Hewar . Hew Jersey P RE F AC E A n the light of the present conflict we find that some of the members of the class of 1944 are found prematurely in the far corners of the globe; some have seen the day of graduation; others are to see it in the near future. Time and again, no mat- ter where we are, we all look back on the years spent at our Alma Mater — the years the 1944 Epitome hopes to keep alive in our memories, the story of Lehigh and the part it has played in our lives in this crucial period. Many privations have come across our path in the publica- tion of the record of our days at Lehigh in one of the most trying and difficult times in her history. We feel, however, that the purpose has been accomplished — that the 1944 Epitome will long help to keep alive those memories which are close to the hearts of the men whom Lehigh has sent forth into the world.

XL r ' U. THE WAR YEARS He had been lying across his bed, dozing, on that quiet Sunday after- noon when someone shouted into the room and said that a guy on the radio said Pearl Harbor was being bombed. He didn ' t now where Pearl Harbor was but he new that the news must mean that somebody was starting a war with us. Suddenly he got a queer feeling that the world in which he had been living only a few seconds ago had just disappeared forever and that he was in some strange new md of existence. It was an un- comfortable feeling; so he quic ly got up to join the bull-session that he new the news would start. y)N DECEMBER 7, 1941, the United States began to change and Lehigh began I y to change with it. The national phases came rather slowly because the country was in a stupor for weeks after the paralyzing shock of Pearl Harbor. Lehigh was shocked too. But there was no mass hysteria, no rushing to recruiting offices. The men were excited, of course, and they rushed around quite a bit, but all their rushing was done in circles, the same circles that everyone else rushed in in those days — that is, everyone except those in the Philippines who were too busy to get excited. The first war casualties at Lehigh were the quizzes that had been scheduled for the Monday and Tuesday following the Pearl Harbor attack. Most professors were of the opinion that the student body was far too excited to take quizzes, and most students believed that the faculty was far too excited to make them up. Keep cool, was the keynote of messages from President Williams and Dean Congdon which appeared in the Tuesday issue of the Brown and White. Wilkes McClave, president of Arcadia, urged that Lehigh men continue with business as usual. It seemed that everyone expected the student body to do something rash — like resigning from school in a body and enlisting in the Marines. However, according to a survey made by the Brown and White a few days after the start of the war, only seven men had definitely decided to leave college and enlist. The remainder of the students were fighting within themselves to decide the question of just what their duty was. For a few days the feeling of We ' ll crush Japan within a month swept over the campus as it did over the rest of America, but soon the big, black headlines about Official U. S. Navy Photograph [10] THE WAR . strange places no one had heard of since his eighth grade geography days drove home the grim reality that America was taking a beating and that a great national effort would be necessary to turn defeat into eventual victory. What ' s this I ' ve been hearing about the J avy ' s having a special reserve for engineering students? Sure, they let you graduate and then give you a commission. Say, that sounds swell. Sorta ills two birds with one stone. C HE WELL-KNOWN human desire to have one ' s cake and eat it too was illus- trated in the great interest that all American college students showed in the various Army and Navy reserve programs, the first of which appeared about the middle of December, 1941, and which was very similar to the present V-7 set-up. More than 175 junior and senior engineers at Lehigh began to investigate its possibili- ties. At first glance a reserve of this kind seemed to be just what most normal fellows were looking for. Almost everyone felt a deep pain inside of him when he read of the Japs taking one island after another, pushing MacArthur back to Bataan and hoisting their flag in Manila. Everyone wanted to help. But it ' s not easy for a man to drop his education after having sweated blood to pass Math 106, having burned the midnight oil for years over physics and heat engines and organic chemistry and strength of materials. It ' s not easy for a man to walk away from an education that his parents have saved for years to give him or that he ' s worked full shifts at Steel to get — even if he does walk into the service of his country. Yes, sir, the college reserve program of the Navy looked good and so did advanced R.O.T.C. Most fellows thought these units offered a chance to fulfill two seemingly conflicting desires. ¥ _ 4 M ■ it J .i, w flU uto XX- ' ' ' ■ ■■ SaHL -. fc lfJ La = ■ i m. ■= -, —. ■ 1 -?; r: s rH : - , • ,•-■ H THE WAR . War affected the faculty, too. Ever since America had changed its status of neu- trality to one of non-belligerency men in the engineering faculty, specially in the me- .. chanical engineering department, had been slipping away into the armed forces or into defense industries. Dr. Adelbert Ford, former head of the psychology depart- K ment, was the first faculty member to leave after Pearl Harbor, reporting to the Navy in the latter part of December, 1941. ry} Almost a year before the war began, Captain Benjamin Mesick, then an assist- ant professor of military science and tactics and now a colonel and the commanding officer of one of the Army ' s largest ordnance depots in California, and Professor Harold V. Anderson of the chemistry department began discussing the possibilities of using X-rays for certain types of tests on metals used in the manufacture of gun parts. The more they discussed the idea, the more they felt that they might be on the trail of something useful. Through the efforts of Captain Mesick, the Frankford Arsenal became interested in the plan; and a few months before Pearl Harbor officers at the Arsenal suggested that the National Defense Research Committee inaugurate an investi- gation of the foregoing idea, with the result that the Council established a research project at Lehigh under the War Metallurgy Committee with Anderson as Technical Representative. At the outset, the N.D.R.C. project staff consisted of Charles W. Tucker, investigator; G. Douglas Nelson, investigator; Dr. Max Petersen of the Phys- ics department, investigator; Dr. C. E. Stoops, of the chemical engineering depart- ment, investigator; Dr. Joseph B. Reynolds as special consultant in mathematics; and Professor Anderson as technical representative of N.D.R.C. A Lehigh alumnus, Lt. Col. C. H. Greenall, chief of the Frankford ordnance laboratories, acted as liaison officer for the project which is being carried on in such a hush-hush atmosphere that at this time only its title, Residual Stresses in Cold-Drawn Non-ferrous Alloys: An X-ray study, can be released. Although the work started almost from scratch and progressed slowly for many months, enough headway had been made by the summer of 1942 that two X-ray dif- fraction units of the newest type as well as other pieces of special equipment were bought for the project. In the spring of 1944, both Professor Anderson and Dr. L. L. Wyman, General Electric research metallurgist, who is the present N.D.R.C. research supervisor, feel for this reason that the work has progressed far enough to be not only a valuable contribution to the war effort but that it will uncover new uses for the X-ray in post-war industry. I hear they ' re going to cut out houseparty this spring. J law, they wouldn ' t dare. There ' d be a stri e or something. 1 HE BOYS came back from their first wartime Christmas holidays to be greeted by an official announcement that there would be no houseparty that spring, and the Brown and White editorially agreed with General Sherman ' s famous statement about war but expressed a confidence that houseparty was not yet dead and that the forces of righteousness would eventually triumph. Meanwhile the Japanese W. H. Chandler Chemistry Building; G. D. Nelson; C. E. Stoops [13] . EPITOME _ . captured a few dozen more islands and MacArthur was writing Bataan beside such names as Bunker Hill (a battle which we also lost, by the way, in a military sense) in American history books. At about the same time, a plan of acceleration was inaugu- rated that would enable a man to take three semesters per year instead of the usual two by foregoing his summer vacati on. The plan was at the time entirely voluntary, and student opinion was sharply divided on acceleration. Some felt that even though the draft seemed far away at the time (two students who were drafted in February of ' 42 got their pictures in the Brown and White and were rare specimens indeed), it might soon become a factor to be dealt with and that bringing graduation a few few months closer wouldn ' t be a bad idea. The other school of thought maintained that no student could stay sane at Lehigh for more than two consecutive semesters. Besides, they argued, plenty of men need the summer vacation to earn their tuition for the next year. So the question of acceleration became a big topic for bull-session orators, rival- ling even the war, which had by this time become a rather unpleasant topic. Lehigh men were no different from other Americans in that they had been raised on the doctrine of the invincibility of the American soldier even when he was outnumbered ten to one and had no air support. But in the meantime, the Japanese had captured Singapore, a feat that military experts had declared impossible. Lehigh men had been accustomed to see re-enforcements appear at the last minute, as they always do in the movies. But no re-enforcements appeared on Bataan to save the day. It seemed im- possible that we should keep losing. It was just as though the sun had failed to rise one morning; reality had been contradicted. Or had it? Some of the boys began to wonder just what was real after all. They became more pensive, a little morose just as the rest of America became that winter. That February the administration relented and approved a spring houseparty. They also called off finals for the current semester, but warned that the move was not a permanent one. At the same time, t he Navy announced its famous V-l program. Soon everyone on the campus had stocked up with pamphlets and had become an ex- pert on the program ' s physical requirements and the opportunities it offered to com- plete one ' s education. In the spring of 1942 some fellows who said they were expendable took an oversized motorboat called a PT boat and got General MacArthur, who had proven to be anything but expendable, off Bataan. The lift given the public by MacArthur ' s res- cue was offset only a few weeks later by the fall of Bataan and Corregidor and the announcement that thousands of Americans had been taken prisoner. A pall of gloom spread over the country and civilian morale hit its low mark for the entire war. Some people sought comfort in the fact that their friends and relatives on the Philippines were only prisoners and still alive, for at that time it was thought that it was better to be a Japanese prisoner than to be dead. Say, Harry, I hear you ' re going to be drafted. T aw, just an idle rumor. The University is going to as for a 2A deferment for me since I ' m an engineer. That should fix things. I guess that means all of us engineers will he able to graduate. [14] THE WAR • ?N MARCH, 1942, just as the University J announced it would request deferment for all engineers and science majors in good standing, it was revealed that the number within the charmed circle of goodstandmg had fallen to a new low. During the fall semes- ter Lehigh men as a whole had been able to bring out only an unimpressive 1.88 average, and mid-semester reports of the following term brought valentines to no less than 46 per- cent of the student body. Although the scho lastic tailspin brought the usual amount of viewing with alarm no one was very surprised. At that time no one could be expected to con- centrate on books with a war going on. E. D. Amstutz The Navy began to publicize its V pro- grams. These posters are still to be seen around the campus showing a young naval officer (wholooks like a fugitive from a collar ad) ing the advice Look before you leap. The Brown and White published many pages of information about enlistment in the various Navy reserves. Lehigh men were im- pressed by the reasonableness of the look before you leap proposition, which re- ferred of course to the idea of quitting school and enlisting. Consequently, the number of men leaving by the enlistment route — the route that many thought such a large proportion of the student body would take immediately after Pearl Harbor that the University would be left a hollow shell — amounted to an infinitesimal fraction of the enrollment. While many men decided to take the Navy up on its offer about finishing their educations in a reserve status more preferred to take their chances with the draft. Dean Congdon announced in May of that year that freshmen and sophomores need not expect deferment even if they were engineers. This troubled the frosh and sophs but little, however, since most of them were only 18 or 19 and hence had no draft worries until their 20th birthday by which time they would be juniors with a good chance for deferment. The pinch of the wartime paper shortage caused the Brown and White to adopt its present tabloid size at the beginning of the optional summer semester in 1942. Only 658 men (at that time about one-half of the enrollment) chose to fight it out on the South Mountain line all summer, the rest preferring temporary jobs that would fill pockets and soothe frayed nerves. Donald Nelson, War Production Board head, addressed the old grads at their annual gathering held that June. The alumni made this, their last reunion for the duration, a memorable affair climaxed by the usual colorful parade, a phenomenon unfamiliar to all but a few students. [15] . EPITOME - f I wonder what the idea is of having IS- and 9-year-old J(ids register for - f the draft. Q Don ' t worry about it. They probably want you guys to register H so they can draft you as air raid wardens or something. )N JUNE 30, the 18-20 year-olds signed up with Uncle Sam so that the old f J gentleman would know how many youngsters were available for home guard duty or some similar occupation. Thus, the draft card passed out of use as a cre- dential for buying a drink at bars where they were cautious about serving minors. The chemistry department hummed with war work that summer. Professor A. A. Diefenderfer, the inimitable Dief, went to work for the Navy analyzing copper castings. Dr. Robert H. Lafferty was doing research on a war project for DuPont and Dr. Frank Fornoff was at the Pratt- Whitney plant for some time doing paint re- search. The Alien Property Custodian called in Professor Edwin Theis, the leather authority, to look over some plants they had confiscated from Axis owners. Gosh, those Nfivy guys oo snappy. Do they always march to their classes li e that? Sure. It ' s a great thing. A springing of uniforms and some march- ing tones up the appearance of the campus. j HE MECHANICAL engineering department began its Diesel engine courses for naval officers in the spring of 1941, thus becoming the first branch of the Univ ersity to do educational work for the armed services. Even before this, as long before the war as 1939, the mechanical engineering department had been utilized by the government for a sort of indirect military training in the form of the Civilian Aeronautic Authority flying program. The CAA courses continued until the summer of 1942, and in July of that year a contingent of 30 V-5 trainees moved in to take an 8-week flight course similar to the CAA program. During the summer they lived in Price Hall which was vacant due to the small summer semester enrollment. However, at the start of the fall term, they were shifted to Taylor Gym. The fliers left early in 1943 at about the same time the diesel program, which kept 25 ensigns at Lehigh, was discontinued. Besides doing educational work for the Navy, the mechanical engineering de- partment has also carried on quite a bit of research of a highly secret nature for them. Ever since Pearl Harbor, Packard laboratory has been visited intermittently by officers carrying documents inside of four envelopes. Everything is on a strictly secret basis and all the precautions that one might expect to find only in an E. Phillips Op- penheim spy story are being taken. Not only the Navy but also the Army, more specifically, the Frankford Arsenal, is getting the benefit of the particular brand of know-how found in Packard lab as Professor Caleb Stuart is being employed as a thermodynamics consultant by the Arsenal.

