GENEVA, NEW YORK COPYRIGHT 1940 WILLIAM M. STERLING, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF EDMUND RITCHIE, BUSINESS MANAGER Dedication Though Stuart Tookie Cole was of the class of '25 we have considered him one of our own generation. With us he has felt the particular strife and suffering that has been the heritage of our generation. The pain he has ex- perienced has turned him increasingly to the Christian philosophy. But unlike many he has not sought in Christ an opiate to deaden the pain. The Christianity of the Hobart Chapel is not a refuge for the weary and disil- lusioned, but rather a challenge to those who are young in spirit to accept the Christian way as the practical way of life. The Hobart Chapel challenge has made religion a reality, not a pretense, by keeping before Hobart men the vision of God’s will for all mankind. It has stated clearly that if we are to do more than pay lip service to the doc- trines of Christ, then we must sacrifice privilege and advantage for common good. It has said that unless Christians recognize existing social evils and labor to correct them, then Christians can not expect our world to be a Christian one. The Hobart Chaplain has never asserted that the church should have a political program; its task is the recreation of the moral and social responsi- bility of the individual. To that task Stuart Cole has set himself. The increas- ing number of Hobart students who seek the Christian way of life as a reaction to the stimulus of human needs attests his success. Foreword THE pictures of which this book mainly consists represent a composite picture of Hobart life. Emphasis has been placed upon the photograph rather than the written word. The unwritten words which they suggest we trust the reader will supply. We have tried to present an accurate cross section of every phase of campus life. It is our belief that failing memories in the distant future will be sharpened by the clear detail of these pictures. MEDBER [ 14 J MERRITT HALL AdlminiibuititMi, WILLIAM ALFRED EDDY, Ph.D., LL.D., L.H.D. Scholar—Administrator—Man. We have known him as all of these, and yet we choose par- ticularly to remember him as a giver of ideas. Time has not marred his gifts to us three years ago; nor has it enervated his subsequent gifts in Sunday evening Chapel service, in Tuesday Chapel meeting, in forums and in personal encounters. Whether we have accepted or rejected what he said on these occasions, at all times we have been moved and stimulated. He has clearly and strongly given what he thinks and believes. With greater strength and greater clarity has he fought to maintain an atmosphere in which the lowliest student may express disagreement with what he or anyone else thinks or believes. Never has the strength of his argument caused students to feel that they incur his displeasure when they dissent. Always in the heat of any disagreement, he has ennobled the words of Voltaire, 'T disapprove of what you say, but I'll defend to death your right to say it . WALTER HETHERINGTON DURFEE, A.B., M.C.E., Ph.D. In this day of few investment opportunities and low interest rates, privately endowed schools must secure new income or else relinquish the greater portion of education to state-supported institutions. The state school must not he allowed to supplant the privately endowed insti- tution. Schools supported by the government are never beyond the reach of despotic politics; private schools are still relatively uncurbed in their efforts to maintain academic freedom. The realization that the death of the privately endowed liberal art college could clear the way for an intellectual tyranny exercised by the state has given vigour to the economic motive in the private school's struggle to survive. Feverishly devising new sources of income, some educators have forsaken the high ideals of education to entice and hold customers. Others have upheld the difficult standard of principle and integrity. We here pay tribute to one of the latter, Walter Hetherington Durfee. In an age that has taken its toll of ideals, he has steadily upheld the traditions of the Durfees who number their years as years of service to education, to Hobart, and to civilization.

Whether it will bring great honor to these portals is a matter of considerable question. We have learned enough to make these years worthwhile and we’ve had a good time, too. Though Hobart is pleasant, it is not an escape from the world. The social relationships have been enjoyable, the intellectual relation- ships stimulating. These years have been good; they have prepared us for better years to come.

The memory of his generosity, his jovial conversation, his keen wit, his studious mind, and his genuine sense of true friendship will be with us until we go on that long vacation ourselves.

I 66 ] DELTA OF NEW YORK THE DELTA CHAPTER OF SIGMA PHI was founded in 1840. The Hobart chapter was the second Greek-letter society to be established here, being preceded by Alpha Delta Phi by several months. The charter members were: Charles C. Brown, Charles G. Brundige, Albert G. Heminway, John P. McGregor, William H. Watson, and the Rev. Francis Beveridge. In spite of the reduction in its membership during the Civil War, the chapter has never been forced to discontinue. This year the Deltas celebrated their One-Hundredth Anniversary, and served as hosts to the 113th annual convention of the Society. Together with the Kappa Alpha and Delta Phi Societies, Sigma Phi completes the Union Triad out of which has arisen the pattern of the American college fraternity system.

Because of the intervention of the Civil War and the drop in the enrollment of the college, the chapter was withdrawn in 1854; but on June 16, 1879, seven men: Edward Stuyvesant Bragg, Joseph Morison Clarke, Andrew Merrell, Peyton Gallagher, Reuben Seabury Doolittle and James Byron Smith were initiated at Cornell and returned to reestablish the present Chapter, continuously active since then. Kappa Alpha, Sigma Phi and Delta Phi of the Union Triad form the pattern for the establishment of our American College fraternity system.

