' 9 pearance, and its pages are eagerly scanned in hopes of pm-B, finding out just what has gone on within these fair portals Q32 during the last year. And then what happens to the illus- 6 lg 4 trious volume? Is it to be placed high up on the shelf, to seek 5 X' 4 . repose beneath the dust of ages? We hope not, and trust that you, dear Oberlinite, will oft have occasion to call it forth to tell you over and over again just what a grand year this 1920-1921 college year has been. This is the purpose of the I-Ii-O-1-Ii-to be a friend to you, both now and in later days, when the long miles shall keep you far from Oberlin, though your spirit longs to be back there. When, as of, old, the muse awoke on a bright September morning last fall, after a summer s nap 'neath the purple shades of the Arboretum, 'twas a new Oberlin she gazed upon. Gone were the khaki-clad lads, although some of the brave warriors who fought the battles on the plains of Oberlin had resurrected parts of 'the olive drab , gone were the sounds of the bugle from the porch of the Men s Building 5 yes, even those days had passed when one by one the noble warriors from an exhausted land came back to more pleasant duties. In its place the muse saw a new Oberlin, with throngs coming from far and near, anxious to obtain alarger and more comprehensive view of life and to receive that training which will help in the reconstruction and development of this war-stricken planet of ours. There also dawned a new future for Oberlin-with plans for an enlarged and beautified college which will be more capable to meet the needs of the youth of the land. And the muse was pleased, and as she took up her golden harp, the sweet low sound of mystic music flowed over the campus, and those whose hearts and ears were atune to the voices of the Gods heard the faint strains of the Alma Mater. i But, let's get back to earth, and leaf through the pages as we go. Here you will find the faces of those you know, and perhaps, loveg you will find them not once, but many times over, in all their moods. And the campus, in all its majestic Splendor-the many organizations-the defenders of the Golden O, -our Oberlin homes, all parade by in silence, anxious to show you just how much you mean to them and they to you. Certainly you will find them interesting com- panions. i .The correct translation of the word I-li-O-I-Ii, which is truly Oberlinanic in its origin, is, a memory book of the most pleasant year spent within the portals of Oberlin, -sort of short-hand, as it were. And this is the wish we would leave with you, that as time rolls by, you may find this thirty-second volume of the Hi-O-Hi an ever enlarging source of joy and of beautiful mem- ories of the days long past when you yourselves were the proud citizens of that mystic wonderland called Oberlin. 7 I A iff i of 1 .

In our hurrying to and from classes in our mad rush for that something called an education, we scarcely have time to really see our campus. The visitor, coming into this fair village by way of the depot , wonders just what sort of a place this is, but when the long walk up Professor Street reveals at last the home of Learning and Labor , he stops to look, and to admire, for Oberlin ranks high among American colleges in beauty as well as scholarship. Yet how seldom do we stop to consider this? But it is there, in all its glory, constantly changing its appearance as the seasons roll by, ylet always the same. Though winter and summer clothe it in different garb, Oberlin would be recognized where'er we might find it,-for Oberlin, in spite of our seeming indifference, has found a niche in the heart of every one of us. Though we may not express in poetic terms our love for its beauty, nevertheless, throughout the later years, we will feel deep within us a thrill whenever we see or recall the beautiful trees, the shaded walks, the vine- clad buildings, the broad expanse of the chapel, the restful quiet of the Art Bulldmg,-Or, at another season of the year, the black outlines of the trees, Jetted against the dazzling, snow-covered ground. To keep this memory ever in the minds of every one of us is the purpose of the next few pages. We have tried to gather together a section which will be Pleasing to the eye, together with a few paragraphs which will remind us of our Clays on the Oberlin Campus. May they meet with your approval! 9 -N '. ,Y TG. 'su '11 . I1 .i,'r.f 'Hill ' l W l ,,K , A XXXXXA, T 111l 1lZ1l'1 .1 im . li l...lr x N 111 . . T.-1 I NIV. 1 1 -411 .

The Trustees, of whom the students know comparatively little, though an important part of our government, determine the policy of the college, and decide many varied matters of business. This year an extensive plan for the future Oberlin was voted on. ' The faculty! They are not .far away or distant, but ratherclose to the student life of every day. I-Iampered 'somewhat by large classes they are unable in many cases to get personally in touch with all their pupils, but through several channels an acquaintanceship is furthered. In addition to conducting the chapel services, in turn, during the year, they give invaluable aid to the student body in the capacity of general and major advisors. ' This year we were brought to recognize in still greater measure the achieve- ments of our President. In awarding him the medal of the Legion of l-lonor, the government of France showed its appreciation of his services. The untiring services of our deans seem often not to be fully appreciated. They listen patiently to the tales of why I missed the class , or why I was tardy last Tuesday morning, and are indeed lenient in forgiving offenses. ' And with what a feeling of satisfaction and sense of fair treatment we leave the Administration Building after having had a schedule changed! ' 25 Henry Churchill King, LL.D. President King RESIDENT KING is in a true sense a citizen of the world. Few of us in Oberlin, absorbed as we are in our round of tasks, can appreciate at how many and various points he touches the life of our time. We know some- thing of the constructive religious and political work he did in Europe and Western Asia during his sabbatical year 1918-1919-work which led john R. Mott to call him a religious statesman of the first order, and the recognition accorded it by the French government in bestowing upon him last December the coveted order of Chevalier of the Legion of I-lonorg but we scarcely compre- hend how largely World problems bulk in his interests and thinking during any ordinary day here at home. I-le is chairman or member of half a dozen coun- cils and committees who are championing international and world movements, and his judgment and advice are sought by numerous other national and inter- national organizations. Through his numerous addresses, too, he is touching the leaders of thought and action throughout the country. During the past year he has given more than a hundred addresses and sermons, not to mention the chapel talks and 26 lectures before his Sunday morning Bible Class here in Oberlin. l-le has attended during the same time over a score of meetings of national and international reli- gious and educational committees and associations. As some one has suggested, he does the work of four men. First, he is president of a great and growing college and is serving that college with rare distinction. During his presidency the scholastic standards of the college have risen and the resources been greatly increased, in a word, the college has risen from a struggling institution to a place of rank among the first colleges of the country. Beyond this, he has still larger plans for the Oberlin of the future, as evidenced in his report to the trustees last fall and given in outline before the students and faculty in chapel. These plans call for an extensive building campaign, for added equipment and library facilities, for increased teaching force, for greater opportunities for research, and for a thoroughly equipped technical school. What college is being served more largely and wisely? Second, he teaches as many hours as many professors in large universities and who would say not effectively! Few lyceum lecturers give more addresses in a year than President King, and, not least, he writes as voluminously and effectively as most men who give their whole time to writing. This scholar and world citizen, who, as a great educator recently said, would be an ornament to any university in the world, this protagonist of the sacred- ness of personality and of the supremacy of friendship, is our president and may become our spiritual adviser and friend. What greater boon could come to an aspiring youth! jesse F.

This Board of Trustees proved its usefulness and efficiency, and by constant effort helped bring the Institution out of its infancy to the Oberlin College to which it has grown. The name Oberlin College was adopted in 1850, and in 1889 the Board of Trustees was increased to consist of twenty-five members, the President of the College being ex-officio a member and President of the Board. Four members of the Board are elected every year to serve for six years. Of these, three are elected by the Board itself, and one is elected by a general ballot of the alumni of all departments. In the Board of Trustees is vested the whole government of the college, and it is largely through its excellent judgment and constant efforts that Oberlin has come to be what it is. I-lowever, the policy of the Board has not been one of high-handed management of all college affairs. There has been a steady cooperation between the faculty and the Board, which has resulted in an insti- tution whose standards of education and efficiency of management are among the best in the country. The outstanding action of the Board of Trustees at their annual meeting on November 14, 1919, was the adoption of the recommendation of the President and of the General Faculty, that the salaries of the members of the Faculty be increased fifty per cent to date from September 1, 1919. Plans were also made at this time for a reorganization of the Alumni Association. At the next annual meeting of the Board, on November 12, 1920, a more definite form was given to the plans for the Future Oberlin than has ever before been attempted. At this meeting, President King, in his. annual report, outlined in very definite terms the needs of the College, including endowment, buildings, lands, and plans for a technical school. I-le forecast the natural lines of growth of the college, and has given us a plan, which, if followed out, will make the Oberlin of the Future even a grander school than it is at present. President King saysz. There is no attempt here to provide for a university, but to provide adequately for the finest quality of work in the departments already in existence, to allow for growth in the opportunities offered and in the numbers served, and to suggest one addition- al School. May we live to see this Greater Oberlin blossom forth in all its g ory! . 28 Board of Trustees HENRY CHURCHILL KING, D.D., LL.D., L.H.D., President Term expires january I, Robert E.

I-IARRIET LOUISE KEELER, '70 Died February 12, 1921 An independent student and thinker, alert and active-minded to the endg a persistent advocate of suffrage, a brilliant, stimulating teacher, who built her life into a great host of lives, was Harriet Keeler. In her writing she proved herself a most careful and helpful guide and interpreter, in the study of nature, enlarging many lives at this point. Cleveland showed its faith in her ability as an administrator, in electing her Superintendent of Public Schools in her sixty- sixth year. She was the only woman so honored. A generous friend and sup- porter of the College if 'l' 'l' ' ' ' it would certainly be unfitting that her death should go unnoticed by the College, of which she was so honored a graduate and Trustee. -fpresident King, Chapel Address, February 17, 1921. HUBERT C. HERRING, D.D. Died August 6, 1920 In the sudden death of Dr. Hubert C. Herring the College has lost one of its most loyal and influential friends, and the Board of Trustees one of its wisest and most faithful members. Dr. Herring had not been a member with us long, but for many years his interest had turned in the direction of Gberlin, his sons received their training here, and as a conspicuous leader in all recent important religious movements he counted upon Oberlin's influence and power for good. Dr. Herring's skillful hand had been felt for a generation not only in the development of Congregationalism east and west, but also in the steady rap- prochement of the great Protestant bodies, and his charity, urbanity, wise counsel and personal distinction had carried through many a difficult and notable project of far-reaching value. And he will long be remembered by the churches he served so well, and by the strong men associated with him in the religious progress of the nation, as a true prophet and a modest follower of the Master. 30 , The College Administration for the Year 1920-1921 President-l-lenry Churchill King.

Class of 1921 T IS with true reluctance that the members of the class of 1921 turn their backs on all that college days have meant in friendship, intellectual growth, and hearty recreation. But as the commencement time approaches, there comes a deep realization of the significance of that term: it is indeed just a beginning, a beginning fraught with many possibilities for largeness and richness of life. And it is from Oberlin's doors we go! Who of us does not hold up his head a little higher, face the world a little more squarely and courageously at the thought? These four years have meant so much to each one of us. Perhaps no other student generation has been privileged to see her Alma Mater wearing so many different faces, She has been an army camp, during long, restless months when it was hard merely to stand byg she has been a gala scene of rejoicing and wel- come, as some of her boys came back from sterner duties, with new vigor and resolve. Changes there have been in her student life, indicative of that fine breadth of view which has kept her ever abreast of the times. Standing firmly together through it all, the class of 1921 has profited by each fresh experience, and strengthened the ties of staunch fellowship. Its history shows closely written pages, for its members have been active in every possible phase of college life, contributing in leadership, and gaining in whole-hearted enjoy- ment. I t will be useless to attempt any enumeration of the most notable events, for as we turn the pages so many are underscored in red that it bewilders us. How- ever, long after football games and Proms have faded from our memory, our hearts will glow with that intangible but living fire we like to call the Oberlin Spirit. We are proud of our Alma Mater. We are grateful for the years spent under the loving guidance of her hand. May we be true to her loftiest ideals, carrying her clear vision, her spirit of great-heartedness into whatever we may do! 37 . Senior Class Oflicers Carroll I-l. Browning ........

The Oberlin Chapter, the sixth in Ohio, was organized in 1907. The motto of the Society is Philosophy, the Guide of Life , and from the outset its purpose has been to promote among college students an enthusiasm for knowledge, a passion for learning, a longing to make wisdom the mistress of action and the guide of life. It has thus become the custom in those colleges which are fortunate enough to have chapters of Phi Beta Kappa to elect to membership in this Societas Philosophiaeu only those who have attained high academic distinction. In most of the societies, as at Oberlin, this is the only criterion of choice. Those then who have achieved this honor may well feel that they have been successful in securing the best thing which the College has to offer, for, Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get understand- ing. Exalt her and she shall promotetheeg she shall bring thee to honor when thou hast embraced her. Officers, 1920-1921 Professor Louis E. Lord - - 1 .... President Miss Mary E. Sinclair .....

Here in Gberlin, junior and Senior privileges are practically alike, hence the responsibilities are divided fairly equally. In order to leave the Seniors free for their more personal duties, we have undertaken as our chief contribution of the year, the editing of the college annual. Also, in accordance with this idea, the juniors take upon themselves more of the work on both the Men's and Women's Senate, and in the Women's League. The system of junior Counsellors rather then Senior Counsellors for Freshmen girls, has grown out of the same belief that Senior duties should be lightened. Thus the junior Class has come to fill a place of high importance in the life of the college. In the fall of 1918 the class of 1922 entered Gberlin. The circumstances attending the first months of our college career were unprecedented. Our coun- try had been at war for over a year, and the Government was establishing a Student Army Training Corps in the colleges throughout the nation. Our S.A.T.C. was established with Headquarters at the Mens Building. So the girls had to take entire charge of all college activities. In january regular college life get rlresgmmed since the signing of the Armistice made no further need for the Our Sophomore year saw changes in rules and traditions. It was then that the new regulations regarding smoking and dancing passed the vote of Faculty, Men's and Women's Senates and the student body. We saw the trial of a new phase of activity in Oberlin, one that made college different in some ways but one that did not rob the school of that indefinable Oberlin Spirit . It was for us to help decide whether the trial would prove a success or failure and that responsibility has increased in this our first year as upperclassmen. We hope that next year we may continue to prove worthy of our trust. 63 Franklin K. Mayer President K. Eloise Thurston Vice-President Marian L.

Junior Class Functions The class of 1922, along with its other activities, indulged in such sports as hikes, dances, and class parties. The first of these was on October 9th, when the junior Class entertained the Freshmen with a picnic hike to Black River. The unusual athletic ability of the Class of '24 was brought out in a mock track meet. This was followed by games and lunch. Miss Eldred and Mrs. Hatch chaperoned the party. Then came the annual Thanksgiving party, which took the form of a dance in Warner Gymnasium. Thanksgiving motifs furnished the general scheme for the decorations, and little maidens in Indian and Puritan costumes served refreshments and distributed small turkeys and wish-bones during the favor dance. The features of the intermission were a vocal solo by Philip Frazier, and a solo dance by Kathleen Kinney. The patrons and patronesses were Dean Klingenhagen, Mrs. Hatch, and Professor and Mrs. Ivlack. And then came a hike on the 13th of December. The picture above shows the hikers about to begin on their jaunt down muddy roads, over fences, across fields, and finally to Sherill's, where a delightful supper was served, and gave renewed pep for the journey back to Oberlin. And then of course, there was the prom , but since our book went to print so early in the game, we just couldn't get any information about that! 66 Y 6 7 Detail of Dudley Allen Memorial Art Building 68 FV, ,L -'-1..

