NO LON seR THE PROPERTY OF HAVERFORD COLLEGE The last year of the Class of 1958 saw several im- portant events on campus and occasional outbursts of student feeling. Above all, it was the first year of a nev.- administration — which quickly found itself an unwilling party to controversies about the ideals of the college. The controversies and spectacular events were set against a background of the ordinary, but by no means commonplace, daily life of Haver- ford. The background continues, and the ideals may continue, long after the events have passed away. What meaning does the whole picture have? Is tradition incompatible with progress ? The vari- ous editors have looked at the past year from several points of view, rather than from the normal single viewpoint. In the following pages, we have tried to integrate the noteworthy with the usual, recording what we saw as the significance of the personality of the college in our last year. tilt } : ' .; ' % THE 1958 RECORD Published by The Senior Class of HAVERFORD COLLEGE Haverford, Pennsylvania EDITORIAL BOARD Burton Friedman David J. Gibson Allan Gold Carl N. Kunz Harold P. Kurzman David Lenfest Thomas Medsger Hermann K. Piatt Jan Riegl Stephen Sarnoff Roger D. WoUstadt T i: DEDICATION LEVI ARNOLD POST When Arnold Post Tl attended Haverford, he was, among other things, a four-year corporation scholar, student president, associate editor of the Haverfordian, and football letterman. This year, on the eve of his retirement, he has amazed students and faculty alike with an enormous fund of knowledge on practically very subject imaginable, a living, transmissible sympathy with ancient Greece, and the physical vigour to play tennis. He is a living symbol of past generations of universal scholars and men, and a living sermon on the capabilities of men who can throw their energies and their hearts into life. He is an inspiration to those of us who believe that the soul of man is not dead, and a lesson to those of us who tend to believe that it is. Fov IN MEMORIAM ALFRED W. (POP) HADDLETON When Haverford lost Pop, it lost a great deal more than a track and cross- country coach. Pop looked on every student at Haverford as one of his hoys, re- gardless of track team membership. It was a common sight to see him standing in front of the dining room chatting with students on their way in to eat, and his constant good humor and voluminous fund of stories concerning Haverford athletics put the listener into a better frame of mind to face the lunch-time offerings. At the same time, Pop turned out consistently good track teams. More im- portant than their won and lost records was the special spirit that he injected, a spirit that called for giving all that one had to the best of his ability. F:i TO THE CLASS OF 1958 HAIL AND FAREWELL While the difference between college life and what- ever is before you will vary with each of you, everyone will have an opportunity to apply his own personal philosophy to what is ahead. Except for your months in the armed services, you will all have a new freedom of choice in further study in a professional or graduate school, or in your choice of work. Some of you have maintained that this last year has been too full of too many courses and assignments and that you have not had adequate opportunity to study your major. Henceforth, you may be specializing or concentrating on a single activity and can slow down to whatever pace you wish. On the other hand, some of you who claim that Havcrford has not demanded enough of you will soon discover in graduate school that you can work as long and as hard as your mind and body can stand it and that your fellow students will take their work as seriously as you do. Others of you cherish your right to dissent and to doubt. In a time when our fundamental values and beliefs face the demands posed by the horrendous struggle of the Cold War, it is up to you to make us discard t he irrelevant and secure the Truth. To those of you who are idealists who refuse to conform and insist that life is noble and worth whatever sacrifice IS required, the challenge cannot be too great. It is my hope, it is my belief, that Haverford has instilled in you a flexibility of mind, a method of approaching difficult problems, and a comprehension of the values of life which has prepared you to make those decisions which the times demand of you. May you soon prove to others, as well as to yourselves, that the future could not be in better hands! a. HUGH BORTON President Six ADMINISTRATION It iiny livini; niiin deserves the title of Mr. Haver- ford, this honor eert.iinly belongs to Arehih.ild Mac- Intosh 21. Mac has served as director of admissions for a quarter of a century, as acting president on three separate occasions, and has also directed the College Entrance Examination Board. Spanning the adminis- trations of CJilbert White and Hugh Borton. Mac has been for the Class of 195S the President of Havertord longer than any other man. Hugh Borton ' s first official act as president was to award Archibald Macintosh an honorary degree, and the Board of Managers has granted him a well-deserved leave of absence for the latter part of I ' iS. In fulfilling the role of dean, William E. Cadbury 3 1 IS faced with the daily problem of trying to find workable solutions to students problems. Those who are flunking, or have course conflicts, or desire to shift their maior, or have over-cut, or Vi-ish a recommenda- tion to medical school, or ]ust need someone to whom to tell their troubles eventually fill the waiting room in Roberts Hall downstairs left, where the man with the gray crev ' cut, nervous smile, and ever-present pipe gives each individual attention and advice. The dean also teaches chemistry, and is an e.xpert in the field of pre-medical education. This last semester he has been granted leave to do research in the latter field, and John Lester .i7 is attempting to fill his vacant office. The appointment late in 1957 of Walter C. Baker of the Class of 1932 as full-time vice president for de- velopment on the campus underscores the importance which Haverford continues to attach to careful planning for Its future progress and to the continuation and expansion ot the support it receives from its friends. No one is able yet to evaluate either Mr. Baker or his achievements, but one can be fairly certain that his accomplishments, both long-term and short-term, will indeed benefit the college. Vying with Haverford s mcomp.irable dietician for the title of most scapegoated person on campus. Aldo Caselli s unpopularity stems chiefly from the fact Seven ALDO CASELLI EDYTHA M. CARR !â–º that he is the collector of fines and the watchdog of college property. His most famous victory involved the collection of money for hidden-a damages-a resulting from a Barclay waterfight. He exhibits definite Italian preferences in hiring maintenance workers, and is also known for making unannounced inspection tours of the dorms, aided and abetted by a detective. The few students who have had close contact with him through his non-academic Italian opera course assure us that Aldo is really no gremlin, hut is actu.dly a pretty nice fellow. Mrs. Edytha Carr, our registrar, is constantly plagued with questions about curriculum schedules, requests for course changes, requisitions for various permissive cards, and orders for transcript copies. She performs her duties with patience and humor, adopting a maternal attitude to most students, even the ones who crowd her office at the four o ' clock deadline hour on the last day of registration. Like a submarine, William Ambler 4 is usually silent and unseen by the student body. Ambler becomes a key figure principally to prospective students, and his difficult task in selecting for admission approxi ' mately one applicant out of every ten proceeds effi ' ciently and without fanfare during most of the school year. Ben Cooper ' s influence is felt to an appreciable ex- tent even by undergraduates (through job oiferings, room priority numbers, the weekly Alumni section in The J lews, etc.), but it is principally after one gradu ' atesthat Bennett S. Cooper ' 18, alumni secretary, serves as the alumnus principal link with his alma mater. WILLIAM W. AMBLER BENNETT S. COOPER rr Eight STUDENTS COUNCIL The work of the Students Council has been de- scribed as drudgery, and for the most part this is true. The time-consuming job of hammering out student organizations budgets (this year s keynote — austerity), the numerous little items of business which come up constantly (e.g., Who w-ants to handle the room search this week? ), and the listening to complaints about the injustices ' of the Comptroller ' s office are routine but necessary to the functioning of student government at Haverford. Through conscientious ac- ceptance of this work and willingness to remain acutely aware of all shades of student body opinion, this year s Council achieved a significant position in student life. The Council became a closely knit body during the tense, feverish, three-day session required by the honor system trials at the beginning of the year. Faced with the responsibility of making decisions on those difficult cases, the Council members learned to work together. Later it was kept busy, if not swept otf its feet at times, by conflicting opinions over the fraternity ques- tum. Too, it had been jarred by the student attitudes toward the inauguration of the president. Due to past difficulties in student-administration re- lations, the Council and the administration agreed that the general area of discipline should he re-e.xamined by both parties. A joint student-faculty-administration committee undertook this inv ' olvcd task. President John Crawford got through the trials with- out mishap, devoted himself to the responsibilities, and generally did an admirable job, despite a cavalier dis- regard for Roberts Rules in Students Association meet- ings. The minutes of Secretary Hans Englehardt were a surprise addition to the literary ' output of the cam- pus. Treasurer Curdon Brewster notified the students of fantastic appropriations for damages. T ine FACULTY RALPH M. SARGENT JOHN A. LESTER, JR. JOHN ASHMEAD, JR. KENNETH S. WOODROOFE ENGLISH It is quite fittmt; that the chief port of call for English majors, and the English interdepartmental communication — or at least communiques — should he located in Haverford ' s Pentagon, one-sided Whitall. Just above the marble halls lined with traffic viola- tions is a more homey den, lined with books. The cus- todian frequently chagrined by the treasures unearthed from his shelves, such as Poetry, Scientifically Analyzed, is a genial, crop-headed figure, scarcely awesome enough to be a department head. Yet Ralph Sargent, benign as he appears, partakes of the building ' s spirit of authority. Specializing in the Elizabethan era, he is himself somewhat of a Renaissance figure, frankly de- lighting in Shakespeare ' s franker passages, pointing out at some length the less spiritual implications of Donne ' s use of die and rise. In a more general sense, though, the Renaissance man ' s diversity of interests and the eclectic character of his bookshelves are embodied in Mr. Sargent ' s innumerable pursuits and project courses — creative writing, current literature, and the Philadelphia try-out season. In an equally fitting fashion, the majority of the department ' s underlings are housed in the upper reaches of the Library, their offices appearing, quite literally, as extensions of the stacks. The personalities of these men are as various as the Library ' s architectural styles, diverging from the cheery pedantry of the department ' s amateur cartographer and conventionaire, poet Gerhard Friedrich, to the sten- torian Spencerian, Alfred Satterthwaite, whose fright- ening resonance and unpronounceable name are made less terrifying in the trembling freshman conferee by the jauntmess of the prof ' s glistening brush cut. Satterthwaite is a Harvard grad, and prone to remi- nisce of the wondrous stable of Harry Levin et al; but while no crimson banner hangs from his door either, the John Harvard zealot extraordinaire is Mr. S ' waite ' s (standard abbreviation) neighbor, John Ashmead. This eternal booster returned to the campus after an extended sabbatical spent in Greece and his spiritual home, the Far East. For. as all his paper writers know, Ashmead is a mystic of sizable proportions, a necessary compensation for the slightness of his grades and sta- ture (physical, of course) . His absence, on good re- port, was craftily arranged, for in the intervening span he acquired an envied legend, that of the cultivated ogre, the demon of the tutorial, the remolisher of over- sized reputations among senior majors. Some found, to our dismay, that the legend was not a total piece of fabrication, and students of his 18th century course will long remember his definitive lecture on the subtle- ties and atrocities of hokum and balderdash. Ten FRANK J. QUINN GERHARD G. FRIEDRICH EDGAR S. ROSE ALFRED W. SATTERTHWAITE The 200-keeper, proprietor of the stacks cubbyhole menagerie, is John Lester, whose office is the Library. Lester, despite his youth and hardiness became the most titled member of the staff as Librarian, coach of track and soccer, and temporary dean, during the second semester dcp.irturc of the administration ' s med school officer. He brings his athletic enthusiasm to the class, his I ' th century course taking on the qu.dities of a brisk training regimen, an invigorating skull session with the bones of Byron as subject for dissection. Tucked away in Founders, temporary residence of traveled Philips Visitors, are those perenially enthusi- astic intellectual tourists, the Cockney and the Scot, both products of the liberal Oxford punting seminars. The former. Ken Woodroofe, gained n o legendary status during his year spent at Reed, the Liberal ' s Western retreat. He returned in much the same state, rumpled and cherubic, his comfortably dishevelled ap- pearance achieving sartorial splendor among the ragged costumes of the students. Ken is seemingly the friend of every student. His informality and all-day office hours in the Coop attract all sorts of stray pets, lured on by the engaging prospect of his boisterous harangues. Many have tried to characterize him as zany, fey, or the eternal youth, and his enchanting performance in the year ' s well-remembered Waiting for Godot indi- cates that all of these appelations have considerable validity. He also teaches Dostoevski. Frank Quinn, the Scotsman, the snared bachelor and more sober of the pair, handles probably the most di- verse range of courses, from Chaucer to 20th century ' British lit. He stresses the individuality of each of the literary figures the course tackles, and if D. H. Law- rence and ' Virginia ' Woolf seem to be writing the same book, it is largely because of the strongly humanistic framework which Frank finds underneath the books seemingly disparate overtones. Quinn is the original master of the subliminal pene- tration techniques now coming into vogue among the Madis(5n Avenue set. His ability to produce the de- sired answer from the dumbfounded student is a rare feat, and one that has earned him the rightful admira- tion of a host of devoted pupils. Behind the bowl of Edgar Rose ' s pipe is one of the quieter members of the department. Despite his Lan- caster rearing, he is not exactly a Pennsylvania Dutch- man. Instead, he is an aesthetically inclined arrive from the University of Chicago who peacefully ripostes some of the fevers in freshman tutorials and raises provocative questions in the smog of Chase seminars. When he succeeds in getting away from the frosted glass of Whitall ' s hollowness, he lectures of James Gib- bons Hunecker, uses his faculty experience at Chicago for some Softball, or caters to his past as organist and music critic by sitting down at a piano. Eleven HERMAN M. SOMLRS POLITICAL SCIENCE (The scene is the s[ acious Founders Hall office of Herman M. Somers, chairman of the political science department. Boo s, papers, memos, and letters from all over the United States compete for attention on the old desks and tables scattered through the room. An- drew M. Scott enters jaimtily, overcoatless, in his usual light hrown suit and unbuttoned button-down collar. ) Scott: Good afternoon, Red. Somers: Good afternoon, Andy. How goes the Dela- ware County Democratic cluh? Scott: Fine, fine . . . I Steven Muller enters the room, clad in the latest Ivy fashions. ) Somers: Glad you could get here so soon, Steve. Just put your coat over there. Muller (placing his collegiate coat on a hoo iie.vt to Somers ' tweed overcoat): When your private secre- tary called I had just finished translating the Norwegian footnotes in the hook published yesterday, Publio Cor- porations in the World Community, by a man I studied with at Cornell. I hadn ' t yet started the revision of my list of the 600 best political science periodicals for Political Science 22 students. If you don ' t mind. I have a preliminary list here. . . . Somers: The reason this meeting was called was to plan the program for the department for the coming term. I wt)uld appreciate it if you would bring up your point, Steve, when we come to the course. We can get started as soon as Bill arrives. (William A. Reitzel ' 22 wal s in. He is wearing a darl{ brown suit with a vest, and is carrying his brief- case, unique among diplomats, initialed WAR. J Reitzel: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Andy, did you get a chance to read my article on Kennan ' s book on American diplomacy? Scott: No, I spent the afternoon expurgating Rous- seau ' s Confessions for my children and mailing my article on challenge and response off to the Journal of Politics. Somers: Be seated, gentlemen. While I was in Ten- nessee straightening out the TVA, I got an idea for an addition to my administration course. We could divide the class into line officers and staff officers and have them argue with each other for four class periods on the relation of the reading to their respective jobs. Of course I would keep close watch on the discussion and see that they stuck to the facts. We might set up a model Brandywine Creek Authority. Scott: Excellent idea. Red. Muller: I wonder how well that would go. At Ox- ford something like that was suggested, but before I go into this, let me say . . . ( c.) Reitzel fin his best Oxonian accent): Red, I think it IS necessary that we recognize the distinctions be- tw-een line officer, staff officer, administrator, and ex- ecutive. Scott: That ' s a good point. Here, I ' ll show you. . . . WILLIAM A. REITZEL Tu ' eli ANDREW M. SCOTT STEVEN MULLER H. FIELD HAVILAND, JR. ( ' stands up and waiJ{s toward the wall, flexing Jus left arm. Then reahzes that there is no blackboard in the room and paces bacl{ while speaking.) This all reminds me of an exercisi: I was on while in the navy. . . . Somers: I think we have to be more rigorous than that, Andy. I Lights his pipe.) By the way, when I was in England studying their workmen ' s compensa- tion, I found something that might he of use to the economics. . . . But to get back to the topic, how can we strengthen student participation in classes? After all, it is they that form the real learning process. Scott: Sure. Discussion is important, but it is also necessary to fill the students in on the material that is not in the textbook. Reitzel: As I understand it, the lectures and readings, particularly in Political Science 22, give an incomplete and unbalanced picture of the actual realities of the situation. This should be remedied by some judicious interposition of factual knowledge. Don ' t you think that is a fair statement of your position, Andy? ( Ex- tinguishes one cigarette and lights another as Scott nods. I Midler: Yes. and I think that the students should be required to come up to the real standards that the col ' lege has advertised. The preparation and work of the students here is, on the whole, abominable. But if we are to adopt this suggestion, I think it should be along the lines of the tutorial system at Oxford. I Opens his pac of Players cigarettes. ) Scott: I was talking with some of my students after class about that yesterday, and they said that this did not lead to a balanced education, i Blows smo}{e away from his face. I Somers: Getting back to the main point of the meeting. . . . Midler: Just a minute. Red. but I think it would be an excellent idea if there were a stiffer language re- quirement for political science majors. I think it is an atrocious commentar ' on the state of American educa- tion that college seniors are unable to read — say — de Jouvenel ' s introduction to Rousseau in the original. Somers: Yes, Steve, I agree, but I was going to sug- gest first that students should be brought to the point where they can carr ' on reasonable, factual class dis- cussions in English. Reitzel: Certainly, Red, but more attention should be paid to orienting the students in the field of inter- national relations. A while ago I heard a foreign service officer comment on this point. Somers: The fundamental problem of the political science department. . . . Reitzel: If you don ' t mind. Red, 1 have to leave now to catch a train for Washington. I have an early ap- pointment at the Brookings Institution. Scott: Hm-m. 1 just remembered that I promised to take care of my four kids before working tonight on my new text in American political theory. Mailer: I have to take care of a couple more books tonight. Scott: O-o-kay, let ' s call it a day. All exeunt ex- cept Somers.) Somers: I wonder who ' ll be at the next meeting. Thirteen RUSSELL R. WILLIAMS, JR. WILLIAM E. CADBURY, JR. ROBERT I. WALTER CHEMISTRY Haverford ' s chemistry department is unique in many ways. For one, it has its own private building — a struc- ture with high stone walls, creaky stairs, underground chambers, and bars on the windows. The Chemistry Building houses the largest and steepest lecture hall on campus, a room where clanging radiators have dis- tracted many lecturers (and even dozing students) . In addition, the Chem Building possesses its own nauseat- ing smells, created by black-aproned inhabitants en- during 1-o-n-g laboratory periods, the first of which for every course is always spent washing apparatus and bending glass. Certainly the chief distinction of any department, however, is derived from the men that teach in it. These four years have been a period of significant change for all. Since the fall of 19 ' 4, there has been an almost complete change of personnel m the chem- istry department, due to the death of William Mcldrum ( the grand old man of the Chem. Department ) and turnover of most other members. It is strongly felt by students of the department that the new faculty has soundly reassessed the needs and curriculum — securing a solid foundation for present and future development. Probably the most obvious evidence of this is that the atmosphere of the depart- ment is now less dictated by desires of the non-major pre-medical students. By way of introduction for some, and for the Record, the following are members of the department. Dean William ( The Cad ) Cadbury, the single man who has remained from the past faculty, teaches physical chemistry. His research interest involves phase rela- tionships. Students of the course remember numerous derivations of formulas and appreciate the extremely well-organized laboratory work. The Dean, of course, IS familiar in a tweedy suit, raincoat and hat — with pipe. Russell Williams, the chairman of the department, is a quiet, bespectacled gentleman whose trademark is a large briefcase. He left teaching at Notre Dame in 19 6. He specializes m nuclear physical chemistry and will carry on research with aid from a grant given by the Atomic Energy Commission. Williams teaches both elementary chemistry and advanced physical chemistry. The department is making good, strong progress under his direction. Harmon Dunathan, the most recent arrival, is fa- mous for an hour e.xam that actually took five hours. Fourteen He is an organic chemist concerned with structural problems. This year he taught the second semester of general organic and the first semester of the advanced course. Chemistry (i} . Word has it that ' Yi.V was a character builder. Colin MacKay is a bright young nuclear chemist who is very congenial and helpful to interested students. Like Bob Walters, he burns the midnight oil. MacKay often spends v .x ' ekends doing research at Yale. This year he taught the second semester of physical chemis- try