Whv, even if they should call you, you ' d he sent to Officers Candidate School. ' ULY OF 1942 is notable in that it marked the first appearance of that imporant character The Army Enlisted Reserve Corps, or ERC, in the Lehigh drama. Like the Navy programs, it did not attract many upperclassmen, many of whom were already Army reservists through advanced ROTC; but its appeal to the fresh- men, arts and business men for whom the University could not request deferment, and especially to the then sub-freshmen to whom information concerning the pro- gram had been sent during the summer, was considerable. Certain cautious characters began to pencil into the ERC after the look before you leap of the Navy posters. The relative peace and quiet of the summer term was shattered in mid-September, 1942, by the arrival of over six hundred members of what was then termed the class of 1946 almost all of whose survivors are now in the June ' 4? group. As Lehigh ' s largest entering class it taxed campus housing facilities to overflowing and spilled over into the rooming houses of South Bethlehem. When Arcadia president Bob Whipple introduced Dean Neil Carothers to the freshmen at a meeting held in Packard auditorium during rush week, he mentioned that the dean would soon be heard over a nationwide radio hook-up in a debate on the question of lowering the draft age from 20 to 18. Everyone laughed. The war seemed very far from Lehigh during those warm autumn days. Fra- ternities announced the pledging of 291 men, the largest number since the gay days of 1924. All four dormitories were filled to capacity, and the campus swarmed with brown-tied-and-socked freshmen wearing those brown caps with white numbers that one still sees worn now and then on rainy days. The first pep rally of the year spon- sored by the sophomore class packed Grace Hall to the doors. Peculiar rites accom- panied by strange chant ing concerning whales were performed almost nightly in Tay- lor Quad. . . . College life was going full blast. C 5 [17] THE WAR • Things began to look better over the country that fall, 1942. The almost legend- ary Field Marshal Rommel and his Afnka Korps had been handed their first setback after the supermen had pushed almost to the suburbs of Alexandria and were motoring hurriedly across the desert in search of a good place to make a stand against the pursuing British. News about an island called Guadalcanal had filtered back to America, and although the full story of how the Marines had exterminated the little brown brothers with cold steel was not known at that time, people felt that Guadal- canal symbolized the turning of the tide in the Pacific and that it was the first step on the road to Tokyo. People felt better than at any time since Pearl Harbor. Some even thought the war might be over soon since Japan could see that their cause was a hopeless one. But 940 guys signed that petition. They ' ll have to call off classes the day of the Yale game. Listen, sonny, the University wouldn ' t call off Saturday classes un- less the armistice had been signed the previous day. INCE NO armistice with either Germany or Japan came, classes were held as _N usual the day of the Lehigh-Yale football game. The faculty turned down the huge petition to which 940 assorted students, bartenders at Kinney ' s and fraternity dogs had signed their marks, but this deterred only a few from making the pilgrimage to New Haven. And the fact that the Brown and White eleven, after put- ting up a dogged fight for the first half, succumbed in the later periods due to lack of reserve strength, hardly dampened the enthusiasm of Lehigh rooters, who felt sure that this would be the year that Lafayette blood would run red on Fisher Field. In many ways the Yale game marked Lehigh ' s last big splurge of extra-curricular college life for the duration of the war. With the exception of the trip to Easton for the Lafayette fracas, the Yale game was the last time most of the men were ever to make a trip with their team and have a big football weekend. Except for the brilliant and decisive victory scored over the Easton police department later that season the Yale excursion marked the most vigorous display of school spirit seen at Lehigh in a long time. Hundreds of students jammed the railroad station at the ghastly hour of six in the morning to give their team a spirited send-off for the Yale trip. Going to the big pow-wow over at Grace Hall? Yeah, I ' m a little confused about this reserve business but this should clear things up pretty well. C HE ENTIRE ROTC regiment in uniform marched into Grace Hall that brisk October morning in 1942 to hear — with practically all the rest of the Univer- sity — representatives of the Army, Navy, and Marines disseminate information, much of which was later found to be somewhat erroneous, concerning their various reserve plans. No doubt, this meeting caused a great many men who had previously We pay no toll tonight!; Getting pushed around; Serenading Moravian; Oh the eagles they fly high at Lafayette! [19] . EPITOME ■ - been on the fence concerning the reserve question to sign up within the next few Tf days. Possibly the fact that Congress lowered the draft age to 18 the same week also Q had some effect. At any rate, a Brown and White poll taken a few days later revealed y—t that 1,095 Lehigh men were already reservists or contemplated joining soon. It made him feel gladder than he ' d felt in the past eleven months when he heard the news come over the radio that Saturday night that the Amer- icans had landed in Africa. He new that now America was on the road to victory. But he was to realize before long that the road was uphill — all the way. (SUCCESSES BY the Army in North Africa (and by the Lehigh football team — } in Bethlehem) served to keep the student body ' s morale high that fall. House- party was at its hugest since the time Harry James was here, as 912 girls moved in for the event. Dark clouds were gathering on the horizon in the direction of Washington, however, as army enlistments were closed and it was officially an- nounced that members of the ERC would not get the automatic tickets to Officers ' Candidate School they had been led to expect. The closing of enlistments caused no little conjecture about the possibility of the calling of army reservists in the near fu- ture. While most quarters expressed confidence that a large percentage of the ERC would be allowed to complete its collective education, Navy and Marine guards said they felt a lot closer to their degrees. Oh, the eagles they fly high, Lafayette! FTER THE usual week of wood-gathering and dorm-guarding by the fresh- f- J men (including one rather large-scale raid on the Lafayette campus which resulted in a night in the Easton jail for a few unfortunates) the pre-Lafa- yette pep rally, bonfire, pajama parade and serenade to the Fem-Sem inmates all came off in the appropriate grand style that was befitting to the last of such festivities for the duration. On the following afternoon the entire student body (and that is almost without exaggeration) jammed the Lehigh side of Fisher Field in Easton and screamed for a favored Brown and White eleven to avenge the defeats of the several preceding years. Lehigh rooters had not come expecting to be satisfied with a tie, but they were glad to get it, since the final gun sounded with the Maroon on the Engineers ' one-foot line. At the close of the game, the Lehigh stands rose as one man : they had but one thought — the Lafayette goal posts. And neither the board fence nor the cordon of police- men that surrounded the field was able to do more than delay the spirited charge. In a moment they swept across the field, overcame the resistance of the Lafayette men, pulled down the uprights and carried them back to the stands in triumph for com- plete dismemberment. They weren ' t aware of it at the time, but as those fellows pulled those pieces of wood apart in the late afternoon of that gray November day they were also ringing down the curtain on Joe College. [20] THE WAR Pac ard Laboratory Williams Hall What? They ' ve stopped enlistments again! FTER ARMY enlistments had been stopped and then re-opened the previous T- J month, an order from Washington closed them permanently just one year after Pearl Harbor. This action indicated to almost everyone that the ERC did not have much remaining time in civilian life. A great many men began to feel the same way Pavlov ' s dog must have felt when, after becoming accustomed to the ringing of a bell as a signal for mealtime, he received an electric shock after the sounding of the same bell. They felt that they had been deceived. Perhaps someone did deceive them or perhaps they had even deceived themselves. At any rate, the word shaft not being used in connection with monoliths was heard quite frequently during thoes days. On December 18 the Army officially announced that the days of the ERC were numbered but would only reveal that the extent of the numbers depended on the date on which the college in question ended its current semester. Directives poured in stating that each countermanded all previous orders. Campus wags said that the ERC would be called on the first full moon preceding St. Patrick ' s Day if the college ' s semester ended on an even numbered day and the president ' s name contained more than five letters. Even though the announcements did create some confusion concerning the exact date on which the reservists would be called up, they did end the long period of tense confusion that had been fostered by the question of whether or not they would be called at all. Everyone felt tremendously relieved — not particularly gay — but relieved. [21] . EPITOME t - Just before the Christmas holidays of that year, Admissions Director E. Kenneth tJ- Smiley shocked the interfraternity council with the statement that the war might mean q the end of fraternity life at Lehigh and in fact at all American colleges since the gov- i— I ernment was planning a large educational program for Army and Navy personnel at colleges that would require the use of all fraternity houses as well as dormitories for barracks. It had been known for a long time that the Navy planned to use colleges for their V programs, but this was the first inkling of a similar Army-sponsored plan. And so the boys went home to what for many of them was to be their last wartime Christmas in civilian clothes. Welding research The following men will report to Fort Meade, Maryland — . (SHORTLY AFTER the opening of the spring semester, 28 members of the ERC, - mostly arts and business men, were called to active duty. For a day or so, engi- neers began to wonder if perhaps the Army wasn ' t going to keep them in school after all because of their curriculum. Such hopes were shortlived, however, as just four days later, on February 9, the axe fell and 95 more reservists got their or- ders. The biggest, most ' suspenseful drama in Lehigh history had ended. That week- end Kinney ' s, the ' Chor, the Tally-Ho and many other similar establishments were the scenes of numerous farewell parties given by various living groups in honor of the departing heroes, most of whom were freshmen. Almost simultaneously came an announcement from Washington that Lehigh had been selected as an Army school and would be used in the newly-conceived Army Specialized Training Program. This came to somewhat of a shock to a num- ber of amateur crystal-gazers who considered the Navy diesel and flying programs here an indication that Lehigh would be used for one of the V setups. [22] THE WAR • This announcement, of course, set the stage for another welter of speculation. This |_ time the topics of discussion were the date of the Army ' s arrival, the number of men to be stationed here, if they would take regular civilian courses, if they would be al- lowed to play football, etc. As usual, rumors flew thick and fast. r As their roommates and lab partners were being called to the colors, Lehigh men 3 had occasion to mourn the death of a man who had done a great deal for football £ } on the South Mountain. George Hoban, ' 15, had piloted Lehigh through a brief period of gridiron prominence. His passing was almost simultaneous with the passing of the period during which football reigned as one of the major factors in college life. Football got another setback when it was announced that the Army trainees would not be allowed to participate in intercollegiate sports, although men in the Navy programs were under no such restrictions. Lehigh faced the prospect of meeting rivals such as Muhlenberg with only civilians. The bulk of the successful 1942 eleven was made up of juniors in advanced ROTC and hence without draft worries, but there were persistent rumors to the effect that they were due for activation. Meanwhile the Air Corps reserves got their notices to report and 244 men in V-l received orders to report to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology if they were engineers, or to Swarthmore if they weren ' t, on July 1 to start training. Inci- dentally, the M.I.T. humor magazine, the Voodoo, had a great time last summer rib- bing the daylights out of the Lehigh boys for the transfer to M.I.T., arch-rival in the engineering field. By March, all the necessary machinery had been set up and the University set- tled back to await the arrival of the ASTP. The dormitory students were to be the first to be dispossessed and campus fraternities would be added to the list of barracks as the unit grew. Lamberton Hall was to be used as the mess hall, a fate the Army hardly deserved according to a few discontented student patrons. The courses were all prepared; all that was lacking was the soldier students. Lehigh waited. Finally after the usual flock of rumors setting the date of arrival at dates ranging from the next day until next Christmas an official date of April 6 was set. April 6 came and de- parted. Still no ASTP. Lehigh waited. And Waited. But Lehigh did more than wait. Men were working, working for victory. The great complexities of modern war had reduced the war to the point of being some- what a conflict between the engineers and scientists of the contending nations. The ability to design new weapons, to improve the methods of producing them, to build superior planes, tanks and ships, and to build them faster and more efficiently than the Axis was one of the most potent weapons in the hands of the United Nations. One of the most war-vital projects carried on at Lehigh was recently completed in the metallurgy department under the direction of Professor Gilbert E. Doan. It concerned welding research that had been carried on at Lehigh in one form or another for about 12 years. The problem facing the Lehigh metallurgists was that certain low-alloy and high carbon steels that were otherwise suited for certain types of constructions could not be used when the welding process was employed, because they became brittle and cracks developed near the junction. A number of special welding techniques were known that could be used to preserve ductility but since every method was not appli- [23] . EPITOME Tf cable to every type of steel, welders were faced with the problem of what method to use - every time they started a new piece of work. Previously, the only way to determine the gs correct method was so time-consuming and complicated that it sometimes slowed down t- production. Moreover, the advent of the mass-production method of building cargo vessels, among other things, made welding more important than ever in the war effort so that in 1941 the National Defense Research Council sponsored a project that was carried on jointly at Lehigh and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the purpose of which was to develop a simple method for finding out how to weld a certain type of steel in order to preserve its ductility. Most of the work here was done by Professor Doan, Mr. Robert D. Stout and Dr. John H. Frye, Jr., of the metallurgy department: Mr. Sadun S. Tor, a graduate student from Istanbul, Turkey; and Dr. Clarence A. Shook, of the math department, whose investigations concerned the flow of heat during welding. The winter of 1943 saw the work come to a successful conclusion, so successful in fact that the American Welding Society bestowed the Lincoln Gold Medal Award on metallurgists Doan, Stout, and Frye for their outstanding contribution to the in- dustry. At the time of this writing, the metallurgy department, far from resting on its laurels, is still up to its collective ears in war work. In fact, every member of the staff is now engaged in essential war research, and a second NDRC contract has recently been signed by the University involving a prob- lem in non-ferrous metallurgy of a secret nature. Professor Allison Butts and Dr. Frye are engaged in this project. Bringing a date up for houseparty 7 ' Might as well. This is the last one. VEN THOUGH it had become quite apparent that there would soon be no m place on the campus to house a date in 1943, 584 men, a high percentage of the student body, brought girls to spring houseparty. After the spring affair, it seemed that the very word houseparty made that nebulous phantom, the administration, turn pale, since it forbid the labeling of any subsequent social function as a house- party and even frowned upon the use of the questionable word in student publications. The only possible reason for such an attitude could have been the pressure, real or imagined, of public opinion which unfortunately seems to regard college houseparties as wild, drunken orgies that serve only as an outlet for man ' s lower instincts. So, Lehigh not only abandoned houseparty as every other school did and should have done under wartime pressure but it went them one better by renouncing the very name. Lehigh wrestling fans, which includes just about all of the student body, were a trifle disappointed that spring in 1943 when the Brown and White matmen finished fourth in the Easterns. After Billy Sheriden had demonstrated for the umpteenth time that he is America ' s outstanding grappling mentor by turning out an undefeated team, his followers were pretty certain that 1943 would be Lehigh ' s year to take the toga. Despite the fact that an incredibly strong Navy squad far outdistanced the rest of the field and that the South Mountain standard bearers didn ' t come up to previous ex- pectations, everyone agreed that an undefeated season was not to be sniffed at and that [24] THE WAR . such wrestlers as Christ, Zackey, Snyder, and Fulton were to be ranged close to such an immortal as Ben Bishop. Other doings on the sports front that spring included the replacement of Jim Gordon, director of Athletics, who got a Navy commission, by Eb Caraway, and the designing of an underwater obstacle course by Swimming Coach Dick Brown that at- tracted national attention. The school ' s collective sense of humor was given a boost by the production of the hilarious, original Mustard and Cheese revue, Bottoms Up, but was accelerated in the opposite direction by the voluntary suspension of publication of the campus humor magazine, the Bachelor, for the duration. The Bachelor had made quite a hit that year, especially the issue that parodied The New Yorker ; and present fresh- men who weren ' t in school during the publication ' s life-time who happen to get an old copy always put it down with a sincere Gee, what a neat magazine. Gee, I ' ll be glad to get that four-wee vacation. Don ' t be so happy; they ' ll probably draft you during that time. T the end f th e spring semester, ' 43, the University decreed a four-week J break in the pleasant pursuit of knowledge but provided a special session for men with draft boards so tough that they would be slapped into 1A as soon as they so much as stepped outside of South Bethlehem. Most men realized that the drive would probably continue without pause from this point and tore themselves away from school for the rest. Meanwhile doubts were beginning to form about the Army ' s coming to Lehigh at all, but when the five hundred odd students returned at the end of June they found that the trainees were moving in and learned that classes would begin for the G.I. ' s on July 12. The United States Army was moving into American colleges that summer, and it was also preparing to move in on Fortress Europe after having licked the day- lights out of the vaunted Marshal Rommel in North Africa. From the north, Ger- ASTP Classes Underwater Obstacles [25] . EPITOME -rj- many was absorbing a terrific air assault from what was now a clearly superior Anglo- t - American air force. People began to smile when reading the newspapers, whereas a Q year before they had almost been afraid to look at the headlines. i— I And so amid this atmosphere of general good feeling that pervaded Lehigh as it did the rest of the country that summer, a new institution, the Army Specialized Training Program, made its appearance on the South Mountain, and it was soon shown that the anxiety that had prevailed in some quarters about possible friction be- tween the civilian students and the trainees was entirely uncalled for. There was some good-natured kidding back and forth but certainly no group animosity was ever in evidence. There have been some isolated cases of bad feeling, however, such as the time the Brown and White published an editorial claiming that a good deal of cheat- ing went on in the Army classes and got a rather irate reply from a soldier who accused Lehigh men in general of being snobs who looked down on the G.I. ' s who hadn ' t had the benefit of a college education. But such incidents were isolated and the esprit de corps between soldiers and civilians was heightened by the arrival of a group of advanced Lehigh ROTC men who were sent back pending openings in OCS. This group, our boys, as everyone called them, was really the deciding factor that set up a healthy relationship between the two groups of students. Come down to the office right away, you ' ve got to help remade the paper. What ' s coo mg, another fire? J o, the President has resigned. C HAT ' S HOW the desk staff of the Brown and White got pulled away from their books and from Kinney ' s one Tuesday night after they thought the paper had been put to bed. Dr. Williams ' announcement that he would leave Le- high at the end of June, 1944, came as a complete surprise to everyone and left the majority of students speechless. Soon, however, they began the grand old game of rumors, this time with the future president as the subject, a game which is still pro- ceeding merrily at the time of this writing. Guesses range from Herbert Hoover to Joe Kinney. However, Lehigh ' s most unusual and one of its most spectacular contributions to the war effort was taking place that summer behind the locked doors of Fritz lab. The huge press that is usually employed in testing the strength of materials was now be- ing used to taper metal tubes by forcing them through dies, and other pieces of test- ing equipment were being used in the manufacture of airplane parts that would eventually be used on Douglas planes on a sub-contract from the Summerill Tubing Company of Bridgeport, Pa. The company had been swamped by demands from the Douglas plant and had called on Robert Mains, acting director of Fritz lab, for aid. Mains not only developed the original process of tapering the tubes, which saves a tremendous amount of steel, but also converted Fritz lab into a factory — a move that has been imitated since by many other testing organizations. From July 1, 1943, until February 1, 1944, when the Summerill Company was prepared to perform the taper- Research, Dr. Neville and paint brushes. Frits Laboratory, War Work in Fritz lab [26] .

Summerill Tubing estimates i-H that the new process has stepped up their production over 500 per cent, a real contri- bution to the war effort. Only a few hundred yards away from Fritz lab in the chemistry building a dif- ferent brand of know how was serving the war effort. Under the direction of Dr. Albert Zettlemoyer, both graduate and undergraduate students worked on projects such as a plastic tile to be used in flooring on ships and in buildings such as barracks At the same time, experiments in heat flow that provided data useful in the operation of marine diesels were carried on, and a new type of finish for metal products that had to be transported on the open decks of ships was being developed. At about the same time, Dr. Harvey Neville completed work on the new type of paint brush bristle that has been put on the market by Devoe-Reynolds Paint Company. What ' s the matter, too much beer? J [aw. Just thinking about the way things have been dissolving around here. It seems that Lehigh is just a shell oj what it was before the war. Gee, I wish I could have been born a couple oj years sooner and had been able to have a real college life. 7 HE WAR really began to make itself felt on the South Mountain during the summer and fall of ' 43. The tremendously decreased enrollment and the loss of campus housing facilities were the main factors in killing off a great many items that are labeled college life. It was more than the losing of the beloved relics of the good old days that helped to alter the feelings of Lehigh men during the fall and winter of 1943. The wave of unfounded optimism that swept over the country after the surrender of Italy carried in its wake realization that presaged a grim struggle ahead. The draft was be ' ginning to tighten up on student deferments, thus throwing a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty into most of the student body. In addition, many of them had that vague notion so well expressed by one man as, You feel that whatever you ' re doing here even though you know it ' s helping the war effort in the long run, is unreal, that it isn ' t really living, that l ife is only going on out there. Then, too, every once in a great while a man would get a copy of his home town newspaper and read that a fellow who had graduated from high school with him had been killed on Attu — or Tarawa; and two powerful forces within him would immediately start pulling in op- posite directions. As the Americans pushed forward slowly but determinedly on all fronts during the winter of 1943-44, Lehigh took less interest in football, basketball and even wres- tling as well as other extra-curricular activities. Lehigh men no longer having the physi- cal unity afforded by living on the campus and disturbed by a vague feeling that something important was missing, felt that they were playing in a big complicated game that was beyond their understanding. [28] en THE WA R . 82 K| 7 HE MAGIC number 82. When the number of deferments to be granted to Tl science and engineering students was limited to 10,000 and it was learned near j . the end of the fall semester that Lehigh had been allotted 81 engineers and one chemist from the arts college, the tension generated made the ERC jitters of the previous year seem insignificant by comparison. By this time, however, most men were tired of indecision and welcomed a showdown. Shortly after the beginning of the spring semester the men recommended were notified. Those not on the quota have either left or await the call of their local board with calmness; for them the big complicated game that was beyond their control or understanding is over. II Qi Y OF THE readers of this little history probably regard it as rather mel- 1 1 ancholy and pessimistic. In a way, it is melancholy because of the metamor- phosis of a college of 1,800 men — most of whom were living on the campus without worries other than those of passing Physics 2 J or getting a date for house- party to one of only 300 men — many of whom are spread out all over Bethlehem, most of whom are concerned with the possibilities of not being able to finish the edu- cation that is so important in this technically advanced society; and some of whom are having a hard time deciding just what is the morally right course for a young man to take in time of war — these facts are not good material for a hymn of joy. But in addi- tion it has been a story of some of the many achievements Lehigh ' s know-how has accomplished in aiding the cause of American victory. Such a story can only be one of pride and satisfaction. But despite the great importance of the material contributions Lehigh has made to the war effort, they are dwarfed by her contribution in men. Some, like Major Ralph Cheli, have done great deeds of battle and some, like Eugene Grace, have done great deeds of production of war materiel. But these men are products of a past Lehigh. What of the war-time graduates? Although lacking physical unity, although depleted in numbers, and though pained at times by the feeling that something very real and vital is missing from their college lives, Lehigh men of today can do as much for war-time and post-war America as Lehigh men of the past did, for while melancholy about the past, this history is not pessimistic about the future. It cannot guarantee a future filled with achievement and progress for Lehigh and its students. Only the Lehigh men of today can do that. Can enough courage and determination be mustered to overcome the wartime conditions that threaten to change Lehigh from a university to a factory, from a place where men can grow mentally and spiritually to a place where they just work, eat and sleep? Do Lehigh men have enough stamina to keep their extra-curricular organiza- tions together rather than let them dissolve for the vague- reason — the war ? Do they have enough guts to support their athletic teams both by active participation and cheering from the sidelines instead of suggesting that sports be dropped because of the war ? Do they have enough guts to hit the books instead of forgetting studies because I might be drafted soon ? It ' s up to the present student body primarily to decide whether Lehigh will live in their memories as a glorious adventure of discovering many of life ' s finer things or as a bad and rather dull dream. The issue is still undecided. And the outcome? We leave that with you.

Williams OC URING a period of constant and rapid change, institutions throughout the J world have been profoundly affected, and Lehigh is no exception. Some things have changed during the time of printing of this year book, but bear with us while we review a little of old Lehigh as you knew it in the early days of 1944. First of all, let us meet the administrators: Supreme and final authority over the actions and policies of Lehigh University is vested in the Board of Trustees, at the head of which is Dr. Eugene Gifford Grace, who graduated from Lehigh as an electrical engi- neer in 1899 and who has been a member of the board since 1913. Responsibility for maintaining the educational activities of the University at a maximum and the plant and personnel at the highest point of efficiency has rested with Lehigh ' s seventh president, Dr. Clement Clarence Williams, since 1 93 S . Among Dr. Williams ' qualifications for his present position are degrees from Southern Illinois Norman School, the University of Illinois, and the University of Colorado, a varied experience as a civil engineer, and a term as Dean of Engineering at the Univer- sity of Iowa. Dr. Williams, who succeeded Dr. Charles Russ Richards, will terminate his ninth year of service at Lehigh when he resigns this July. The recent death of Walter Raleigh Okeson, Vice-President and Treasurer of the University, will be marked in the future annals of Lehigh as one of our greatest losses. Okey was known to every Lehigh man, and his activity in numerous official positions since his graduation in 1896 made him an invaluable administrator. Okey was the only Vice-President in the history of Lehigh, and his absence leaves a gap that cannot be filled adequately at the present time. The several deans of the colleges of the University have under their control the administration of their respective academic divisons. Dr. Tomlinson Fort is dean of the [32] ADMINISTRATION . • ym- ' Graduate School. Under his guidance graduate students plan their rosters and make their plans for further advanced education. Assisting Dr. Fort in his work is Robert Pattison More, professor of German and Executive Secretary of the graduate faculty. During their stay at Lehigh, arts men, business men, and engineers are guided and assisted by Deans Palmer, Carothers and Callen respectively. Under the administration of these deans each undergraduate is given the opportunity of receiving instructions in several departments and of broadening his education by correlating facts learned in many related fields of study. To the average student the word admin- istration is embodied in Dr. Wray Hollowell Congdon, Dean of Undergraduates, for Dean Congdon is the link between the individual un- dergraduate and the faculty and adminstrative units of the University. Dean Congdon has some of the most difficult and delicate tasks of all the administrative officers of Lehigh. It is he who controls practically every extra-routine relation of the student with the University. The loss of many undergraduate students and the introduction of a high percentage of military personnel has helped to make many tasks exceedingly more difficult. In charge of University publicity is Melvin P. Moorhouse, instructor in journalism and Uni- versity News Editor. Lt. John Irvine Kirkpatrick, Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, is now on a leave of absence until his duties in the Navy are completed. One of the greatest changes in Lehigh ' s administrative units came to the dining service because of the introduction of approximately twelve hundred military men who Dean W. H. Congden n d r H Dean Callen Dean Palmer Dean Carothers [33] . EPITOME •«-j- had to be fed. Mrs. Bertha Bowman, present manager of the dining service, is assisted - j- in her work by two able dietitians — Miss Mary Hunsicker and Miss Mary Jenkins. q Two men who will mean much to every student after graduation are the President — - and Secretary of the Lehigh Alumni Association — respectively Nevin E. Funk, ' 05, and Robert Ford Herrick. As president of this powerful alumni group, Mr. Funk has the job of keeping alumni activities co-ordinated and integrated. Secretary Herrick handles alumni correspondence, attends meetings, raises funds, and, with the help of Managing Editor Leonard H. Schick, also a Lehigh man, puts out the Alumni Bulletin, the maga- zine which carries news of undergraduates and alumni Lehigh to old grads all over the world. One man whom every senior knows is Elias Robins Morgan, Director of the Placement Bureau, and the man who gets Lehigh men jobs after they have finished their course of concentrated and accelerated study. The greatest volume of student business is handled by Messrs. Smiley, Curtis, and Ash- baugh. These admiinstrators are the men who handle the more detailed workings of the Uni- versity machine. E. Kenneth Smiley, Director of Admissions, makes the original selection of those who are to become Lehigh men. Since the intro- duction of military personnel Mr. Smiley also has added responsibility as the Director of Housing and Commissary, in which task he is assisted by Mr. Benjamin F. Pflum. Every student is familiar with the accom- plishments of the Registrar ' s office after his first confusing registration. It is the task of Mr. George Bartlett Curtis, Registrar and Univer- sity Editor, and his staff to issue averages, make up class schedules, report grades, record cuts, keep permanent records of every student, and edit the Catalogue, the Student Direc- tory, and the papers of the Institute of Research. After the student gets through Mr. Curtis ' registration line he goes down to pay Frederick Ralph Ashbaugh, the Bureau and Purchasing Agent. He has been the col- lector of student fees since 1908. The physical plant of the University is kept in working order by Mr. Andrew Willard Litzenberger, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and his staff of workers. Ded7i T.