Ki t T The Class of 1923 I-IE Class of '23, having passed through its year of apprenticeship, has now taken its proper place in the life of the College. ln athletics and in social activities the Sophomores have taken a vigorous part. They have neglected no opportunity to bring before the authorities in charge their belief that a student should put forth all possible effort to obtain an education in spite of the duties imposed by the curriculum. I .To all varsity squads the Sophomores have contributed and done their best to make the year successful. In inter-class the Sophs have taken the lead by winning the football championship. Several good men were brought to light in the Soph-Frosh Track Meet, which the Sophs won by a little fast work. An innovation introduced during the year by the class of '23 was the forma- tion of the Sophomore Council, a group of girls representing the various boarding houses, and therefore analogous to the Freshman Council, which is already an established organization in the College. lt is hoped that the institution of a Sophomore Council each year will also become permanent as a precedent at Oberlin. The result of the steps taken this year was to unite the women of the class by a body of a size suitable for efficient discussion of problems affecting both the Class and the College. I The class has enjoyed its share of society life, participating light-heartedly in all the social events and helping to make them successful. The Thanksgiving Party and the class hike to Casky's are marked in our calendars of happy times. 69 Francis S. Hutchins President Marian L. Downing Vice-President Charlotta A.

The cordial welcome extended to us by the upperclassmen upon our arrival here, was the first evidence which we received of the real Oberlin Spirit. Our first class meeting was held upon the twenty-seventh of September, 1920. At this time the Sophomores gave us our first taste of class rivalry. By a very cleverly-worked scheme, which involved an extensive advertising campaign, they were 'able to persuade us to elect one of their own members CM. R. Boughtonj as our class president. Upon the discovery of this error, a spirit of antagonism was aroused in us which found its highest expression in the annual tie-up. This traditional contest between the two lower classes was held at Dill Field soon after the beginning of the college term. After a hard-fought battle in the pouring rain, we won with a score of 27-20. From an athletic standpoint, our class has splendid material. A large number reported as candidates for the football team. The season was very successful and an unusual number of yearlings were picked for the inter-class all-star team. The Sophomore-Freshman track meet, an important annual event, was lost by usg however we feel this meet brought to light many good varsity prospects for nextyear. The basketball season was also a credit to our class. We defeated the junior and Senior teams with ease, but it was only after a hard-fought battle that we won from the Sophomores, making us the inter-class champions. Our social committees planned a splendid program to be carried out during the year. Thefirst event was the Thanksgiving party held in the lVlen's Building. Between semesters we had a very enjoyable Sophomore-Freshman party. All of our other social affairs were carried out equally well, and added much to the pleasure of the year. The Freshman Tenth which appeared at the close of the first semester showed that our class was not lacking in intellectual ability. We are glad that we have before us three more years of college life. All of us realize that this year has been a test of ourselves, both as individuals and as a class. We are proud that we have secured for ourselves a firm place in the life of our Alma Mater. May the class of 1924 ever be true to the finest which Gberlin has in store for us. 73 Adelbert B.

During the last sixty years there has been steady growth in all departments, and especially last year there was such a great number of students that the situation was a rather difficult one to meet. The Conservatory was better able-to meet the demands of its students this fall, since the teaching force has been increased, and the situation of a year ago avoided. We are especially fortunate in having Mr. and Mrs. Robert Maitland on the faculty this year. r V One of the most marked developments in the life of the Conservatory recently is the expansion of the theoretical and teachers' training-courses. These courses used to exist primarily for the individual training of players and singers, although the requirements called for harmony and counterpoint also. The recent demand throughout the country for courses in the -history and appreciation of music, the Normal Training department in Children's work, and the Supervisors Training Course in Public School Music, has had its effect upon the Oberlin Conservatory also, and consequently the departments teaching these branches are constantly enlarging their scope and numbers. The need of clearer and better enunciation in vocal work is growing daily, and to meet this need the department of Dramatic Expression was introduced. Courses in French and Italian are taken to broaden the range of the student's selection and appreciation of music. Under Dr. Andrews' direction, the Conservatory Orchestra is coming more and more to the foreground. This year marks the highest point in its career thus far, and the excellent' work done this year leads us to believe that greater results are in store for the next year. ' The excellent work done in the Conservatory this year has shown that Oberlin is entitled to rank among the best schools of Music in the country. May it ever progress, and furnish inspiration and opportunity to those who come within its portals! 79 C. W. Monison If G. Nash Gberlin Conservatory of Music D.

Qlllll sli t... if ii The Graduate School of Theology l-IE average theological school in America has thirty students. Our enroll- ment at Oberlin is usually twice that number, but war and post-war condi- tions have reduced the attendance about half. As our school is on a strictly graduate basis we have been sharing the fate of all graduate schools in this period, except the medical schools which were kept up at full tide by pressure of the war department. Abnormally high wages in business the past two years have drawn thousands of college graduates away from professional study, and few college graduates anywhere entered theological schools last fall for this reason. Present enroll- ment at Presbyterian, Episcopalian and Congregational theological schools shows an average decline of 3071 since a year ago. Q However, this decline is only temporary. With the recent business depression, abnormal wages can no longer be obtained for manual labor, and college men are again more normally choosing their life work in the various professions. The appeal to a life of service is again winning its way with many of the finest men in our colleges and the increasing demand for trained men in the pastorate and the mission field is again finding response. Many letters of inquiry are coming daily to the School of Theology office indicating a sure increase in atten- dance next year. With a reduced supply of ministers there never was so good a time to enter the ministry as now. The product of Oberlin School of Theology is so much in demand, our graduates could be located ten times over and at living salaries. If space allowed we could tell of the splendid work now being done by many of our recent graduates some of whom have won notable success in the home churches and many others in the foreign missionary service. Our theological students the past decade have come from no less than 39 denominations and 159 colleges and universities. With a strong interdenominational faculty and such a broad constituency we have every reason to expect in the future the continued usefulness which has made this school notable among the liberal, high grade pro- fessional schools of America.

At this time five hundred of Oberlin's leading women, desirous of establishing a teachers' training school, organized a kindergarten association and appointed Miss Belle Goodman as the first principal. With the aid of several members of the College faculty whose courses were needed by student teachers, Miss Goodman not only directed the kindergarten children but also conducted a training class of eleven young women, nine of whom were graduated. This was the beginning of the present School whose aim is to train efficient kinder- garten-primary teachers and philanthropic workers. In addition to a number of special teachers, the faculty has grown to seven members who give their entire time to this work. The year 1912 found the School an incorporated institution under the management of a Board of Trustees. Five years later another step was taken when the former kindergarten course gave way to the kindergarten-primary curriculum. Under the present arrangement two courses are available, one of two years and another of three years which includes more extensive study of music and other subjects. During the early years of the life of the School, classes were held in Sunday- School rooms and other places available 3 later, accommodations were found above Tobin's drug store. Finally in 1914 the School moved to its present quar- ters in Goodrich I-louse. Emeline May Cottage on Elm street was opened during the present year as a dormitory, and the Centennial building was acquired by gift of the Mutual Benefit Association. The latter was rebuilt last summer to be used to house a free kindergarten and community center, funds being given by friends in Oberlin and in the Training School. Miss May, the principal, is a kindergartner and graduate of the Dottoressa Montessori Training School of Rome. This School has graduated many missionary, teachers, among them Mrs. Gertrude Chaney Pye, Oberlin College 1910. Mrs. Pye is stationed at F enchow, Shansi, China, where she supervises the two kindergartens supported by students and alumnae of the Training School. Eleven French orphans also are the wards Of the Training School. 93 First Row: Morris, Lieber, Broad, Windisch, Battcnficld, McLaughry, Wager, Barnard, Geiger, Rodgers, Martin, Sitliff, Schcid.

The Mens Senate is composed of twenty men. Its purpose is to help the students realize their common interests and reconcile their conflicting ones, whether in their relation as students, or in their relations to the college and faculty. This body and the Womens Senate serve as the medium of com- munication between the students and the faculty. Meetings are held every two weeks. The Womens League is the womens share in this government. Through its committees it upholds the regulations enacted to develop wholesome social relationships, and to insure quiet and order in the boarding houses. All the women in the institution are members of the Womens League. The deliberative body of the League is the Womens Senate. Boarding house problems and other problems of the life on the campus may be brought up before this body. Any proposed changes in the regulations are discussed here, and if so voted, recommendations are made to the proper authorities. Any change must be approved by the joint Council and by the Faculty before it can go into effect. Meetings of the Senate are held once a month. The l-lonor System is another phase of this Student Government. Any case of dishonesty in daily work, tests or examinations, or laboratory work is reported by students to a member of the Mens or Womens l-Ionor Courts. The members of these courts are chosen by their respective Senates. If a woman is reported, the case comes up before and is judged by the Womens Honor Court g if a man, by the Mens Honor Court. The courts may either administer a reprimand to the person convicted of dishonesty, or make recommendation to the College Faculty for the taking away of credit in the course, suspension, or final dismissal. Student Government in its various phases will be successful so long as it has the loyal support of all the students. . 95 First Row: Phillips, Groves, Love, lviclvienemy, Larsen, Reynolds, Church, Whitney, Norton, Park.

The Women,s Senate The Womens League, of which all the women of Oberlin College are mem- bers, is the student part of the co-operative system of government. Its purpose is to promote all the interests of the College, and to bring about a greater feeling of individual responsibility on the part of the students. The work is divided into four sub-organizations, the Senate, the Legislative Body, the joint Council, the Discipline Body, composed of faculty and students 5 the Honor Court, which deals with the Honor System, and the Executive Board. The Senate offers unusual opportunity for the free discussion of all student problems. Its membership consists ofthe chairmen of the various committees of the League, the vice-presidents of the four classes, house presidents, and the heads of other important student organizations.

The house govern- ment committee, one of the most important committees of the League, has charge of all house regulations and their violations. The Womens League forms the foundation for all student activities, requiring therefore the co-operation of all the students. 97 l .M McLaughlin Mattson Newsom Metcalf Browning Will Hutchins Adams Lansdale Mayer Fifield Sullivan Bunker Hahn Keep Winters jameson The Men,s Senate . The original draft of the constitution of the Mens Senate states in the preamble that the senate is an organization to promote better relationships between the faculty and men of the college. The purpose of the body in its beginning was to serve as a representative organization for the men, particu- larly to centralize the feeling of the men and to work with the faculty for better conditions among the men. F rom a body founded with these ideals, the senate has broadened its scope until it now stands as the main legislative body for the men, an organization in which most student moves are inaugurated and in which the sentiment of the men is concentrated into action. The organization of the senate is such that it is directly representative of the men of the four classes and of the leading organizations on the campus as. well. There are ten elected senators and ten who are members of the body ex- officio. The term of office of the elected senators varies from one year to three years. In a single year the Freshman class has one representative, the Sopho- more class two, the Junior class three, and the Senior class four. In addition the four class presidents serve as ex-officio members of the senate.The president of the Y. lvl. C. A., the president of the Associated students, the president of the Varsity O club, the cheer-leader, and the editor-in-chief and managing editor of the Oberlin Review, are other men who automatically hold seats in the senate. During the period of change in legislation in the college the senate took the initiative for the men, in expressing their desire for reform. Now that the major changes have been put through the senate has settled down to a normal routine of business. The main functions of the men of the school are under the control of the body. The senate fosters the traditions among the men. Such affairs as 98 the tie-up and the football banquet are matters of the-regular business of the senate. Supervision over class elections and pay days is also exerted by the senate. One of the branches of the Men's Senate is the Men's Honor Court, which is the tribunal for the honor system. The court is chosen by the senate each year. The president of the senate always acts in the capacity of chairman of the court. A new side issue of the senate was established in the Spring of 1920, known as the Court of Seven. This committee of six Seniors and one junior was organized to secure a compliance with the men's traditions. The court has not been in existence for a sufficient length of time to permit a passing of judgment on its success or failure. A group of this kind is certainly needed, but whether the court as at present organized will be satisfactory is a question not yet settled. How long the Men's Senate will continue in its present position of almost unlimited control on the campus is uncertain. As long as the men of the college are willing to allow the senate to go on unmolested in its activity, it will hold sway in the autocratic way in which it has during the last student generation. Probably it is best that the senate should operate as it has as long as the men are satisfied. But there are a great many questions which the senate is forced to settle which should be considered by all of the men of the college. Three years ago it was prophesied that a men's union would soon be organized in Oberlin. But the calls for united action by the men in the last two years have not received a hearty response from the men. Apparently they are content to have the senate in complete control of the men's activities and questions and so long as it has this power it will be a ruling body on the campus of ever increasing power and importance.

There are sixty counsellors, chosen by the women of the Junior class, from a list approved by the Dean of Women. Each counsellor is assigned three or four new girls. I-Ier duty is to introduce these girls to the best that college life has to offer. A tremendous task? Indeed it is. The upperclasswoman must take herself back to the first few home-sick, estranged days of her own Freshman year in order to appreciate fully Freshman psychology. The new girls must be made to feel at home, to feel that they are proud of the college life, and not unwelcome interlopers. They must be made to realize that counsellors are appointed for a purpose, and that purpose is to help them, insofar as they are able, in matters of little consequence as well as in questions of real import. Aside from individual attentions, this institution tries to establish a sister- hood between the classes, Freshman and Junior, Sophomore and Senior. The Juniors have had the privilege of counsellorship for only three years. It was found wise to transfer this responsibility from the Seniors to the Juniors for various reasons. In the first place, it benefits the Juniors in giving them a taste of responsibility. In the second place, it enables the Senior and Sophomore class to be friends for two years. In the third place, it lightens the burdens of the Seniors. The Freshman Council, organized by the chairman of the Junior Counsellors, is an efficient department of the counsellorship. One Freshman representative is elected from each of the boarding houses. At the meeting questions of rules, tradition, etiquette are discussed with a view to clarifying vague ideas the new girls may entertain upon certain problems of college life. The council aims, first, to engender a spirit of class feeling among the new students, second, to bring together members of remote houses, third, to make heard, through this organi- zation, the voice of the Freshmen in the Women's Senate.

The social and business activities of Conservatory Women are in its charge, besides free co-operation with Dean Nash, when planning or attending to any important matters. The board also has the power of appointing the junior and Senior counsellors. Some of the social functions of the conservatory which it plans and manages are the annual Proms, held in the Art Building. Including as it does all the chief officers, the Womens Board is the highest student organization of the Conservatory. There are nine members, including the presidents of the four classes, the chairman of the Conservatory Counsellors, of the Campus Etiquette, Vocational Committees, with the representatives of the Y. W. C. A. and the Senior class. Thus the activities of the women, which otherwise would be scattered and less effective, are strengthened and unified. Officers Margaret Page - ......

Although it has at no time since its adoption fulfilled its mission to its fullest extent, it has been, without doubt, a means of better understanding between the upperclassmen and the Freshmen, and between the Freshmen and their Alma Mater. The plan is really similar to any Big Brother plan. Some forty of the Senior men each receive the names of four Freshmen, their future little brothers, and get in touch with them as soon as possible after they arrive in Oberlin. There are many times in the first few weeks of college life when a little tip by a friendly Senior is appreciated almost as much as the suggestion of a bloodthirsty Sopho- more. The aim of the Senior Counsellor is to make the Frosh get the right attitude and the right start. Having been through the mill himself he can give advice when needed as well as be a real friend while friends are yet scarce. At the times when the plan has not been most successful the fault has not been that of the Freshmen but of the Seniors. While they have taken an interest in the Freshmen at first when the need was greatest, the chronic lack of time has Hnally, in some cases, made the advisor too lax in his attentions, and the Fresh- man has had to forego one of his privileges-for he looks at this friendship as a privilege, and so much so that we of '21 envy you juniors and Sophs your chance in the days to come, to get behind and watch 'em grow. 102 -1 il:--4 1 'us nu ' VII fizifaz. za-:is :ai-ii-.11l'? iw, .A if . -' 5:22 :U iihiiif--.-:i:.,,-, --.- . 114 'I i l l - -:1f4ff1a'iQ1t. i N 1 ... f il s i i r, - , --.