The first Charge was established at Union in 1847- Colonel William Logie transferred from Hobart to Union and there became a member of the original Charge. He interested his Hobart friends in the fraternity and was instrumental in the granting of the petition which led to the establishment of the Xi Charge at Hobart in 1357. Logie and another fraternity brother from Union journeyed to Geneva to initiate the nine charter members of Xi Charge: John Y. Barkley, David W. Brooks, Ralph L. Goodrich, Henry E.

The Reverend William P. Kemper, a Sigma Chi from the University of Wisconsin, transferred to Hobart and became acquainted with a group of men who formed the nucleus of the new chapter. He, with the aid of George C. Purdy of Cornell, obtained a charter for the Hobart men; and Frederick J. Leach, David C. Huntington, Walter J. Lockton, Rozelle J. Phillips, Gilbert V. Russell, George W. Scott, Henry P. Seymour and George C. Stressenburg were initiated as charter members. Sigma Chi was founded in 1855, and with Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta form the Miami Triad. Today there are chapters throughout the United States and Canada.

Some of the charter members are: Frank P. Bender, E. L. Cook II, Max B. Courage, T. T. Odell, Frank A. Turturro, E. F. Twardokus and J. O. Young. Kappa Sigma is the second largest fraternity in existence and has chapters in forty-seven states and three in Canada.

F. Porter, Maurice G. Foulkes, Maurice H. Hopson, and J. Russell Blandford, so that unaffiliated men on the campus could take a more active part in Hobart social life and extra-curricular activities. Although only four years old, the group has succeeded in gaining the interest of an ever increasing number of non- fraternity men as well as the cooperation of the fraternities. It is now divided into two groups active and non-active men. Several smokers and victrola concerts along with a few novel dances constitute the neutrals’ social life. The neutrals are also always well represented in intramural sports. They have consistently held the MacDaniels Cup for high scholarship. The headquarters of the Neutral Body is Brent House. It has recently added Eaton House to accommodate its increasing members. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer OFFICERS Robert H. Ford Charles E. Kaufman Frederick E. Curtice James D.

Druids SENIOR HONORARY SOCIETY THE DRUID SOCIETY was established at Hobart on December 12, 1903, and has been in continuous existence ever since. The election to Druidship is the most distinguished honor that can be accorded a Hobart undergraduate. This Senior Honorary Society serves as an incentive to the fullest expression in the lives of the students of the ideals for which Hobart, as an institution of culture, stands. The Druid must qualify himself by exhibiting leadership, rendering service to the college community, and by attaining a high standard in scholarship and extra-curricular activities. As a governing'body the Druids supervise freshmen activities and oversee numerous college functions. The five men tapped, four last Moving-up Day and one in February, to receive this dis- tinguished honor were: William Hugh Dobbin, Richard Louis Ferris, Joseph Harry Meyer Jr., Paul Brorsrrom Townsend and Robert Rae Spears Jr. [84] JOSEPH HENRY MEYER JR. Joe has been a domi- nant personality in cam- pus life as the chosen leader of his class. He was a bulwark of the line on the football team, WILLIAM HUGH DOBBIN Bill is a Geneva bov and a member of the Theta Delta Chi Fraternity. For four years he has been treasurer of his class. Outstanding in both basket- ball and lacrosse, he is captain of the former and co-captain of the latter. As a member of Chimera, he was also president of Orange Key. RICHARD LOUIS FERRIS Dick is one of the few three letter men on the Hobart Campus. Chosen to the All-American Lacrosse team in his junior year, he is co-captain of Hobart's 1940 lacrosse team. Captain of the football team, he was also a mainstay on the basketball squad. As a member of the Theta Delta Chi, he has been vice-president of his class for the last four vears. He is also a member of the Chimera Society. former heavy-weight champion in intramural boxing and an active participant in lacrosse. He is a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity as well as the Kappa Beta Phi and Chimera Socie- ties. PAUL BRORSTROM TOWNSEND A member of Kappa Alpha Society, Paul has been a catalyst of campus thought and expression. As editor of last year's Echo and this year's Herald, he has been instrumental in the institution of many reforms and in the maintenance of active undergraduate discussion. A member of the Chimera Society, Paul was vice-president of his fraternity his junior year. ROBERT RAE SPEARS JR. Late in February, Bob was elected to the Society in a special election. He has been president of both Phi Phi Delta Fraternity and the Hobart Christian Association. For three years he has been a member of the International Relations Club, sponsors of the Model Assembly of the League of Nations of which Bob was one of the two secretaries.

It finds its origin in Greek mythol- ogy in which the Chimera was a fire-spouting monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon. Similarly, this society, whose members are elected from the Sophomore class by the Druids on Moving-Up Day, combines in one body the men who have been outstanding in the various activities on the Hobart College Campus.

