JONES There are four major events in life: Get- ting born, getting married, selecting the right center of education and finding a career that fits one ' s aptitudes. I was born at the right spot and time, married the right person, chose the ideal college and have had a perfectly happy career of forty-one years as a teacher of Haverford men whom I have both admired and loved. DON C. BARRETT LiFe at Haverford is full of interest and helpfulness and enjoyment. One feels a sense of deep regret in separating him- self from its active duties, yet he wishes to retire with as much grace and con- tentment as lies within him so to do. Fortunately, retirement does not mean inactivity — only opportunity to pursue many interests crowded out hitherto. MA LEGH W. REID Having been asked to write a few words for tfiis Record on the eve of my retirement after thirty-four years ' service as a member of tfie Faculty of Haverford College, I am glad to do so. The recollection that I have known and taught every man who entered Haverford as a Freshman for thirty years will always be a great satisfaction to me, and I only regret that it has been possible for me to know and teach only a portion of the students now in college. The memories of these associations will always be precious to me, and I can soy truthfully that among my happiest hours hove been those passed in my classroom. May I hope that all of you, alumni and students, whom I have known, con say Forsan el laec olim nieminisse juvabit. ■iv -r .v - a;.- ' jr ••}-. « ' • -4A m % X : =sp V ' y 1|a ' ww ' M ■ , m. , 1 ' W ' F - ' «53 1 ' «  • ►; 1 . ■ ■iSBfi wS I - r— tE ' :n t3,- ■■■ - -. f V page sixteen i H ' ' H ?

Its campus crowded with worthy old grads and their families and educational leaders From all America, Haverford forgot its famed modesty and retirement for at least twenty-four hours. Polite under- graduates, all wearing neckties, and in nearly all cases coats to match their pants, were seen everywhere, like plain clothes men, shadowing their eminent elders. The sun shone graciously all day long, and the belfry of Founders carried on the good work with a battery of spotlights at night. We realized, that day, that hiaverford is more than a place where we happen to spend four years of our lives.

To my d-d-darling S--5-sue: Ever since y-y-you have spurned me for that f-f-f-fillhy Princeton man I have b-b-been unable to s-s-sleep or to e-e-eat, . . . w-w-well, anyway, I haven ' t slept. You are u-u-unaware of my - my - my possibilities and just because I do not look like C-c-c-clark Gab— b— ble you scorn me.

It Is possible for m-m-me to sit any place in a theatre and s-s-see without the slightest trouble . . . and I c-c-could hold you in my l-l-lop with e-e-e-ease.

I probably know more about M-m-music than Bach, but not as much as H-H-hHunt Bach J-Jones, my friend here. I a-a-adore Bridge in all forms but S-S-Spin-the-Plate is what I am b-b-best at. I like horseback rrrriding and have spent some ssssum- mers at D-D-Dude Ranches although now I am interested in a B-Boys ' Camp. I might not bbbbe as intel-tel-tellgent as that guy from P-P-Princeton but then, it is an admitted fact that 1 ttttake snap courses such as MMMUsIc 2; German something-or-other and L-L-Logic. I have deliberately sssshunned all hard courses but, hhhheck, it doesn ' t ttttake hard c-c-courses to make mince-meat, which is where I will end up when I finish h-h-here. I am a g-g-god-send to women for I can dan- dan-dance great and think Shubert ' s Works are just ggggreat but DO N-N-NOT compare with Gilbert and Sullivan at all!!

Dear Sir: I found the following clipping in the American Mercury under the heading American, a column devoted to revealing the weaknesses and foibles of the American body politic. NEW YORK Religion up to the minute and very vital as por- trayed by the Rochester (New York) Post-Scimitar; Last week a new minister, Dr. Robert Beaven, burst into town, and he has since stirred the town ' s spiritual forces to their depths. The new divine, a disciple of Rufus Jones and a follower of the Inner Light, preached his virgin sermon on the topic of CornettingyourWay to Heaven, accom- panying his remarks by appropriate snatches of lively tunes on his own cornet. A Post-Scimitar reporter asked Dr. Beaven what his sermon next Sunday would be about. A great punner and man of humour, he pulled the old one, Oh, about twenty-five minutes. But seriously, he added, 1 have prepared a sermon on the subject of ' Getting to Heaven by Making Funny Faces. ' This will be accompanied by extremely uproarious grimaces which I have spent long years in mastering. Then, the following Sunday, 1 intend to dish it out (the same old stuff, of course), under the title ' Getting to Heaven by Funny Noises, ' which, you may rest assured, will be a howl. Other subjects which should also fill the house are: ' Dancing My Way to Heaven, ' ' Sunday School Teaching My Way to Heaven, ' Getting to Heaven on ' Very Little Food, Even as Do the Birds of the Air, ' ' Philosophizing My Way to Heave n via Rapt Attention to Haverford ' s Man from Maine and His Ethics Course. ' In that sermon I will give visual illustrations of how a man may integrate himself although made up of two conflicting char- acteristics, as I am, being very serious and at the same time very frivolous. The reporter asked Dr. Beaven if he believed in Heaven. The minister replied, Yes, if you define it in certain terms, and went on to a dissertation concerning Logic with which we won ' t bother the reader. im :-. ■ ' : ' ' rmfi¥x ' ' ?;■■;«-:?- • ' HAivW ' ««J 3Sf r - page forty Harold dear: I just had to write and tell you to take good care of yourself on account of the track meet tomorrow, and get to bed early. Of course, you always do get to bed right after your nightly trip to Doc ' s, unless you ' re out with me — at least your room- mates say so — and the Lord only knows when you get in. I ' m sorry I ' ve made you miss the last train so often. We were driving Hoverford way and I stopped in lo see you yesterday, but you were at track practice. How neat your room is — such a methodi- cal person I never did see! No wonder they call you Uncle Podger! One of the boys said that you usually remake your bed after Lou is finished because he doesn ' t do it just righf. My, Oh My. But you ' re not an old maid, even if some people do think so. I felt a little that way until last year when you suddenly appeared in brown end white sport shoes, instead of those everlasting brown ones. It was quite encouraging. Now please don ' t blow up at what I ' ve said. You ' ve got a quick temper, but I will say, you cool down quickly and are good-humored and playful again. Dearest, I do want to thank you again for the Orchestra the other night. It was wonderful, especially the Wagner we both love so well. Do you remember last summer at the Dell? I ' m awfully lucky to have a boy friend who loves good music, but I still think it ' s a pity you don ' t dance. Now remember, Harold, early to bed, and win that race tomorrow. I ' ll be rooting for you. If you had a milk-shake instead of breakfast this morning, you ' d belter omit the afternoon one and just get your evening one at Doc ' s. Don ' t study too hard — I know that ' s one of your failings — and if you win, I ' ll take you to see Janet Goynor next week. Always, HAROLD FORT BODINE 6723 EMLEN STREET PHILADELPHIA, PA.

It is practically a sure thing. In spite of the very fine advantages of this college, my term is drawing toward a close, and it looks as if ' m going to get an honorable discharge. You are getting old, Mr. Brisbane. You can ' t keep that stuff up forever. Longfellow died even- tually. So did Wordsworth. Edgar Guest will, too. They ' re all the same, and you ' re no exception, no matter which way you put it. My point is this. In view of the hold you have put on the public with your platitude pounding, no one should gainsay the existential aspect of your column, or deny that you have figured out a way to sell the same old product with no change in price. But this country is changing, Mr. Brisbane. The American Public isn ' t so dumb as you think. I ' ve got a product that can match it. I think I con confidently say that given enough office room, time, salary, and cigarettes, I ' ll be able to dictate stuff that will make your head swim, though to be sure, you wouldn ' t duck if you got caught in it. What do you think I worked on the H verlord News for? Nothing? But before you mail me any papers to fill out, I want a few things put straight. All transactions are to be carried on in office hours and right in the Tribune Building. Nobody ' s going to know where I live or what I do in my spare time. If I like to do Settlement work now and then, or read Browning to my girl as we sit on the banks of a woodland stream, or go watch ' em do it at the Burlesque, well — that ' s my own business. And by It, at the Burlesque, I don ' t mean read Browning. I ' d like a reply at once. And by the way, could you let me have a five? My room-mates cleaned me out again last night. Yours truly, Lewis Bowen page forty-two Director of Rec ord Office London, England Dear Sir: This introduces my fairest-haired boy, Thomas Shipley Brown, a prophet with honor even in his own hamlet, the inspiring educational center of Westtown, Pa. I have great faith in Tom ' s making some brilliant discoveries in your office since he made a marvelous find here, which was, that if a student laughs at all of his professor ' s jokes, he is bound to make perfectly swell marks. One thing which leads me to think he will be a success as a bookworm is the remarkable rapidity with which he turns out term papers of an extreme degree of erudition. On the same day that I announce a choice of topics, he hands me a finished essay of some 25,000 words. He intends to teach English somewhere, but his genius would only be wasted in such an arid occupation (you ' re asking me?). I suggested that he tackle the problem of what was, say, the influence of Petrarch on the third assistant printer ' s devil in Heminge and Condell ' s printing establishment. The result of such a study performed in Brown ' s painstaking manner would be an addition of indubitable value to the world ' s present knowledge of Shakespeare. Besides that, the boy is no slouch at cricket. Who on earth wants to play that game, I don ' t know, nor care much, but Brown plays it. And, in England, it pays big dividends to be able to cavort occasionally on the crease, eh what? An important aspect about my progeny is his Ouaker make-up which shows clearly in his face, his robustness, and above all in his swearing which, while manly, is nevertheless the refined cursing of a gentleman who has glimpses of the Inner Light. Please oblige by permitting this young man (who also plays soccer, and instructs little tots in athletics at a nearby Ouaker grade school, if you care to know) to browse through your mass of . . . mate- rial. I am sure he will turn up something worth- while or grow gray-haired and impotent in the attempt. Sincerely, J. Beslie Batson THOMAS SHIPLEY BROWN WESnOWN, PA. Born 1912.