True to this spirit of tolerance Oberlin makes no distinction in nationality, in class, nor in religious belief, but carries out in daily living its high ideal of democracy. Added to this quality of open-mindedness there is the spirit of brotherli- ness, a genuine feeling of comradeship, recognizing the need of fellowship based neither on selfishness nor superficial values, but on deep and lasting respect for personality. There is another element entering into the religious atmosphere of Oberlin and that is the spirit of service. The college seems not only a place to prepare for usefulness in later life, but also a place to serve day by day, to share with one's fellows one's best self and his very joy in living. It is a consciousness of the Divine in all and of a divine purpose, the attempt to make our lives har- monize and unite to carry out that purpose. A spirit of simplicity and a spirit of sincerity also permeates Oberlin life as it goes forward ever true to its ideals. A significant fact about Oberlin is that church attendance is non-compulsory. This gives a freedom of choice and creates a greater desire for church-going than if attendance were required. It gives one a chance to choose from among the various services those which will be of the most value to him. The qualities that make the religious atmosphere of Oberlin what it is have been made possible, and have at the same time been enhanced by four student organizations. These are the Young Women's Christian Association, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Student Volunteer Band, and the Shansi Board. In co-operating and working together in these organizations and facing the problems which they must solve each student gains a broader viewpoint and a greater understanding of those with whom he comes in contact. It is in this way that these organizations help to influence and contribute to the whole religious atmosphere of the college. 103 Houscman Will Bent Bartter Hutchinson Bartlett Winters Winslow Keep Hcrbcrts McLaughlin Bailcy Williams Wheeler Partch Mattson Crosscn Young lVlen's Christian Association The Y. M. C. A. is the one all men's organization on the campus, and as such, has been taking an important part in the religious and social life of the men. The aims of the association are several: First-To promote Oberlin spirit and to bring about a feeling of greater solidarity and friendship among the men, Second-To keep the moral atmosphere of the campus up to the high plane, which we have inherited from past student generations, Third-To take a definite constructive Christian attitude on all campus questions. The cabinet works quietly. They are not a showy bunch Csee above picturejg on the contrary, they believe in the hard work, silent tongue method of getting results. But here are some of the things they do: Teach English to Creeks, Hun- garians, Bolsheviks, Ukrainians, Germans, French, Swedes, etc., etc., etc., in our neighboring 100 per cent city, send deputation teams to work with the boys in many Ohio villages, provide through discussion groups, an opportunity for independent thinking and expression to many students, run an efficient em- ployment bureau Qover 351500 worth of jobs given out to students during the past yearDg publish the O book 5 and many other things, not least of which is the putting on of stags, but most important of which is, perhaps, the con- ducting of the Sunday evening meetings. Through this source, the Y. M. C. A. comes into closer contact with the average student than in any other way. And so the aim of this department has been to bring to Oberlin men who are competent to speak on questions which the cabinet believes ought to be presented to them. In accordance with that policy, the meetings have been varied, practical, and highly instructive. A business man, a railway president, a president of a railway labor organization, a minister, a professor, a college president, a doctor, a lawyer, and many other types have been included among those who have taken the platform this year. I04 And the men are reacting to the speakersg criticizing, talking, and thinking. Truly a progressive sign. An organization must progress or it will die of stagnation. What other progress has the Y. M. C. A. made this year? BrieHy, considerable. The financial policy has been put on a sound basis through the Student Chest. A defunct advisory board has been given the pink slip. Probably most important of all, arrangements have been made for a permanent secretary, whose job will be to be a real friend and religious advisor to all the men on the campus. We, of the present cabinet, cherish the hope that the organization may continue to be a real elevating force in the life of Oberlin men. Officers Raymond T. Moyer .... - - - President A.

Young Women's Christian Association This has been a most significant year in the life of our Young Women's Christian Association. It has seen the inauguration of the new membership basis whereby church membership is no longer required for active participa- tion in our Y. W. C. A. Each of our eight hundred members in joining took a personal pledge of loyalty as a true Christian to our Y. W. C. A. purpose. We feel that this new basis of membership has brought increased interest and support from the students. We have had a large attendance at our Sunday night meetings in Warner I-lall through the entire year. They have been of varied type, both educational and inspirational, usually having an outside speaker or a member of the faculty bring us a message of work to be done at home and abroad. A series of industrial meetings in the Fall gave us insight into the needs of our sisters in the industry and the consequent challenge to us. Meetings led by the various college classes have proved highly successful. A greater opportunity for open discussion of our campus problems was afforded by the informal group meetings held in the boarding houses during the Winter. The Christian Associations have co-operated in promoting the spirit of friendliness by various social affairs held under their auspices. Campus Night was instituted as an all-college picnic on the campus. On Society Night an illustrated history of Oberlin was presented. At that time, too, a loving cup for the best singing of an Oberlin song was won by Lord Cottage. At our Student Conference at Eaglesmere in june, the Oberlin delegation won the silver cup for the best original conference song. Our association is attempting to extend hospitality to new students and to the foreign students on our campus. In work at the Childrens I-lome, in the girls' clubs, in the schools and in many other lines we are trying to live and to encourage the true spirit of service. ' 106 The success of this year has been due to the fine enthusiasm of the girls who have served in all the departments. The Y Captains in the boarding houses have kept the cabinet in touch with the whole school and have given the organization their loyal support. Our general secretary by her untiring effort helps to keep us at our best and promotes the work as a whole as well as in detail. The Advisory ladies by their valuable suggestions and encouragement make it a great pleasure to be associated with them. We feel that the Y. W. C. A. has been a very vital force for more Christian living both on the campus and in the community, and we confidently expect even greater success for it in the future. Oflicers Marian E.

Student Volunteer Band Campus interest in international life finds special expression in this group of students, which, as part of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Mis- sions, comprises those who purpose to enter Christian work abroad. The aim of the organization, therefore, is the enlisting of other sudents for this type of life-work and the educational and spiritual enrichment of the Volunteers themselves preparatory to their service. With this double end in view, meetings are held every Sunday morning, a brief devotional session, particularly for the members, preceding the open meeting of a 'more educational nature. Returned missionaries have portrayed conditions and needs in their fields. Professors have discussed questions of interest, and the students themselves participated in a debate on I-Iinduism versus Christianity.. The membership of the organization doubled from twenty-five to fifty in the first semester, and by the end of the year further increase is probable. A significant factor in recruiting is the annual conference of the Northern Ohio Student Volunteer Union which was held this Spring at Heidelberg, and at which Gberlin was represented by a large delegation. Oberlins contribution to the foreign field has been so notable, as one among American colleges, that the present generation of Oberlin Student Volunteers has a rich heritage to be worthy of. Their responsibility, however, is not alone to Alma Mater, but to the entire world in so far as it needs unselfish Christian service. OH'icers Robert M. Bartlett ....... President Grace M.

To the Freshmen, this word may mean little, but to the old students, faculty and alumni it has great significance. They realize that our work in Shansi, like that of Yale, Princeton and other educational institutions, is an endeavor to help the Orient through education to realize its own possibilities. Through our work in this province which is one of the oldest and richest in China, we are trying to share with these Chinese students our Oberlin spirit and ideals. ln order to make this contact as real as possible, each year we are sending an Oberlin student to Shansi. Full of the spirit of his Alma Mater, he helps give these students our true spirit as well as assisting with the teaching and college activities. I-le returns to us with enthusiasm and fresh messages of our work there. Louis Davis, ex. '19, was our student representative two years ago, john Davis '18, last year, and Leonard Peabody this year. President King is president of the Oberlin Shansi Memorial Association, Mr. Bohn executive secretary, and Mr. Thurston executive treasurer. The board includes one men's representative and one women's representative, who are elected by the student body on the annual Shansi Day, and one member from each class. This board tries to keep Shansi before the eyes of the student bodyg it endeavors to make them realize that Shansi is a live, wide awake, modern institution. The other duty of the board is to raise money each year to help carry on this work. Until last year, this money was raised from the student body on Shansi Day, which is the day following the Day of Prayer. The last two years, however, the board has co-operated with the Student Chest. This year our budget in the chest was ilS5,000. Letters are also sent to the alumni so that they, too, may still have a share in helping to support the work. We hope to raise an equal amount from them. lO9 Although no pledges are asked on Shansi Day under the present system, it is still a red letter day in the college calendar. The reports of the association are given, the men's representative and the women's representative elected, and a talk given by some one who has been connected with Shansi or knows of our work there. All the efforts of the committee, aside from the financial aspect, are centered in making this day as memorable as possible. The educational work in the Province of Shansi was begun in 1879, by a group of Oberlin people. Although it was destroyed by the Boxer Uprising in 1900, the seeds which these martyrs sowed sprang up and soon the work was taken up with more enthusiasm than ever. Since this time it has grown steadily and rapidly. Although no work beyond the first two years of college and no work for girls is offered now, we hope to have four years of college and a girls' school before many years. The standard maintained is very high. Our academy and college graduates are admitted without examinations to the North China Government University. Mr. Kung '06, the president, a man from the finest of Chinese families, is a very broad minded influential man in his country. I-Ie is constantly refusing promising positions because his heart and soul are in his work in Shansi. We are very fortunate to have a man of such caliber and ability. Education is China's greatest need. Oberlin is trying to establish not an American college in China, but a Chinese college which will produce capable leaders in China. We are trying to help them to help themselves. With such a wonderful man as Mr. Kung to head the work, an enthusiastic student represen- tative to represent us each year, a student committee which helps to make the work more tangible, and a responsive student body, what wonders we can accomplish. Our opportunity is unlimited. Let us hope that each year we shall seize it more fully and thus help these neighbors of ours, by sharing with them our wonderful Oberlin spirit, ideals, and enthusiasms, to have the advantages of a Christian education. 110 6523 ff El f 'sierra ff Q53 .. :i:1I'ZI:. l Ji .

The Women's Literary Societies, the U. L. A. Lecture Course, Review, Oberlin College Magazine and I-li-O-I-ii, all have made their strong and valuable contributions. There have been some rather important changes made in the general functioning of the literary organizations, however. In the first place, the old organization of the Union Library Association was completely reorganized into the present organization, The Associated Students of Oberlin College. This change had been felt necessary for some time and was the result of the discontinuation of the distinctly men's literary interests of the student body. More is said of the aims and causes of this organization in the paragraph devoted to it. The U. L. A. Lecture Course continued the record of excellence formerly upheld by it. Under its auspices Oberlin has the opportunity to hear lecturers of note on many different subjects and from many different lands. An English writer and authority on international politics, Norman Angell, an American scientist and explorer, Roy Chapman Andrews, an Irish story teller and writer, Seumas Mclvlanusg and a dramatic reader, Elizabeth Pooler Rice, made up the year's program. Debate, revived last year, has not continued to show the promise which it held then. Though victorious in the first home debate on an interesting question, debate has not attracted the support which it deserves. It is unfortunate that the time at which the debate was held came in competition with a number of other attractions which lowered the momentary interest. The question as to whether debate is to have a place in the literary life of the College has been raised by the financial failure of it during the present year, but has not been settled yet. The various departments of the College have also contributed to the literary life of the campus. Through ,departmental plays, dramatic recitals, and the introduction of outside talent, opportunity has been given to all to share in the larger modern movements of the literary world. lll V Hahn Lansdale Bent McLaughlin Clark E. Bunker K. Bunker Wilder Graber Mayer Norton Pratt Herberts The Associated Students of Oberlin College The Associated Students of Oberlin College, incorporated, is the successor to the old organization known variously as the U. L. A., the Union Library Association, and the Union Literary Association. The cause of the change was the discontinuance of the Men's Literary Society, and the insufnciency of the old organization to meet the needs of new conditions. It had been increasingly borne in upon members of the Association that a change was necessary to adapt the old methods to the new aims and needs. As a result the present organization while continuing to carry on the functions of the old, has in it the pro- vision for increasing the scope of its activities and doing them more effectively. Through all the reorganization, the various forms of Student Unions in the colleges and universities throughout the United States have been kept in mind and the constitution has been modeled to provide for growth. The hope of those interested is that Oberlin may eventually have a united student body, organized in such a way that the student activities, which can best be con- trolled by some such central organization, will unite to eliminate waste and to promote effectiveness in serving the various needs of students here. The past year has been one of consolidation-the future should see an extended control beyond the present organizations of the Review, the U. L. A. Lecture Course, the Oberlin College Magazine, and Debate. Officers Kenneth C. Bunker - - - ,... President Margaret Wilder - - - - - Vice-President R. J.

Applications for membership came in fast and the society this year has had to mourn the lack of places in the society rather than the lack of girls to fill them. This is due to the return to normal after the unfortunate condi- tions of the war period. - The work of the year centered about the Psychology to the Modern Drama. There has been an earnest inquiry into the causes for the productions of such plays as The King of the Dark Chamber and Great Galeatof' The extempore problem was met in a variety of interesting ways-discussions, debates, and an occasional meeting given over entirely to its cause. Parliamentary drill and bona fide debates were introduced at appropriate times. The attractiveness of the society headquarters, redecorated and beautified by loyal alumni, has been conducive to an abundant and highly satisfactory social aspect. It has been the pleasure of the society to have its full quota of social functions. The entire year has been marked by a high degree of interest and enthusiasm.

While there has been no opportunity for detailed study, in each case we have attempted to learn the main facts about the dramatist's life and work with a more intimate study of one of the more important of his plays. We have written no papers, but have given talks and reports. Our reason for this is two-fold. In the first place, we feel that throughout the college course, from the first class in Freshman composition to the last seminar of the Senior year, the student has plenty of practice in writing papers. In the second place, we see the increas- ing demand for the woman' who can speak in public and the resulting need for practice in that work. As a further aid in this direction we have laid emphasis on the time-honored extemporaneous speech and extemporaneous debate. We have also had practice in parliamentary drill in which we have discussed and decided many momentous questions. We are especially happy over the renovation of our society room. We earned our curtains, ourselves, by means of a benefit movie. The most of the work, however, was done by our alumnae and we are very grateful to them. In partic- ular, we wish to express our appreciation to Miss Swift, our alumnae association president, for her great interest and help. Officers Alice Child ............

Phi Alpha Phi Phi Alpha Phi has had a red letter year. The membership limit was soon reached and every member of the society worked with enthusiasm and with the desire to make this year count more than any of the preceding years. The opera was the Vast and extensive subject of study during the year, and it proved intensely fascinating and instructive to each member. To Mr. Dickin- son, who gave us several programs of those operas which were included in our course of study, we owe a debt of gratitude for his kindly interest in our work and his helpful suggestions in planning our programs for the year. Nor was this all that was included in the society's plans for the year. Phi Alpha Phi has always considered the social side of man's nature as a necessary part of his development, and hence this phase was given play in several meetings where parliamentary drill was forgotten. We regret to see this year pass, but we hope we have carried on the ideal of mental wakefulnessn and good fellowship that was established by the founders of the society, and that those members following in our footsteps will be as inspired by the power of deep friendships and mutual interest as were the members of Phi Alpha Phi of the year 1921.

It is this appreciation of the value of such work that we are en- deavoring to justify and to stimulate in our organization. The field of the year's study has been the broad realm of modern literature, dealing with present tendencies and with different points of view of recent writers. Contributions to the programs have been made not only by the members themselves through roll call quotations, extempores, debates and talks on specific books, but also by outside speakers. We were glad to have Miss Slaven of the Library staff, give a most interesting talk regarding new books, and, in depart- ing temporarily from modern literature, we were particularly fortunate to have Professor Edwards read Julius Caesar before a large open meeting. lWith much inspiring co-operation on the part of friends outside the Society and with the enthusiastic support of all the members themselves, Sigma Gamma seems assured of an increasingly successful future.

