' In this twenty-first year of the exist¬ ence of Manhattanville as a college, the TQWER for 1938 wishes to do its part in celebrating the building of Founder ' s Hall. The spirit of its f ound¬ ers haspermeated its growing campus and its successive classes in a fine tra¬ dition reverenced by all who are part of Manhattanville. So too these pages are stamped with the symbolism of building and growth, the work of those who are carrying on that tradition. IN MEMORIAM Mother Anna McLaughlin k JEWS of the death of Mother Anna McLaughlin at Kenwood on ' September 7 , 1937 was received with sorrow at Manhattanville. Mother McLau ghlin, who was one of the founders of the college, helped to establish it in those traditions which have always been dear to the children of the Sacred Heart, and she imbued it with the spirit which we now recognize as an integral part of Manhattanville. 1 hose who knew Mother McLaughlin in the early days of the college have told us of the enthusiasm of the beloved first warden and of the sympathy she always showed in the interests and problems of the girls. They have given us the unforgettable picture of Mother Mcl jaughlin s evening meetings with the girls; we see them sitting with her, listening to her every word as she spoke of many things, among them the books which she knew and loved so well, and about which she taught in her English Literature classes. Linder her the college became a family, and no one would willingly have missed one of those evenings with her. Mother McLaughlin, well loved by the college, will always he remembered at Manhattanville for her place among those who laid its foundations. Eight IN MEMORIAM Mary Matt Dwyer, 31 |T is with great sorrow that we write of the death of Mary Matt Dwyer, ' 31 , who was Editor of the Tower only eight years ago, and who was active at that time in so many of the other groups which are still a part of our college life; hut we may find some comfort in the memory of her character and of her contributions to the happiness of others. She had an unusually brilliant mind and extraordinary literary and artistic ability, which are not forgotten. But it is the remembrance of her outstanding personality that is of solace to us now. The memory of visits with Mary Matt, and of her kind humour and constant cheerfulness will always he carried in the hearts of her classmates. Physically handi¬ capped, she had a spirit so courageous that it compelled the great fondness felt for her to transcend pity, if not to forget it. Her name remains an inspiration to us as it was to the students of her time.

The dear, devoted and dependable Mercedes. Rightfully has she been called the little blessing’’ of the Glee Club. But this is just one of the mul¬ titude of her enterprises, which include every¬ thing from the Phi Mu Beta Chi to la tres charmante Primerose. She seems but to look at a talent and it is hers; then she uses it to the utmost. She presents that ever perplexing but wholly delightful problem: How can such a little package of humanity manage to accomplish so much? But we don t try to solve it, we just agree that it can be done; and watch with awe and admiration our wise and winsome Mercedes.

Vivian Bowe, E. de M.

S. A. trophy halls. These are not her only accomplishments, however. She pursues Aris- totilian philosophy with an ardor that fills us with awe; and we give up in despair when she tosses off an A-p term paper with seemingly effortless grace. An invaluable friend, ready to help, she enters into everything with zest and a splendid spirit of endeavor. went v-seven 9 3 8 TOWER Katherine E. Breen, E. de M.

Kay has that nobility of feature and openness of face that reminds one of a beautiful knight riding off in quest of the Grail. She is as debonair as a dashing cavalier, and has the endearing charms of an Elizabethan courtier. There is a medieval beauty in her appearance and as en¬ gaging frankness in her speech. Look to Kay for level-headedness combined with a cosmopolitan graciousness — she has just that, and even more of kindliness.

Angela Clarice, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Kenwood, Albany, New T ork There is something enviable and admirable in Angie’s love of music. Stand outside the Blue Room and listen to her some day, while she ripples through a bit of Debussy and offers a spirited interpretation of Beethoven. However, we have just begun to discuss her talents. She has a bent for the 1 besbian arts which she proved by her splendid performance in 1 be Hundred Pipers.’ Pier gift of friendliness and her happy disposition, combined with reliability, make her a thoroughly delightful person. Moreover, An gie is serious and discriminating in her decisions.

Mary Clorinda Clarke, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Kenwood, Albany, New York Toto has a genius for such a multitude of things, that the place she has carved for herself in the history of Manhattanville is a deep and memorable one. A coming playwright, author, poet and critic, her fluent pen speaks of a charming dynamic More; swashbuckling heroes of Elizabethan days; and a bevy of historic peo¬ ple, which she has rendered real and enchanting to us. She expresses her thoughts and preferences with an amazing directness and originality. Hers is the indomitable spirit and mental stride which will, with ease, outdistance those around her.

Mary Cohalan, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Maplehurst, New York “Sure she d steal your heart away — for if there is one thing that Manhattanville is power¬ less to change, it is our love of Mary. Olympia is the limit when we begin to think of her prowess in athletics, wherein she has set a standard of the finest sportsmanship we have ever seen. Reliable in her office, completely genuine in her friendliness, and with a rare humility ol mind in the face of her accomplishments — Mary is one who values happiness as she does integrity I hirly-one 9 3 8 TOWER Elizabeth Collins, E. de M.

