkerchief — and put it back. He drew on his gloves. Sweeping the assembled throng of three with a disdainful glance, he put one foot on the pedal and spurned the ground with th other. Tlie machine moved, wobbled and stood still. A curse left the Jarl ' s curline lips. Taking a small instrument from his pocket he knelt to his fellow demon of the road. In three minutes he remounted. The cycle coughed. Four fingers and a thumb were in close proximity to a distinguished nose — and the Jarl had gone. The throng of three laughed, shook their heads and went to dinner. 109 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD C ' RUS FALCONER Cy Bible Cy IS so richer cryingly good that a simile to express him must needs be taken from the Bible — or the Survey. The for the present, and then we are led irresistibly to compare him with David. David filled his little sling and went against the Philistine giant. Cyrus slings his fill and goes against Penrose, John Barleycorn, and other enemies of the chosen of society. His political agitations during the Fall elections, his denunciations of booze campaigns about Montgomery County, with Champlin, McCracken, and occa- sionally President Sharpless also present, during the Winter, and his careful tending of anaemic nasturtiums on his window- sill in the early Spring, round out the major activities of the Falconer. His constant and commendable piloting of the Civics Club amidst the deep waters of Socialism, Woman Suffrage, Social Work, et al., has been more his very existence than an activity. He has been kind enough to share some of his vigorous and expurgated English with newly arrived Ital- ians in the fens of Ardmore, and has been closely connected with every movement for the uplift of Haverford or of the world since he entered. Judging from the fumigant concerns of Cyrus, we should believe his intentions to be world-wide reform. But the gentle life of a country patriarch is the dominant desire of our sturdy giant-killer. He will be a farmer — but polygamy among the poultry may need to be adjusted — no, wiped out ! Compromise is a term of the devil ' s. Cyrus will make a good farmer. He has the physical stamina required for the job, as well as the moral strength to be a patriarch. To see the energy and fire with which he plays soccer with five braces on one poor damaged knee, is to realize how subordinate and obedient the body may be made. Cyrus is capable of ruling himself, as well as of ruling the world. For that reason do we respect him, and willingly dub him Cyrus the Great. 110 HAVERFORD COLLEGE EDWARD LINCOLN FARR, JR. Ed- Mayor Cavalier par excellence, with a one-year preparatory course under two past masters imported at great expense from Harvard. Ed is much addicted to baseball, golf, the National game, and running for the class presidency. He is the co-author with Eddie Crosman of that much-reviewed hunt- ing story, The Majestic Trail of the Blue Arrow, and was a great friend of the Dutchman ' s, from which combination many new tales of the Arabian Nights emanated. His slice system for driving is as yet unanalyzable. He confesses to the enjoyment of two cami meeting hymns entitled Tlie Old Zinc Telegraph Pole and Mrs. Adrienne. Being the possessor of the only football H in our present ranks, we are all very proud of him. Ed engages actively in baseball but has once stoop ed so low in his own estimation as to be persuaded to play a game of cricket. He stands in with Rufe and out with Prexy, and, with Levis, upholds the honor of the G. O. P. in Rayner ' s History Symposium. He has abandoned his former carefree life with the coming of Senior year and, bowed down with the respon- sibilities of the Baseball Association and the track manager- ship, we only catch fleeting glimpses of a hard-working Ed. But, be it the serious or gay Mayor, we are always glad to have him with us as a friend. And in conclusion we must sadly prophesy for his future occupation that of a political leader back in his native swamp. Ill NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD JOHN WESTCOTT GUMMERE Jack ' I m PETRIFIED WITH FEAR ANX THE FiRiT Time , To (DDI E s Long Jawn — Mayor, Board of Trade, Local Option League, Constabulary, and future Pastor of dear old Bur- lington-on-Delaware — smiled down on us from his dizzy height on a September afternoon in 1911 and has continued to ,,- — -„. smile with the single intent of making these four college years as bright as they are generally reputed to be. To the reader of • ij j ' Sjl destinies Jack is an open book. The zeal with which he is seen to divest himself of his garments in favor of soccer garb while sprinting from Phil. V. to Lloyd Hall; and the awful solemnity with which he shattered the tradition of years by lamenting his neglect to bring Collier ' s to Meeting — these make us tremble for ( Kvl Burlington ' s evil doers. Yet some of us who remember the sad condition of Jack on a certain morning of Freshman year may surmise that the man of iron has his human side. Jack ' s record of seventeen minutes from Haverford to Burlington on Friday afternoons, his partiality for Brook ' s Bros. Best, his abomination of phi- losophy and the sciences, and above all his eye for the winsome maid, convince us that few spots in Burlington may attain more historic prominence than the vine-clad manse where the Watch- ful Dummere will eke out his golden days. U2 HAVERFORD COLLEGE GRORGE HERVEY HALLETT • ' Ja George is our sole exponent of red hair and holiness. He has high ideals and lives up to them and hop)es to clear six feet this Spring. Many of us have seen him as he take; that little preliminary hop and slides over the handkerchief, arms and legs a-flying. But get up some April morning at about 4 A. M. and go with Javi ' ge to hear the birdies sing. The cold grey dawn is no mythological entity to Hallett. He hears the owl scream and the crickets cry and the sleepy little sparrows waking up in the bushes. Oh. Hew, says he, there ' s a chippy! Honi soit, etc. Yet he has been known to smile at jokes which were dubious to say the least and at Tang ' s first party he quite gave way. There is a certain story about Theis, Hallett, and the Rathskeller which is, alas, no more. But George says he only ate the pretzels. Tliis year George has been running a chicken farm in Ard- more. And many an otherwise staid person has thereby met his downfall — Whipple ' s sad lapse, Votaw ' s wild and pathetic attempts, and the discovery of Dixie ' s long-lost cousin, are all to be laid at Hallett ' s door. If only George would go in for Law instead of Math., we should expect his head to furnish one of the Beacon Lights of History — but no — His mind is full of indices and surds. X- -H 7X + 53== 113 113 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD HAROLD WILLIAM HELVESTON Hell Here we have the man from Jenkintown — the only original now you see it and now you don ' t. Here today and gone tomorrow. He emerges from his primeval wilderness, gets seven other devils, one of whom White is which, and , -- ' retires into the darkness. Hell used to dream of South America and the little senoritas. He even went so far as to get a letter of introduction to the Bishop of Brazil. But that was before he started selling things to the unsuspecting aborigines at Haver ford. Now he is firmly convinced that the one every second proverb is as true as ever — and keeps his clock wound up. Argentina is not even a dream now. Hell is a man with a past — he and Felix and Willow Grove. But Felix is off that stuff and our lips are sealed. Also his marital relations are com- plex and difficult to unravel — (I) Wife and residence in Jenkintown. (2) The breakmg-away period, bachelor quarters in South Barclay. (3) Liaison ' ._ with a young blond, nee McKmstry. (4) Married to a pious spouse, Elsie Crosman. Hell is another of the group, as Doc Watson would say, who proved that man is not prone to fly upward like the sparks. He and Volaw foileci each other to their hearts ' content at C. E. — while others — but that is another story. But he is really a horticulturist. The prevalent ditty about a tulip makes him blush and he is thoroughly able to explain even the unnoticed parts of the Lotos. The unfailing good humor with which he drinks all the hot water is only one of his many likeable traits. Always ready to meet smile with smile, good humor with good humor. Hell (proper) will as soon freeze over as Helveston. 114 HAVERFORD COLLEGE PAUL CRAIG HENDRICKS Paul. He - x -, TTie Fountain of Youth has been found. Would you see its effects? Gaze upon the peaches-and-cream complexion that graces Hen. Would you know its location? Enter the second door on the left of third floor South. Thither Paul wends his way, jug in hand, every fourteen minutes of the day. A stein on the table is as necessary to his studies as a toolbox to a Ford. When the marks come out we wish that n c had imbibed more of that same Pierian spring. P. C. didn ' t lose his Corp. till Rogers took a swim in the tank. What wonder? The Cap and Bells is his long suit. Behind the footlights he shows the same self-possession that Turner displays in answering a question he knows nothing about. Nor is he satisfied to be our collegiate John Drew — as assistant manager and then manager he guided that club with a firm hand and kept Spitzy in (he way he should go. Hen is going to be a lawyer and, if Govt. III. is any criterion, he will be more than a mere lawyer. Some day, gentle reader, if you stray from the straight and narrow, he will glare at you from his lofty desk and snap, What ' s the charge, officer? If you want to know anything about Blackstone, ask Doc Bolles — and he ' ll ask Hendricks. Paul is one of those rather frequent animals known as an omnivorous reader. Excepting tracts on TTie History of Quakerism, the library cannot compare with his room. All the latest magazines are arranged in orderly rows. If you find a Red Book under the cushion of his chair, you mustn ' t take that — he hasn ' t finished it ; but as for those on his table it is — Sure! Help yourself and don ' t bother to bring em back! Beyond a doubt Paul is to be numbered among our public bene- factors. 