Of all the confounded languages, Hebrew is the worst.) I ' ll not answer you by tabulating the values of the classics. Instead I ' ll explain why did it. Your philosophy of life and mine ore different. Yours is based on religion and on the ethics ladled out by our reverend Gunga Din to poor damned souls burn- ing in the hell of insensibility. I have cut that Gordian knot and my philosophy is based on vanity. It pleased my vanity to take Hebrew and now Greek. Everything that I have done since my attainment to the age of reason has been done in accordance with this standard. To please myself is my highest aim. Don ' t mistake me. I am no misanthrope. Com- mon sense dictates that I conform in many respects to the usage of the times. I find it very pleasant to be friendly and agreeable to others and I hope my attempts have been successful and have lit the fires of friendship in the hearts of others. To my fellows I must appear as one who is fond of company, who studies for the sheer joy of intellectual effort, who does things quietly and cheerfully, who lends a helping hand to those less gifted. Indeed they might equate the word altruistic with my name. These things I have done for mine own pleasure. I know not whether in my heart I actually believe this doctrine, or whether I believe it only when defending it in argument, but this I do know: my life thus far has followed a pattern whose principle is hedonistic. Most sincerely. Fritz -cj:j :?5mj:4-, page forty-four Mr. H. J. Nichol The Lick Observatory Lickville, England Dear Herbie: Jeez it ' s been a long time since I ' ve had a letter from you. What the hell ' s the matter over there in England? Are you working on another of those vile, uncompromisingly degrading, half cocked, superficial mathematics books? My God, it ' s been twenty years now since the days when I could drag you back to any kind of normal, untrammelled, existence at hiaverford by making you brew me a cup of tea and listen to my reasons for thinking that Nothing Matters. Bah! Pooh! There ain ' t no God. I don ' t know why the hell I ' ve been working at English literature all my life. It ' s a disease with me. Can ' t quit it. One of the most ponderously pretentious, enervating, diabolically stultifying works I ' ve had to read for YEARS was one I just finished this morning — E. K. Chambers ' new work on Shakespeare. It ' s called What We Perhaps Know About The Man Shakespeare. God! It ' s in seven huge volumes and I ' ve taken ASSIDUOUS notes on the whole thing. It ' ll go into my thesis, but I ' m not iust sure where. My thesis is going to be on Chaucer, but I figured I could use a lot of this blasted scholarship iust as well. Classes are terrible. Some of the professors that are highly spoken of here are so fundamentally and egregiously STUPID that they don ' t know which is third base. But I should worry. I ' ve got my ov n classes to worry about, and I ' ve got them oil sewed up. I make my students write a thousand word theme for each class and correct each other ' s. This gives me more time to work on my thesis. You can say what you bloody please about duty to undergraduates, but I have found that the numb- skulls aren ' t worth it. Let ' em talk. I used to myself. They ' ll find out when they start teaching the stuff. Got another offer from the Atlantic Monthly to do an article on Shakespeare. I hate it, but I think I ' ll do it. y A f k JOHN LAFONTAINE DUSSEAU EAST LANSDOWNE, PA. Bom 1913. Entered from luinsdowne High School in 1930. Classical Club (1, 2), Debolino (1, 2, 3).

Dear Sirs: I hereby make application for Thurber ' s job on your magazine. You might say that that ' s on extraordinary request. Well, I am an extraordinary man. I have brilliant ideas in fact, I think they are swell. Here ' s what I can do — (1) Ploy the banjo — and sing a lot of long and scrimy songs, all of which will enliven your already rather ribald editorial sanctum. (Thai reminds me — here ' s one I will let you use for nothing. An editor gave me fifty thousand dol- lars for an essay on ' Cigarettes ' . I generally write on cigarettes, so I sanctum and took the fifty thousand dollars. ) (2) Keep a diary. Out of this I get a lot of ideas and approximately twenty-five approximately humorous essays a year. When I don ' t write about cigarettes, I write about my diary. (3) Collect books. This is really my passion, picking up books of all sorts and descriptions. My prize is one that ten cents bought from Leary ' s, a copy of Ala Baba and The Forty Thieves given to Uncle Bill when that estimable gentleman was a mere child prodigy. (4) Think up all sorts of systems. Say, you should see my desk. All I hove to do is think of an object, put my finger where it ought to be — and then look for hours until I find the darned thing. (5) Write in Old English. If you ever think of putting out a whole issue written in Chaucerian language, I ' ll do it for you, given a couple of rye highballs and being allowed to stay up all night. Well, look for me on June 10, for, Good old Father Knickerbocker bless you and keep you, I need a job. Get rid of Thurber by that time, for when the Gods arrive, you know, the half- gods must scram. Sincerely, O. F. E. page forty-six This is an excerpt from the pages oF Samuel Pepys ' diary in his seventh reincarnation: 14lh. Walking through Whitehall I heard the Duke of Wistar was gone to watch the Tennis, so I down to the New Tennis Court, and saw Sir Louis Flaccus play against my Lord of Hogenauer for the Virginia Cup. My Lord beat three, and lost two sets, they both, and he particularly playing well, I thought. Sir Louis, is very popular among his fellows and is Permanent Class President and Captain of the Tennis and basketball teams. Quite astounding. 15th. Comes our company to dinner my Lord Wistar, Sir L. Read, Lord Gene and Sir Louis, my wife and daughter. At nine to sup and then to cards, and last of all to have a flagon of ale and apples, drunk out of class mugs, which made all merry and they full of admiration for the presenta- tion of the cup to Lord Gene. Sir Louis bore his defeat manfully. Must see to it that he meets my niece for do feel they would come off splendidly, hie is slim and very graceful dances well, but in large company is shy and reserved unless the talk turns to Tennis. Learned from an intimate that Sir Louis is being pushed for an Ambassadorship to Germany, hlis command of the language is un- common. Was greatly astonished to find his bridge so good, shows much practice and knowledge of the rules, hie bid and made grand slam with poor cards well played. Sir P. Richards has failed to corrupt him, though certain low beings attempted to slander Sir L. by telling me that he strayed late at night and other frivolities to which I turned deaf ears. But after the company left me again, my wife nagging at me, begs for a new car. So, away to bed in a great huff, and feeling martyred but both agreed on Sir L. for our niece if possible.

Entered from Upper Darby High School in 1930 Philosophy Major. The Lurid Library Association New York City Dear Sirs: For a long time you have been sending me advertisements of books. It isn ' t entirely that I am getting sick of them; they do bore me, and I do throw them into the library waste-basket here, but they also have made me think of o way for you and me to make some money. Have you ever really sat down and thought about your advertising methods? If you have, I ' m ashamed of you. It is no wonder that the overage sex book company can ' t make as much money as it ought to. You pound away in the same old style. A while ago I had the oppor- tunity to sell an inexpensive pants presser. By sheer mellifluous verbal chicanery I managed to knock off a goodly number of sales. I don ' t preen myself when I say I ' m fairly familiar with the book racket. I ' ve been working in this library, watching the habits of students and librarians, for years. I know pretty well the subtle relationship between book and peruser. Let me give you a few suggestions: Instead of saying Aphrodite, complete and unexpurgoted, with twenty-five full page drawings by Wm. Le Nude. Limited edition. Order at once, why don ' t you take a more conservative spirit and say, Aphrodite be sure to mark down her accession number before you go. All you sex hawkers sweat away to make yourselves glamorous. What you need to do is to moke your prospects imagine that the book is already theirs. Say three cents fine is charged for all books overdue, and your customers will realize at once that there is no time to waste. I ' ve studied philosophy here at Haverford and I know a thing or two about human nature. ' T ain ' t all honey, t ain ' t all jam. There ' s con- servatism in it. I ' m conservative myself. I don ' t shout or scream or refuse to eat my supper. I take life as it comes, and earmark the seasons and ears that seem to sound a note of profundity. Remember what 1 say and quit your blatancy. Attain calm, even as 1 have done. Yours truly. Grant Frazer j..i«ti!Hc i.ip Kw:.vv.r ?i BKirB «sHta ' ,r,.:; ' - . ' iiini«««M page torty-eighl AMERICAN AIRWAYS CHICAGO, ILL. Special to Business Manager: re: Jack Morton Fultz, 2nd Following orders from the main office, I wish to report that a special investigation at the Col- lege attended by the above mentioned applicant for Pilot with American Airways brings a most favorable reply. Fultz is a tall, well-liked fellow greatly inter- ested in airplanes and fully qualified for accep- tance. He is not athletic and restricted his college activities chiefly to the Glee Club, an organization of which he was a very capable and very active member. Fultz was interested in [i s studies and obtained above-average grad es without being a severe student. Engineering was his Major subject and it is interesting to note that he was farsighted enough to enroll in Astronomy, a knowledge of which subject will greatly increase his value to the American Airways. f-le is a direct descendent of one of the signers of The Declaration of Independence although he does not make very much ado about the fact. At college he always arose on time and never was addicted to night life until his Senior year. His previous years had seen him living in Barclay Hall but when he moved to Lloyd Hall, for his last year, he took up quarters with two men named Haines and Bancroft. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, he began to stay out nights and was even frequently seen holding a lighted cigarette in his lips. In spite of these handicaps, he plugged on and maintained his usual high ideals and standards. The report is to the effect that Fultz was of varying degrees of success as far as his private love lives were concerned. He keeps all his friends, and the girls, too, wondering just what the outcome will be. A most notorious affair was held with a Mile. A-L. from Br n Mawr who is reported to have caused him much loss of sleep during the early years at College. However, Sulphur and Molasses plus the intervention of a smoothie from the class above, dispelled the illusion and Fultz began his spasmodic wanderings for fairer game.

Another thing, I must know more about your family, how they made their money, and, incidentally, how much money they have. Another thing, I must be allowed to read your moil, because if there is anything I hate it is to have someone (especially someone as intimate as you will be with me) know something that I do not. Another thing, I must be permitted to place my pictures all over the house — no high-toned oils or etchings for us — all the pictures will be my artistic photographs, many of which as you know, have taken first prizes in contests all over the country. Another thing, I am going to wear the type of clothes I desire to wear no wife of mine is going to criticize my suits, shirts or general appearance. I will have you know that the clothes I have been wearing since my father started to manufacture clothes are the best that money con possibly buy. And if I wont to wear race-track clothes, I am going to do so as often as I please, so there, there, and there. And another thing, if the above does not con- vince you as to who is going to be boss in our household, I will take the privilege of telling you — it is to be your future husband, lord and master, Leonard L.

History Moior. Dear Cynthia: I have never written to you beFore but I feel I must turn to someone now for advice since I am at a very important cross-road in my life. My dreams have all been blasted to teenie-weenie bits. Four years ago I met a most charming boy at a Society Bridge Carnival. Our meeting soon blossomed into friendship ond everything was beginning to look rosy. But, Cynthia, dear, this Bridge habit of his I fear does work evil. Is it wrong, Cynthia dear, for a boy to look so expert at such a game as Bridge? Maybe he slips cards out of his sleeves or something. Ever since that first night it has been my ambition to reform him. At first the experience was thrilling, the thrill of building up humanity and planning a better, richer life for both of us. Every Sundoy evening he came to our house for supper. I cooked while Mother and he talked of inspirational matters. Then he and I went to Christian Endeavor where his rich voice soon won him recognition as leader of the group singing of hymns. But, this Fall he stopped coming to see me. Can it be my cooking? Some of his college mates told him he was socially prominent and he prob- ably thinks he Is a little too good for me, although that does not seem like his true self. I love him so, worship everything he does. He has such a pleasant smile and -cuts his hair such a cute way. His excuse for staying away is that he has to study history and chemistry but I am almost certain he is out with a Betty Rho. I had much higher hopes tor him, too, maybe, someday he could be a big business man, a broker, a plumbing manufacturer, a book-seller, a teacher — all these ambitions teemed through his fertile brain. I fear that wine, woman and song will exact their toll and dim the Inner Light of his soul. What should I do? Ever hopefully thine, Miss Chestnut Hill P. S. Cynthia, it was those evenings alter C. E. that got me!! page fifty-two Madame Ecks, Mesmerist Pacific Ghost, Calif. Dear Madame Ecks: I am writing to you In weariness and disil- lusionment. I am tired of the life of an actress, and I am sick of the people I have to work with. I wonder if you can help me. Madame Ecks, I need a husband, a real husband. Not one of these flashy song-and-dance papas, and not one of these half-baked personality boys. I want someone natural, quiet, courteous, and dependable. Are there any of these left in the world? I wonder if there are any who don ' t smoke or drink or waste time in extra curricular activities? I wonder if there are any, even, who don ' t have slick black hair, or arr who have nice healthy complexions? Madame Ecks, I ' d like that kind of a husband — a strong rawboned husband who wouldn t bat an eye at all my tantrums and funny ideas. Some men are constantly shooting off their mouths about what they expect from marriage. I don ' t want that. Heavens, I ' d like to have a man who would take his marriage as plainly as he ' d eat Shredded Wheat. But I guess they were all killed off in the Boer War. Then again some men keep telling me I love you, I love you. None of that fake stuff for me. Why couldn ' t I meet a man who would say Hello when he sees me, and nothing else? Oh, I am sick of life. Please look into your crystal ball and tell me where to hunt for my dream husband, my strong, tousle-headed, silent man.