while Dean Cadbury was on leave. Robert ( R.I. ) Walter is already a legend. He teaches one of the most notoriously difficult courses on campus — general organic. No student can forget this one. Those who last through it, come out knowing and retaining a lot, their mark, no matter how high, being a real purple heart. Students like Walter ' s friendli- ness and are often awed by his tireless and productive devotion to teaching both in and out of the class room. Walter ' s research interest concerns many problems — prominent among these is free radical chemistry. This interest ignited the Defense Department Controversy of 1957. The remaining spark of the teaching team during the last semester was Frederick ( 79 ) Brutcher, alias: Beware, visiting lecturer from the University of Pennsylvania. His intormation p.icked lectures, sprin- kled with generally good anecdotes (in the best Haav- ard accent), provided advanced organic students with an almost palatable dose of reactions and reaction mechanisms. Brucher ' s research interest concerns syn- thesis of natural jiroducts and reaction mechanisms. It may strike some that having a strong and active chemistry department on an admittedly liberal arts campus is a bit incongruous. Yet, following out the uniqueness theme, the department is strong because of its faculty .md students, and also because of its prox- imity to the humanities. Thus, it is possible that through the interaction and complementation of quality training in both areas, those who leave here will have the concerned initiative and sound direction so vita! to meaningful progress for mankind. COLIN F. MacKAY HARMON C. DUNATHAN Fifteen J â–  . i e I I DOUGLAS H. HEATH GEORGE V. COELHO CHARLES E. MAYER PSYCHOLOGY Animal Lahoraiory : an unobtrusive sign on the fourth floor of Sharpless hides a dozen sad-eyed white rats peeking from behind empty water bottles, sharing their meager quarters with some imperious looking rabbits marked ' Property of the Biology Department. This seene is perhaps typieal of the plaee psyehology occupies among its sister bioU)gieal sciences even at enlightened Haverford : a kind of Cinderella scorned by the rest of the family and shuttled between the social and the natural sciences in true fairy tale fashion. But like Cinderella, psychology at Haverford has a certain pioneering spirit introduced by its dynamic head, Douglas Heath, whose unlimited faith in the ability of students to do advanced work — if given the opportunity — has made the department ideal for any- one interested in mastering the fundamentals of re- search. The center of his educational philosophy is in- deed the student, who, when given encouragement, can take his place early in the community of seekers of scientific truth. At the same time Heath has remained interested in the personal development of his students, and thus has succeeded in giving the department an air of scientific excitement as well as understanding of the personal needs of the scientists. Since psychology may be said to represent a fusion of the biological and social views of man, George Coelho leans more heavily toward the social interpretation. Accordingly, his contribution has been to present a thoughtful, rigorous approach to the less well defined problems of personality and social psychology, which with him become scientifically manageable while re- taining the flavor of their complexity. His sensitive grasp of significant literature has been mentioned by Gordon Allport, a noted psychological theorist — who has said of him, He can distinguish a significant book better than anyone else I know. Yet in spite of his serious grasp of the psychological meat, Coelho at home, in the midst of French House din, is one of the most friendly and informal members of the Haverford community, as are his wife Rani and three bright, lovable children. Representing the other psychological camp, the rigorous positivist Charles E. Mayer has already estab- lished himself in Haverford society as the somewhat caustic introductory psychology professor with a lean- ing toward impossible objective exams, intense interest in animals of all kinds — including human ones — and a predisposition for viewing the world as the central nervous system extended. If he were not a universal tinkerer as well, even the meager beginnings of an instrumented lab would still be in the blueprint stage. Thus he may be seen scurrying about extolling the rat and the implanted electrode, all the while reclaiming psychology as a true science. While still the Cinderella of the campus, psychology at Haverford is growing, and more than other departments can say confidently, Wait till next year! Sixteen W.r ARIEL G. LOEWY MELVIN SANTER IRVING FINGER ROBERT L. CONNER BIOLOGY Second floor Sharpless, principal home of the biology department, has undergone a major face-lifting in the last few years, the lift being supplied by our new, aggressive bio profs. The principal change has been an academic shift from classical biology (botany, zool- ogy, vertebrate morphology, etc.) to the modern fron- tiers of biology (bio-chemistry, cellular physiology, genetics, etc.). Through grants of money from several foundations, the academic shift has resulted in a labor- atory ' shift from dissection kits and microscopes to Warburg respirometers, walk-in freezers, sterilizing tanks, and spectrophotometers. The initiation of the Senior Research Tutorial has given bio majors excellent experience in original research. A major part of the credit for the modernization of subject material and laboratory equipment goes to Ariel Loewy, the big bird of the biology department. Loewy has shed much blood for Haverford, especially in 195 7, when he did research on the disulfide bond in blood. Once, students really wanted to see blood flow when he told one class that he had lost their exams on the train. Often seen dashing around campus on an English bicycle with a rumble-seat, Loewy has plenty of time to converse with his majors on subjects ranging from politics to art. It has been rumored that when he obtains sabbatic leave he will spend most of the time cleaning up his hopelessly disorganized office desk. Melvin Santer is a microbiologist who grows bugs (bacteria) by the bottlcful. His 1957-58 research grant ( magnificent, just magnificent ) involved thiobacilli, and for the research Santer preferred mud imported from New Haven ( it ' s got good ' bugs ' . ) Almost daily he can be seen in his white lab smock, slapping and rubbing his hands together and vowing to his senior majors: All right, boys, today we gotta clean up the lab. Besides capably teaching complex biochemistry ' , Mel Santer leads his students to be aware and critical of the non-science world, especially the A.M. A. Perhaps the toughest teacher in the department, he maintains high standards by driving his students hard. The third member of the department that had such an excellent Philips Lecture Series for 1957-58 is Irving Finger, who ended 1957 by winning a research grant in his special field, genetics. An alumnus of Swarthmore College, Finger lost a Coca-cola bet to his genetics class that the Garnet would beat the Fords in their latest football clash. He often produces a big stink in Sharpless when he boils lettuce for his Paramecium. The zoology assignments are held down by Robert Conner. Each second semester slim, suave, smiling Conner drives over from Bryn Mawr to spend morn- ings lecturing on the weird, multicolored, anatomical cross-sections which cover his blackboards, and after- noons requiring his students to do lab dissections ( I think the instructions are fairly simple. ) He is in- trigued with the problem of whether protozoans are smarter than men. Seventeen PHILOSOPHY DOUGLAS VAN STEERE MARTIN FOSS We can see the three heads of Haverford ' s philosophy department groping through the forest. The hght is so dim that not even the forms of the objects are visible to the searchers, but they do manage a random walk. In their search, sometimes one finds another going the same way for a short distance, but neither knows where he is, so this is not much help. Several times one or another has even stumbled into the agora, but none has ever seen it. Henry Veatch stayed in our section of the wood only for the first semester. He strolled briskly as if it were a bright summer day, slashing right and left with a rubber sword labeled Intentionality. It was very amusing to watch the sword bouncing harmlessly from the trees, while Its user never noticed. Intentional Veatch was particularly renowned for his lecture seminar on St. Thomas, a logical man. The rubber sword was welcome as a change and it succeeded in making a few dents, but It is fortunate that these dents faded so quickly. Douglas Steere drives into the woods in his Volkswagen, mystically missing the trees. After having run in tight circles around some of the more visible ones, he managed to erect a sign on top of the jalopy advertising a patent panacea, Reverence for Life. Unfortunately, the sign was engulfed by smoke and moonbeams, and no bottles were sold. In public, he is the well-known largest smile on campus, prized for its pure genuineness. His Volkswagen is likely to circle trees for some time, lecturing, and the sign will grow still mistier, but the smile shows clearly through the darkness. Frank Parker resembles a bloodhound in the woods. He has no strong direction of his own, but keeps his nose glued to the realistic ground, following the trail and passing judgment over every tree he FRANCIS H. PARKER HENRY J. CADBURY Eighteen passes. In his noble endeavor, man ' s best friend be- eomes the selfless advisor of budding philosophers. He performs the necessary function of leadint; the swarms behind him to the main trees, introducnii, ' them to all so they may better plant their own. Critical realism plays a necessary role, but it seems a shame that it has become une.xpressivc of itself. The opposite trend occurs in Martin Foss, a cultured owl flitting from bough to hough in the tree-tops uttering Germanic compound words. He is the most sincere and spirited in his philosophy at Havcrford, but also the most fixed in his ways. The one-sentence lectures given in one breath from notes written on well-used wrapping paper will be missed badly next year. We only hope that he can be replaced with a man as sincere in his view-s. But we must all follov. ' through wisdom to Nirvana, for such are the terms of the world. JOHN W. FLIGHT BIBLICAL LITERATURE A precisely clipped mustache and trimmed white hair are of a piece with John W. Flight ' s snappy walk, careful but unobtrusive dress and a quiet passion for Biblical schc larship. Flight ' s scholarly activities have not decreased during his close of a thirty-year stay at Haverford. He is a good friend of the ancient tongues, and keeps up his acquaintance with modern languages by reading from the French and German Bibles daily. He has done much literal as well as abstract digging from which his devotion to the Archaelogical Collection on Sharpless ' top floor has sprung. The studies, activities, and ideas of his students are of a lively concern to Flight. As he lectures from behind an ebony-topped Sharpless desk and particularly in discussions and conversations. Flight ' s wry grin and suppressed chuckle punctuate his interest in his students. RICHARD M. BERNHEIMER HISTORY OF ART In a society as fast-moving and as pragmatic as our ow ' ii, a man like Richard Max Bernheimer can exert a w-elcome and beneficent influence. This chubby, jovial man teaches history of art, not simply as so many old pictures and decaying buildings, but as an ever- continuing human struggle for beauty, truth, freedom of expression, and other spiritual values. Bernheimer attempts to invoke in his students a certain depth of feeling, and simultaneously he exposes them to a depth of knowl- edge that is truly amaring. He lectures coherently and continuously without ever referring to any notes, and he seems to know- the con- tents of every museum in the world. Bcrnheimcr ' s Cjerman accent, tapped shoes, and black slide case make him an individual personality, both here and on his home grounds of Brsm Mav.T. T ineteen THOMAS E. DRAKE WALLACE T. MacCAFFREY ANNE B. F. SCOTT HISTORY The rationale behind the study of history may be hkened to the tunetion tif an automobiles rear-view mirror — that is, the notion that by looking baek one can guide one ' s future actions more properly. At Haverford, the history department should reflect the humane attitudes which the typical small liberal arts college emphasizes. Presently, its small shifting com- position seems to be the unique mark of this depart- ment, but the powers that be are already plotting a historical strengthening and stabilization. Wallace Trevethic MacCaffrey is every bit as im- pressive and inspiring a professor as his name suggests. His basic course in ancient history has attained, by vir- tue of massive reading assignments and impossible ex- aminations, the fearsome reputation of ranking in diffi- culty with organic chemistry (an indirect way to achieve unity between the physical and behavioral sciences). Possessor of the most disjointed gait on campus, MacCafF frequently encounters organizational difficulties in finding the correct map and has manipu- latory problems in operating a mechanical pencil or Venetian blinds. Though he occasionally seems to be the fictional absent-minded professor ( May I have a pencil, please? ), it is when the discussion begins ( What did you get out of this week ' s readings? ) that true know-ledge and scholarship prevail. While constantly revealing his own overwhelming scholarship — seeming knowledge of everything there is to know about British history. MacCaff alternates in class be- tween relating humorous anecdotes and squelching in- correct or overgeneralized answers. He makes his essen- tial points by requiring students to become more and more explicit ( Well, what exactly do you mean by institutions? ) . An astute cross-examiner, he generally finds few if any volunteers to his questions, but he al- ways manages to allow the class to enlighten itself ( Is everything crystal clear? ) Those wdth a sincere in- terest in histor ' revere him as a god. Anne Scott, sincere and energetic, forms with her spouse Andy the only husband-and-wife teaching team at Haverford. She has the habit of occasionally plug- ging one of his courses ( You may have heard about this in Political Science 57 ) and of overemphasizing the feminist movement. She has a true respect for scholarship, encourages intellectual curiosity, and espe- cially stresses source materials. Thomas Drake, head of the department, is on leave this year. Drake is a self-appointed country gentleman whose class discussions in American history are typically dignified, quiet, and slow-moving, with an expansion by him of minor details. He combines a gentle urging for intellectual prowess with an almost slavish adher- ence to Morison and Commager. His office as curator of the Quaker Collection fits him as though he were destined for the role. A Friend, he specializes in study- ing the history of American social reform movements, and believes that the peace movement has always been a part of U.S. politics. Drake has a passionate love for books ( to appreciate a book you ' ve got to handle it, feel It, smell it . . . become one with the hook. ) He demands voluminous bibliographies, but encourages a cultural, more than intellectual, knowledge of books. Ticentv ECONOMICS The economics department resides, appropri.uely enough, in Whitall, the building to and through which many a greenback flows. We must give the ec scholars credit for discussing dispassionately such emotionally charged subjects as income, taxes, and depressions, and for considering such weighty questions as whether the invisible hand is really invisible and what the chances are of transforming guns into butter. Howard Teaf is a tough customer, especially when he knows you don ' t know what you ' re talking about. His discussion section is one long cataclysmic catechism, in which he demands extreme precision in formulating detinitions and utilizing concepts. Even his lectures ,ire so conducted that most of the information presented is eventually elicited from the students. He character- istically refers to all students by their last names, es- pecially when he becomes angry (no rarity). His classes start in high gear (usually he begins talking as he approaches the doorway), but sometimes he stretches out his long frame m his chair, closes his eyes, and describes dreamily his observations while visiting the Near East. Teaf specializes m business and labor ec, and has served as an advisor to the state of Pennsyl- vania on insurance problems. He frequently visits Harrisburg; his majors wonder if he goes to try to prevent the new belt highway from running through his new house. Holland ( Ho ) Hunter ' 4. , the master of Wood- side Cottage and third floor Whitall, holds the faculty speed record for ascending and descending stairs. He calm;; down in class, however, where, after putting the daily outline on the board and manipulating his course cards to correspond to the students seating arrange- ments, he folds his hands, occasionally scratches his nose, and procedes to criticize an incorrect statement or faulty generalization with the initially innocuous deterent Well, now, wait a minute. He is plagued by books that keep disappearing from the reserve desk, but is pleased by researchers who discuss their topic and outline with him ( Then how can I fail to give you an A? ). Ho ranks as an expert on the Russian transportation systems, and spent a month in the Soviet Union last summer. Will Lyons comes to the ec department this year with ' a background in government service and Wall Street finance. His special field is everyone ' s favorite subject — money — and his pet theory on how to have the same may surprise some: If something goes wrong with a durable good (e.g., auto, TV), throw it away. It ' ll cost less to buy a new one. His students speculate that besides collecting pipes and stamps, Mr. Lyons may also save such memorabilia as GM and RCA stocks. Will dislikes losing at bridge, being interrupted during class by phone calls from the library, and that ob- noxious parable, You can lead a horse to water but you can ' t make him drink. Lyons appears more theo- retical than case-study-oriented Teaf. HOWARD M. TEAF, JR. HOLLAND HUNTER WILL LYONS Twenty-one { rr f- ,. 1 f LOUIS C. GREEN AARON LEMONICK THOMAS A. BENHAM FAY A. SELOVE PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY In the context of d liberal arts atmosphere, physics is a symbol of the outside world where technological advance is the order of the day and emphasis is, with attendant regret, shifting from an artistic to a mecha- nistic culture. To the world-weary physics student, however, its high level of abstraction provides a wel- come relief from the apparently hopeless muddle of social science and the aimless frustnition of modern art. In the microcosm of Haverford. then, the physics department assumes a position of aloofness from the main stream of intellectual activity. Life surges for- ward at its own hurricane pace, oblivious to the idyllic atmosphere elsewhere; Sharpless hums with a dizzy round of new equipment purchases and curriculum changes. Aaron Lemonick, who with his boundless and exuberant energy has almost completely trans- formed the face of the department over the past four years, is a dynamic and convincing teacher, spending much care and thought on the development of new teaching methods and materials. Mrs. Fay Selove com- bines a passion for Turkish cigarettes with an uncanny sense of the importance of a laboratory in modern physics, a valuable and unusual feature for a small department. Thus, except for the peaceful soirees at Tom Benham ' s, where bedraggled Efe?M students come to report long-overdue problem sets and where the world revolves around a cup of Constant Comment, the department lurches ahead, possibly trying to fol- low Sputniks and Explorers in their headlong courses above. Notwithstanding the absence of astronomy majors in the class, the astronomy department is far from idle. In addition to those students of introductory astronomy who always seem to find out that the second semester is much harder than the first, bemused liberal-arts students come to the spacious observatory classroom on Mondays to learn of Kepler, Newton, Faraday, and Einstein, and bemused physics students come on Tues- days to learn of those more recondite deities, Navier- Stokes and Sturm-Liouville. The octagonal library, reminiscent of a polyhedron from Diirer ' s Melencolia, IS filled with a peaceful solemnity, where Louis Green ' s tall benign figure intrudes apologetically from time to time to examine the latest copy of the Astrop iysical Journal, replacing it quickly so as not to nip in the bud the aspirations of any future astronomy major. The bewildering array of courses required of a major in physics takes its toll. After four years, the two physics majors m the Class of 1958, a smaller and perhaps less representative group than most, are es- caping back into the less abstract world of the humani- ties, where life seems more tangible and possibly even more genuine. But on occasion the luckless ones drag themselves back to the gloomy dungeons of Sharpless, to their bubbling vats of liquid nitrogen and to their ghoulishly shrieking 600-cycle square waves. For these tortures are as nothing compared to those which are to come. . . . Twenty-two MATHEMATICS Havcrford ' s m.itlK-ni.itics rooms bear the labels East and West , but the majors who studied topology found out that the twain eould actually meet. Al- though both majors and teachers realize that some (e.g., physicists, psychologists, morticians, gamblers, and income-tax cheaters) use their favorite subject simply as a tt)ol, they enioy mathematics for its own sake and for the marvelous, infinite, n-dimensional world it opens to them. To some, mathematics is to science what phil- osophy IS to the humanistic disciplines — a distant com- mon meeting ground. Cletus ( Clete ) Oakley, head of the department, may look stuffy and serious in his classroom (even at iS a.m.), especially when he slides his glasses to the tip of his nose and peers over the tip of the rims at a student who obviously has not done the day ' s home- work; or when he bows his head, closes his eyes, and clarities a principle in quiet, measured tones. The first sign of his true spontaneity w-ould be his leap onto the sill to lower the top window and let in refreshing breezes. His humorous extroversion would be confirmed by his frequent vaults out of the East Math Room window onto Founders Porch. No sideliner with re- spect to athletics, Clete still offers an A to any of his students who can beat him in handball. Many have attempted, but nobody has yet had the strength, ability, or cunning to emerge victorious. Mr. Oakley ' s math- ematical interests range from an explanation of Mor- ley ' s theorem (to be seen, framed, in the Gummere- Morley Room), to co-authoring the Freshman Math text, to designing educational cutouts for children ' s magazines. Robert ( Bullet Bob ) Wisner is a shrewd, liberal thinker who maintains rigorous teaching standards and commands the admiration of his hard-working math majors. In his criticism of philosophers, Haverford ' s admission policy, and other weighty issues in society, he tends to biting and caustic sarcasm. Bullet Bob frequents the Coop regularly, either conducting an ad- vanced seminar, conversing with several other pro- fessors, or holding a coffee hour v ith some of the younger secretaries. When asked about his office hours, he replies succinctly: Almost never. Perhaps this occurs because he ' s often so busy playing with his flexagons. When Fr.mklin Duttenhofer began teaching here as an instructor in the fall of 195 7, he needed no in- troduction to Haverford College, having graduated from this venerable institution just fifteen months previously. Fr.mk then became a Quaker (University of Pennsyl- vania variety) and has now returned to preach in his Main Line drawl of curves, natural functions, and limits. CLETUS O. OAKLEY FRANKLIN H. DUTTENHOFER ROBERT J. WISNER Tu ' entv-three ENGINEERING CLAYTON W. HOLMES THEODORE B. HETZEL NORMAN M. WILSON HiUes Laboratory, home of the Micrometer Men, appears to one as a building both low-down (with respect to height) and removed (with respect to the gravel road in front of it.) These features, however, by no means