With the loss of such men as Dick- son, Benjamin, Dickinson, Silver, Cotrone, Wann, Hersh and Mulcahv, all of whom were lettermen in 1938, Speed was faced with the problem of developing a team with inexperienced material. After losing their opening game to Norwich, the determined Statesmen showed improvement in every game until they found themselves facing Rochester with victories over Kenyon, Hartwick and Buffalo to their credit. Aided greatly by the addition to the coaching staff of Chuck Ream, new line-coach, Hobart smashed Rochester for the fifth consecutive year to the tune of 23-0; thus completing another successful season in the annals of Hobart football history. Meyer, M. McCarty, Grygiel, Clemens, McAllister. HOBART LOSES OPENER TO NORWICH Hobart opened its 1939 season by going down to defeat before the powerful Horsemen of Norwich University 25-13- After leading 13-0 at half time, Norwich scored twice in ten minutes to lead 25-0 in the second half. Hobart retaliated by air via two passes from Popa- lisky to Fitch, both good for touchdowns, but the game ended a few plays later with the Statesmen in possession of the ball at mid-field. STATESMEN CONQUER KENYON BEFORE ALUMNI Playing the Kenyon Lords before a large Home-Coming Day crowd, the Statesmen won their first game of the year 20-0. After a scoreless first half, Hobart drove over three touchdowns in the third quarter when Popalisky passed to Hart and then ran 58 and 12 yards for the final two scores of the game. [ 96 ] HOBART DEFEATS HARTWICK 26-0 Completing six out of ten passes, and scoring all their touchdowns by air, Hobart com- pletely outplayed a fighting Hartwick team to win their second game of the year 26-0. Popa- lisky passed to Hart for the first two scores and then hurled another to Noll man for the third. Ferris's pass to Fitch completed the Hobart scoring. TRINITY GAINS DECISIVE WIN OVER HOBART The first game away from Boswell Field found the Statesmen decisively out-matched by a fighting Trinity team, losing to the Hartford, Conn. Eleven, 13-0. Trinity scored both their touchdowns early in the first quarter, and the remainder of the game was scoreless. Hobart failed to threaten at any time and were unsuccessful in their attempts to penetrate into Trinity [97] ' territory throughout the entire game. ROCHESTER FOR FIFTH ROCHESTER FALLS 23-0 With a mediocre season behind them, the Statesmen arrived in Rochester for their final game of the year and found themselves the pre-game favorites. Inspired by all the dash and color of a typical Hobart-Rochester game, the Statesmen were never more brilliant, trouncing Rochester 23-0, to take the lead in the series for the first time since the start of the rivalry over forty years ago. Following Rochester's usual early march down the field, the Statesmen took over only to lose the ball in the shadow of the Rochester goal posts. 198] VANQUISHED CONSECUTIVE YEAR At this point Herb Fitch smashed through the Rochester line to block a punt and record two points for the Orange and Purple. A few plays later Hart scored when he dashed twenty-five yards through right tackle for the game's first touchdown. Hobart took to the air in the third quarter and scored again when Popalisky tossed to Clark, the latter scoring standing up. Popalisky completed the scoring for the day with a nine yard run through center, and the game ended a few plays later when a jubilant Hobart crowd swarmed on the field to celebrate the fifth straight Hobart victory over their ancient rivals. If STATESMEN LOSE HEART-BREAKER TO KENT STATE Following their defeat by Trinity, Hobart returned to Geneva to lose to the Golden Flashes of Kent State 8-6. Kent State scored in the second quarter, and Hobart evened the count in the third period. In the same quarter, Sutterby intercepted a pass and in trying to evade tacklers, was tackled in the end zone for a safety. This ended the scoring with Kent State winning by two points. HOBART TRAMPLES BUFFALO 20-0 Playing the best football of the season, Hobart easily defeated Buffalo 20-0 in the final home game of the year. All of the Statesmen's touchdowns came in the third quarter, Ferris plunging over from the one-yard line for the first score early in the period. Hart then gal- loped twenty-five yards for the second score, and Ferris completed the rout with an eighty-five yard run back from a Buffalo punt. The Bisons filled the air with passes in the final period in a desperate attempt to score but to no avail. [ ioo] Basketball COACH EMERALD BEERS WILSON Hobart is indebted to Speed Wilson for many things, one of which is his ability to produce scrappy basketball teams. Regardless of the score of the game, or the trend of the season, every Hobart eager is continually fighting for the ball, a spirit traceable to the magic instilling qualities of his coach. BASKETBALL WILLIAM H. DOBBIN of Geneva was elected to captain this year's team at the conclusion of the 1939 season. His consistent defensive ability and scoring aided the team in recording many a victory. Following the final game against Buffalo, HERBERT J. WELKER was elected to succeed Dobbin as captain of the 1941 quintet.