Dear Miss Lonely Hearts: Since you hove so graciously aided other poor, lonesome souls find solace for their restrained, but, nevertheless pronounced desires, I pray that you may be able to relieve mine. Miss Lonely Hearts, I want a WOMAN! And when I say I want a woman that ' s what I wants! No beating about the bush by saying that I should bury myself in work. No beating about the hedge by reminding me that I am too young to appreciate the full meaning of giving one ' s soul and body (tsk! tsk!) to a chosen mote. Ah, is me! Miss Lonely Hearts, such insinuations from you would be mere twiddle-twaddle. I wants me a woman! Some gorgeous, divine, statuesque-like creature with the form of a Goddess! A harmony of ethereal spirit! Truly, o paragon of the Gods. The ver personification of devotion to one man, namely, John Ogden Hancock, which Is I, the writer. • For all these demands I have not so very much to offer. I will graduate (the Administration being willing) from my college in the spring of 1934. Nor am I an athlete, though I con jump at an idea or leap at a chance. I doubt if I would simply slay all the women who shall meet me in response to this my fervent plea as typified by this letter and which I hope you will print in your daily column. But, Miss Hearts, I know my Jtuff, if you ' ll pardon the common vernacular, when it comes to Engineering and even English. All the boys think I am just peachy. 1 could write more but then I would be leaning towards bragging. With sincere wishes for prompt attention to this little matter, I close, John Ogden Hancock P. S.

You have as much chance of signing me up as a man in a leaky canoe in the middle of the ocean has of staying alive. It doesn ' t take any magnanimous mind to see that I am worth more than that. And as to your claim that I should play for you simply because my present woman lives in Reading, you know what you can do with that idea. Anyhow, Dean Brown who Is my po says he con get me a job with the Yanks, and if I keep up my wise-cracks (?) I will probably take Nick Altrocks place on the Senators. Did you hear the one I pulled on George Rice last year at training table? Boy, boy, was he mod, was he mad! About that money you loaned me. Listen, Charley, I mean Sam, I ' ll get that to you next week, sure. No kidding, next week, I ' ll have that dough right in your mitts. Sure Joe, and say, my father and mother want you to come out for dinner some time, and as a favor, will you bring Madge down with you. If you are still selling gasoline, could you let me have a couple of tankfulls on the cuff. The old man says he refuses to run a free bus line to Reading any more, and I ' ll have to buy my own gas from now on. And it doesn ' t take any mag- nanimous mind to figure out that that ' s impossible, does it Jack, Joe, I mean George? Have you seen Penn Charter play ball lately? Boy, they re going strong, going to win the pen- nant this year, nobody ' s close to them. I know that Montgomery shouldn ' t have beaten them, and that Penn Charter should hove had more than six points, but Sam ' s got them going like hell on wheels now. Listen Bill, I mean Charley, I have to go to a German class tonight, and then to an art gallery in the city. I ' m very fond of art — in fact I hove written an editorial on the subject. So I ' ll close now — but you ' ll have to pay more than $10,000 to get me! Your friend, Bill, I mean Fred FREDERICK HANNES HARJES, 3RD VAUEY FORGE, PA. Born 1912.

The prize-winning essay for 1933 on WHAT COLLEGE HAS DONE FOR ME AND WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR THE COLLEGE is herewith reprinted with the kind permission oF the writer, Samuel Hassman, and The Haverford College Board of Managers. When 1 started attending college all my Friends gave me the bird and five of my friends from the Bronx were on hand to give me a cheer. But, now, I may laugh at them and I may say to myself at any time, since I am a pseudo-Frenchman, Laugh, froggie, laugh. What has this marvelous college done for me? This divine institution founded in the year of our Lord 7833? Let me list the actual benefits: 1. I once kibitzed at Bridge; always the boy who kept the score but never a player. Now I play Bridge . . passionately, fondly and ador- ingly. To me, Ely Culbertson is Allah, before whom there is no other. Allah be praised! 2. Gasping a long sigh of shuddering ecstacy, I was formerly addicted to the smoking of Russian cigarettes. All this with exquisite tenderness. Now, I have learned to smoke ordinary weeds. My prosaic nature is affected neither one way nor the other by this acclimation. 3. For three years I was voted the worst waiter in the college dining -hall. This obiurgatory epithet bothered me not a jot nor tittle. I served them one and all with perfunctory tenderness and remained aloof in my precocious wisdom. Vive la France! Then, after years at Haverford I soon attained a skill rarely seen anywhere. These three accomplishments testify to the great value of what I have done for the college and what the college has done for me. More- over, I have saved enough money to make my first trip to the 6i ou (ooohhh . . la. LA). Even- tually, to a SPEAK and finally WEBER ' S (Camden). I owe all to Haverford. page fifly-si Actual interview, translated From the original Czech. The scene is poorly arranged in the bedroom oF Edward Hendrickson. Edward is there oF course, and there is the poor, sweating interviewer From the 1934 Annual. The whole aFFair went something like this: Man from the Annual: . . . Now certainly you must have other interests than your chosen Field, Engineering. Do you ever do any reading? Some people have favorite authors or authoresses. How about yourselF? Is there some book you have enjoyed more than others? Ed. the Engineer: . . . Well, I do not do much reading, only like along engineering or such.

Dear Sir: In your letter of the 18th of last month you ask, For the benefit of my reading public, how much of my Collegiate Rhapsody is autobiographical. Since I did not write the poem with the thought that any one would take such an intimate interest in myself, it is with reluctance that I confess that the section beginning Another one there was L. 695 down to he sweats like other men L. 727 is largely autobiographical. Sincerely yours Byron T. Hippie EDITOR ' S NOTE — For the convenience of our readers we have extracted this section and print it here below: Another one there was, a timid Texan lad; A oentle, only naughty, never bod Young man with curly hair and handsome face; A young Don Juan, but without a trace Of that great man ' s low dominating taste; He was like sad, unchosed Diana, chaste. He drank his beer and smoked a borrowed butt With some degree of grace, ond though he cut The cards at bridge with certain dash and style, He spoiled the main effect. For his shy smile Betrayed his inner, nervous perlurbaiion; In deed, in Fact, he lacked sophistication. The right to censor books he ' d never read. The right to dump another Fellow ' s bed, The right to wear a derby thus on all occasions, He felt were sacred, safe against invasions By any power less than God the Father, (And even he was ordered not to bother). Now Byron knew the economic world Wcs run by statesmen who just sat and twirled Their thumbs in tearful, FeorFul, impotence. And so to prove the grand omnipotence Of youth and theory, he rode the horse Of economics, ond by meniol force He solved the world ' s distress in one long paper, A clever, senseless, intellectual caper. This great work did, in College dialogue, Replace our old Sears-Roebuck catalogue Beside the seats of learning in the halls Of Center Barclay. But, alas, those colls To service for mankind have ceased since then; Down to earth, he sweats like other men. •-. ■• :. - ' i,Ttt: .-_ .i 5 page fifty -eight Mr. Bernarr McFladden Bleep Apxarlments New York City Dear Bernie: Thanks very much for the silver cup. Gee, I, — it was darn nice of you to go to all that trouble packing the thing up and everything, because Christmas, it really must have been a job. You say you ' d like to have a story from me about How I Got That Way for your new magazine to go along with the announcement? I really don ' t have time to write a whole story, but I could give you some hints. I won the Berserker Memorial Cup for Strong Men because 1 have spent years conditioning my body for it. There are certain things I believe in doing every day. (1) Eat just as much as possible (2) Think seriously about it while eating (3) Take good care of the digestive tract (4) Take exercise which your stomach would never think you had nerve enough to take (5) Gargle often (6) Go to the first show so you can get back in time to get plenty of sleep (7) Eat as much as possible. To conclude your story, you might give a resume of my intentions In life. I mean to follow along the suggestions I got from a certain course in ethics given by a man named Rufus Jones. 1 believe In the harmonious use of all one ' s potentialities. I believe that the subordinate aims of life — play, altruism, the aim at knowledge, and the aim at completion — should be fulfilled without stinting. I have fulfilled the first by playing foot- ball and tennis with all my heart and motor cue. The second I have realized by doing my bit In the college dining-room, carrying fodder to starving classmates. The third and fourth have been combined in my painstaking determination to land that college diploma. I believe In the Importance of the beloved community and have found spiritual release in that direction by singing In the glee club, as well as leading that organiza- tion. But above all 1 believe humon emotion reaches its height in married love. That ' s why I mail a letter every day to St. Augustine.

But, I do have good news For you, Mr. Pansy- stitch. Remember reminding me to keep on the look-out for an illustrator? Well, never in all my experiences of girdling the globe have I stepped — into such an experience as I am now going to tell you. I was seated in the train reading the recent roporf of Aoent No. 91, BALI BRASSIERES, their good pomts, which was not such a bloomer as I first thought, when, suddenly a young chop slipped down beside me. h-te hod been oitroctod by the title oF the report, ond, introducing himself as on Art Student from (he school near Peoria Corners, we soon were engaged in exchonging confidences. His name is something Itlce BLOTZ , . SNotz ... no, I have it . . . HOTZ. I sow some samples of his real-life poses (although he is shy when it comes to showing his work) and from these proofs, I om convinced he is our man. What is all the better, from our point of view, is that he has evidently had much experience with women. In fact, he assures me that each one has been more divine and more perfect than the previous ones, either collectively or individually. Of course — it sounded lilce exaggeration, but, we ' ll guard against such stuff. I learned from a slip that he pants for the essence of ChrJstion Science, as a religious dogma. He was inclined to argue upon ony phase of the creed. In fact he seemed inclined to argue about anything, not caring which side he favored, as long as he could argue. And, Mr. Pansystirch, he was on athlete oi college, playing soccer (some horrid kicking game) and tossing a slick called the javelin. He attempted to croon a song to show me that he reolly was in the Glee Club at Haverford. (Note: Get Miss Pantibodie to find out in what country Haverford is.) Fortunately, my sample-case fell from the rock over our seal and covered him with what-nots and ihing-mo-bobs, successfully stifling him for the time. I hope this thumb-nail sketch will let you know that I have had my mind on the company ' s business. Most devotedly, Anthony C. hiemise P. S. He is very thick when it comes to catching jokes, and, when you interview him, under no conditions should you pull his little finger at his suggestion. I assure you, Mr. Ponsystitch, the result will be very disillusioning. page sixty Mr. John Hazard The Old Clipper Ship Line Dear John: No I won ' t go to sea w ith you. Since you left college, I ' ve got bock to the style of life I like — no romance and sea adventure, but good old economics, governmental studies, sociology, and banking. I admit I can still lick you, and I keep in condition by running around the track every day and chinning myself in the showers, — but I ' ve got better things to do than to go hand over hand up the ropes on the mainmast, or to bring back the second mate after he ' s got dead drunk. I ' m going to live right here in the U. S. A. and I ' m going to make some dough. You had me bamboozled for-a long time, I ' ll admit. You used to make me think that the end of life was romance and adventure, and you persuaded me to major in English so 1 could get a good background tor appreciating Conrad. It ' s lucky for me that you graduated a year before me after all. During this last year I ' ve hod enough time to grind away at my practical subjects and thirty years from now when you are yelling Thar she blows! through grey whiskers I ' ll be telling my private secretary to buy me another thousand shares of Consolidated. Then see who ' s happier. Yah! As for that trip we mode to Philadelphia when we slept in the jail and found out how the unem- ployed live — I ' ve managed to study economics long enough to get over all your enthusiasm. The poor we always have v th us, John. Why don ' t you give Conrad a rest now and then and read the Bible? You ' ll never moke any money your way. I ' m sick of all your blather about an exciting life with no fears about material security. How will you ever support the 2.381 children that statistics say you must have a dozen years from now?