Maxwell. - Another department which has been radically changed during the past year is the hH department of Military Science and Tactics, headed by Colonel James N. Caperton, professor of M. S. and T. and commandant of all military units stationed at Lehigh. Basic military training is still given to civilian freshmen and sophomores under the instruction of Lehigh R.O.T.C. men who have been sent back to the University on active duty. C ) One of the great centers of the University is the department of Health Service, H headed by Dr. Raymond Cooley Bull who is assisted by Dr. Carl Otto Keck and two very efficient nurses, Mrs. Culp and Mrs. Agoes. Dr. Bull is in charge of sanitation in all University buildings and is in charge of the general health of all the students. Geographical and cultural center of the campus is the beautiful Lucy Packer 1- Linderman Memorial Library, directed by Head Librarian Howard Savoy Leach who administers the buying, preserving, and use of the 244,000 volumes. Since Mr. Leach assumed his position in 1924 the library has grown to be the second largest university library in Pennsylvania with a circulation that has increased ten-fold. Lehigh athletics have been seriously affected by the war situation, but intercol- legiate sports have been continued in the old spirit of Lehigh under the supervision of Eh Caraway, acting Director of Athletics, and Leo Prendergast, Athletic Coach. Professor Fay Bartlett, head of the department of physical education and intramural athletics, is in control of the physical develeopment of the regular student. 1 HE College of Arts and Science has been with Lehigh since the very beginning, first as a course in General Literature and later as a separate school of the same name. The College has prevented the University from retrogressing both in name and deed to a purely technical institution. The students who sign for courses in the twenty different fields offered in the College are guided by Dean Philip Mason Palmer, who has taught, advised, and directed Lehigh students for more than four decades. His main purpose is to familiarise every Arts man with the type of learning that every well-educated man should have at his disposal. Dean Palmer, who is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa, has received degrees from Bowdoin, Harvard, the University of Heidelberg, the University of Zurich, and the University of Padua. One of the largest and most important departments in the University is the English department. Under the direction of Dr. Robert M. Smith, head of the depart- FACULTY: Brennecke, Brown.

During the present world-wide conflict the knowledge of foreign languages is indispensable, and the A.S.T.P. units stationed at Lehigh to study languages are being given advanced and intensive training in languages that will serve the Allies during the battle and after the peace. Heads of the language departments are: Latin, Professor Wright; German, Dean Palmer, and Romance Languages, Professor Barthold. The department of Geology gives instruction in the constitution, appearance, con- struction and usefulness of the Earth. Headed by Dr. Bradford Willard, the men of the department have shown many a Lehigh man the fascinating study of rocks, their formations, and their peculiarities. Biology, one of the three classic fundamental sciences, specializes primarily in training pre-medical students for their future grind in medical school. Dr. Stanley J. Thomas, professor of bacteriology and head of the department of Biology, has been serving as chairman of the Office of Civilian Defense in Bethlehem for some months. Many a pleasant morning is spent on the first floor of Coppee by students learn- ing to appreciate art more fully. Garth Howland, who is the head of the Fine Arts department, is an accomplished sketcher and a prominent local artist, and under his skillful guidance students learn what every broadly educated man should know about famous works of art. Dr. Jenkins and Dr. Ford have left to take up duties in the Unitd Setates Naval radio and sound laboratory, and Dr. J. L. Graham, acting head of the department of Psychology, has accepted full responsibility for teaching students the many phases of normal and abnormal psychology. Two departments which are very closely related in function are the departments of Education and Philosophy. Lehigh is equipped to prepare students for certificates in secondary school teaching, and indeed many of our graduate scholars are local teachers working for advanced degrees in that department. The Philosophy department sponsors the General Education program, designed to acquaint undergraduates with a field of their own choice by non-credit and extra-curricular reading, conferences, and discussions. The history of the past, which lays the foundation for a clear insight into the future, and the stories of how different governments operate is taught by the depart- ment of History and Government, headed by Dr. L. H. Gipson. Dr. T. Edgar Shields, music mentor of both Lehigh and Moravian, teaches formal classes in music appreciation and harmony, and directs the Band and the Glee Club. FACULTY: Ettmger.

On the second floor of Drown Hall is the office of the man to whom the University and every Lehigh man owe a great debt — Dr. Claude G. Beardslee, who teaches Moral and Religious Philosophy. He is the faculty adviser for all the major student governing bodies and the champion of the student body. HH The last of the departments to be mentioned in this section, but certainly not the least, is the Mathematics department which serves every college in the University and has enlarged its program to include most of the A.S.T.P. students for whom math is one of the fundamental sciences. n 1 HE University Register has aptly expressed the purpose of training in the C business curriculum when it states that : The College of Business Administration undertakes, in its four-year cur- |_J riculum, to provide a training in the fundamentals of business that will give the student an intelligent understanding of business principles, an ability to analyze industrial facts, and a habit of thought that will enable him to cope with the problems that increasing executive responsibilities will bring him in later lfe. A college course cannot make busi- ness executives and industrial managers out of inexperienced college students, and no college course can provide a substitute for the training and experience which are to be gained only from actual contact with the complex problems of business. The College of Business Administration does not pretend to furnish such a substitute but to lay a foundation upon which a career in the field of business activity may be built. The man whose job it is to see that this purpose is accomplished is Dean Neil Carothers, one time Rhodes Scholar and now Macfarlane Professor of Economics. Dean Carothers is a prominent national figure and is well known for his radio lectures and magazine articles opposing projects which are economically unsound. After listening to his inimitable lectures in Eco. 3 and 4 every Lehigh student is familiar with Dean Carothers careful analyses of facts. The College of Business Administration is subdivided into the three departments of Accounting, Economics and Sociology, and Finance, headed by Roy B. Cowin, Dr. Herbert M. Diamond, and Dr. Frederick A. Bradford respectively. Much of the work of the curriculum is taken in the College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Science, while students of these two colleges in very large numbers avail themselves of the courses given in the College of Business Administration. Many older Lehigh men would not recognize the Business School since the period of stress caused by the war. Business students who are physically fit are not eligible for deferment, and, as a consequence, the College has lost a higher percentage of students FACULTY: Mick, Ippen, Jackson, Jones, Keck Klein, Kogbetliantz, Lafferty, Lamson, Laramy Larkin, Latshaw Leach, Lee Lewert, Litzenberger, Lotz, McDonald, McGuiness McNerney, Means, Mercur, Miller, Moog CENTER: Entrance to Sayre Park [41] .

Q For this reason, business students now have a broader selection of courses than ever t-H before. Lehigh men have always been in great demand, but during the present emer- gency every business student can look forward to several excellent offers for a position after graduation. r NOWLEDGE is one of America ' s greatest weapons. Americans fight not with r their hands alone but with electrical equipment, gigantic machines, bridges, roads, mines, ships, and a myriad of other devices which make life more pleasant during peace and victory more certain during war. The man behind the production of many of the newer and better things is the engineer who fights America ' s war with knowledge, keen insight, and cold analytical reasoning. Lehigh ' s engineers are men who help carry on this essential fight. Men have come from all corners of the earth to receive training in the fundamentals of the engineering profession and have returned — armed with knowledge and grateful to their Alma Mater for their superior trainin g. Men of Lehigh, yours is a heritage of which to be proud and a future to be envied by engineers everywhere. The present curriculum includes nine branches of engineering: Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Metallurgical, Mining, Electrical, Chemical, Engineering Physics, and an engineering administered curriculum in Chemistry. An intensive study, by the faculty of the University, of the problems of technical education and the changing needs of modern industry has led to the conclusion that greater emphasis should be placed upon the fundamentals of engineering than upon the highly specialized details of engineering practice. The University recognizes that an engineer cannot be trained by a purely academic practice, for there is no substitute for training and experience gained by contact with the complex problems of industry. Lehigh engineers become acquainted with those humanistic subjects which are a part of the equipment of every well educated man. A University prepares its students for m ore than a job, and Lehigh is a University. To see that Lehigh loses none of the quality in engineering which has made her graduates so eagerly sought after by American industry is the job of Dean Alfred Copeland Callen of the College of Engineering. Dean Callen has several duties other than those of administration. He is the former International President of Kiwanis, a present member of the Executive Committee of the Mineral Industry Education Divi- sion, and Education Adviser for the A.S.T.P. in the Third Service Command.

Neville, who has been instrumental in perfecting a process for manufacturing synthetic bristles which are being made commercially. Civil engineers are at a premium in these days of construction, and Lehigh is still producing some of the best of them. Unfortunately, the enrollment has been reduced hH to approximately one-third the normal level, but under the guidance of Professor Sutherland, head of the department in Civil Engineering, Lehigh standards have been maintained. The curriculum in Electrical Engineering is directed by acting head of the depart ' r ment, Loyal V. Beaver. The department was reorganized several years ago to include CJ more fundamentals and their applications. The fascinating study of electricity leads to (-H problems concerned with the design, installation, operation, and repair of all sorts of electrical equipment, and students from Lehigh have a good foundation for the future industrial problems they must face. Together with the Electricals in the James Ward Packard Laboratory are the H Mechanical and Industrial Engineers, headed by Professor Fred V. Larkin, one of Lehigh ' s most ardent exponents of a non-specialized education. Students in these two branches of engineering enter many fields, Industrials having perhaps the broader back- ground and being less specialized. Mining Engineers at Lehigh, under the direction of Dean Callen and Mr. Gal- lagher, are fortunate in having the Eckley B. Coxe Mining Laboratory in which they can perform almost all of the actual processes that make up the subject. Gilbert E. Doan, another believer in the liberalized engineering curriculum, heads the Metallurgical department. The Physics department, headed by Dr. Charles C. Bidwell, is still one of the most overloaded departments in the University. Nearly all of the A.S.T.P. men stationed at Lehigh study Physics, and student assistants have been used in elementary labora- tories to alleviate the strain. A recent reorganization of basic courses has resulted in more compact units of work, and graduate study in the department still progresses. The question of what makes a good engineer remains unanswered. It is not answered in college, but in practical experience. Lehigh provides the fundamental aca- demic training and tries to instil into the minds of her students the rational reasoning of a practical engineer. Her success is measured by her results.

How strange a trick fate has played on this prophecy. Even as the day of graduation nears — not four, but three years later — we few who do remain find that not only the man on our right and the man on our left have gone, but far more. In four years none will remain. Gone with the men who once sat beside us are many of Lehigh ' s traditions. The freshman uniform of brown hats, ties, and socks has vanished. But there are none of Cyanide ' s pink ribbon reminders to correct this offense of freshman rules. The fifty- foot bonfire circled by jubilant first year men as they tossed their hats into the flames, lives only in the memories of those who are now juniors and seniors. Gone too is the pajama parade serenading Moravian the night before the age-old Lafayette gridiron struggle. These traditions some of us may hope to see once again, but lost forever at the class rallies are Okie ' s pep talks which set the fighting blood afire in the veins of Lehigh ' s sons. Houseparties, which history reveals once lasted three and four days, have become non-existent. Class dances are organized by an Arcadia five- man committee. This com- mittee replaces the individual class officers which have been abolished because of the ever-changing uncertainty of the eight classes which now exist. The Fall Prom, spon- sored by the October 1943 and the February 1944 classes, brought to a close the day of financially successful dances featuring name bands. In addition to the comparatively large civilian turnout, a large number of servicemen were also present. Bobby Hackett and his N.B.C. orchestra rolled out the syncopation for this occasion. The next class dance featured Dick Smith, an Easton band which has risen steadily in popularity in the Lehigh Valley. This was the Junior Prom of the class of 1944 held last April. Everywhere in our college life we find that the individual classes have gone into the melting pot of Lehigh. Class dances, class banquets, class rallies, and class rivalries have disappeared, the functions having become university-wide. When once again the student body swells to its former number the hope is that these traditions have not died but merely become dormant. [46] Berg, Boyd, Domeratsky, Doxsey, Hilton, Murray, Shafer, Seigle, Smith WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Published annually, the collegiate Who ' s Who contains the names of more than eight thousand students who have been outstanding on the campuses of about 650 colleges and uni- versities throughout the United States. At Lehigh these men — who usually numbered about twenty in prewar days — are selected by an unannounced committee chosen by the faculty advisor to Arcadia, the student governing body. Appearing in the last issue were the following men with some of their more important activities. PHILIP J.

ORGANIZATIONS C HAT LEHIGH is at war is nowhere evidenced more strongly than in her ac- tivities, where the student leaves behind him the problems of the classroom and instead takes up the business of life itself. The most significant fact about Lehigh ' s organizations in this war year has been their determination to carry on despite the small student body left on the campus due to the demands of the armed forces. Of the thirty-eight organizations represented in last year ' s Epitome, when the civilian student body numbered approximately eighteen hundred, twenty-two will again be included in this issue, even though the regular civilian student body and the activated ROTC men stationed here with the ASTP unit together numbered only six hundred at the end of the first semester. The civil, mechanical, metallurgical, and electrical engineering societies are all war casualties, since very few students are now registered in these curricula; and when all advanced ROTC students were activated, the Scabbard and Blade became non- existent. Similarly Alpha Kappa Psi, business honorary, and Lambda Mu Omega, hon- orary marketing fraternity, were unable to continue operations when almost the en- tire enrollment of the business school left their classes to take up America ' s cause on the world ' s battlefronts. Eta Kappa Nu, honorary electrical engineering fraternity, and Pi Mu Epsilon, honorary mathematics fraternity, also have gone. In the field of publications the Lehigh Bachelor, famed magazine of campus life, has been discontinued, since the summer of 1943 found no members of the editorial and only two of the business staff returning to Lehigh. The Canterbury Club, a religious group, the Demolay Club, R. W. Blake Philosophical Society, Phi Alpha Theta, honorary historical society, the Sportsman ' s clubi — all these too have been forced to curtail their normal activities. Those are the activities that have gone. But we at Lehigh who are privileged to re- main here during this crisis in our nation ' s history, are not sad or aggrieved at their loss. Life here is different now. We work harder and play less. Gone are the those carefree college days. And replacing them are days of hard work, with only those activities being carried on which are essential to the life of the University. Arcadia, the Brown and White, the Band, Cyanide, Tau Beta Pi, Phi Beta Kappa — these are important to life at Lehigh. These, we hope, will carry on as long as there are stu- dents to come to Lehigh. .War has stripped Lehigh of many of her activities, but she still carries on with the same fighting spirit that has been her guide and protection since the days of her founding. [96] ORGANIZATIONS . I. R. Collmann H. G. Gumpert R. L. Smith PHI BETA KAPPA jHI BETA KAPPA, oldest secret fraternity in America, was founded at Wil- liam and Mary College, Williamsburg, Va., in 1776. However, its present ' standing as one of the most famous of all college honoraries did not develop until 1883 when the National Council was organized. The Pennsylvania Beta chapter of the honorary was founded at Lehigh in April, 1887, through the efforts of several Lehigh professors who had felt the need of such an organization on the Lehigh campus. The pledges to Phi Beta Kappa are chosen each year from the outstanding sen- iors of the three colleges who have shown scholastic excellence in non-technical subjects. Selections are made by a committee of faculty members from the Arts and Business colleges, from B.S. ' s in chemistry and physics, and usually one technical man is selected. The number usually chosen in normal times was approximately 20. However, with reduced enrollment this number has been reduced so that from the classes graduating last spring and fall only seven men were chosen. These men, named during the sum- mer semester, were F. W. Voelcker, I. Harrison Levy, David F. Cox, Theodore Peters, Jr. From the February graduating class I. Reid Collman, Hibbard G. Gumpert, Jr., and Robert L. Smith were chosen. [97] ORGANIZATIONS • TAU BETA PI h- NO )NE OF Lehigh ' s claims to fame is the possession of the parent chapter of Tau . J Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity. The society is the second national hon- ■  • orary to be founded, and is probably better known than any other except Phi Beta Kappa. In 1885 Professor Edward Williams, head of the Mining Department at Lehigh, seeing that engineers had very little time to devote to the liberal arts subjects which were prerequisite to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa, began a similar society to reward high ranking men in engineering and scientific fields. He felt that Tau Beta Pi would serve as a strong stimulus to students in the various engineering curricula. In founding Tau Beta Pi, Professor Williams embodied in the organization his conviction that a strong emphasis should be placed on character and integrity, as well as upon scholarship. Thus, in choosing its members today, the selection is based upon character, personality, breadth of interests, and achievements; and at the same time the high scholastic standards are kept up. In the words of its own constitution the purpose of Tau Beta Pi is to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates, or by their attainments as alumni; and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering schools of America. After drawing up the constitution and ritual, Professor Williams shared his idea with Irving A. Hiekes, the valedictorian for 1885, who became the society ' s first un- dergraduate member. Tau Beta Pi was a local society until in 1892 the second chap- ter was installed at Michigan State College. Since then, the fraternity has grown rap- idly, until it now has seventy-five chapters and over 30,000 members. As stated in the constitution, Tau Beta Pi today selects its men on character and extra-curricular activities as well as on scholarship. Seniors in the upper fifth of their class are eligible for consideration for membership, as are the top eighth of the jun- ior class. Now that the war has destroyed class lines, Tau Beta Pi holds three pledg- ings and initiations each year. For the past two years Lehigh ' s parent chapter has been drawing up plans for building a monument on the Lehigh campus to commemorate the founding of the fraternity. Although the plans have been completed and funds are available for the undertaking, a scarcity of materials due to the war has necessitated postponing the actual construction of the monument. TAU BETA PI Bac Row: Amish, Seigle, Hursh, Pennock, Ferrell, Litrides, Wright. Second Row: Shafer, Reifsnyder, Domeratsky, Murray, Boyd, Larkin, Bloecher, Diehl.