115 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD THOMAS HOOPES. JR. Tom, Hooper ' Tom came into our midst as Chest Wester ' s representative to succeed Wm. Yarnall, the previous pride of the town. Tom ' s fondness for his native town may be deduced from the way in which he daily buries himself behind a copy of the Hometown Bugle. There is a saying that some choose roommates, some refuse room- mates and some have roommates thrust upon them. Tom was blessed with Jerry Hill. The furniture of the room consisted of ( I ) a three- legged couch, (2) a chair, (3) a table — and has since been known as Jerry ' s Hell from various volcanic eruptions followed by a crash of glass, a long form sliding gracefully out of the window and loping off to parts unknown. The fact that his milk of human kindness did not sour is testimony to Tom ' s kindly disposition. He was one of the small class who were much interested in Kelly ' s astronomy in Sophomore year (for details, see Jim or Dr. Wil- son). His favorite sports are golf and fan-tan — and the perusal of an exciting tale entitled Wrapped in a Turkish Rug. He has shown a firm determination through Senior year to resist temptation in all forms and was most unjustly entangled with the office just before Easter, but convicted under a rtom de plume (see Evening Bulletin ). Although he is suspected of being on the calling list of the W. C. Normal School, sleuths have brought back no other reports than languishing glances cast from dormitory windows towards the driver of the car. However, Tom is a conscientious worker and a dependable one — attacking theses at times with all the vigor he bestows on a Baby Dimple. And if in the future you should observe someone attached to an old blue-and-coffee colored necktie you may know that it is Tom — or the Janitor. 116 HAVERFORD COLLEGE HUBERT ABBE HOWSON ' Sook, Hoob Our one public character — he has never been known to shun the limelight and the blaze of glory will find him on hand with a fire-extinguisher. One of the proudest days of his life was when he received the resolution of thanks from Engineer- mg III. For hurtmg, harming and wilfully maltreating one lathe, one plane, and one circular saw. He has been heard to state that the one thing which marred his pleasure on that memor- able occasion was being compelled to assist Ike in explaining to every fireman in Ardmore and Bryn Mawr the wherefore of Why in Hell ain ' t there no fire plugs? But he had his reward — fame was thrust upon him by all. Even the sainted Longstreth made him the subject of an epigram. He was present at the abortive gvm fire and led the forlorn hope into the cellar of Barclay to find where the smoke was coming from. The mishap at the fire near Haverford School, where he made connections with a large amount of elec- tricity by trying to use the phone, is notorious. The Mandolin Club would have lost its peerless leader there, had it not been for Knowl- ton, the best pickled Boy Scout in America. Sook has not hid his light under a bushel. He went to Cooper- town in the wake of the Bailies and Holly Parker. His fond and paternal management of Preston has been much admired. It is rumored that at least two happy couples owe their happiness to him. Hoob is a conscientious lamb — e. g., the football game when he pursued the referee shouting I did it, I fouled him! It has been said that he is so apologetic that he may be conceived at the Pearly Gates saying to Pete, Sorry, old man, didn ' t mean to disturb you — I ' ll try the other place. If you want to see him rave, sav Harlem. Evidently it hits him where he lives. But if in trouble I ; — I VTiM ' . ' ° ' ° Howson and he will lay everything aside and do his best 1 1 ' Wk V ' J for you and make you feel that he enjoys doing it. 117 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD WILLIAM HENRY LELAND Count, Harry Whirr! Whiz! Zip! What was that which flashed by at such terrific speed? TTiat, my son, was the Count. Where is he going in such a fearful hurry? He is going to the bathroom to get a drink of water. Is it because he has not tasted water in a long while, or because he craves water inordinately? No, my son, he drinks water occasionally as do other mortals. Why, then, does he rush? My son, nobody knows. Always he hurries, always he runs, never is he still. Some day he may get there. He holds the rapid fire cut record. He will cut with equal glee to go to the movies. Grand Opera or the Gayety, or even to sit in a little game at 1 A. M. While he consistently tips Charlie (of the old Rat ) Vs, he practises economy by walkmg from Overbrook at least once a week. A connoisseur of Havana perfectos, poultry and ragtime, he is never seen without a copy of Ellen Key ' s third book in his hip pocket — unless the pocket is otherwise occupied. We all know him for his harmonious tenor, and we admire his faithful doglike worship of Dr. Kelsey — ah, there indeed is idolatry! But my good- ness! you should see him disguised as an elderly female! He never said so himself, but we are morally certain that the Cap and Bells would have fallen flat without him in more than one case. Due perhaps to a sense of future responsibility or, sh! because of that little picture in the silver frame, he threw on the brakes Senior year and — that ' s all right, calm yourself, we ' re not going to say he studied or anything foolish like that — undertook the stupendous job of engineering this Book through a hard times year. And well he did his work. Guided by a firm conviction of the ultimate triumph of Germany in the war, he garnered ads by the bushel, and this book which you hold in your hands is mute testimony to the Count ' s ability to accomplish anything he sets out to do. 118 HAVERFORD COLLEGE EDWARD MAGARGF. LEVIS Levi, Megargee ' In Freshman year Levi was like the proverbial x about which he was so fond of studying — in fact he has such a liking for Math in general and Prof. Reid in particular that he has devoted much of his time to this science. When all other recreations failed, he was one of two who could rouse Jrrry from a lethargy to the state of a raging inferno. This sport was very popular. He was present at the performance of The Miracle by a neighboring Senior in that year. He possesses a very flexible face which he uses to advantage in expressing his moods. One favorite view afforded when arising from sleep has led to his cognomen of the Wrath of Jahveh. He holds the class record as the possessor of the sloppiest room in college — one of the kind through which you must sap, mine and excavate to find your way. He was once interned in the Infirmary where he sought to amuse himself by throwing his crutches through the glass door! Watch Levis and Miss Hartwig when they meet ! He still grieves over a great loss sustained on Chestnut Street during Sophomore year. Bowie knows something of this, we are sure. He is a voracious devourer of the best literature, which he divides into three classes — (1) Current Modern Stuff — Snappy Stories, Blue Book, Ginger Jar, etc., (2) Middle English Mu=hy Stuff — Donne, Suckling, Lovelace, etc., (3) Great French Masters — Musset, Balzac, and De Maupassant. He also reads the agony column in the Bulletin which leads us to infer that he has been blighted in love. His vivid coloring on hear:ng certain initials would confirm this, although he is generally considered an ideal bachelor. His great exertions in scholastic duties have driven him to dope — and his daily needs now call for three shots of Bromo. The high grades which he pulls with little exertion can only be the results of the same brilliant min d which prenared that voluminous Ec. report on his future trade — Paper — Wall, Cigarette, News and Otherwise. NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD HARLAN LINNEUS McCRACKEN ••Ma As Dr. Pratt used to say in Biology VII., Deus creavil, Linneus dis- posuit, so much for that. Mac has the argumentative procHvities of the wily and delusive Falconer and like him he fell for Doc Watson w ith a dull and sickening thud. But, with all Mac ' s debating powers, he has never been able to brmg himself to take any side out of contrariness and the joy of the game. It is not a game with him, it is deadly earnest. Who but Mac would go to the Gayety, the resort of all sufferers from Wellschmerz, and on his return retail all the horrible details to those assembled in Y. M. C. A. Save for Lonng ' s little josh at the Junior Banquet, Mac is our only Benedict. He is also connected with Loring by the link of the Glee Club. His songs have delighted Preston, Manayunk and the Merion C. C. and uncorked the vials of Edgar ' s wrath at 1 1 :00 P. M. Mac is pure but not unsophisticated. What a young man ought to know — he knows it. Sylvanus Stall and Dr. Hall (not Lyman Beecher) are twin pillars of hs library. And who could forget Mac as Sherlock Holmes when he unearth?d the great White Slave and Corrupter of Youth Plot, which was stalking abroad under the guise of getting subscriptions to Judge and Harper ' s Weekly? Not for nothing has Mac read the only book on traps in the college library, namely, • ' Traps for the Young, by Anthony Comstock. But, all joking aside, we feel that Mac will steer clear of traps himself and help many another to get out and stay out, for such is the nature of McCracken. 