symbolize the quality of Haverford ' s engineering facilities, faculty, or students. Hilles is a huge building, though, and while its basement machine shops remain the sacred and unchallenged domain of the micrometer men, its ground floor (especially Room 2) is invaded by such non-electrical disciplines as economics, Quaker philosophy, and history of art. The engineering majors admittedly do not emerge after four years with cither the breadth or depth of knowledge of M.I.T. graduates. Their proficiency should not be underestimated, however, for one must consider Haverford ' s liberal arts orientation and the comple.xities and accomplishments of modern earth-satellite-era engineering. Clayton Holmes, chairman of the department, is a typical gruff New Englander whose crisp and full New Hampshire accent would un- doubtedly carry even from a sputnik. Professor Holmes specializes in mechanical engineering ( this problem is simply elementary fourth- grade thermodynamics ) and in scheduling classes at the unholy, un- popular, and unforgettable hour of eight in the morning. A very good craftsman, he conducts each winter the non-academic course in cabinet- making. Theodore ( Ted ) Hetzel is a quiet and shy man, and rarely tells tall tales, pardner, despite his affinity for Western-style, rancher-cut clothes. He teaches with patience and precision ( don ' t forget about the bridge that collapsed because the engineer misplaced a decimal point ), but out of class is usually seen rushing about, perhaps in a ti;-y because of his unique worries (water fights, festive nights, students ' rights) as chairman of the student afi airs committee. During autumn Saturday afternoons he may be seen at the soccer field, braving the cold and windy weather, and beaming with fatherly pride as he photographs his swift-footed son, Hennic Het;el ' 60. Professor Hctzel is responsible for sundry photographs appearing in this journal. Norman Wilson may be described as truly a craftsman ' s craftsman — a man equally at home photographing Biblical pottery, repairing a Cadillac transmission, cleaning a rifle, or demonstrating the fine points of machine and lathe technique to his first-year students. A man of patience, humor, and generosity, Wilson advises and helps all students with electrical or construction problems, and devotes many an afternoon to teaching non-academic courses in photography and metal work. Dur- ing the 1957-58 academic year he also assumed the duty of chairman of the arts and services program. TH ' e.ity- oiir SOCIOLOGY Sociology is the most nebulous of the social sciences, and it is the one most susceptible to interpretation with a flair. Such an interpretation is given by Ira DeA. Reid. He is of impressive stature both physically and intellectually, and his eloquence at the seminar table reminds his students that he once wanted to be an actor. They are particularly impressed by his original ideas and his initiative in backing them up. For example, imagine the astonishment of last year ' s seniors when Reid asked them if, during the school year, they would like to sneak off to the Virgin Islands for a couple of weeks. Work and pleasure were combined in this particular project. Both the department and its name grew this year. Edw.ird B. Harper joined the staff to teach anthropology, and the offi- « cial title became the department of sociology and anthropology. Harper is sharing his talents (and his knowledge of the culture of the Indian subcontinent) with Bryn Mawr. John W. Smith, already a member of the French department, made a partial shift and devoted some of his teaching time to the introductory sociology course. His quick insights into problems of many varieties have gained him an outstanding reputation on campus. MUSIC No, no, no . . . Impossible! . . . Simply can t be done! This familiar plea will regale the ear of anyone brave enough to venture into the Union on a Tuesday or Thursday evening or into Goodhart on a Wednesday night, yet somehow it al- ways does get done. Even Wild Bill Reese ' s side activities do get done with the same high level of performance that char- acterize all his concerts such as the Stravinsky at Swarthmore or the Morart Concerto with Agi Jambor. Unlike his associate, and in the best artistic tradition, Alfred J. Swan remains discreetly aloof from campus politics. Indeed he is known to most of us as that man with a white beard and a boyish walk who emerges every spring to preside over the stu- dent music collection. Possessor of a cool Parisian wardrobe, English wit, Russian education, and considerable patience, he is ideally equipped to cope with that inveterate aesthete and seeker of universal truth, the student composer. IRA DE A. REID EDWARD B. HARPER JOHN W. SMITH ALFRED J. SWAN WILLIAM H. REESE ru LAURENCE W. WYLIE MARCEL M. GUTWIRTH MICHAEL SHAW m ' MANUEL J. ASENSIO r â–  JEAN-LOUIS CURTIS ROMANCE LANGUAGES The academic year l V- iS meant for Laurence Wylie, head of Franco-Haverfordian activities the return of wanderlust or more properly e?ii ' ie de voyager and a subsequent departure for the Gallic spiritual homeland. Here, we assume, he has found a sociologically pure petit village which is destined to be an incomparably fascinating study for future generations of French 13-14 scholars. Li the interim that learning which falls under the banner of the tri-couleur is being managed by Gut- wirth, the French department ' s perennial enfant terrible. Al- though far from being an en ant, the mature use of a brilliant and warm intelligence always in evidence, he is for many aspiring French majors the cause of severe self-examination as to whether his rigorous standards can be met. Terrible in ex- actitude and terrible for those who expect to coast through a demanding and thoughtful literature course, Gutwirth is cap- able in many areas of some of the most original and yet well schoiiled thinking to be found on Haverford ' s campus. In return for M. Wylie !a Re ' publique has loaned us Jean- Louis Curtis, Prix Goncourt novelist and affable instructor here on the more recent results of French literary effort and the more ancient traditions of linguistic syntax. Often to be seen strolling down the campus boulevards in veston de sport tres tres chic and lunettes verts or pausing to discuss le mot juste in French or equally well in English, Curtis always impresses as one truly at ease with his great intellect, someone who quietly knows what existence, existential or not, is all about. Another member of riotre equipe is Michael Shaw, a Frenchman by research. Judicious observer of literature, gram- mar, students, violins, and fast automobiles, he comes to us from Swarthmore with all of that institution ' s deadly earnest. Eager to opine and most often correct, he was once reported caught in the act of smiling. Haverford promises not to hold it against him, nor to let it detract from its respect for unusual powers of analysis and criticism. 7 Jotre e ' qiiipe frangais, technically the Department of Ro- mance Languages, strives to represent fairly all peoples from La Manche to the straits of Gibraltar. As a mildly dissatisfied civil engineer in Spain, Manuel J. Asensio — our one-man Span- ish Department — dreamt of politics and teaching. After fortune granted him a taste of the former, the Spanish civil war and his own bold action brought him and his wife to Haverford to a fulfillment of the second dream. Tn a handful of years he has established Spanish House (la Casa to the natives) as a Gib- raltar-like institution in sharp contrast to la Maison Frangaise shifting will-o the-wisp fashion with every new crop of fresh- men. Through his years at Haverford, too, sound scholarship and heart-felt interest in every student have earned for Asensio the respect of everyone who comes within his ken. GERMAN The C ' lcrman faculty ' s principal task involves not only in- struction in a highly formal and precise linguistic system, but also explanation of a great cultural tradition. Patient Harry Pfund 22 heads the department. With his trusty two-shirtcr attache case by his side, he astounds his students v. ' ith his perfect pronunciations and flowery script. The students who took the Faust course at his house will have reason to remember the homemade German dishes each week following class. Pfund dos not scorn the movies — especially German films. He drives a Volkswagen, which transports him to the meetings of innumerable German and literary societies. John ( ary ' 4i takes a personal interest in his students and in the larger community. His spiritual values are evidenced by his religious and ethical opinions in Meeting, his past experi- ence with German workcamps, and his active participation in campus drives (such as Spring Day) and in the Student Chris- tian Youth movement. He finds our glee club and soccer team especially satisfying sources of enjoyment. RUSSIAN Frances de Graaff, Russian teacher on joint appointment with Bryn Mawr, was born, symbolically enough, halfway be- tween the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., and can speak seven languages including her native Dutch. Patient and understanding, she makes the five-times-weekly introductory course less of a chore than it v -ould seem from the catalog. To those unfamiliar with Cyrillic characters. Miss de GraafF can be identified by her ur.iy Opel and her trilingual spaniel, Tony. LATIN AND GREEK It is inconceivable to think of Latin and Greek at Haver- ford without feeling the sanctity of the classics embodied m the two men who govern those languages. Howard Comfort 24 tries to make Cicero sing for students despite outside distur- bances, such as rifle shots from the physics labs and the smell of formaldehyde in the halls. Behind a table of Roman potter ' Comfort sits, inhaling his umbilical pipe and hoping his stu- dents may exhume some wit from the day ' s verses, but display- ing only an enigmatical archaic smile. But at the prospect of a senior ' s mental suicide he will jump to the black tablet to eluci- date Catullus. The flamlxiyancy of Greek professor Arnold Post ' 11 in- cludes effortless ego-deflation, pioneer humor, and his famous tears over Plato. A representative of an older scholastic order. Post has a superlative faculty for synthesizing all the fields of knowledge which he has ingressed, from any language to astron- omy to the Bible. He is not at all above complimenting pupils, yet he docs not teethe them. HARRY W. PFUND •«t JOHN R. GARY %• FRANCES de GRAAFF LEVI ARNOLD POST HOWARD COMFORT Inauguration of President Hugh Borton The Inauguration was the outstanding single event of the academic year. It combined elements of a new start, hints of a new course, and generous portions of a Mike Todd spectacle. Besides ceremoniously start- ing the term of office of President Hugh Borton, it provided an opportunity for recognition of the man who had guided the college for the previous two years, Archibald Macintosh. The inaugural ceremonies, highlighed by President Borton ' s address, took place before over 2,000 stu- dents, delegates from other colleges, and guests in the field House on Saturday, 19 October 1957. The ceremonies were simple. S. Emlen Stokes, chair- man of the Board of Managers, introduced Borton to the guests, paying tribute to his past achievements as an administrator and scholar, particularly in his most recent post as director of the East Asian Institute, Columbia University. Stokes then conferred the presi- dency on Borton. Borton then took the rostrum, and his first official act as president was to award an honorary Doctor of Laws degree to vice president Archibald Macintosh in a surprise addi tion to the proceedings. He cited Mac as an esteemed alumnus, perenially youthful adven- turer, director of admissions for a quarter of a century; vice president who twice assumed the arduous task of administering the college (1945-46 and 1955-57); be- loved and wise custodian of those high qualities of per- sonality and character required of Haverford ' s student body; steadfast, patient, unselfish exemplar of the col- lege ' s ideals. The audience responded to this tribute to Mac with a spontaneous standing ovation. In his address, Borton said, The small liberal arts college cannot escape the pressure [of the increased number of students desiring an education] and may have to carry a share of the burden. If such a college sets a limit on the number of its students for the next decade and a half, it will place an impossible task on its admissions office to select a well rounded group of students. If such an institution refuses to enlarge its student body, it will be neglecting its responsibility to the society of which it is a part and from which it cannot be isolated on our present age. The whole address concerned itself with various ramifications of organic change in colleges in general, and in Haverford in particular. Borton mildly chided the tendency of alumni to feel that the college was of ideal size at the time of their graduation, and he as- serted that increases in the size of the college have been accompanied often by growth in the college ' s reputa- tion. The ideal size of any institution is relative to both internal and external factors, he went on to state. Borton discussed two other aspects of change in the colleges — teachers and the nature of the liberal arts college. Here, though, he spoke in more general terms, aiming no special significance at the Haverford campus. The principal problem, to which Borton referred back time and again, was the influx of students in the com- ing years. Like all academic ceremonies, Haverford ' s Inaugura- tion was well adorned with academic delegates. Henry Joel Cadbur ' (14. HoUis Professor of Divinity Emeritus at Harvard, led the procession of representatives from 16? colleges, universities, secondary schools, learned societies, and community organizations into the red- and-black bedecked field house, which was used that day for its first public event. H: ii In contrast to the solemnity and dignity of the pro- ceedings on Inauguration Day were the goings-on in Twent -eig,ht the few days immcdi.itely preceding. For, to the stu- dents ' point of view, the Inauguration really began about a week previous to the ceremonies. Six days, to be exact. On Sunday, 13 October, residents of Lloyd Hall woke up to discover a crew of men driving stakes into the quadrangle in front of the dormitory. These were the first steps in the erection of the Haverford Tent a structure and symbol which was to monopolize cam- pus attention for a week. As workmen l.ibored all day Sunday (presumably at double time), it became evident that the tent was to be no mean feature of the campus during its ten- ancy of the Lloyd lawn. It was to cover the whole space with three sections (forming a bloated U ) and run over into the lawn at the side of Founders Hall. As construction proceeded Monday and Tuesday, more became known about it. It was to be completely enclosed and artificially heated, given doors and its own lighting system. And it was to seat 1,700 people. The tent, it turned out. was to be an appurtenance to the Inauguration. The college had sent out invitations to over 6.000 individuals — all alumni, all students ' par- ents, friends of the college, other institutions, and per- sonal friends of Hugh Borton. The response had over- whelmed the inaugural committee: requests for over 2.000 tickets eventually poured into the ofHces in Founders basement and began to overflow into the laundry room. Tha-coUege found itself utterly unable to feed all of the guests in available space, even if the dining hall, gymnasium, common room, and all other open rooms in campus buildings were used. The weather could not be depended upon for outdoor eat- ing. Hence the tent. Student reaction was not characterized by this sort of cold calculation, though. It tended to become bi- ] )oIari;ed at levity and distress — levity because the tent was the obvious butt of innumerable iokes; distress be- cause of feelings that the tent (1) was a blot on the campus landscape, even for only a week, (2) repre- sented a pompous inaugural ceremony repugnant to the Quaker tradition of simplicity, and or {}) caused a great, needless expense to the college. One student vented his feelings in poetry: They ' ve erected a tent Wherein to repent The money they re sf- ent For the dazzlenient Of the mteUectual nation ' it i Hugh ,s coronatioyi In iinld celebration And mad tittUation Our veneration For the new administration . . . Other students hung a circus poster from the second stor ' of Fifth Entry. Protests and jokes spread through the campus, and the rumor mill produced tales of spir- iting elephants and dancing girls (Bryn Mawr variety) Twenty-nine onto the campus as a counterattraction to Saturday ' s academic festivities, and of surreptitiously sabotaging the tent ' s complex systems. The latter rumors appar- ently spread outside the student body, for the tent was guarded by a squadron of uniformed men from Burns Detective Agency on Thursday and Friday nights. Throughout the week, the green-and-dirty-white can- vas monster was verbally pilloried up and down the campus: This tent I will consent WitJi Its striped emblazoyiment . . . Fifth Day ' s meeting for worship became a meeting for debate of the merits of the latest addition to the campus. Members of the radical section of the stu- dent body attacked the tent ' s aesthetic qualities and cost, and the ceremonies for which it stood. Arnold Post replied from the Front Bench with an exposition of the need to accommodate the people who had ex- When the Inauguration passed, almost all traces of it passed into the outer reaches of the fourth dimen- sion, as is common with most events at Haverford. The size of the college has not yet been increased; nor has there been any further mention of Haverford ' s obli- gation to expand, despite the appointment of a new vice president for development. The tent was taken down on the day following the Inauguration (presum- ably again at double time) . Even the box lunches dis- appeared into the past after the extras had been made integral components of Mrs. Nugent ' s meals of Sunday and Monday. Tempiw eAax rerum. Especially at Haverford. pressed a positive interest in Haverford by requesting tickets, and a reference to the 75th anniversary cele- bration of the college in 1908. Happily, none of the threatened dire consequences came to pass. The radiators and fluorescent lights func- tioned perfectly. It did not even rain on Saturday. The guests and students ate their lunches in the tent — box lunches of fried chicken, with the boxes suitably in- scribed. But for a while, at least, the prevailing opinion on campus remained : We have our nobility In our frugality True dignity In simplicity Thirty CLEANING WOMEN Since the Havcrt ' ord idc.il ot Quaker simplicity was being perverted by many into ordinary sloppiness in regard to the care of rooms, Aldo Caselli, recalling that cleanliness is next to Godliness, instituted what seemed a radical departure from student self-government. This, of course, consisted of the cleaning women. Now, this particular problem lends itself very well to Hegelian analysis. The state of affairs regarding the maids boils down thusly : Thesis : Cleanliness is next to . . . Antithesis: Sloppy rooms. Synthesis: Cleaning women. Then: J lew thesis: Cleaning women. Antithesis: Students. Svrit iesis : Complaints. We must beware not to take too Hegelian an approach, or maximum confusion rather than enlightenment will result. This development naturally led to another of those famous controversies, without which intellectual life be- comes effete and stultified. The Defense Department row was in the throes of being peaceably settled and the Fraternity imbroglio had not yet risen to the fore. The first sting of criticism brought forw-ard resulted from the .S. O extra per year added to the room bill. After an initial yowl, the student body settled down m stoic resignation to await further developments. The developments accumulated slowly but force- fully, culminating finally in a special Students Council session with Mr. Caselli. Eleven complaints regarding the cleaning w-omen, some real and some imaginary, were presented; Mr. Caselli received kudos from Sec- retary Englehardt for his perceptive candor in dealing with the issue. The complaints, for what they were worth, pictured these fair creatures in somewhat the following light. They descend upon the room (or suite) as a horde of locusts, laden with vacuum cleaners, rags, and various other paraphernalia. The noise anticipated causes the diligent (or hacking) Ford to flee to the sanctuary of a friend ' s room. Less sensitive (or more curious) fel- lows who remained reported several observations, which have been duly incorporated into Haverford tradition. Their avearge propensity to loaf has been called truly enormous. Possibly the blithe, not to mention the hard, spirits lurking in many Haverford rooms are detrimental to labor. Then again, they may have had an arduous task in cleaning other rooms pre- viously. In addition, their marginal propensity to chat was also called quite prodigious, though few students understood about what the purgers of dirt babbled so copiously. Perhaps they were exploring the Fraternity question and what bearing it had upon the consump- tion of Chianti. They may have been attempting to discover the Tao. There is the possibility that they were comparing the relative efficiency of right-handed vs. left-handed brooms. Or they may have even been trying to learn English. Whatever it was, it has been firmly established that this trait was due to their Mediterranean origin and sex. Their mere presence drew suspicions that they were secret agents for the administration, ever alert for liquor bottles and hotplates. Their work (they actual- ly did some) aroused considerable dissension. Some complained of the lack of thoroughness. Students be- wailed their misplacing of books and papers in the process of dusting. It was claimed that their day would not be complete if they did not disturb or damage a daily quota of hi-fi equipment lying about. They would occasionally make themselves welcome as bears in a honeycomb as they barged into and cleaned a room while a student would be furiously pecking out a paper due within the hour. Obviously, such controversial characters tend to be- come riddles wrapped in mysterious surroundings by an enigma (apologies to Sir Winston). The students consider them lazy, talkative, inconsiderate, and rather useless. The Comptroller ' s Office considers them para- gons of cleanliness, industry, thoughtfulness, and neces- sity — though also the unfortunate victims of popular hostility. Through thesis, antithesis, and synthesis — and more important, through personal observation — one can de- termine for oneself the value of cleaning women in the Haverford community. The unbiased observer must admit, however, that the rooms this year are (for a longer or shorter period of time, depending on the in- habitants thereof) cleaner than they were last year. Thirty-one COLLECTION The walk between the trellis of Union and Roberts wise pillars invariably shrinks on Tuesday monings under a two-way proeession of colliding underclass- men. Two lines of Westtown and colored jackets weave and jostle each other resentfully from the piti- less ping of little mailbox gates to the plunging thunder of saddle shoes and white bucks down the musty steps of Roberts, all of the herd aware that the stream to Union IS but a last-minute detour to reality. In this hour before noon, the college brings its interesting students before a visiting speaker, occasionally from outside the campus and the American Friends Service Committee. Looking up from a torn envelope, the Haverford creature can once again fill his eyes and back pockets with the wooden linen of the auditorium in Roberts. No matter how you cut it, there is a glaring but effort- less compulsion about the sanitary white and light green of this Theatre in the Horseshoe; around the blinking beholder of the horizontal Venetian bars have the Friendly persuasion of American Gothic prongs. On rare days the darker stage offers some new visual bauble, whether a white screen, white sketch pad. or even black board branded with the breeds of Japanese cows. Downstairs sit the groundlings, patients to fate, marveling at how medical it all is. Above, reg- nant over the lower jaws, supreme in a sense of the past, the slouches; among these is Jay Mohr ' s curved garrison, whose fealty is to the nudity of the balcony clock. AAHHEMM.