This optimism however was soon extinguished as the Varsity dropped five of their first six contests, winding up the year with six victories against seven reverses. Coach Wilson's chief drawbacks were the absence of a consistent scorer on the team and the lack of height, both of which proved telling factors in most of the losses. Popalisky was the steadiest point getter, with Welker heaving in 21 counters during the initial Buffalo fray to earn the honor of scoring the most points in a single game. The bright spot in a mediocre season was the showing of the sophomores, who along with the frosh, should bring an appreciable improvement in the team's fortunes next year. STARTING off rhe season on rhe wrong foot, the Hobart basketball team dropped a i lose decision 10 lice Hamii.ton forces at Clinton 37-32. Maintaining a five point lead at half time, Claire Popalisky and Captain Bill Dobbin managed to toss in 21 points between them to pace the Hobart attack. In their first home game the Varsity faced the Alumni to find themselves on the right side of a 57-27 score. Tookie Cole lead the opposition, while Bill Carpenter pumped in twelve points in the second half. Union was the first collegiate invader and proved to be very upsetting guests in their 38-29 triumph. Hopes for a successful season were dimmed in this erratic performance, despite the fine play of Hank Welker and Roy Weber. Again the Statesmen failed to maintain their half time advantage. Still seeking their initial inter-collegiate victory, the basketeers journeyed to the Middle west to engage the Ohio quintets of Baldwin Wallace and Oberlin. Nei- ther attempts were successful, the Gene- vans surrendering to the tune of 47-40 and 48-35 respectively. Popalisky chucked in thirteen markers in each tilt, while Hank Welker scored seventeen during the Oberlin fracas. Rochester's superior speed and height combined to carve out a rug- gedly contested 62-48 win at the Williams Hall homecoming. The team showed its usual fighting spirit, but poor shooting again figured in the final score. Return- [ 104 ] ing to the line-up was Captain Dobbin, who provided seventeen points for the lost cause, and sparked the Hobart defense. Carpenter, in his first full game, flashed a set-shooting ability that netted ten tallies. A win over invading McMaster, resulted in Hobart's first intercollegiate triumph of the year 49-34. Bill Dobbin counted nine set shots for eighteen points to lead the Hobart offense. This encounter furthered the hopes of Coach Speed Wilson that his team might salvage an already ruined schedule. A smashing win against Buffalo to the tune of 48-17 strengthened these hopes. Hank Welker netted twenty-one points to score more than the entire Buf- falo aggregation. Vastly improved defen- sive play, together with the afore- mentioned sharp shooting of Welker featured the contest. Roy Weber's stellar role was likewise a highlight. Hobart next defeated Hartwick 28-27, in one of those heart-stopping finishes. The visitors were in front by six points midway through the closing period, but three straight shots and a converted foul by Popalisky in the final sixty seconds of play handed the Wilsonians the decision. Displaying by far the worst form of the season, the Statesmen closed out the home- stand with a 34-27 lambasting by Alle- gheny, conquerors of mighty Rochester. 'Gator scoring honors went to Grats who swished the nets for twenty-seven [ 105 ] scores. Welker and Popalisky found the loop the most consistently to head the home offensive. Rochester, the next evening, completely subdued the Gene- vans 65-37 on the large Palestra Court. Set shots and height again brought the downfall of the Wilson men; Hobart piercing the rim for only nine markers in the primary half. As usual, Collett and Brewer were deadly with the basket heav- ing. Dick Ferris salvaged something for the lost cause by exhibiting his customary proficient ball-handling. Back from their disastrous journey to Rochester, Hobart played host to Hamil- ton in Williams Hall with a table-revers- ing onslaught terminating in a 46-36 con- quest. In the season’s final at Buffalo, the Bison's furiously battled to even the series. Our cagers, however, managed to eke out a 47-46 victory. The performance of the vanquished was entirely unexpected in view of the terrific trouncing they received in Geneva. Welker and Popalisky snagged the most baskets in these last two en- counters. Thus ended a disappointing year not com- parable to the high hopes entertained at the start. The Orange, however, have demonstrated that they are capable of winning by the fact that they chalked up five successes in their last seven starts. With additional aid from the yearling squad, next year’s team should better this record.

However, under the guidance of Coach “Babe” Kraus, they later avenged that defeat by winning the remainder of the season’s games. The task of building a winning combination did not prove too difficult, in spite of the loss of Bender, Iorio, Henry, Dougherty, Bowling, and Babcock. The most difficult problem for Coach Kraus was to replace the veteran Bert Dougherty in the nets, bur Sam Clemens proved more than capable of holding down the job. Hobart registered victories over Union, Lafayette, Penn State, and Colgate, only to have their traditional rivals, Cornell and Syracuse, impair their record, the former tying the Orange and Purple and the latter inflicting a 14-7 defeat. [ 109 J STATESMEN WIN OPENER Completely routing and outclassing a valiant ten, Hobart turned the first lacrosse game of the season into a victory march. One goal after another found the crease until the Orange and Purple had amassed twenty-four scores to Lafayette's five. The passwork of the attack was superior, Dill Dobbin tallying eight times while Bill Dickson drove five past the opponent's goalie. HOBART ROUTS UNION TEN Riding on the crest of an unstoppable seventeen-goal drive during the opening half, the Big Orange snared an unexpected victory over Union in their first contest away from • Boswell Field. [110] IV. Dickson, Mulcahy, Dickinson, Grygiel, Alderman, Harter. The outstanding feature of the game was the work of Sam Clemens in the nets. While the new keeper of the nets was giving his excellent performance, Bootay, Dobbin, and Ferris maintained a steady stream of shots, resulting in the record-breaking first half. For the re- mainder of the conflict, the substitutes took up the quarrel. STATESMEN DEFEATED AFTER 13 STRAIGHT Stalling on the bone-crushing Indian defense grounds, Hobart’s famous attack came to grief 14-7- The Syracusans displayed an attack with which the Krausmen could not cope. The Genevans surged ahead with a four-tally rally in the first period to rake the lead 4-3- But with the invading forces completely enmeshed in the web of the defense, Syracuse showed that Hobart is not the only team boasting a fearful attack. [ml CORNELL TIES HOBART Before a large sub-freshman day crowd, Cornell and Hobart fought to a 15-all overtime deadlock. The lead switched ownership four times during the last period; but when the over- time period began, the Statesmen drove in two goals before the Ithacans could register. In a heart-breaking comeback, the Cornellians, with three seconds to play, crashed through to find the net twice. At this the officials decided another overtime would not be necessary to prove the evenness of the contestants. 1112] HOBART TOPPLES PENN STATE Successfully trounced by the Statesmen, the 12-6 shellacing meted out to the Pennsylvanians revealed no indication that the haughty Penn Staters had previously trimmed Syracuse. Sam Clemens was back in his Union-game form, staving off the Penn attack with brilliant saves. The Hobart defense was flawlessly impregnable while the attack again crushed the opposing resistance. All-American Dick Ferris again led the field with six points. [113] COLGATE BOWS IN FINALE Encountering little resistance, the Orange and Purple closed out the short lacrosse season with a trampling 14-2 triumph over Colgate. The Red Raiders were unsuccessful in their many attempts to gain possession of the ball from the Geneva stickmen. Dobbin rammed five scores home to head the scoring. In the closing quarter, seven seniors left the scene of their last Hobart athletic fray amidst tribute-paying cheers from the stands. They were Moore, Harter, Dickinson, Mulcahy, Alderman, and Captain Bootay. Thus ended a successful season of four wins, one reverse and a draw.