Betty is very kind, very direct, and very inter¬ ested in whatever concerns college and college- life, and has a strength of character that is tempered by sweetness. However, Betty’s good qualities do not confine themselves to integrity of character alone, hut they run over into the practical sphere, where her sane judgment and freedom from pretense are enviable things to witness. Her friendliness is as warm and bright as sunlight on a mountain lake — its reflection touching and cheerfully changing all that sur¬ rounds it.

Perhaps it is due to her jolly nature, or perhaps it is be¬ cause she knows how to make the best of any situation — and have a glorious time in doing so. But she works as hard as she plays; and there is a generosity lurking in her Irish blue eyes — a generosity which is even more evident in her associations with others. Here s to the joy in you.

Meriden High School Merid en, Connecticut ToS TO FTICE —l Grace has been given a name that really de¬ notes her way and demeanor. Depth of character, soundness of judgment find themselves expressed not only in her actions but also in her strong, fine features. Occasionally to the great delight of her friends, she tosses off her quietude to become a very jolly Grace. However, we love her reflective mood, for it is then that she pens a distinguished, literary masterpiece, and gives generously of her penetrating mind.

Becky Cronin, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart Kenwood, Albany, New York Becky is like a little wren when she talks and laughs; and yet, in another moment she can, and does, assume all the poise and dignity of a well- beloved queen. Her dramatic aptitude is some¬ thing which the College cherishes and values —- for her character depiction and comprehensive interpretation have been little short of Cornellian in their sincerity and finesse. Becky’s conscien¬ tiousness in the Thesbian sphere adapts itself to studies and whatever else she puts forth her hand to do. Her charm is elfin-like in its magic, her de¬ votion to her friends is unflagging, and her deal¬ ings with acquaintances are truly delightful. I hirty-six TOWER .

Eleanor s artistic ability has expressed itself so ably in her illustrations of Gone With The Wind, that they warrant a new edition of it. The best be yours, jaunty and lovable Eleanor.

Susanne Duffy, E. de M. Convent of the Sacred Heart 91st Street, New York, New York It is as if you found a neat, very smart package from a very smart shop, opened it up, and there was Sue. A crisp, immaculate and attractive Sue, with a head as practical as it is pretty, and an assurance in her expression that dispels all qualms and worries. She can meet any problem with speed and directness. Her temperament is like a shining, smooth-running river that has little turbulence and less hurry.

She is as merry as she is earnest, together with a thoughtfulness that is striking because of its constancy and depth. She can be a saucy, capricious Lucy, and we are entertained; she can evaluate the worth of a lit¬ erary piece, and we respect that evaluation; she can he distinctly and lovably — Alice, and we bless her a hundredfold!

When it comes to being aware of what you are about and what you are going to do, look to Betty as an unexcelle d example of a person who is really alive and on her toes.’’ Some say she is demure; we think she has a reality and logic about her that refutes any ideas of demure passiv¬ ity. Her magic with a basketball, her winsomeness and her warm cordiality are indications of an earnest and lovable person.

Katherine Ford, E. de M. Mamaroneck High School Mamaroneck, New York There is always something important afoot, at least that s what Kay s wide eyes and quick smile portend. She attacks an assignment with the fervor of a woman s political campaign, a fervor that has gone a long way in Catholic Action. She is industrious to the point of discouragement (for the rest of us) and her optimism is something akin to presumption; that is, unless you know Kay, our generous, interesting and voluble Kay.

She can have an argument with herself and then solve the whole problem before you can decide where and when she began. She can convince you that black is white, and show you how utterly simple anything it (even when it isnt), and still make you believe it.

Elmhurst, Providence, Rhode Island Genial, serene and lovable Barbara — who doesn t worry about to-morrow s rain but enjoys to-days sunshine. The moment would indeed be rare if we found her minus her smile and greeting which are as cheerful as a glowing hearth. The fact that she majors in Biology implies that she has an industrious mind and a taste for hard work. We find something stalwart yet flexible about her character ... a quixotic qualit y of battling wind-mills to overcome obstacles; and complete unselfishness when it is a question of helping others.

She has an eye for symmetry and artistic perfection; and she can vie with Steichen in the camera- world. Most artists are absent-mindedly generous, but Betty gives with a conscious and thoughtful delight.

Convent of the Sacred Heart Clifton, Cincinnati, Ohio Jane has three great talents: the art of making friends — and keeping them; the art of making everyone laugh; and a versatility that includes an aptitude for doing anything from an imperson¬ ation of the bewildered soul to the decorating of the Gym. If you want vivacity, humor, and personality, go to Jane; if you want something sterling, substantial and spontaneous — she has that too. A genuine, jolly person whom everyone loves.