For twenty- flve years Oberlin has been a member of the Ohio Intercollegiate Debating League which is composed of Ohio Wesleyan University, Western Reserve University and Oberlin College. The beginning of the debating season saw so much interest manifested in forensics that it was found advisable to enter into a second debating triangle composed of the College of Wooster, Heidelberg University and Oberlin College. The Oberlin-Wesleyan-Reserve debates were held on january Zlst. The question debated was: Resolved, That the Federal Government should own and operate the coal mines of the United States. Constitutionality waived. Oberlin proposed the question and the choice of sides was made by Western Reserve. Owing to the recent coal shortages and the congressional inquiries and investigations during the past Winter, the question was not only a very timely one, but a good proposition for intercollegiate forensics. The Oberlin affirmative team met the Weseylan negative at Delaware while the negative team met Reserves affirmative on the home floor. The Delaware debate was lost to Ohio Wesleyan while the home dlebate was won by a split decision. It was a unique and striking fact that in all three of the contests, the affirmative teams lost and the negatives won, resulting in each school having one winning and one losing team. Both Oberlin teams put up a good stiff fight on the question and are to be commended on the outcome of the clash. It is to be hoped that Oberlin debaters may have the opportunity to participate in future debates to such an extent that they too may have acquired the merited appellation veteran which so aptly applies to O. W. U. men. ll7 Widener Dewey Wilson Wheeler Benton Adams Lahman Powell Prof . Edwards Professor Davis Edwards coached the triangular debates for the Hrst semester, and is to be congratulated on the splendid work he has done. The renewed activity and interest in debate is due in a large measure to his untiring efforts. At the end of the first semester Professor Edwards went to the University of Wisconsin to complete his post graduate work. I-Ie will come back to Oberlin next fall full of new energy and enthusiasm for debate work. Professor Edwards' absence during the second semester left the varsity debaters without a coach for the Oberlin-Wooster-Heidelberg triangle, and Mr. Chester Dunham of the Graduate School of Theology was secured to fill the position. Mr. Dunham is a graduate of the University of Chicago and had con- siderable training and experience in debating while in school there. The question to be debated in the Oberlin-Wooster-Heidelberg triangle was: Resolved, That England should grant the absolute independence of Ireland. The Oberlin affirmative team meets the Wooster negative on the home floor and the negative meets I-Ieidelberg's affirmative at Tiffin. Because of the acute political situation between England and Ireland the question was a very appro- priate one and much interest was manifested in it. At the time that this article goes to press these triangular debates have not come to an issue, but it may be predicted, after observing the good work done by Mr. Dunham and the teams when they meet for practice, that they stand an excellent chance to win both contests. The splendid work done by both of the debate coaches and the teams insures a permanent place for intercollegiate forensics in the future. 118 Kaserman Hyde Baumhart I-label Dawson Pauley Hahn Clark Lansdale Zachry McPeck Hanawalt: Ballintine Van Raalte Williams The Oberlin Review Founded in April, 1874, the Oberlin Review, the college newspaper published semi-weekly, has developed from the small magazine-size bi-weekly into the present five column newspaper, and, if present progress continues, the college classes not many years from now will find the Review enlarged into an eight column paper carrying the latest telegraph news from all over the world. Why is there a Review? Chiefly, the answer comes, because college students are human. People are interested in themselves, and the newspaper offers the most practical means of centralized collecting and uniform dissemination of the chief facts concerning what is going on in the college, or what is happening else- where which affects the college and student body. I n addition to presenting news of the chief events in the college life accurately and concisely, the Review follows a well-defined editorial policy of stimulating interest in the worth-while movements and attractions which have been or should be placed before the students. An effort is made to interpret the deeper significance of current affairs. One of the special features which the Review offered this year was a series of vocational articles written by representative members of the alumni in various occupations. This was an attempt on the part of the editors to put cross-section and birdseye views of remunerative vocations by experienced authorities before the undergraduate body. In charge of the 1920-21 Review were: Robert T. Lansdale, '21 - ...... Editor Max I-lahn, '22 .... - Managing Editor Wilson J. Clark, '21 ....

But it was fun to grumble about how hard it was to arrange pictures on the snap-shot pages, or to get inspiration or something to that effect for a write-up, or figure out just what to do with certain space reserved in the nice old dummy for an organization which had breathed its last, and was peacefully reposing in the depths of 0berlin's sacred dust. Yet it is with amusement that we look back on those weary days, even though it was a serious proposition at the time. We wonder, but sincerely hope that all the perusers of this Nine-teen-two-two I-li-O- Hi will appreciate in even an infinitesimal degree just how much of the latter part of the little motto on the Oberlin Seal was put into this book. Cn the other hand, we really feel that some of the Learning had its place also, since we had every opportunity to learn, and we complete the work with a certain sense of satisfaction and of joy. We, the staff of the 1922 I-li-O-I-Ii, present the result of our united efforts, hoping that it will please all who see it, and hoping also that it will truly fill its purpose of being the best memory book of this year and its events.

Well, I guess! A better company never lived. They battled the exams, the wintry storms, and the protests of their comrades, and steadily pushed on for the cause of the 1922 I-Ii-O-1-Ii. A real honest-to-goodness group of enthusiastic workers who have the best interests of the school at heart and who have sacrificed many a good time in order that their Alma Mater might have an annual worthy of representing Oberlin. They began their good work by enticing Iona to come play with them. With her assistance and by means of her pranks they aroused the curiosity of the natives and sojourners of Oberlin in such a way that the 1922 1-li-O-1-li became known to all. Taking advantage of this curiosity and with untiring efforts, the diligent workers went after subscriptions. Needless to say that with such a bevy of girls, the subscriptions came fast and furious. But alas! Their work did not end with the enlisting of subscriptions. They were called upon for informa- tion regarding their boarding houses and other details too numerous to mention. Many a problem was met and solved through their assistance. This group furnished what might be called the connecting link between the student body and the Board of Management. No one realizes the details in- volved, and what is demanded, unless it be the Board of Management, and it is only with the co-operation of this group that the annual is made possible. Should you grant this annual a success, we want you to know who helped to make it so, and to whom the credit should go. We want to enlist your support and invite you to join us in reminding this group that it is indeed not a thankless job. We also want you to know that you have had the services of the most representative women in the school and we know that you will join us when we shout: 1-lats off, ladies and gentlemen-to this loyal patriotic group of workers. 121 Graber Newsom McLaughlin Warner Wa rd St iles Goodell Davies The Oberlin College Magazine The change of name from the Oberlin Literary Magazine to the Oberlin College Magazine was made with the intention of emphasizing the widened scope of college interest upon which this year's staff had decided for the publication. The purpose of the magazine has always been to offer an opportunity for those who feel the urge of the creative instinct to see themselves in print and to allow the rest of the student body to read what is being done in the way of original writing. Short stories, poems, essays, and general articles make up the bulk of each issue. While the literary standard has been kept as high as in previous years, it was felt that some attention might well be paid to those interests that are in fields other than that of the fountain pen. With this in mind a depart- ment devoted to humor was added, and each issue now contains a section made up of the best wit that can be found at home and abroad. There is also a monthly article on some phase of the athletic situation at Oberlin. p One of the most important changes was in the cover design, which had formerly remained uniform throughout the entire year. Miss Helen Davies became a member of the staff as art editor, and she has provided each number with a special cover expressive of the spirit of the season. Her fine work has done much to increase interest in the magazine, as well as to add to its attractiveness. The support of the Oberlin College Magazine has been most gratifying. After an extensive campaign in the fall, the subscription list passed all previous records with over five hundred fifty paid subscribers. It can only be hoped that the publication will continue to hold its place on the campus as a definite part of the college activities. 122 The Staff J. Stanton McLaughlin - h .......... .....

ArtEdi!0f E. Earle Newsom - - - - - Wit and Humor The Oberlin Alumni Magazine The Oberlin Alumni Magazine is in its seventeenth year. It was established by a group of men and women at the college seat who formed for the purpose a stock corporation under the laws of Ohio. Though the project was started thus nominally as a private undertaking, its founders had no other intention than to make it a spokesman for the whole alumni body. The original purpose has been studiously maintained. By the terms of the constitution of the new general alumni association, adopted at Oberlin last June, the Alumni Magazine is to become the official bulletin and publication of the association. General direction of the magazine will be one of the duties of the executive secretary, who is yet to be selected when this is written. Though the alumni association came into nominal existence at the last Com- mencement, it was found that it could not begin to function properly before the fall of 1921. During the present year, therefore, it was deemed wise to con- tinue the Alumni Magazine under its former management. The magazine should make its appearance as the official bulletin and publication at the opening of the collegiate year next fall. Several manifest advantages are anticipated when the association becomes sponsor for the publication. The magazine will have a larger clientele. It should be able to speak with greater authority. At the same time we hope it may main- tain its present spirit of independence and be willing to express unpleasant opinions, if necessary, as well as pleasant ones. It has been our opinion from the first that the function of the Alumni Maga- zine was to serve as an avenue of helpful communication between alumni and college and between college and alumni, as an interpreter of each to the other, as an organ of alumni news and opinion, as something of a gossip but never a scold, as an Oberlin booster always but never an apologist, as a reflection of glisimfii activities and alumni aspirations for a gradually better and greater er in. We do not believe this creed of the Oberlin Alumni Magazine will be seriously altered when the publication comes under the control of the alumni association. ALBERT H. SHAW, Editor-in-Chief. 123 124 T Clubs BERLIN CLUBS. They are not the Cyclopean kind, huge and jagged and uncouth. Rather they are small and numerous and fulfill many purposes. None of them are purely social functions as sororities and fraternities are, but all of them further friendships, and mutual interest, along with useful knowledge. Some of the clubs emphasize utility more than others. The French Club is one of these, since often the conversation is all in French. Other clubs are strikingly Gberlin-like, because they show our cosmopolitan nature. In this class would come the Cosmopolitan Club and the Chinese Club, both of which are to promote friendly relations with foreign students. And there is the Menorah Society, which is made up of Jewish people and Gentiles, who together study jewish literature. The most recent and vivacious clubs are the two Liberal Clubs, one of men onlyand the other made up of girls. These clubs have been organized in the last two years to create a new interest in questions that come up before the public eye, national questions and international questions. It is well to have such clubs, which stimulate interest in things of importance in an outside world, while we peruse the pages of ancient history and travel far into the realm of the ideal. So it is the aim of the Liberal Clubs to link us to the happenings of the world into which we soon are thrust. Thus, the various clubs undertake their various aims. But how different a club is from a class. They offer so much greater chance for mutual friendships and lively arguments. Students become better acquainted with fellow students, form new and broader relationships with professors who may receive inspiration in the unfolding of young minds. Therefore clubs are a great benefit to all who participate. 125 First Row: Church, Green, gohnson, Williams, Bogcden, Lions, Newcomb, Stewart, Hurd, Cleveland, Dinwiddie, McBurty, ruce, Baker, Smith, hmucker, Downing, Second Row: Steer, Sill, Bates, Lazenby, Tassart, Simpson, Babione, amb, Coates, Griffith, Earle.

The French Club The members of the Cercle Francaise have found the weekly meetings of the club more interesting this year than ever before. Programs of singing and games have been varied with special music appropriate to the club and also several short plays. These plays were, in part, the tryouts for the cast of the big play presented in the Spring. Other special features were the annual Christ- mas program, proceeds of which went to French war orphans, lectures by Dr. E. B. cle Sauze, of Cleveland, and plays given by M. Emile Villemin of New York and his company. The membership this year is greater than ever before. Some forty members attend regularly and many others show intermittent interest. A Officers Prof. R.

The Oberlin Cosmopolitan Club Starting out in the Fall with the slogan One hundred per cent enrollment of all foreign students the Cosmopolitan Club has had a very successful year. Its membership numbers about eighty, two-thirds of whom are foreign students,- representing some dozen different countries-China, japan, Korea, India, I-Iawaii, Russia, Italy, Greece, Armenia, South Africa, Hungary, Austria, Eng- land, East India, Canada, Bulgaria and France. By means of social meetings, hikes, parties, lectures and discussions the club has helped to develop that spirit of friendship and better understanding between individuals and between nations toward which the international Association of Corda Fratres looks with its motto: Above all nations is humanity. The one big annual public affair put on by the club is International Night. The Chapel is always packed for this event. Next year the various chapters of Corda Fratres will be in closer connection than ever before, for they expect to have a permanent field secretary to direct the work as a whole. With a live bunch of members and with big plans for the future, it is hoped to make the Oberlin Cosmopolitan Club mean even more in the life of the College, and the lives of foreign and American members next year than it has during the fourteen years that have passed since the local chapter was organized. The club offers to the students of Oberlin College an ideal opportunity to inspire the future leaders of the world who are in training at American Universities, and if we Americans have idealsworthlpromoting they are but idle dreams lest we promote them. The trail is blazed ahead by the experience of I-Iistory and Oberlin will follow the trail. 127 First Row: Young, Wong, Lung, Ma, Liew. Second Row: Leon, Cheng, Woo, Shen, Louis, Mui.

The Chinese Students' Club The Oberlin Chinese Students' Club, organized in October, 1914, is of vital interest and importance to its members. It is one of the many connecting links of the Chinese Students' Alliance in North America, together with which we endeavor to work for the welfare of the Chinese Republic at home and abroad, to promote friendship, and to stimulate the common interests of the Chinese Students in this country. The membership at present numbers thirty, eleven of whom are young women. Twelve different provinces are represented. Our club holds regular monthly business meetings, which are usually followed by a social hour. Another feature of our organization is the weekly Sunday afternoon meetings in which we discuss the various vital problems concerning our beloved country and her citizens. The members take turns in leading the discussions, and occasionally we are fortunate in having outside speakers who give us much enlightenment on current questions.

Temkin Goldstein The Menorah Society Contrary to general belief, the Menorah Society is not a religious organiza- tion. It is fundamentally a literary society, with a definite field of study. It was organized at Harvard College, in 1907, by a band of students, both Gentile and jewish, for the advancement and study of jewish ideals and culture, found in politics, literature, and the arts. The movement spread to other colleges and universities, until now there are nearly one hundred such societies organized into the Intercollegiate Menorah Society, with headquarters in New York City. The Oberlin branch was started in the Spring of 1918, with about six members. Not much work was accomplished that year, but Rabbi Wolsey, of Cleveland, was invited to speak, and enthusiasm ran high. From year to year new members have joined, and the work improved until now we feel that the society stands firmly on its feet. This year the society has heard excellent papers by its members on jewish reconstruction, as well as current events. Professor I-I. A. Miller gave an instruc- tive and interesting talk on the jewish situation in Europe, and plans are being made for talks relating to the jewish situation and other current issues. Officers Stella C.

The Men's Liberal Club The Liberal Club has come to stay. Though its existence dates only from the winter of 1919-20, it has established itself firmly as a campus activity that fills a long-felt need. With the dissolution of the Mens Literary Societies it was felt that there should be an organization for the study and discussion of national and world problems of current interest. The Club opened the year by staging a big non-partisan political Forum in the Chapel a week preceding the Presidential election. This Forum took the nature of a three-cornered discussion between representatives of the Republican, Democratic, and Protest positions. The speakers for the evening representing these respective points of view, were: Paul C. Howland, former Congressman of Cleveland, Thomas B. Fletcher, editor of the Marion Tribune g Norman Thom- as of New York, editor of the World Tomorrow . Other prominent speakers who addressed open meetings held under the auspi- ces of the Club were: Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation 3 Pro- fessor Felix Frankfurter and Dean Roscoe Pound, both of the Harvard University Law School. During the year, Richard C. Barnum, recent Vice-Presidential nominee on the Single Tax ticket, addressed the Club upon the Single Tax proposal. Others who spoke were: Wilmer J. Young, State Senator j. F. Burk, Ivan Ya roslantvieff, who told of conditions in Russia under Soviet rule.The four honorary members in the faculty, Professors Hannah, Ceiser, H. A. Miller, and Fullerton, also spoke at times upon interesting and timely subjects throughout the year. Officers john T. Salter - - .,...,, .... P resident O.