New York Times New York, N. Y. Dear Sirs: In response to your request For samples of my musical criticisms, I herewith enclose one week ' s output for the Haverford News. This is to sup- plement my application for the position of music critic on your paper. My column, incidentally, was the best part of the paper every week. Besides knowing an awful lot about the history and about the appreciation of music (I hate modern music it irritates the nerves sol) I am a connoisseur of beautiful women, ticket seller supreme for bum concerts, and a promising young medico (note the use of Latin derivatives showing extreme culture) I am very frugal, hitch-hiking to and from my home in Louisville, Kentucky. Here is the sample: Dear Music Lovers Everywhere, just everywhere, Perhaps we were expecting too much lost night at the Bijou orchestra concert, for it seemed to us that the orchestra lacked completely the pep that they showed the lost time I was there. The pieces, all well known and often played, pre- sented no great difficulty but the output gave me a pain in my aesthetic feeling. Gershwin ' s I Got Rhythm overture which opened the program, is a piece of little import. Therefore, we paid little attention to it, except once or twice when the roggedness of the horns was almost too evident. We ' re not so fond of Irving Berlin ' s works on the whole, and weren ' t overly pleased with All Alone, a tone poem. The counterpoint, what there was of it, was not at all clear (whether it was the fault of the orchestra or of Berlin, we can ' t say) and there was a great deal of unneces- sary blaring by the brass, we thought. The idea of the piece is fine — the meditations of a poet brooding by the telephone and his ultimate curseword, and his finally getting the right number, but it all needs better music. Don ' t expect a review next week, for we intend to stay away from the Bij until they stop playing these modern hotcha songs such as You Got to Be a Football Hero, and I ' ve Got the Jitters. I guess we ' re too old-fashioned, but anyhow we ' re not going. Sincerely, H. Bach Jones ;te: t i-i i$i ' J iiUij :4i ' i. yi page sixry-iwa Dear Nan: Since I saw you only last night, I have very little to report — except that I had the usual heavenly time followed by the usual long walk back. That campus — and you — would drive even Bill Carter to poetry. Away, however, with such drivel. Let me tell you about the paper I am writing for one of my English profs. The subject is The Prenatal Influence of Godwin on Shelley. I am trying to make it as hypnotic and satiric as possible, because this particular prof likes things that way. Up to this minute I have written exactly 738 words when I get to 1738, I shall take time out for Guy Lombardo. It has been ages since I danced with you! Did you know I was cost in another college ploy? You will be proud of me yet, for this time I have six whole lines to say, and I wear a full dress suit for three of them. They offered me the lead, but when it dawned on me that the hero was a seducer of innocent maidens, I could not bring myself to accept the honor. Sometimes my yearning for you becomes almost unendurable. I am so lonely in this world of men, and half the time even the men are not here or are here in such a way that you would not notice them. You see, one of my roommates studies every moment of his time that he isn ' t running around that fool track, and the other is always up at Reading, so I am generally very lonely. Your gracious allotment of some of your time to me means more than you will ever know. Only fifteen seconds are left for completing this epistle, and then my schedule calls for memoriz- ing some more poetry — these prep school teachers of ours are driving me to drink with their outworn Ideas! Well, as Keats said to Fanny Brice, Time ' s up now! Always, Bruce P. S. I ' ll come at 7.30 Wednesday. O. K. ? ROBERT BRUCE JONES 5538 WAYNE AVENUE PHII DELPHIA, PA.

The Following Is o French letter intercepted by the Post Office Department for no reason at oil except that Farley felt inclined to check up on something- They translated it and sent it to the Record. Dear Le Petit Chose; — This is indeed a strange country, and Philadelphia is its strangest city! Yesterdoy I was strolling across the Delaware River Bridge behind a very despondent looking young man. He was mutter- ing to himselF, and it sounded as if he were talking in French. Naturally interested in hearing my native tongue, I walked a little faster and soon caught up with him. He kept repeating five or six sentences in French, while looking straight ahead, and walk- ing with thoughtless but steady steps. J ' oime voyager en France. Jaime filles jollies. Jaime envoyer les fleurs aux filles jollies. J ' aime la Penn Charter. J ' aime etudier le francais. J ' aime Ben Bernie. Beg your pardon, ' said I politely. The stranger gave no reply, nor did he even glance at me, but in the same monotonous monotone, insisted on repeating those six loves of his. A fairly good-looking fellow, he attracted my deepest attention all the more since I sensed some impending disaster. He wore exquisite clothes, including a striking Blue and Gold blazer. But on he walked, never turning his head one way or the other, but continually mumbling to himself. When we reached the middle of the bridge, he turned to me suddenly and said something that sounded like Yowsoh. I laughed in his face, and his face turned black, and he bellowed (still in a monotonous monotone) Not even you appreciate my genius. Ah, said 1, what then is your genius? He replied, 1 con imitate Ben Bernie, have spent two summers in France, send many flowers to many pretty girls, bring the best-looking dames to the dances, and, above all, went to Penn Chorter whose emblem is embroidered on the breast of my beautiful blazer. Upon completing this list of his talents, he said dejectedly, But you have to do more than that to be somebody, and jumped gracefully over the railing. His body floated ephemerally through the air and was in my sight through its entire downward course. But, mirabile dictu, when it reached the river, there was no splash of water, not a ripple — the body made no impression on the liquid, nor could I hear it. It just silently dis- appeared. Is this not a strange country? Bon Soir, Jacques Renar page sixty-four The Erector Toy and Doodad Co. Dear Sirs: This letter will introduce my kinsman, Thomas Knight, who, I am of the firm opinion, will do you much good if you adopt him on your designing staff. It has always been my opinion that a great company like yours should pay more than cursory attention to the qualifications of the men it hires — In other words, that you should find out not only whether your prospective employees can think up Doodads, but whether or not they love to do so. Now I con unequivocably say that Tom does love this kind of work. From the cradle on through college this boy has been tinkering away at knick-knacks like nobody ' s business. But I have further reasons. Thomas is the man for you, for he understands the psychology of children who like toys and adults who like gim- crocks. Tom likes to sit in a big overstuffed chair smoking a special kind of pipe with his own Tom Knight (Middleton ' s) mixture as he sits there, his eye is liable to travel up the wall from the floor to the ceiling and bock again. Good place to run a cord and o couple of rheostats for that old electric cigar lighter of mine, he will likely be thinking. Before the day is out, the chances are that Tom will be able to sit in the same choir, with the same pipe between his teeth, and in the some position, and be able, without so much as moving a great toe, to throw a switch, adjust a rheostat, and light his pipe. (You see the lighter operates by a spark gap between the lighter and the silver stem core of the pipe. The rheostat is to control the violence of the bombardment of sparks on the tobacco.) Perhaps others could show as much inventive acumen, but few could show it combined with such ideal philosophy — namely, that of ease, com- fort and pleasure. Give this man a whacking good salary so he con buy himself the eases, the comforts, and the pleasures of life, and you will see a Newer and Better Doodad Company.

I ' ve wanted to write you a letter for months, but my Theological work has kept me on the ball every minute. You know, by Jeez, it ' s a funny thing how I got into this racket in the first place. Twenty or so years ago when I was just a kid starting in college, I thought I wanted to be a minister. No stuff! That was before I came under your influence. Of course, then, there was a time when I thought I wanted to gel a Ph.D. in Government and take bar examinations and teach in college and maybe go into public life. Public career! That ' s what I ' m doing, all right, but being head of the First Faithhealing Spiritualist Union is something different from being state legislator. Last week I cured a couple of coses of paralysis by laying on of hands. She was some looker, too, by Jeez. Lamy, I thought you and I could do each other some good. Why don ' t we team up? I ' m getting rather sick of this territory around Philadelphia, and I ' m also getting a little conscience-struck. Sometimes I think it would be better even at this late date, if I turned to something clean like politics. Don ' t get me wrong. I don ' t want to chisel in on you. I ' ll sell my outfit down here very reasonably to one of your bunch then I ' d come down to Los Angeles and do just enough work For you — stenographic if you want to — to carry me along quietly for a while. You may think I ' m crazy, but I want to read some philosophy — espe- cially Nietzsche and Tolstoy and Bergson. I ' d also like to hove you introduce me to some of the babes there in Hollywood. In other words, I wont a little peace and meditation. If at the end of a year or so of it, I want to decide to go bock to my original plan of economics and government, I ' ll do so. If not, I ' ll reserve the right to buy back my old outfit and tell the public I ' ve been away to the Holy Land. Let me know. Yours, Herman page sixty-six TO THE READERS OF THIS ANNUAL! AHENTION! PLEASE! Dear Reader: We, the dear editorial staff, tiave called to your attention the fact tfiat you are now touching a page hallowed by its consecration to one of our class-mates, Douglas Lockard, the Baltimore Chemist with an eye on The Pennsylvania Medical College, God-willing. We are awed by the futile attempts at writing an appropriate persons! letter for this likeable young man for no one seems able to handle the delicate job. To get a good mental image of Doug, just draw a short, straight line. There you have this young chap. For, he is as keen-wilted and as neat- appearing in manner and mannerisms as the care- fully plotted line. But, we cannot devote a full page to that. Doug is delightfully dumpy and would easily pass at a masquerade for a pudding-dumpling, with gravy. Yet, we cannot write an entire page over somebody being dumpy, or looking like a dumpling with gravy. He studies an awful, awful lot and when he finishes, he studies some more. He did next year ' s work, last year, and last week ' s assignments two years ago and he had all his Ethic ' s papers written hen he was a Sophomore. You know, and can see the point, Doug is like that. Always days and days and years ahead of everybody else in getting his homework done. But, you can ' t v rite a whole page because a guy does his homework, can you? He likes baked beans. Finish that yourself. A regular shark at Bridge. Heck, all we can think of is to call him cute and lovable. The staff admits defeat on this assignment and offers a reward for persons calling at t he Staff Headquarters, said persons being able to do better than this.