Harriet manages the Hockey I earn and the Aquatic Cluh with the efficiency ol four secretaries; and there is nothing that whets her literary appetite more than a French essay. However, there is more to Harriet than gaiety and affability — she is sin¬ cerity, selflessness and sympathy.

She is loveliness, she is charm, ' and the heavens such grace did lend her.’’ Mary might well be a devastating poke-bonneted maid, be- ribboned and gowned in silks and velvet; but we usually see her tousled head, ink-bottle deep in an assignment. She has a masterly touch in her writing; her Short Stories are little less than pro¬ fessional, and we bow and bow before her as a competent authoress. She has a spark and crackle in her humor; she is calmly determined, and ut¬ terly beguiling in her ways.

We think it is also because of her keen appreciation of fine things and her ability to impart this same appreciation to others.

It is not different at Manhattanville, nor does the logical necessity of that feeling make it any less sincere toward the present Senior class. Its members have managed to achieve completely the poise so necessary to the existence of the tradition, and at the same time they have inspired a fondness in our hearts which makes us glad to have it so. As leaders, the Seniors have carried on the activities of the college and left the mark of their efficiency upon them. As hostesses, they chilled our spirits at their Halloween party hut warmed them again before the evening was over. As individuals, they have compelled our admiration for their talent in art and literature; and have already earned the attention of the world outside of Manhattanville. As Seniors, they will leave us with the conviction that they are models well worth imitating. We feel that they cannot fail to he as successful in whatever fields they now choose as they have been in college, and we know that they will continue to bring as much happiness to others as they have brought to us.

Ninetv-four 938 TOWER THE JUNIOR CLASS T he Juniors returned to college in the fall with the feeling of finally having grown to man s estate. Our first gesture of maturity came almost immediately, when we gave protection and shelter to our harassed Freshman sisters in the form of a tea in the Benziger Building. We next emerged into public affairs with the presentation of our class enter¬ tainment to the college, in December, for the benefit of the Missionary Association. Beyond this we have not been especially prominent this year as a class but the activities of certain individuals within our ranks have assured us of a place in the Manhattanville hall of fame. We have felt the importance of our position as upperclassmen more fully, perhaps, than have the Juniors of other years, because of our presence in Founder’s Flail with the Seniors. It seems expressive of greater unity that Founder’s Flail now stands for the feeling of growth formerly symbolized by the cap and gown, a symbol, after all, for an individual rather than for a class, it is with this unity of purpose that we will attempt to follow in the footsteps of this year’s Senior class, to whom we present the Tower as record of its varied and admirable activities, and as testimony of our personal devotion to its members.

' One H undred Two 938 TOWER THE SOPHOMORE CLASS T HE Sophomores are a versatile group of people. They began the year by inflicting upon tbe Fresbmen a reign of terror that sent those unfortunates into hiding, and that aroused compassion for them in the coldest hearts. When they felt that their victims were sufficiently con¬ scious of their humble place in the social scale, the chameleon-like Sophomores suddenly became the most gentle and charming of crea¬ tures, and in that state appeared before us in a production of The Florist Shop,” by Winifred Hawkridge, and treated us afterward to a repast in the gym. As actresses in the play, their performances were most convincing, and led to our realization of the fact that their apparent tyranny a short time before was only make-believe. The good sportsmanship of the Sophomores when they lost the coveted Hockey Cup would stand alone as an effective tribute to them, for knowledge of the way to meet defeat is in a sense more praise¬ worthy than is success, of which the class has had so much in its two years at Manhattanville. More proof of the invincible spirit of the Sophomores was manifest when they rose like the Phoenix from their previous destruction and won the Basketball Cup. 1 he class is deserv¬ ing of praise in every way, and has revealed the fact in all of its actions.

From the beginning of the year their predominant characteristic has been an amazing vitality. They made a quick recovery from what damage was done to their pride during hazing and were soon before us again with their class play, ' Manhattanville is a College,’’ which deserves more than a passing word; definitely a Tour star production, it was one of the best entertain¬ ments ever presented to the college, and one which will probably stand unchallenged in time to come. Unsatisfied with their well-earned laurels as entertainers the Fresh¬ men have excelled in other fields. Outstanding athletes, they won the Flockey Cup, gave a new player to the Varsity Basketball Team, and won second place in the first college swimming meet. In addition to this glory it is not necessary to add more words of praise; we bow in admira¬ tion to the Freshmen, and to their President, Beatrice Brennan.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT THIS year has been a progressive one for Student Government. The new problems ' presented by the existence of Founders’ Hall have served to reveal its efficiency more clearly than ever, and it has met their demands with the ease characteristic of a well- lunctioning body. Because of this geographic division of the college, it has expanded its forces by the addition of the three underclass vice-presidents to its membership, and has earned a right to say, paradoxical as it may seem, divided we stand. We have not failed to recognize in these achievements the able guidance of Mother Said, and the excellent leadership of Ursula McAghon as President of Student Government. Ursula has preserved the high standards of this vital position in the college, and has also remained her own friendly self in her relations to us. The pi ace filled by her will he yielded next year to Pamela 1 ucker who will, with the officers of Student Government, give us that feeling of security and strength which it has always given.