120 HAVERFORD COLLEGE JOSEPH McNeill Ma The lost sheep who reads in Meeting realizes full well that Long Jawn Gummere is shaping his steps to l e a follower of the Lord, but perhaps it is not generally known that his fellow sufferer in Hebrew A. is likewise an embryo divine. This is because Mac is a very quiet fellow, and yet if every man could find as good company v ithin his skin the world would set no premium upon hermits. Nevertheless it is not always so. Freshman Year Mac roomed in South. So did Bo How- son, and the disgraceful orgies at Preston, Cooper- town, etc., offer explanation for the transient spells of Fenianism incarnate which still sweep occasion- ally over Marion and the Union. When Mac relaxes, this temperament is better r evealed. There are strident shrieks for Cy, together they hie them to the gym and forthwith engage in furious pugi- listic contests. Both are bantams, but what of that? Little, but Oh, My! said somebody of Napoleon. Moreover, who in ' I 5 will ever forget the role Mac played in our Junior Cricket and Senior Soccer games. TTiere is a pretty creek called the Wissa- hickon, and there is a canoe on it of wtiich Mac is part owner, and that he is the proud possessor of a tenor voice all Merion can attest, and on soft May evenings the Hebrew Grammar and the Platonic Dialogues mourn undisturbed seclusion and — but why continue? On such a night do all roads lead to roam. Besides Mac keeps it more or less secret. Indeed in our class there is no man held in greater esteem; more uniformly resf ected. Con- scientious as El wood recording cuts; thorough as the Count on an amateur Vice Commission; steadfast as Megarge in Freshman Math; refined as Tobe when dining with the President. — all these attributes and many more belong to Mac. A true scholar and a gentleman. 121 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD EDWIN LAWTON MOORE Cap, Fungo ' Well, Lawton, how are the guinea pigs? This Priapus of (he Bug. Lab. is our one and only hairy Ainu. Tobe got homesick when he first saw him. Lawton ' s activities are many and they cover a wide range. I make such a motion, or Seven No-Trumps. This is only a bare idea. Shall we speak of his Senior mustache, the despair of Shaffer, or of the time when Dr. Pratt nearly had him arrested for stealing the Bug. Lab. Library, or of his guinea pigs which initiated many of us into the mysteries of life and death? Achilles, Ethel, Hector, and Valeska — those grand old names are but memories now, having served to point one of Babbitt ' s lectures or adorn an innoculation cage in the Chem. Lab. basement. After the guinea pigs, Moore went bugs — 47 bottles a-hanging on the wall. But all these are mere trifles. Moore loves the cows and chickens. The Plymouth rock IS not stern to him; the Leghorn never gores Lawton; and the BufI Orpington has never rebuffed — all right, we ' ll stop there. But if the guinea pigs were chiefly noted for inaction, the bugs were not thus but far otherwise. Shaff announced to Moore that he was a grandfather before the astonished Pal knew that the first generation had seen light. Lawton has fallen under the spell of the Babbitt and th.e long afternoons of Biology V. Lab. have been enlivened by graphic descriptions of James ' lectures. Only the austere Klock has refused to succumb to the charm of these Contes. 122 HAVERFORD COLLEGE FELIX MUSKETT MORLEY Felix On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Felix is a student. On Saturday he is a literateur. On any afternoon of these days he holds himself ready to prove that he is no muff at athletics. On Sunday he swanks up a hit and conducts . M. C. A. Then on Monday he begins and does it all over again. So he manages to do many thmgs m one way — the way o man who, know- ing what he wants, goes and gets it. In this way he has held a Corporation scholarship, and won scholastic prizes by work of the five-day period; has won literary prizes and bedecked the Haver- fordian through Saturday ' s labor; and by the toil of h is afternoons has won a place on every class team. He has swanked himself in the class presidency and a few other important offices through the ability which on Sunday enables him to ease the Y. M. C. A. through the wide seas of the spirit. So much for the solid basis of the man with the inimitable style. Felix had a love affair last February. A tramp steamer sailed up the Delaware when he was riding back and forth on the Camden ferry, to be near the water. He raved and languished alternately until he found a way of easing his mind by sailing chips in Darby Creek, and quoting W. W. Jacobs. For one who knows him, Felix furnishes an inexhaustible and delightful subject on which to write. But we will suspend the dis- cussion till he IS writen up in the Bookman or elsewhere. He is starting on a promising career, and so far has only received one reiection slip — and that was from the Atlantic Monthly, so what would you? By winning the Browning Society Prize, Felix has justified our prophecies. The Bookman and Baltimore papers please copy. 123 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD YOSHIO NITOBE Yo, Tobe- The misapplication of Kipling ' s slogan, East is East and West is West is one of Tobe ' s grievances when in a world-wide mood. Yet, were the dictum applied to two hemispheres, and not to two Indian provinces, Yo would prove its fallacy. East and West met a beautiful time in the quondam di- rector of the Haverfordian. The day drop[ ed from the calendar at 180 W. Longitude should have been preserved and used for o ' s birthday. Oriental fantasy and Occidental levity lap gently together in the speech of Tobe — speech as liquid and beautiful as the Pacific. Like the Pacific, too, Tobe ' s speech is bitter. It is bitter with the salt of human wisdom. It is bitter to him- who would listen and not go. To start a morning watch, to aid the Belgians, to carry the mes- sage of Christ to foreign lands, to have a cup and pipe and L — s, — are some of the termini of Yo ' s finished harangues. To Yo ' s enthusiasm we owe heightened appreciation of the world and the little gods that sit above. To Yo ' s despondencies — we are not admitted. To those who think of our Japanese school-boy in his earlier days, Quips and Cranks and wanton Wiles are plastered thickly on the horizon of his life, and the envelof)e of his spirit is obscured with artificial devices. But four years ' sojourn in an observant class has denied to our cosmopolitan member the freedom from discovery he sought for his prophetic soul. A freedom sought with perhaps a hint of Oriental impassiveness. Tobe has come amongst us bringing message of the mystery and wonder of the East. May his enthusiasm go with him in carrying greetings and good will to old Japan. 124 HAVERFORD COLLEGE EUGENE MORRIS PHARO Monk, Gene That neither football nor literature are held in high esteem at Westtown merely goes to show that for all men handicaps are not obstacles. It was no common progress started that first September day when Gene blushingly asked Mr. Murray if he might play football, running eight weeks later to a triumphant close in the much prized football cup. And though neither Gene nor the Cup were again promment in this sport the coincidence was nothing more than natural. A bad knee accounted for the former. We had said bad need also explained the cup ' s demise were it not the onus of biographers to be assumed veracious. The other field of endeavor has been more uniformly conquered. Glance through the four last volumes of the Haverfordian, — for all of ihem Gene has been a literary arbiter — and mark the evolution from the very tenuous verse of Fresh- man year to the amorous throbs of today ' s accom- plished biblio[ hile. He roomed with Felix then. Now they are again united, bound by the common ambition of moving the college library to Merion. Miss Ineall ' s chief duty is tabulating their depredations with constant sheaves of notices, and if you waylay William he will gladly tell of Mistah Pharo and his liberry cards. To the great world Gene is often reticent. If you would know him better, droo around some winter evening, and there at graceful ease before the dying embers you will find your true Bohemian. Vestment the antithesis of Kuppen- heim ideals, moribund pumps clinging to the toes of sky-blue hosiery, a trusty pipe, the P. A. for which even now some loved volume is facing martyrdom at Leary ' s, Le Gallienne and Oscar Wilde at hand, and best of all a smile on his lips which is a laugh to the beholder; — such i Gene for those fortunates who proudly call him friend. 125 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD ELMER SHAFFER Shafe ' Dr. Pratt ' s Cerberus — the living proof that it pays to advertise — see Biological Seminar and Central High School Club. Both of these are products of his fertile brain. Of the former he may truly say, Le Seminar, c ' esl moi. This is an evolution indeed from the days of the great party in the Center Barclay roof garden. It is said that Shaffer provided the girls, Coleman the noise. Turner the amusement, and Bill Hare and company also ran. An enjoyable time was had. The year after, however, Shafe went into confinement at Merion. The results of this have been quite apparent. I . B. K., runner-up for the Cope, and Rufe ' s one shadow of a great rock in a weary land. For it is to Shafe that Rufe always turns for consolation and confirmation in Phil. V. Also, Shafe tickles the strings in the Mandolin Club and was on the famous Championship Wogglebug team in Senior year. He has shone most, however, in track and none of us will forget the time he beat the unconvincible Bowse. His chief claim to notoriety is his worm. It took him to Cold Spring Harbor and it has set Harvard, Yale and Princeton contending for the pleasure of his company next year. In the Bug Lab, Shafe is a despot. His foot is on his native heath and he knows it. Moore is his pet particular prey and Shafe exhorts him to higher endeavor after the manner of Billy Sunday. Shafe is energy itself and some of us think he will be a second Weissmann or De Vries. In this, he has our good wishes and our confidence. 