Invariably the speaker lopes up to his mahogany shield and opens with an allusion to the captive audi- ence; the pun is nauseating enough to insure athlete ' s tooth to the visitor, and foam filters on the lips of Haverfordians anxious for the first faux pas. Now a thick-spectacled senior in tan galoshes creeps around the runway to perch on the electric organ pedals, ready with his flashgun to fiiv on the evidence.

ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN PUT THE LIGHTS ON NOW. Snickers bud through the student body. COULD WE HAVE THE LIGHTS PLEASE. At the President ' s nod the sea of Levi surges past the .stranded seniors with memories of inner space beeps and a better lecture on Peter Rabbit. Jay Mohr is the last to leave. Near the front of the hushed balcony he looks around, murmurs, There ' s no money for a class gift, nobody pays his dues, nobody wants Ben Cooper ' s job interviews . . . SNOW . . .

This fall the furry caterpillars had grown an extra- thick layer of fur, a sure sign of a cold winter and a lot of snow, said those in the know. But no en- lightened Haverfordian paid them any heed, in the face of almost total absence of snow for the past few winters and the indisputable warming trend over the long term of winters. But It snowed this winter. It snowed and snowed. At this writing, with spring due in just a few hours, there are over 1 .i inches on the ground, and it is still snowing. Oh yes, it ' s a wonderful day. Why can ' t every das- be like this? said our roommate. Power is out in our room. The telephone is in, but we can ' t call home, because the lines are down there. The heat has been off in our room since mid-morning, and it is beginning to get a trifle chilly. There was no milk for lunch, because the truck didn ' t get here until mid-afternoon. ' â– omii i l Trees and branches are down all over campus, just like in hurricane Hazel. Outside the sophomores and imitation sophomores have replaced their sanguine sport of frisby with snow- balling. At present their energies are directed at each other, but after the fall is completed, they will be turned toward dormitory windows, v ith the room of any student improvident enough to have left his window open by the tiniest crack (or unforunate T iirty-three enough to have had it broken) as the grand prise. Later, after the weather has gotten warmer, the last part of the game will he played; the Students ' Coun- cil will he assessed for damages. But we have our consolations. First, the maids did not come to clean our rooms today. Perhaps they couldn ' t make it to the college, and perhaps they were removing snow. Second, we have the knowledge that Haverford is about the only purveyor of educa- tion open in eastern Pennsylvania. This morning, while the power was still on, the clock radio woke us up with an infinite drone of names of school closings, special event cancellations, and breakdowns in trans- portation. Penn is closed; Temple is closed; Villanova is closed. Haverford, being self-contained, is open. Self-contained is right! One look at the parking lot shows just how self-contained Haverford is right now. The gas chariots are sitting up to the running boards in snow. The driveways in the Lloyd lot have been plowed, but the snow was just pushed to the side, adding to the barrier that must be surmounted or re- moved before any car can leave its space. Nevertheless, we are getting dug out of the snow. even before it has ceased to fall. This winter Aldo ' s new crew of groundkeepers has had a chance to get into a snow-shoveling routine. They started out slow- ly, presumably having seen little snow in Sunny Italy, and the first snowfall was shoveled through trampling by students feet. Then they were overwhelmed by the first of the two really big snowstorms of the winter. But practice has made perfect, and in this storm, the snow shovels and snowplows practically activated them- selves, so quickly did the Haverford crew clear the walks (starting, of course, with the walk from the parking lot to Whitall.) In any event, snow-shoveling is one field in which Haverford is clearly better than Bryn Mawr. The Br ' n Mawr crews nei ' er (well, hardly ever) shoveled the path. But that won ' t matter for a while. By spring, the snow will just be a convenient thing that has framed the buildings to make enticing photos for recruiting pamphlets. But now one wonders, after a fashion, whether the snow will end. Certainly it won ' t end by spring. Will it have cleared enough to permit tomorrow night ' s presentation of The Dar 1,5 Light Enough, ironically subtitled, A Winter Play ? MEETING Eleven o ' clock: time for Meeting again. The Thurs- day sights are familiar; the arched bridge bending under many feet, the orange-grey ginkoes ground under insensitive feet, the light-hearted urchins swinging to and fro, and then the dull, yellow-brown, confining walls. The high blue sky of light is hardly noticed through the treetops. The undulating line moves on, voicing problems of med school applications and girl fnends. On the porch, the line is processed by the guardians of the house who remain ever apart from the house. Through the portals pass the enrolled wights carry- ing Chemistry books and various magazines. The bright covers of Life and Time magazines lend a little color to the musty interior. On the facing bench sit the conservatively dressed men of maturity and several students overlooking the mass of downcast faces. The rustling of pages signi- fies the beginning of Meeting. The minutes pass away ingloriously. Suddenly the wandering minds are brought back to reality by four words; Much ado about nothing! Smiles are suppressed, ribs are pushed M ' . MiM and the magazine readers assume more comfortable positions. Tranquillity returns. The clock in the mind turns back . . . far back ... to the Rhinie Meetings . . . and indoctrination into the hallowed tradition of Meet- ing ... A period of quiet meditation where the indi- vidual rests from his busy schedule and finds his true self. For as it is stated in Ecclesiastes, To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Thirty -four heaven: a time to he horn, and .i time to die ... a time to east away stones, and a time to gather stones together ... a time to keep silence, and a time to speak . . . An opportunity for those personally in- .vpired to express their thoughts to the group. In this one period a week, then whole college meets to- gether for spiritual union ... a period for Quakers and non-Quakers to seek inner communion and light ... a period of quiet meditation . . . The clock in the mind turns back to the present. The present of students reading, sleeping, coughing, whispering. The present time of speeches censuring the tent, censuring required Meeting and censuring other speeches. And the stalwart defense of the tent and the travelogues, and not to be forgotten an infrequent, inspired discourse. The present of noise, disrespect and discontent. Where is the quiet meditation, and what ever happened to the ideals of individual worship and thought. ' Perhaps the alumni of the future will not be as enthusiastic about Meeting as alumni in the past have been. On the other hand, some of those enthusi- astic alumni also read Tn?ie in Meeting while they were m college and yet by some process of osmosis they achieved a great benefit from Meeting. Perhaps Meeting is not such a farce as it seems to he. But looking around at these students assiduously studying or sleeping does not inspire confidence in the effective- ness of Meeting. One of the members of the Front Bench rises and begins a long tirade. A few students look up. As soon as his identity is ascertained, interest subsides and mag- azines are again taken up. Thoughts wander. The clock in the mind turns forward to the future ... of compulsory Meeting ... a venerable institution . . . surviving open and suppressed student dissension, new administrations, new generations. A tradition which will be forever questioned and forever defended. All kinds of solutions to the problem of Meeting will be tried: fewer Meetings, increased faculty attendance, larger Meetings, smaller Meetings. This year the tra- dition of compulsory Meeting will not be seriously challenged because students have few Meetings to at- tend. The quality of Meeting has to improve m the fu- ture; It can get no worse . . . Back to the present ... It is getting close to 11 : ' i ' i — closing time. The old fellow up front is still speaking. Mac looks worried, students are growing restless, black jackets with red lettering on the backs are being donned, a student in the back of the room is mumbling something from Doctor Faustus: The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike, the Devil will come, and Faustus must be . . . Suddenly the speaker up front drops out of sight. The blessed sign IS given and the e.xodus begins. Another Meeting has ended, the pavement resounds again with the stamping of unfettered feet, the tradition lingers on . . . Thirty ' fivs MRS. MIRIAM NUGENT Dietician MRS. MARIE WEISS Dining Hall DR.