THE SODALITY OF THE CHILDREN OF MARY TO be a member of the Sodality of tbe Children of Mary is the aspiration of every loyal ■ student of Manhattanville. I he present membership in the sodality is one hundred and thirty-four which represents almost half the student-body. Through its numerical wealth and supernatural motive the sodality strives to be a spiritual influence in the college. The board of the Sodality, with Maribeth Tobin as its chairman, has felt that its best contribution would be to stress to the members of the Sodality the possibilities for influence which any Child of Mary can realize by the mere fact that she is faithful to her convictions: deeds, not words. It is good to see that the Sodality which is one of the oldest forces at Manhattanville has not suffered the infirmities generally associated with material age but has continued through the years to gain in influence and strength and to be a force for good in the college.

CATHOLIC ACTION T HE purpose of Catholic Action is to make us aware of Catholic events and to gain our cooperation in Catholic activities. It provides an opportunity for every intelligent student to learn her place in the world as a Catholic; in its monthly forums we are told about the current plans and problems of the Church in relation to the rest of the world, and in each case we are shown how we may lend our support. Open discussion from the floor further stimulates our interest and trains us for future public speaking in behalf of our religion. The first forums this year have been conc erned with such diverse subjects as pro¬ portional representation, Pax Romana, and Catholic literature. Besides this there have been certain changes and improvements, such as the growing interest of many persons in the study club at Barat, and the remodelling of the Literature Committee, which met with such success at Christmas in its campaign for subscriptions to Catholic magazines. As members of Catholic Action the entire college has taken part in its forums. The majority of students are also working in one of six committees, which consist of the Catechetical, Legislative, Publicity, Liturgical, Literary and Apologetic Committees. We thank the chairman, Margery Kneip, for the increased enthusiasm she has aroused through¬ out the college for Catholic Action.

THE MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION “THE Missionary Association is composed of all members of tbe college. Eacb girl at • Manbattanville gives of ber time and energy, as well as ber financial support. Tbe activities in its bebalf are participated in quite willingly by all, whether they are working at the Barat Settlement, the Casita Maria, or St. Bridget s. At Christmas time some stu¬ dents of the college who live in New York City help to deliver baskets of food to the poor. This year an effort was made to arouse the zeal of the college still further by creating an individual interest in particular missions in far-off countries; each girl was free to indicate to which corner of the earth she wished her contributions to be sent. On February seventeenth, the Missionary Association gave a bridge-tea in the Ben ziger Building at which alumnae, friends, and students gathered to spend a thoroughly pleasant afternoon together in order to help the missions. The afternoon was a success in every way, and the Missionary Association would like to thank all those who helped to make it such.

THE ESSAY THE Essay is the literary magazine of Manhattanville, to which the aspiring writers of ■ the college contribute the results of their labor. To its contributors it brings recognition and the satisfaction of seeing their brain-children captured in print; to its other readers it is a source of pleasure and of pride in the accomplishments of their fellow students. Within the Essay one may find so much that is interesting and so much that is also beautiful that it should receive a warm welcome at the time of each publication. The three r s ’ are essential requirements for members of the Essay Board, as well as a driving energy in their use. For the hard-working Board spends much of its ability on the reading of contributions from the college and the writing of their own, and upon the arithmetical problem of making the expense of the Essay s production equal the income from the advertisements they have managed to add to its pages. This year the Board has made excellent use of its editorial and publishing senses, and the writing con¬ tained in the bi-annually published Essay has reflected their discernment, and their individual talent.