126 HAVERFORD COLLEGE MAN HOI TANG Musty. Man Hoi ' This precise business man from Canton, bearing with him all the reserve of the Middle Kingdom (he doesn ' t even remember the date of his birthday), became one of u s alter a preliminary rub-down in the Haverford nursery. We had the first inklings of how this Chinese puzzle worked at the Sopho- more entertainment in the Cricket pavilion. There the Muse of Song suddenly lit on Man Hoi like a dove and we were treated to a little preliminary speech in pidgeon English, and then, without more ado, he opened up his sampan for all she was worth. The song waf one in which flowed all the aspirations of the Revolution; we agreed with I ang that it was most appropriate for driving out the Manchus. It was Dr. Hancock, however, who discovered that 1 ang ' s real purple patch lay in his golden tongue; we will remember with pride his eloquent oration in the annual Oratorical Contest. In Soph yeai Tang decided that since he had to be a dam-d Soph-o- more ' he might as well take the whole course and do it up well, so he heroically picked out third floor. North, and resigned himself to the tendei mercies of Levis and Kling. These gentle tutors had daily sessions with him, at the conclusion of which they would play a harmless little game. At first Levis and Kling would play Bull in the China Shop, then Man Hoi would take a turn and represent the ' V oung China Movement at which the first two would see who could sprint down the hall the fastest. Then the whole hall would play wedding and shy shoes in the general direction of the Far East. Alas! for the rarity Of Christian charity Under the sun! Tang then pulled up stakes for his Junior year, which he spent in the West and in England. But to our great joy, good old Musty came back in Senior year and quite won us all by his gen- tlemanliness, his generosity, and above all by his large stock of good common sense. 127 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD KEMPTON POTTER AIKEN TAYLOR Ke In the gym one afternoon in Sophomore year, Kemp, working on the bar, repeatedly tried the giant and failed. He did not clench his lists, grit his teeth and register determination as he should according to all dramatic rules. He laughed — I am going to get that some day. This was typical of Kemp in the success that crowned his efforts and the easy, good-humored, but none the less efficient, method with which he approached his goal. This great little man of massive shoulders and iron will has moved with unflinching purpose throughout his college year, winning a pre-eminent place as an athlete, scholar, executive, man of letters — and as a gentleman. Kemp joined our class during Sophomore year and roomed with the occasional Scary. He made the Glee Club, the HaverforJian, and the gym team. By Senior year he was the captain of the gym team and the Glee Club leader; but his most valuable work was as a link between the alumni and the college, through the medium of his editorship of the Alumni Bulletin. Some men can be described by their characteristics but Kemp cannot be described without mentioning his activities for he is above all a man of action. Kemp for a time thought of being a jour- nalist, but has rather chosen a medical career, for which his thorough self-control and sound judgment decidedly fit him. We have only one regret concerning Kemp and that is that we did not know him better. But those of us who have gotten under the some- what austere shell of this well-bred little superman have found a generous heart and a warm friend. 28 HAVERFORD COLLEGE CHARLES BRINKLEY TURNER ' Brink ' Brinlcley is like a butterfly. He has emerged from his chrysalis under the genial sun of Haverford days. Even in his chrysalis he had a sort of glittering individuality. In the first years an atmosphere of notebooks full of sketches, amorous epithets, and pungent observations, with an occasional note (if the content were humorous enough) enveloped him in the class room. Outside of class he hid behind a huge calabash, and from clouds of smoke and comical stuff frankly didn ' t give a damn. But he would sing Ho Raj O ' Ram at class festivals whenever asked. Junior year, the smoke and stuff began to clear away, and Senior year, as one by one we dropped in to see the sketches which were to adorn our Record, we found we were glad to have known him. The only thing in Brink that has not changed is his satire. In Senior year this stram of his nature, mingled with the instinct for publicity that close association with the newspaper world has fostered, burst into full flower in the Scarlet. He founded this storehouse of iconoclastic wit in partnership with the re- doubtable Jarl, and in a minute the whole college was agog with curiosity. Many a time-honored institution rocked for a moment on its base, and then, winking one eye — if such a thing be possible, sunk back agjun into an undisturbed slumber. (For instance — Thursday Meeting.) In March, Felix, noticing the charming air of consecration which had gradually enveloped the pyerson of our laughing phi- losopher, urged him to relieve his system by an address to the Y. M. C. A. Brink assented like a flash. The Round- heads say he was kidding. The Cavaliers maintain he was not. Brink is the only one who might enlighten the curious, and he doesn ' t know. If all the best things have humor, as the best people do (according to Rufus), his eulogy of Spring and of the gradually unfolding grass-buds was of the best. But do not think Turner is all laugh or smile. He can really be very serious, and with all the qualities that make a good friend or a well-balanced man he is thoroughly conversant. 129 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD WALTER ELWOOD VAIL El, Elwood The rapt gravity of Socrates, the unalterable wisdom of Aristotle, the marvelous sanctity of Simon Stylites, the doubting quest for truth of Descartes, — all seem enhanced and combined when we ponder the individuality of President Vail. Our puny pens can no more limn his virtues than Electra Silicon can brighten the stars. He is. Little more can be said. He came among us Sophomore year and began by conquermg space in the broad jump. Junior year he came to our level and played Wogglebug. Such puerile pursuits soon irked his mind. In practice one day he sacrificed a leg so that without reproach he might abandon mere muscular effort and devote his time to the contemplation of the Good. This occupation was fruitful. Chem- istry prizes, and Corporation scholarships were given him by the faculty in token of his merit. We observed his ability and brought him from amongst the stars to sit in the councils of the Y. M. C. A., to edit its Handbook, and to apply his judgment in other ways. In our class meetings Senior year, the confusion of a French Revo- lution was superseded by the solemnity of a Roman Forum when he entered the Presidential chair. At the table he made men of a group of thoughtless boys. In the Chem. Lab. he made problems seem as child ' s play and solutions to be open books — to him. But Elwood IS not all wisdom, judgment and gravity. He is a large part appreciation. One of his friends found him one day raving about harsh skies and soft water at the Art Exhibit amid the sympathetic suspirations of a luminous female. And who that has lived in .Vlerion does not know all about the fact that all your hair is tangled gold upon your I-i-r-ish br-how ? There is a story that one summer in a small county to the west, Elwood nearly lost his life by drowning, and all because he insisted on singing John Anderson, My Jo, John while in the act of swimming under water. 180 HAVERFORD COLLEGE DONALD BEAUCHAMP VAN HOLLEN Goph, Don Avalokitesvara of the Buddhistic pan ' .heon is depicted with forty hands each of which is a manifestation of her varied powers. Only such a picture would do justice to this versatile gentleman. i he only difference is that Avalo- kitesvara IS always seated upon a lotus blnom, whereas Don is forever on the go. Goph escaped from the Quaker Reform School and entered our class with a ru=h, armed with a si. -shooter, a Mexican gambling outfit, a box of cigarettes and Roberts ' Rules of Order. He led our class through those stormy days of our inception; but having honorably filled the breach, like Garibaldi, he refused all honors and retired to a period of living. He turned litterateur, journalist, athlete and showed such signs of executive ability that he was soon loaded with responsi- bility. But the best of it was that Goph never allowed his cares to make an old man of him. Just to show that he was still young, he would flunk an exam or two (Greek preferably) and go off to Chinatown for a spree. In Senior year, Goph ran the soccer team, the Student Coun- cil, the A. A., the tennis campaign and Spalding ' s Agency, so that to his other accomplishments we add that of a Financier. But on the whole his best work was as editor of the A ' eU ' s, which was practically reborn in his regime. Goph is undoubtedly a star. But like those sidereal bodies, he moved alone, unconsciously avoid- ing contact with equal bodies, but gathering about him a few devoted planets. But the best of Don ' s social conquests were reserved for fields abroad. To the gentler sex he was most generous of himself. How he ever kept his cases in Maryland, Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr all going at once and all separate, beats even the Kaiser in adroitness. But you must remember that Don is unusually clear headed, except when he has dined in New ork and endeavors to walk out to college in the wee small hours. There is a great future in store for Don; he will succeed because he has the brains, the will and above all because he is human. 