Each year the 1 l S ' soc iety admits to membership approximately three per cent of the junior and senior classes. ODK was founded in 1914 at Washington and Lee University and now has local chapters, called Circles, in forty-two American colleges and universities. Lehigh ' s Xi Circle was installed in 1925. The purposes of the fraternity are to honor the students who have shown sound moral character and the most effective leadership in student activities; to unite some students and some members of the faculty and administration in working for the de- velopment of a greater Lehigh: and to inspire other students to try unselfishly, for the University ' s sake, to achieve the University ' s ideal of moral and executive man- hood. During the past year ODK has functioned primarily as a discussion group, meet- ing at various fraternity houses to review problems concerned with student life at Lehigh. The society has made extensive study of such important problems as student morale, student- faculty relations, and the effect of the war on University academic standards. It has been instrumental in holding an all-university banquet, a university meeting, and has recently suggested the holding of several band and glee club concerts. CYANIDE It THE END of the spring term of 194 J the officers of Cyanide, Lehigh ' s jun- •T J ior honorary society, decided to disband the organization for the duration of the war, since only four members were to be in school the next semester. However, due to the efforts of these four men, the society continued to function, and at the end of the semester it pledged five juniors. The pledging of seven more men in February of 1944 brought Cyanide up to approximately one-half of its usual strength, and it is now carrying out its full program of activities. This past year the organization has taken as a project the investigation of stu- dent-faculty committees. A survey of the facts has been made, and on the basis of this information the society hopes to render its recommendations and suggestions for improvement of these vital faculty-student relationships. Another of Cyanide ' s duties is freshman orientation and discipline. As each new class enters Lehigh, now three times a year, Cyanide also holds a smoker and pep rally at which it tries to instill in the incoming frosh Lehigh ' s spirit and traditions Until last year ' s cessation of freshmen regulations, Cyanide saw to it that the frosh com- plied with the university rules and traditions.

During the 1880 ' s Richard Harding Davis founded a society devoted 4— to pipes, books, beer, and gingeralia. As many societies do, Arcadia began to enter into college politics. It was soon to grow very powerful, for in 1922 the leaders of the living groups became the official members of Arcadia, giving the group strength and authority lacking before. During the rest of the 1920 ' s, however, Arcadia gradually lost its power on the campus. The growth of the Lehigh Union, founded in 1928, resulted by 1938 in the almost complete collapse of Arcadia ' s power. At that time it was amalgamated with the Union. The new society, by popular vote, retained the name of Arcadia, but its organization and powers were almost identical with that of the Union. Its member ' ship was now made up of the presidents of classes and of influential organizations. Since 1938 Arcadia has had many campus duties, such as the organization of Freshman week activities, football smokers and pep rallies, and Flag Pole Day. It has operated a Campus Community Chest, supervised elections, published the Freshman Handbook, and appointed student members to various university committees. Arcadia has also been responsible for the success of many activities, such as concerts and meetings, which have been suggested by other organisations. The present war has markedly changed the composition of Arcadia. Since the accelerated program has broken classes into smaller groups, three of which graduate every year, and since there are no more class officers, a Five-man committee has been set up to manage the University ' s affairs. This committee has charge of making class budgets, selling class insurance, holding elections, and such necessary jobs. These five men, elected by popular vote, and one man from each of the six ASTP companies, now hold membership in Arcadia. During the past year the organization has functioned even more than in pre-war times. Besides its regular duties, Arcadia during the past year put on an all-univer- sity banquet, the first of its kind in many years, and two successful dances; and con- ducted an informative survey of student opinion on the continuation of intercollegiate football. The most recent works of the organization have been an attempt to consolidate the athletic awards presented by the university and the sending of a letter to all members of the ASTP unit, explaining many things about Lehigh. The inspiring participation of the ASTP members of Arcadia in its work has given the society renewed faith in its ability to continue to be a strong, useful society during the present war.

EPITOME rr ALPHA EPSILON DELTA q lENNSYLVANIA ALPHA of AED, honorary pre-medical fraternity, was char- ,_l _, J tered at Lehigh University in 1935. Since that time the chapter has rapidly ' expanded into maturity. Membership is based upon scholarship, extra-curricular activities, personality, and special interest in various pre-medical and medical subjects. Three times a month open meetings are held, to which all interested Lehigh students are invited. At these gatherings papers are presented by members on topics of interest in the field of medical science and surgical films are often shown. Every month the society holds a closed business meeting. The principal occupation of AED men is studying biology and closely related subjects, so the fraternity ' s policy of visiting various hospitals nearby has been very instructive and helpful. War has hit AED quite hard. The main group of men constituting the society, upperclassmen in the pre-medical curricula, has dwindled to a mere handful. However, since the members of the faculty of the Biology Department have taken a deep inter- est in the organization, it is felt that the chapter will have little trouble in re- opening after the war if it should close now. R. W. HALL PRE-MEDICAL SOCIETY N 1920, Dr. Robert W. Hall, then head of the Biology Department, founded the J Lehigh Pre-Medical society in order to stimulate interest in the medical field and to weld the pre-medical students at Lehigh into an organized group. In 1927 the name was changed to the R. W. Hall Pre-Medical society, in honor of its founder. Today the society ' s main purpose is to give its members an insight into their future life work by putting them in close contact with work being done in various fields of biological research and medicine. Any biology major is eligible for member- ship in the society. Monthly meetings, two banquets a year, out-of-town inspection trips, and clin- ics at local hospitals — all have gone to prove that the pre-medical society has been one of the most active groups on the campus for many years. Due to wartime condi- tions, however, one of the banquets and most of the out-of-town trips have been tem- porarily abandoned, but the society is still as active as ever. During the past year pre-medical societies from Lehigh, Lafayette, Muhlenberg College, and Moravian Colleges for Men and Women held a joint meeting. Each college sent representatives, who returned to their societies and reported on the ac- complishments of the gathering. ALPHA EPSILON DELTA: Bac Row: Matysek, Lytle, Del Vecchio, Moyer.

Ci £} O O f(u ORGANIZATIONS • PHI ETA SIGMA jHI ETA SIGMA, national freshman honorary scholastic fraternity, was founded Ay in 1923 at the University of Illinois. Lehigh ' s chapter was chartered in 1930. ' The fraternity has two main purposes: the honoring of freshmen with high scholastic standing and the stimulation of a higher standard of academic activity on the campus by emphasizing the need for developing as fully as possible the mind, body, and character. At the beginning of each year Phi Eta Sigma passes out to the incoming fresh- men pamphlets which give helpful hints on how to study, and also make public the society ' s requirements for membership. All freshmen who attain a 3.5 average in either semester are invited to join. Each fall, in order to stimulate scholarship and to create competition between living groups, Phi Eta Sigma awards a cup to that living group whose freshmen, at least five, have made the highest scholastic average for the preceding year. This pres- entation has been curtailed for the present year due to the disruption of normal fraternity and dormitory life by the war. Because of the war many of the members of the fraternity have left school to join the armed services, but those who remain have kept the group active. In Feb- ruary of 1944 the initiation of a freshman pledge class brought the active membership up to twenty men. NEWTONIAN SOCIETY N 1927 the Newtonian society was founded at Lehigh as a Freshman honorary J mathematics society. The purposes of the club are to promote interest in mathe- matics among the members of the freshman class, to promote friendships among students and faculty members, and to provide opportunity for intellectual activity outside the classroom. Naturally, Lehigh ' s accelerated schedule and the slashed civilian enrollment have had their effect on the Newtonian society. Normally a member becomes inactive at the middle of his sophomore year. The accelerated program, however, pushed the past class through school so fast that they were juniors before dropping out of the soci- ety. Since the qualification necessary for membership is an A in a mathematics course, the membership of the society is dropping in proportion to the decrease in college enrollment; but the organization is attempting to keep the society as large as possible by a lengthened term of active membership. At present, the club is quite active, and monthly meetings are well attended. PHI ETA SIGMA Bac Row: Sidebotham, Korkegi, Greene, Baer, Ressler, Wagner, Lucken- baeh. Fox, Zirnite.

EPITOME rf PI TAU SIGMA ON D 11 - ca I rr TAU SIGMA, honorary mechanical and industrial engineering fraternity, has carried on this past year despite the fact that the war has depleted its ranks considerably. An initiation banquet was held both in the summer and fall for pledges. At the banquet held in the summer, Mr. J. T. Rea, of Bethlehem Steel Company, spoke on labor unions, and at the fall banquet Mr. Swain, editor of Power Magazine, spoke on How to Get Ahead in the World. The group, in addition, bought a $500 War Bond, and continued the practice of awarding a mechanical engineering handbook to the highest ranking freshman mechanical engineer. The national parent fraternity was founded at the University of Illinois in 1915, and the Pennsylvania Theta chapter of Pi Tau Sigma at Lehigh was chartered in 1927. Since its founding, the group has furnished the smoking lounge in Packard Laboratory. The Lehigh chapter, which was installed by John V. Marteuis, Lehigh ' 94, who, at the time of its founding, was the National Secretary, has expanded to include industrial engineers. There are sixteen active chapters of this honorary in the leading engineer- ing schools of the nation. MUSTARD AND CHEESE NACTIVE DURING the past summer, Mustard and Cheese came to life in J the fall and produced a Broadway play, The Man Who Came to Dinner, with admirable success. The presentation, well worthy of the club ' s reputation, was given at the Bethlehem Civic Theater, through whose courtesy the feminine tal- ent was also secured. Lowell Judis, veteran Mustard and Cheese performer, played the lead, and several ASTP men were among the cast. The comedy was out of necessity well suited to existing conditions since much of the organization ' s scenery had gone to war and the probable number of actors was not too promising. Because of these handicaps, the possibility of producing a series of radio skits over a local station using Army personnel stationed here and fol- lowing the programs with a dance was seriously considered. It was decided, however, to carry on traditionally rather than to experiment in a new field. This then was Mustard and Cheese in the midst of the war years, carrying on as it always has since its founding in 1885 by Richard Harding Davis. The name too has lived on since the club ' s first meetings in Charlie Rennig ' s saloon where mustard-and- cheese sandwiches were traditional bill of fare. Since the coming of the present direc- tor, Albert A. Rights, in 1934, the organisation of the club has been stronger, and there has been a great increase in the success of the group ' s productions.

[108] ry - n iALti, s ■u ORGANIZATIONS • CHEMICAL SOCIETY 7hE STUDENT Chemical society, still one of the most flourishing student or- -U ganizations on the campus this year, continued its program of aiding its mem- bers to get a broad outlook on current chemical industry by presenting movies and speakers to the group at their regular monthly meetings. At the October meeting, at which elections for the coming year were held, a motion picture, entitled Steel for War, was presented; and at the November meet- ing Mr. Gustaff of the Universal Oil Company spoke. Following the custom of having a non-scientific speaker at the annual Christ- mas banquet, Rev. O. A. Welsh spoke on the subject Youth and the Problems of the Post- War World. In addition, members of the society presented the annual play in which the faculty of the chemistry department took its usual ribbing. This banquet, one of the highlights of the entire year ' s activities, has become famous on the campus as one of the best society functions. PI DELTA EPSILON ThE LEHIGH chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon, honorary journalism fraternity, this past year has assisted in the publication of a booklet entitled Knights With- ' out Armor. This booklet presents the two best stories filed by war correspond- ents in both the present conflict and World War I. The selection chosen for World War I, The German Entry into Brussels, was written by Richard Harding Davis, a former Lehigh student. At the last meeting of the winter semester, Pi Delt established a new award to be given annually to the most outstanding freshman journalist. This spring, celebrat- ing the fiftieth anniversary of the Brown and White, the campus newspaper, Pi Delt plans to publish the story of a half-century of journalism at Lehigh. The fraternity was founded on the Lehigh campus in 1920, and since then it has served by trying to improve campus publications, and thus bring distinction to its Alma Mater. It has also aimed at giving members from different publications the opportunity to discuss their grievances openly. Pi Delta Epsilon was founded at Syracuse University in 1909 and although it was originally intended only as a local honorary, it went national in 1910 when the Uni- versity of Nebraska petitioned for a chapter.

EPITOME Tf BROWN AND WHITE 3 URING THE past year the Brown and White appeared each Wednesday as 0 J J a weekly, rather than semi-weekly, as in previous years. This is the first de- ,— parture from the original status since the founding of the newspaper in 1894. It was necessary because of the small and inexperienced staff and the fast-dimin- ishing student body. The Brown and White format retained the style adopted in the summer of 1942, the tabloid, chiefly because of the saving in paper and diminished advertising. This change in format was the first radical change, along with the departmentalization, that the paper had undergone in ten years. Departmentalisation, however, has been abandoned because of the lack of mature, upperclass staff members. Newest addition to the paper is a section, usually two pages, in the regular six- page edition, edited by and for the Army Trainees stationed on the campus. G.I. — Lehigh Style, as it is titled, is edited entirely by trainees, who were newspapermen in civilian life. It contains news, features, and pictures of special interest to the soldier at Lehigh, and provides civilian students with a complete coverage of all campus Army news. The paper has consistently won first class honors in the Associated Collegiate Press and in 1935 was All-American. The January 19, 1944, issue of the Brown and White was the Fiftieth Anniver- sary issue of the publication, but instead of a large fifty-page edition, the paper com- promised because of war conditions with a two-page insert on, things historical. In explaining the quiet celebration the paper stated, We ' d like to do better, but being fifty years old, we feel very mellow, very tolerant, and very judicious. The newspaper lab in the basement of Drown Hall is one of the best unified and equipped of any college newspaper in the nation. A completely-equipped darkroom, and a copy-desk — reporter set-up much like that of the city room in a regular metro- politan newspaper — characterize these quarters. Half the regular complement of thirty typewriters went to war when they were sold to the government. The Brown and White combines an extra-curricular activity with class work, in that one hour credit is given for each semester that the course is taken. After three semesters of service on the Brown and White staff members receive service bonuses and important officers on the staff receive a remuneration. The walls of the lab are decorated with large photo panels of the activities of the staff members and printers in writing and producing the paper. At the present time the staff numbers forty-one, although in a normal year the staff is more than a hundred. Theodore Peters, Jr., held the editorship of the Brown and White during the summer and fall of 1943, while John E. Doxey served in the same position during the semester ending in February, ' 44, followed by Lee A. Green- baum in the spring session. The business of the paper has been cared for, during these semesters, by Robert L. Smith, Paul Franz, and Anthony Fortosis.

Looking over the slowly diminishing student number and the other physical and spiritual dis- ruptions suffered by the university body, it was evident what the war has done to Lehigh and what Lehigh has done for and about the war. This is the story that the 1944 Epitome has told — a story which Lehigh will long remember. The oldest of the university ' s publications, the Epitome began in 1875, ten years after the founding of Lehigh. At that time it was published by the sophomore class, primarily to provide an advertising medium for the school and its functions and it continued as such until the turn of the century when the book dropped its advertising quality and carried the campus wit and humor. After a short time the Burr, now succeeded by the Review and the Bachelor, took over the field of college humor and the Epitome changed over to the student record book which it now is. The officers were originally determined by popular election. This, how ever, led to the election of men unsuited to the editorial and business po- sitions of responsibility. In 1931 the Epitome was again reorganized, mem- bership on the board and selection of officers being based on a competitive basis. The most capable sophomore competitors were chosen for the six junior editorships from which were selected the editor-in-chief, assistant edi- tor, senior section editor, and art editor for the next book. At the present time this system too had to be revised since there were few men from the previous book that remained in school. [11T] EPITOME !)• ti- BAND 0 s I J N THE hearts of all Lehigh men there will long linger the memories of the strains of the Alma Mater as it floated from Taylor stadium on those brisk fall afternoons. Today more than ever the echoing notes of the silver trumpets and the resounding beat of the drums portray the spirit of carry-on which has character- ized all of Lehigh ' s extra-curricular activities this year. Normally one of the largest organizations on the Lehigh campus with an enroll- ment of about one hundred and forty, the Band this past year diminished to a com- paratively small forty members. It again added enthusiasm to the rallies, athletic events, and ROTC drills, and presented the fine concerts to which Lehigh has been accustomed. The Band was founded 36 years ago but did not become the organization which it is at present until 1926 when Dr. T. Edgar Shields, faculty director, obtained music, instruments and uniforms from a disbanded Bethlehem Steel Company band and used these as a nucleus around which to build the present organization. The traditional formations between the halves of the home football games, for all of which the Band played, were, while not on the large scale of pre-war days, still enjoyed by all spectators. The Dad on Dad ' s day and the famous heart of house- party time still made their appearance. At the time of the death of Walter Okeson, Lehigh trustee, the Band at half time spelled out Okie, as a tribute to the man who had meant so much to Lehigh. During the summer semester the Band gave one of its famous concerts on the cam- pus at the flag-pole. In addition they played at the graduation in October, 1943, and would have played at the February, 1944, graduation had not the entire graduation exercises occurred on Sunday. As usual the ROTC regimental reviews were given added color and spirit by the band ' s appearance. Freshman and sophomore members of the Band are exempted from taking military science and tactics, and ROTC drill, courses which other underclass- men find compulsory. The Band is one of the most successful student-managed organizations on the campus. The officers of the group are responsible for the success of the Band, but each Band member is given opportunity to help decide what formations the Band will try and what popular pieces the group will play. Rehearsals are held once weekly except during football seasons when practice is more frequent. Each year, usually in the spring, a banquet is held at which time the officers are installed for the coming year.

The group reor- ganized in 1885 into the Glee club and Mandolin Society, which was much broader in scope than the Choral club. In 1910 the present Glee club was founded. Today the Combined Musical Clubs consist of the Glee club, the symphony or- chestra, the Lehigh Collegians. The Glee club, the largest of the three organizations, has been accustomed to making several trips a year and has often performed over major radio stations. At times the membership has been so great that two groups, a junior and a senior section, have had to be formed. A year ' s seasoning in the junior section was required before a singer was admitted to the more experienced group. Naturally the war has had its drastic effect upon the Glee club. Rationing of gasoline and overcrowded transportation facilities stopped any long trips which might have been planned by the group. In the spring of 1943 the Glee club took its last trip, a very successful one, to Beaver College in Jenkintown. Since that time, however, the club has not been inactive. It has put on several concerts on the campus, both alone and in conjunction with the Glee club of Moravian College for Women. The annual Christmas Carol service, in which both clubs participated, was especially well received. The summer of 1943 saw 1,200 soldiers come to Lehigh under the Army ' s Spe- cialized Training Program. Dr. T. Edgar Shields, Director of the Combined Musical Clubs for many years, immediately searched their ranks for material. Trouble was en- countered with military schedules which made it impossible for the ASTP men to prac- tice at the same time as the civilian group, so Dr. Shields organized a separate Glee club for the Army men. The two clubs collaborate in concerts, such as the Christmas Carol program. The Lehigh Collegians, the college dance band, also felt the heavy hand of the decreased enrollment, but a revamped group has played for numerous gatherings both at the University and in Bethlehem. Notable among the dances at which the Col- legians have played were two affairs held by the USO Community Center for the benefit of the ASTP and other servicemen. The symphony orchestra has also been very hard hit by the war, and its usual program of concerts has been drastically cut by the lack of musicians. The only con- cert in which the group appeared this year was the annual Christmas Carol service. GLEE CLUB Bac Row: Loch, Griffith, Hamme, Ten Eyck, Ward, Shettel, Jones, Gerb, Grub- roeyer.