The Women's Liberal Club The Womens Liberal Club was organized in the Fall of 1918. There was felt a need for an organization in which economic, social and political problems could be studied. This was the stimulus which resulted in the formation of the club. A constitution has been drawn up and approved by the college, and the club is actively working. A Faculty Advisory Committee of four has been selected which meets with the Executive Committee. This committee, while having no authority nor responsibility as to any actions of the club, stands ready to offer any advice that is needed. Meetings are held regularly every two weeks, though special meetings are called when a speaker of merit can be secured. An open discussion follows the address. Some members of the Faculty, who are authorities in their lines, have been very generous in offering their information and experience to the club. Also many outside speakers have been secured and plans are made for several more, such as Oswald Garrison Villard, Lincoln Steffens, John I-laynes Holmes, Dean Roscoe Pound and other well known lecturers. Another side of the work of the club is directly among its members. Different committees were formed on certain questions, such as the Irish Question, the Haiti Question, the Russian problem, Industrial Democracies, and other social problems. The members of these committees will study these problems individually throughout the year and occasional reports are planned. A U Oflicers Margaret R. Stccr , ....... ....

Its membership is open to all who care to join whether members of the college or not. It is the aim of the association to bring to Oberlin from four to five exhibitions and to give from six to eight lectures each year. During the present college year, an exhibition of water colors and oils was held during january. An exhibition of paintings loaned by the Metropolitan Museum is to be on display during Feb- ruary and the annual Rotary exhibit of the American Water Color Society is to be shown during March. Two illustrated lectures have already been held and others are to follow. It is planned, wherever possible, to hold gallery talks in connection with the exhibitions. The present membership includes nearly one hundred students, one of whom is each year elected to membership on the Board of Directors. The student director this year is Miss Elizabeth Zachry. 132 Dramatics HE principal professional performances in English were the Ibsen plays presented by Mme. Brogny Hammer and her company in the Spring of 1920, and the dramatic interpretations given by Miss Dorothea Spinney last October. Mme. Hammer, the brilliant Norwegian actress, gave a powerful presenta- tion of Hedda Gabler, which made a deep impression on the audience. Her acting showed a native understanding of that complex character which made her peculiarly fitted to master and interpret the part. She handled excellently the transitions from pathos to ridicule and from laughter to momentary frenzy. Her rich and full toned voice and her distinguished bearing made her stage presence admirable. In The Master Builder, which is a drama of the human mind, Mme. Hammer and Rolf Hammer broke the barrier between audience and players. They brought to the public that intangible quality lying in the depths of the play, that abstract quality which is almost impossible to interpret for others, and they made it clear, vital, absorbing. Miss Dorothea Spinney in her interpretation of the Alcestis of Euripidesn stirred the imagination of her audience not only by the fact that she was the sole interpreter of all the parts and that her setting was hardly more than a suggestion, but by the superbly artistic rendering which she gave. By her rare talent she made each of the widely different characters a distinct personage, showing a thoroughly intellectual grasp of portrayal. Especially pleasing was her rendering of the chorus. Her pose, gestures, and exquisite voice made a harmony that is best compared to the rhythm of music and the majesty of sculptured line. Miss Spinney undertook a difficult task in rendering Hamlet, but she gave an impressive interpretation, bringing out the beauty of the lines, though not all her characterizations were convincing. She interpreted Hamlet in accordance with the view that Goethe held of him: A lovely, pure, noble and most moral nature without the strength of nerve, which forms a hero, sinks beneath a burden which it cannot bear and must cast away. Miss Spinney's finest acting was in the scene between Hamlet and the queen and in 0phelia's mad scene.

A department to encourage students in writing one-act plays to be produced by the association was intro- duced this year. A much needed stage has been constructed in Sturges I-lall, which gives the students an ample opportunity for the production of smaller plays. The pro- scenium is twenty feet wide and the lighting which is that of the most modern theaters, comes from above. Two small sets have been recently completed: a general exterior and a combination of scenes suitable for any interior. This latter is a modification of Gordon Craig's multiple set, adapted by Sam I-lume in the Detroit Arts and Crafts Theater. Dressing rooms will be equipped in the basement of Sturges Hall.

President Doris Stiles ..... ..... V ice-President Carol ,Jenson ............ -Secretary In the Spring of last year the one-act plays: Suppressed Desires, Back of the Yards, and The Twelve Pound Look , were performed with merit on the part of a number of the players and received well deserved praise. 134 The big production of the year was the commencement play, The Admirable Crichton, in which the handling of the English accent, the misfortunes of the ship-wrecked vacationists, and the sarcasm of some of the nobility proved no drawbacks to the enthusiasm with which the coach, Professor Jelliffe, and the cast entered into the spirit of the play. The play was considered a marked suc- cess. The parts winning special praise were played by Alice Lockwood, as Lady Mary, Geraldine Crawford as Tweeny, the maid, and James Childers as Crichton.

' v M u s ic 1-IE series of concerts for 1920-1921 have again fully maintained the high standard which has come to be taken for granted in this course. The series was opened by Mr. E. Robert Schmitz, French pianist. I-le presented to Oberlin for the first time modern French music, and gave a very interesting program. In connection with this, he very kindly gave a talk in the afternoon of the day of his recital, on Modern Music, dealing especially with Debussy and his style. This was well attended and highly appreciated by many members of the Conservatory faculty and student body. The second recital in the series, by Mr. Reinald Werrenrath, Baritone, was a delight to all. Especially do we still cherish the memory of his delightful French songs. Mr. Ossip Gabrilow- itsch, as soloist, in the D minor concerto by Mozart, was the feature in the concert by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for this year. Especially did he show his genius and mastery through his exquisite shading and poetic feeling in the very simplest parts of the Romanza. The Ensemble Music for Piano and Violin by Mrs. William Mason Bennett and Mrs.Charlotte Demuth Williams held interest not only for the beauty of the artistic performance, but also because both artists are members of the Conservatory Faculty. The program of the New York Orchestra contained Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, well-known and always enjoyed by all. This was no doubt played in commemoration of Beeth- oven's birth, 1920 being the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of that event. Mr. jacques Thibaud, the famous French violinist, gave a most fitting finale to this very successful course. Bach's Air for G string still lingers in our memory, and no one disputes his place as one of the leading violinists in the country. A list of the concerts of the second semester will be found on page 87. 137 The Oberlin Musical Union The Musical Union has once more reached its pre-war strength so far as the size and quality of the chorus are concerned. The last concerts have given clear evidence of this. The rendition of the difficult Aida at the 1920 Spring Festival, and the brilliant performance of the Elij ah at the recent holiday concert, have shown that on the artistic side the Union is at present in a very satisfactory condition. But alas! Art can scarcely ever be divorced from certain practical considerations. The recent staggering increase in the expense of giving a concert of the calibre demanded by the Oberlin audience, and the fact that the com- munity falls short of granting that margin of support which would enable the Union to pay expenses, make the- future of the enterprise somewhat uncertain. It is only because of the generous attitude of the management of the Cleveland Orchestra that the Elijah concert could be given under favorable conditions. If some of the interest which is nowabsorbed by entertainments which are ad- mittedly inferiorin artistic value to the great choral concerts which have helped to make Oberlin known all over the country, can be recovered for these con- certs, all will be well. Otherwise the enforced termination of the work of the Oberlin Musical Union is near at hand. ' Officers C. W. Savage ......,.. - - - President R. P. jameson - - - Vice-President Harley L.

I-OHENGRIN ------- - R- Wagflef The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra May 3rd 138 The Conservatory Orchestra Perhaps very few of us realize, when we hear the Conservatory Orchestra in its public performances, just how industrious and important an organization it really is. The orchestra meets regularly twice a week, and practices various standard orchestral works under the able and inspiring direction of the con- ductor, Dr. Andrews. In these rehearsals they study a number of the well known symphonies, as well as shorter pieces for orchestra, and a number of concertos for piano with orchestral accompaniment. In these latter numbers, the orchestra renders a particularly valuable service to the graduating piano students of the conservatory, in their senior recitals. Besides having the regular rehearsals each week, the orchestra makes at least one appearance in chapel each year, and several appearances at the conservatory student recitals on Wednesday evenings. This year the orchestra was larger than it has been for several years, and also contained a better group of players than usual. The string section was especially good, not only in the fact that it was larger, but in general talent, as well. This gave a better balance to the ensemble than it has usually had, and the organization was further strengthened by the addition of one or two to the wood-wind section, and an extra horn or two to the brass. During the fall the orchestra worked on the famous Mozart Symphony in C Major, better known as the jupiter Symphony. After that they took up the Beethoven Fourth Symphony, and later the Indian Suite of McDowell. Two of the shorter pieces which they studied were Pomp and Circumstancef' by Sir Edward Elgar, and Valse Noble, by their own director, Dr. Andrews. Altogether the season was a very successful one, and it is hoped that next year will prove to be as good, if not better. 139 Nye Bowen Rowell Walters Cruikshank Kinncar Stem Prof. Frederick Sprout Robinson Anders Hopkins Pierce Aughenbach Gulick Catton Williams Jameson Randall Windecker Wieda Wilson Keep Oberlin College Band The Oberlin College Band is rapidly coming into its own, and taking its place among the important organizations of Oberlin College students. During the period of the late war, and especially during the S.A.T.C. regime, the band was almost extinct. I n the last two years, however, much has been accomplished. The band is once again on its feet, and under the direction of Mr. Walter I-I. Frederick, Assistant Professor of Wind Instruments in the Conservatory of Music, steady progress is assured. This year the membership was limited to twenty-five players. Examinations were held to fill these places. Several, who were not admitted to membership, come to practices regularly so as to be ready to fill vacancies as soon as they occur. Several much-needed instruments were bought, and are owned by the band. The band plays at all home athletic contests and several other important functions during the year. During the football season it accompanied the team to both Wooster and Reserve. With the advent of Spring, the band plans to give several open-air concerts on the campus. A wide variety of selections have been practiced during the year for this purpose. This will be something new for Oberlin and it is expected that it will be met by much approval and appreciation.

Librarian 140 United Church Choir Like two streams which, pursuing each its own course through its own special landscape, finally unite in a deeper flow through broader valleys, and attain a grandeur and a usefulness which neither could have had by itself, so the choirs of First and Second Church have joined to form the United Church Choir, in the full expectation that a richer and more uplifting musical service might be thus attained. This hope is being realized. The number of those who wished to become members of the United Choir at the beginning of the year was very great, and the quality of the voices received was correspondingly excellent. Under the enthusiastic and painstaking leadership of Professor Kimball, supported by Dr. Andrews at the Chapel organ, and with the inspiration of the larger audi- ence, the choir has set its ideal even higher, and is striving to make the musical part of the service more helpful and a more perfect expression of the praise, faith, and aspiration of the worshippers. The difficulties have not all been overcome. The time which can be snatched for rehearsal is too brief to allow of more than an approximation of the ideal. But the spirit of the organization is fine, and with more experience in the new organization improvement in various directions may be expected. OHlcers Professor Arthur S.

The musical side of college life can scarcely be called complete without an organization of this kind. The music of mandolin and guitar has always been associated with college days. After a lapse of two years, Oberlin College is once more represented by a live and growing Mandolin Club. It was organized early in the Fall under the direction of Professor Frederick of the Conservatory. Under his leadership the club has developed into a well-balanced organization, which can compare favorably with similar organizations in other colleges. There are at present thirteen members, and the instrumentation includes the following: Four first mandolins, four second mandolins, two guitars, one flute, one mando- cello, and one violoncello. The club has but one rehearsal each week, and con- sidering the short time of its existence, plays a very excellent grade of music. Besides the usual popular numbers, the club plays several standard overtures, and numerous classical selections. An outgrowth of the club, perhaps best appreciated by the feminine element in college, has been the formation of serenading groups. These can be heard during the warm nights of the Fall and Spring. The club has appeared on several occasions at informal concerts. The Home Concert, which marked the culmination of the year's work, was held early in the Spring. Officers A. M.

The members of these societies have the benefit of consistent training and co-operative drill through the larger part of each school year and are called upon frequently to represent the college in the concert world. The real test of the success of the glee clubs is found in the continued reception accorded them in their appearances at home and in communities and cities abroad. It is our judgment that the glee clubs for the current year have not only added to the fine records which are theirs but they have also brought distinct credit to the college because of the message of musicg this feeling is admirably supported by favorable press comments and by personal etters. The IVIen's Culee Club for the year 1920-21 has the distinction of being the first Oberlin club to spend the long vacation in the east. Usually the club has travelled in the middle and western states during the winter recess. For almost three weeks at the Christmas vacation the club gave concerts in New York, New jersey, and New England States, and in Washington, D. C. Probably at no previous time has the work of an Oberlin club been put along side that of similar organizations from the eastern colleges and universities, and Oberlin has not suffered.on account of these comparisons. The concert work for the third season of the Womens Glee Club is similar to that of the organization for the two previous years. The program was as ambi- tious and attractive as presented by any other college singing society and the experience of the club at home and abroad gave ample proof that its work makes a general appeal. The short spring recess does not allow the club to travel far from home and yet the concert schedule is sufficiently long and attractive to give the members a worth-while experience and to make it possible for Oberlin to profit on account of such worthy representation. .These organizations, each with a membership of approximately thirty stu- dents, embark annually upon an undertaking which is not only remarkable in itself but as extensive as the plans of some of the best musical societies with a maturer personnel and with a guaranteed patronage. The glee clubs are to be congratulated upon the high praise and the line recognition which they have received during the season of 1920-21, 143 First Row: Clark, Grant, McLaughlin, Schmitt, Knesal, Norfleet, Wright.