RUTH MAYS DAN ELY Bookstore Post Office Thirty-six Housekeeper Coop DINING HALL The great ehange m the dinmg room tins ye.ir was what appeared to he a throwback to the days of Manchu China — the appearance of the queue. This, of course, was caused hy the change-over to cafeteria service. Though this change was originally labeled as a trial, few believed sufficiently in the nnpartiality of the judges to anticipate any reversion to family-style service. This change, naturally, had great psychological and sociological — not to say economical — ramifications. As the year went by, the queues grew shorter and shorter as homo haverfordensis strove to adapt to his environ- ment. The number of waiters was reduced, ostensibly releasing funds to improve the calibre of the meals. Though the more pessimistic foresaw a glut of unem- ployed waiters on the labor market, Don McKelvey, rising young executive and well-groomed maitre d ' hotel, inherited instead the problem of stationing a tray- wielder at every station. The feelings of togetherness, camaraderie, and intel- lectual cerebration — what thereof had been engendered and fostered by the old family-style service — was not in the least hurt by the advent of mechanization. The opportunity to get to know one ' s fellow man while waiting for food was replaced with the opportunity to know him while standing in line. Young intellectuals continued to dawdle over coffee and debate the merits of vodka vs. gin, reality vs. appearance, Bryn Mawr vs. women, and Plessy vs. Ferguson. This would con- tinue on till all hours, much to the chagrin of a frown- ing waiter who was eager to pursue Truth .md Beauty on his own in the form ot a study date. The ever-suffering Mmes. Nugent and Weiss h,id much less to suffer this year, as greater restraint settled upon the clientele. At first it was thought due to a more docile Freshman Class, but more likely it was the sense of grimness instilled by the launching of Russia ' s Sputnik and Muttnik, with the fear that they would next send aloft an elephant. The occasional hurling of ice-cubes resulted in the serving of tepid water. P.A. system announcements of Ford victories resulted in the rapid depreciation of silver ,ind milk pitchers. Johnny, friendly Cerberus of Mother Nugent ' s portals, kept a weather-eye cocked for day-hops, guests, and other alien intruders. To the credit of Mrs. Nugent, steak was more plentiful this year and it has been said that dinners were improved. Lunches, however, especially those with seemingly equine hamburgers, continued to be a trial to the more fastidious bon vivants. This re- sulted in greater patronage of the Coop. The Coop ' s patronage suffered not at all, even though It was forsaken at mid-year by cheery Dan, the Theatrical Man. Neither was the Coop shunned due to the destruction of its Left Bank atmosphere by removal of its old scarred wooden tables and the innovation of new plastic-topped props. This change naturally caused a great controversy, instigated by a Bohemian minority and fortified by nostalgic Rhinies; but even the staunchest traditionalist soon succumbed peacefully to the new look of this Mecca for frus- trated gourmets and assorted gourmands. Thirty 4 4 ) .- Jif 1 ' til A .  u4ft KjS 9 9a , V t H.. I r s . • ' v ' - FOOTBALL Except for a mid-season letdown and onslaught by Asian flu, Haverford ' s experienced football squad, led by a nucleus of seven senior lettermen, fulfilled pre-season expectations, compiling a third consecutive winning season under the guidance of coaches Ran- dall, Docherty, Prudente, and Harter. The opening 19-7 victory over Wagner tagged the Scarlet as a strong second half outfit with staunch defense and fine offensive blocking, and also unveiled the running talents of freshman halfback Bob Ortman, who scored twice in this contest and proved to be the bal!-carr ' ing threat in the Mainliners ' backfield throughout the fall. Hit by injuries and flu, the Ran- dallmen outgained but failed to outscore visiting Wes- leyan, bowing 20-6. This was senior Larry Christmas ' finest game, sixty minutes of outstanding play at cen- ter. After flu cancelled the Hopkins homecoming tilt, the Fords suffered their only other defeat, a 19-0 shut- out by a strong Hamilton eleven. Against Ursinus, a spoiler in the past, the Fords found their offensive power, routing the Collegcville aggregation, 19-6. Ortman tallied twice and halfback Larry Griffith counted on a pass covering thirty-seven yards. Susquehanna fell, 20-2, on the strength of a standout performance by quarterback and co-captain Mark Randall, who engineered all three scoring drives. Linebacker Gerry Gunster played brilliant defensive football, breaking up several opposition passes, and halting the visitors ' only real threat with an acrobatic interception. Forty But, again, the annual game with arch-rival Swarth- more was the cHmax of an outstanding season. Co- captain John Crawford, his pass-catching efficiency im- paired midway through the season hy a broken finger, opened the battle with a crushing tackle which set the jarring pace of the season ' s finale. John ' s outstanding defensive work and offensive blocking earned him a starting position on the ECAC All-East Small College Football Team for 1957. Cuard Andy Cjreen ' s second-period fumble recovery and the shifting, vving-T running of Ortman and sen- ior halfback Tom Maddock, who improved rapidly at his new position throughout the season, set up Haver- ford ' s first touchdown. Moments later, Randall ran the best single play of his career; receiving a punt on his twenty, Mark cut to the Ford sideline and raced eighty yards to paydirt behind the shattering down- field blocking of Dick Gould, Joe Mamana, Green, Griffith, and Ortman. Mamana led a spirited defensive unit in stopping the opponents cold during the final half. Randall also scored in the final quarter after a Garnet fumble to make the scoreboard 18-7. Eric Harrison again played his best against Swarth- more. piling up numerous plays before they got started. Nellie Baker proved that he was a threat on offense as well as defense, and Maddock contributed much- needed speed and drive to the backfield. Together with Crawford, Randall, Gunster, and Christmas, they ended their football careers knowing that in four years at Haverford they had compiled three consecutive win- ning seasons and the best four-year record against the Garnet in the last fifty years. SOCCER The 1957 soccer season was one of transition for Haverford. The problem was teamwork rather than talent. The experience was concentrated in the de- fense around senior fullbacks Tom VanArkel and Rick Hill and captain Dan Wills at goalie, while the for- ward wall, manned primarily by freshmen, had diffi- culty in working together. As the season progressed. Coach Jim Mills succeeded in shifting players and posi- tions to produce the strong finisher which Ford fans eventually watched in November. While the team de- served more than the resulting 4-6 record, it neverthe- less gained the groundwork for a bright future. Thanks to the capable defensive work of the senior trio, the opening loss to a powerful Alumni eleven did not exceed 2-1. Against a strong Princeton team, the inexpencnced hooters suffered a close 3-2 setback as the Tigers took advantage of a slow first half. Freshman left inside Fred Swan scored in both contests with hard and accurate shots from well beyond the 18-yard stripe. Although this was the first Haverford team to score against Princeton within the last four years, the final quarter rally was not enough to overcome a 3-0 half time deficit. TriHihlL ' s followed the Fords in the next two games, for late starts and apparent lack of coordination in the attack resulted in losses. Franklin and Marshall fired m a deuce of tallies in the opening two periods, enough to play defensive soccer in the remaining time and emerge with .i league victory, J-l. Inside right Wer- ner Muller, the season ' s high scorer, made the lone Ford score on a solo dash through both fullbacks after re- ceiving a cross from wing Jim Morris. Despite the two tallies of Muller and a beautiful penalty kick by fresh- man Jim Masland, the Millsmen remained unorgan- ized as they dropped a 5-3 homecoming decision to Rutgers. The nadir of the fall was reached in fiasco against Penn, with a dismal 7-2 whipping, as one Ford goal was scored by an opposing fullback. The story was getting too familiar — a slow first half, a tiring defense, and a rapid comeback too late. Lehigh saw the turn of the tide, with the defense thwarting every attack but one, while the offense clicked throughout the ?-l Ford triumph. Steady-play- ing Gyula Kovacsics, freshman halfback, and senior Laurie Lutherer kept the sphere in opposing territory, where linemen Bob Lathrop and Dave Shivers placed repeated pressure on the losers goaltender. In the following 2-0 Ursinus blanking, the return of center- half Al Fischer, sidelined early with an ankle injury, and the sensational play of freshman fullback Hal Tay- lor bolstered the defense, while Masland and Swan booted home scores. It was the usual story against Navy, a defensive contest with a third quarter collapse which netted thi? victors three quick tallies and a 4-0 shutout. â–  f 9 K s Temple felt the Scarlet axe in an overtime contest, .1-2, as halfbacks Harry Leeser and Evan Alderson sparkled. Mills moving freshman Henny Hetzel to wing and Masland to centerforward tightened the at- tack as the latter drove through the secondar ' to score tiie clincher. LaSalle fell, just as surely, . -l, with Mul- ler and Wills sharing the glory. In the Sw-arthmore heartbreaker, the evenly-matched teams played in a driving snow, and an early Garnet goal, plus a Haver- ford pass which accidentally scored, resulted in a 2-0 defeat. 3 ' n CROSS COUNTRY During their first season under the leadership of Coach Joe Miller, the Ford harriers compiled a dual competition record of three wins and four setbacks. Although bolstered by five returning lettermen, the Haverford team faced a new and difficult test — a longer, 4.2 mile home course. After an unimpressive fourth in the annual pen- tagonal, the thin-clads dropped a 26-29 heartbreaker to Albright but bounced back to win, 2, -.i2, at PMC. In these two contests, sophomores Glenn McCurdy and Dave Hillier shared the glory, while co-captains Myles Johnson and Sandy Phillips, along with senior Dave Nowlis, added valuable points. Despite their best team elfort, the Millermen were edged by Lafayette, 29-30. Although the visitors cap- tured the first three places, the Ford runners, led by Phillips, dominated the remaining positions. The fol- lowing week a powerful Lehigh aggregation swamped Haverford with a lv47 triumph; the Fords never threatened on the winners hilly course. Two easy victims fell within the space of three days. The Delaware shutout victory featured an out- standing 24:14 winning time by Sandy Phillips, who again took the honors when the cross-country forces scored a lopsided 1 7-40 decision over Muhlenberg. Per- haps the most humiliating defeat suffered by the har- riers came in the Hood Trophy contest, when Swarth- more administered a merciless 15-46 blanking. How- ever, the future outlook is bright, with both youth and experience awaiting Coach Miller ne.xt fall. - .ff .. •- â– - .. â– - ., ' r-- -« - .?!. ' . ■ rj| ? g |j j Fortyfoiir 1 en JMI - % « -f . U-) i v yovru7 If H WRESTLING The Ford grapplers ended the 1958 season with a record of one win and six losses, racking up their only victory against Drexel, 19-11. In the opener, Lafayette handed the matmen a 19-10 loss. The vis- itors took four straight matches after a tie in the 1 2 3 -pound class, where Harry Leeser fought to a 6-6 deadlock. Greg Goggin dropped a close decision, and Bruce Campbell was outpointed, 3-0. Freshman Steve Klineberg was pinned, while senior Lin Pennell found himself on the short end of an 8-0 decision. Veteran Holly Price picked up three points for Hav- erford as he fashioned a neat 4-0 shutout at 167. But Lafayette clinched the meet when Captain Skip Ralph was overpowered, 8- J. Heavyweight Jim Katow itz ' s pin after forty seconds of the first period was to no avail. Katowit; again came through with a pin against Ursinus. but the Mainliners again suffered defeat, 19-13, on the home mats. Despite an auspicious start with Leeser ' s pin, the Fords dropped the next five bouts, including the pins of inexperienced freshmen Dick Wenzel and Bo Schambelan. For as long as the present seniors can remember, these middle weights have been Coach Doc Harter ' s big headache. Before Katowitz ' s pin. Price stepped up to 177 and registered an easy 7-2 decision. An almost identical showing was made at Dela- ware, where the grapplers took another beating, 19- 10. After Leeser pinned his opponent at 123, the Fords lost the next four matches in succession. Price cap- tured a 9-0 win, Ralph dropped a close decision after barely making weight, and Katowits blew a 4-0 lead in the third period but luckily secured a tie in the heavyweight class. The semester break proved helpful, as the Fords whipped Drexel upon taking the mat for the first time in February. Leeser remained undefeated by winning his third mateh in sueeession, a 7-0 shutout. New- eomer George Marsden ground out a 5-1 decision, showing that aggressive offensive wrestling pays off. Campbell also hit the winning column with a ste.idy 7-4 victory at 137. The opponents surged into the lead with three straight wins, only to have it erased on a forfeit to Ralph. K.itowitz assured the triumph with an easy first period pin. Success was short-lived, as Muhlenberg and Bucknell dealt out severe losses in the same week to the tired Fords. The matmen could gain only five points against the Mules, and these came on a forfeit to Leeser at 123. Katowitz took the only points at Bucknell, a 6-2 heavyweight de- cision. The final scores in these meets were 23-5 and 20-3. 1 Rated as underdogs, Haverford ' s wrestlers nearly upset the Garnet in the winter ' s finale, which ended at lCvl5. Lesser was outclassed for the second straight time, 6-2, but Marsden used two takedowns and a point for time advantage to take a narrow 7-6 victory. A costly forfeit at 137 gave the visitors the lead, and they strengthened it with two more decisions. At 167, Schambelan fought to an exciting tie, 3-3, but these points were enough to give the Garnet the victory and the Hood Trophy point. The next two Swarth- more wrestlers saw the ceiling with terrifying swift- ness, as Captain Ralph and Co-captain elect Katowiti pinned their men mercilessly in 44 and 20 seconds respectively. Although this showing was anti-climactic, it was certainly indicative of the strength of this season ' s Hav- erford team. These two classes and the 123-pound division were the only areas to earn over ten points for Coach Harter during the winter season. The ex- perience gained in the middle weights should prove helpful in the future. BASKETBALL After a mediocre start, the Haverford varsity basket ' ball team raced through its final contests with six wins in eight attempts, and recorded the finest season mark in eighteen years, 11-6. Perhaps the strangest occurrence of the winter was two victories over arch ' rival Swarthmore, a feat which no Haverford team has accomplished since the series originated. Coach Ernie Purdente ' s hoopsters were unimpres- sive in the pre-league battles. Pharmacy, as usual, proved a pushover, 81-56, with Captain Marty Weigert setting the pace with seventeen points and numerous rebounds to his credit. But Navy and F M won easily, 65- ' i ' i. and 7 ' i-52, respectively, on the new field hou se floor. Sophs Larry Forman and Harris David were the most consistent performers in these setbacks. Forman, the season ' s high-point producer with 328, tallied over thirty in these games, while David ' s defensive work was outstanding. Rutgers of South Jersey felt the comeback lash, 68 ' 52, as subs Will Andrews and Charlie Pursel contributed valuable points. Before va ' cation, wins were also registered at the expense of Johns Hopkins and the National Aggies. Pete Eiden- berg, previously sidelined with a bad ankle, sparked the 71-66 Hopkins conquest with 15 tallies and seven- teen rebounds, while a late second ' half spurt headed by Weigcrt was sufficient to ice victory against the Aggies, 80 ' 70. The vacation layoff proved disastrous as the cagers dropped two ot their first three Middle Atlantic Con- ference games, and barely squeezed by Ursinus, 66-63, in the other. Despite 26 by Forman and double-figure shooting by Hans Engelhardt, Weigcrt, and Eidenberg, Delaware won on their home court, SJ-7I. A full- court press and mounting personal fouls hampered Haverford against the Bears, and only a late rally prevented defeat. The highest scoring game of the season was a 96-88 loss to Dre.xel, the conference cham- pions, who were ahead by as much as seventeen points. In this game and the next one, Al Johnson ' s play- making and timely baskets keyed the Ford attack. Im proved pass patterns and team play were noticed in the Si-65 victory over PMC, and in the defeats of Delaware, 59-49, and Ursinus, 62-50, all home court games. Eidenberg reached his peak, tallying 2 1 in the final contest, while Forman and Weigert were con- sistent from the field and under the boards. Haverford nearly took the league lead after downing Swarthmore, 71-60, on the strength of David ' s IS counters and fantastic defense play. A frantic defense by the Garnet in the final minutes permitted the win- ners to open the key-hole and score more frequently. Andrews ' three-point play with four seconds remain- ing clinched victor) ' at Drew, 77-76, as Phil Kittner and Bob Ortman took over back-court duties when four starters had fouled out. A jump shot at the buzzer gave the PMC Cadets a narrow 79-77 win after Forman ' s tenth two-pointer had erased a previous deficit for Haverford. In what appeared to be the worst performance of the winter, the hoopsters lost miserably to Dre.xel, 88-64, as only Weigert and Forman could manage to score. This same scoring combination sparkled as the Fords down- ed Swarthmore, 56-50, gaining simultaneously a Hood Trophy point and a third place league standing. FENCING Coach Henri Gordon ' s swordsmen finished one of their most disappointing seasons in recent years with only one dual competition victory and a miserable fifth in the Middle Atlantics. The season was marked by three 14-13 heartbreaking losses, where one touch for Haverford could easily have reversed the final score. Juniors Fred Shaw and Elliott Heiman were per- fect in the foil, yet weak bladework in the other two divisions allowed Rutgers of S(.)uth Jersey to take the opener, 14-13. Heiman at foil, the team ' s leading fencer for the winter with an IS-6 overall record, won his three individual bouts, and senior Leighton Price and Dick Curtis took two each, but a powerful New Brunswick Rutgers nine eked out another one-point triumph. Only the strong epee work of Captain Bryan Michener, Dick Lederer, and Browny Speer prevented Lehigh from increasing its margin of 16-11. The fencers were smothered by Drew, lS-9, as only the foil team could better the opponents. The lone success of the season came when the foil and saber groups, led by the flawless performances of Heiman and Shaw, helped to rip Muhlenberg, 16-11. Three more close contests were dropped to Temple, 14-13, and to Johns Hopkins .md Stevens by five-point mar- gins. Boyd Howard at foil and Mike Phillips at saber were the pleasant surprises for the Haverfcird team against the Owls, while Heiman and Price turned in their usual consistent exhibitions. Epee lapses al- lowed the other two victories although Heiman, Price, and Michener each registered two individual match wins. The prospects for the future loom bright with an experienced group of juniors returning next year. TENNIS Alter ,111 unimpressive spring southern trip whieh meludcd tliree straight losses, Coach Norm Bramall ' s nctmen bolted through local competition, losing only to Swarthmore, for a 10-1 season mark in the spring of 19 7. Captain Boh Pratt, perhaps the best athlete in his field that Havcrtord can boast, again registered an un- defeated season. Five consecutive opponents suffered humiliating 9-0 setbacks. F fr ' M, Temple, LaSalle, Moravian, and Lafayette were all helpless against the singles array of Pratt. Bill Fullard, Carl Getty, Hans Engelhardt, John Coulthurst, and John Cope, and the doubles pair- ings of these six starters. Few of the individual matches were carried to three sets. Lehigh fell, 6-3, but not without a fight. One of the best matches of the year was Pratt ' s 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 victory over rival Bill Scarlett. Fullard ' s strong come- back triumph featured a solid 7-2 win over Penn, and Ursinus and Drexel were both shutout victims. The upset of the season was produced by an inspired Gar- net squad which barely edged the Fords, 5-4. Pratt and Coulthurst, the only singles victors, were both pressed to three sets, and the third doubles team failed in the match ' s final competition. Anti-climactically, Muhlenberg w as dropped, 9-0. In the Middle At- la ntics, Pratt and Fullard gave Haverford a first place tie with Lehigh. , BASEBALL Perhaps baseball is coming into its own on the Haverford scene, as the 1957 aggregation compiled an improved 4-9 record and iinished the season strongly. The Fords were led by the hurling of portsider Ed Bradley, whose chart showed 3-1, and the slugging of second-sacker Harris David, whose .377 average and timely base hits contributed valuable offensive power. The Fords suffered early defeats at the hands of LaSalle, PMC, and Moravian despite a tremendous scoring output of twenty-nine runs. Bradley, Dave Shivers, and Tom Del Bello each showed flashes of brilliance while throwing to backstop Ron Kaback, but in every contest sloppy iielding led to a big inning for the winners. David turned in the most outstanding individual performance, connecting for four safeties and driving in four against Moravian. . â– immsfjHiftBniMPTOmmihTf Fifty ' two This coming spring ' s captain, first baseman Pete Eidenberg, led the hitting in these losses, along with left-fielder Al Concors, Captain Howie Walton, and shortstop Mickee Kaback. The battery of Shivers and catcher Larry Maud went the route as the Fords de- feated Drexel for their first conquest, 5-5. A tight in- field defense was credited with seventeen assists, wlulc Walton ' s two-run double in the seventh inning pro- vided the winning margin. Ursinus overcame a three- run Haverford lead on walks and errors to win a i-4 decision in the ninth. After losing in the pouring rain to St. Joseph ' s, 14-2, the Randallmen used Brad- ley ' s brilliant relief chucking and Eidenberg ' s bases- loaded triple to stop PMC, 6-5. Center fielder Pete Clavel, the only other loss to graduation besides Wal- ton, contributed a two-run double earlier in the contest. Delaware and St. Joseph ' s smeared the nine by 19-3 and 12-2 scores, primarily on the strength of the big inning. The only bright spots for the losers were the -â–  lugging of right-fielder Paul Rodewald and the field- ing of shortstop Pierce Pelouze. The impotent Fords were held to si. bingles, four ofl the bat of Clavel, as Swarthmore won the Hood Trophy game, 10-5. The visitors scored nine times in the third and fourth in- nings on wildness and errors, and only the steady relief work of Stew Duff and Tom Medsger pre- vented a complete rout. Aside from the 18-2 Temple fiasco, the squad looked sharp in the last three contests. Bradley went 8 1 3 innings before weakening as Ursinus fell, 5-4, on the hitting of David and Rodewald. Medsger and Shivers were blasted for ail the Temple runs in six innings, but the Fords were guilty of nine miscues in the field. A lJ-2 romp over Rutgers (SJ) saw Haverford tally- ing at will as Bradley registered his third triumph of the campaign. I! J ' â–  -••■§■ â–  ••■ ' mcmm. naataa S!!ss::!MS:::s:!!!fi§8f89illl TRACK In H httting conclusion to the great career of coach Pop Haddleton, the 195 7 trackmen compiled a record of 4-2 for the spring, meeting defeat only at the hands of powerful Lehigh and Lafayette squads. In the season ' s opener, the Fords trampled Ursmus on the losers ' s track, amassing seven firsts and ten seconds in the fourteen events. Mac Goggin and captain-elect Chet Berlin dominated the dashes, garnering 19 points between them. Sandy Phillips contributed a win m the two-mile run, while Eric Harrison led the weight- men w ' ith eight tallies in the shotput and javelin. Berlin ' s victory in the 220 was the only running event triumph as Lafayette pounded the cindermen, 79-47. Skip Ralph, Harrison, and Jim. Katowitz cap- tured firsts ill the shotput, javelm, and discus re- spectively. Tom VanArkel came within an eyelash of the Haverford high jump record by clearing 6 ' 2 . Berlin also paced the most decisive victory of the sea- son, a 90-36 rout of PMC, with eleven points. Goggin, Jim Morris, Earl Smith, Hugh Ogden, and Werner Muller all sparkled in the running, and the field events were a pushover, as Andy Green contributed five in the pole vault. Lehigh was too strong, as Coach Haddleton ' s team lost a 78-48 decision. Ogden turned in a winning 16.1 seconds time in the 120-yard high hurdles, while Ber- lin, also victorious, was clocked at 25.7 in the 220- -ard lows. Again the Fords showed their strength in the field events. Green and VanArkcl won their con- tests and Ralph and M.irk R.indall took firsts in the discus and shotput respectively. Swarthmore became an easy victim for the thinclads, S5J 2-40J 2; Haver- ford captured eleven out of a possible fourteen blue ribbons. Berlin was high-scorer with eleven points, while Larr ' Forman placed in four events. Goggin and Berlin led sweeps in the dashes, and Ogden won the low hurdles race, while Gerry Gunster and Morris were triumphant in the middle distance runs. High- lighted by Green ' s 11 ' 6 pole vault, m which Jay Mohr also placed, a broad jump victtjry by Katowit;, and weight victories by Harrison and Randall, the field crew had little sweat. In the last meet of the spring, the cindermen won easily over Albright and Gettysburg, again primarily on the strength of the field men. VanArkel, Green, and Forman dominated the jumping events, each gain- ing five points for the victors. Ralph was the big scorer, winning the shotput and the javelin. In the running events, Forman took a first in the 440-yard dash, Phillips crossed the finish line far ahead of the pack in the two-mile, and Berlin and Goggin gained valuable points in the sprints. Under coach Joe Miller, the 1958 Fords have al- ready participated in two meets, both indoor affairs in the Haverford field house. After nearly a month of concentrated practice, the squad defeated Delaware handily and suffered an expected setback to Penn. The only loss to graduation was Captain Don Hop- kins, who did little running last spring due to pulled leg muscles. Welcome additions include freshmen Chris Kimmich in the 440 and mile relay, Brandon James and Pete Jernquist in the long distance runs, John Gould in the high jump, and Fred Swan in the pole vault. GOLF Although the IVi? golfers were unimpressive, they did sueeeed in stopping Swarthmore, thereby gaining a Hood Trophy tie for Haverford. Under the eoaeh- ing of Bill Dochcrty and the leadership of Jaek Smith, the linksmcn eompiled a season slate of 4-7, all the losses eoming in sueeession during mid-spring. Marty Teem, playing at the number one position, finished with a sensational 78.9 average against tough competition. Teem, captain Smith, and Bob Shults, all carding under 85, carried the Fords to 17-1 and 1 1-7 triumphs over Temple and West Chester, respectively. But then the roof caved in, as the competition from the larger schools proved too difficult. Penn, Villa- nova, and Lehigh won in romps, while the golfers were able to make at least tJ 2 points against St. Jos- eph ' s, Moravian, Delaware, and Lafayette. Showing definite improvement during these matches were Laurie Lutherer, Fred Sec, Frank Lym.in, and Steve Shapiro, all of whom bettered ninety. After whipping Drexel, 11-7, to put the skids on their losing skein, the golfers avenged last year ' s loss by trimming Swarthmore ' s squad, 10-8, in a thrill- packed match on the Merion Course. Smith and Teem swept their opponents, winning both nines and adding a third point each by virtue of their 18-hole totals. Shult; contributed two, and Lyman squeezed out a second nine victory tor one more. But Shapiro ' s bril- liant ,i9 on the back nine provided the narrow margin which won the match for Haverford. Fijtysix t H —■wn SAILING AND CRICKET Led hy Ralph Sanson and Mike Donham, the saiL ing team performed well in regatta eompetition last spring. With little opportunity for practice, the Fords lost, 5-L to Princeton and slipped to a miserable eighth in the Navy spring Invitational despite Nat Wing ' s 49 points. On the home waters of the Cooper River, they regained stride to take second in a pen- tagonal. Donham was the second high-point skipper as the improved team placed third in the Middle Atlantic Eliminations, with Rick Hill, Jim Bucy, and Joel Tobias sailing as crew for skippers Donham, Wing, and Sanson. The winning streak which the Haverford cricketeers, under the direction of Coach George Coelho. hoped to extend into its third season was snapped by Prince- ton. The team concluded with a mediocre 3-3-2 mark. Fine stands hy Captain Dick Wagner and John Har- kins prevented early losses to Textile and General Electric. After the 91-29 Princeton drubbing, Hav- erford rebounded, with Don Scarborough, Harry Thomas, and Binney Haviland spearheading a 75-54 win over Harvard. Losses to Howard and the Alumni were sandwiched around another victory over Textile, 63-58. The British Commonwealth Cricket Club bowed in the spring finale, 48-29. GLEE CLUB Dynamic, unpredictable, at times a despot, hut for- ever benevolent and good natured, William H. Reese takes the podium for his 1 1th year as director of the Haverford College Glee Club. The Glee Club, long the largest organization on campus, owes much of its success to the relentless striv ' ings of this man whose mannerisms root the unsuspect- ing freshman to his seat while seniors chuckle inwardly from the back row. Rehearsals, although exacting in their requirements, are unique experiences in themselves as Wild Bill passes from moments of stern and serious criticism to pointed humorisms which send the club into uncon- trollable laughter. Yet whether Bill Reese be stomp- ing his feet on the Union Auditorium floor for a dra- matic emphasis in timing, or reducing a certain num- ber to nothingness, he is constantly striving to obtain the ultimate in musical expression from his hetero- geneous material. It is his remarkable talent for pro- ducing music of a quality which exceeds our potentials that bring to him the admiration and great respect that he commands. No picture of the Haverford Glee Club is complete without a knowledge of this man. Counterbalancing our director ' s artistic talents are the group of ten ' students whose role it is to handle the administrative duties of the club. Budget proceedings, concert preparations, publicity, staging and production, are but a few of the many activities which this group is responsible for and which result in the final material- ization of a concert. This year ' s concert schedule has been both interest- ing and rewarding as it has offered a wide variety of musical collaboration. Starting in November, the club had the unprecedented opportunity to sing with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. On this notable occasion at the Academy of Music, the group, together with Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore, sang Bach ' s Cantata No. 50, Nun ist das Heil. Not only was this a first in Glee Club history with regard to Or- mandy and the Orchestra, but it also marked the initi.il performance of the Three College Chorus. This cooperative effort produces an ensemble of over 300 voices and was repeated again with great suc- cess in February at the Three College Chorus Festival held at Swarthmore. At this time, the Chorus and the Swarthmore orchestra performed Igor Stravinsky ' s Symphony of Psalms, one of the most dramatic and moving numbers of the season. The 7 ews lauded the concert as . . . producing a level of choral singing comparable to that of almost any amateur organi-ation in this coinitry . . . The Haverford Glee Club appeared professionally twice during the year. Once in December at a benefit for the Downingtown Friends School, and again in March as Saturday evening entertainment at the West- town Friends School. At these concerts, the club per- formed by itself without the usual aid of women ' s voices or orchestra. The music for these performances for the most part consisted of light, short numbers, spirituals and folksongs. On both occasions the club provided for the entire evening ' s program, an exacting but highly satisfying experience. March vi-as a busy month as sixty members journeyed to Northampton, Massachusetts to join the Smith Col- lege Choir for two pcrform.mces ot Bach ' s Jesu Meine Freude and four motets by Poulenc. The trip was a highlight in the year offering a refreshing change of scenery with a weekend of social and musical enter- tainment. Having returned from New England, a small group together with a portion of the Bryn Mawr Chorus held a joint concert in Washington for the Havcrtord and Br ' n Mawr alumni. In April, Hollins College from Virginia invaded the campus with their southern charm. This was the only concert performed on campus this year, aside from the customary Christmas programs. The eminent work at this performance was the beautiful Niinie by f •% % % J A ft FRESHMAN GLEE CLUB Brahms. Later in the month the Glee Cluh eoncluded Its activities for the year, singing again with Smith College at St. Thomas ' Church in New York City. The Freshman Glee Cluh, now m its second year is proving a valuable addition to the Glee Club organi- zation. Its primary ' purpose is to tram voices for the upper-class club and to provide an opportunity for the unusually large number of freshmen Glee Clubbers to be active participants in a musical organization. Dur- ing the first semester, they have their own separate concert schedule and this year sang locally with Spring- side School and The Shipley School. The highlight of their efforts was the weekend trip to Wilson Col- lege in December. As is the custom in the second semester, the freshmen club is amalgamated into the upper-class organization. The Haverford Octet, composed of some of the more select voices in the club sings together for their own enjoyment and to develop a unique type of musical expression possible with a group of this size. Their activities consist of entertaining at campus dances and at times, traveling to women ' s colleges. In addition to their own functions this year, the Octet has performed m several Glee Club concerts as well as singing in- formally at post concert activities. On a campus which is so heavily characterized by individualism, we may point with pride to the unity that IS manifested in Glee Club achievements. Here IS perhaps a key reason for the Glee Club ' s popularity at Haverford. In our world of critical analysis, self- examination and study, it is a refreshing experience for a few hours each week to be part of this continuity. STUDENT OFFICERS, 1957-58 James L.