THE DEBATING CLUB N O one could accuse a member of tbe Debating Club of a mere passing interest in its activities. Tbe minimum requirements for success in tbe club are poise, a quick mind, an almost unlimited enthusiasm, and a willingness to work bard. Its members take part in frequent debates at tbe meetings, and there is also a team, which is now in its third year of intercollegiate debate. Under tbe president, Jeanne Lantry, who was chosen tbe best speaker of tbe college last season, a new plan has been instituted this year, that of having tbe team take one side of a debate against all of tbe other members of the club. This has been good training for all involved, and will probably result in even better teams in tbe future. Manhattanville lost tbe season’s first debate to Rosemont, on tbe resolution that tbe National Labor Relations Board be empowered to enforce legislation in all industrial disputes. Later, however, the team defeated Trinity in a discussion of tbe same subject. The season closed with a victory over New Rochelle, on tbe question, Resolved that we approve a policy of isolation for tbe United States. Tbe Debating Club deeply appreciates tbe assistance of Mother 1 enney, tbe facidty advisor, and of Mr. McClelland, tbe coach.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB THIS year the Dramatic Club abandoned its policy of presenting one-act plays to the ' college, and plunged immediately into rehearsals of 1 he Rivals’ one of its two productions of the year. Under the guidance of Mother Keyes and Mrs. Livingston, the new plan met with great success, and ' The Rivals” became a memorable occasion in the dramatic history of the college. Toto Clarke proved hersell to be an ideal Mrs. Mala- prop, and Becky Cronin’s performance of Lydia Languish was excellent. The Dramatic Club has been extremely fortunate in having Genevieve O’Malley for its president. It has achieved an unprecedented efficiency in rehearsal and production under her direction. The plays have been better organized in each stage of their develop¬ ment and, in keeping with Mrs. Livingston s plan for making the members of the club less dependent upon her assistance, the students have had more influence than before in their direction. At present the club is working on Much Ado About Nothing, and we feel that with its galaxy of stars, including Gen as Beatrice and Ginnie Sheehan as Benedick, it is an assured success. 1 he Dramatic Club has become increasingly important in the extra-curricular life of the college.

Maintenant, nous attendons avec impatience un retour au Moyen-Age par la representation de L Annonce Faite a Marie ”, piece de Paul Claudel, dont Ies caracteres expriment le vif contraste, si typique, entre cette epoque et la notre. Si, comme nous I esperons, nous pouvons communiquer I esprit de la piece a notre auditoire, notre succes sera du a 1 entrainement de Mere Lecroix, qui, en verite, fait vivre le Cercle Frangais.

THE PHILOSOPHY CLUB THIS year the Philosophy Club accepted The Challenge of Humanism , transmitted • through Louis J. A. Mercier. After hearing Mr. Mercier’s estimate of the American exponents of Humanism, Irving Babbitt and Paul Elmer More, Mr. Babbitt was asked to speak for himself in The New Laokon and Rousseau and Romanticism . After this, general discussion turned to Rousseau and Voltaire. Then the human plane itself was left behind as the thought of Paul Elmer More was followed to its logical conclusions. And it was discovered that a key to the lock of Humanism had been given to the Philosophy Club when Father Sparrow, O.S.A. of Villanova College spoke on The Relation of the Supernatural to Humanism . Before the second term’s regular meetings began, the Club welcomed Dr. Maria Maudry of the Universities of Vienna and Fordham, who gave us valuable information on Child Psychology ’, and then Mr. Will iam C. Smith, who delighted all his hearers with a stirring speech on 1 he Philosophy of St. Augustine . Members of the Philosophy Club are twice blessed: it provides them with mental stimulation, and everything they learn through it is certain to have a real and lasting value in their lives.

All who were present appreciated the ease with which the Glee Club surmounted the difficulties which arose from having so many persons on the stage, and everyone enjoyed its singing of both rare and familiar Scotch songs. Before the presentation of the play the Club had given us a memorable evening of music of the past, when it sang in Founder’s Flail on housewarming night. Shortly after the play it was before us again with the annual singing of Christmas carols which is treasured in the memory of everyone who has ever heard it. On March seventeenth it presented an appropriate program of Irish songs to the college, and included in the evening s entertainment some Irish dances by two very talented children, Bobby and Mary O Donoghue. A classical program is now being planned for the more distant future. It is indeed an energetic group, yet, strangely enough, it does more than any other Club to soothe our nerves.

Its members are those girls who have developed their interest in the sciences to the extent that they have succeeded in creating a lively enthusiasm for them. To an outsider their discussions have a certain incomprehensibility, hut to them they are as exciting as Gone with the Wind was to the rest of us. With few outside lectures this year, the members have had several stimulating meetings at the conclusion of each of which they have justifiably felt the joy that comes from definite accomplish¬ ment. Mother Connick has been a helpful advisor to Phi Mu Beta Chi and with Ruth Considine at the helm of its expeditions in science, the Club has inaugurated new de¬ partures from the methods of its predecessors. For the first time there have been movies to enliven its meetings, and it has also heard interesting lectures by Dr. Haggerty and Mr. Mira. From the accounts we have heard of their activities by various members of the Club we do not wonder at the continued and increasing popularity of Phi Mu Beta Chi at Manhattanville.

THE CLASSICAL CLUB THE purpose of the Classical Club, presided over this year by Mary Hamilton Lee, is to interest the college in Classicism as a better means than Romanticism to an intel¬ lectual appreciation of things. The members of the club feel that the college has insufficient understanding of classicism, and they hope, by studying and discussing it themselves, ultimately to spread its meaning to others. This year the club presented the Medea of Euripides. The enacting of this terrific tragedy was a most difficult feat, and in choosing it, the club revealed its high ambition and courage. The members showed maturity and understanding in their performance, and added to that a well-developed sense of beauty. The chorus, composed of Freshmen interested in choral speech, added much to the beauty of the production; its words were always clear, and its treatment of the poetry was superb. Sighle Kennedy’s rendering of Medea left in breathless admiration even those who were familiar with her talent. The most important thing of all about the presentation of the Medea” was that it succeeded in arousing the interest of its audience in the Classics. For this reason we praise it not only as a success in itself, but as a further step toward the fulfillment of the Classical Club s purpose.

THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB THE members of the Social Science Club are fortunate in having frequent lectures given ■ them by eminent persons from outside the college. 1 be club meets once every month, and is addressed each time by someone who not only is an authority on bis subject, but who is sufficiently interested to answer painstakingly the questions proposed by bis enthusiastic audience. It is during the period of discussion after each of these lectures that one especially realizes the extent of the members curiosity about sociological prob¬ lems, and their honest desire to understand them. Tb us far this year the Social Science Club has bad four particularly interesting Iect ures, Dr. John J. MacPbee, a psychiatrist, talked on insanity; Mr. Robert Wilberforce demonstrated the influence of personalities on history; Mr. Charles Tobin discussed legislation; and Mr. Thomas Woodlock, the Editor of the Wall Street Journal, spoke about the Constitution of the United States. This diversity of themes gives the club members a wider knowledge of the social sciences, and supplements the more formal arrangement of the subjects studied by them in the class room. 1 be club is grateful to Florence Oglietti, its president, for the stimulating programs she has secured.

THE ENGLISH CLUB IN its second year, the English Club is out of its infancy, and has put its best foot for- ' ward for a few first steps on its own. The three units. Writing, Criticism and Poetry, have been busy in the production of their particular types of literature, and much of the result of this expenditure of their various energies has been of value, intrinsically and as indication that the club is using the right means toward a good end. On February fourteenth the members of the club gathered in the lounge of the gym for an Eighteenth Century Clipper, presided over by Dr. Samuel Johnson and attended by a number of his famous contemporaries. The evening was so successful that no one would willingly have parted from the Eighteenth Century had not the strength of the club s exceedingly Twentieth Century spirit reconciled us to our return. On March twenty-third, the club shared one of its pleasures with the rest of the college, in a clever dramatic adaptation of the parts of the immortal ' Winnie the Pooh . The members of the English Club owe sincere thanks to Mother Williams, and to this year s president, Toto Clarke, because in raising it to its present state of importance they have equalled in value the deed done by its founders.

THE SPANISH CLUB THE meetings of the Spanish Club are usually very informal; the members discuss ■ varied subjects pertaining to Spain, and in that way gain knowledge of the language and of the country itself. There was, however, one meeting this year in which the club heard an outside speaker; Senor Cardenas, a former ambassador from Spain to the United States, talked to the club about the present situation in Spain. Despite the dis¬ cretion necessary to a diplomat, Senor Cardenas gave a fascinating discussion of h is subject, and the club felt honored by his presence. In February the Spanish Club entertained the College with a series of tableaux depicting the works of art of the great Spanish masters; and revived for us some of the glory of Spain’s past history which too frequently becomes obscured in our minds by our realization of its present misery. A critical description of each painting was read by Becky Cronin before its presentation in order to prepare the audience; in the tableaux themselves a marvelous likeness to the painting they represented was achieved, especially in Murillo’s Beggar Boy” and Goya’s Flower Girl ’. We wish to thank the Spanish Club and its acting president, Flarriet Hussey, for a pleasant and memorable evening.

THE ITALIAN CLUB “j”HE Italian Club meets officially once a month, and its members also gather informally ' every Friday for conversation. At the monthly meetings there is as much that is amus¬ ing as instructive, and everyone has an enjoyable time. At the first meeting this year the members of the club have occupied themselves with activities as pleasant and varied as playing Italian games, singing Italian songs and discussing Italy and her cities. An interested student can in this manner learn a great deal of the language while primarily enjoying herself. In the fall, the Italian Club presented an entertaining play to the college called Agenore I Indeciso , about a man who was unable to make decisions. The comedy was performed so well and with such expressive acting, that it was easily followed even by those in the audience who were utterly unfamiliar with the language, and everyone who saw it was delighted by its humor. Members of the Italian Club realize how valuable have been the efforts of its presi¬ dent, Melba Oglietti. in making it so interesting.