X X xx X wx QNQXYQ wk K X w XXX Menis Athletics The athletic season of 1920-21 ranks as one of the most successful in Oberlin's history. Starting with the Spring of 1920, good teams in baseball, track, foot- ball and basketball represented Oberlin in the athletic world, and established good records. Due to the lack of tennis courts, Oberlin was not represented in inter-collegiate tennis. Intramural and interclass athletics also occupied a prominent place on the Oberlin sport calendar. Successful schedules were carried out in each depart- ment, and a large portion of the student body participated in some sport. As a background to Oberlin's success in the athletic world stands the Depart- ment of Physical Education. This department ranks with the best in the country and proves a valuable asset to the health of the students. Under the efficient leadership of Director Savage, new and advancing changes are con- stantly being made in this phase of Oberlin education. Marked student interest and support was in evidence throughout the whole year,-the cheering was especially good. In the warm weather sports, the track and baseball teams achieved success. The track team won three meets, and took third place in the Big Six. Our relay team established a new state record at the Big Six meet. The baseball team won five out of seven conference games, displaying strength in pitching and batting, but the fielding work was below par on several occasions. In football, we had but one defeat, at the hands of Wooster, in the conference games. Both line and back-field were especially strong, and easily overcame most opponents. The basketball team, too, was not without its victories. The team developed into a smooth-running organization, and carried off numerous victories, totaling a very successful year in Oberlin's athletic life. 147 I L rm, . 148 , The Department of Physical Education BERLIN COLLEGE has by its consistently progressive policy in the field of physical education established an enviable reputation. It is doubtful if any other college or university in the country with an enroll- ment of less than five hundred men can show a staff of five men devoting their entire time as members of the faculty to the work in physical education. Ober- lin was one of the first colleges of the country to substitute all the year faculty coaching for the seasonal coaches of her varsity athletic teams. She is also one of the first institutions to make a determined effort to get every student into active participation in physical education activities of some form. In educational circles Oberlin is well known as a training school for leaders in the profession of physical education. At the present time there are at least fifteen Oberlin graduates holding faculty positions in the department of physical education in colleges or universities. One of the most important steps taken in recent years in physical education at Oberlin is the recognition by the college of the values of intercollegiate sports in the general physical education scheme. While there is much yet to be accomplished in the successful development of this plan there is already enough evidence to show that the step is a wise one. The elimination of cross purposes and friction and the better co-ordination of all phases of the work in physical education are not the least of the satisfactory results attained. It may be confidently expected that the work of this depart- ment will increase the happiness, the health and the general effectiveness of the Oberlin student men to a very marked degree. - But it is perhaps for the recognition of the educational values of physical activities that Oberlin College is famous. What modern educational experts have been claiming in recent years and what the great war so clearly demonstrated as to the peculiar character-building values of games and physical activities, Oberlin College recognized twenty years ago. A recent study conducted by Dr. George L. Meylan of Columbia University shows that one hundred and twenty colleges and universities in the United States are now giving credit toward the degree for work done in the Department of Physical Education. While the College sees fit to require only two years work in physical education it is the aim of the staff in that department so to strengthen the love of athletic sports and so to increase the popularity of activities in the open air that soon there may be l0O'Z, participation in physical activities on the part of the men of Oberlin College. It is to be hoped that within a few years staff, financial sup- port, fields and equipment will all be such that every man in college will find some physical activity to his liking. C. W.

The O Club Standing forth as the true emblem of Oberlin spirit are the wearers of the golden Always fighting, but always playing clean, Oberlirfs representatives on the gridiron, the diamond, the cinder paths, and the basketball court, have established a widespread reputation for true sportsmanship. Oberlin's rank in the hall of intercollegiate athletic fame has been achieved through the efforts of the O men. With a patient perseverance and determina- tion, they have clashed with our opponents and although sometimes defeated, they always go down with colors flying. To the men of the O club go the plaudits of their classmates for their gameness, their sportsmanship, and their loyalty to their school. O Men Football Basketball 'Track Frank O.

With per- severance and hard work Chick has led the cheers at intercollegiate games, and he has always instilled that pep which is so necessary to a cheering section, Moreover, he has presided at sings and rallies, and has been a large factor in promoting general student interest in athletics. Under the new system of electing a cheer-leader, and the outline of his duties, as initiated last year, the cheer- leader occupies a very important place in student activi- ties. The new system provides that at the end of each year the men will elect a cheer-leader, who must be a Senior and who cannot be on the football squad. At the same time an assistant cheer-leader will be elected from the Sophomore class. The duties, as outlined for the cheer-leader, are many and various: The cheer-leader, with the Director of Athletics and the assistant cheer- leader, determine the policy of cheer-leadingg he is responsible for all stunts at any athletic event, he appoints a song-leader, he serves on the IVlen's Court and is an active member of the Senate. In reward for his services, arrangements have been made that if the work of the cheer-leader has proven satisfactory to the college athletic authorities, he may be voted an oval O with the letters C L in the center. This O entitles him to active membership in the O Club. This O was awarded to Charles Adams in the fall, for his efforts on the football field, thus showing the high quality of his work. The assistants of the cheer-leader also deserve a . slice of praise, for they served faithfully and con- tributed their bit in promoting better cheering. Williams, Emery, Cordon and Boughton served as yell-masters, and worked very satisfactorily. To their efforts, plus the efforts of the cheer-leader and the student interest, can be attributed the success of the Oberlin cheering system. The cheering this year has been most effective, and at no time has the Oberlin spirit fallen down. Every athletic contest here at Oberlin has met with a wonder- ful response from the faculty and student body, and under Chick's expert guidance the cheers of all have rung out to help our defenders of the Colden O come victorious from the fray. l ,.,,,, ,... -,.,,,- ,, J 152 Varsity Football 1920 ' Tl COACH METCALF . The honor for Oberlin's success on the gridiron for the past two years belongs to one man-T. Nelson Metcalf. We are glad to have him with us, and to know that Nellie has gained widespread popularity and esteem due to his efficient football coaching. Inspiring his men to play their hardest, not driving them, has achieved wonderful results for Nellie. I-Ie taught his men to play hard, but to play the game-clean, and in every game in which Oberlin participated, the officials noted this and commended Coach Metcalf on Oberlin sportsmanship. Nellie was greatly handicapped this year by numerous injuries to his men, but with only three men lost by graduation, we are sure that Coach Metcalf will produce another championship team in 1921. LAURENCE MCPI-IEE, C Mickey j Captain Mickey was the best all-round man on the team by all odds, and made an exceptional leader. I-le starred in all departments of the game, and in a large measure, Oberlin's success can be attributed to his playing. With another year ahead of him he should be even more of a terror throughout the Ohio conference. ASSISTANT COACH STELLER Last year marked the end of Nig's participation in intra-collegiate athletics, but he still contributes a great deal to the success of Oberlin teams. I-le served as Assistant Coach for the 1920 Eleven, and proved to be a valuable asset. I-le imparted a great deal of that valuable defensive play to his pupils and showed real value as a coach. . 154 First Row: Winters, Landis, Teegarten, Emery, Farmin, Stevens, Steller.

A single defeat at the hands of Wooster spoiled an otherwise perfect record in the Ohio Conference standing. Nevertheless, the record of 1920 is regarded as most successful and one of which every Oberlinite can be justly proud. Victories were registered over Heidelberg, Mount Union, Hiram, Reserve, and Case. In addition Oberlin played a fast and furious game against Ohio State and held the Big Ten champs to a 37-0 score. Injuries played a prominent role in every game. In many contests, the Crimson and Gold suffered a weakened line-up due to the loss of some star. This greatly handicapped our team and contrib- uted immeasurably to Wooster's victory. To the football squad of 1920 and to Coach Metcalf goes the praise of the entire school for their remarkable showing under such adverse conditions.

I-Iis sterling per- formance this year was against the big State line which he literally tore up. An injury in the Mount Union game greatly handicapped him, but he played the same old smashing game in the Wooster contest. l-lis knowledge of the Finer points of the game and his strong personality will make him a capable leader of the Crimson and Gold eleven next Fall. . I-IARLAN IVIETCALF Goldie Goldie was switched over to a new position this year, but he still played the same old reliable game. This is his third year on the Crimson and Gold line, and each year he has been a star performer. I-Iis specialty is blocking punts and then recovering the pigskin. ROBERT LANSDALE Bob ' ' Although this was his first season, Bob developed into an old reliable. Especially in the Wooster game did he display his staying powers. I-Ie held up his side of the line in great shape, and permitted few gains. Bob played in every game of the season, and was always there with the same old fight. - EARLE NEWSGM ' 'Newsi e' ' Thirteen was Newsie's long suit. He wore a No. 13 on his back, was thirteenth man when the squad was counted out, and ended his football career on the thirteenth of November. Although this was his first year as a regular, he played a bang-up game in spite of his numerical hoodoo. 156 'I ALFRED WHEELER . .Ar . Starting in a new capacity, as regular quarter-back, Al showed remarkable ability as a field-general. I-le was high scorer with six touchdowns to his credit. The Wheeler-McPhee combinations on forward passes were the best ground- gainers of the season. The year 1921 should be a grand success for Al, FRANK BARDEN Bard' ' ' Frank was a bulwark on defense and offense throughout the season. Especially in the State game was he in evidence. I-Ie played a remarkably good game at the pivot position and was also willing to play with his voice aswell. With another year ahead of him, Barden should make a strong bid for All-State honors next Fall. WILLIAM PARKI-IILL Bill Bill was a regular bear for injuries, but that made no difference inhis playing. I-le stepped into Nig's shoes, and always played a strong defensive game. I-Ie hit the line hard, and backed up the line in fine style. With ten months for recovery, Bill should be a whirlwind next season. LEON TAYLOR I-lawkshawu Taylor was a marked man in every contest, but he made many long gains in spite of it all. In the Reserve game he actually ran wild through the Adelbert eleven. Leon upheld the kicking honors, and in good shape, too. Next year we are expecting great things from Taylor. 157 FRANKLIN MAYER uzip.. Zip was the speediest man on the squad. His work was doubly hard, as he served as sub back. In the Case game in particular he showed a wonderful flllaslfg of speed. Next year as a regular he will be tearing around all the ends in 11 C tate. REESE RICKARDS u Whitey Size is immaterial to Rickards. Playing a new position, he starred throughout the season and played a strong defensive game. I-Iis specialty was sneaking around and nailing the runners behind the line. I-Ie is the only Soph to get his letter, and with two years ahead, great things are expected. HARRY WILL I-Iarryf' I-larry also played his first year at varsity football, in fact, his first year at football. I-le exhibited a wonderful amount of drive and fight, and could always be counted upon to outplay his heavier opponents. I-le is constantly trying to learn more about the game, and he should be a valuable man next year. LLOYD WITI-IROW Withy Ankles were Withy's jinx. Yet he managed to get the troublesome joints into shape for several contests. Lloyd is probably the best guard of his weight in the state. This is his first year in a varsity suit, and he should be a shining light on the 1921 eleven. 158 HEIDELBERC Oberlin opened the 1920 football season on October 2nd by conquering Heidelberg on Dill Field, by the score of 21-0. Good football was prominent in spots, but the contest as a whole was very slow and listless. The varsity showed a decided lack of offensive strength, perhaps due to the absence of Taylor, but the linemen played a very creditable game. Stallings, Metcalf, and Barden played a star game, while the linemen, Rickards, Newsom, Withrow, and Will put up a good brand of football. Oberlin's best man on the offensive was Mayer, who skirted the ends for several substantial gains. Things looked interesting at the start of the game, but Coach Metcalf 's machine limbered up, scoring two touch- downs in the first half and one in the final period. OHIO STATE Ohio State swamped Oberlin 37-0 on October 9th at Columbus. The Crimson and Gold held the much vaunted State line until near the end of the first half, when the Ohioans broke loose and scored three touchdowns in five minutes. Forward passes netted two of these tallies, while Stinchcomb, State's All- American half-back, with eight seconds left, raced the entire length of the field for the third touchdown. Henderson recovered a fumble in the third quarter and scored another touchdown, while Cott skirted right end for thirty-five yards and the final touchdown in the last quarter. Udell Stallings was the shining light for Oberlin. Time after time he broke through the heavier opponent and tackled the Ohio runners for losses. He made the first three tackles of the game, and was the backbone of the Oberlin line, which played a great game. Barden, Metcalf and Parkhill were other Oberlin players who showed to best advantage, and caused serious trouble to the Columbus attack. MOUNT UNION ' Mount Union, coached by Eddie Casey, the Harvard star, fell before the attack of the Crimson and Gold warriors in the second home game of the season, to the score of 7-0. Oberlin outplayed the visitors, but lost several chances to score. A series of three nice passes, netting forty-five yards, carried the ball to the five-yard line in the first few minutes of play. Captain McPhee carried the ball over for the only score of the day. Withrow produced a big thrill in the third quarter by intercepting a forward pass and running forty-five yards before being downed. McPhee and Stallings were compelled to retire in the last half because of injuries. MountUnion nearly shattered the nerves of everyone during the last quarter by opening up a forward pass attack. Ten long passes were batted to the ground by Mayer, Parkhill and Taylor, and when McBride missed aipass behind the goal, a huge sigh of relief went up on the west bleachers. Captain McPhee starred on the offense, while Metcalf, Lansdale, Barden, Withrow and Stallings played a strong defensive game. WOOSTER Wooster proved to be our only jinx. Fully six hundred people invaded Wooster on October 23rd, with the hope of carrying the championship of Ohio back to Oberlin. Instead, Wooster squelches us, 19-0, and the Ohio Conference 159 160 title went up in smoke. Outplayed in every department of the game, Oberlin put up a game fight, but was unable to stop the smashing attack of the Black and Cold line. The Wooster tackles, center, and backs were the stars of the game. Oberlin threatened to score on two occasions, but lacked the necessary punch. Wooster scored in the first half on a steady march down the field. The real heart-breaker came in the second half when Walker blocked Taylors punt in the shadow of the goal posts. Three Wooster men fell on the ball for a touch- down. Injuries greatly handicapped our team, Taylor, Rickards and Wheeler being forced to leave the game, while Wooster was in prime condition. Captain McPhee, Parkhill and Lansdale were the stars of the Oberlin team. I-IIRAM With five regulars out, Newsom, Taylor, Stallings, Withrow and Parkhill, Oberlin defeated the I-liram team on Dill Field to the score of 43-0. I-liram played hard and clean football, but were unable to stop the Crimson and Cold. Oberlin played a brilliant and snappy game, in contrast with the catastrophe at Wooster. Wheeler and McPhee starred on the offense and executed several wonderful passes for long gains. Harsh played a brilliant game at full-back, and also devel- oped a camels thirst, while Lansdale was a bulwark on the line. Captain Peter- man of I-liram put up that style of game, both on the defense and offense, that won him a place on the All-Ohio eleven. During the last quarter, Oberlin had an entire team of second string players on the field. These men played a very creditable game, but were unable to score on I-liram. RESERVE Oberlin fight won the annual migration day contest from Reserve, by a score of 20-14. On two occasions this fight was needed to come from the tail-end of the score and win the game. Rough playing by Reserve and poor work by the officials greatly marred the contest. Reserve scored on a Huke early in the game. On punt formation, Wheeler made thirty-five yards for Oberlin's first touch- down, eluding nearly the whole Reserve team in one of the most sensational dashes of the season. Taylor scored on an end run of fourteen yards, while a pass and solid plunging resulted in Wheelers going across for the deciding touchdown. Taylor displayed the old-time form that won him a place on the All-Ohio eleven in 1919, and was always good for ten or thirty yards. Captain McPhee was on par with Taylor, while Rickards at end played his best game of the season. CASE Oberlin smeared Case 23-0 in the last and home-coming game of the year, on November 13th. Fully three thousand people saw the Casers completely outclassed. This victory gave us a tie for honors with Denison for the second place in the Ohio Conference. Coach- Metcalf held his men to a kicking game, and this lowered the score by several touchdowns. McPhee, Taylor and Parkhill were the offensive stars of the game, while the linemen played great football and stopped Case's attack consistently. Parkhill kicked his only field goal of the season from placement on the twenty-five-yard line. lol 162 Y W1 163 164 Football Banquet As a fitting climax to a successful football season, five hundred men honored the gridiron team at the annual football banquet in Warner Gymnasium on November 20th, 1920. This banquet surpassed all previous ones, and was one grand success. The football banquet is an annual affair in Oberlin, and on this occasion all the men get together in honor of the football team. Announcement of the captain-elect, speeches by various men, and various forms of entertainment feature the evenings program. Every number of the program of the 1920 football banquet brought forth thunders of sincere applause that literally shook Warner Gymnasium. The election of Udell Stallings to lead the 1921 eleven was announced by Captain McPhee of the 1920 team. Resumes of the season were made by Coach Metcalf and by Director Savage, showing especially the high regard in which Oberlin's clean brand of football is held by outside critics. One of Oberlin's greatest seasons, was the way Professor Savage characterized the year's record of five victories out of six conference games in his remarks previous to giving out the letters. I-le expressed appreciation of the work of Coach Nellie Metcalf, and also of student spirit, as shown by the schools support of the team. In awarding the letters he commended the players upon their hard work and clean sportsman- ship. Varsity Ons were awarded to thirteen men: Captain McPhee, Barden, Wheeler, Taylor, Metcalf, Stallings, Rickards, Will, Withrow, Mayer, Parkhill, Newsom and Lansdale. 165 Dr. Thomas Graham of the Graduate School of Theology concluded the evenings entertainment with one of the best speeches ever made at an Oberlin football banquet. Why arewe here 7 said Dr. Graham, in beginning the main address of the eveningg We are here because of a game--a game we love-be- cause of the spirit of play. I-Ie emphasized the effect of play in the nations of the world, and the value of collegiate athletics as a welding force in college life. The Football Follies, which showed Father Oberlin being successfully vamped away from his strict rules by Miss Successful Football Season, and music by the iVlen's Glee Club, completed the program. Every one of these features blended into a celebration which none of the men present will soon orget. 166 Varsity Basketball IQZI 34, A 1 ,i V . E , F I I i l 1 l 1 COACH KELLER Coaching basketball for the first time, Lou showed his versatility by welding a green, inexperienced squad into a championship basketball team. With a nucleus of two letter men, Coach Keller worked patiently and his efforts were rewarded with a most successful season. Instilling many of the Hner points such as dodging, pivoting, and practising fouls, enabled Keller to develop a fast combination. Under his tutorship, the Crimson and Gold athletes brought forth the new system of plays which is in vogue in many of the leading univer- sities-the four-man defense with one man under the basket. Coach Keller can be justly proud of the record his proteges have established, and we also are mighty proud of the splendid work which he has turned out. May the season of l922 be just as successful! 170 Keller McPhee Wood Stallings Sheffield Nye Winters Whcclcr CCapt.D Howard Marvin Landis - CAPTAIN WHEELER Captain Al Wheeler was a shining star in the 1921 basketball team. I-le was the mainstay of the team in every game and could always be counted upon to annex from ten to twenty-five points. For the second successive year he ranked as high scorer for the season, and to his uncanny ability to cage field goals, and especially throws from the foul line can be attributed many of Oberlin's victories. Besides displaying marvelous accuracy in shooting, Al played a fast, clean floor game that continually wrought havoc with other teams. I-Ie was an ideal leader and should be even a greater star as captain of the 1922 quintet.