History Major. Dear Bennie Loewenstein, Jr.: You have been at college two months and It is about tiine for you to have a little advice on HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL WHILE AT HAVERFORD From experience I know just what I am talking about so don ' t you go asking me silly questions. In your first place, be friends with everybody who is of importance: professors, students or anyone else on the campus. There are, of course, various and divers ways of creating valuable friendships, but, since you are a chip off the old block, you have Inherited a natural tendency along these lines. In the first year, do not study too hard, but get out after the big campus activities. This will moke your marks extremely low at first, but then you can work more assiduously in the last two years and, maybe, win the Improvement Prize. Do not bother with a girl until your senior year and then choose her only from Vassar or some other high-class college. She herself should be of the first water and to her you should devote yourself with all your heart. Do not go in for any rough stuff, son, for sex is a beautiful thing and a man must have a happy family life, with plenty of incomes, substantial insurance, and healthy children. Guard your tongue carefully and even though you may find it in your power to know fully what the entire campus is doing in its spare moments, do not be a news-dispenser. The one thing you must positively not do is to edit your class annual. I have many reasons for this warning; you lose all friendships you so carefully established and nobody wants to write-you-up for the blame thing. Please give much thought to this advice from a loving papa, Father Benjamin J poge sixty-eight I Hello! Clarence: Without a doubt I owe you an apology for letting this letter go as long as it has but you know how things have been at Dad s place and I hove been head over heels in work trying to get the muddle straightened out. With regard to this fellow Loomis, about whom you wrote, let me assure you that I believe he will be the man needed and most suited for the job you have at hand and I am delighted that he mentioned my name for reference. While at college he was a Physics Major and since you yourself failed to pass your Physics I Final Exam, you are aware of what stuff this fellow has in him. He was extremely good-natured while at school and I con say without exaggerat- ing that Dave did not have on enemy during his four years there. In fact, he was the focal point for much good-natured teasing, all of which would hove driven you or me or hundreds of others to seek for means of revenge. Instead, Dave seemed to laugh most heartily when the joke was on him. He is, though, a little bit shy and I never saw him pal around with many of the fellows. He is gifted with a friendly nature, however, and will gladly talk when once started. He is content to mind his own business and faithfully performed any tasks assigned to him, a fact which you will be especially glad to hear and have doubtless observed for yourself by this time. He is not a rapid-fire boy and takes his time In whatever he does, reaching the ultimate goal at his own speed, but he always reaches what he goes after. I hope you will be able to get him to work a little more rapidly than when he was at College for while he has efficiency he certainly must combine it with speed if he wishes ♦o stay with you. The thing I remember most about him is the day he occidenriy set his hair on fire. It happened in the Chem. Lab. and caused much excitement. The Chem. Prof, rushed in and surprised Loomis by charging him fifty-cents for a SINGE! This letter isn ' t much but it tells you as much as I know and I hope it helps.

He ' s positively the sweetest thing. He ' s got curly black hair, fair skin, and SUCH eyes . . . He likes me to call him Don Juan — vvhy, God only knows — but it seems to please and when he looks pleased he is ABSO- LUTELY irresistible. He gets all flustered and smiles In a sheepish way and says in a big gruff voice Cut it out. He tells me he ' s quite an aviator too. He ' s got ever so many hours of solo flying to his credit towards his commercial license or some such thing. It ' s all very complicated. He knows such a lot about flying — wing spreads, and radio engines, and slip seams, and stream lines, all of which he tries to get across to me, and in self defense I nod and brightly say, Yes. Of course. And you know, he ' s o budding AUTHOR. The other night he finally opened up and let me in on the great secret. His next story is almost bound to be accepted by some pulp magazine I ' ve forgotten its name . . . Hell-Birds Awing or some such title. But he ' s the most self-conscious boy about it. He won ' t show me the stories. He says, Aw, you wouldn ' t like them. Anyway, there ' s too much swearing in them. Pardon me. He tells me he ' s quite convinced the boys at college that he ' s never been drunk. Well, I suppose it is a matter of definitions. He ' s a nice kid but he certainly does choose the wettest set of bosom pals. There was one from Norristown. All he talked about was Bulcks. Can you imagine? Well, write me soon. Yours truly. Bettie G. Dear Mother and Dad: College is great and you would never recognize your young son now since he is all rigged out in an attire commonly, and I mean commonly, called the Rhinie Outfit. But everything is done in fun and no one seems to mind so very much, realizing that the Rhinies get their chances on the next class that comes in. Dad asked me to look up about his friend ' s son, Bob McKee, and I hove met Bob several times. He is a large, good-natured egg, full of fun and almost always laughing with a most enormous chuckle that sounds like the bull we have down in the pasture. This Bob is really huge in size, built In the form of a rectangle with light hair. I have learned already that he has two pet hobbies, namely. Photography and Golf. Not only is he playing a big role along photographic lines for the year-book of his Senior Class, but Bob has played with a marked degree of success in many golf tournaments. You should get to know him, Dad, in spite of the fact that you just broke two hundred. His size, bellowing voice and good-nature have all helped to give him such nicknames as Mac, Dotten, Bruggy, Lord Plushbottom and a host of others which it would be too difficult to remember. When he isn ' t tied around a camera, he is driving a golf ball up and down a nearby lawn with several of his friends. I understand that he loves to tour the country in his Ford and has made several trips out West. One of them was a regular camping trip with a Hinkie Haines, whose father you know also. Dad. Hinkie and Bruggie must have had the time of their lives for 1 have often heard them speak about their journey. I almost forgot to tell you that Bob is the Captain of the 1934 Golf Team, having received this distinction following three years of splendid play. That is positive proof that he has a host of friends. Well, I must have this off in a few minutes to catch the mailman. I ROBERT WILSON MCKEE 414 SOUTH 47TH STREET PHILADELPHIA, PA. Born 1911.

Resting in a corner of an old closet a Diary was found, relic of another day. A fev whisks of the handkerchief and a slow thumbing of the pages, then to stop at: To my Diary: Well, old diary, I have left Bill Maxfield at the station for his trip back to Columbus, Ohio. I hated to see him go. Somehow he was so much fun and so sincere and conscientious in whatever he tried. I can remember loads of things about Mox as so many of us called him. He was greatly interested in Engineering even though his father is a Psychology Prof, at Ohio State U. And speaking of that University reminds me of the way Bill used to praise it. You often wondered why he never went there. Everything the gang used to argue about would be greeted with Bill ' s Now, out at Ohio State they do . . and then would follow a glistening tale of that apparent paragon of all colleges. And he was pretty good at German, too, altho ' he was better on the Sax. Gosh, that Sax. He was kinda all pepped up with that thing. Diary, when we were Rhinies, but we gradually talked him out of it. It wasn ' t seen after the middle of our Soph. year. Yes, and I remember the way he loved to skate. Morning, noon and night . . . heaven only knows when he got his work done . . . the Mox would be down skating. He was fairly clever on stunts with those steel blades. Outside of ice skating he wasn ' t so very much In athletics although in his Senior year he showed consider- able promise as a Football player. There, as in everything else, he gave all he had. I have often wondered. Diary, whether that girl over in Germantown was really a cousin as he claimed. Gosh, for a cousin he was sure inter- ested in her. Although another girl named after a cigar and The World War began to rear her head into what had been peaceful harmony. But, there used to be a girl from Swarthmore College. I wonder whatever became of her. Do you know. Diary, I used to like her myself a little. He was a fit companion for Lord Plushbottom McKee and Shorty Atmore when it came to doing Indian War whoops. Good old Mox. Goodnight, Diary M page seventy-two Mr. Edgar Blest The Great Middlewest America Dear Eddie: I am enclosing some verse I recently discovered in the Journal of Profound Matf)ematics. It is by a young graduate of Haverford, one Nichol. I think it has unity, coherence and emphasis. It is an unusual thing for poetry to appear in a mathematical publication, and I think the implica- tions are great for you and myself. Here is the poem: SONG OF THE PARABOLA Surd of rhe North rhol rests in quadratic gloom, Where are your asymptotes, your fiery binomials? The focal points that hung on function ' s bosom From the mathematical womb to the mathematical tomb. Awaken! Think v hat has gone into that poem! Think of the scope of sympathy a man must have to produce such an effect of love, forgiveness, hesitancy, challenge — all in the ineffable realm of numbers! I tell you we have made a find. Of course I found out what I could about this Nichol. He studied mathematics when he was at Haverford, developed a reputation for puns (something you and I will have to look into and suppress), and got many letters from a young Spanish girl. Putting these facts together, I determined to meet him, but when I went to his rooms in New York, I couldn ' t find him. They say he is so short that he often escapes notice, so I haven ' t exactly given up hope. But bock to this poem. I feel that it is a lesson for both of us, especially you. I ' d like to see you get a little of the same rich spiritual suggestion into the poems you write about raisin pie and the kitchen range. Nichol shows that it is pos- sible to be at once a student of that most abstract and rigorous thing, mathematics, and yet to be thoroughly human. I wager the rascal uses pro- fanity. I know the type. And he would be one to complain about the food. Composers of verse never did bow to the status quo. Yours, Amy Slowell HERBERT JAMES NICHOL 43 SOUTH CLIFTON AVENUE • ALDAN, PA. Born 1913.

J page seventy-four Dean Falnall Clown Haverford College Haverford, Penna. Dear Sir: We have, in our so-called jail, a young man, claiming to be a Senior in your so-called college. He says to write to you for reference and bail; he says if you can ' t give him a clean bill and boil, God in heaven above only knows. We nabbed him for going through a red light, and smashing into the car of our so-called mayor. Oh yes, his name is Asa Wing Potts (so-called Si, for short). Now, Si pulls a long cock-and-bull stor about how he is slightly color blind, says he can ' t tell the difference between red and green. Well, it all looks rather fantastic to my way of thinking, to say the leost. Si soys he tells whether to go ahead or stop by looking at the light and seeing whether the upper space is lit or the lower one; soys he can tell that way. Well, Dean, it so happens that in our town things in general are reversed, and the lights in particular, and so he crashed, with little doubt existing as to whether or not he crashed. Anyhow, he crashed. Now, Dean, can you tell me whether Si, as you know him, is telling the truth about himself. To further identify him in your mind, I might add, that at the time we apprehended him (and we had to run pretty fast and jump rather high to catch him) he was unshaven, wearing the damndest- looking gold rim glasses that 1 ever saw, dressed in a horrible combination of red shirt, green tie and corduroys, the latter being extremely sloppy and held up by polka-dot suspenders. Not only is he held on charges of so-called assault and battery by automobile but we also think he is a trifle daffy. His conversation is a terrible jargon of principles of economics, chem- istry and socialism. He keeps repeating, 1 should never hove changed Majors but maybe 1 should have. Well, 1 can play soccer and 1 can ploy soccer, and I can high jump. Do you wont to subscribe to Charity, a little bit, mister? It all befuddles us, Dean, can you help? By the way. Si mentioned that you might need a good detective around your campus, how ' s about it? Sincerely, So-Called Police Commissioner ASA WING POTTS 254 WEST WALNUT LANE • GERMANTOWN, PA. Bom 1912.