Over- coming an early 2 co 1 lead, the Orange and Purple clinched the game with two scores in the final two periods. Herbie Fitch starred for Hobart, scoring two goals, while Roy Weber tallied the final marker. The highlight of the game was the great play of Bob Rode, who taking over the goal from Jim Ellis midway in second period, did not allow the opponents to score the remainder of the game. Football Only a safety prevented Coach Vernon “Chink” Bab- cock’s freshman team from completing an undefeated, untied, unscored-on season. Opening against Aquinas Institute, at Rochester, the Little Orange easily over- powered the local team, 19-2. A well-rounded offense and a brilliant passing attack saw O’Shea toss two touch- down passes to Mack, and score the final touchdown himself co complete the scoring. Against the Manlius cadets, the frosh played inspired ball, running roughshod over their opponents to the tune of 20-0. The aerial attack of O’Shea to Mack was again successful, and the frosh gained their second consecutive victory. A great offensive, featuring the running and passing of Jack O’Shea, and an equally strong defensive, featuring the kicking of Johnny Mack, enabled the frosh to trounce the University of Rochester yearlings 18-0.

[117] NOR M I G O Led by Captain Leo Gry- giel, the Hobart College Golf team finished their season with two wins, two ties, and two losses. Although their record is not impressive, the Orange and Purple divot diggers compiled the best record of any Hobart golf team since the beginning of Hobart participation TENNIS Hobart’s tennis team completed the most successful season in the his- tory of the sport at the college last year, when they won live matches, tied one, and lost one. The team opened the season by traveling to Buffalo, where they lost to the Canisius squad 8-1, in a match that was played indoors. The following week found the University of Rochester racquet wielders arriving at Geneva, but rain curtailed the engagement leaving the score 3-3. The Statesmen then won five successive matches, defeating Buffalo, Niagara, Rochester, Albany State Teachers and Canisius. The team, led by Captain Faunce and strengthened by the addition of two sophomores. Bill Sterling and Mike Bullen, showed a vast im- provement in all of their latter matches. John Cash and Ed Mills, filled the number five and sixth berths and performed with great consistency throughout the season. [ns] R. Adair, J. McCarty, Grygiel, SPORTS L F in intercollegiate golf.

SKIING The Hobart Varsity, captained by Stephen Eaton, opened the season on January 13 at Hamilton, N. Y., to participate in an intercollegiate meet sponsored by Colgate University. The following weekend at Clinton, Hobart lost a close dual contest to Hamilton. In the N. Y. S. I S. A. meet, also held at Clinton on Febru- ary 17, Hobart placed fourth after Cornell, Syracuse and Colgate, and ahead of Hamilton, Union and St. Lawrence. “Chuck Armstrong placed third in the slalom at this meet. An intramural meet at which many members of the faculty and William Smith were present was held on February 24 at Italy Valley. March 29th was the occasion of an interesting contest between the Rochester Outing Club and two Hobart teams representing the Varsity and freshmen. A grand slalom race sponsored by Syracuse at Cardiff, N. Y., in which Hobarr finished last after Syracuse, Cornell and Colgate, termi- nated the season. Two encouraging developments have been the college ski run ac Italy Valley and the organization of a promising freshman team. [ 119] INTRAMURAL TENNIS Hobart’s Annual Fall Tennis Tournament was won by Roger A. Frost of Kappa Alpha Lodge who defeated Calvin B. Faunce, Theta Delta Chi, in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, 6-2. The Kappa Alpha doubles combination of Ster- ling and Frost annexed the doubles title by downing Bullen and Demetriou, 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. The losing doubles combine were both semi-finalists in the singles competition. DEBATING A new trophy and the Intramural Debating Champion- ship were won by the Theta Delta Chi team of William E. Achilles Jr. and William Scott Keith Jr. Upholding the affirmative of the question Resolved: That the Russian invasion of Poland was not justified , Keith and Scott defeated the neutral team of Ponturo and Emmons in the final round of the tourney. SINGING For the fourth consecutive year the members of the Kappa Alpha Society carried off the Griswold Memorial Cup, emblematic of the singing championship of the college, at the annual Inter-fraternity Songfest held this past fall. Kappa Alpha has won the cup every year with the exception of last year, when they shared the trophy with Sigma Chi. VOLLEYBALL Sigma Chi added to their rapidly mounting list of trophies when they won the Intramural Volleyball crown in the fall tournament. Paced by Bootay and Cozzens, the Sig Chis survived a rough schedule, sub- duing the threat of the Kappa Sigma team to win the title. The faculty entered a team in the league this year, and won a majority of their games.