Victories were scored in six out of seven Ohio Conference games, giving Oberlin the best percentage column in the race for state basketball honors. A lone defeat at the hands of Denison marred the otherwise perfect record. Hillsdale, Case, Reserve and the Michigan Aggies each fell twice before the attack of the Crimson and Gold, while Hiram, Detroit, and Denison succumbed once. The prospects for a successful season were doubtful at the start of the year due to the fact that only two letter men, Wheeler and Howard, were back, and Coach Keller was serving his first year as basketball coach. All doubts were soon driven away and the Oberlin quintet developed a superior combination of passing and shooting that completely outclassed their opponents. Captain Wheeler, Nye and Howard were the regular forwards, and they caged the ball with persistent regularity throughout the season. Winters and Marvin at guard rank as two of the best defensive men in the state, while Wood, playing the last four games at center, put up a steady, reliable brand of defensive and offensive basketball. The features of the season were the foul-shooting of Captain Al Wheeler, the sensational rally in the M. A. C. game, and the wonderful cheering support given in the crucial games. At the Denison and M. A. C. games, Warner Gym was one huge roar from the first whistle until the last crack of the pistol. ' HILLSDALE Oberlin's untested basketball team opened the season by administering a 23-16 defeat to Hillsdale in Warner Gymnasium. The Crimson and Gold athletes showed a decided strength for the initial game. Piling up a lead at the start, they were never headed although Hillsdale came close at several times. The Oberlin quintet passed well during the second half while Winters and Marvin at guard put up a strong defense. Nye and Wheeler at forward, and Howard at center played a good game. RESERVE Captain Wheeler enabled Oberlin to defeat Reserve in the first Conference game of the year at Cleveland, 31-23. Reserve roughed it considerably, there- by making numerous fouls. Al excelled from the foul line, and caged thirteen out of seventeen free throws. Oberlin got an early lead, but the half ended 16-15. Reserve came back with a rush at the start of the second half, but Winters and Marvin broke -things up with regularity and the Oberlin aggregation forged ahead. Nye shot four baskets at forward, and Howard also contributed his share. HIRAM Playing a fast, superior brand of basketball, Oberlin trounced Hiram in the first home Conference game, 35-20. Hiram fought gamely, and brought the ball down the floor persistently, only to have Winters and Marvin recover the spheroid. Oberlin's forwards had little difficulty in eluding the Hiram guards, and so 173 caged many a basket. During the second half Oberlin had nearly an entire team of second string men on the fioor. Howard and Nye starred, contributing twelve and ten points respectively to our total score. MICHIGAN AGCIES Oberlin defeated the crack Aggie quintet by a score of 23-21, in the fastest and most exciting game of the season. The farmers led at the end of the half, 14-6, but the Crimson and Gold were a rejuvenated team in the final period. Fast and furious basketball marked this half, and the lead switched from team to team. Baskets by Wheeler and Nye at crucial times gave Oberlin the victory. Coach Frimodig started the game with second string men, but soon yanked them and inserted his regulars. Wheeler was the scoring star, making nineteen of Oberlin's tweny-three points. - CASE Following exams, Oberlin journeyed to Cleveland and smeared Case by a score of 34-28. Excellent team work and shooting featured the playing of the Crimson and Gold quintet. Although handicapped by the small floor, Coach Keller's men took a commanding lead at the start and were never headed. Winters and Marvin put up their usual close guarding game, and the Case for- wards just simply could not get close to the basket. On the offensive end, Wheeler and Howard caged the ball with clock-work precision. Wheeler tossed six field goals and eight fouls, while Howard put five through the circle. DEN I SON Denison was another Wooster, for the down-staters spoiled our perfectly good record by trimming us 51-18. Playing on Denison's small floor, Oberlin could do nothing against the bewildering shooting of the Big Red team. The Denison men were simply playing over their heads and made impossible shots from all angles. All a Denison player had to do was to shoot, and a basket would result. Stone, a guard, scored eleven field goals, while Retting at forward, con- tributed eight. Oberlin's scoring was distributed among Wheeler, Nye, Howard, Winters and Wood. The game started like a real battle, but soon Denison got their eye on the ball and our chances went glimmering. DETROIT In the keystone game of a three-day trip, Oberlin smothered the Detroit junior College at Detroit by a score of 30-18. The game was played in the afternoon, and the sun shining through the windows afforded an excellent glare. However, Coach Keller's men became accustomed to this in the second half, and they opened up on an attack that surprised the spectators and easily gave us a victory. MICHIGAN ACGIES Presenting a new line-up, with Wood at center and Howard shifted to for- ward, Oberlin played championship basketball and defeated M. A. C. on their own floor by the score of 37-29. The Crimson and Gold had to Hght to win this 174 game, for the Aggies led early in the game, 12-3. Then Wheeler and Howard started, and Oberlin came through with one of the- greatest spurts ever made, scoring twenty consecutive points, while the green team scored none. In the second half the Aggies braced up, but Ed and Al took the joy out of their life by adding two long shots. Wheeler and Howard starred offensively, while Wood, Marvin and Winters played a wonderful defensive game. I-IILLSDALE Completing the most successful trip ever, Oberlin made it three straight by winning from Hillsdale 32-21. Hillsdale fought hard on their small floor with low ceiling, and the game was fast and furious. Superior team-work and shoot- ing enabled us to win. Marvin and Winters played a superb guarding game, while Howard was a demon on short shots, and counted seven baskets. Oberlin's team- work was excellent in this game, and it completely baffled the lvlichiganders. RESERVE In a slow, listless game, Reserve fell before Oberlin for the second time, 18-13. An easy victory was expected, but with several new men, Reserve put up a fair game. Wahl scored eleven of Reserves thirteen points. Nine of- these were from the foul line, showing the close guarding of the Oberlin men. Unlucky shots were in vogue all evening, and Reserves five man defense kept the ball in the middle of the floor the most of the time. Oberlin led at the end of the half, ll-6. Reserve nearly tied the score in the last half, due to Wahl's foul shooting, but a basket at the right time increased our lead. Wheeler was the scoring lumi- nary, with ten points to his credit. CASE Case furnished little opposition, and Coach Keller's men ran away with the Scientists, 40-13. Oberlin played rings around the Brown and White, and led all the way, outclassing Case in every department of the game. Oberlin shot poorly during the first half, but made up for this in the second half, when Wheeler and Howard dropped the ball through the circle with their customary skill. Wheeler was the big scoring star, with eight field baskets and seven fouls for a total of twenty-three points. DENISON, Displaying an unbeatable fighting spirit, Oberlin conquered the Big Red Granville team in the final game of the season, by a score of 23-16. Denison battled the Crimson and Cold on even terms, and at the end of the first half the score was 13-9, in our favor. The down-staters tried hard in the final period, but stiff guarding spoiled their attack, and held Rettig, Ehrle and Stone. To- ward the end of the half, Oberlin excelled in passing and shooting and sewed up the game. Captain Wheeler made a total of thirteen points on three Held goals and seven fouls, while Howard made four field goals. 175 176 Varsity Baseball 1920 Keller Frey ' COACH KELLER Proficiency in the national game seems to be easily instilled into his players by Coach Keller. With a nucleus of three letter men he shaped his green material into a well-coached baseball team that won five out of eight conference games. Patience and tact in handling his men are the keynotes of Keller's coaching. With persevering attention he teaches his men the fine points of the game in that indelible way.that cannot be forgotten. The diamond at the athletic field on a Spring day, with its good fellowship and efficient coach, leaves amarked impression upon the onlooker. To Coach Kel1er's expert coaching can be at- tributed the success of the 1920 season, and to him goes the gratitude of the student body for the team's success. May he have an even greater success in 1921! CAPTAIN FREY A veteran of two seasons, Captain Frey held down third base for the third consecutive year. l-le filled his position well and gathered a number of nice hits. Especially in the Aggie game at Lansing, Paul played a star game. Popular with his team-mates, he made a capable leader of the Crimson and Gold nine. 178 Knesal Solier Andrews Woodruff Steller Smiley Wheeler Frey Stallings Millikan Marvin Landis Moses . H The Season The Crimson and Gold baseball nine of 1920 won six and lost six games. Con- sidering the calibre of the opposing teams and the weather conditions, the season was a success. Oberlin registered double victories over Case and Reserve, lost two games to Wooster, broke even with Ohio Wesleyan and the Michigan Aggies, and lost Ohio State and Detroit University. Erratic work in the field, and weakness at bat in the pinches robbed Oberlin of several victories. Andrews was the mainstay of the hurling staff, and could always be depended upon to pitch a good game. Nye also twirled effectively in several games, while the outfield and infield played a particularly good brand of baseball.

Ohio State won by a score of 4-1, while Ohio Wesleyan registered a 6-l victory the next day. Lack of practice was the main reason for the two defeats. Andress pitched good ball against State and would have won with good support, Oberlin's single run being the only earned run of the game. Bill Nye twirled the ball in good shape against Ohio Wesleyan and he also col- lected two of Oberlin's four hits. Wesleyan won by bunching hits in the third and fifth innings, aided by a couple of errors. WOOSTER Wooster opened the home season by trouncing the Crimson and Ciold on May 5th. The score happened to be 10-5. Ragged playing by both teams, and the excellent relief work of Nye marked the contest. Oberlin collapsed in the sixth inning and Wooster scored six runs. Nye relieved Andrews and completely baffled the Wooster sluggers. Wretched support by the infield allowed further scoring after he went in. Oberlin outbatted Wooster 7-4, but hits did not come at opportune times. CASE . Oberlin came to life on May 8th, and scored her first victory of the year over Case, 3-1. Andrews pitched superb ball and the infield was air-tight. Smiley starred at bat with three clean hits which accounted for two of Oberlin's runs. Oberlin scored in the first inning. Case tied the count in the sixth. Oberlin scored again in the sixth on singles by Stallings and Smiley, and the same pair duplicated the feat in the eighth and clinched the game. MICHIGAN AGGIES On May 14th, Coach Keller's athletes swamped the highly touted Michigan Aggie team to the tune of 7-2 at East Lansing. Andrews again pitched consistent ball and Stallings kept the Aggie runners glued to the bases. Frey played a star fielding game, while Solier and Woodruff each landed three hits in five times at bat. Stallings also connected for a triple. DETROIT Detroit University, apparently semi-professional players, defeated us the next day, 10-2. Nye got a bad start when five runs were scored in the first inning. Oberlin faced invincible pitching by the Detroit twirlers and could not connect in the pinches. MICHIGAN AGGIES The best game of the year was played on May 26th, when the Michigan Aggies invaded Oberlin and emerged with a hard-fought 1-O victory. The Aggies avenged their former defeat, but Oberlin should have won. Poor base running in the ninth inning lost the game for Oberlin. Andrews pitched a masterful 180 181 game and deserved to win. Snyder starred for M. A. C. and robbed Oberlin of several hits. Prospects were rosy in the ninth with men on second and third bases with none out, but a snap throw to third enabled M. A. C. to escape unscat ed. CASE The second victory at Case's expense came on May 29th, when Captain Frey's men won 5-2. Cood baseball by the Crimson and Cold in all its depart- ments featured the contest. Andrews again pitched gilt-edged ball while Marvin starred at second. The game was closely contested in the eighth inning, when Oberlin scored two runs and clinched the game. Another marker was added in the ninth inning for good measure. OHIO WESLEYAN Revenge is sweet, and avenged we were with Ohio Wesleyan on june 12th, when we defeated the Methodists in a slow, listless game. Both teams played a careless, shifty game, but Wesleyan excelled slightly in this art and was con- sequently beaten. Andrews continued his record of pitching good ball, and kept the hits well scattered. Landis, Solier and Millikan were the batting stars for Oberlin. Coach Keller's men opened the scoring in the second inning by tallying twicif, and they again scored in the fifth, thus putting Oberlin on the long end o t e score. ALUMNI The varsity nine ended the season on june 14th by trimming the Alumni 9-7, in an exciting game. A landslide of three runs in the ninth inning gave the varsity the victory. Andrews, acting as relief pitcher, added to his laurels by holding the grads scoreless in the last two innings. Two home runs by Shorty Pay and P. E. Edwards were the features of the game. Captain Frey at third, Stallings, catcher, Andrews and Nye, pitchers, Millikan, first base, Moses and,Landis, second baseg Marvin and Knesal, short- stop, and Solier, Woodruff, Smiley, Maxted and Wheeler, outfielders, were the regulars on the team. Men to receive their Varsity O in baseball were: Frey CCaptainl Andrews Woodruff Millikan Smiley Stallings Landis Marvin Solier 182 Varsity Track 1920 A A 'X .Metcalf Martin COACH METCALF Success is the Nellie's middle name. I-Ie produces a strong foot ball team and then, by the same coaching methods, he develops a strong, well-balanced track team. With patience and hard work he trained and conditioned the wearers of the Crimson and Gold track jerseys, and we are glad that his efforts were rewarded. For Oberlin won three meets and annexed third in the Big Six and such a record is rated as successful. I-Iampered by the bad weather of the early season and the lack of good hurdlers, Coach Metcalf kept smiling and worked the harder. Oberlin made a line showing in the Big Six and only lost second place by a hair. With a lot of veterans back we are anticipating another banner season in 1921. CAPTAIN MARTIN After two years of war service, Captain Fritz Martin came back and resumed track duties. With patience and perseverance he managed to iron out the kinks and nearly reached his old form. I-Ie led the Crimson and Gold tracksters through a successful season and proved a popular leader. Fritz's specialty was the dashes, and he could always be counted upon to finish high up in the scoring. IS4 VARSITY TRACK, l920 Oestrich Ncwsom Stallings Lauthers Metcalf Loy Metcalf Curtis A.