Economics Major. Miss Elizabeth Wiswall Wellesley College Wellesley, Mass. Dear Miss Wiswall: Do you, or do you not, know Mr. Philip Richard- son? This is the reason we ask: Early in the fall of his Senior year, Philip who has a charge account with us, ordered some stationery — 200 sheets and 200 envelopes, with your name and address printed on the front of the envelopes. He charged the order — $4.50 — but he makes so many trips to Wellesley (to see a girl he knows up there) and to Falmouth (to see a girl he knows up there) that he cannot pay our bill. Could you pay us the sum,- after all, the things had your name on them, and you have most of them by this time. Could you, Miss Wiswall, would you? There, that ' s our business letter, now let me tell you about this fellow Richardson. He is naturally a reticent boy, so probably doesn ' t tell you all about himself. In fact, if he acts around your house like he acts here, he no doubt sleeps 95 per cent of the time — and comes to meals late, never uses soap, and charges you for rides in that big, beautiful Buick of his. First of all — he is the dirtiest soccer player in the Eastern League. Then again (the thing about which he boasts most often) he took French 2 for so many years that he was eventually made Professor of Romance Languages-(where he would obviously be quickly forgotten) but he was fired soon thereafter. The president asked him one day who wrote Com- fort ' s French Composition and your Hero (ours also, confidentially) didn ' t know! He has never brought the same girl to any of the college dances. Among one-fourth of the Student Body he is the most unpopular man on the campus because of the fiendish tortures he perpetrates on the Rhinies. He has darling black wavy hair, and the nicest skin — but, of course, you know all of his physical attributes, so we won ' t bother you with them. In closing may we repeat our first plea — could you, would you. Miss Wiswall? Sincerely, Manager of the Haverford Co-Operative Store page seventy-six The following letter was intercepted by the Year Book ' s own mystic and is herewith presented minus Mr. Foxy ' s quaint misspelling — mainly because we ' re too lozy to try an imitation of his style . . . Dear Thomas: Much doth thy activity on Haverford ' s greens- ward warm the cockles of my heart. Never have I seen such wholehearted support of the Inner Light since my early connections with the Seekers. Thomas, believe an old hand at the game of righteousness when I tell thee thot thee hath oil the characteristics necessary to make a name for thyself in Quakerdom. Thy determined chin, thy quiet manner till thee is aroused, thy belief in a pure body and a pure mind, and thy distrust of war as a means of international policy — all these i had, and my predecessors before me. Thee should go far in thy chosen profession of Quaker — and those mild blue eyes which at times hove a divinely earnest glint! Oft hath my spirit watched over thee in the Students ' Council meetings. Amidst all the ungodly clamour in those meetings, thee hath kept thy head and insisted on clear and concise interpretations of the rules. Although other members are intent on getting out of the conclave as early as possible, thee hath continually insisted on getting things right. Might I odd that some county in the kingdom of heaven will be set aside for those rare and square-jawed men who take their jobs seriously? And I am glad, Thomas, that unto thy heart thee has taken a virgin for love and admiration. She ' ll odd years unto thy life, even though she bothers thee now with eight- and ten-page letters. Thomas, I am deeply interested in thy fight against the CMTC. That institution must go, and your breaking off diplomatic relations with a dear friend because he signed up with that arm of the devil will help destroy it.

Admiral Byrd Little America, South Pole 5-6-40 Dear Sir: I received your radiogram asking my help in getting a young man to help you in your work. I recommend most highly one of our youngest and most able graduates. His name is Norman J. Rush. I consider him mentally and physically fitted for the tasks you mention. In the first place he is chubby. Those extra layers of blubber will keep him warm, and in case of necessity would furnish you a great many units of energy if taken internally. (Shake well before using.) Also you might find it convenient to disguise him as an Eskimo Fuller Brush man in order to obtain detailed informa- tion about the private lives of your native neigh- bours. In the second place he plays bridge with a persistency which is matched only by his rashness in bidding. He has played through so many long evenings here at college that I am sure you would find him willing to make a fourth at any time during your Antarctic night. In the third place think of having a pole-vaulter in your party, airily jumping from floe to floe on his way to get food and sup- plies for your wrecked party! In fourth place he ' s clever with his feet yes, a soccer player. He might possibly train a couple of seals for you with those nimble feet of his. So you see. Admiral Byrd, I think you ' ll find this young man one of the most enticing bargains you ' ll ever run across in a day ' s shopping. Sincerely yours, Agatha T. Quack P. S. He ' s a good doctor. What a bedside manner! J pogo s«venly-eight Dear Henry: Mrs. Dhandi and I were extremely glad to get your letter, and we thank you for all the good recommendations from your philosophy professors, your college president and your society friends. Granted that there were the kind of position here that you want — teaching philosophy and tutoring thirteen-year-old girls, — I have no doubt that you would fill the bill perfectly. I con see that your problem is a real one — whether to stay in the U. S. and to get a good job in business so you con marry and settle down, or to return to Egypt. From what your professors say, I have no doubt that you have enough moral stamina to combat these difficult conditions in Egypt, or even in India. But, Henry, it takes more than that: you need to be religious. Have you got religion? Have you lost your faith? If I didn ' t have religion, I don ' t know where I ' d be. I think you ' d better stay in America another year and try to pull your ideas together. But let me give you a few suggestions. Throw your Rubiayat into the waste-bosket, and put Stevenson ' s Apology for Idlers into an old bureau drawer where you won ' t find it. Hang up your tuxedo for a year, put on your overalls and go back to the fields of Nebraska and pitch hay. See if you can go for a whole year without falling in love. Quit the cigarettes, and the pipes, too. Give movies and burlesque shows a rest for a twelvemonth. Spend so little money that you won ' t even have to think about that careful expense account. Leave your com- rades when you can and go off by yourself and meditate. Then, and only then, should you think about coming to India and studying Indian philosophy. Am I the voice of your conscience, Henry? I have a sneaking notion that I am. I don ' t want to be a wet blanket, but I have another sneaking notion that you ' ll end up with a good steady job with Vacuum Oil or Provident Mutual. But that ' s all right. You ' ll make a good family man. Happy birthday, and don ' t take my words too seriously. Yahatma Dhandi HENRY GIFFEN RUSSELL ASSUIT COLLEGE ASSUIT, EGYPT Born 1912.

History Major. ! iim SOClALlSr lALI Mil ): PEACE MARCHES ON ACT I Setting oFf stage can be heard the roaring oF cannons as they fire a nineteen hundred and one-half gun salute. A military band is playing ■LONG LIVE THE DEMOCRATS . Twenty million and seven fully armed soldiers stand with bayonets drawn. Suddenly a bugle is blown. Then another bugle is blown. Then, to make it even, two blowns are bugled and a path exactly seven-eighths of an inch wide appears through the angry mob of drawn bayonets and a young man is seen walking on his hands across the bellies of the dead and wounded, collecting postage stamps before him. It would be foolhardy to say he appears war- like, as he places on the floor his revolvers and two gas-masks. From around his neck hangs a chain of withered human skulls. Roger Scatter- good, for ' tis none other, has been doing some tall skull-duggery. In an instant, in an instanter instant, he is before the microphone. He speaks: I am Scaltergood, leader of the movements for peace. I am against everything concerned with War . . . War . . . Wars. Crimes and Wars . . . Wars you there, Charrlie? ( lere Roger ducks a rotten pineapple plant which explodes with a bang, blowing oft the back of the auditorium) . . . ' have done much peace carovaning for my cause and should be made the head of all Peace Move- ments . . . Drop your arms . . . Might will not make right . . . My experience in the College Liberal Club has shown me that ... I am the head of my College Club, (so there) (someone stabs him in the leg with a penknife, but Roger, does not seem to mind since the doctor told him he was to have as much iron in his blood as he could stand. Roger is still standing.) . . . What if I am a Quake? ... I can hold my own with the white people ... I am equally at home with the common people and the conventional types . . . Down with Capitalism . . . Hurray for Cap- italism . . . (notice how he plays with the mob!) . . . I am a man of many interests, and have been on my college track team ... I am ever awake . . . (But, here Roger is interrupted by a voice reminding Roger of the night he, Roger slept out all night when his car became frozen, Roger not even telling his Dad. Roger, at this unexpected attack on his good name, wilts like a lily, and tlys thru the ceiling). page eighty Somewhere in Tabasco, Mexico December 22, 1933 Dear Father: I meant to call up before leaving for Mexico to tell you I was going and why, but a card game got going in Fifth Entry (incidentally, my luck changed, and that ' s where I made enough money to take the trip) and it continued so far into the night that by the time it was over I knew you ' d be in bed. This is why I came down here — last week I read about the convention of the National Revolutionary Party in Queretaro in which Senor Perez, a delegate, said There is no God. God exists only in petrified souls. Down with God. Says I to myself, that Perez son-of-a-gun is a genius, for I have noticed that all genii have been atheists. So I hopped off by plane from Camden (after stopping at Weber ' s for a beer or two) and am now in Tabasco at Perez ' s home, having a darn fine time. Already I know enough of the language to talk about calculus to his son ' s tutor in fact beginning next week I am going to be the tutor. I plan to go back to college in time for the com- prehensives, and since I am only taking two of them, there will be no trouble from that quarter. What I am worrying about is the Math Club what they and Little Al will do without me is more than I know. But I will write to them often. Senor Perez has asked me to join his party, but you know how much I detest ioining any organiza- tion the only reason I joined the Math Club was because I couldn ' t help it. This will have to be a short note I fear, because some of those lousy Mexicans are shooting things up to beat all hell down in the town below our hacienda. Senorita Perez (what a babe she is, too) says they are clearing the way for a new president, and I want to be there at the finish of the present administration. As Einstein says in Relativity, xi, x , =pi, Q ' , or Merry Christmas to you. Pop, and three good glasses of beer.

To my adorable Dr. Horsedon: Do you realize that the ape can catch your cold and you can catch his? That sentence means nothing, and I only put it there to catch your eye and to attract your atten- tion to that bit of composition which I am now writing to you, so to speak, that Is to say, as it were. I have always admired you and respected your opinions and it is For those reasons, mainly, that I am taking the Government Major. Your thoughts and ideals spur me on to better thoughts and reasoning and it is for your own good and my personal benefit that I am interested enough in you to remind you tactfully that you con catch the ape ' s cold and he can catch yours! It is from your guidance and inspiration that I once carefully decided to go out and conquer the world, although I have long since given the idea up as a bust. (You Mae-West assured I do not hold it against your dogma. Get it? The pun, I mean? About Mae West and — ?) I wish I could find your romantic side, fori, too, am a little romantic and the boys take secret sport, some of them do, anyway, in making sport of my marcellishly shaped hair. I do wish you would find time to drop into my room for a cup of coffee, which I frequently brew. Romance is a great thing. Even horses have romance and sex, I am told. You can see how our minds run in different lanes together. I am also interested in automobile designing and I would be very glad to show you my drawings at any time you mention. Added to this will be found my passion for horses since they are such dumb but understanding animals. 1 love them. Do you? I am not much of a one for athletics but do adore indoor sports and games. I think Scratch-as- scratch can is swell. Don ' t you play that some- times? But, there goes Founder ' s Bell for dinner, and with this I leave. Anticipatory, Clinton Scilipoti page eighty-lwo Scalpwell Medical School Scolpwell, Pa. Dear Sir: You ask me for a recommendation of Frank Siebert to your Medical School. I believe I can throw both light and mud on the subject. This Siebert, it should be said at the outset, has a passion for the art of medicine, he is serious, and, without a doubt, it could be said that he is a boy of irrefutable probity. He also wears glasses. But there are details I must come to in a minute which may put rust on these golden words. This Siebert boy loathes women, and he abhors English literature, especially Byron, Kelly and Sheets. Do you think it is right for the American public to have such a one-sided whippersnapper learning the art of needle, scalpel, saw and axe? He might very well be called to the bedside of a bleeding poet or a jitter woman and throw over all his art merely to cash in on, consummate, and materialize his theories. He might kill. Think of that. But let me not to the marriage of true minds admit predicaments. If Frank Siebert doesn ' t cultivate the humanitarian graces, he certainly cultivates flowers. Was denken Sie? Quien sobe? Et la! A heart that goes out to leaf and tendril cannot be adamant to vein and artery. A man whose ground-swell ideal goes deep enough to include xylem and phloem, cannot, I state, be wholly destitute of the bowels of Com- passion. And may I add. Sir, that I am having a hell of a swell time writing this letter. To conclude briefly with pertinent facts. Siebert likes Indian archaeology. Siebert hurdles on the track team. Siebert likes to work in the laboratory. Siebert is a gangling youth, but has faith, hope, and charity. Can you say the same of yourself? Yours awfully truly, H.