It was the outgrowth of the Lehigh Student Concerts Group, founded a year earlier. Purpose of the society is to foster the interpretation, appreciation, and composition of music on the campus; and membership is open to men of all classes who have a deep interest in classical music. Musical skill, though desirable, is not necessary for mem- bership. It has been the custom of Tone to present each year a series of concerts by out- side artists and to make several trips to the Metropolitan Opera, concerts by the Phila- delphia Symphony Orchestra, or other musical performances. These activities have been greatly decreased because of the war, but the society is carrying on actively here at Lehigh. The most common occupation of Tone men is listening to records from the large collection in the chapel. The society has meetings every month and recently gave two concerts. At one of these Dick Friend and Bob Mathes, two Tone members, gave a well-received exhibition of stereophonies, three-dimensional sound. Plans for the coming year are incomplete, but the society has definitely decided to continue in existence as long as any members are in school. ALPHA LAMBDA OMEGA LPHA LAMBDA OMEGA, newest addition to Lehigh ' s Greek letter family, T J has grown in size and prestige during the past year. Developing rapidly after a somewhat lagging start in 1942, the fraternity now boasts of its representation in all phases of university activity. In the past year five of its members have been assistant instructors; the secretary of Town Council has been an A.L.O.; there have been several Alpha Lambda Omegas in varsity sports; its scholastic average has been far above the university average; and it has sponsored more social activities than any other town group. During this time approximately 85 per cent of its members have been doing part-time w ork for defense. Notable among Alpha Lambda Omega ' s accomplishments has been the establish- ment of headquarters in Room 118, Packard Laboratory, with the able assistance of Professor J. L. Beaver. The men of Alpha Lambda Omega have proven that the club- room was more than a place to loaf and play cards. But Alpha Lambda Omega ' s greatest source of pride is its long list of Lehigh alumni now in the service of their country. It is to these men that Alpha Lambda Omega has pledged itself to live and to grow as it strives, with the rest of the univer- sity family, to build an even greater Lehigh for the post-war world.

[123] ATH LETICS y ACING an acute shortage of manpower at the start of the present sports year, -f- Lehigh University nevertheless decided to carry on as long as possible, and as ' well as possible, on the sports front. Early in August there still seemed a pos- sibility that the Army would relent and, following the Navy ' s lead, permit the AST trainees to compete in intercollegiate sports; but a final ruling from the War Depart- ment later that month definitely ended any hopes along that line. Faced, thus, with the question of competing with teams using Naval cadets, Eb Caraway, athletic di- rector of the University, took a firm stand, cancelling all gridiron engagements with schools using service students on their teams. The remainder of the Engineer squads, however, decided to take on all comers, no matter the cost; and so the season began. The 1943 gridironers, greatly weakened by the loss of all but three of last year ' s squad, came up with some very promising material. After the opening game, a score- less deadlock with Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, graduation came along to ruin all hope by snatching the services of three of the top men from the squad, and the draft still further depleted its waning strength. The season ended with the Brown team posting a record of 1 tie and 5 losses. Soccer fared no better, and went through a four- game season, losing all four, in spite of the stubborn resistance which the team put up. Fair-haired squad of the season was Billy Sheridan ' s mat combine. With no regulars returning from last year ' s ace team and with only limited material available Billy put out a strong octet. This squad swept through an eight-meet season, losing only one meet. In the Eastern Intercollegiate matches Lehigh placed in a tie for third with the University of Pennsylvania behind the Navy and the Army. The cross-country, swim- ming, and diamond teams all turned in records that, while not impressive in any sense of the word, nevertheless did much to hold up the sporting honor of Lehigh. Though at times woefully inexperienced and often sadly outmanned, nevertheless the teams representing the University on South Mountain fought through to the bit- ter end, and, even though going down to defeat many times, proved their spirit again and again on the field of battle. CENTER: Taylor Gymnasium [124] ATHLETICS • FOOTBALL y 7ACED WITH the prospect of discontinuing intercollegiate football at the be- (■SJ- ginning of the season, Lehigh, in company with her sister institutions of the ' Middle Three, decided to carry on, using only civilian students, with no sub- sidiation of athletes by any of the three schools. This decision was reached at a meet- ing of the presidents of the three colleges last summer. Still one more problem had to be disposed of before the gridsters took to the field. Should the relatively weak and inexperienced civilian college elevens compete against those of more rugged Naval training school athletes? Lehigh faced the problem squarely, with several Navy schools on her schedule, but Eb Caraway announced that all games with schools using Naval trainees would be cancelled, at least until the army permitted the participation of the ASTP trainees. Not until September 29 was the 1943 grid squad permitted to begin official prac tice, due to the agreement reached by the presidents of the Middle Three col- leges. On the first day of practice 57 candidates reported to Head Coach Leo Pren- dergast, moved to this position from last year ' s of line coach after the tragic death of George Hoban, beloved mentor of last year ' s powerful squad. Built around a nucleus of four men returned from last year ' s squad, including guard Claude Kurtz, center John Donahue, end Fred Attaway, and back Lyster Frost, a fairly strong squad took the field against Carnegie Tech for the season ' s opener in Pittsburgh on October 16. The Brown team was on the offensive for most of the game, but lacked the necessary punch to cross the last double stripe. The drizzling rain hampered the passing attack which was listed as the Engineers number one asset. Captain Claude Kurtz, playing his last game for Lehigh, played a great game and was largely responsible for the fact that the Techmen could not score. Fullback Bob Wolfe ' s plunging kept the Orange eleven deep in their territory, but twice they did penetrate into Lehigh territory, but they could not tally, and the game ended in a scoreless deadlock. After the Tech game Coach Prendergast was faced with the task of replacing practically the entire starting backfield, due to the graduation of halfback Frost, blocker Bob Long, and the induction into the Army of Bob Wolfe. The center of the line was greatly weakened by the loss of Kurtz, also via the graduation route. Undaunted, however, he proceeded, and soon had the semblance of a team whipped into shape. Lafayette was the opponent the following Saturday. On October 23 the Brown and White journeyed to Easton to open the Middle Three season by tankling with the Leopard, age-old rival, in the 77th game of the series.

EPITOME t on a sweet reverse from Joe Marhefka to Bill Magee. The conversion followed, and - +. a minute later a Lehigh pass was intercepted for another tally. After that the game turned into a rout, and the Leopards proceeded to roll up a 39-7 victory. Lehigh ' s r—i lone tally came when scatback Don Somers took Marhefka ' s punt of the Marquis ' 18 and scooted across. Johnny Heinz converted. After this trimming a group of new volunteers showed up at practice to at- tempt to bolster the team. Seven of them were new freshmen, and there was one sophomore and one senior in the group. A quite different team took the field against the Scarlet of Rutgers in New Brunswick on October 30, but again defeat hit the Engineers between the eyes, as intercepted passes and a blocked kick added to the mag- nificent plunging of Rutger ' s fullback, big Bela Reiger, rolled up several scores. Again Lehigh managed to score only once, when Don Somers, fleet halfback, skidded off- tackle and scampered sixty-odd yards to tally. When the smoke had cleared away the scoreboard read 26-6. The following week the Mountaineers of West Virginia were the guests of the Brown and White in Taylor Stadium. The rugged Mountaineer eleven, outweighing the Engineers almost ten pounds per man, smashed and battered their way through, over, around and under the Lehigh team to roll up an overwhelming 53-6 score. Again the Brown and White was saved from a shutout, this time on a forty-yard dash by halfback Sanford Wilson early in the third period. November 13 Rutgers returned Lehigh ' s visit. Again it was Reiger, blasting Scarlet fullback, who paved the way to victory for the New Brunswick eleven. The two-hundred-pound back seemed unstoppable as he smashed through Lehigh ' s crum- bling line time and again for average gains of close to five yards. Three touchdowns were again the margin of the Scarlet victory, but this time the Engineers failed to score. The final score was 20-0. For the next two weeks the Brown and White squad licked its wounds and girded itself for the coming battle with Lafayette on November 27 in Taylor Stadium. For the first three periods it was Lafayette all the way as the Maroon-clad powerhouse scored almost at will. Paced by the blocking of Walt Sergy, the plunging of Bill Magee, and of Joe Marhefka, the Marquis rolled up a 51-0 third-period lead. The first team, taken out for a short rest, returned to the fray with the idea of piling up at least seventy-eight points. (In 1917 the Engineers ran roughshod over the Leopards, 78-0. This was the worst defeat either team had suffered at the hands of the other in the long history of the rivalry.) The Marquis met stubborn resistance, however, and could score only once in the last period. Lehigh, meanwhile, found a passing combination, Bevan to Somers, which, from a spread formation, carried the Engineers deep into Maroon territory. It was not in the books, however, for the Engineers to score; and though the ball twice rested inside the two-yard line when it changed hands, the Leopards were able to keep their goal-line uncrossed, and the final score was 58-0. So the season went into the books. It was not what could be called a successful season, yet it did something for those who took part in it that can never be taken away from them. Each man who was on the squad was a far better man at the end of the season than he was when he came out for the team. If any one man deserves praise, that man is Johnny Donahue, veteran center, and co-captain of the squad. [128] ATHLETICS • ki BASKETBALL ' iTH only one man, Lefty Wilson, returning from last year ' s cage quintet, but with the addition of Frankie Majczan, star from Moravian, gracing the hardwood, Coach Leo Prendergast ' s charges took to the court on Dec. 1 1 to open the 194 3 -44 cage season. Ted Megas, last year ' s captain of the junior varsity quint, with Majczan and Wil- son, headed the willing list of 25 that reported for opening practice. After extensive weeding of candidates, the squad was cut to fifteen, and ran through the season with a record of 12 losses and four wins. Dec. 1 1 the Brown and White courtsters journeyed to Franklin and Marshall, to drop a close game, 41-30. It was a battle all the way, but the more experienced Blue and White team managed to climb out triumphant, despite the brilliant floor work of Captain Majczan. The following Wednesday Muhlenberg met the Engineers in Grace Hall, and swept through to a stinging 73-52 victory. Again Frankie starred, but he alone could not stop the smoothly functioning Mule quint. Lafayette next gave the Engineers the taste of defeat, running roughshod be- hind the brilliant sharpshooting of Andy Skvoretz and Bill McGee. Bucknell made it four straight losses for the home hoopsters when they triumphed in the first game after the Christmas holidays by a 54-27 tally. Just one week later, on January 14, Bucknell paid a return visit to Lehigh, and the game proved to be much closer than the previous meeting. The Bisons skidded to a 47-35 win, but Majczan and Collins tossed in enough markers to make the going a bit uncomfortable for the Bucknell quint. The next day the Brown and White team finally broke into the win column at the expense of Lebanon Valley. Led by the offensive play of Majczan and Collins, Hit ' em hard: Up for another two points WMB ' ' f ' lHBB [129] ATHLETICS • and the defensive work of Megas and Ted Horlacher, the Lehigh team moved to a 51-38 victory. The next to the closest game of the season ensued the next Wednesday as the Marquis of Lafayette journyed to Bethlehem to take on the Engineers. Up until the final minute it was anyone ' s game, but a last-minute dual-pointer by Skvoretz provided the margin for a 44-46 Lafayette triumph. Gettysburg College tripped the Engineers next, emerging on the long end of a 54-35 score, and a week later the Lafayette Leopard came roaring to Grace Hall for the third of a four-game series. Undaunted by losses in the previous two clashes, the Pren- dergast-coached combine snarled back at the Maroon and Grey and snapped their way to take the honors with a 48-37 score. Albright was the next foe to meet the Lehigh combine. For the first half the score was never more than three points apart, but the greater experience and smoothness of the Albright quint told heavily in the last half, sending them to an 81-39 win. The last six games of the season resulted in two wins and four losses. Lebanon Valley and Gettysburg fell before the Engineers by scores of 47-39 and 45-37, but Franklin and Marshall, Muhlenberg, Albright and Lafayette each took the measure of the Lehigh court combine. Frankie Majczan was undoubtedly th e mainstay of the ' 44 team. In the fifteen games in which he participated he emerged with the average of 18 points to a game. Frankie once rolled up 36 points against the Franklin and Marshall team in Grace Hall to snap the individual scoring record set by Bill Binder two years ago. Great improvement was noticeable as the season progressed and the men became more experienced and cooler under fire. Team play picked up immensely as the games rolled by, and as the men became used to the methods of Coach Leo. Of the last eight games of the season, an even split was obtained. WRESTLING jILLY SHERIDAN ' S grapplers, greatly weakened by the loss of all of last year ' s team via graduation and the Army, nevertheless turned in a stellar per- formance over their nine-meet route, winning seven, tying the Princeton serv- ice team, and losing only to the star-studded Navy mat octet. When the season opened with Brooklyn Polytechnic in Grace Hall on December 1 1 , things started off with a bang, Lehigh scoring pins in four classes and decisions in three others to walk away with an easy 31-3 decision. The Brooklyn team was the only all-civilian team that Sheridan ' s non-service grapplers came up against during the entire season.

EPITOME - j- On December 18 the first of the service teams to meet Sheridan ' s grapplers, Tf Swarthmore ' s V-12 combine, came to Grace Hall led by Reed Fulton, star heavyweight v last year on Lehigh ' s mats. After the smoke of battle had cleared away Lehigh was on i—( the top of a 19-15 score over the Garnet sailors. Captain Ted Niewenhaus ' pin pro- vided the margin of the victory. The third straight triumph of the season was registered on January 5 over Muhlen- berg College. Another Navy team, the Mules provided some very bad moments for the Engineer fans, and the issue was in doubt until redheaded Joe Donahue decisioned Muhlenberg ' s Bob Smith in the 165 -lb. class to provide the needed margin for a 19-13 win. Captain Ted Niewenhaus, 155, and Swede Lindholm, 145, were the only Le- high matmen to win on falls. Lehigh ' s undefeated record went on the block on January 8 as they met a strong Princeton octet in New Jerey. The best that the Tiger grapplers could do, however, was to hold the rampaging Engineers to a 16-16 deadlock. Lehigh ' s only pins came through Capt. Niewenhaus and Bill Barnard in the 155 and 165 classes. Next foe to feel the might of Billy ' s men was the Big Red of Cornell, who found itself on the short end of a 14-13 tally. Young Swede Lindholm ' s pin over varsity holdover Bishop provided the margin for the victory, coming in the 145 weight class with but seconds left in the bout. It was the only pin registered by either team in the meet. January 29 found Penn in Grace Hall, trying to avenge last year ' s defeat at the hands of the Brown and White grapplers — the defeat which snapped Penn ' s win- ning streak at 23. After the points were added it was seen that Penn had again fallen before the Engineer matmen, this time by a 23-12 score. Wins by decision at 165 and pins at 175 and heavy turned the tide in favor of the South Mountain wrestlers. Then it was Navy, headed by Male MacDonald and Josh Hensen, who finally found the key to win over the Lehigh matmen. On February 5 at Annapolis the Mid- dies ruined a perfect season for Billy ' s men by sweeping to a 25-5 triumph. The only Lehigh winner was Bill Bernard, who flattened Don Brimm in the 175 class in 6 minutes and 46 seconds with a bar arm and reverse chancery. Resuming their winning ways against Muhlenberg two weeks later, Lehigh had little difficulty in disposing of the Mules, this time by a 24-6 tally. The issue was never in doubt from the second bout on. The finale of the dual meet season was held on February 26 against the Nittany Lions of Penn State in Grace Hall. Pins by Ber- nard and Fred Christ provided the margin of the win. Lehigh was host to the annual Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Tournament this year, the 44th of the series. Navy walked off with most of the honors, winning championships in the 121, 145, and 155 lb. classes and amassing a total of 32 points. Second place was taken by the Cadets from West Point with 26.

Captain Ted Niewenhaus, 155, and Roy Zackey, 136, placed second in their i— I respective divisions as the only other Lehigh place winners. It was a most successful season, no matter how you look at it. The only blemish on the slate was the 25-5 defeat at the hands of the Middies, an event which was almost a foregone conclusion. The power the Navy combine had amassed from all parts of the country was just too much for any team in the East. It is a fact, however, that every single bout of the meet was closely contested, and that the Brown and White matmen came closest to handing the Middies a setback. ffl SOCCER TTH THE Navy ban on opponents applying only to the football team, Billy Sheridan ' s soccer squad faced a five-meet season, playing only games with colleges using naval trainees. Between thirty and thirty-five men reported for the opening practice late in September, but for the most part this material was al- most completely without experience. Five men returned from last year ' s varsity formed the nucleus of the team which took the field against Swarthmore on October 2. Phil Berg was elected captain of the squad, and, together with Lindholm, Swayne, Ramsdell, and Ely, all from last year ' s team, and several of the greener candidates put up a game fight, but the much more experienced Garnet hooters slid to an easy 4-0 triumph. After this game Berg, Swayne, and Ramsdell all graduated, further depicting the squad of experienced material, and Swede Lindholm was elected captain to take over Berg ' s post. Navy was the next opponent for the Lehigh booters, and October 30 at Annapolis the Brown and White again took it on the chin, 4-0. The smoothly func- tioning Navy team was held at bay throughout the first period, leading by only one goal, largely due to the brilliant defensive play of Vic Pinada and Nester Blanco. A third period drive proved too much for the Brown team, however. On the sixth a home-and-home series was played with Muhlenberg and twice the Mules were victorious, by scores of 2-0 and 3-0. Only the brilliant defensive back- field play of the Engineers prevented the score from mounting much farther. October 20, and the last chance came for the Engineer booters, and with it the University of Pennsylvania. Scoreless for the entire season, once again the Engineers failed to break the ice, going down to a 4-0 defeat, despite the brilliant defensive work of Pinada and Blanco, and the stubborn goal-keeping of Bill Bloecher.

SUMMER BASEBALL i- l SUMMER SCHEDULE of 23 games was arranged for the 1943 baseball T J team. The pitching staff, headed by San Wilson, backed by Roily Stoehr Swede Lindholm, fought through the season, amassing a total of 10 wins, 12 losses, and one tie, a nine-inning battle with St. Peter and Paul Athletic Club. The season opened traditionally with a battle against nearby Lafayette College, and the Marquis proceeded to climb all over the Brown team, 9-1. The opportunity for revenge was denied the Engineers as the Leopard team cancelled their mid-season scheduled meeting. Of the 2 3 -game schedule only eight games were intercollegiate contests. The above contest dropped to Lafayette was the opener, and the Garnet of Swarthmore followed it. The Engineers rolled to a 6-3 win behind Roily Stoehr. Princeton next fell victim to the Brown combine, as Wilson pitched a fine game, shutting the Tigers out 2-0 over the eight innings played before a rainstorm cut the contest short, in the midst of a promising Tiger rally. Penn State next met the Lehigh diamondeers, and scampered to a stinging 12-4 triumph. The home-and-home series played with Penn were the next two intercolle- giate contests, with Penn taking both, by scores of 4-2 and 14-2. Princeton then came to Lehigh and avenged their previous defeat at the hands of the Engineers by sliding through to a 5-4 win. The finale of the intercollegiate season was with Swarthmore, and once again the Garnet succumbed to the Brown Sluggers, this time by a 5-1 tally. The remainder of the 23-game season was played with various local semi-profes- sional teams around the town, including Hungarian A. C, Pembroke A. C, Ray Mar, and several others. SWIMMING ICK BROWN ' S natators faced a curtailed season this year, due to transporta- J tion difficulties, and only three meets were scheduled for the 1944 team. A home and home series with Temple and a meet with Stevens provided the bill- of-fare. Faced with a lack of experienced material, Dick Brown ' s men faced Stevens in the season opener with a team composed of, for the most part, men who were receiving their baptism of fire. After the spray had settled down the Stevens team was well out in front by a 43-14 tally. Fax Landstreet copped the only first for the Engineer Mermen and he splashed through to win the 50-yard freestyle in the time of 25 seconds, slightly over the pool record. January 29 found the tankmen traveling to Temple to engage the Templar com- bine in the first of a home-and-home stand.

