game was 52-0, and my chief recollections of it consists of personal encounters with the spectators and Easton policemen who had an instinctive prejudice to Lehigh men which they expressed hy kicking them on the head whenever one of them went under the ropes for the ball. In addition to the Burr there appeared another pul)lication, the Epitome, which has been puJilished annually since 1875. Twenty years later the Brown and White made its debut. In the same year that Davis founded Arcadia, Prof- essor Edward Williams founded Tau Beta Pi, the national honorarv engineer- ing fraternity. The Lehigh chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was founded two years later, in 1887. The first course society, the Chemical Society, was organized in 1871, and in 1887 the Electrical Engineers ' Society was started. Around the turn of the century the Summer School, the College of Arts and Science, and Fritz Lab were added to the school. The Arts College was an outgrowth of the School of General Literature. During this period Lehigh had money difficulties, and only an appropriation of .$150,000 from the state, along with many donations ])y the alumni, had enabled Lehigh to keep going. Before World ar I caused a cessation of the normal activities and growth of Lehigh several additions were made to the campus. Lamberton Hall, the Col- lege Commons, was built as well as Taylor Gym and Field, and Coppee Hall became a class building. The Band was organized, and Cyanide was founded. Sayre Park and the Arboretum were added to the LTniversity grounds. The war brought about an all-out war effort ])y the University, for it was realized that the nation needed highly trained technical men more than ever before. As was the case in World W ar II the academic program was accelerated, and the Student Army Training Corps, predecessor of the ROTC, was organized. Every physically fit student over 18 had to join the corps, which was housed in the fraternities and dormitories on the campus. A curriculum in Marine Engin- eering was also established. Fortunately, the normal routine was disturbed for only a few months, since the early end of the war permitted the return to a normal status. In 1918 the University was divided into the three colleges, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business Administration, and the College of Engineering. Rapid expansion followed in this, the Modern Era of Lehigh ' s historv. Charles Russ Richards became Lehigh ' s president in 1921, and a Greater Lehigh Fund, total- ling two million dollars, was established by alumni, friends, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Carnegie Foundation.

The building was the gift of James Ward Packard, ' 88, designer of the first Packard motor car. 18