Dear Sir: I understand that the Bureau of Fisheries is in your department. If so, you are the people I would like to talk to. My personal ambition is to have installed in the Federal Government o Bureau of Buggeries. If fishes have fisheries, certainly bugs may have buggeries. That is only logic, pure and simple. For the head of this new bureau I recommend my roommate I am modest myself and would only desire to be Administrator of Firecrackers and Water Fights. The directing personnel of this bureau should be extremely youthful in order to carry on the necessary arduous labors entailed in thinking up novel and annoying buggeries to be carried out. We two are admirably fitted for the jobs in that direction, being very youthful indeed — for reference, write to the Haverford Students ' Council or the Hsverford News. I would suggest that the new bureau be called BIA. The government has already installed the NRA, ECPC, FCA, CWA, CCC, AAA, HOLC, and the new part of the alphabetical soup could be called, as I said before, the BIA — Buggery Inception Administration. Win Smith and I have already thought of a slogan from these three letters out of which and around which a propagandical poster might be drawn. The slogan is, Bia firecracker and blow up the whole contraption. This attention to the smallest details shows how thoroughly we have delved into the plan we propose. Haverford graduated me as an engineer Win is planning to be a preacher of no mean repute for slinging it, so you may be sure, Mr. Secretary, that our plan is both technically, and spiritually perfect. I must close now since someone outside my room is yelling Fire, the call to arms that tingles the blood of every true Bugocrat. Sincerely yours. Singer Doge eighty-four Haywire Sweater Co.

I am quite an athlete at Haver- ford, participating in almost all of the Major Sports and being an interested spectator to those sports which are not fortunate enough to have me participating In them. All the coaches will gladly make mention to you of my athletic skill and ability. I am directly connected with the Football, Basketball and Baseball Teams and only the other day told the coaches that I was undoubt- edly the Greatest Athlete ever to attend Haver- ford. Besides that I play Bridge and even Mr. Culbertson says I am a card. (Do you gel it, Mr. President?) Now, Mr. President, what I want to write to you about Is one of your sweaters. Since i cm a Varsity man, I hove many Varsity Insignia to display. At the present time I am wearing two letters on the front, two on the back and one on the front inside. I have a set of numerals sewed on under the right arm-pit. Now, I wear this sweater practically all the time so that the boys will know I am an athlete and of late I hove noticed that one of the sleeve ' s knitted threads has started to give. Mr. President, isn ' t there some way your company will make amends for this imperfection? I am also connected with other activities at College, namely the Day-Students League The Bridge Playing Club Howard Comfort ' s Latin Guild Haverford College Bounders Club Attend- Every-Dance Club Be-a-Big-Shot Union and The l-Am-for-Smith Propaganda Society, among many others. I am well known to all the boys and played an Important port in the celebration of the Cen- tenary of the College. Naturally, I put your sweater to the most severest of tests and am a splendid ad for the Haywire Sweater Company. Please let me know, Mr. President, as soon as possible, your Intentions.

I ' ve got a couple of your Main Line debs on the line, and you ' re in for a sure-fire evening. Save all your energies — let Pop fume a day or so. Of course I know the aim of your life is to make good in your track efforts, but for the sake of our passion flowers, take just one day off. Don ' t take your lap on the track this time. I stopped by to see you last Sunday. Asked a Freshman where you lived, but he needed a graphic description before realizing you were one of the denizens of Quaker hieaven. I said you were the Quake with the convict haircut, the beaming smile, the brownish brown suit, and the pigeon-toed bouncing walk. Then he caught on. Oh I know who you mean. I generally see him walking down to the Chem. Lab., but some- times I see him walking back. Now I know where you spend your time. How do you get along at Newport in the summers without a laboratory ' ' Your sister told me you go sailing all day, and steer by slide-rule. She said your suit has a specially designed slide-rule pocket. Then when you want to know what time it is or which way the wind is blowing, your instrument is right handy. But you can leave your slide-rule behind this time, Smeese my boy. You won ' t need it with these Main Liners, so let Norm play with it. He ' ll wonder at your leaving it behind, but he always wonders about your week-ends. Sometimes I even do myself. Your nonchalance is utterly mystifying, but perhaps someday I ' ll be able to figure you out. This note is getting longer and longer, so I ' ll stop and let you finish that Math, problem. Let me know when to expect you.

With all your polish you haven ' t got Miles a new girl yet. He dropped the last one because of her paint job, so watch your step. Yes, he learned o lot in me. I helped him all I could. I ' ve coughed and died as though I hadn ' t seen a gallon of gas for a month, even though the gauge said Ji and there was an emergency gallon beside. I nearly split a gasket one night. She said, Oh, Miles, please don ' t park here. And then Oh, Miles, please don ' t park. And then Oh, Miles, please don ' t. And So On. On the other hand I ' ve run five miles with nothing but a faint odor in my gas tank when we ' ve been off on trips to Vermont or to Stanford. We had great fun roaming back country roads that you ' ll not see till a little of your pertness is worn off. He knew I could take it and believe me he put it on. I suppose you think you ' ve seen life on your trips to get hunks of rock for his geology course. Never mind, youngster, you ' ll learn. Write me some time and tell me how you like Mount Mansfield. Of course all your weak- nesses are congenital and you can ' t help it. But that makes it all the more incredible to me that Miles should pull such a boner. After all he ' s supposed to have benefited by a four-year Engineering course. While he was under my management all went well. He stuck to the road. Since he lost his head, he ' s got some crazy notion about osteopathy instead of aviation. If he thinks he can jack peoples bones around according to rope and pulley principles he learned in College, he hasn ' t learned as much anatomy as I thought he had. Well, drop me a line v hen he trades you in or a car. I ' ll be very interested. Sincerely yours. Your Respectable Predecessor, Frankle HORATIO MILES SNYDER GREENSBORO • VERMONT Bom 1911.

Dear Sirs: I am astonished to find that one has to pay to get his name in your yearly publication. But I am truly angered to find that I must pay double to customary price because my activities take up so much more room than the ordinary man ' s. Enclosed please find the check, however you have a monopoly on this sort of thing, and n y name must be included. There are several mistakes in your listings which I desire to correct. For your convenience I will write out the activities which you have published incorrectly. The Sounders ' Club of Pittsburgh is the thing I cherish most highly, and you have omitted it altogether. To be in that club one must have several important offices, a host of minor posts, and, above all, a character above repute for the two years prior to admittance. In order to join that organization I have taken on a great many little jobs for which I am now paying double to have listed in your book. The other corrections as corrected are: Business Manager of the Pittsburgh Literary Magazine Manager of the Pittsburgh National League Football Team Secretary of the Pittsburgh Press Association (for two months or less) Manager of the Pittsburgh-Mellon Golf Team one of the founders of the Pittsburgh International Relations Club and founder of the Pittsburgh Anti-War Society. If you will pardon the intrusion, I would sug- gest that you delete from your book the name of that fabricator who wrote Mellon ' s Millions. I thank you.

History — This man is wanted for one and only one simple reason. That reason, chief, is that his classmates at Haverford College would like to see if there really is such a man. And if there Is such a person as Samuel Taylor (calling all cars) they would like to know [ust who he is. There are two conflicting reports concerning his identity, both of which are very plausible though neither have any real basis in facts. One theory is that he is the ghost of Bayard Taylor who also come from Kennet Square, Pa., and uses Sam merely as a clever alias. This theory receives support from all those who have made a study of American Literature, for to these people Bayard come very suddenly into the midstream of American Literature and then as quickly disappeared. The other theory is that he never came to College at all, but Mr. Chase thinks he did and still has his mail sent to No. 35 Lloyd Hail, and has a seat reserved for him at every meal. FACTS: re. — Samuel Taylor (A) Subject likes blonde women as well as he likes anything. (B) Intends to go to a medical school when he evaporates from Haverford.

Government Major. To The Editor of the Nation: All these dirty old capitalists give ' me a pain in the place where pains are really trenchant. There they are in their beautiful homes (those Mellons in Pittsburgh are the worst) while we are forced to live in one or two rooms. There they are in their magnificent cars equipped with luxurious radios, while we poor unfortunates must walk. Are they blind that they see not our poverty, our want and our misery? Are they deaf that they hear not our heart-rending grumblings, our soul-twisted prayers to unheedful Gods, the whimperings of our hungry children? I have slaved for three years (maybe it ' s four, if so, it is worse yet) and what do I get — nothing but God-forsaken managership of soccer. Can we not arouse the masses, compel them to do something about their down-trodden condition? Must we remain dumb and humble as the beasts in the field, must we, I ask you? Think of those people working in glassware factories my heart goes out to them especially. And their bosses, what do they do, but go out and play the stock markets! This whole civilization is about to crumble war is inevitable laissez-faire economics are running rampant as is sex and other sins — Socialism, Communism and Marxism will help this deplorable state of affairs, because they will do away with rugged individualism. I may be sort of rambling in this letter, but the strong force of righteous indignation is coursing through my blood. What I want for this country is dames and beer for everyone a car with a radio for everyone and a girl like my Anne for everyone — Heil Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky and Norman Thomas — the heroes of today.

Dear Sirs: We address you in the plural, sirs, because surely no one man could give so many different promises. To be frank, we need that little sum advanced to you to buy a car. You said when the time comes, Wagner will take care of it. Well, well, well, the time has come, and come again, and also fugited, and still what do we get — nothing but smiles, and pleasant (?) slaps on the back. And about our secretary (nice blonde, swell dancer, and all that, we admit) we really pay her to work here and for us. We have added $49.52 for the time she gave to you instead of her work after all, Mr. Wagner, someone has to get money for it, and since you did not give her any, you might as well pay her employers. We try to be fair and square, but we are not running a taxi dance hall. Your last letter (which came to us something like three months agO ore you actually still living?) mentioned the possibility of accepting something instead of money for the debt. Nothing doing! We don ' t want the car you bought (even if it were still intact) nor do we want our suits cleaned and pressed nor do our wives wont dates with a former Brown gridiron star nor do we want to buy your loose-haired wolf-hound (he ' s been here for three weeks board free now, end we are getting a little tired of it — but we ' ll write another letter about that or else sic Macintosh on you.) We have written to your father, but he says he can ' t bother with your troubles what with Tammany getting overthrown, and everybody turning vegetarians and all.

Edwin While ap- peared, walking into a fortune teller ' s tent. She spoke to him, promising to tell him of his past so that he might believe her forecast of the future. Look at me and I shall read in your eyes what your profession is. At this point a slide rule tumbled self-consciously from his pocket. Ah, my spirit tells me you are an engineer and if you are an engineer, you are an interested and hard working member of the Engineering Club. Unable to control itself any longer, a large smooth egg with eyes and nose and a heavy beard waved an emphatic affirmation of this tact from the back of a long store counter on which electric Imotors were humm ng, The Old Spinning Wheel. ' Look at me again and I shall tell you what musical instrument you play. Strange to say Edwin snatched a violin bow from beneath his coat and began to pick his teeth with it. Ah, you ore a violinist, but not a good one. Look at me again and I will tell you what you long to do. But seeing the mast of a sailboat slicking from his pocket, she went right on talking. Ah, you long to go to sea and sail a boat. You are a sailor and a dreamer at heart. Beware the Jabberwockey of Math and Science. Look at me and I will tell you what you did last summer. At this point a T-square and a large pair of dividers began to caper wildly around the floor and finally quieted down beside the slide rule which edged nervously away from them, managing at lost to hide under a book of multipli- cation tables. Ah, I see you were a draughts- man. Look at me and I will tell you what girls you took to what dances. Strangest of all there was no movement of anything. Even the slide rule stopped squeaking. Ah, I see you ore afraid of the ladies. Do not be so. Never write anything to them and you will be absolutely safe. EDWIN CHANDLEE WHITE 185 WARRENTON AVENUE HARTFORD, CONN. Born 1913.