THE GERMAN CLUB THE German Club is not large, but each of its members bas a great interest in tbe I subject, wbicb gives tbe Club tbe strength of quality if not of quantity. Under tbe leadership of Georgina Rintelen, its president, tbe Club bas informal meetings in wbicb its members converse in tbe language and entertain themselves in ways appropriate to tbe study of German. Sometimes by means of moving pictures, travelogues of Germany are shown at tbe meetings; at other times tbe members sing German songs. At present with a view toward becoming more familiar with German music, tbe Club is planning a series of meetings at wbicb phonograph records of the orchestral and operatic music of the country are to be played; since Germany has a very full and beautiful musical history, the members of the Club are looking forward to many inspiring meetings. This year the Club bas had the pleasure of the presence of Miss Hedwig Lindser of Germany, who is at Manhattanville as a substitute for Miss Scholz, the associate professor of German, who is on leave attending the University of Munich. The German Club is not conspicuously active in the affairs of the college, but although it 1 unctions in a somewhat subdued manner, we are nevertheless fully aware of its existence, and of its value in leading toward a better understanding of a great nation.

THE THUMB TACK CLUB “THE Thumb Tack Club, long a favorite of those of us who serve art more by absorbing ■ its beauty than by contributing to its history, turned its attention this year to a study of the isms in modern art. The thought behind such movements as cubism, futurism, vorticism, dadaism, synchronism and abstractionism, was examined with an earnest desire to understand it and to overcome the intolerance which arises in many observers as a result of a wrong viewpoint, and to establish a critical basis for judgment. The club twice abandoned its probings into modern art for the sake of two very interesting lectures by persons from outside the college. Dr. Coss of Columbia University spoke about Oriental textiles, and gave us additional pleasure by showing us some beau¬ tiful textiles of his own. Later in the year there was a lecture by Hildreth Meiere, who described her work on murals for the coming World’s Fair; Miss Meiere combined wit and a comprehensive knowledge of this form of art to give us a most delightful evening. The Thumb Tack Club feels that much praise is due to the president, Virginia Kaufman, for her interest in its activities, and for her leadership in the movement to spread artistic tolerance.

THE CHOIR A E may become so easily accustomed to tbe work of the College Choir that we cease ” to appreciate the efforts of each of its members. 1 his is owing, perhaps, to the excellent quality of its singing, which indeed seems effortless; at any rate we should occasionally recall the devotion which inspires the beautiful music that we have come to know and love so well at Manhattanville. The Choir is a valuable exponent of the liturgical movement sponsored by the Catholic Action Committee. It is heartening to observe a practical approach to the ideals of this movement in the improvement in the singing of the entire college when it joins with the Choir to sing High Mass. Here the marked cooperation of the student body is felt in the growing assurance with which they sing. Under the direction of Mother Smith, the leadership of Barbara Marion, and with the assistance of Mother Morgan, the Choir has made real advances this year in its steps toward perfection; the members who have faithfully attended its weekly practises may feel well rewarded by the realization of this fact. To them the college offers grateful appreciation of the devoted zeal which has home such prayerful and inspiring fruit.

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION “THIS year Miss Betty Sherwood, who had been the director of the Athletic Association, I retired from her position because of her marriage, which took place in January. The sorrow occasioned by her departure was subordinated to joy for her happiness, and the entire college joins in best wishes for her future. During her two years in the position. Miss Sherwood made several valuable contributions toward improving the athletic de¬ partment of the college, and everyone has appreciated her work. Miss Martha Farmer, who came to Manhattanville last year has replaced Miss Sherwood, and is assisted by Miss Winifred Faunce. Under Miss Farmer’s guidance the Athl etic Association has encouraged the interest of the college in athletics, and has presented a program of activities so full that it must include something to everyone’s taste. The interclass hockey and basketball games were managed well this year, the teams having had sufficient practice to provide many interesting contests. The efficiency of the Athletic Association in connection with this, and with the intercollegiate schedule, must be credited in large part to its President, Mary Cohaian. to whom the college gives a vote of thanks, as well as admiration of her prowess as an outstanding athlete. One Hundred Thirty-nine 1 Forty One undred 9 3 8 TOWER VARSITY HOCKEY M ANHATTANVILLE had an unusually fine Varsity team with which to face this year s full hockey schedule. The team met skilled opponents and was victorious in all of its attempts but two; there was no bitterness in those defeats, since the victors in each case were noted for their strength. A tribute was paid to the team this season in the form of an invitation to play in the intercollegiate games of the Hockey Conference at Dobbs Ferry; at the Conference Manhattanville defeated New York University. At the Annual Hockey Banquet, which took place after the Thanksgiving holidays. Reverend Mother presented awards to members of the Varsity and Class teams, and a gold hockey stick to Maribeth Tobin in acknowledgement of her splendid leadership of the Varsity team. Thus was marked the close of a successful and satisfy ing season.

Manhattanville loses one of its greatest players witb tbe graduation of Mary Cobalan. Eminent in other fields as well, her spectacular playing and never say die spirit were definite assets to four varsity basketball teams.