Cn Finale of the shortest season on the books for many years found the Temple team paying a return visit the next Saturday afternoon, to seek satisfaction for their treatment at the hands of Lehigh ' s team the previous week. Again it was Landstreet and Hill who led the team to triumph as each captured two events, Landstreet taking the 50 and 100- yard freestyle events while Hill annexed the 100 breast and 440 freestyle. One man was entered in the Intercollegiate meet held at Yale on March 24 and 25. Fax Landstreet, captain elect of next year ' s tank team, represented Lehigh in the 50-yard freestyle, gunning to snap his time of 25 seconds set in Taylor pool. He was eliminated in the second heat as Al Ford of Yale won the title with the time of 22.2 seconds. CROSS COUNTRY I INUS their coach, Jim Gordon, who left for the Navy last year, and with 1 I most of the squal gone with the draft, graduation and for numerous other reasons, the two men left from last year ' s squad began to form a team, mostly composed of green, willing freshmen with a love for running. Ralph Evans and Bill Kirkham, veterans of last year ' s competition, undertook the duties of coaches, and proceeded to go to work. Three meets were scheduled, one with Muhlenberg in Allentown and one in Bethlehem, and a third with West Chester. Seven men formed the squad which traveled to Muhlenberg on Saturday, October 2, where they opened the season, going down to defeat, 37-22. Evans and Kirkham placed fourth and third respectively to lead the Engineer thinclads acr oss the line. November 6 brought the second meet of the season, and also the last, since the Muhlenberg Harriers canceled the return meet scheduled for the Lehigh campus. West Chester came to Lehigh to nose out the Engineer Harriers by a close 26-29 score, although Bill Kirkham crossed the finish line to win the first position. In this meet Muhlenberg was supposed to compete, but a last minute cancellation turned the affair into a duel between the other two teams. No letters were awarded to the runners, because the athletic department felt that there were not enough meets held to justify the awards. The seven men who consti- tuted the squad were: Ralph Evans, Bill Kirkham, Robert Balla, Robert Hicks, Don Shettel, Robert Wallick, and Walter Kluk. [138] ATHLETICS . FENCING A i OVEMBER 1 1 was the opening date of the fencing season, as far as the team 1 itself was concerned. On that date fourteen men reported to the fencing room in Taylor gym to begin practice for the coming season. Of this group, several were returning from last year ' s ace team, a team which swept undefeated through its schedule, including Al Ciaffardini, who assisted in instructing and coaching duties. A new coach was appointed for the team in the person of Marcel Cabijos. The team elected Charlie Jones, returning letterman, as captain, since Ciaffardini would not be able to compete in any of the meets during the season. Michael Gluck, manager of the team, then set out to arrange a schedule, a task which proved impossible. After contact- ing practically every school in the east, he finally arranged a meet with nearby Snyder High School. Every school he contacted has dropped fencing for the duration. During January the Snyder stickmen came to Lehigh and returned with the Brown and White team ' s collective scalp hanging from their foils by virtue of a 5-4 win. Only men to take bouts for Lehigh were Jones and Hewitt. The only weapon used in the meet was the foil, since the visitors had no one experienced in the use of the epee or the sabre. -u McAdams, Poland, Wachtel, Michel, Huyett, Ciaffardini, Gluck, Jones, Cabijos [139] LIVING GROUPS -r v A , -c + • .% _« ' - «« -  ■ ' ■ awe + ' - r 1 ■■ ' ■ ; ' y$ - 1 1 r Sj , ' • -fc -Oik ?E t«£ V ■ ' ■.« ■ ■ ■,■ ff ww ■ . «b ! «vP i LIVING GROUPS yN THE fall of 1942, fraternity life at Lehigh faced the beginning of its _ first real crisis since the last war. Soon after the usual rushing season in September, men started leaving school to enter the armed forces. Despite these losses which have continued up to the present time, the major- ity of Lehigh fraternities have been able to retain a nucleus of their men. Lehigh witnessed the arrival of the first contingent of Army men in June of 1943. Dormitory men were forced to give up their quarters in order to make room for the army. To help house these dorm men, the fraternities volunteered to take in boarders thus replacing the losses they had suffered. By September of 1943, all the houses on the campus were occupied by the army and the problem of finding places for these students arose. The major- ity of these men moved into the off -campus fraternities while others turned to boarding houses or whatever lodgings they were able to find. During the period that followed, the fraternities witnessed trying times as students continued to enter the services and their numbers were being depleted to a fraction of what they were in 1942. Despite these hardships, much of the old Lehigh spirit was kept alive and fraternities carried on in the usual fashion. Rushing incoming freshmen continued to a more mild extent, and fraternity activities went on with some modifications. Intramural sports and the various extra-curricular activities felt the heaviest blow, as the students ' attentions were diverted to other things, men were devoting more and more time to their work and immediate problems in order to ac- celerate their courses so that school and fraternity activities were no longer as much of their daily routine. Social affairs, which have always been a big [142] factor in fraternity men ' s lives, experienced a large change. Gala weekends, big name bands, and the like gave way to more conservative functions. At the present time ' the outlook is not too encouraging. New govern- mental draft rulings will deplete the University enrollment to a small per- centage of what it was in 1942. The only students remaining will be those under age and those students unfit for military service for various reasons. This will surely affect fraternities to a serious extent ' but many of them probably will be able to remain open for some time by housing more board- ers and incoming freshmen. Taylor Hall [ 143 J 1 INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL 7 HE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL was formed in the spring of 1919, and as stated in the constitution the purposes of the Council are to promote a more intimate relationship between the various fraternities and the student body, to develop closer relationships among the fraternities at Lehigh by means of interfrater- nity athletics and affairs, to lend a wider support to all fraternity functions, and to attempt further to promote the welfare of the University in general. The acceleration of studies and the war have brought about many problms which the Council has had to deal with. Formal rushing periods have been done away with for the duration of the war, as have dues. The Interfraternity Ball which used to be an annual affair has become a semi-annual event for the duration. When the Army sent its numerous trainees under the Army Specialized Train- ing Program to Lehigh it became necessary to take over all the fraternity houses on campus for housing the service men. Thus, we found all of the members of these groups moving into the houses off campus. The Council has also cooperated with the University on the problem of securing housing facilities for the dormitory men and for the incoming freshmen classes. Although one fraternity has given up its charter for the duration, the Council still has representation from all twenty-nine houses. The Council has been trying to operate on as normal a program as is possible under wartime circumstances. The ac- celerated program has also brought about numerous changes in the personnel of the officers during the past year. In the spring of 1943 Phil Berg, Jack Schwartz, Chuck Hilton, and Bob Smith were elected to the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. During the semester Hilton left school for military service and Jack Doxsey replaced him. In the fall Berg and Schwartz graduated and Bob Moore and Bill Bloecher were elected to replace them. Dave Gearhart was elected sec- retary and Bob Smith remained as treasurer. In February of 1944 Gearhart and Smith graduated. John H. Moore and Paul Franz were elected to replace them, while Bob Moore and Bloecher were retained in their capacities as president and vice-president respectively. The IF Ball, given in January, 1944, was one of the best social events given in Lehigh in the past few years.

Union with the Rainbow Society of the W.W.W. fra- ternity in 1866 began the expansion that has resulted in a total organization of sev enty-four chapters and an alumni membership of over 30,000. Beta Lambda chapter was founded at Lehigh in 1874. The house occupied two residences in town until 1914, when it moved to its present home, which was the second fraternity house con- structed on the campus. The most important of the fraternity publications is its journal, begun as a monthly in September, 1877, and called the Crescent, from one of the fraternity ' s prominent emblems. In 1886, when the Delta Tau Delta fraternity merged with the Rainbow fraternity, the name of the publication was changed to The Rainbow. The badge of the fraternity is a nearly square shield with concave sides, display- ing the gold letters ATA on black enamel. Above is an eye, below a crescent, and in each corner a star. Although the armed forces have absorbed most of the Delts from Lehigh, Delta Tau Delta remains active. As long as there is a Delt on the campus, Delta Tau Delta will remain a close-knit, active chapter. Keeping the portals of Beta Lambda chapter open for the return of our brothers in the fight is one of the main objectives of the remaining Delts. Delta T au Delta is proud of its brothers in the service and the duties that they are performing. The Delts remaining at Lehigh are by no means idle for, as in the past, they have taken an enthusiastic part in Lehigh activities. D.T.D. boasts members of Cyanide, including the treasurer; the president of Tau Beta Pi; and members in O.D.K. The Delts are active in the publications of Lehigh, and have members in Mus- tard and Cheese. The house held, in January, 1944, a joint initiation with the Delt chapter at Stevens Institute, an affair marked by closer friendship and brotherhood.

A X A l rf ANY BROTHERS as well as pledges have entered the armed forces since ] I Pearl Harbor, a few having already seen action overseas. A great number ' ' of Lambda Chis in nearly all branches of the service are still in training in this country. At the time of graduation in May, 1943, twenty-three men still re- mained at Lehigh, but when school reopened for the summer semester only six were left to carry on. However, despite the decreased enrollment in the University, the Lambda Chis had ten actives by the end of the summer. It was then decided to invite men from other living groups to live in the chapter house in order to remain on a sound financial basis. The fraternity is well represented in intermural sports, having shown up well in baseball, wrestling, basketball, and football, and various other activities. Lamba Chis are also members of the varsity football, basketball, cross-country, baseball, and swim- ming teams. There are also fellows in university honorary societies such as Cyanide and Tau Beta Pi. The fraternity also has members of the Band, Photography Club, and Mustard and Cheese. Occasionally a letter is received from a Marine, Air Cadet, Navy or Army man informing the brothers of their many daily activities in all corners of the globe. The fraternity, founded at Boston University, November 2, 1909, as a professional law fraternity, soon developed into a social fraternity with the admission of three chapters in 1912. It has developed rapidly and now has 107 active undergraduate chapt ers or Zetas with an alumni body of over 30,000. Four years ago Lambda Chi ' s growth was greatly accelerated by a merger with another national fraternity, Theta Kappa Nu. The Lehigh chapter, in existence seventeen years, received its charter in 1926 through the efforts of three members of a local organization, Delta Theta. Among its traditions, Lambda Chi Alpha awards each year a Freshman Cup to the member of that class with the highest scholarship, best house interest, and the most activities.

It was not long, however, before they began to feel the effects of this country ' s entry into the war. In the next few months, two or three men were lost to the armed forces via the draft. Under the University ' s accelerated pro- gram, the Phi Delts were able to keep the house operating through the summer of 1942. When the Air Corps called up its reserves in February, the ranks were depleted by three brothers; and at the end of the Spring Semester, Pennsylvania Eta suffered her greatest loss, losing twenty men when the ROTC, Naval Reserves, and Marine Re- serves were called into active duty. The six brothers left pledged four freshmen and filled the remaining vacancies with dormitory men. In September, the Army contracted with the University to take over the house for the use of the ASTP. The chapter did not relinquish its active status, but moved in with Phi Sigma Kappa on Delaware Avenue; and at the beginning of the Fall semester, the Phi Delt ' s moved into their present home at the Kappa Alpha house. With nine active brothers, one pledge, and eight brothers returned to Lehigh by the Army comprising the active chapter at present, the Phi Delts have high hopes of carrying on during the emergency and of building up to normal strength as soon as the war is over. Phi Delta Theta was founded at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. The six found- ers met secretly the day after Christmas, 1848, to bind more strongly the deep friend- ship and mutual interest that existed between them. Hindered in its early growth by anti-fraternity regulations, the fraternity ' s development was slow until after the Civil War. At that time the southern and eastern chapters were installed, and today there are one hundred and seven chapters in all parts of the United States and Canada. Orig- inally started in 1882 the Lehigh chapter became inactive after four years but it was soon revived in 1887. The present Phi Delta Theta house was built on the campus in 1917.

The Le- ' high Chapter, originated by six men as the Pioneer Club, organized to main- tain their college friendships. In 1915, when Pi Lambda Phi had expanded and become well known, the Pioneer Club of Lehigh petitioned for admission and became the Lambda Chapter, the ninth to be admitted. The national fraternity, as a result of a merger in 1940 with Pi Beta Delta, now consists of thirty-three chapters spread throughout the United States. From 1915 until 1931 the chapter house was located at Market and Center Streets; but in 1931 the location was changed to Bishopthorpe Street. The fraternity acquired its present home in 1941. Pi Lambda Phi has always rated high in scholarship. Freshman and sophomore honors have been won during the past year by many members of the fraternity, and one member has had the distinction of being elected to Phi Beta Kappa. The chapter has won the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity scholarship cup more often than any other fraternity. During the past year Pi Lambda Phi has been active in athletics, both intramural and intercollegiate, and also in extra-curricular activities. There were Pi Lam ' s on the varsity football, soccer, swimming, track, wrestling, basketball, and fencing teams in the past year. Other activities in which Pi Lambda Phi members have actively partici- pated include Cyanide, Mustard and Cheese, Brown and White, Epitome, Phi Eta Sigma, Band and other clubs and honorary associations.

Although the chapter lost many men to the armed forces last spring, the house has remained nearly filled at all times and today there are only Sig actives or pledges in the house. To date there are well over fifty men from this chapter in the armed forces, and two of them have already given their lives. As with other chapters, the men are all over the world — one is a lieutenant with the Fifth Army in Italy, another is flying sup- plies from India to China, while others have seen active service in the Southwest Pacific area. The first Lehigh man to be killed in the war was a graduate of this chapter — George Ellstrom. The men who make up the active chapter today keep in touch with these men by means of the Service Sig, a mimeographed letter sent out every month. This letter contains news items of interest and gives addresses of men. Letters of appreciation have come from all parts of the country from former Lehigh men who are interested in their Alma Mater. Throughout the summer and fall semester the Sigs have remained active in the extra-curricular field. Men from this chapter have been editors of the Epitome and the Brown and White. Two men received soccer letters, and another played varsity football. Two men from the chapter have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, three Sigs were mentioned in the last collegiate Who ' s Who, and other men have been active in course societies and honor groups. Charles Norlin, who graduated in May, 1943, was honored this summer when he was chosen to represent this chapter in the annual Balfour award. He won the prov- ince award for being the most outstanding graduating Sig and placed well in the national competition. The Balfour award is made yearly to the outstanding graduat- ing Sigma Chi and is considered one of the most unique awards in fraternal lfie. Sigma Chi was founded at Miami Universty on June 28, 1855, and has at pres- ent 103 active chapters in both this country and Canada.

Since its -_ inception, it has rapidly expanded to all corners of the United States, now having 69 chapters and 25,000 members. It is one of the largest Greek-letter fraternities extant. There are two features which make Sigma Phi Epsilon unique as a fraternity. The first is the life membership plan: the second is the Sigma Phi Epsilon plan of finance, developed at Purdue University during the World War I. Both plans have been widely emulated by other fraternities, but they originated with S.P.E. In 1907, sixteen men who had formed a local fraternity called Omicron Pi Alpha applied for and received a charter from Sigma Phi Epsilon. The first home of the Penn- sylvania Epsilon Chapter was on West Fourth Street, but later it moved to the cor- ner of Fourth and Wyandotte Streets. The S.P.E. s remained there until 1923 when they moved to their present home at 61 West Market Street. The chapter was fully active until May, 1943, when various reserves, the draft, and the ROTC claimed all but three brothers. In spite of these setbacks, the house has taken an active interest in extra-curricular activities, and even held a special New Year ' s Eve dance at the house. Although there are only five brothers and no meals are being served, the house is striving to be as much like the active chapter of yester- year as possible. The five brothers and seven dorm men are active in athletics, furnishing members of the football, baseball, basketball, and swimming squads. The house is also well represented in other extra-curricular activities. There are men on the Epitome staff and the Brown and White. S.P.E. s are also members of the Glee club, Band, Phi Eta Sigma, the Newtonian society, and the president and treasurer of the International Relations club.

[157] TA$ C WO AND A HALF years of wartime living has had its effect on Tau Delta Phi, but the condition of the fraternity has been maintained at the same pre- war level, with only members and pledges living in the house. Many of the alumni are now spread over the vast war zone. There are Tau Delts in India, Australia, England, and Africa. Others are in the various camps around the country training for their part in the fight. Tau Delta Phi proudly boasts possession of the Phi Sigma Kappa Cup for the past two years. Besides maintaining high scholastic ideals, the members are repre- sented in many assorted extra-curricular activities around the campus, maintaining active interest in Mustard and Cheese, Brown and White, the swimming and soccer teams, the Band and Glee club, and various honorary societies as Cyanide, Phi Eta Sigma, Delta Omicron Theta, and Alpha Epsilon Delta. The house publishes semesterly the Tau News, a house paper which is sent to alumni, parents, and friends. In it are found articles concerning the alumni and their whereabouts, the present brothers, and interesting news about the fraternity itself. The paper has traveled around the world in pursuit of former members. With 16 undergraduate members now, the fraternity exists under ideal living conditions in the house, with ample room for study and recreation as well as actual living quarters. Tau chapter was established at Lehigh in 1926 by a group of nine undergraduates who were dissatisfied with the fraternity conditions existing in the University at the time. This local group, which was called Upsilon Kappa, developed so favorably that in 1927 it was granted a charter by Tau Delta Phi. After occupying several other houses in the district, the chapter moved in 1938 to its present location on We st Third Street.

II IS ■I J •%m- a. j i: ' . e x yN JUNE, 1943, many Theta Chis left for the armed forces, but eight members J remained in school. Their pledging six freshmen and two sophomores enabled them to maintain their customary fraternity life. At present, they have a full house of twenty-two men. The chapter publishes a monthly newsletter primarily for the benefit of alumni in the service, and also to keep in close touch with other alumni. It is quite an informal letter devoted mainly to alumni news and events, humorous and otherwise, that occur in the chapter. Important dates on the Theta Chi social calendar are the annual Christmas dance and numerous record dances during the course of the year. The chapter participates in all intramural sports. A favorite occupation of many of the brothers is the per- petual bridge game. Theta Chis are represented on the varsity football, wrestling, baseball, and soccer squads. Theta Chi claims the president of Mustard and Cheese, the vice-president of the Interfraternity Council, and membership on the Arcadia Five-Man Committee. Members are also represented in Phi Eta Sigma, Tau Beta Pi, Cyanide, ODK, New- tonian Society, the Band, the Collegians, Alpha Phi Omega, Pi Mu Epsilon, and Mustard and Cheese. Theta Chi ' s history at Lehigh began in 1927 as a local fraternity called Omega Phi Sigma. One of its primary aims was high scholarship, in which it was successful since it ranked first in scholarshp in five out of the eleven semesters of its existence as a local. In 1934, it became the Alpha Sigma chapter of Beta Kappa. However, in the spring of 1942, the entire Beta Kappa national merged with the Theta Chi national. There are now 72 chapters and more than 23,000 alumni members. The Le- high chapter was the first Beta Kappa chapter to be installed in Theta Chi when it became the Beta Sigma chapter in May, 1942. An Alumni Chapter of the local fra- ternity acts as an advisory council for the undergraduates. THETA CHI: Bac row: Lindner, Beck, Reitzel, Davidson, Tuttle.

Within a few months after Pearl Harbor many of the members left school and enlisted in some branch of the service. Their losses were partially compensated for by incoming freshmen, but slowly it could be seen that Alpha Taus were growing fewer in number. In the summer of 1943 A.T.O. was asked to take in boarders, whom they accepted, for with these it was possible to keep the house open while others had to close for the duration. Finally, however, in September of 1943, the Army decided that all the campus dwellings would have to be evacuated to make room for the influx of trainees. On September 4th of last year the sole remaining men of Alpha Tau Omega moved out of the chapter house and into the Sigma Phi House. The fact that they were not in their own house restricted their pledging new men, so it appeared for a while that A.T.O. would soon go out of existence at Lehigh until after the war. Then a system was devised whereby monthly meetings would be held with the alumni. The plan was formulated last November and soon sprung into a reality. Thus the Alpha Taus are alive and active at Lehigh today. Ben )ETA CHI CHAPTER of Beta Theta Pi has weathered the war fairly well so far even though the brothers began leaving school during the Fall semester of ' — 1942. The Air Corps men were the first to go and then the Naval Reservists and ROTC cadets. The chapter house, which was rented to the University for use in housing part of the ASTP Unit, was one of the eleven campus houses taken for this program. The Betas were fortunate in having the use of their chapter house long enough to initiate the three freshmen pledged from the entering class of June, 1946. The undergraduate active enrollment of the Lehigh chapter now consists of three sen- iors, one sophomore and three freshmen. There are seven Betas in the returned ROTC Unit in training at Lehigh during the past year. The Betas all pledge their utmost support in keeping the Beta Chi chapter alive as long as the University continues to function. ALPHA TAU OMEGA: Bac Row: Strayer, Bernard, Barnett.