131 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD ERNEST NICHOLSON VOTAW Jonah Jonah was cast up on our shores by Westtown. His experiences Biblical and otherwise should have taught him to avoid the appearance of water, but all signs fail in dry time and Jonah abode by the pond for four years. Like so many of Westtown ' s best and brightest, his course in these low grounds of sorrow has been downward. The primrose path has seldom been trod by larger feet. Freshman year, Hewlett ' s epicene romance attracted his untutored eye. Sopho- more year is a blank. Coincident with his developing taste for riding he fared further afield and acquired a knowing smile when one spoke of Balzac. In Senior year came Y. M. C. A. and C. E. — that invention of the feminine population of Ardmore. Next the dancing around bug got in its foul work and Votaw got the heel and toe disease and distracted his mind at tango teas. We draw a veil over this sad phase of our hero ' s character and turn with delight to his appreciative attitude in Phil. V., the row before the last. We have all seen his exhibition of bareback riding, as Mme. Votaw, the famous equestrienne. The reports of his having applied to Jine the Cavalry are utterly false. Jonah is a Friend and shows no desire to step on any one ' s neck. But murder will out and Wogglebug football showed up an unexpected side of his nature. At table he assists in denouncing certain spineless inverte- brates who shall be nameless. We will conclude with a few moments ' silent prayer to the effect that the Lord wnll continue to deliver Jonah. 132 HAVERFORD COLLEGE SAMUEL WAGNER. JR. Sa Those excellent institutions commonly called firm and lasting friendships are as numerous in our class as Pharo ' s puns or Carey s reformmg. But however firm the others may be. that of Sam and Hendricks holds all records for last- ing—roommates for four years. There will doubtless Imger long in South the echoes of the plaintive Oh I Sam ' and Say. Paul! This is. as Paul would say, prima f acie evidence of the even temper and comity of both joint tenants. ip ,: . ■ j Having rendered this tribute to the David and Jonathan chapter in |; ! °° ° Samuel, let us proceed from his conjunct to his ' - isolate self. Like Tom. the other delegate from West Chester. Sam is one of our several Class Babies. His extreme youth made him an ideal Freshman — meek, unassuming and ever ready to sit in rapt attention at the feet of those mighty embodiments of cynical ma- turity — Bliss and Minot. Like his Pythias he laid hold of the helm of the Cap and Bells where his characteristic geniality and readiness to work made him one to be relied on. A political reform wave carried him into the position of tennis manager and Lew turned pale when Sam went on the warpath. In his consulship, too. the congested tennis situation at Haverford took on a brighter aspect and as we go to press it appears that we are to be blessed with backstops that will stop and even with more courts ! Sam ' s bete noir is examinations. According to Hen- dricks, he will recite whole pages of the text-book as he starts for an exam but, as soon as the detested red book is handed to him. everything evaporates and he begins to wonder when the re-examina- tion schedule will be posted. Be this as it may. not even the faculty would judge a scholar ' s worth solely by his marks. His kindliness has won our affection, his good breeding our respect why ask more? 133 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD YVO ORESTES WALN Walloon ' One wonders how the three components of the above ever got connected. The Walloon says that after much research he has dis- covered the origin of YVO. It was the title of an English monk in the seventh century. His namesake is following in his footsteps in more ways than one. North House is a case in point. There are hints of ulterior motive but no! — we repel the base insmuation. Still from North House to Preston is a long way to travel and he must have had some one to show him the road. E. Lawton has tales to tell of Wain as the protagonist in various encounters with the fair sex, and we know from personal experience that he is the most ticklish of men. The choice between astronomy and itinerant preaching is in- deed a most difficult one. Not unattractive, either of them — there are the joys of tramping through the country, the joy of finding what lies round the next bend of the road. But Yvo will probably handle the little end of a big telescope and get the thrill that comes to every Watcher of the skies. When seme new planet swims into his ken. 134 HAVERFORD COLLEGE WILLIAM DAMPIER WEBSTER Webby One of the trio of Graces who emerged from Guilford to brighten the corners of Founders and the Chem. Lab. As for which Grace Webby is, as Cy used to remark in Latin I — Ncscio. However that may be, Bowie has been a Nympholept since the day when Webby first displayed his peg top Irou and his doliar-and-a-half ($1.30) cap. It took Web some time to get acclimated. I don ' t know what to make out of thisyer place, was the burden of his song. But Web has found himself, us and Haverford, not to mention Phiiiy, Woodbury, and the Gayety. The night when the gym nearly burned down, he put on his famous cap, unrolled the chain and rope fire escape, threw it out the window and crawled alter it. Thus he made good his escap)e from the burning buiidmg. Web can tell a lot about sleeping accommodations in Broad Street Sta- tion. He is one of the main supporters of Dr. Pratt and is very fond of telling a bad egg. He has also been in the waste places of the earth and tells wild tales of Paint Creek and Biuefields, W. Va. He is one of the few people who ever disturbed Weikel ' s composure. He did this mighty deed by in- quiring with an innocent expression, Do you go in town much? And that was hitting Weikel where he lives. We like to think of Web winning glory on our Wogglebug team and we are sure he will hit the line hard in after life. 135 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD MALCOLM HUSTED WEIKEL Mac, Weik Weikel is an acquaintance of all of us; many of us feel that we know him; but those who know him best wonder if they know him well. Certain it is that he baffled analysis for two years. For that period he seemed as strictly unimpeachable as Hallett ; his saintliness made Anthony Comstock resemble Gates at his swiftest. He blushed at the mention of a cigarette and grew faint at the dread word beer. But even in those distant days he enjoyed the milder diversions of the rest of us — he was the presiding deity of South ' s innumerable 500 games and Chairman of the Com- mittee on Bowman. In athletics, too, he has made a place for himself — he has played on every class team; made the Varsity track team in Junior year and twice came out at the top of the heap in the doubles tournaments. In the last two years particularly has Mac developed his personality. Not only has an occasional cigarette profaned his lips but this blase cotillion leader once was seen smoking a clay pipe! All the hideous aspects of the famous Episode of the Westtown Swimming Pool must remain shrouded in mystery. One rule he sets for himself above all others — if you don ' t know the answer to a question, blufl it out anyhow — which he does with an expression of per- fect innocence. Wherefore the praenomen of Baron. But lately his professional cynicism has worn away and his admiration for U. P. has waned — notably in the football season of 1914. Enthralled by his effervescent humor, his little Dutch roommate and familiar spirit forgot his books and dropped with loud wails to fourth place. He uncov- ered a vein of music and the Ca; and Bells opened its arms to him. Mac has carefully hid his light and sat on the bushel but he has not been able to blind us to his talents. We who know — as Theis once put it — how arbitrary marks are — know also that there is a measure of success awaiting him even greater than that which he has attained among us. 136 HAVERFORD COLLEGE ' Whip PA UL KIMBALL WHIPPLE On shining lights in other classes Spitzy has placed reliance, but Whip is the one and only to whom he avows dependency. It would be, Dunn, traduisez! ' says Dixie, recalling distant French I days, but always, ' Monsieur Whipple, est-ce que vous liriez, peut-etre? ' Even L. G., the sine qua non of the Romance Department, lives in constant terror lest Whip ' s pointed shafts should find deficiencies in his carefully nurtured panoply of erudition; though this, of course, does not imply hostility. Whip without Bowie, as Elwood neatly puts it. would be as Johnson without Bosweli. With Dixie, they make a worthy trio for keeping Haverford actively conscious of the lustre of 1915. Speaking of 15. gentle reader, reminds us that it is to Whip we owe this final expression of our undergraduate life. Minions have striven manfully indeed, but the incisive zeal which restrains his true Byronic weariness of soul is what accounU for our small measure of success. It was a true prophet who once wrote that God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul. In Phil. V, Whip hearkens undisturbed when Rufe firmly stresses the necessity of Ideals. H? is himself doubly supplied. The one — but by now this is an accom- plished fact — is to sp)ort the elusive 1 B K within the ample recesses of his bosom. The other, unattain able as true ideals should be. is to beat Mac Weikel a single set of tennis. But these are ideals. Should we not at least touch upon that completed aspiration for the renovation of the Ardmore C. E.. with its deadly consequences in the hearts of fair Ardmoriennes? Which naturally calls to mind that classic phrase: — DON ' T SHOOT. I ' LL MARR ' THE GIRL! Were it not another story w-e would be tempted to reve the origins of this poignant sentiment, in Whip. Dixie will be only too glad to expatiate. But, if you are interested either in the girl ' 137 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD WILLIAM ALPHEUS WHITE Alph ' I No, he ' s no relation to William Allen and he doesn ' t come from South Carolina, either, — you ' re thinking about Freddy. White stepped into the shoes of the