PIM Mr. Pim George Marden Olivia Marden Dinah Brian Strange Aunt Julia PASSES BY” Robert E. Wright Daniel H. Gray Florence Hovey Betty Allsop Joseph G. Hall Roberta Bennett Under the masterful guidance of Edward B. Partridge, Acting Director of Dramatics, and with the aid of his capable staff', the Little Theatre presented two three-act plays this season. Succeeding John Balderston’s “Berkeley Square” which was pre- sented at Commencement last spring, A. A. Milne’s “Mr. Pirn Passes By” was chosen as the season’s first play. Considered a slow-moving, stodgy English high comedy, “Mr. Pirn Passes By” as presented by the Little Theatre, proved to be more than entertaining to an audience whose realization that the story of Mr. Pirn might easily have been an occurrence in their own lives, was effectively prompted by the capable acting of the entire cast. “A Bill of Divorcement”, the next play to be presented was, as Robert M. Lovett wrote after the play’s American premiere in 1921 “first of all a problem play . . . offering a leading chal- [ 12S ] THEATRE lenge to the higher criticism of drama in which a situation is created bristling with intellectual and moral implications.” However Clemence Dane’s theme of divorce was received with only moderate enthusiasm by an audience who were not aware of the many hazards the patient director and loyal members had to forego prior to the presentation of the play. “A Bill of Divorcement” is to be presented on Commencement Day and thereby will carry on the Little Theatre’s precedent of repeating the major production of the season on that eventful day. Prior to this, three one act plays will be presented early in May. The officers of the group this year were Edward J. Enright, Presi- dent, Florence Hovey, Vice-President, Dorothy Haight, Secre- tary, James Parker Hunn, Business Manager and Treasurer. Robert H. Ford and H. Edmond Wirrz head the production staff. “A BILL OF DIVORCEMENT” Hilary Fairfield . Robert E. Wright Margaret Fairfield Constance Plummer Sydney Fairfield .

Milne's 'Mr. Pirn Passes By' was a distinct success, applauded vigorously by its patrons. .... Hobart Herald Nov. 9. Robert Wright's notable interpretation of the difficult, important role of Pint was excellent, while Roberta Bennett's vital creation of Aunt Julia and Daniel H. Gray’s masterful charac- terization of George Marden rendered the play as a whole a definite success. The stage-setting, lighting and cos- tuming were convincingly natural and contributed greatly to the finesse of the characters' acting. [ DO] ’Wright Hit: Play Moderate’’ Perceptibly unenthusiastic response greeted the Hobart Little Theatre's moderately successful pro- duction of Cletnence Dane's somewhat dated three act problem ' A Bill of Divorcement', at its premiere last Tuesday evening in Coxe Hall. .... Hobart Herald March 7. Robert F. Wright was easily the highlight of the production. His mastery of the role of Hilary Fairfield was complete and excellently sustained, and at the second act curtain as he pleaded desperately at Margaret's feet he was superb. Roberta Bennett’s never faltering characterization of the straight-laced Victorian character of Aunt Hester together with William M. Sterling’s sympathetically humorous acting of the role of Kit Pumphrey led the well chosen supporting cast. THE HOBART HERALD, college news organ for all students, is the oldest continuous news- paper in Geneva, having been founded in 1879 as a monthly periodical and having become a regular weekly in 1913- It enjoys, also, the reputation of being one of the oldest collegiate papers in the United States. Among the innovations of the Hobart Herald this year was the policy of taking a student poll every month concerning important issues confronting Hobart men. Such topics as College Chapel attendance, Hitlerism and the New Deal were discussed in these polls. Under progres- sive Editor Paul B. Townsend, the Herald, in addition, instituted forums on current events, quizzes, student reforms, and a cross-word puzzle in its pages this year. In its sixty-first year, the paper is published every Thursday and brings to the students and faculty alike campus news, liberal discussions, and novelties that help to bind the Hobart family closer together. New columns, together with varied faculty commentaries and photography, contributed great- ly to one of the most successful seasons the Herald has seen in many a vear.