This first chapter was 1 known as Insula, but upon the founding of two new chapters at Columbia and New York University, it was designated as the Alpha chapter. Beta Theta, the Lehigh chapter, originated as a society of senior engineers, who named their group Sigma Iota. Later this name was changed to Phi Delta Pi, and the rapidly expanding society moved to a house on Delaware Avenue. In the fall of 1931 the society was granted a charter from the Delta Sigma Phi International Fra- ternity and in the following year was installed as the Beta Theta chapter of Delta Sigma Phi. Doctor Ralph B. Hess of Bethlehem and Doctor Robert P. More of Le- high University ' s language department were highly instrumental in bringing about the transition of the fraternity from local to national. The names of these two men, who still are furnishing Beta Theta with valuable assistance and advice, have been placed upon a special service plaque, in rightful appreciation of their contributions to this chapter. K A In THE PAST year Lehigh fraternities have passed through several radical J changes. Kappa Alpha is no exception. In January, 1943, the members num- bered twenty-two, and peacetime college life was an actuality. However, through the media of graduation, the Enlisted Reserve Corps, and Selective Service, eight men were lost the following month. By cutting expenses as much as possible, the remaining fourteen brothers were able to continue living and eating in the lodge during the spring semester. More reservists were called to active duty in June, leaving only four brothers in the house. Along with two pledges and two Alpha Chi Rhos, this group lived in the fraternity during the summer; but arrangements were made for the en- tire group to eat at the Sigma Phi house. When the Army Specialized Training Unit took over the dormitories and the campus fraternities in September, twelve men were assigned to live in the house until the end of the semester; at this time the kitchen was again opened. In October ten members of Phi Delta Theta moved into the lodge, but at the same time five more students left. During the fall semester, the five Kaps, led by Jack Turner, president, have continued to maintain the traditions of the society. DELTA SIGMA PHI: Bac Row. Little, Lee, Wheeler, Pharo.

The fraternity originally existed during the 1 5th century in Europe at the University of Bologna. It was founded in America by five men who did not wish to join any of the then existing fraternities. In 1900 ten Lehigh students petitioned for entrance into Kappa Sigma. They were accepted and the Beta Iota chapter was installed in Bethlehem, November 19, 1900. The present house, which has been occupied since 1926, is located at 24 East Church Street in the former home of Archibald Johnston. During the college year, 1943-1944, Beta Iota has been rather active on the Lehigh campus. Two of the brothers played on the varsity football team, one played soccer, one was a mainstay of the basketball team, another was on the varsity swim- ming team. Besides varsity sports, the chapter won the intramural touch-football championship. The Kappa Sigs have men represented in several of the honorary fra- ternities, as well as the different course societies. The war has brought many changes to Lehigh. But the Beta Iota chapter of Kappa Sigma has been able to continue so far as in pre-war days. 2 A M 7LTHOUGH THE Sigma Kappa chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu has been an ' T m sJ active living group at Lehigh University for over twenty years, its advisors and members decided to close the chapter house for the duration. From Janu- ary, 1943, through the spring semester, Sigma Kappa chapter wished over twenty-five of its thirty-three members Good Luck in the services. News has already reached us of the death of James S. Leir, ' 44, who will always be remembered for his good fellowship, high ideals and sportsmanship. The remaining members, still at Lehigh, re present Sigma Alpha Mu in the New- tonian Society, Mustard and Cheese, the International Relations club, the Ski club, Camera club and also on the teaching staff of the Engineering School. The members and alumni of the Sigma Kappa chapter are looking forward to the day when Sigma Alpha Mu reopens in its new home and is once again an active part of Lehigh ' s family of fraternities.

V 2 $ f] J ORLD WAR II has struck savagely into the heart of Sigma Phi. A house of 21 brothers was decreased to 13 from fall to spring and by June of 1943 only three active Sigma Phis remained in Bethlehem. In the summer, two men were initiated, but the house was again reduced to three actives when two men gradu- ated. In February of ' 43, 6 Navy ensigns who were studying at Lehigh, lived in the house until May. During the summer semester, the Theta Xis moved in; and with the occupation of the campus fraternities by the Army, members of five other frater- nities took up living quarters at the house. In the fall of 1943, the house was leased to Fred C. Salber who is going to run the house for a probation period of one year; and if this plan is successful, it will be adopted for the duration of the war. The Sigma Phis are represented in all the services. Two men, who returned to Lehigh with the ROTC, are now in Ft. Benning, Georgia, as officer candidates. Visitors from other chapters and departed brothers have been few, but the spirit of Sigma Phi remains loyal and her presence is felt wherever Sigma Phis are found. K 4 C HE Theta Kappa Phi fraternity had its birthplace at Lehigh University. During the year 1916 a group of students found themselves thrown together quite frequently in one of Bethlehem ' s chop houses. Recognizing the mutual congeniality of the group, certain of them set forth to bring about a more binding organization. But with the outbreak of the war many members entered the service, forcing further planning to be put aside. By 1919, however, Theta Kappa Phi was a reality. This year the fraternity was forced to close its house, as only two of its thirty- four active members returned to Lehigh. The thirty-two missing brothers are now representing Theta Kappa Phi in all branches of the armed services. Several brothers are already overseas in Italy, England, and the South Pacific. Five Theta Kappa men have been made officers and others will receive their commissions shortly. SIGMA PHI: Vannerson, Sidebotham, Gilroy THETA KAPPA PHI: Hall, Giles [169] THETA XI: Bac Row.

The house was maintained until the spring of 1943, at which time it held a larger group of men than ever before. This group dwindled to six, who now live at the Sigma Phi house. Most of the men are in the various branches of the service. The underclassmen in V-l are continuing in their respective fields at M.I.T. and Swarthmore College. The upperclassmen in ROTC are divided between Lehigh ' s ASTP and active service. But even though there are Eta men in practically every part of the country, and some abroad, there is con- stant communication between them and the six boys in civvies. With two years of living on a country estate, the boys were naturally quite reluctant to leave the tranquillity of the suburbs for the hubbub of South Bethle- hem ' s steel industry, but were fortunate to be able to remain as a group at Sigma Phi. [170] A X P BEFORE PEARL HARBOR, Alpha Chi Rho occupied a spacious home on the corner of Market and Linden Streets; at present, the fraternity is without a house, but has high hopes of building on campus after the war. The charter of the Phi Mu chapter has been surrendered to the National Fraternity for the dura- tion. The main reason for closing the house with the ending of the spring semester of 1943 was the depletion of Alpha Chi Rhos left at Lehigh. There is only one civilian crow left at Lehigh, although two advanced ROTC members returned to continue their studies here. The crows in uniform can be found in practically every state in the Union and with most of the branches of the service overseas. a k n y loK the first year following Pearl Harbor, Nu Chapter of Alpha Kappa Pi suf- J- fered very few losses. The class of 1942 graduated in May and was replaced in September by pledges from the class of 1946. The majority of the brothers joined reserve units of the armed forces and were not activated until the spring of 1943. The Air Corps Reserves were the first to be called to active duty, and they began the great exodus from Lehigh that followed. Enlisted Reserve Corps men were called during the spring semester, ROTC students were activated in May, and the Naval Reserves departed in June to assume their Navy duties in July. With only one- fifth of the brothers remaining Alpha Kappa Pi was forced to close its doors for the duration. X J 1 HE WAR has taken more than its share of boys from Chi Phi. In less than one year ' s time, the number of brothers dropped from thirty members to one. Three brothers returned to Lehigh in the ROTC last summer and managed to keep in contact with one another, even though they were not quartered together or taking the same courses. Occasionally, those from out-of-town would come back for a few days and get together with the local boys for a reunion. Chi Phi hopes that those who survive the present conflict will return and form a nucleus for the chapter, so that it may start again and return to the position it had before the war. [171] X ¥ y ARD HIT by the international situation, Chi Psi dwindled to four men - J f after the spring semester of 1943. These men lived in the Lodge during the summer and moved to the Alpha Kappa Psi house on Delaware Avenue in the fall, when the Army appropriated all the campus fraternity houses. However, in spite of all its difficulties, the last year was a banner one for Chi Psi in the field of extra-curricular activities. Chi Psis were members of the five-man Arcadia committee, Brown and White, Cyanide, Pi Delta Epsilon, Tau Beta Pi, cap- tains of the football and track teams, as well as letter-men in wrestling and lacrosse. A V ELTA PHI, like most of the other fraternities, was hit hard by the war. Of j the nineteen brothers in the house since October, 1942, only three remain at Lehigh. Of the brothers who have departed from South Mountain, three have commissions, three are in the V-5 program, three are in the Air Corps, three are in V-12, one is in the ASTP at Georgetown University, one is in Officer Candidates ' School, and two, now sergeants, are A. P.O., c o Postmaster New York. The house is now open to boarders and to members of two other fraternities. But the remaining brothers are still carrying on the traditions of Delta Phi. One played tackle on the football team, one ran for the tracksters, and one was on the soccer squad. The president of Interfraternity Council is a Delta Phi, and there are representatives in Cyanide, in Arcadia, on various student- faculty committees, and on the Arcadia Five-Man committee. A T C HE DAYS since Pearl Harbor have seen many great changes come over the Lehigh Chapter of Delta Upsilon. The armed forces have claimed thirty-one D.U.s of the group which started the fall semester of 1942, the biggest blow coming in June, 1943, when both the Army and Navy called their reserves. In July the ASTP came to Lehigh; and, just as Delta Upsilon was the first fra- ternity to build on campus, so was it also the first to be filled with Army students. There are only two civilian D.U.s in school now, although two more brothers have returned to school with the advanced ROTO [172] $IK JT THE present time, Phi Sigma Kappa has but two active members and Tr 7 four ROTC men at Lehigh. All others, who at one time thought they would be spending this year at Lehigh, have since entered the armed forces. The house kitchen was closed at the end of the spring semester of 194?, but the house itself has remained open by renting rooms to students forced out of the dormi ' tories and on-campus fraternity houses. How long the house will remain open under this plan, however, is a serious question. With civilian enrollment at school steadily decreasing, prospects are none too bright; and no pledging is planned for the duration. The alumni have taken over full financial responsibility for the house and may try to sell it if the school enrollment gets too low. f r a j HE BETA CHI chapter of Phi Gamma Delta was founded at Lehigh on De- cember 10, 1885. Interesting four Lehigh undergraduates, Major Frank Keck and J. W. French of Columbia University petitioned for a chapter and ini- tiated the charter members in the old Su n Inn. Then the members rented two rooms on the third floor of the old Post Office building at Main and Market Streets. Two years later the first chapter house was rented; and as Beta Chi grew in size, it occupied other houses until in 1922 its first house on the campus was built. This house was destroyed by fire on February 9, 1942. Reconstruction was begun almost immediately, and largely through the efforts of Dr. Loyal A. Shoudy and George R. Brothers the new house was completed. [ 173 ] n k a ?N OCTOBER, 1929, when Zeta Chi, a local fraternity, received its charter and J became the Gamma Lambda chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha, there was initiated into Lehigh a branch of an organisation which had grown out of a fellowship of six Confederate soldiers. A comradeship cemented by the rigors of war brought strength and encouragement to the founders in its earliest days, and this comradeship is still characteristic of the order. The University of Virginia was the site of the first chapter, but membership soon spread throughout the South and Southwest. Only recently has Pi Kappa Alpha reached the northern colleges because of a ban, lifted in 1909, which limited the fra ' ternity to colleges and universities in the South and Southwest. u r S WAS found necessary during World War I, the chapter has again become T J inactive with respect to the undergraduates, though the active chapter status is maintained by a group of local alumni. At the present time there is a small group of brothers, civilian and ROTC, who are studying at Lehigh, but their status is so indefinite as to make active fraternity operations futile. Of the delegations from the past four years, almost all are in military service, many having been unable to complete work for their degrees before going to duty. The remaining civilians expect to enter service in the very near future. Truly the chapter has gone all-out for war, car- rying the names of Lehigh and Psi Upsilon to the far corners of the earth. [174] 2 N f slCMA NU originated from a nucleus known as the Legion of Honor, a secret . --} society which was founded at the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington in 1868 by three cadets who opposed the extensive control of another secret soci ' ety. The actual founding of Sigma Nu, however, is generally accepted as being in 1869 when the present Greek letters were officially designated and other characteristics of a social fraternity was formally adopted. The expansion of the fraternity to the North and East resulted in the founding of the Pi chapter at Lehigh in 1885. The house was originally located on High Street but moved to the campus in 1915. Each year the members publish the Pi-eye magazine to inform alumni of the chapter ' s activities during the preceding year. e a x CTHE NU DUETERON charge of Theta Delta Chi was installed at Lehigh in 1884, and was the fifth national social fraternity to be established at the Uni- versity. Permanent residence was provided for in 1919, when the present house was built near the crest of Old South Mountain, and in 1938 a program of house im- provement resulted in the construction of a new wing and extensive remodeling. These additions were dedicated to the late John Van R. Greene, ' 37, who during his four years of active service to the fraternity had fought and pleaded for the new wings. Beautifully furnished and exceptionally light, they add much to the house. This was the first social fraternity to provide for a centralized form of govern- ment. This centralization gradually evolved to the grand lodge form which is now used by nearly all national fraternities. [175] TOWN COUNCIL: Bac Row: Harnish, Treser, Reiterman, Reehl, Heck, Tirell, Hafner, Front Row: Wilson, Evans, Gerlach. Keese, Poland, KJeppinger, Inglese [ 176 | TOWN COUNCIL 7 HE Town Council has tried during the past year to increase its activities, despite the actual decrease in the number of town men due to the small size of the student body. Last summer a dance was held in Drown Hall to which all town men were ad- mitted free. The group also held two banquets immediately preceding two of the large school dances. At the first banquet, held in September, Captain James Campbell was the speaker, and at the second, held in November, Professor Edgar Riley addressed the group. A third banquet, a stag affair, was held late in January. Mr. Frank Bowers, a former radio quizmaster, conducted a short quiz program following the banquet; for correct answers Mr. Bowers awarded to the contestant one or several dimes. The Town Council was originally instituted in 1939 to provide a means of uni- fying town men, of encouraging them to take an active part in the life of the Uni- versity, and to represent the town men in the organization of the University. This task has become even more important with Lehigh at war, since such a large per- centage of campus dwellers are now living in private homes. THE COSMOPOLITAN CLUB CTHE Cosmopolitan Club, organized in 1938 under the leadership of George Tabet of Cairo, Egypt, and James L. Shearer, an American, had as its pur- pose the orientation of foreign students who came to study in the United States. The club ' s members, having had direct contacts with all parts of the world, found it profitable to exchange their views and to learn to appreciate each other ' s countries, thus creating a unique international atmosphere. Many Americans were admitted to membership and, consequently, the Cosmopolitan club proved to be an effective link between the United States and the newly arrived foreign student. The clubhouse, located on Packer Avenue, was rented from the University in 1939. and with its acquisition the club became a regular living group. Lecture meetings, open to the public, were held at frequent intervals. In October, 1943, the clubhouse had to be vacated for use by the Army. However, with the contraction of the Army college training program, the house was the first at Lehigh to be abandoned by the ASTP. At this writing, it is questionable whether the house will be reopened before the arrival of more normal times.

' - BSMKi j r -, w S_ :¥ ARMY SPECIALIZED TRAINING PROGRAM fl J iTH THE world at war and the United Nations ' needs for technically- Ay trained personnel growing apace, the Army came to Lehigh in July, 194 J, nearly 1,500 strong, to take advantage of the University ' s Engineering and Liberal Arts facilities. Thus Lehigh, for the second time in 25 years, had the honor of aiding the United States and its Allies win the war, by preparing soldiers under the Army Specialized Training Program for engineering and administrative tasks in every branch of the Army. The objective of the Army Specialized Training Program, as stated by the Sec- retary of War, is: To meet the need of the Army for the special technical training of soldiers on active duty for certain Army tasks for which its own training facilities are insufficient in extent or character. Lehigh has been doing its share to help fill this need, and as the war enters its third year, men trained on the Brown and White campus are helping strike a telling blow against the enemy in every theater of the world-wide war. Lehigh was one of 281 American colleges and universities selected to train Army and Navy personnel, with its specific task being to train nearly 1,400 soldiers for vari- ous engineering tasks, and another hundred men in the languages and the nature of the enemy, their economic, governmental and social structures. The Army enrollment reached a peak of 1,420 (a figure not including some 100 trainees who were weeded out after failing to make the grade), a total which included 97 Reserve Officer Train- ing Corps cadets and AST reservists of the 17-year-old class. Together with a civilian enrollment of 485, the 1,877 student total set a new record mark for Lehigh. The Army students were taught nearly 60,000 study hours a week. Today, Lehigh-trained soldiers are assigned to a wide variety of responsible duties in nearly all the arms and services. Such assignments include specialists in organic chemistry and chemical engineering; chemical engineers for chemical laboratory com- panies in Chemical Warfare Service; chemists for various technical duties in Ord- nance Department; engineering specialists and linguists to Signal Corps; foreign lan- guage specialists for the Provost Marshal General ' s Office; high-grade language spe- cialists for the Army Air Forces; and several groups of basic phase graduates. Some of the graduates are being given additional training in service schools; a small number have been selected for officer candidate schools from the particular or- ganization to which they were sent following graduation from ASTP; and still others have been given troop assignments where their specialized training will be utilized Assignments of strategic importance overseas have been given to some graduates. [180] ASTP . C HE ASTP courses began at Lehigh on July 12, and were scheduled to con- tinue for four 12 -week terms. President Clement C. Williams of Lehigh, in welcoming the AST cadets to the Brown and White campus, said : Lehigh is placing its facilities at the disposal of the government primarily in order that you may meet the exigencies of warfare more effectively. Winning the war will consist of two parts, namely, first winning the military victory, and second, solidi- fying the peace through wise statesmanship in political organization in the years and decades to follow. Hence, for your years in the civilian life in the peace, I hope that you will gather up somewhat the spirit and ideals of Lehigh University. The record of Lehigh University has always been wholeheartedly loyal to the na- tion. Visit the Alumni Memorial Building and read the names of those who served in World War I; proceed down Memorial walk and note the beautiful elms on either side; each of those trees represents a Lehigh man who gave his life in the first World War, and you will note his name at the base of the tree. The flag was real to them. Today, Memorial walk resounds to the tramp of marching feet and to the stac- cato commands of the military students ' leaders. The orderly marching columns strike a sharp contrast with the easy-flowing movement of college men from one class build- ing to another. War truly has come to Lehigh. Classrooms and laboratories are filled to capacity with soldiers. Dormitories and fraternity houses have been taken over com- pletely by the Army. Grace Hall has become the military headquarters, and Lamber- ton and Drown Halls have become Army mess halls. The faculty ranks have been increased to meet Army needs, and the University has taken on the appearance of a real military institution. The regular Lehigh administration formulated the plan for ASTP on the cam- pus, and its educational program met with full approval of the Army. Courses in chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical and metallurgical engineering and in the French 4x Along Memorial walk [181] ASTP . and German languages and area study were arranged for the soldier students. The i— i faculty prescribed texts of its own choosing and conducted classes in Lehigh ' s tradi- sO tional manner; but the study pace was stepped up to comply with Army needs. The 4 - subjects taught soldier-engineers included stiff courses in science, mathematics, history, - . English and geography. The nine-month language program demanded that Lehigh give the soldiers a ready knowledge of a foreign language previously unknown to the trainee. It de- manded a comprehensive understanding of modern history and contemporary world affairs, an understanding of the racial composition of the foreign area peoples and origin of the races, of continental government problems, and a thorough knowledge of how European peoples live. These were by no means propaganda courses. Dr. Harold W. Dodds, Princeton president, delivering the 1943 Lehigh commence- ment address, said: The courses taught give an opportunity for us (the universities) to prepare young men for warfare with a well-grounded understanding of the cause for which we are fighting far beyond what was attained in the war-aims courses of the last war ... The engineering and language soldier-students were by no means allowed to for- get that they were soldiers first — and college students second. Courses in military theory, drill and weapons supplemented the heavy scholastic curricula. To offset the sedentary nature of the AST program, a rigid calisthenics and sports schedule was set up. Classroom work accounted for 33 to 37 hours a week. Study periods were strictly enforced. The trainees were allowed to participate in extra-curricular activities, but the regimented study schedule gave them little time for recreation. The work-study day began with reveille at 6:30 and came to a close with the sound of Taps at 1 1 at night. The men knew they had an important job at hand, and took to it with admir- able determination. 1 HE SOLDIERS stationed at Lehigh were no ordinary men. In selection of AST students emphasis was placed on high intelligence and prior academic experi- ' ence which could quickly be turned to the Army ' s advantage by specialized training. The soldier-students ranged from college freshmen calibre to men with Ph.D ' s. This range was particularly true of the language group. Most of these men came to Lehigh with a ready knowledge of one or more foreign tongues, and a great majority were college graduates. Sixty per cent of the language student body of over a hundred added German to their linguistic knowledge, and the remainder French. The Lehigh language faculty was increased sharply to take care of these students. The language men, 16 per cent of them foreign-born, represented 15 nationalities. The regular Army student enrollment was supplemented by the AST Reserves consisting of 17-year-olds who enlisted in the program. These trainees, on inactive duty, pursued uniform academic studies of the basic phase of AST instruction. The government paid for their instruction, food, housing and some medical service.