THE AQUATIC CLUB “THE Aquatic Club is physically very active; its meetings are generally held with all ’ of its members in tbe water, although occasionally they are content to stay ashore and watch other swimmers and divers perform before them. This last may be brought about in one of two ways; it can be accomplished by means of moving pictures, which are a new feature of the club s program this year, or by exhibitions by persons from outside of college. Last fall the club had the pleasure of seeing an exhibition of diving by Miss Helen McKail, a winner of the Metropolitan meet, whose performance was both inter¬ esting and instructive. At present the Aquatic Club is planning a spectacular water circus, to be presented some time in April; and practice for it is already under way. We are told that the circus will be even better than last year’s, and that it will include, among other things, some complicated formation swimming, and new lighting effects. Judging by the Club s past record, this will be one circus about which even the most enthusiastic barber cannot exaggerate.

VARSITY TENNIS A El HOUGH the Tennis team met with occasional defeat last year, on the whole it ' ' had a most satisfactory season. Under the management of Agnes Milne, and com¬ posed of Marion Shale, Mona Schmid (Captain), Jane Hoy, Lois Lane, and Genevieve O Malley, the team played a full and exciting schedule of games. It was victorious over the Alumnae, Rosemont, St. Elizabeth’s, and New College, and was defeated only by Mt. St. Joseph’s, and William and Mary. The Varsity team, and also every one who plays tennis at Manhattanville, is eagerly awaiting the completion of the new court now under construction at the north end of Founder’s Hall. This court has been provided for by the College Endowment Fund, and, with the two courts already on the campus, it should result in a college more actively interested in tennis than ever before. Because of the early date at which the Tower goes to press it is impossible to include the schedule of intercollegiate games for this spring, but the team is looking forward to a successful season with Mona Schmid as Captain, and Martina Reynolds as Manager.

April 12—The Glee Club repeated its production of The Mikado’ for the benefit of the Missionary Association.

April 26—The college celebrated Rev¬ erend Mother General’s Day with the Senior 1 ree Planting ceremony in the morning, and a presentation by the Dramatic Club in the evening of Twelfth Night.” As great a success as the several current Shakespearian productions on Broadway, Twelfth Night outdid most of them in having not one but many stars in its cast. Among those who shone particularly in the play were Gene¬ vieve O’Malley as Olivia, Toto Clarke as Sir Toby Belch, Ginnie Sheehan as Feste, Loretta O Connell as Viola, Mary Martha Nokely as Sebastian, and Margaret Ann Norton as Sir Andrew Aguecheek. April 13—The basketball season was offi¬ cially closed by a banquet at which the activities of the season were celebrated.

April 14—As its entertainment for the college the Junior class chose to present 1 oto Clarke’s original play “Man Proposes. Th is was a departure from the spirit of the traditional class entertainment, for besides being amusing, Man Proposes” is a well- written play which has met with some acclaim outside of Manhattanville. As it was a different type of presentation, so was the applause it received different; it echoed not only the pleasure of the audience, but also its sincere admiration and joy for Toto’s success as a playwright. April 15—The Fresh men won the season’s last swimming meet. Tied for second place in the contest were the Juniors and Sopho¬ mores, and the ancient Seniors, seeing per¬ haps another goal in sight, came in last in this particular struggle.

Although the party was a testimonial of friendship for those about to depart from college, there was no place for sorrow. May 8—Manhattanville had its annual tea dance at the Ambassador. With the music of Sonny Kendis and his Stork Club Orchestra, and a large attendance, the tea dance was memorable for the pleasure it provided. May 9—The tennis team was defeated by Mt. St. Joseph s College. May 10—The Aquatic Club gave a water circus as good as any under the big top.” May 11—The college heard its most tal¬ ented orators in a public debate.

May 25—The college celebrated St. Madeleine Sophie’s feast, and our pre¬ decessor, the 1937 Tower, was given out, to be received with an acclaim that it will be difficult for us to rival. The day was further enlivened by the presence of many children of Alumnae, who came for the annual Baby Party. May 26—The Freshmen had their turn in honoring the Seniors, and entertained them at a picnic in Libanus. May 27—There was a beautiful and im¬ pressive procession on the campus with outdoor Benediction, on the feast of Corpus Christi.

October 28—J he Seniors’ Hallowe en party began as a masquerade, with all of us in disguise of one sort or another, and evolved into a ghoulish affair in the darker parts of the Gym. We were amply com¬ pensated for what terrors we might have suffered, however, by a return to the festive spirit via games, fortune telling, and re¬ freshments. November 5—Marilyn Doty, an extremely talented child violinist, played before the college. The program included music by I.alo, Sondby, Ravel, Brahms and Saint Saens. November 5—Dr. Coss of Columbia Uni¬ versity spoke before the J humb Tack Club, and other members of the college, on Ori¬ ental textiles, and showed some of his own collection of beautiful and unusual textiles.

December 2 — In honor of Mother Dammann s feast day there were tableaux of a series of Madonnas in the morning, and in the evening the Glee Club proudly presented The Hundred Pipers,” a play by Toto Clarke.