IS owned and operated b_v the Students ' Aisoexatwn of Haverford College, and broadcasts on a frequency of six hundred iiinetv loc cles. Try and find us. During the academic year of 1957-58 most of the Hsteners who tried to find WHRC succeeded, thanks to much improvement of the station, both technically and in programming. What is the purpose of a non-commercial college radio station like WHRC? Like any radio station, its first job is to provide programs which its potential lis- teners will want to hear. And since WHRC is a col- lege station, its second purpose is to give its staff mem- bers practice in radio techniques. In order to accomplish the first aim, the Haverford radio station has programmed music and general in- terest shows suited to the high level tastes of the Haver- fordian: classical music two hours nightly; mood music for late night studying; a half -hour of jazz each night; The T eu; Tor Times news, via WQXR and WFLN; and special events, including interviews with prominent persons visiting the campus. Drama and poetry readings were featured, and, thanks to exclusive direct lines to the Field House and Walton Field. sporting events were broadcast (in competition with those urging personal attendance at the games). The result of this carefully constructed program schedule was more student interest than WHRC has enjoyed in several years. The second purpose of the Haverford radio station is to give its staff practical experience in the mediu m of radio communication. The studios of WHRC provide an excellent training ground, being exceptionally effi- cient and well equipped for a noncommercial radio station. No well organized training program has been m effect at WHRC for several years, but despite this deficiency, WHRC experience has produced compe- tent radio men. Each autumn ten or twelve green freshmen find WHRC and by the following June several have achieved real stature as engineers or an- nouncers. Of this year ' s freshmen. Chuck Reid started on his way to becoming a fine announcer and engineer; MiKe Weil did the easiest easy listening program heard by Haverford students in many years; the Pete Jern- quist-Jon Mandell rock ' n roll shows demonstrated that Haverford radio was following popular trends. From the class of ' 60 Bob Iserman rose to a posi- tion of prominence, due to his fine sense of production, excellent job of announcing, and ability to train in- experienced staff members. Pete Arnow and Phil Ger- dine were the business backbone of the station, and Greg Russell has provided many hours of easy listen- ing as well as fine engineering. Werner MuUer and Glenn McCurdy have convulsed the Haverford audi- ence with their original McMuller show, while Jon Smith ' s Furlined Teacup with its beat poetry and dissonant modern music, became an education for Hav- erford scientists. The class of 59 gave WHRC both its station man- agers. Dan Clemson managed the station during the first semester, and continued through the second semes- ter as technical director, working long hours on the host as technical difficulties which constantly harass the station. Bill Taylor, production manager during the first semester, managed the station during the sec- ond and was a regular Friday night announcing voice throughout the year. WHRC suffered from a lack of seniors this year, having only one. Eric Schoonover did the work of many men, serving as Great Music director during the first semester, as well as producing an irregular late-at-night show entitled Fragments of Sound. Eric ' s professional standards in both engineering and an- nouncing served as an example to other staff members. Sixtyone DRAMA CLUB The oif-Broadway movement hit the Haverford- Bryn Mawr campuses during the 1957-58 season. Al- though there was only one official production, The Beggar ' s Opera, first semester, there were two suc- cessful independent experiments which helped make this year one of the most theatrically active in recent memory. The Bald Primadonna, a zany farce of incredible dialogue by Eugene lonesco, was given in November at the Skinner Workshop. Translated and directed by Harvey Phillips, and starring, among others, such well known Haverford thespians as John Ko rper, Charles Knight, and David Morgan. Those that saw the comedy laughed loudly at the skillfully precise nonsense, most agreeing to its originality, and only a few annoyed at not knowing whether the work was about anything in particular. Robert Butman, the Drama Club s director, opened his season with an ambitious, vigorous, and delightful mounting of John Gay ' s eighteenth century The Beg- gar ' s Opera. It was the first musical done in Roberts Hall for many years, and although the musical element was Its weakest point, this was an exciting and com- mendable undertaking for the limited resources of the two colleges. Outstanding among the Haverford play- ers were baritone Jim Katowitz as a full-voiced Mac- Heath and Richard Kelly in one of the important char- acter parts. The acting highlights of the two even- ings were supplied by Ken Geist in the small role of the player and by Don Knight, a freshman, who clowned always as the jailer, Lockit. Enthusiasm and good spirits reigned supreme in The Beggar ' s Opera, even if polish did not. More time for rehearsal would have been advisable, even if not pos- sible, and certainly what was needed more than any- thing was closer cooperation between the dramatic and musical forces. A good time was had by all best de- scribes the impression the production made. Sixty-two i m ..M Waiting for Godot came in December for a stun- ning one evening stand of a difficult and important play. Ken Geist directed the Samuel Beckett drama, and his work deserved many superlatives, not only in matter accomplished but in energy expended. He was fortunate in having an unusual cast made up of two faculty members, drama director Butman and English professor Ken Woodroofe as the two very human bums, Didi and Estragon. Gerald Cioodman, Haver- ford ' 56, played the torturing and tortured Pozso and Harvey Phillips the brutalized knook, Lucky. Godot was the source of much campus discussion, both about the signiiicance of the play and the quality of production. Bill Bertolet ' s suggestive setting was simple and fully realized, the lighting effects of a professional calibre. Just as The Bald Primadonna was hailed as ' mieux qu ' a Paris, Godot was said by many to have been far superior in execution and faithfulness to the author ' s intent that it had been in New York. It found its echo in the Senior Class Night production. In Febraury, E. B. White ' s reign as Drama Club president and cast party coordinator came to an end and Dave Morgan mounted the throne. The reading committee then set about to choose a March play for Goodhart and a vehicle for Spring Day here at Hav- erford. The Dark, is Light Enough, Christopher Fry ' s winter comedy-drama, seemed to be the best choice for the former, although the two organizations received rather pointed criticism tor the selection from the Bryn Mawr College 7 ' ews. This was principally because of the feeling that the clubs were devoting too much to one type of drama — the modern intellectual British comedy. It is true that in the past three years the official local stage, with the exception of The Trojan ' Women, produced in Spring of 1956, has produced only fine English works. The policy can be easily defended on many grounds: the literary calibre of the works, their suit- ability for the undergraduate acting talents, the type of hall available for performance (Goodhart demands the grand manner). But many now hope that with the experimental vein established at Haverford-Br ' n Mawr, the future will bring a widening in the scope of selection and perhaps some controversial creations, even interesting failures (in Broadway producer and collection speaker Harol d Clurman ' s positive use of the word) to the Goodhart and Roberts stages. Spring brings Shakespeare, this time The Comedy of Errors. Plans at the moment call for a production that will bring to the stage the serious action in the play to balance the hardy humor which uusually dominates. Wl II If. .• CLASS NIGHT There has not been another Class Night show as interesting as this year ' s prise-winning sophomore pre- sentation in the past four years. The Class of 60 show had all the prerequisties of victory in the competition : it had a simple, fast-moving plot (with a beginning, a middle, and an end) and detailed and imaginative direction; and it was produced with color and spirit. It provided Haverford with an opportunity to see itself .md laugh at itself. From the beginning, in the president ' s office, to the end, a collection speech (given by a scholar friend of the president), the action and characters of the play had quite particular references: their sum was a cari- cature of the promient members of the Haverford community — caricatures created with a smile rather than a sneer. Greg Alexander played the central character. Presi- dent Borton, with a magnificent flair and was rewarded with the Best Actor award. Dudley Summers parodied a pedant with a heavy Teutonic accent as the collec- tion speaker, and the rest of the many characters also did superb jobs. Summers and Browny Speer wrote the script, which was flexible enough to allow the actors to form their own colorful images, while Truman Bul- lard ' s direction was outstanding. The freshman show, Search for the Haverford Man, had an excellent idea but too much super- structure. A silent observer received a phone call for Jarvis and went from room to room looking for liim. The observer looked for Jarvis in three rooms. In the first, he found a group of monied students engaging in a cocktail party, discussing golf and sports cars. In the second room were Bohemian intellectuals grop- ing for a definition of existence and finally exalting suffering. In the third, he found a number of rock ' n ' rollers portraying the revolt of the younger generation and the search for excitement of the cool school. Jarvis turned out to be all things to all people — never m the particular room but intimately familiar to all members of the three sets. The freshman show, as usual, was enthusiastically presented; it had 11 writers and at least 20 players, all of whom (except a hilarious maid) were con- stantly on stage. The junior class production was placed in days of yore when olde England ' s folk lived happy in the glades. But the hero, Robin Hood (Mickey Kaback), Sixty-four was unable to be happy because he could not take an aggressive role with either Maid Marion (Larry Maud) or his lusty band. After a rousing operatic quintet with Little John (Jim Katowitz), the king (Joe Mamana), the sheriff (Fred Shaw), and Marion, Robin gave in to the prospect of ordinary domestic life. A beggar (Phil Miller) appeared and made a plea that Robin not forsake outlawry. Robin thereupon made his first decision by taking the beggar ' s advice to heart, killing the king, and rejecting Marion. The show ended in a rousing chorus hailing Robin as the leader of the band. Tim Sheldon and E. B. White wrote the show, whose entertainment value was not realized as it might have been since it followed the high-powered sophomore show. The senior show was extremely hard to interpret and evaluate. Written in the baffling style of Waiting for Godot, it was a satire on Godot, various campus figures (particularly the president), the Haverford animal, and the ideal Friend. But since the show fol- lowed the Drama Club production of Godot, it was impossible not to interpret the show in positive terms in the light of Samuel Beckett ' s baffling play. Eric Koskoff and Jay Mohr played the tramps, who stated that there is no longer any demand for poets, martyrs, saints. Ed Bradley, Chuck Adams, and Pete Hunt rounded out the cast, and Steve SarnofF and Hank Dane played the two nights as the director. Dane, Frank Conroy, and Mike Roloff wrote the clever, fast moving, and deliberately disjointed script. Hugh Borton personally starred in the faculty show, delighting the audiences with his portrayal of Chris- tijpher Cat. As a student at Haverford, Christopher was told he had to ma jor in arts and services, though he vehemently insisted that his principal interest was in finding the meaning of Cat in the universe. Vari- ous faculty members lectured the recalcitrant student, who alternately lauded and bemoaned their academic professions as he pranced about the stage in a most unpresidential manner. Finally the administration de- cided that Christopher should go through Haverford again — as president — to relearn the liberal arts. Edgar Rose, assistant professor of English, wrote the script in whimsical verse that blanked out toward the end. Sixtyfive THE NEWS This year the Haverjord J ews was blessed with edi- tors who hehevcd that making the front page conform superficially to that of The } [ew Tor Times automat- ically made the Haverford journal a good paper. The T ews was also blessed with a sports staff who be- lieved that think pieces written at 3 a.m., on dead- line day were more interesting than I-was-there ac- counts of athletic contests. Supporting these blessings were many effusions from alumni who regularly pro- tested that The Jslews should not question the sanctity of such divinely ordained institutions as fraternities and field houses. Adding to the picture was a smiling group of typesetters who valued the editors ' sanity slightly below the $300 an issue printing costs. Coordinating all groups for three semesters was John Adams, who struggled valiantly to publish an issue which would satisfy student demands for a mili- tant journal, administration weariness of yellow jour- nalism and alumni misgivings of the entire venture. Despite all obstacles, a certain coherence was evi- dent in editorial policy: the editors ever held before them the shining ideal of remaking Haverford into an American Oxford and measured every administration move, student indiscretion, and alumni reaction against this ideal. Thus policy decreed that the field house be damned as a waste of money, a stringent admis- sions policy proposed, the present size of the student body championed, and fraternity existence deplored. In addition, policy decreed that editorial fingers be wagged at sophomore honor system violators and the anonymous editor of a Main Line weekly who re- peatedly impugned both Haverford ' s new president and the traditional college virtues. To the already existing balanced front page and tight headlines was added a new banner in the fall of ' 57. The ancient Quaker who had smiled on gen- erations of Haverfordians from the top of page one was replaced by a startlingly simple banner in sans serif type. Further, the alumni column, always a source of enjoyment to student readers, was relegated to the back page, thereby freeing additional feature page space for the denouncement of fraternities. The center of l [ews activity shifted from the Union to editors Adams and Wollstadt ' s uh Entry room, a change necessitated by the absence of usable type- writers and a supply of paper in the traditional loca- tion. The J lews was never quite able to raise funds for typewriter ribbons, but the paper shortage was neatly solved by typing articles on the backs of dis- carded Aldo Caselli opera announcements salvaged from the Union wastebasket. Assisting Adams in producing The Jslews were Roger Wollstadt, who celebrated his elevation to an associate editorship by fleeing to Washington for a semester; Browny Spcer, who perennially preserved all the pearls from Collection speakers; and Tenney Peck, who patiently waited until The J ews apple tell into his lap. The sports page was captained b ' Hermann I ' l.itl and Mac Goggin, with Jon Weil replacing Piatt in the 9th. The sports articles abounded with the writers personal opinions (all favorable to the athletic depart- ment) and a freedom of literary style longed for by English 11-12 tutors. The paper ' s solvency was main- tained by Ed Thorpe, who also saw to it that the alumni received their copies on schedule. At midyear Tenney Peck was advanced to the editorship. He promptly purchased a ream of paper, spliced the typewriter ribbons, and reopened the ls[ews room. Former editors Adams and Wollstadt (now contributing editors, contributing gratuitous advice) retreated threateningly, determined to retackle the problem of virtue in the graduation issue. -t rfC TfC -fC TfS {The foUounna is a letter which, jor reasons oj space, was never printed m The News — Ed.) To the Editor: I know you are doing a job, and I don ' t want to interfere but I really feel that complaining in the editorials should be stopped.