Eastman Coordinator oF Railroads 18th and Pennsylvania Avenues Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: In response to your request for my opinions on railroad coordination and possible further improve- ments in train service I enclose some suggestions which I consider very worth while. It is with great pleasure that I realize favorable reports have reached you concerning my speech on railroad stabilization in the Doll ' s Ec 9 course. Here are my suggestions: (1) Practically free train fare from Brooklyn, N. Y. to Troy, N. Y., and faster service between those two cities, because when I want to get to Troy I generally want to get there in a hurry. (2) Same as No. 1, only with Sandy Springs, Md., substituted for Troy. (3) Drop the Prince Plan. My sentiments on the Boston financiers ' proposal are summed up by saying that you can spell his name two ways. (4) Continuous movie shows on oil through trains, the more the better. I see as many as five a week, but please, no ballet dances! (5) Some sort of athletic event on each short run I have swell plans for railroad cor palestras, stadiums and swimming pools. (6) Burlesque shows — not too arty — on some through trains. This is, of course, a very radical suggestion. (7) A Magazine Library on ever train, includ- ing all the smutty pulps, and the wild west pulps, also Red Book and Colliers. There should also be easy chairs, the kind where your rump almost touches the floor and your knees hit your chin. (8) Of course there should be radios and cross word puzile books at every seat, numerous bars, plenty of free Chesterfields, a golf course, plenty of French novels, and innumerable Sunday magazine novels. These suggestions are purely personal and are the outgrowth of much intensive perusal of dry time-tables and out-of-the-way statistics of any kind — and some experience in the first two sug- gestions at least. Sincerely thine (I am a Quake) John C. Wilson page ninety-four Here we Find an imaginary letter by Bernard Shaw to his beloved Ellen Terry Dearest, darling Ellen: What a week! nay, a fortnight! Just after my last letter was posted, when I was on the point of foiling asleep, I suddenly recollected that your eyes were not strong and that I had been inflicting a ream of liny crabbed writing on you. Forgive me: man is by nature inconsiderate. I hove read carefully through that copy, but, worse luck, I must either write hurriedly or miss the post, as some people have arrived here and I have to spend a lot of time in mending punctures in female bicycle tyres. Therefore, brief and blunt 1 must be. After all your mentioning and praising I was naturally on the lookout for that fellow Winne the other night when I was at the party after Doll ' s House. He has probably changed a lot since you last saw him. I introduced myself and we were on very friendly terms before the evening was on the start. I chided him as best I could about keeping all his expenses in a budget as, darling Ellen, you wrote. However, he has changed in that respect for he swore up and down that he gave up the silly habit after he had been in college some time. No: I ' ve no courage; I always am and always have been as timid as a church- mouse and accordingly, 1 did not seek to find the answer to your question as to why he spends so much time in the Physics courses, when he is so much better in other things. 1 gathered from his freely-flowing discourse that he plans to enter Medical School someday. Is that right? He was right smartly interested in your acting and so forth and, of course, 1 painted you in the purple. I notice he wears a slave bracelet. A friend tells me it is a token from one of the fair sex (poor boy!) and from which he never parts himself. Ellen, you never told me he is such a romanticist. Plainly and bluntly, darling, college has changed him from the sweet boy he was when he first entered (as you tell me) to a sophisticate. And, darling, did you ever hear him swear? From your letters I understood he never did such! Anyway, we took the tram home together and I was pleased to meet one of your friends.

Shelley: It is with the deepest sense of tragedy that I realize that I have been born one hundred and ten years too late. In this world of cold, hard, facts, great idealists of ou r calibre cannot find suitable environments in which to express our innate potentialities to the highest. Even at Haverford, where esthetes are looked upon with tolerance and compassion, I have never been fully appreciated. I have cultivated a vague and ethereal attitude of mind, rather maddening, I understand, to more practical souls, such as professors who like papers to be handed In on time, or approximately so. This chronic lateness is due in part to the largeness of my ideals. A man ' s reach should exceed his grasp Or what ' s a heaven for? So I have gone through college, taking six, seven, eight courses, honors work, and never doing justice to more than three of them. In fact, one course proved so interesting that I didn ' t bother to take the mid-year exam, so that I could study over the summer and take the course again. Yes, I agree with you, that ' s idealism. Instead of a Venetian gondola, I find a Packard touring car quite as efficacious in achieving romantic effects, affections, and affectations. Another one of my poses is that of a cricketer. ( Cricketeers have hairy ears — some rhyme, eh boss?) as a matter of fact — most abhorrent as facts are — I really took to cricket like a duck to water. Now my only concern is not to get ducks or dunk in my tea. Having a brilliant mind, I have yet to reach the depths of writing such poetry as Roos ' s and Hoover ' s. However, I am beginning to realize that only through the medium of verse is it possible to give real expression to all within me. Had we been born at the same time, we might have changed the world — separated by a century, the forces of idealism are dissipated and nullified. The lime is out of joint, O cursed spite That ever I was born to set it right Nay, come, let ' s go together. Just Ham .. ' ' V? ' ' !; ! t- j -y . ' . ' . t ;!, ' !;,. ' . page ninety-six Mr. Elmer J. Babbitt Pres. Rotary International New York City, N. Y. Dear Mr. Babbitt: If the Rotarians have been hard hit by the depression, and have lost many boosters because of serious disillusionments, we offer you a man that will take the place of thousands of them. In fact, you wouldn ' t need a single other booster, if you hired this one — Willard M. Wright, Jr., strict believer in Sportsmanship, Cleanliness, Order- liness, Capitalism, and The Purity-Of-Most- Modern-Girls. Jusf those few qualifications are enough to make him a thirty-third degree Rotarian upon application, are they not? AH, but besides those the boy is really clever. Willard knows innumerable cord tricks which will come in handy when your meetings get dull. And he can always laugh, ith an extraordinarily enthusiastic guffaw at any of the attempted witticisms you speakers pull off. One trouble that we find with him is that he may laugh when there is absolutely nothing at all to laugh at, like sometime when someone is speaking on the holiness of the after-life, or something else really serious like. We are gen- erally pretty fortunate in staving off such momentary outbursts by telling him that he is not setting a good example and he is such a motherly soul and hales so to lead others into sin and wickedness that he often stops laughing immediately. One of his greatest attributes is his geniality and ability to bulldoze people into believing he really is somebody, and not just good ole ' Bill. The two things which make this possible are h is genial smile (it literally goes from one ear to the other) and his graceful dancing, hlis favorite foreign country is Russia, about which he knows three words in Russian and a lot of things young lovers did under the Czars. Please give him a job, or else he will be driving trucks filled with dry ice or selling neckties 1 am afraid of such a thing because it would hurt the fair name of our college. Sincerely, H.

To be sure the occasion was only a matter of snowballing and the culprit was just another one of the boys who traipse around Lloyd. But then look at John Wilkes and think how much trouble he started. Maybe we ought to be thankful. Anyway our friends of the moral backbone may cut a notch in their gun handle,- they won. They ' re in dead earnest from now on, so be careful. NEWS The college newspaper, containing all the old news, some of the new news, sportslight, and sidelights on campus activities, continues to be the big activity machine of Haverford. it had its twenty-fifth birthday this yeor, but the age of twenty-five is purely chronological; the age of Its members is considerably less.

The sails flapped a little when at mid-ocean a change of pilots took place, and there were not enough old salts to put over another chapbook. But issues have appeared regularly, and in spite of the usual mud-slinging from the News, the boys have served their Muse as honestly as they could. PRESS BUREAU All the news from our campus that might provoke interest elsewhere reached the outside world through the h-iaverford Press Bureau. From the exchange material printed in the College World we suspect that most of this college news consists of quips and cracks and wanton wiles. However, this organization, revamped and renamed this year, is one of the few campus activities with monetary recompense.

Rohrer MUSICAL CLUBS The Instrumental Club, which was getting to be a myth, suddenly popped into existence again this year. Hunt Jones, the wand wielder, sweated and agonized to get his young band cf musicians to keep practicing and managed to get them to do their stuff at four of the concerts, including the brilliant hHorne Concert. Brilliant it was, and made the Glee Club have reason to feel proud, especially after the difficulties they encountered this year. One of these diffi- culties was the dearth of tenors (so masculine this college seems to be) and another was the cruel accident suffered by Gene Hogenauer, which necessitated Bob Almore ' s stepping into the breach as leader for a few weeks. Atmore ' s solo hits and other special features mode it an excellent season, and a hard one for next year ' s boys to beat.

But most of us must say, with tears in our eyes, Farewell, thou art too dear for my possessing! Liberty and justice for all! Here is an array of students seriously attached to the idealistic principles of better human understanding.

FIELD CLUB The Field Club mokes interesting studies in bird- lore and general out-door life. Several trips over country trails and roads ore made during pleasant weather. The Club makes special effort to arrange for the actual feeding of migrating birds in the appropriate seasons. Vive Audubon! FIELD CLUB FRONT ROW Dulaney Dunn Cadbury Evans Marsliall BACK ROW Robert!

Perhaps after a while, like some of the more practical clubs, this Club will arrange for regular outside speakers. Outsiders they will have to be, for the present members don ' t relish preparing informal lectures any more than they like to write theses for English courses. li ' llli ■ uji iir FRONT ROW— Efllerton, Spatlh, Tru«x, Hollander, Dunn SECOND ROW—Sloddord, Brown, Blanc-Roos, Jonsi THIRD ROW— Bowd n, Robwti, Criffilh EVANGELICAL LEAGUE Art Singer and Win Smith cheerfully direct a gathering of students interested in religious ethics. Christian men from prominent sects are frequent visitors to meetings where they arbitrate many discussions and aid in Bible study. The only hitch IS that the two Knights of Firecracker Abbey (apologies to Dove Wilson, ' 33) are torn between the desire for destruction and their religious com- pulsions. But God willing, religion will win.

However, the true success of the season con best be estimated in terms of the foundations laid for larger returns in the wins column next year. Aside from Captain Dick Pleasants, bock- field star, only three members of lost season ' s squad will be absent, when the first practice session is called this Fall. These are Dick Gibbs and Bruce Smith, both of whom were letter winners, and Bill Wright, who received a numeral award. THE SEASON ' S RECORD Haverford . Haverford . Haverford 7 . Haverford 7 .

However, with the newly-installed system finally showing results, and Captain Lou Flaccus, the team ' s only Senior, leading the scoring parade, Haverford stamped the season a distinct success by drubbing the visiting courtmen 31-25.

With a squad composed entirely of underclassmen, next year ' s team, which will again be led by Captain Blanc-Roos, should succeed in compiling a more successful record. FENCING Also assuming the role of a newcomer to Haverford athletics, the fencing squad, under the tutelage of hienri Gordon, gained Four victories in nine starts. Oliver Egleslon was the only Senior member of the squad to be lost by graduation.

Captain Bodine and Scattergood, the team ' s only Seniors, were its outstanding performers, the former gaining one first place, two seconds, and a third in the five meets. SOUASH A new addition to Haverford athletics, the squash team, in its first season tared poorly. Meeting a group of nearby Prep schools, the local racquel- eers gained only a, single vic- tory in eight starts. However, with the exception of Floccus, Hogenauer and McKee, who played in a few matches, the entire squad will return next year and should compile a more enviable record for 1935.