Back last fall ft) resume their oratorical endeavors were most of the veterans of last season’s team. These men, topped by Captain Daniel Gray and supported byjim Wilson, President of Tau Kappa Alpha, and George Demetriou, together with several new aspirants, confined chemselves for the most part during the first semester to discussions of a few current national questions. Panel discussions together with round table forums, numbering twenty-six in all, constituted the program during this semester. Different members appeared before various organizations in nearby towns, discussing several topics of current interest, such as, American Foreign Policy and Roosevelt's third term aspirations. A debate with Keuka College was the only competition held during the first term. Intensive preparation on phases of American Foreign Policy occupied the members upon their return for the second semester. The nation-wide Pi Kappa Delta question, “Resolved: That the United States should follow a policy of strict economic and military isolation toward all belligerents outside the western hemisphere engaged in armed or civil conflict’’ was con- [134] Debate sideree!. Several teams both affirmative and negative were then active in intercollegiate de- bates concerning the correct procedure for America in war time. A trip to New England featured the competitive program high-lighted bv a distinctive cross-examination style of debate with Middlebury College. A three man affirmative combina- tion consisting of Capt. Gray, Wilson and Frost made this journey. Many more debates both decision and non-decision were held with other colleges. Included on the intercollegiate program were encounters with Rochester, Alfred, Rutgers, Nazareth, Dayton, Niagara and Allegheny. A trip to St. Lawrence was made by one of the negative groups Middlebury and Skidmore were included on the New England journey. The schedule was completed with tilts at Hartwick and Houghton. Advocating a strict policy of isolation for the United States were Captain Gray, Frost, Robinson and Waterman. Upholding the negative during the year were Demetriou, Wilson, Newbury and Stevens.

NIVEN AN INTERCOLLEGE ORCHESTRA, the Col- lege Sinfonia has steadily been assuming its place as a leading musical organi- zation on the campus since its establishment in 1937. The group this year has increased to twenty-four members and now has full instrumen- tation for all choirs of an orchestra. The Sinfonia replaces the band in the second semester and rehearsals are held once a week. CONSISTING this year of forty-eight men, the marching band was active throughout the entire football season, appearing at all home games and at Rochester. The band also officially partici- pated ar the ‘’Beat Rochester” banquet held in Coxe Hall prior to Hobart’s traditional contest with the Yellowjackets. Under the direction of a new conductor, Mr. William Hahn, the members showed more interest and enthusiasm this year, while the marching, under the continued guidance of Mr. Thomas Comisky, remained at its previous high level. At the Rochester game the band again outmarched its “op- ponents” by spelling out the entire name “Hobart” in flank movements, letter by letter. The practice of combined maneuvers instituted four years ago was revived; the Rochester band forming a rrylon and the Hobart band a perisphere with files rotating in contrary motion. This year six men were awarded the Senior gold keys; thirteen men were awarded letters for three years service; and seventeen first year men received their numerals. Under the able leader- l 136 GANIZATION ONIA Concert Master LAURENCE G. ROTH ship of Mr. Niven they have soared to new musi- cal heights this year.

THE HOBART CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, open to any student for membership regard- less of religious sect, is successfully carrying out the religious ideals of the student body. Various conferences have been attended throughout the year, and the meeting of the New York State Student Christian Movement at Cornell in October was an inspiring success. A Freshman party in the fall was followed by a barn dance late in October, held for the benefit of Chinese Students. A large group attended the dinner of the Bishop's Men in the Diocese of Rochester early in the first semester. Father Alan Whittemore, Superior O.H.C., spent two days on the campus, discussing the place of monastic life in the world of today. Several mem- bers of the association have spoken in Chapel this year, and the Compline Services were con- ducted by the students during Lent. From time to time, the Chaplain has met the group at his home, where timely topics have been discussed with an air of informality. The second Mid- Winter formal held in January was such a success that popular opinion determined that it is to be an annual event. [138] International Relations Club President PAUL B.

Students interested in national and international affairs are pledged during the Moving-Up Day exercises. The programs revolve around various discussions of current importance, stu- dent forums and lectures by various members of the faculty. On March 28 through the thirtieth, representatives from twenty-six colleges and uni- versities in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania met at Hobart and William Smith Colleges for the fourteenth annual session of the Model League Assembly. The purpose of the conference, which was this year named The Preparatory World Peace Conference, was to attempt to arrive at a set of principles which will be the basis of a perma- nent peace. It is hoped that the conclusions arrived at by a group of college students may have some effect on the settlement of the complex world confusion. FOURTH ROW: Cash, Cary, Knights. THIRD ROW D.