great Baxter Richardson. And he has filled them — not that we would say anything about Alph ' s feet. Perish the thought ! He is a careless soul and works on impulse like a Ford. He is a leading supporter of Philly shows and cannot be found on Saturday nights. He has fallen under the spell of F. B. Gummere and has been the victim of the proselyting Helveston. He is a somewhat shy bird, however, and seems out of place anywhere but in Founders. But there he is in his element and High, Low, Jack and the Game reign supreme. So emboldened has he become that he has dared to add a fifth to the above mentioned immortal four, to-wit, the Joker. Also, he sings, Dar- ling, Let Me Tie Your Shoestring — • a truly rural ditty. But let the motto of those other knights of the garter be his also. The best place to see Alph, the sacred river, run, is on the tennis courts. And there this Spring, he and Henley, Doc Hall ' s alter ego, intend to wipe out past defeats and renew past victo- ries. Tremble, George and Mac. As we pass on after this brief and casual glance, one thing should strike deep in our memory. White is one of the few, the very few, in 1915, who have ever been knowingly admitted to the sacred precincts of Bryn Mawr Col- zyD ' c HAVERFORD COLLEGE The Great Unrest A Problem Play in One Act Time: First half year, 1914-15. Costumes: Uncertain. The Protagonist must be supphed with one baby-crape ' derby. A bright flash of fire shall be hurled at you; yea, and molten brass, and ye shall not defend yourselves from it. (The Koran.) As ibe curtain rises, the last strokes of Founders ' Bell — the second one — are heard fading alDajj. The scene dis- closed is the large math room. Dr. Srvatsome is seated behind a desk Uttered with papers, charts, diagrams, notebooks and numberless card indices with the tabulation of Tvhich he is busil ) engaged. The room is emptv except for a fere of the more conscientious; Taylor, Wagner, IVebsler, and Care]) being conspicuous among these. The last named is slon lv turning the pages of his notebook endeavoring to determine whether or not he has brought the right one. A s Dr. S. rises to call the roll, the majority of the class storm into the room. Having gone over the names, he reads the list of absentees, reads it again, then trvice more and is about to start lecturing U ' hen a bic )cle bell is heard and Turner strolls noncha- lantly in. Dr. S. (ignoring Brink ' s companionable nod) — Gentlemen, as you know, the object of this course is to come down flat footed on certain Social Maladjustments. In today ' s lecture it is my purpose to come across to the group with the very concrete problem of Feeblemindedness. Do you realize that in this country (readmg from mdex No. 7) there are 200,000 pronouncedly feebleminded, of whom only 30,000 are confined in institutions? Even taking a birdseye view of this problem it is evidently time to draw a halt and prevent the Social Stream from being contaminated. In Virginia, for instance, — none of you gentlemen are from Virginia, I believe, — they have put all their energy into swatting the fly and stamping out hog cholera and have no law for domesticated idiots. The results are evident. (Dixie strives to rise but is quickly subdued and cast under the bench by M ' hippie and Votaw. Halletl shakes his head reprovingly at the latter.) 139 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD Dr. S. {failing to notice an thing beyond the usual atmosphere of unrest.) — You can thrash out this problem any way you will — when there are 250,000 undoubtedly feebleminded in this country, and only 20,000 of them in confine- ment, somebody is asleep at the switch. Now if there is one thing I want to get over to this group in terms of 100% it is the potentiality of the Economic Environment in the realms of the Ethnological, Aesthetic, and Spiritual. Probably very few of you gentlemen realize that if turnips had not been grown in Sweden, Wordsworth would never have been born. (This statement has an animating effect on the ctass. A ferv look puzzled, some amused, the aristocracy of intellect some- rvhat dazed. Hallett and Loring Crosman nod their heads approvingly.) Dr. S. — Such evident facts are highly significant in our study of Feeblemindedness. By the census of the U. S. Bureau of Printing and Engraving for 1850 — I regret that I have been unable to obtain more recent figures —we see that there are today 300,000 feebleminded in this country, and only 10,000 of them in institutions. The onus of this must rest upon the machinations of the Higher Thimblerig who permits the doors of our almshouses to swing both ways. Now, I ' ll call for volunteers to tell me why the Economic Environment as evidenced by the absence of windows in bathrooms should have led to these very significant figures. (Looking around triumphantl]) Dr. S. catches sight of Taylor Tvilh both hands snapping vehemently, the left having jomed its mate, raised at the beginnmg of the class. He nods conde- scendingly. ) Kemp. — Yes, sir, I can. And (proudly) I ' ve thought of another very good example. It illustrates the Economic background thoroughly — if men had never built ships America would probably not have been discovered (Dr. S. accepts this statement rvith reserve and passes on to Nitobe D io has been squirming in his seat ivith evident disapproval.) Tobe (rvilh explosive energy) — Dr. Swatsome, in Japan we never have bathrooms at all and I ' m sure that there are not as many feebleminded there as here. Dr. S. (pondering this deeply) — Mr. Nitobe, that ' s a very interesting point and I ' m glad you brought it up. Of course I am speaking of feeblemindedness in its 100% aspects, which perhaps you do not fully r ealize. I ' m very sorry that the exigencies of this course won ' t permit me to go into the matter here, but if you would like to come round to the house some time I ' ll introduce you to the young hopeful and we can thrash it out thoroughly. (Looking at his rvatch.) Well, gentlemen, I see we have only twenty minutes left so I will devote the remainder of the hour to a brief discussion of the Social Socialization of the Unsocialized Social Surplus. In this consideration I must touch upon the aspect of Child 140 HAVERFORD COLLEGE Labor. In the Cherry Mine disaster, you will remember that 63 ' ' of all those to lose their lives were minors. (Botvman malfes frantic efforts for recognition.) What is it, Dunn? (Borvie snorts.) I beg your pardon, Mr. Bowman. (Dixie groans. Megarge rval(es up, caclfles audibly and again becomes soporific.) Bowie (nervously fingering a melt polished t HK key) — Professor Swatsome, I have been considering this matter in the lOO ' r aspect and I must say it seems to me to De highly logical that miners should be the ones to suffer in a mine disaster. (Appalling silence ensues, broken only by a nasal enconium from the Impatient Philosopher of the bacl( rolp, — Good boy, Edgar! ) Dr. S. — I should be glad to talk this (Xjint over with you after the hour. Meanwhile I can probably make my point more plain by means of this chart. (While an extensively crayoned sheet is being conspicuously mounted. Falconer, i ho has been taking down every p-rarl rvilh breathless avidity, seizes his opportunity.) Cy — Pardon me, Dr. Swatsome, but would you mind repealing those figures about feeblemindedness? Dr. S. — Certainly not. Falconer, it is a very good thing to drive in your peg at this place. (Refers to various indices but. receiving no enlightenment, mal(es a ferv calculations on the margin of a Survey. ) Falconer, I ' m glad you raised this significant point and it might be well for the class to take down these figures. According to Dr. Ayre ' s inves- tigation of the South Bethlehem Textile Turnverein there are today 600,000 proved feebleminded in this country. Of these but I 7,000 are confined in institutions. Cy (scribbling frantically) — Thank you, sir. Hubert (aside to Sam Wagner) — That ' s because they have folding doors in the almshouses. (Both note this significant fact.) Dr. S. — I want to round out this discussion by gett ' r.T across to the group with a few very homely truths. For instance, as I have said once before, man is not as prone to do evil as sparks are to fly upwards. Also I would discuss the Eugenic possibilities of hereditary sterilization but as worked out in feebleminded rats it has proved a complete failure. Of course this rather floors the Lamarckian theory, does it not, Mr. Shaffer? Shaff. — Oh, yes indeed! Because of the recessively duplex mendelization of dominant zygotes Weismann believed, and I have proved, that acquired characteristics are seldom or never inherited. 141 MINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD Dr. S. — Exactly. Mr. Shaffer. It is a great comfort to have someone here who has studied biology. Now, gen- tlemen, just consider this chart which I think will plainly show the group the effects of our laissez-faire policy. (L. P. Crosman ' s hand is raised, the owner evidentlv feeling it incumbent on the Y. M. C. A. to shorv some active interest. He receives a rather weary recognition.)

(Unanimous guffaw in which Dr. S. joins. Whip, helpless, is carried from the room. Bowie, observing his condition, joins the general mirth with a conscien- tious titter.) Dr. S. — Well, class, (I feel I know you too well to call you gentlemen any longer) — I ' m afraid we ' ll have to stop here today. By the way don ' t pay any attention to that chart. I see from my notes that it refers to neurotic heredity in epileptic guinea pigs and not to the Mendelization of Andalusian fowls which I had intended to discuss. If it is the intention of the group to renew their subscriptions to the Survey I must be told before next Wednesday — otherwise Mr. Chase will multiply the price by four and put it on the bill. The class files thoughtfully out. Long after the last exit and as the curtain rises for the final tableau.