But they met this chal- lenge with enthusiasm, innovations, and hard work under the direction of Tom Medsger to present one of the best Customs programs in recent years. Taking into account previous suggestions, this fall ' s group emphasi::ed the student-faculty relationship with several informal gatherings, and introduced the ad- ministration. Students ' Council, honor system, extra- curricular activities, and Fifth Day Friends Meeting in a thorough manner. Even the Bryn Mawr mixer was a successful affair. Fortunately, the danger of the pond and water lights were avoided, but, on the other hand, the trend toward hat stealing presented new problems. The dull monotony of the program ' s necessary fea- tures could not be eliminated; psychological exams, voice tests, athletic registration, schedule planning, and library tours were inevitable. But these lonely hours were hvened by bull sessions in Barclay, Philadelphia trips, informal soccer and football games, and singing of college songs. Perhaps the program ' s greatest apparent weakness, its lack of strict enforcement, may paradoxically be considered its major accomplishment. The freshmen soon learned to ignore demands that they appear with caps and buttons at all times. This realization may only serve to indicate that the Rhinies were swiftly adopting those particular attitudes of individuality which are uniquely Haverford ' s. In its second year as a council-organized committee, the Social Committee was responsible for several record dances held after the home football games. The Beg- gar ' s Ofierd, and other events, as well as dances that stood on their own. At the beginning of the year the Ivman commit- tee had plans for a varied and energetic program. Due to lack of interest and funds, these ambitious plans found expression in the above mentioned record dances, the chief virtue of which was lack of expense. The cost of hiring entertainment, whether an entertainer or small band required an admission charge which, from past experience with poor attendance, would spell failure. A typical case was the dance after the Swarth- more basketball victory, which was unsuccessful even with a nominal charge. As far as number of events sponsored, this year ' s committee was an improvement over its predecessor, but still did not realize the end for which it was in- stituted. The one big obstacle facing the group was the problem of participation. Faced with previous poor attendance, it was necessary to find the cause and then a remedy. The problem was never solved, and therefore the record dances wre few. The committee ' s one claim to fame will be the Tri-CoUege Dance, to be held jointly with Swarth- more and Bryn Mawr in the field house. The idea originated with last year ' s committee, and will be the biggest and most energetic social function Haverford has yet attempted. Tommy Dorsey ' s band will pro- vide the music. If this dance is successful, the Social Committee can be regarded as a success. Under the leadership of Lauro Halstead, the Honor System Committee undertook two projects, the intro- duction of the honor system to freshmen and a com- plete examination of the honor system. Although the introduction to freshmen has always been the com- mittee ' s main concern, this year ' s committee felt that increased attention and energy should be given to this important function. Accordingly, it sent each fresh- man a bluebook during the summer. On arrival of the Rhinies at Haverford the committee introduced them to the system further with a general meeting at which the chairman presented the honor system, and en- larged upon various interpretations. Following this meeting, smaller discussions were formed in order to discuss the honor system upon a more intensive and personal basis. The method of signing the pledge was altered; in place of the usual mass meeting, a committee member contacted each freshman individ- u.dly, discussed any questions with him, and then had the student sign the honor pledge. It was felt that this type of introduction was more thorough and more personal than that of previous years. The second project of the committee involved a com- plete examination of the honor system in order that some vague areas might be more clearly defined. The committee suggested that the admissions office inform each successful applicant of the necessity of his ac- cepting the honor system while at Haverford. The sug- gestion was accepted, and this will be done in letter of acceptance to the student. The committee, recog- nizing the individual faculty member ' s right to set his own standards, undertook a survey of the ma- jority of faculty members to ascertain their complaints, comments, and suggestions for defining more specifi- cally in the bluebook the standards expected of the student. On the basis of these suggestions, changes were made in the bluebook regarding academic stand- ards. S:xty-eig u DEBATING SOCIETY FOUNDERS CLUB Sixt -nine ARTS AND CRAFTS INTER- CLUB Sevent THE REVUE .4 THE RECORD Seventy-one CHESS TRIANGLE Seventy-two CLUBS A favorite sociological figure, the marijinal man, is a fellow with one foot on the shore and the other in a rowboat about to slip away from the dock, unable to decide where to go. Like the poor indecisive fel- low, Haverford ' s problem children in the extracurricu- lar realm, the departmental clubs, often wind up soak- ing wet and rather dejected. The problem seems to be that no one really knows their functions: as an extracurricular activity, they are supposed to provide constructive entertainment for the book-weary student, and yet their subject matter stays necessarily rather close to the academic realm. Not all the departments have taken up this rather frustrating task of bringing serious studies to life in an informal setting, but those which have, have come up with a respectful variety of programs. A favorite way of meetmg the challenge — though r ither unoriginal — has been a sprinkling of outside lecturers typical of the Philosophy Club, this year led by Richard Kelly. Though the list of visiting speakers has been impressive — including a famous existentialist and Henry Veatch who spent the entire semester with us — one doubts if the club members have developed any real group feeling, as would happen in an informal gathering of embryo philosophers dissecting a topic while sipping bitter tea on the side. Just the same, the Philosophy Club has promoted a lively interest in a broader range of opinions than could be found among the departmental faculty. The Psychology Club — with Lanny Montgomery and Jan Riegl at the helm — has undertaken a somewhat broader attack on dusting the cobwebs from the texts. First, its founders have thought of a broader audience, as the club ' s constitution points out: The . . . club was formed ... to introduce students not in the field of psychology to what should be both interesting and valuable concepts. Accordingly the club has taken the opportunity to sponsor campus-wide lectures by such psychological greats as Wolfgang Kohler, B. F. Skinner, Erich Fromm, and Jerome Bruner. Moti- vated perhaps by the intrinsically fascinating possi- bilities of the subject, the club members embarked on other imaginative projects: a seminar on possible uses of extra-sensor ' perception, films, field trips, presen- tations of student papers for criticism. Like other clubs, the psychologists have found it difficult to carr ' out their program fully, but they did manage a highly successful trip to the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Maryland, which provided hours of entertaining anecdotes about chimps who can read and kids so wild that a special tough house with un- breakable furniture had to be built for them. Perhaps the most solid-looking approach has been taken by the language clubs, the French and the Span- ish, the former headed by Nikita Lary and the latter by Senor Asensio. The French Club, however, has often found itself on sandy foundations. Organized around its seemingly sturdy pillar of the French House, the club has time after time felt it crumble helplessly, leaving its leaders stranded on the sand of indifference even within the home fort. Always rather richly supplied with props Hke fancy records and machines to play them on, and sorely pushed by the faculty to produce , the club has made but little headway because it failed to promote the one activity to which a cercle frangais is best suited: frequent informal get- togethers where the language can be tried out in a permissive setting without impediments of formality. Profiting perhaps from the mistaken formality of the French Club, the Spanish students have organized their own casual circle within the traditional walls of Williams House. Throughout its years of quiet ex- istence, the Spanish Club has tried to make the most of the congenial quarters and the even more congenial resident and his wife, Senor and Senora Asensio. Meet- ing weekly without the fanfare of dining room Grand- Central-style announcements, the house residents enjoy an hour ' s chat over coffee and ice cream in the Asensios ' sitting room, or an occasional party with Spanish (or non-Spanish) speaking dates. Finally, quite apart from these rather modest ac- tivities, the Chemistry Club has forged probably the most professional answer: Under the leadership of Chet Berlin, it has succeeded in presenting some of their best individual research efforts at local and na- tional conventions of student chemists. We find in- deed a far-reaching change from the tea-and-cookies meetings of Dr. Meldrum ' s days! But one wonders about the identity of the group as such, and misses a speaker and an informal discussion from time to time. The task is difiicult and the answers appropriately varied, but all the departmental Cinderellas seem to share a common purpose : to tie studies more firmly to life, to provide a common meeting ground for students and faculty, to make the community aware of the vividness of each branch of learning. It would help if the college community recognized the struggling groups more fully for what they are trj ' ing to do, not only for their present shortcomings. Seventy-three THE FRATERNITY QUESTION This was the year of the great revelation — that fra- ternities (or societies, as they prefer to call themselves) existed at Haverford and that all of the administration plus much of the board of managers belonged to these groups. The secret societies. Beta Rho Sigma and Triangle, became no longer secret to the undergradu- ates and the few non-member alumni who had never heard of the societies through rumors or more direct means while at college. However, their status was not changed, or even clearly defined, and it is even possible, given a sufficient number of years, that they could lapse into secrecy again. The controversy was initiated on 18 October when The T lews printed an open letter signed by 39 students to President Borton, asking for the facts about the so- cieties and the administration ' s attitude toward them. In answer to the petition, the administration devoted a Collection to explaining the facts about the societies. Borton, inaugurated only 10 days previous, was deluged by a cascade of questions. In the lively and sometimes frenzied discussion, more questions were raised than were answered. About the only thing that everyone agreed on was that the societies should not remain secret. A second Collection was scheduled to give the societies a chance to answer and student passions time to recede. On 12 November, letters from the two fraternity presidents were read and an expression of student opinion was taken in Collection. The vote was in- decisive. The fraternities claimed vindication, but the ballot provided opportunities for qualifications that negated clear expression of opinion. The original ex- pression of student discontent was scattered in the vote — a student could vote for the societies with the qualifications (e.g., ehmination of blackballing) anti- thetical to the societies practices. In short, the vote settled nothing. The debate continued in the pages of The Tsjeics. Letters, pro and con, became a new center of interest in The TsJeu ' S. Arguments for the societies were based on the social value of maintaining old friendships, the gifts that the societies had made to the college and the interest in the college that the societies fostered among their members. The societies were termed harmless clubs which maintained close contacts with the college through the small group of undergraduate members. They were said to strengthen the Alumni Association through the ver ' active participation of their members. Against the societies there were diverse arguments. Students decried the fact that although the college catalog asserted that there were no fraternities at Hav- erford, the college countenanced the existence of Beta Rho and Triangle. A high school student planning on coming to Haverford would not learn about these so- cieties until he was a freshman here. The societies were attacked because they were ex- clusive and as such tended to divide both the student body and the Alumni Association. In a college en- couraging individuality as well as the one large fam- ily idea, it w as considered harmful to have two small exclusive groups on campus. In the Alumni Associa- tion it was a question of loyalty. Were you first a member of Beta Rho or a member of the Alumni As- sociation? Did you devote your energy to Triangle or to the Alumni Association, or did you do both? Lurking in the background was the feeling that the societies exercised alumni influence disproportionate to their size and to the exclusion of non-member alumni. Involved in the controversy were also the matters of blackballing and discrimination; it was strongly asserted that these practices were incompatible with Quaker ideals. Equally serious was the resentment which the uncovering of the secret societies aroused among a few students who vowed that they would not give a dime to a college which harbored such fraternities. For- tunately the majority of students preserved love of the college or easy apathy above the considerations involved in the fraternity question. The controversy was handled with decorum. Per- haps a reason for the lack of prolonged loud enthusi- asm on the part of the students was that the contro- versy was handled with kid gloves by the administra- tion and the societies. The administration never took a definite stand on the societies. The societies them- selves appointed ad hoc committees to look into the matter — presumably to bury it. What had been a very live issue in the autumn was a very dead issue in the spring. Only in the class night shows was there a short revival of the fraternity question, when the secret handshake and the sign of the rectangle re- ceived a last laugh. Seventy-four : ' â–  !; : r-r. THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Class of 1961 can make at least one boast in the academic realm: it is the lirst freshman class within memory to have gotten along without the benefit of Soc. Sci. 11-12. Instead, it tackled the advanced sub- jects of political science, economics, sociology, and psy- chology. It is reputed to have been one of the most subdued freshman classes ever at Haverford. Item : it has consci- entiously avoided the usual freshman frivolities, such as $300 waterfights. Item: instead, it succeeded in blocking College Avenue for 1 8 hours and jamming the front door of Hilles with huge oak logs, at a cost in removal fees of slightly under $200. The rhinies did not have too much respect for the modern customs program. They doggedly evaded furniture moving contractors, donned and doffed rhinie hats and buttons as caprice moved them, and as- siduously avoided dunking in the duck pond. There were numerous minor tussles with fleet-footed sopho- more hat stealers, but by and large ' 61 engaged in a Friendly program of passive resistance and patiently tolerated the actions of exuberant sophs. The athletic segment of the class found itself confined to the In- firmary by an Asian plague at the time of the formal frosh-soph rivalry, so the cla,ss suffered formal defeat at the hands of ' 60. During freshman week they performed their one use- ful task — that of painting the metal bleachers on Wal- ton Field — getting as much paint in their own hair and on their classmates ' clothing as on the rusting grandstand. Their only other class activity was the torchlight parade culminating in the lighting of the Swarthmore Weekend bonfire, coupled with a more apathetic than usual attempt to draw upperclassmen to the victory rites. There was talk of sterili:;ing the ginko trees with those bla:;ing torches, but . . . Besides the normal customs program, the fresh- men were subjected to the usual long distance swim- ming test, to determine their physical potential, and the psych exams designed to determine their neurotic potential. And do they ever have potential! Seventy-six THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The sophomores struggled v;diantly to prove that they were not. In addition to the regular academic bloodletting at the end of the freshman year, the 10 percent of the class involved in an organised Honor System cheating ring the previous year were tossed beyond Lancaster Pike for varying periods of re- pentance. The academic casualties continued to mount at midyear. In the end, however, a smaller and more sobered sophomore class redeemed itself and astonished the College by producing a well directed Class Night spoof of Collection manners and administration man- nerisms. As expected, the sophomores deserted the good ship Barclay and scurred into vacant Lloyd suites, wel- come Founders and Yarnall singles, and inviting Scull House positions. And, despite a carefully cultivated veneer of disinterest, some members of the class did squeeze into positions of importanc in campus or- ganizations, between the hordes of ambitious, aspiring, but naive freshmen and the few juniors and seniors who exercised the real control of campus groups. Var- sity teams especially benefited from the superfluity of athletic talent in the class; the intramural titles in soccer and football were also earned by the Class of Y)0. The tradition of Rhinie pond-ducking died with the sophomores who quite sedately (and surprisingly) acquiesced in the perennial Customs Committee request not to do so. The spirit of rebellious nonconformity, said to exist but rarely seen beyond dirty T-shirt wear- ing, pipe smoking, and lusty swearing, made a more positive appearance among the sophs: twas reliably rumored that some members of the class were behind the ill-fated plot to grace the Inauguration Day fes- tivities with an elephant rented from the Philadelphia Zoo. In sum, however, 1957-58 was not entirely spent in ' inane activity, Bryn Mawr dorm badgering, and self- contemplation. Somehow, with these activities — or in spite of them — the sophomores, willingly or other- wise, were slowly changing into the relatively mature, thinking men (the catalog ' s boast) and were ready to scale their last two years with an inner calm born of the satisfaction that Deus nus aynat. Seventyseven THE lUNIOR CLASS Declaration of the Class of 19J9- We started out as freshmen with a promising fu- ture. We developed class spirit early, had our share of activities, and trounced our sophomores. Unfor- tunately, we also lost this spirit early, and, as a result, we reverted to a status of individuals with only a tenuous bond among our members. Following the lead of our predecessor class, we be- came apathetic to what has been going on around us. The fraternity question raised what seemed a very im- portant issue, but that soon subsided. Likewise, other matters have, for a matter of a few days or weeks, brought us together or positively divided us; but though the questions are still as pertinent as ever, we forgot about them quickly and returned to our usual mode of life. We, just as other classes, have our own feelings about life at college. Most of us despise meeting (which has served at least one useful function in that many of us arc now agnostics) . We have no great like for collection, the dining room service, or the maids. But we have few (if any) actual leaders to rouse us out of our lethargy into action. Indeed, there appear to be no indications that such leaders are forthcoming. As a class, we have pretty well avoided going to ex- tremes in any direction. Perhaps that is the reason why no leaders have developed among us. Or perhaps we are not mature enough to care. More likely, it is a combination of these factors, with the latter pre- dominant. If individualism means diversity in outlook on life, we fit the description perfectly. Some of us spend much of our free time at Tenth, and others devote the late hours to study. By devious methods we either forget serious problems or subordinate them. Eager for success, we strive hard. But we have lost sight of the most important factor in making success a reality, and that is willingness to act. This is our greatest failing. Yet we take comfort, for we are not alone. Seventy-eight â– t xf h f I J SkT • B -- n- DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE When the word got around this fall that there was a secret committee to examine student discipline I got scared. Me, a two-term resident of Scull with a bottle of scotch, a dirty T-shirt and the beginnings of a real smart beard. Oh there were a lot of wild ru- mors going around you know like they were going to take away the honor system (this was after some of my friends were caught pooling their resources for papers and exams) or even that they were going to make us meet the girls outside the dorms and all. But then I checked with one of the students council guys and he told me that the committee had no intention divorcing me from my individuality or even my girls but that It was concerned with the problems of human relationships and student conduct and I breathed easier again. The way I got it is that this committee met all fall and after making Mac chairman discussed the how of making student conduct better and everything. Oh they appointed a lot of subcommittees to draft parts of a statement on student conduct and these statements were rehashed and rewritten by other subcommittees and everybody thought a lot of work was being done. But it took a long time before the outline of a statement of what the college expected of the student in the way of conduct was drafted, questioned, redrafted, approved, reapproved, and all that, you know. It was told that the idea was to spring this state- ment on the students in a special meeting, you know the sort of run it up the flagpole and see if anybody salutes routine and I realised that something was up when Borton told us that the college was going to eliminate a Meeting (it would have to be really seri- ous for them to cut out one of them) for the students and have us gather in Roberts on a Thursday morning. Well you know the rest. We got copies of this statement as we walked into the meeting and then Mac started to read the thing in a half-apologetic man-- ner and we noticed that the statement looked pretty general (Mac said it was positive ) and we agreed that some sections of the report may have been stronger but they were still pretty darn vague. After Mac had finished reading he asked if there were any questions and some senior asked if the statement only codified the status quo in regard to discipline and everybody laughed and Mac got red and Borton helped him to answer the question and all that. Then we were all set to get out of there when one of the faculty members got up and said no that this was not a codification of the status quo that this was a positive statement and he was pretty sure that if we looked close we could see some positive improvements and he was right. It seems they decided to do away with fines as a way of punishing students and they put The Joint Committee on Dis- cipline: (around table, left to right) G. Brewster, J. Adams, D. McKelvey, J. Collett, A. Lemonick, C. Kunz, J. Craw- ford, D. Winter, S. Muller, W. Cadbury, A. Macintosh; (stand- ing) R. Hill, W. Docherty, J. Lester. (Absent: President Bor- ton) Eighty all the discipline power in Mac ' s hands and he ' s the father-confessor sort of guy that you can take your sex-life troubles to even so that ' s o.k. Well, like I say this is a positive approach all right and we were all surprised when the statement we got was printed in the next issue of the paper with some more words about this being a positive approach and even putting in the statement a sentence that the com- mittee said shouldn ' t have been there and then taking It out again only they printed it and I couldn ' t figure that out. But the paper also put in the names of all the guys on the committee and it kxjked like it had on It all the administration and some of these new smart faculty members as well as most of the student coun- cil and some other students who were really worried about the students ' conduct and all I was pretty happy that all these people had the chance to put across their positive program. In fact we were so happy that the positive program is now in operation that we held a party over in Scull to celebrate and we used almost all of my scotch and some guys won ' t pay for anything even when you let them come into your room and drink up what you have and I wish that some of them had taken to heart what that statement said about proper relations from student to student and maybe then they would have known that positive student conduct would have meant that they would at least offer to buy me a new bottle of the stuff. Oh yes my beard is now pretty full and the girls all like it and all and we ' re all pretty happy with the positive approach. PHILIPS VISITORS Contrary to rumor, there was a Philips Visitor pro- gram this year. For instance, important mathematicians came to Haverford, traded flexagons with Cletus Oak- ley and Robert Wisner, and departed; distinguished biologists ambled up to the Common Room to deliver lectures intelligible only to the biology faculty mem- bers: and patient Eliot Stellar from Penn unburdened himself of a full year ' s set of lecture notes to biologi- cally oriented psychology majors. Hovering in the background were several visitors to the new economics course on underdeveloped nations (some even bright - end up Collection) and a Congressional visit to the political science department. At deadline time, prep- arations were being made for S. Radhakrishnan, the philosopher vice-president of India, to bandy impres- sions of Philosophy East and West with Douglas Steere. In sum, however, there were few names this year, i.e., few visitors with the stature of Oppenheimer, Bohr, Kennan, or Fromm. This year ' s crop was depart- mentally oriented, rather than college oriented, and thus the impression created was one of nothing being done about the program when indeed much was done. The visitors invited were all soundly competent in their fields but uniformly uninteresting to the student body as a whole. Marvin Humphreys served as student chairman of the program. In theory, he was charged with seeing that visitors were supplied with student hosts and that Coop coffee hours featured students primed with questions for the great. But since there were few greats, and most arrangements were made by the individual departments concerned, there was little for Marv to do. Overall coordination for the program was lodged in a faculty committee headed by William Reitsel, who successfully utilized his talents as a diplomatist to choose among the most meritorious of visitor programs .â– submitted by science departments, approving expendi- tures, and reporting results. The J ews, at the beginning of the second term, again editorialized on the visitor situation and again concluded that this year ' s program was fine, fine, but that, gee, wouldn ' t it be grand if we had a similar one for the humanities.

Nice clean rug, nice modern furniture, nice record collection, and nice pictures on nice walls. But just poke your head in the door of the back bed- room and all the crusty refuse of scholarly living crawls before your eyes. Almost any evening of the week you can find a wide range of activity being carried on in the various rooms of the suite. Bob Cnst carries on his opera re- hearsal from the shower in a ringing falsetto that a vis- istor might mistake for Enrico Caruso. Emerging from the living room, Stew Duff ends a discussion t)n the merits of Judaism and or the South. In one of the bedrooms, Paul Rodewald sits at his desk in his pajamas and slipper socks, which he put on just after supper. One of his eyes rests on a photograph of his best friend, far away at the other end of the state, while his other eye scans the equation for the hydrogen atom which he hopes to master in time to support his bride. In the other bedroom (the dirty one) Don Winter, swelters under thick smoke and bright lights, planning an expedition he will take with John Flight to find the tomb of Moses. Sometimes when the going gets rough, all four con- gregate in one room for joint action. While deciding what to do, Paul and Stew warm up for the baseball season by playing Frisbie with Don, Haverford ' s mas- ter saucer man. Meanwhile, Bob reads a few appro- priate passages for favoite poems and plays, or discusses his other major interest, poets and playwrights. Occa- sionally, the joint action degnerates into an assult on the room across the hall, armed with water, tal- cum powder, and burning matches. More often than not, everyone just has another cigarette. Paul G. Rodewald Stewart M. Duff Eighty-six Kichard K. Schramm n Richard M. Hill Statement 0 t ie Vrohiem: The itinerant souls of 10? Leeds.

Y.x ( er menta Design: The subjects are four Amer- ican males between the ages of twenty and twenty-two. Four experimental conditions corresponding to the four personalities are the following: 1) Mike A. T. a T. Fogel constantly hears bells (wedding?) and is a protegee of Damon Runyon; 2) Thomas Nelson Baker, III, the true scientist of the four subjects, T. V. critic, card connoisseur and chief cook and bottle washer of the Chem Lab; 3) Rick, master of the playboy arts — skiing, sailing, horsebackriding — and dancing; A misplaced New Englander who is constant- ly embroiled in triangular affairs of various sorts; 4) Dick, addict to insomnia, tobacco and coffee, is often heard muttering about a sterile psychology department or forever predicting the completion of an ancient handmade Ford. Results: Mike demanded complete silence, dashed for the phone and shortly disappeared for Penn, nearly running over T who was hustling for the Chem Lab to calm Dr. Walter, who had just discovered that one of his students had the time to become an All American Foootball player, and still wash a satisfactory number of test tubes. Rick began wa.xing his skis con- templating a long weekend, as Dick stomped from the room disturbing the silence with incoherent mumblings of Coelho, Mayer, and Mayhem.

Ian Adams and Dave Lenfest are seen periodically in the Coop, or walking along mumbling nostalgicly about hunting expeditions in Maine or Michigan, sports cars, or the general rot which they see infecting their contemporaries. If one goes to lan ' s room he will be found tying a fishing rod, listening to Segovia, and uttering witti- cisms with Socratic brevity. Dave ' s lair is likely to be covered with M.G. parts and sundry people in a heated discussion of Thomas, Chaucer, GiufFre or some similarly worthy scribe or musician. Ian lived in Spanish house for four years, and major- ed in Spanish, whereas Dave moved off campus in his sophomore year, and majored in English by making limited dashes to class and the library. Ian intends to go into geology, and Dave to teach English. Some look with scepticism on their futures, but these gentlemen carry on, as ever. Eightyeight David Nowlis lx ' t;an his Haverford career in French house, experimented with Psychology, and is now well settled in the English department. Being captain of the cross country team has encouraged Dave ' s taste tor travel, and he has heen everywhere in the country from Florida to Washington. But his Mediterranean- (.

Impulsive imp — the top comes off on any occasion. Faculty foil but tolerant — with analytical ambitions. The years to come make strange bed-fellows. Talks best when doing two things at once or in full flight — fatiguing to watch. Sin- cerity and frivolity. George has majored in German at Haverford, and has been active in the French club. He is known for his social advice, and his social get-togethers wath what is suspected to be another fraternity. The chief faC ' totum having left last year, however, there is some suspicion that the members have dispanded. George, however, still reigns as an expert on the white tie. David P. Nowlis David W. Ellis George H. Ellison Eighty-nine Carl N. Kunz David J. Gibson These Barclayites have one thing in common — know- ing me! Conceit equal to theirs, helped me to get to know them. M. Bertolet, our almost French major, is kept mov- ing by the tension between the artistic and material worlds. He goes from the books to the boards, from Bio. and Chem. to B.M.C. ' s History of Art classes. The plays, operas, poster-making, set designing, and crash-program studying, mean that we see little of him. However, I trust that his future will be scene in spotlights. Bill ' s opinionated roommate is Al Buck, Al, the crusty chem major, keeps his philosophic heart hidden behind a cynical manner and a flannel shirt. His con- stant studying is broken by strings of unprintables and a search for Tammarra. However engaged, he still has time for a Se cando me vas! Gibby is the traveler in the group; sort of the poor man ' s John Foster Dulles. His Junior year was spent in Spain where he will return in September to get his Master ' s. A collector of memories to go with his music and martinis, I will long remember his little green convertible which too few people saw him drive. The co-ordinator of the group is Carl; it has been his job to organize every plan that ever fell through. Instead of the ministry, he should spend his life divid- ing up phone bills and pizza prices, talking on the phone and racing home after his last class on Friday. He is so blinking good at it! However, I can also envision him in an interesting little church coated with Holy Frost. Now, let ' s talk about me . . . D. ' W.S. William C. Bertolet Alfred S. Buck l inety J. Peter Tillcy John W.

Hershey There are all sorts of ways to put one over on the human condition — have a beer, find a couch, eat a pretzel, get a date, tr ' to start the car, build a fire, go to Al ' s, turn off the alarm, and go back to sleep. John, of the four, comes closest to a rickety balance — a hearty positivism bedmated to baroque strings. Quantitative contacts make for an efficient epicurean and, no doubt, a somewhat superior academic per- spective. Satyrissimus.

Edwin J. Macon Thomas H. Steele J inetyone Laurence H. Clark Mark H. Randal, Daniel C. Wills Mark — student, philosopher of sorts, and sportsman, probably knows Haverford better than most of us, and still he came here. His career has been filled with surprises, small failures, and varied success. He has been at home here, and that it what counts. The edu- cation he gained will stand him in good stead, and as a student, a philosopher of sorts, and a sportsman (a Beta Rho) there is one thing to say, Albs well that ends well. Larry has not been notable for his participation in sports, although he learned how to shoot darts, and is commonly known as the spectator. Also known as a Chase Hall man, he maintains that it does not take an eighty average to join the Army. Looking to the future, he has decided that it is time to earn some money. Through his stay at ' ford College Wills has dis- played his mechanical ingenuity by shedding cars as rapidly as Rubirosa samples his international reper- toire . . . none the less, with a glance to ingenuity, Dan ' s creative ability, ranging from the developmental colange to the advanced piscatorial suspension of broken beer bottles has attracted a following of awed undergraduates ... if the thumbists are merciful and the populace progressive, we may consider our- selves fortunate in having known this future Calder(?)

Christmas Early Monday evening, accompanied by a bored Customs Committee member, the eager sub-trcshman wanders into the most accessible suite in Leeds. Frus- trated in seeking Scott Paper Company as sponsor for the WHRC Sports Review, Dal reclines in the cor- nor memorising high school track records from the TSjeu) Tor Times. Myles, roused from dreams of Alaska by cries that he is late for dinner, staggers from his room muttering, I ' d ask that girl over to hear the rest of the Bach organ music, but Fve got to find the damn Library key.