EPITOME - }- reservist reached his 18th birthday and finished a school term, he was placed on ac- Tf tive duty and sent to an Army installation for basic military training, after which, j if qualified, under existing regulations at that time, he was assigned to the ASTP. To gauge the educational progress of the soldiers, the Army set up periodical ex- aminations. In this way it kept the work standardized in the many colleges and uni- versities training ASTP men. The University itself, submitted four, eight and twelve- week grades which determined whether a soldier was to continue his studies or whether he had reached his scholastic peak. Weeding out of soldiers unable to cope with the rapid flow of material continued throughout the AST course. That such outgoing shipments were relatively small, testifies to the Lehigh faculty ' s excellent teaching abilities, as well as to the good calibre of soldier students. Lehigh professors give loud praise to the scholastic aptitude and character of sol- dier students. Contrast the following class routine with the civilian college procedure. The cadets operated under an honor system depending on individual integrity and honesty. Classes filed into classrooms in an orderly manner, and all were in their seats when the hour-bell rang. Absences were reported to the instructor by a group leader, and there was no such thing as a class cut. Military action followed promptly any violation of regulations. The cadets were required to be attentive and alert at all times. Smoking in classrooms was prohibited. Dismissal was carried out in an orderly manner. In general, a quiet and gentlemanly conduct prevailed in classrooms and laboratories at all times. Many a professor admits that it will be difficult to have to return to teaching of civilians who are bound by no such discipline. The soldier ' s school life outside of classrooms was regulated in a similar manner. The cadets kept their own rooms cleaned, dusted and scrubbed. Military facilities were plentiful, since Lehigh was a regimental unit, designated as the 3309th Service Unit of the Army Specialized Training Program and consisting of as many as seven full companies at one time. Army cadremen handled all military affairs — payrolls, publicity, discipline and dress of the cadets. 7hE INFLOW of 1,500 cadets in the summer of 1943 faced Lehigh with many a problem, but each of these was solved with celerity. Housing presented a major question, but the University rapidly remodelled and refurnished all dor- mitory halls and fraternity houses, both on and off campus. Many plumbing and lighting changes were made to meet the requirements of the Army. The feeding prob- lem was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Lamberton Hall was the first to be put into use as a mess hall serving three meals a day to nearly 900 AST men. Then, as the soldier-student ranks rose to a peak, Drown Hall was converted into another mess hall. The entire ground floor was refurnished, and service counters and steel bars were installed in the main lounge room. Service tables filled the remainder of the area. The kitchen and pantry were placed in the basement. All of the 1,500 soldiers passed through the cafeteria style counters in half an hour, clearing the halls in less than an hour. Thanksgiving Day tested the Lehigh Din- ing Service ' s abilities to the fullest extent. The service ' s 85 employes worked more than 2,000 man-hours to prepare the nearly two tons of food consumed by the soldiers! [184) ASTP . The Army program necessitated sharp increases in Lehigh ' s athletic facilities. The AST physical training program, with team sports as a guiding light, had four major objectives. These were (1) to develop those qualities, capabilities and flexes associated with first-class physical condition; (2) to develop in the soldiers certain fundamental skills essential either to safety or effective operations in modern war; (3) to instill in the minds and hearts of the soldier-students an aggressive, fighting spirit; and (4) to provide a sound, sane and wholesome counterpoise to the highly accelerated schedule of academic study that is involved in the specialized training. Lehigh responded by offering a program which consisted of combatives, including box- ing, wrestling, Judo and Jui-Jitsu; gymnastics, stressing calisthenics and conditioning; aquatics and team sports. Intra-regimental competitions took place in the following sports: badminton, inter- company basketball, baseball and football, handball, boxing and wrestling, swimming and other sports. In addition, a Lehigh AST varsity basketball team was formed. The Army five soon won the top position in the Lehigh Valley, bowling over nearly every military team and civilian cage squad with which it came into contact. 4- Outdoor calisthenics; Meal time in Lamberton Hall Socially, the cadets were just as active as the college men, if not more so. The major social functions consisted of three regimental balls, with approximately 1,000 couples attending each of these military formats. The first military ball was to the music of Bud Rader ' s Band, which made such an impression on the cadets that they re-ordered Lehigh University ' s favorite orchestra for the following Regimental Ball. In addition, however, Harry Romig and his band were called on to make the second dance a two-band affair. Both the Grace Hall drill floor and the basketball court were used by the G.I. ' s, and both dance floors were decorated with flags of the United Nations. The dance was highlighted by the selection of a regimental beauty queen and a court of six. The final AST formal, called the Friendship Ball, in the [185] ASTP . form of a farewell to Lehigh and Bethlehem, was held in Grace Hall late in March, ►— 1944, just as the Lehigh ASTP unit was being greatly reduced in size, not only be- £ cause of graduations, but also as a result of the Army ' s decision to pare the program. 4— For each of these dances, the soldiers found Lehigh more than ready to co-operate. 4— Out-of-town dates were given sleeping accommodations in selected fraternity houses, and the girls had meals with their soldier-dates at Lamberton Hall. Instead of floral corsages, the soldiers bought patriotic warsages consisting of War Savings Stamps made up into a floral design. The USO lounge in the Community Center, just off the campus, was the center of many a soldier ' s social life, since more than 200 Bethlehem junior hostesses under- took the task of helping entertain the G.I. ' s every week-end. Dancing, entertainment and refreshments were always plentiful there. The Lehigh Girls ' Club, consisting of the University ' s employes, also did its share to help make the soldier ' s life more pleasant, through Sunday afternoon dances and entertainment at the club ' s headquarters in the YWCA. Representatives from each of the companies making up the Lehigh post were invited to serve on Arcadia, the student governing body, with full power to vote; and Arcadia extended full use to Army men of such University facilities as the swim- ming pool, the Drown Hall recreation center and the University library. The library, incidentally, answered a triple purpose, providing the soldiers with research materials as well as works of fiction, and serving as a study hall throughout the day. In the evenings, seminar rooms were utilized by evening language classes. To add variety to the soldier ' s life, a Christmas party was held for the G.I. ' s at Grace Hall with local night-spot musicians and singers, as well as regimental talent providing the entertain- ment. Coca-Cola Company ' s Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands was broadcast from Grace Hall, with Jan Savitt ' s band playing for the 1,500 soldier-students. Joe Kinney ' s Grill proved just as popular with the soldiers as it had in the past with Lehigh civil- ians . . . and Joe found the G.I. ' s were as good-spending customers as collegians. The soldiers decided to take a hand at drama, too. Mustard and Cheese, in pre- senting The Man Who Came to Dinner, found actors aplenty in AST ranks, and chose eight of them for its show which was hailed as an outstanding success. . . . Bethle hemites contributed to the well-being of soldiers stationed at Lehigh by extending week-end and holiday dinner invitations to the G.I. ' s. . . . Lehigh civilian students, finding that soldiers have enormous appetites, decided to capitalize on this knowledge. They formed a Sandwichman ' s Company, tempting the G.I. ' s with sandwiches, ice cream and milk just before the end of the enforced evening study period. . . . When G.I. -haircuts of the half-inch variety were ordered for the Lehigh personnel, a barber- shop was opened in the basement of the Sigma Nu house, where the barbers commit- ted hirsute atrocities on the men for low prices and with convenience for all. . . .

[187] EPITOME ON Deadeyes all team. . . . The cadets, not deaf to Lehigh ' s Campus Community Chest pleas, contrib- uted $1,492, with all but $193, which was donated by commissioned officers and cadre- men posted here, coming from the AST students. . . . To keep the soldiers informed of G.I. doings at Lehigh and to keep them abreast of changes in the specialized train- ing program picture, as well as to quash the maze of military rumors, a two-page Army section was added to the Brown and White. The cadets named their pages G.I. — Lehigh Style, and staffed the paper with their own men. 1 HE 3309th Service Unit stationed at Lehigh was operated under three suc- cessive post commanders, each of whom had the commission of a colonel. First of these was Col. Fay W. Brabson, who was retired August 17, 1943, after holding the post of Professor of Military Science and Tactics at Lehigh since March, 1942. Previous to his Lehigh post, he had held commands throughout the world and had directed the construction of many American Army camps. During the first World War he was chief of staff for a combat division in France and was awarded the Dis- tinguished Service medal and the French Legion of Honor. Much of Colonel Brab- son ' s army experience was centered in the Far East, where he was stationed for some time in Borneo and where he had traveled extensively. He also served on the Philippine Islands, and some of the maps used by Generals MacArthur and Wainwright in their defense of these islands were drawn under his direction. Successor of Colonel Brabson was Col. James N. Caperton. In the Army since his graduation from West Point in 1916, Colonel Caperton saw service with the AEF during World War I when he served as an artillery officer with the Second Division. Colonel Caperton, who had seen service all over the continental United States, was associated with the CCC at its inception in 1933. Prior to his arrival at Lehigh, he was stationed with the ROTC contingent located at Virginia Military Institute. [188] ASTP • With the transfer of Colonel Caperton, Col. George W. Easterday took over the Lehigh post. A regular Army officer since 1910, the colonel served on Correg.dor, in the Philippines and in Panama. In addition to his overseas assignments, he had served as personnel director in charge of all Service Commands, military and civil, in Penn- sylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Prior to the Lehigh assignment, he was stationed in Detroit for three years as director of training for the Michigan Organized Reserve. Colonel Easterday is a graduate of Georgetown University, where he received his degree in electrical engineering. During the first World War he fought on the Marne and in the Argonne with the Third Division ' s 10th Field Artillery and the 77th Division ' s 305th Field Artillery. Later he served in the Army of Occupation of Germany. For gallantry in action he was twice decorated, being awarded the Silver Star with the oak leaf custer. In addition to attendance at artillery schools in Okla- homa and Virginia, Colonel Easterday is a graduate of the Army War College and the Air Corps Tactical School. He is also a graduate of the Command and General btatt School. 7 HE AST soldier ' s reaction to Lehigh was adequately expressed by one of the G.I. ' s, whose remarks were printed in the editorial columns of the Brown and White. He said : At first when we came to Lehigh from maneuvers and training camps, we were interested most in the physical living conditions. We had been sleeping on the ground or on cots, hiking and soldiering. A good mattress was our immediate concern. After we had it, we wondered how the town would treat us. Some places don t like soldiers. The ' town was bewildered at first, but now it ' s genuinely friendly. Good soldiers always gripe, and our gripes add up to escalators and coeds; neither complaint we feel is particularly new at this institution. 4 Gymnastics; An exciting game of touch football. [189] . EPITOME So far we like Lehigh. But the final test, both of the institution and ourselves, is what we get from the University, and how we apply it to the war. It is on Le- high ' s faculty and equipment that our training depends. Whether or not we like the T H school is only partial. We are going to college not for a personal education, but be- cause our government needs technicians, and it is on this standard the program, the University, and we must be judged. It is true, of course, that the civilians are eyeing us as we are them. We would like you to remember that we are almost totally a democratically conscripted group, and as such we have every shade of political, moral, ethic, and economic opinion rep- resented. Consequently, do not judge the group from the few soldiers you may have met. We are uniform only in clothing and military training, and other than these and geography we are you. We have a common purpose: to end the war victoriously. That is one of the few points on which our opinions focus. You can ' t judge us until you talk to us, and we ' re as anxious to find out about you as you are about us. All you have to do is say ' hello ' . It is interesting to note, too, just how and what the soldiers who but a few months ago were civilians, thought about their stay in the Army, and why they were taking part in the war. One of the G.I. ' s, a private studying engineering, said in the Brown and White pages: We are not fighting for Utopia or Paradise, although we do hope that after this war there will be born a new kind of understanding that may some day make possible such a ' One World. ' No — we are fighting for a lot of little things, things that can all be put into one word — home. That is America — the home we want, the one we took for granted. Perhaps there is a little more too. We are fighting for church bells on Sunday, for a shady tree and a cold drink from the well on a scorching summer afternoon, for a drive in the country and a holiday picnic, for a sleigh ride over the white snow of winter when eyes sparkle and cheeks glow and laughter blends with the tinkle of the sleigh bells. We ' re fighting for a Saturday night dance, a walk in the park or down along the river with our best girl, a little house with a backyard and a couple of kids — and maybe a soft little puppy. We ' re fighting for the grinding of gears and industry, for the right to plant and reap. We ' re fighting for the sweetness of a symphony and the swing of a hot jazz band. We ' re fighting because we don ' t like to see a little guy getting shoved around We ' re fighting for everything we want again. We are all of us driven by one force, and that is why we will not be beaten down. We are all of us propelled by a faith bigger than any one of us — a faith in the things we had and the things we want to keep. We all of us want to come home — to the home we love and understand. A lot of us never will come home again, but we still think these things are worth a fight There are, of course, times when it becomes difficult to keep these ideals. There are times when we know discouragement and disgust and when we begin to wonder Tapping the store of knowledge; Leg art — GI style; Medical operations at the university dis- pensary; The ASTP sketch class works on an interesting subject; The eternal bridge game; Civilians and cadets learn surveying side by side. [190] . EPITOME Tf if our beliefs are true, if all this is worthwhile. We read of strikes that seem unneces- TT sary. We hear of black markets and bootleg gasoline, and profiteering and petty strife JN in Congress. We meet people to whom all our beliefs mean nothing, who hardly know i— I there is a war, who take a soldier ' s $50-a-month just as quickly as they can grab it. We wonder if that striker knows what he is doing, knows that he is just striking for tomorrow ' s casualty list. We wonder — well, a lot of things. That sort of stuff is hard to take. Then we think for a moment, and we realize that sort of thing is not representative of the people as a whole. We realize that the great part of our America is working and striving and sacrificing and sweating and fighting right beside us, and we know once more that we are right. We are confident again. Yes — there is still patriotism in America. As Louis Wright said, it is not the patriotism of brass bands and flashy demonstrations and parades on Fifth Avenue. We know, simply, that there is a grim and bloody job to be done. We face it with a quiet determination in keeping with a new and better type of patriotism, a quiet faith in the land. JUT MORE specifically, what was the life of the average AST cadet on the X Lehigh campus during 1943-44? Who was he? Where had he come from? How did he react to the campus? Let the men speak for themselves. Said one: My friends in the Army have come from homes in Texas, California, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, and Indiana. They are not, as I expected, so different and alien. Instead, they are fellows very much like myself, most of whom possess a great num- ber of abilities and qualities. They represent America, and they do it well. ND WHAT was a typical day for the AST cadets while at Lehigh? Says one T J of them: To the 23 men of Section 12, 0645 was still too early. With revenge in mind and sleep in our eyes, we crawled out of our bunks and hastened to drag on an OD uniform. Two or three minutes isn ' t a very long time in which to dress, run down three flights of stairs and be in ranks before the First Sergeant yells, ' Fall in ' and ' Check your attendance ' ; but it seems to have been sufficient for seven months, and today, Friday, February 4, 1944, is no exception. Reveille over, we walked — or rather were shoved — back to our respective rooms, where we began a race against time in a heroic effort to make our bunks, take another brief nap, ' bone up ' just a little for the test, and complete a dozen other pre-break- fast menial tasks. Needless to say, we were interrupted in the middle of our activi- ties by the chow whistle at 0715. The breakfast wasn ' t quite up to par today. Once again we began to question the ' ogic of waiting outside Lamberton Hall an hour for breakfast. If I recall correctly, the breakfast menu included grapefruit, scrambled eggs, sausage, milk, toast, and cold cereal. Just as we reached our rooms, the piercing ' tw--eet of the 0800 school whistle resounded through the halls. There was no time to dust, no time to shine our shoes — just time to grab a physics book, a calculus book, a pen and pencil, and rush to class. [192] ASTP . The section marcher guided us to Dr. Bayley ' s classroom, and for the third consecu- i— l tive day, it was KirchofFs Network laws, with Ohm ' s law added for good measure. £) At 0900 we found ourselves in Dr. Shook ' s classroom on the fourth floor of -t Packer Hall. Having been seated in alternate seats (according to the Lehigh honor - system) we undertook the solution of the five calculus problems constituting the test. For one problem we were required to calculate the volume, moment of weight, and center of gravity of a parabolic solid of revolution about the x-axis! 1000 found us greatly relieved, having completed the test, yet dubious regarding our individual outcome. For many of the hardy veterans of Section 12, the ominous hours 1000-1200 hold great foreboding, because it is during those hours that we are unmercifully sub- jected to the rigorous calisthenics meted out by Professor Bartlett of the athletic de- partment. Fortunately though today was Friday, swimming day, our day to learn the elementary backstroke, to practice the breaststroke, to learn the method of devising a life preserver. Most of the section worked hard for these two hours under Coach Dick Brown, and the men who did were luckier than the unfortunate few who were forced to do ' 52 push-ups. ' By 1200, Section 12 was once more assembled and marching to early chow for- mation at the reputed Lamberton Hall. This noon we ate fish, string beans, mashed potatoes, blueberry pie, and coffee. The remainder of the noon hour was devoted to reading of mail, studying, or ' bunk fatigue ' as a respite from the 1000-1200 ordeal. The noon siesta over, we fell out for the 1300 formation, came to attention, went to at ease, and fell back into the barracks for the long awaited four-hour study period of Friday afternoon. The study hours were well used, many men catching up on calculus, chemistry, physics, and even English! Others went to town, got haircuts, and bought necessities. Sleeping wasn ' t unusual. There was, however, one nnusual event — an inspection by a visiting officer. Apparently he found the rooms in fair order, his only complaints being in regard to dirty closets and dusty floors. After the surprise 1500 inspection, we went back to work until 1645 when we once more fell out, this time for supper formation. Those at Lehigh who hail from New York City probably felt at home for sup- per. Reason: hot dogs. In addition to this main dish, we feasted on friend onions, a macaroni salad, a nondescript sort of sweet roll, and coffee. With supper, our day ' s rations were complete; moreover, now that supper was over, we were free until 2030. When 2030 arrived we again dusted off the study desk, pulled out the geog- raphy book from the shelf, and proceeded to digest two chapters of the text.

For the portraiture and the organization pictures, thanks to Miss Rose mary McCaa of McCaa Studio. For the processing of the candid pictures the Epitome owes thanks to Mr. Ryan of Ryan Studio. To Don Lang the book is indebted for the excellent pencil sketches of the members of the administration and the pen and ink sketch for In Memoriam. Sincere appreciation is extended to Nick Ickes, Jr. of Colyer Printing Company for his work on the printing and engraving of the book; and a great deal of gratitude is due to Professor Wallace R. Biggs for the coordi ' nation and organisation of a relatively inexperienced staff and for his ever- ready advice and assistance at all times. Greatly appreciated, too, is the work of willing and cooperative editorial, business, and photographic staffs; and the work of the many unnamed and sometimes unknown people who do their share in the publication of a book such as this.