CURTAIN. 115 HO HAVERFORD COLLEGE The Flounderers ' Society N FRIDAY , January 11, eleven Seniors gathered in the luxurious apartments nf the Count on the third floor of S outh Barclay. In the center of the room the old guard was at the old game. Through the smoke which lose lazily toward the ceiling, the pale faces of Brink, Hor.us, the Tobe, Don, Weik, and Moore shone white in the gloom. Coley was invisible but audible. I he chips clinked monotonously. Tom Hoopes drew a poor hand and immediately, observing that it was time to begin the meeting, coralled the royal family and the chips. The two Eds, Levi and the Count pushed their chairs to the wall. Fellows, began Tom, this is one of the most serious assemblies that has ever been at Haverford and I think it only proper that we should open with a brief period of silence. The eleven modest Seniors solemnly bowed their heads and a sacred silence, loud with the inspired purpose of that gathering, hovered visibly over them. Don mutilated it by quoting in scriptural tones — Of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. With earnest- ness, Tom spoke as follows: Most of you know the purpose of this meeting. For three and a half years, we have watched in shameful lethargy the growing menace of Scholarship and Efficiency. For three and a half years the Phi Beta Kappa has been a thorn in the flesh and its flashing keys a red rag to our gaze. Coley interrupted: I move we confiscate that umbilicus protector of L. G. Bowman ' s. Jeece, it makes me sore! Tom grinned and continued: Within the past few months we have seen the birth of the Founders ' Society. The situation has become intolerable! These societies are crushing out the very vitality of our college. Weik, Levi, Henry, and some more of us have realized its peril and wish to present for your consideration this evening a plan for forming a new society which will be the salvation and glorification of Haverford. (A few hand- claps. Hear! Hear! from Farr.) At first we will probably be a voice in the wilderness but now is the time to act. That ' s from the Bible. mumbled Levi. The eleven fellows who have assembled are men who have succeeded in affixing the coveted asterisk to their names in the college catalog during Junior and Senior years. It is our duty to sacrifice even our studies in this unselfish effort to save the college. We ' d like to hear what you fellows think of the idea. Looking unusually sober, Tom took his seat. No one spoke — the cigarettes burned more brightly and Ed Crosman ' s pipe gurgled contentedly. The Count was moved to speech. In dazzling neatness he stood before us, swinging slowly backwards and forwards on his heels and toes. Head to one side he gazed into the cloud of smoke and blinked rapidly. Then he flicked the ashes from his cigar dramatically. Brink was trying in feverish haste to get the gesture down on oaper. Fellow liberators, he began, nothing so stirs my very soul as shirking under an ideal whether high or low. I move that the society be called the Flounderers ' Society. Let it be a society of the unsung heroes of the lower half — of those who can average an honorable ' E ' or ' D ' and who are not afraid to flunk. ( It is better to have tried and flunked than 147 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD never to have tried at all, stammered Moore ' s mustache.) Let our society stand in every way for Individuality and the expansion of the Ego. Stick out your chest, Honus, cried Coiey. Let us fight to the last man with Wogglebuggian strength against the present effort on the part of the faculty to make a Haverford type — that terrible tendency which is strangling the very life of our institution. Then Honus arose; the burden of the Cap and Bells made him list to port. Fellows, said he, I think the society should have a pin. I ' ve had considerable experience in selecting pins as Chair- man of the Safety Pin Committee of the Cap and Bells. Excellent idea, something circular with a picture of the cmder track, suggested Brink. I therefore suggest, continued Sam undaunted, that we adopt the asterisk as the symbol of our society. Say, cull, where were you dragged up? questioned Coley. Aw, Coley, that isn ' t funny. SOME comeback, said Scranton. Yo seized the floor with both feet. Mr. Chairman, I propose that the pin be worn modestly on the back of the undershirt. (Audible approval.) And, while I am on my feet, I wish to set forth a few ideas in exotic words and as cryptically as possible. Sociologically speaking, I would urge ihat great efforts be made to boycott professors who insist upon delivering bull seminars. All prospective members shcu ' d be asked to take German A. or Greek A. I wouldn ' t take German A. for Kaiser Bill himself, mused Coley. Ed Crosman rose slowly. Mr. Chairman, I th ' .nk we should carry on an advertising propaganda work amon ihe schools, using the Gummere Card Catalogue system. And perhaps make personal trips by auto to some of the nearby in stitutions of learning. The Count ' s stickpin, ring and hair glistened approval. It sounded like sand paper but it was Levi passing the back of his hand over his mouth in order to open it. I move we adjourn. Whose deal, Ed? Just a second Mr. Chairman. It was Weik, the silent promoter of the Scarlet. I think we ought to have some honorary members just for form if nothing else. I move that Minot, Addie Bliss, Bro Kling, Scarey, the Egg, Theis, and Jim Ellison be unanimously elected Honorary Members. Second the motion. A fine bunch, said Ed Farr in a fatherly tone. Fellows, the spirit of this meeting convinces me that Beatty ' s firstborn will meet an early death and the Phi Beta Kappa will soon be treated with the scorn it deserves. Deal me five aces, Ed, I dare you. The cards slid to the table from Ed ' s skilful hands; the ch ' ps clicked once more, the bickering began; the smoke thickened. The night passed out and a new day dawned for Haverford. 148 HAVERFORD COLLEGE (A farce in one act) Scene: The bacleriological lab. It is earlv morning. The first red rays of a Bunsen burner fall upon the pale cheel( of Ellison, who yaivns, stretches, and crawls out from among the guinea pigs. Knowlton is seen to shiver and creep closer to the while mouse that shares his bed with him. A famt, distant rumble as of a giant waltzing on a tin roof is heard in the direction of the incubator. This gradually increases in volume until a deafening roar the door of the incubator opens and Choate steps daintily out. Wallfing to the door post he ranges alongside and marks the spot reached by the top of his head. Choate (triumphantly) — An eighth of an inch more! This incubatin ' s good stuff! IVithout a word Ellison and Knowlton have turned to t!.eir worl(. Choate places a mouse in the whirling machine and turns it idly. Suddenly the door is burst open and Herb Taylor enters wild-eyed. Herb — Five minutes to make culture tubes! In desperation he places bouillon, agar, gelatine, millf. potatoes, etc., in a large iron vessel and boils it over a quictf fire. He turns away for a moment, and Ellison, with quiet determination, drains the broth at a single draught, then resumes his work. Knowlton, who has witnessed the treachery, seizes a cover glass and makes for him, only to be restrained by Herb and Choate. Knowhon (sobbing) — Wah ! Now I ' ll have to gel breakfast and that ' ll put Jimmie one-tenth point ahead of me! The 8:30 bell rings. Enter Furies and K. Taylor. Taylor removes his coat, places it in a corner, curls up on it and is soon asleep. 149 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD Faries (pToducing a culture lube from his pocl et) — Ha! Leprosy! Want to smell it? The rest retreated alarmed, — all save Choate, who, in the interests of science, smears a little of the culture on his nose. For upwards of half an hour the class amuses itself at the expense of the lab. ' s dumb animals. Suddenly there is a quicif step on the gravel path, the door opens, and Dr. Babbit, clad in a gr.p overcoat, with a felt hat pushed far bacl( on his head, enters precipitously. The six worlfcrs are busy at their worl(: they have not heard him enter, so fascinated are they by the great Science of Bacteriology. Knowlton (peering into microscope) — Ah! here ' s a Prodigiosa I wish Dr. Babbit were here to see this. (Turning around and l(nocl(ing Dr. Babbit off his feet.) Ah! You are here! Ha-ha! Dr. Babbit (using microscope) — Yes, that ' s splendid! Just come here, class, and look at this great splendid Prodigiosa that Knowlton has isolated! (The class crowds obediently around the microscope.) Knowlton — What disease does Prodigiosa cause. Dr. Bab- bit? Dr. Babbit — Er — ah — Knowlton — Is it small-pox? Dr. Babbit — Why, yes, of course. Knowlton — Who discovered it? Dr. Babbit — Eer — ah — Knowlton — Was it Jones? Dr. Babbit — Why, yes, of course. At this point Choate breal(s out m loud guffaws of unrestrained laufhler. Choate — Ho-ho! Haw-haw! There isn ' t any slide under the microscope! , Painful silence, during which Knowlton shifts uneasily from one foot to the other and Ellison tillers audibly. Dr. Babbit (brusquely) — Now, class, please take seats in the other room. The class does as told. Dr. Babbit removes hat and coat and throws them on Faries. Dr. Babbit (assuming l(indly attitude) — We have today the interesting study of hog-cholera. Last time you remember K. Taylor gave us the report on Ehrlich we have been waiting for so long. We saw how Ehrlich ' s theory embraced a general sort of systematic condition where the snarling octopus-like projections of the toxipheric portion of the molecule became associated with the cavern-like receptors of the differential polynuclear or large mono-nuclear leukocytes. Now, who knows anything about the Opsonic Index? No answer from the class, though Ellison smiles reassuringly. Dr. Babbit (relieved) — Then we won ' t study it. You remember also last time Knight told us about the hoof and mouth disease. Now this is an interesting topic because it 150 HAVERFORD COLLEGE is a frightful general sort of a systemic condition which we have all around us. I think Knight is an excellent example of hoof and mouth — Choale (blushing) — I beg your pardon — Dr. Babbit — Ha-Ho! I should say I think Knight is an excellent sort of investigator of hoof and mouth disease, because the first move of the health authorities at the outbreak of an epidemic is to confine all chickens! Ha-ha! Bui joking aside and strictly confidential, — I hav en ' t fell the same about eating raw meat since Ellison ' s report on the tape worms. Oh! By the way, Herb, there was a man telephoned the office yesterday and said he didn ' t want any more dirty Indians sent up to referee his games! I do declare, doesn ' t it seem funny — I ' ve often wondered that people can ' t be more considerate of one another. Why, the very gentility of coughing in a person ' s face should make an appeal. I had an interesting situation brought up a week ago: infection due to dandruff; made a scraping of an Italian gentleman ' s head — K. Taylor — He-he! Dr. Babbit — No, it wasn ' t what you think it was. But to return to hog cholera; it is interesting because man and chickens are immune to it, whereas the hog is im- mune to snake poison and the negro to yellow fever. Now isn ' t that an interesting general relation? Immunity, you see, is a relative term, and we must distinguish between warm and cold blooded animals, ' ou see the antibodies float about in the blood serum and sensitive bacteria for infection by the phagocytes — blocks up like a dam in childhood ' s play-time, associated in a cess-pool kind of a condition that always reminds me of a tire puncture in Chinatown. These form the opsonins. What are the opsonins, Faries? Faries (suddenly) — You just told us we should WT-ry about opsonins. Dr. Babbit (unhurt) — Did I? Well, next week we shall make a trip to town. Hew many of the class would like to go at ten o ' clock? All raise hands. Dr. Babbit — How many would like to go at th ' ee o ' clock? No hands are raised. Dr. Babbit — Well then, that settles it. We ' ll go at three o ' clock. (Herb stares wislfulh out of the mindon ' .) Now I wish you ' d each take one of the mice and subject it to some sort of a general sort of experimenting. Why don ' t you, Ellison, feed it cheese with some of the streptococci on it and see if you can find them in its ear. Ellison (blushing) — Do you think that would be a very nice place to look for them, sir? Dr. Babbit — And remember what I ' ve told you about cog holera — I mean, ha-ha! rog golera — I mean — Knight, what do I mean? Knight (swallowing) — Log rolera! Dr. Babbit (convulsed) — Now I want you to finish up whatever work of a general routine sort you may have, and then that will do for today. (Snatches up hat and coat and hurries off. It is now 9:05.) 151 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD Interval of trvo minules. Exit Knight, Fades, Herb, and K. Taylor rvith furtive glances in the direction o f the infirmar]). Intervals of two hours.