I 139 1 CLUBS SCIENCE CLUB Entirely a student organization with no faculty advisers, the Hobart Science Club has been in exist- ence for several years. There are no eligibility rules governing entrance into this organization except that the candidate must attend at least two meetings before being approved. The bi-monthly meetings of the club, presided over by President Stephen W. Eaton, were devoted to ad- dresses by prominent lecturers or discussions of scientific interest led by members of the club. SIGMA PHI ALPHA Under the able guidance of Dr. Boswell, the Sigma Phi Alpha Philosophy Club this year has reached a new high in organizing discussions of current philo- sophical ideas. The underlying principle of the Philosophy of Nazism was the subject dealt with dur- ing the year. All pledges of the club gave short talks on their philosophies of life. These were followed by open discussions on the particular philosophies ex- pounded. Later this year. Sigma Phi Alpha hopes to have a joint meeting with the Colgate Philosophy Club. The President this year was Alvin S. Bullen. LE CERCLE FRANCA IS The French Club has one of the most varied pro- grams on the campus. At one of its early meetings the members were treated to an art lecture. Later in the year a discussion of the European situation with special emphasis on France was held. This was fol- lowed by a French musical program. Early in the second semester the club entertained the College community at a Soiree de Montmartre” at which the play Rosalie” was the feature. Charles E. Kaufman presided as President throughout the year. MATH CLUB Brief talks on the history of the science of numbers have featured the meetings of the Mathematics Club this year. One of the mathematician's attractions last semester was a trip to Brook's Observatory to study the heavens. Numerous problems of a mathematical nature have been worked out during the course of the year. Dean Durfee and Dr. Hubbs opened their homes at various times for the informal gatherings. John H. Cozzens has presided as President for the past year. 4 • [ HO] CLUBS PHI SIGMA IOTA Phi Sigma Iota, Romance Language Honor Society which installed a new chapter, Phi Eta, at Hobart and William Smith Colleges early in February, was founded in 1922 at Allegheny College. The purposes of the society are to recognize outstanding ability and attainment in romance languages and literatures, to stimulate interest and individual research in the held, and to promote international amity between those nations using Romance Languages. OUTING CLUB In its second year the Outing Club has assumed a very formidable place in New York State skiing circles with several of the members having participated in intercollegiate ski meets. George Ashmun is now Secretary-Treasurer of the New York State Inter- collegiate Skiing Association. Before winter snows a suitable ski trail was chosen about 28 miles southwest of Geneva. It consists of a 900 foot descent and a half mile trail, at the bottom of which is a skier’s cabin. An intramural ski meet was held there late in February with 38 men participating. Seymour F. Rappoport emerged as Hobart Skiing champion. An informal victrola dance at the Kappa Alpha Lodge completed the program for the season. NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club is an organization of Catholic students of secular and non-Catholic colleges and universities. The group was founded at Hobart in 1938 and is a member of the Newman Club Foundation. Throughout the year are held a series of discussions, social activities and communion breakfasts. This spring Hobart will have the Province Con- vention of twenty-five colleges. The club sponsors a monthly paper, The Newman Echo. President Rocco L. Fiaschetti held meetings at St. Stephens Church where Father Nolan served as Chap- lain and adviser to the group. DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN Der Deutsche Verein, with Richmond R. Wiechert as its President, has as its primary purpose the stimu- lation of interest in German culture, art, folk lure and language. Several lectures on German subjects were given throughout the year. These, intermingled with the singing of German songs and a varied social pro- gram, served to entertain the members. There was a gala German party at Christmas, also a waltz party later in the second semester. The season was climaxed by a dinner at the “Old Heidelberg in Pittsford. [141] Since THOMAS MANN’s stirring address at the 1939 Commencement exercises, a sequence of dis- tinguished and learned lecturers has come before Hobart audiences. Their subjects have ranged from fascism to Hollywood, from Spanish Art to British imperialism, from war to music. Eminent psychiatrist EUGENE L. SWAN, urg- ing his audience to strive for an education of the emotions, said, If you seek success in life or in love, cultivate emotional security”. Amidst a flurry of comment and interest, former communist GRANVILLE HICKS came to Coxe Hall November 10 to lecture on revolutionaries Lincoln Steffens and John Reed. Having found conclusions, Steffens and Reed were ready to act. It is to that tradition that I hope to belong. A week later pacifist KIRBY PAGE, V. C. was a visitor on the Geneva campus. It was his forceful conclusion that Christianity and war are irreconcil- ably incongruous. Following a lecture on Spanish Art by DR. CARL HERSEY of the University of Rochester, the eminent Hindu feminist MME. KAMALA- DEVI demanded that Britain relinquish the white man's burden and return democracy to India’s citizens now held in imperialist bondage”. Lawrence Kirby Page, V.C. SPEAKERS Denni r The inside slant on Hollywood where bath- tubs are lined with ermine and where every home has a swimming pool filled daily with champagne, a dash of Seltzer and an orange peel - was given by Dartmouth English professor WILLIAM B. PRESSEY. Prof. Muirheid lured his Columbia University classmate JOHN ERSKINE, noted author and critic, to his classes in drama and composition for informal talks on the art of writing. Guest recitalists HOPE MILLER, soprano, and JOHN KIRKPATRICK, pianist, attracted large numbers to Chase Hall for classroom discussions of modern music. In the same liberal spirit that brought Mr. Hicks to the platform, LAWRENCE DENNIS was in- vited to interpret The Coming American Fas- cism on March 7. He predicted both war and national socialism for the United States. European Quakers of the War was the subject of a lecture March 14 by London's CARLIN CAPPER-JOHNSON, who asserted that war- time aid to civilians should not be determined by race, creed or color.

THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS since 1925 has been following a new, highly satisfactory technique for selecting suitable men for training for the Corps and its Reserve. A picked body of regular officers choose from those colleges throughout the country whose standards warranted the attention of the Marine Corps Reserve, men who have the essential qualities to become members of the Platoon Leaders Class, held in the summer for six weeks at Quantico, Virginia. Since 1937, Hobart has sent men to Quantico. Here, the students re- ceive training in military discipline and tactics, leading to a commission as a Second Lieuten- ant in the United States Marine Corps or the Reserve. All sophomores of good scholastic standing and physical condition may become appli- cants for receiving this military training. This is the smallest, most efficient branch of the military service of the United States. The Hobart quota for this year is five candidates and one alternate. I 144 ] DIARY Sept. 6. Parole ends.