After forcefully ejecting two tele- vision addicts from the back room, Jim comments on the lack of scholarly interest m the Virgin Islands at Haverford, and dodges a flying sociology book. He ponders aloud where to get a date for the weekend, and the thoroughly bewildered sub-freshman turns to find the door. Returning from dinner, Myles muses, There goes another one Mac needn ' t bother about. Myles A. Johnson James D. Holmes 7Sjinety- our John A. Harkins Thomas Van Arkel John Harkins is a cross of Bohemian and woods- man. At one time his ruh ' ng passion was to lie down and smoke a pipe. All that could arouse him from such a state was the siren of a fire engine or the pros- pect of a cricket game. Then his Delilah came along and shaved off his nice thick beard, sapping his pas- sion. Once married, he degenerated to serious scholar- ship, in short, was forced to look for new ways to be himself. The first thing Tom did after coming to Haverford was get married. His wife, Anne, also a Histor ' major, will graduate from Bryn Mawr this spring. The rigours of married life have not kept Tom out of campus activity. He won his varsity letter in track and soccer for four years. In his senior year he chairmaned the Commencement Speakers Committee and the Students Curriculum Committee. Next year he plans to go to Law School and possibly into the Foreign Service in the future. After three years as a day student, W.A.S. decided to share the cave at Woodside, and, with a blaze of , glor ' , he embarked on resident life. Shortly thereafter, he departed same to enter the state of marital bliss. The terror of the gridiron in earlier years, Bill retired to the less violent pursuits of history and coaching. Nancy ' s talents with the stove have proven irresistible to huhby, and the guests from Woodside. What a future! During his four year sojourn at Haverford Ronnie has definitely picked up three things to remember the school by: a high scholastic average, innumerable ath- letic injuries, and a wife. Ron probably got all three by hard work and perseverance for this is something he brought with him from the outside world. Ne.xt year Ron goes to med. school with his wife, his injuries, and, we hope, his high average. He leaves his brother to carry on whatever tradition he has established. William A. Sayles Howard R. Kaback 7 linety-five Harvey E. Phillips Kenneth L. Gcist Roger B. Hardy As a rankine; member ot the Butman Drama Squad, Harvey gave up the bright lights for a year ' s sojourn abroad, and this convinced him that dormitories aren ' t the answer. He returned with a bald temperamental singing lady. Late nights, late mornings (a heritage from the Merion D.P. days), the 12 greats of French Literature, Bach and R. Strauss battling for phonographic control, an occasional Revue contribution, and a hoped-for new expedition to some English thespian institution com- plete the picture. Ken is most widely known as the entertainer, the man of a thousand retorts, jibes, and miscellaneous anecdotes. Some of these are clever, but the charm lies more in the teller th.m the telling, for Geist is a per- sonality of sweeping prejudice; he hates a small audi- ence. Based on his campus success, Geist plans a career in the professional theater, and his legion of admirers are making cynical side bets on the outcome. Roger has majored in English, and is known for involved and passionate arguments. He is also known for a very complex sense of humor, to which some have applied other epithets. He tried living off campus for a semester, but running afoul of his land-lady, he returned to the womb. He is also an expert on coffees, tobacco, and Irish. He intends to go on to graduate school, and then to teach. TSjinety-six After six years at five other institutions and three glass companies. Perk Pedrick should be able to sink into his khakis for a loaf, the Wall Street Journal , and Wagner ' s Special Blend. But a modest joie de Haverford has Perk undespairingly throwing up his arms to greet pilgrims who journey to Founders for his words on Operations Research or Woody Her- man ' s sick reed. While Perk does flee to Beaver weekly, he has not been able to elude the discreet offers from graduate schools. Haverford College, Pa., June 6, 2008. A me- morial plaque has been placed on the door of the room occupied by R. J. Hopper in his senior year who was for many years chief janitor at the Skinner Research Institute. The inscription reads: A cycle of the phoenix was completed here. Eric (self styled — gentleman, scholar, and deluded) traveled in glorious style between his not so celebrate cell, in which he Foundered, and that school across the tracks. Of which he is reported to have said There ' s always room for one more (redhead). On the campus he was known for such activiries as ham acting and ham serving. In the dining hall he in- gratiated himself with his delightful variance of mood, and on the stage he portrayed his invariant doom. Eric G. Koskoff Perkins C. Pedrick Robert J. Hopper J metyseven Thomas A. Medsger, Jr. John F. Crawford Rrrringgg . . . Good evening, Presidentuil Suite . . . No, I ' m sorry, John . . . Hey, Maddock, where are you?

But the opening was barred by a hugh figure carrying a 7 lew Tor Times. Gerard, what ' s the hurry? it ques- tioned calmly. I just saw the neatest French flick at the Green . . .

It ' ll only take . . . greet- ings, John, let ' s get something to eat. Orange ya hungry? Just then a snow-covered form burst into the room. Man, what a close shave. I just couldn ' t fight Alexander the Great, and no one yelled ' Rally, Tom ' . Gerry declared solemnly, My son, this fool- ishness must cease — and . . . don ' t . . . you . . . ever . . . forget . . . that. Tom retaliated, Yeah, sure — say, I could handle some beer and pizza right now. Let ' s away was the unanimous cry, and the foursome disappeared behind the swinging door of 203 Leeds. Thomas Maddock Gerald D. Gunster ' hlinety-eight Jan A. Riegl Jean Meyer Almost any evening you may find Jan in his Sharp- less hideout sehooling the elusive beasts of psychologi- cal lore, the white rats. But although he enjoys ani- mals antics, the study of people is ultimately his dish — for this reason he is headed for Rochester Medical School. In spite of these quasi-scientific interests, he has been tolerated in French House for four years, and has spent his summers not among test tubes, but tramp- ing about the Canadian Woods. Jean Meyer entered America at 15 on a U.N. fel- lowship. Once at Haverford, he claims squatter ' s rights in French House and the Political Science Department. Forsaking Haverford in Junior Year, he journeyed hack to his native Geneva, where Joslyn saw him intriguing for Swiss imperialism. His spare time was spent with TRANS-EUROPEAN INC., flying and driving from Tangiers to Copenhagen. He has a pat answer to the question : How do you like this country i I don ' t speak English! Al Joslyn emerged from the backwoods of Penn- sylvania, spent his first two years in the pursuit of Ab- solute dissipation, and escaped to Scotland for his Jun- ior year. Alternating between dutsy law tomes and local pubs, he managed to acquire an interest in cook- ing and a Swedish lassie. He followed the former and imported the latter. He is occasionally seen on campus with Meyer and an armload of books, following an- other of his hobbies — snarling at freshmen. Eric, known to his readers as Svend Erickson, bears the nondescript title of an English major. Lived in Barclay three years, rejected the theory of cliques, and in his Senior year retired to a garret room to write The Egyptian Tragedy, attempting to seclude himself from all but the Cricket team, the Drama Club, and Bryn Mawr. A staunch defender of British tradi- tionalism, he believed, though rarely would admit, that Cricket was a way of life. Allen S. Joslyn Eric T. Schoonovcr Tsjinetv-nine David L. Hoffman J . V il on M) t ' fs David A. Richie Dave, after a sojourn at Kenyon College, came to Havcrford in 19 2. Upon the advent of the Korean War, he took up the call to arms and managed to en- joy two delightful years in Germany at Uncle Sam ' s expense. Returning to Haverford in 19 ' ) i Dave ma- jored in Psychology. He found time, however, to par- take of several Sociology courses in which his exten- sive research carried him to Swarthmore and finally implanted him here. Will was originally Class of 1949, took leave of absence in 1948; spent 18 months in Germany work- ing with an American Friends Service Committee relief team. Married Eleanor Emlen of Germantown and became the father of three boys; settled in New Lis- bon, N. J. Then he worked as a carpenter and con- tractor. He is known as irrevocably committed to study, pursuit, and appreciation of winged horse. An English major, he plans to go on to graduate school. Mr. Richie is a rather mysterious character. We know that he has a charming wife, we met her once, we hear rumors that he may have a child, we know he is a history major, and we are positive he was in the Navy, the coat is unmistakable. That is about all we know. Dave lives over there someplace and can talk with some authority about the old days, he can be seen in the Library or walking briskly someplace. We are sure he will get there. One Hundred The Ukrainian Mathematical Journal, McShane ' s Integration, a volume of Proust, and Spock ' s best sel- ler are clutched madly as Newcomb runs the last leg of his daily communication. The first two represent the equipage of an eager young mathematician, while the third has been surreptitioulsy included hy Connie. Hav- ing escaped from the noise and confusion of Barclay to the noise and confusion of Michael, Newcomb is now preparing to take the latter to Princeton, hop- ing that the sedate atmosphere there will calm Misha down. Peter ' s Freshman year was spent mainly in an un- authorized vacation to New Orleans and an attempt to revive the true spirit of fencing. Having satisfied his desire for notoriety, he spent three years as a hard- working student of English Literature. This activity has been frustrated by a venture into set-designing, an interest in sculpting, and visits to Cornell. He solved the problem of the visits, rooming, and food by getting married. He is now enjoying married life rather than studying. Originally a member of the Class of 57, Larr ' claims he still is at heart, and until he turned up as a Senior this year, he had more than one of his class- mates thinking he was too. With his class departed, Larry came back a changed man — minus his beloved Model A, and richer by a wife. Then, finally satis- fied with his lot, he settled down to a life of scholar- ly achievement to set an example of true success for his bachelor friends. Newcomb Greenleaf Peter B. Rockwell Laurence R. Gallager One Hundred One Robert L. Krause Nyles N. Barnert Although calculus cannot help Nyles Barnert ' s golf score or keep his Dodgers in Brooklyn, his efficiency in it and other math and physics courses did get him an assistantship at M.I.T. Nyles is also noted, for his mastery of Bridge and Bull sessions. The latter talent is practiced on innocent knowledge seekers who pass through his domain, enroute to his roommate. Because of Boh Krause (Nyles ' roomm.itc), 308 Barclay has been a focus of learning for the past four years. This scholar drinks in courses with a quantity matched only by the number of girls he has dated (all once upon a time), and with an efficiency matched only by that which his thermophiles (bacteria) experience through his scientific scrutiny. With tears of joy and relief Haverford ' s faculty will yield Junic r Phi Beta Krause to Penn Medical School next year. Accompanying Bob to Penn Medical will he Burt Friedman, day student turned resident. Burt is a typical Central grind, who is invariably studying, experimenting with rats, or soliciting volunteers (human) for psychology experiments. This assiduous behavior has resulted in two Corporation scholarships and other awards. Burt finds recreation chiefly in photography, ping-pong, and foreign movies. An in- veterate dieter, he enjoys fall soccer practice, winter badniinton, and all-year-around criticism of the dining hall food. Burt ' s neighbor and fellow-transplant, Norm Klin- man, found the new climate suitable for a scholastic transformation from a study when necessary stu- dent to a Krausian martyr. His long days have been spiced, however, with many blissful hours with his (and Dr. Santer ' s) bugs, and his nights spent at Leeds, Sharpless, and Goodhart or wherever the occasion warranted.

One Hundred Four Among the many unofficial fraternities rubbing el- bows with the official ones on our green campus is one consisting of a few dissipated intellectuals, products of the turmoil of modern society. Chuck Adams, the club ' s bearded visiting anthropol- gist, returned to Haverford this year after a brief so- journ making contact with the common man. He has received the club ' s distinguished service medal for sev- eral cross-country scrambles on his oft-heard BSA, apparently in quest of his big idea with which he hopes to astound not only this, but all other worlds as well. Ed Bradley, the group ' s psychiatrist, has divided his time between philosophy, his major, where he re- • cently formulated the new ethos of Inscrutable Natural- istic Pessimism, and another campus group whose mys- tic symbol is the number ten. Edley has distinguished himself both on the dartboard and the baseball field where he set the unprecedented record of three wins from the mound. Jim Bucy, Chicago ' s answer to the catcher in the rye, brought a certain air d ' elegance to the society with a white Jaguar roadster which reportedly did 122 mph on the Schuylkill Expressway. A chemistry major, Jim has made record runs to both Sebring and Chicago, the latter with Shultn in connection with a time limit set by the girl back home. Late hours and a constant attempt to get organ- ized have left Pete Cable, whose dilemma consists of an undeniable attraction for physics opposing a certain sensitivity for the humanities, with a curious reflective gaze which might well deceive the casual ob- continued Charles S. Adams Edward L. Bradley James G. Bucy One Hundred Five Peter G. Cable William D. Carragan server. Although Cahes has been asking the same question — What ' s this all about? — since his sopho- more year, his occasional flings may be leading him to an answer. Bill Carragan, also a physics major, spends what lit- tle spare time he can muster composing fugues and drawing cartoons in the manner of his two idols, Bartok and Bosch. Subjected to a tempestuous en- counter with Bryn Mawr in his junior year, he has since unwillingly retreated into the dismal catacombs of Sharpless, where no doubt he is developing some sort of future. Peter Hunt, an English major, is compiling a Lex- icon of Dating, the research for which is being done by obtaining eight o ' clock dates from Bryn Mawr at 7:4 ). In the course of this supposedly detached sci- entific inquiry, Pete has fallen in love nineteen times, but since these affairs never progress beyond the in- troductory stages, he considers them merely as super- numerary adjuncts to the main business. Bob Dutch Shult:, the sardonic club golf pro, has distinguished himself for second story activity. The senor ' s quest for wheels has led to ingenious modes of transportation, feet excluded. Thus Bryn Mawr is not strange to him, although perhaps the authorities there might have wished it otherwise. Dutch is out for the law, which is a better fate than that suffered by his namesake. And so it is: amid such scenes as Carragan and Cable discussing a newly atrocious Physics 42 prob- lem set in impossibly erudite terminology, the Bradley- Hunt chess game in which Hunt doggedly refuses to resign despite Bradley ' s impassioned pleas, Shultz and Adams discussing life, society and flicks, and Bucy at- tempting vainly to collect telephone bills — life goes vaguely on, Peter T. Hunt Robert L. Schultz One Hundred Six Henry J. Dane Charles A. Knight Hereabouts he pleased to find A picture ot H. Dane, A man whose life at Haverford Was unimpressively plain. Not particularly athletic. Not for that matter aesthetic. His manner generally mild, His parties never wild. Perhaps somewhat pretentious. Occasionally licentious.

Destined to break no hearts but his own, to develop no coterie of loyal and devoted associates, to win little renow ' n, Charlie fought his fate at every turn. Yet games, acting, studying, wine, women, song — all were to no avail. In the end it worked out as expected. He became an amateur mystic and prophet, and looks for- ward to a mundane life of predicting the end of the world, in a classroom where students have to listen. Bob and Dan, residents of the Barclay art colony for some time, are most commonly seen under Dr. Swan ' s fire. Lately, though, some of the vinegar has sweetened: we might even be willing to play Benja- min ' s work outside the walls. They have been noted for producing pale green ladies, and lately they have been persecuted for harboring a stricken Lambretta. Some comment was also aroused by moosehead adorn- ing the hood of a bright blue Packard! Despite all this action. Bob has managed to major in music, and to spend a good deal of time with the orchestra groups, while Dan has majored in philosophy, and spent extra time working for hard knocks from Dr. Swan. Both of these gentlemen seem to go the Kerouac route for the future. Robert S. Benjamin One Hundred Seven Eric J. Harrison Stephen B. SarnofF Boyd G. Ralph Skip and Eric are not complex persons, nor men of many facets, so we won ' t bedazzle you with hits of metaphor or Latin niceties. They are alike in a surprising number of ways. Both are Western Pcnnsylvanians of Scots-Irish parentage: both have had a fling at hard-bitten football, the gentle arts of Track and Field, and at maintaining normalcy in an atmosphere of paranoia. Both, in fact, were born on the eighth of March. One cannot stretch this comparison too far, how- ever. Skip has rebuffed the civilizing effects of the Humanities, and he has stuck grimly to science in spite of the new chemistry department. Eric rejoiced, on the other hand, when he found that his science require- ments were fulfilled, and he gave himself with abandon to the brightest side of the history department. In their own way Skip and Eric may have found a proper balance between academies and athletics; they have achieved moderate successes in both fields. The result has been not at all complex. Steve ' s academic career has not been brilliant, al- though apologetic biographers will surely sing a familiar song: If this genius had worked, he would have been first in his class. Steve manages to override these road blocks on the super highway of rationalism by charming the highway commission with his medley of Zen, sensuality, and Machiavelli, however, he remains slightly daunted by MacCaffrcyism. Moreover, in spite of this, we can not deny that he is an expert on gym ceiling structure and Mmmm. One Hundred Eig it WOODSIDE COTTAGE Waking Hours: 1 :00 P.M. -3:00 A.M.

Judging from the depth of his sleep, Bob came to Haverford tired and will leave the same.

Bob has been the terror of the tennis courts by day, and a swift manipulator of women at night, Bob ' s constant pose is prone: truly the coolest man on campus. In the next bed, we find lost in the covers Jay â– â– Jeb Mohr. A constant agitator for the renewal of the Civil War, he has advanced to a more modern stage, and lives in a world ot tanks and planes. Ivy League appearance marks our boy whether on the soc- cer field or the pole vault runway. Jay was the cre- ator of Haverford ' s biggest weekend — a financial fi- asco. His one checkmate to vociferous Chase Hallisms is the Beanbag, who on August 9, will lead him to the world of marital reality. In the next room we find, under the eaves, C.M.B., Mr. Molecule. Known among his friends as the master of the caustic comment, Chet also distinguishes himself by his infallibility. Always ready to point out their shortcomings, he sidesteps the moral pitfalls of his friends. The champion of absolute scientific truth, Chet nonetheless condescends to sample the truths of Chase Hall. Every afternoon Chet can be seen on the track preparing for the Sadie Hawkins Day which never seems to come. Robert G. Pratt Jay P. Mohr Cheston M. Berlin, Jr. ' jlw ) One Hundred 7 line Martin G.

Frank Conroy One Hundred Ten Paul L. Aiken Leighton A. Price peccata mundi: gregorian chant envelops two austere figures seated at opposite ends of a chess board. The first is Price, the transportations and communications magnate of Yarnall House. The second is Aiken, the revolutionar ' poet, lately awaiting the Muse ' s guidance for the modern epic of mrs. labynnth. Emerging from separate paths, both share the senority of their off- campus domain. L. P., who escaped from the drear ' confines of Merion (yet carefully avoiding on-campus living), developed tastes for hi-fi, Japanese prints, foils and White Horse; while Aiken, evolving through the more mundane Barclay and Lloyd, cultured a taste for lo-fi, fehnes petitions. Drambuie ( remember. Friend, its temperance, not abstinence. ) and Burns. . . . but Robbie Burns is the Peoples poet, L. P. Shut up, Tm tr ' ing to remember who s got my car to- night. With a chuckle, L. P. defiantly removes a white bishop, juventutem meam. Dick is known for his passionate discussions about philosophy and Italian opera with a short and fier ' Italian friend (since departed to the sublime). He is also an expert on guitars and folk songs, and has been known to declaim in meeting, when others do not get to the point. Besides this he has been seen on the soccer field, in the drama club, and in the glee club. This year, however, his light has illumined other cor- ners. He has joined the ranks of the married. Fred, a sociology major, was most often found around the Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Russian de- partments. The extra-curricular activities of this ' Phil- adelphia lawyer consisted of the curriculum commit- tee, sporadic intramural sports, showing the girls from nearby non-profit institutions local spots of interest, and arguing politics. He departs to Harvard, gratis Ford Foundation. Richard M. Kelly Frederick A. Hargadon One Hundred Eleven James H. Reill J. Langford Montgomery He is a rational animal capable of discourse, a mathe- matician without an infinity, who lost his boyish in- nocence somewhere between Haverford Road and the duck pond. Visions of Nothingness sustain him — the gift of the Magi, who, as they lead him to the Gates, congratulate themselves (the pundits!) in pomposities of pondered polysyllables. O Daughters of the Silk Purse, pray for him! O Sisters of the Ravished Rose, provide for him! (He was Phi Beta Kappa his Junior year for which he was given a small gold key by the Haverford chapter of that learned society.) Lanny Montgomery returned to Haverford to fulfill the requirements for a Psychology major and the duties of co-president of the Psychology club with mingled hope and resignation. Resignation increased as the image of man viewed through a laboratory peopled with rats, mazes; value scales became grotesquely inhuman. A book-laden flat displaying the pieces d ' art of another senior helped maintain his perspective of the species on weekdays, while Ja creatice herself supplied the human touch on weekends.

On the board were eleven editors, all equal. But, as Michels would have predicted, some of the editors soon became more equal than the others. Most equal of all was Carl Kun::. Starting out as makeup editor, he controlled the channels of com- munications and was recogni d as de facto editor-in- chief of The Record, in charge of keeping the printer satisfied, keeping the sub-editors on their toes, and generally doing most of the worrying. Self-appointed managing editor and aspiring mayor of the palace was Roger Wollstadt, who edited the fea- tLires and kept watch over the style by reading all copy. Burt Friedman and Jan Riegl, who lointly took care of the faculty section, had the distinction of getting their copy all in before any on e else. In fact, all of the other editors were tied for second — on the very last deadline night. Steve Sarnoff started out as editor of the senior section, but met with mishap in Class Night and had Editorial Staff John F. Adams Greg Alexander Al Armstrong Bob Benjamin Chet Berlin Jim Boyer Al Buck Bill Carragan Larry Christmas Bob Crist Ken Geist Mac Goggin Dave Grambs Dal Holmes George Hurchalla Tom Maddock Jay Mohr Harvey Phillips Emery Rice Lou Sheitclman Bill Taylor Joel Tobias Don Winter to be relieved for the final push by Dave Lenfest. Dave, then, was harassed with the task of getting class mem- bers please to turn in their writeups. The other editorial sections of the book were handled by Tom Medsger and Hermann Piatt. Tom, a former sports editor of The ews, worried ab out writing up spring sports before they had even or- ganized, while Hermann was charged with marshal- ing Haverford ' s clubs and activities for posterity. Production m.inager for The Record was Dave Gib- son, who realized the layouts and turned the edi- tors ' copy into something that the printers could handle. Harold Kurzman directed the photographers, de- veloped and enlarged pictures, and generally took care of the photographic work. His job was somewhat lightened by a dearth of funds, which required the edi- tor to minimize pictures. On every publication there is a dispute as to whether the editorial or business men are more important. Though outnumbered 10-1, Al Gold upheld the honor of those who sign contracts, solicit advertisements, and sell the editors ' product. Put these eleven together, add numerous intermin- able board meetings in which participants are well shaken, add the staff and a finite series of receding deadlines, let ferment for two months at the printer, and you finally emerge with The I9 8 Record.