King Wdliam (surveying the animal cages with hands on hips) — Well, shua, I done work at Kirkbrides, but I never pitied them pooah nuts like I pity them pooah pigs! Seeing Ellison and Knorvlton, he advances quietly upon them and rvith a deft movement srveeps them both into his pan and bears them aJvay. The Bunsen burner sputters and goes out. In the cage there is a last scuttle rvhile the pigs and the mice settle dorvn for another Tveel( ' s sleep. 152 HAVERFORD COLLEGE The Case of Bryn Mawr v. Haverford College TH E EVENING BULLETIN FIRED HAVERFORD STUDENTS Six Seniors Suspended for Midnight Serenade Near Bryn Mawr College Dorms. Six members of the Senior class of Haverford Collejje were suspended for two weelcs for singing ' not wisely but too well under the windows of the Bryn Mawr College Dormitories as the conclusion of a class dinner. The six were returning from the Seniors ' dinner at the Merion Cricket Club in an automobile after midnight on March 4. Somebody suggested a sere- nade and the machine was brought to a halt. The next morning complaints and communications flew between Haver- ford and Bryn Mawr, the offenders were lined up before President Sharp- less of Haverford and, after a sting- ing lecture, were sent home for two weeks of penitence. The Seniors were accused of driv- ing their machine at high speed through the Bryn Mawr campus. Even President Thomas was awak- ened by the noise, according to infor- mation transmitted to President Sharpless. Among the suspended stu- dents were E. L. Farr, star tackle of the football team; Thomas Hooper, Edward Megargee Levis of German- town, and W. H. Leland. President Sharpless refused to make any comment on the matter to- day and everybody at the office of M. Carey Thomas, president of Bryn Mawr, said that there was nothing more to be said. It is known, how- ever, that the official complaint to President Sharpless represented that the young ladies of Bryn Mawr were awakened by the racket outside and disturbed. There was an intimation that the singing was even off key. The members of the class are not yet convinced that the suspension was justified. It is a question that hangs on the unalienable right of college men to sing college songs on their way home from class gatherings. We only sang the college songs, one of the members of the class said to- day. We wished to do honor and homage to Bryn Mawr. a college tbat we hold in the highest esteem. The report that we drove the machine on the campus isn ' t true. I will admit that some of the chaps forgot about the time. It must have been pretty late. I wasn ' t there but I got a com- plete account of what happened. It was a lark and nothing more. No damage was done and there was noth- ing improper — except, of course, the hour. 153 Exhibit B— Telegram March Ij— GlSO A. M. President Sharpless, Havetheford, Pa.

TESTIMONY No. 1 — From a Bryn Mawr student, class of 1917. Oh, Charlie! Were you in that party of songbirds that flew through here last Thursday night? Do you know — there were twelve men in the car besides the chauffeur. Nancy and I counted them. No, it was a big red touring car, a Fiat, I think. It just went around and around over the campus at least a dozen times. It was terribly exciting. (The above testimony thrown out, as the car happened to be a poor little Ford with seven occupants.) No. 2 — From the Bryn Mawr watchman. Yis, on Thursday night, I stopped a crowd of young gintlemin a-going through the campus road.

Uncle Allen incon- tinently retreats to his private office, locking the door behind him. Bowie — Alright, Miss Sharpies, you can go now. I ' m here.

Now I must be off, I, — that is, I ' m just swamped with work y ' know. I must be off to my study and. ah, and — er — (desperately) I mean I must dash to my study and, ah, and (with sudden inspiration) and see Crowell ! Of course, I must see Crowell! Charming fellow.

At the door he pa. ics Mr. Collins rvho shambles into the North wing. listens at a register to the feline complaints, turns off the heal and listens again, and th ' m silently glides out, viewing all who come in his direct line of vision with the utter hopelessness of a German philosopher. For a few moments there is comparative quiet, Bowie having retired to the third floor of the stack foom. Enter Brink Turner. He surveys the prospect, nods to Miss Ingalls who is now at the desk d consults a memorandum. Brink — I want Sin and Society, The Cit ' V of Dreadful ' ighl, and Sodom ' s Social Solution in Modern Moral Movements. Tliese are reserved for Phil. V. Doubtless you could tell that by the titles. Miss Ingalls, her face suffused to a most becoming hue, hands over the last two with avert d head. She then opens a drawer and consults the records. Miss Ingalls- — Mr. Turner. Dr. Cadbury has that firs; book. In fact (with a charming burst of candor) he has had 157 NINETEEN FIFTEEN RECORD it since October 9.

Without delay both dash for the laden shelves of treasure in the South wing. Miss Bellle seeing that it is six o ' clock, heaves a sigh of relief and rises to turn off the lights. This has been almost accomplished, and the building is all but denuded of humanity when the door again opens, — this time only a few inches. A sandy bristling beard, eyes terrible despite their watery blueness, and a lofty brow which merges imperceptibly into a sinewy neck comes into view. Satisfied with his survey. Lyman Beecher enters collectively, nods fiercely to the timorous and embarrassed Miss Settle and strides with grim purpose round the piles of periodicals, whence be slfims the cream as idle fancy prompts. Dispensing with the medieval formality of Signing up he briskly disappears from view. As the last light snaps off, old Founders ' Bell rings its evening call to supper and darkness and silence reign supreme within our cemetery of books. 158 HAVERFORD COLLEGE An Unpublished News Story T. Crinkly Burner addressed the Y. M. C. A. on Sunday evening on women, spring, watches and bugs. The meeting was largely attended. Great enthusiasm and feeling was shown by the congregation. I en converts hit the trail — it is now in the Infirmary for repairs. Mr. Burner announced Old Black Joe as the opening hymn, but evidently had some doubts whether Henry (janitor, colored) was in the building, for a whispered conversation with Rorly resulted in the singing of God Save the King. A short prayer from Closman left hardly a dry eye in the room as Oh, God! Be with our speaker quavered through the silence. After the prayer. Burner began immediately: What man who lives in Merion these Spring days, what man who observes even the bugs and beetles flying toward the light, hears the tender rustle of the grass growing toward the heavens, sees the tender buds of ivy vines peeping in his windows, hears the tinkle of the phone bells, thinks on his pro. imily to Bryn Mawr, watches the steadfastness of the dining-room steps, what man, I say, whose soul is alive to these influences, doubts that he has a soul? What man who notices all this does not feel the surge of the infinite. Fellows, I have been asked to talk to you. I bring message that Spring is here, beautiful, inspiring, wonderful — a-a-h. Spring! But though Spring is here, you must not forget — you know there was a fellow named Jones. He worked on the ' Evening Transcript, but Til touch on that later. At present I want to touch on girls. You know there are a lot of girls. I don ' t want to talk about all of them. Here is the good substantial sort who is an inspiration to a man ' s life. The kind who can make good pies and dust chairs — keep the house in order you know — and make pies. Well, anyway — that ' s not the kind of girl I want to talk about. You know the kind I mean. They go past Merion. They live in Ardmore. But there are a good many down around Preston, too. Some of them live around here and there ' s a sprinkling around Bryn Mawr. Well, fellows, you know, it doesn ' t pay to doll around with these Hossies. It doesn ' t pal;. ' (Dreamily.) It ' s nice, though. But oh, I say, fellows — it doesn ' t pay. Cut it out. Has anyone here read Elbert Hubbard ' s ' Message to Garcia? ' Rorly? Well, — you know this fellow Brink — 1 mean Jones, who report ed on the ' Transcript. ' He had a message to carry, not exactly to Garcia — but to carry, you know. Well, he got the street and number wrong, and wasted lots of time. ' ou know fellows — always get your street and num- ber right. Because if you don ' t, you ' ll waste time. The modern business man wants efficient workers. He doesn ' t want any time wasted. So get your number right. Oh, hell, fellows, reform. You know you can ' t go on this way. Class-rooms now. If you can ' t listen to your professors — well, stay away, that ' s all. But don ' t overcut. You ' d better listen to the professors, I guess. But keep your watches in your pockets. I know I ' ve wasted ' years looking at my watches, my watch, I mean. I say, Rorly, what ' s that snappy hymn you wanted to close with? Oh, yes! Well, fellows, we ' ll close with ' Crossing the Bar ' (wiping the back of his hand across his mouth) — sounds good doesn ' t it! Mr. Burner talked on many other topics, old clothes men, Bergdoll, the war, and Mormonism but space forbids an absolutely verbatim report of the most interesting speech that Rorly has arranged this year. 169 ICO We invite you to peruse our advertisements, which are very attractively displayed.