Martin Knesal Cole Thompson Carrick Dietrich Mayer Clipson Moyer The Season Oberlin's 1920 track team engaged in five meets, winning three, losing to Ohio State in a dual meet and taking third place in the annual Big Six with 325 points. Coach Metcalf's track team was a well-balanced aggregation, that showed strength both in the Held events and on the cinder paths. Only the breaks of the game enabled Ohio Wesleyan to nose Oberlin out of second place in the Big Six by l 5-6 points. Ohio State with its galaxy of stars outclassed the field and won first place, with a total of 86 l-3 points. The feature of the season was the running of the relay team, composed of F. Martin, A. Martin, Mayer, Carrick and McPhee. This quintet broke the Oberlin track record and eclipsed all records in the Big Six by establishing a new state record of 3:25 2-5 seconds, breaking the old record of 3:27 1-5.

OBERLIN-RESERVE-CASE Oberlin opened the 1920 track season by scoring a victory over Case and Reserve in an indoor track meet held March llth, in the Reserve Gymnasium. Score: Oberlin 51 g Reserve 295 Case 28. Surprising strength in the distance events enabled Oberlin to take 24 out of 27 points, and thus insure a victory. Clipson, running his first intercollegiate race, annexed two firsts, while Thomson landed first in the two-mile. Mayer made record time in the relay and enabled Coach lVletcalf's men to win this event. CASE-WOOSTER-OBERLIN The first outdoor meet resulted in the fourth consecutive annual victory over Wooster and Case.Wooster put up a stiff fight for premier honors and the Crim- son and Cold only Won after scoring heavily in the last three events. Strength in the field events enabled Oberlin to take first place in the three weight settos and outscore Wooster 28M to 225 in this department. The relay team made good time in the mile, and annexed this event. Campbellof Wooster scored heavily in the distance events. Score: Oberlin 7lMg Wooster olwg Case 29. 186 DUAL MEET, MAY 8th . Ohio State's strong track machine defeated Oberlin 93-24 at Columbus. A victory in the relay gave Oberlin her only first place obtained in the meet. Ohio's huge squad of men was entirely too good for Oberlin, and no sting is attached to the defeat. Moorehead starred for State while Knesal was high point scorer for Oberlin with 6 points. McPhee ran well in the quarter and on the relay team, geguaing 4M points. The hurdles and distance events proved disastrous for er in. TRIANGLE, MAY 15th Oberlin overwhelmed Reserve and Heidelberg on Dill Field on May 15th by a tremendous margin. Oberlin 106Mg l-leidelberg HM, Reserve 23M. The Crimson and Gold tracksters won every event, taking first places. Oberlin so completely outclassed her rivals that interest was lacking after the first few events. Frank Mayer contributed lo points by annexing three firsts and run- ning on the relay team. Curtis established a new record in the javelin throw, hurling the spear 165 feet 7 inches, breaking the previous record of 149 feet 5 inches. Parkhill also broke the old record by several feet. The only exciting race of the day developed in the mile. Dietrich and Clipso ran evenly during the four laps, spurted together in the last lap and broke the tape together in the fast time of 4:42 2-5. The relay team CMartins, Carrick, Mayerj equalled the track record by running the mile in 3:31. BIG SIX, MAY 22nd Dopesters conceded Oberlin fifth place in the Big Six. Oberlin scored 325 points and grabbed third place. Ohio Wesleyan scored 35M points while State won the meet with 86M points. Oberlin established a record in the relay that will undoubtedly stand for some time to come. McPhee, F. Martin, Carrick and Mayer ran the distance in 3 :35 2-5, breaking the old record of 3 :27 1-5 . Lauthers, Knesal and McPhee starred for Oberlin. Knesal tied for first in the pole vault with a jump of ll feet 4 inches, took third in the broad jump and was high point scorer for Oberlin. Lauthers bettered his record by a couple of feet and took second in the shot-put, while McPhee tied for second in the quarter. Sixteen men won letters: Capt. Martin, A. Martin, Carrick, Knesal, Lauthers, Loy, Metcalf, Curtis, Dietrich, Newsom, McPhee, Mayer, Clipson, Parkhill and Rice. This is an unusually large number of letter men, but shows the well- balanced strength of Coach Metcalf's machine. Practically every one of these men were consistent performers and could be counted upon to annex points in their particular event. Tennis Oberlin was not represented in intra-collegiate tennis in the Spring of 1920. A schedule of matches was arranged but was cancelled later. Lack of proper facilities for match play was given as the reason for calling off tennis activities by the members of the Athletic Committee. 187 l Mattson Metcalf CCoachJ Fisher H. Dietrich Salter M: Dietrich Oestrcich Varsity Cross-Country-1920 The Crimson and Cold 1920 cross country team participated in three meets. Two meets were lost to Wooster while fourth place was annexed in the annual Big Six, held at Ohio Wesleyan. Under the direction of Captain Salter and Coach Metcalf, the squad trained faithfully, but lost two meets to Wooster by narrow margins. The first meet, held at Wooster on October 23rd, resulted in a 17-20 victory for Wooster. Camp- bell of Wooster led the way at the tape, closely followed by M. Dietrich. Salter came in fifth followed respectively by Oestreich and Clipson. The annual Big Six, contrary to rule, was held at Ohio Wesleyan on November oth. Ohio State easily outclassed the field and landed first place with 13 points. Wooster scored 44 points for second place Q Cincinnati counted 53 points for third place, while Oberlin annexed fourth place with 55 points. Wooster and Case came to Oberlin on November 13th for the only home meet of the year. Wooster again walked away with first honors, scoring 16 to Ober- lin's 2l points. Case finished a poor third with 5 0 counters. A raw cold day greatly handicapped the runners and added to their discomfort. I-I. Dietrich, with third place, finished Hrst for Oberlin. M. Dietrich, fifthg Salter, sixth, and Oestrich, seventh, completing Oberlin's quartet of runners. Although the season of 1920 was not a marked success, the men worked hard and deserve a great deal of credit. Next Fall with a veteran team, Oberlin should rank high in Ohio Intra-collegiate cross-country circles. 188 Intraclass and Intramural Sports Intramural athletics have reached a high plane of development in Oberlin. Under the efhcient supervision of the athletic department intramural sports have been promulgated until now every man has an opportunity to participate in his chosen sport. In the words of the Director of Athletics: The slogan of the Athletic Management this Spring is athletics for every college man every week. The aim of the department is to provide opportunity for interesting competition of some sort for every man. Following this slogan, attractive schedules of intramural track meets and baseball games were successfully carried out in the Spring. Likewise intramural football and basketball prospered in the Fall and Winter. Thus under the Oberlin system, intramural athletics occupy a prominent place and contribute immeasurably to the welfare of the student body. Although not fully developed, each year sees some valuable addition and undoubtedly in a Sw years Oberlin will hold premier place in the advancement of intramural at etics. FOOTBALL The intraclass grid season of 1920 was a brilliant success in every respect. Some good teams were brought forth, classy football was exhibited in every game and the student body showed marked interest in the pigskin sport. The Sophomore class developed an eleven of unusual strength and went through the season undefeated. Under the leadership of Captain Wood, who starred in every game with plunging end runs, the class of 1923 registered five victories and tied in one contest. The Freshmen, under the tutelage of Coach Keller, developed a good team and ranked second in the tabular standing. Early in the season they held the Sophs to a scoreless tie and later scored victories over the juniors and Seniors. Several players showed up exceptionally well for the class of 1924 and should make capable varsity material. Lack of men handicapped the Seniors, while the juniors with an entire squad of new inexperienced men worked hard under Coach Severn and improved as the season advanced. INTRAMURAL TRACK . Intramural track activities occupied a prominent place in the Spring of 1920. Three important meets were held, besides a number of smaller meets. The season opened with the indoor intraclass meet in Warner Gymnasium. The class of 1922 captured this meet with a total of 57M points, 1920 scored 355 pointsg 1921, MM, 1923, 125. The Sophs grabbed six firsts in twelve events and placed in all but the pole vault. In the'220 Corsuch and Mayer came within one-Fifth of a second of equalling the track record while the Soph relay team made excep- tionally good time. Knesal '20, was high individual scorer, with 14M points, F. Martin with 13 points, and Thomson with ll points ranked next. Dietrich and Loy, of the juniors, won the mile run and the high jump. Gorsuch, F. Martin, Mayer and McPhee starred in the dashes, while Clipson, Thomson, I-I. Dietrich and Oestreich amassed 22 points in the distance events for the Sophomores.

The second year men showed their versatility by placing in every event. They maintained a good lead throughout and interest centered around the other three places. The juniors sprung a surprise by taking second place mainly through their strength in the field events. The Seniors and Frosh put up a fight for cellar position, with the upperclassmen grabbing the honors. The Dietrich brothers raced shoulder to shoulder in the two-mile for the last lap, but a strong sprint gave M. Dietrich first place. McPhee, Martin, Mayer and Corsuch ran well in the dashes. F . Martin and Mayer were high individual scorers with 13 points apiece. An intraclass mass-meet with ten places scoring completed the schedule. The Freshmen won this meet with 186 points, 1922 ranked second with 165W points, 1921 third with 120 points, 1920 fourth with 67 M points. This meet gave an opportunity for everybody to compete and some good races resulted. Metcalf '21 was high scorer with 57 points, closely followed by Mayer '21 with 54 points. Widespread student interest featured the intramural track activities. In addition to the meets, twenty-two O. A. E. monograms were awarded while Harold Wood received an O. A. E. silver medal for his work in the shot put. BASEBALL A successful revival of intraclass and intramural baseball marked the Spring of 1920. For several years previous, intramural baseball slumped, but under the efficient direction of Coach Steller, a fine schedule of games was arranged and played. Intraclass games were played on Tuesday and Thursday at four o'clock, while rooming and boarding house games were played on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at four o'clock. Thus two leagues existed and a number of good games were played. Under this plan more men engaged in baseball at Oberlin. The Physical Education Department furnished bats, balls, masks, etc., thus giving everyone a chance to play. Competition was keen in the interclass league, but the class of 1921 played the most consistent baseball and, aided by the excellent pitching of Taylor, walked away with first honors, having a record of five victories and no defeats. The Sophs and Frosh played a spasmodic brand of baseball and never were title contenders. Both teams went through the season with two victories and two defeats. Although the juniors won the title easily, many good games were played and a strong enthusiasm marked the revival of the national pastime. When another Spring rolls around, the Athletic field should see some ball games that would do credit to any amateur league. Eight teams were listed in the rooming and boarding house league. Wood- shed, Cuildes, Commons, M. B. No. 2, '22 I-louse, M. B. No. 1, Diedlers, and East Lodge composed the octet. The Woodshed, with a galaxy of athletic stars and abetted by Bob Stephens pitching, went through the season without a defeat and copped first honors. Many good games were played and many men participated, making a very successful season in the intramural sport. 193 l92 I BASKETBALL TEAM Graber Metcalf Nethcrcut Lansdale Kncsal Stevens Bu meson l92Z BASKETBALL TEAM Levine Isseks Reed Maxted Plank 194 l923 BASKETBALL TEAM Farmin Bosworth Martin Rosoffsky Dyck Wood Emery l924 BASKETBALL TEAM INTER-CLASS CHAMPIONS I92l Stcllcr Bowen Sanders Young ones Wagstaff Seaman Sullivan 195 l920 BASEBALL TEAM jones Severance Raine Stephens Albright Conover Vincent Hindman Clark l92l BASEBALL TEAM Winslow Skinner Taylor Bradley I-lazeltine Offenhauser Dilgren Adams Sheffield Partch 196 l922 BASEBALL TEAM Hamilton Brown Pcnfound Hyde McPhee Houscman Will Plank Parkhill 1923 BASEBALL TEAM Rickards Winters Moore Allen Ellcr Landis jameson Harding Watson 197 198 555- r ' 1- W ,- ' r1if5t.reH: ' Z--3 ' 'Q C 'T '- - Women's Athletics OIVIEN in Oberlin are, indeed, fortunate in having the privileges of a physical education department which ranks among the very foremost of all such college departments in the country. Those who had to do with 'framing the general policy of the college, even from the beginning, realized the im- portance of the health and bodily development of students. Accordingly, the course in physical training has been placed upon an academic level with all other college courses. Athletics have been recognized as having a place of real signifi- cance in the life of the student. I-Ience, financial support for such activity has not been left to interested alumni, but has been provided by the college treasury. Dr. Delphine I-lanna-one of the pioneers in the line of physical education for women-was for years the director of the Womens gymnasium. At present our gym faculty consists of five splendidly trained and very competent teachers. We have a so-called HP. E. major, which is one of the Finest normal courses of this kind anywhere. Girls who make physical education their major study and are able to complete the required subjects successfully, are given a teachers certificate upon graduation. They are then qualified to take positions as gymnasium instructors, play-ground directors, athletic coaches and any other work which has as its prerequisite a broad, thorough understanding of the under- lying principles of physical education. In the major sports-hockey, basketball and baseball-four class teams and a conservatory team are selected, and inter-class contests are held for the championship. About ten miles north of Oberlin, land for a summer camp along the shores of Lake Erie has already been purchased and the first camp is to be held this coming summer. It is planned especially for those girls who are making physical education their major work. Here instruction will be given in all sorts of water sports as well as special training in camp management. This addition to our present equipment rounds out a practically complete course and makes our department of physical education for women a source of lasting pride to alumni and student body alike. 199 K. .. Cushman Leona rd Macklin Larson Church Rowlcy Mclvlenemy Thompson Gymnasium and Field Association The Gymnasium and Field Association is a great asset in the life of the girls at Oberlin College. The organization of the Association has been changed from a closed to an open and a closed membership. Every girl in the college and con- servatory automatically becomes an associate member on registering in either the college or conservatory. Active membership is obtained by those girls who have earned at least one hundred points, according to the point system. To hold this active membership a girl must attend at least two-thirds of the regular meetings, the number to be at least four a year, two of which occur during each semester. The meetings last one hour and are intended to give the girls an oppor- tunity to use up some of their surplus energy and also to bring the business matters of the Association before them. The activities of the Association have been increased this year by the addi- tion of soccer and instruction inrgolf. An all-star game in soccer was played, and the enthusiasm for the game was most encouraging. The former activities are being carried on with more zeal than ever. It is especially encouraging that the number of hikes increases every year. A new athletic field has been pur- chased and operations have been started and it is hoped that it will be ready for use in the Spring. Dickinson I-louse can be used by any group of girls, on application to the matron of the house. Dickinson House becomes more and more popular as its benefits are realized by the girls. The HO. C. sweater is as much coveted as ever. Every girl who wears the O. C. monogram has just cause to be proud and the O, C. club speaks for itself. The Gymnasium and Field Association is a very active organization, and has a wealth of active material. The value of the G. F. A. increases every year and it forms one of the distinctive organizations in the college. 200 Griffith Kcmble Aiglcr Davies DeWitt Mclvlcncmy McCord Parsons Hay Davies Green Doolittle Cl C. Club The O. C. Club is an important branch of the G. F. A. It is an organiza- tion composed of all those girls who have attained the highest athletic and gym- nasium proficiency in the school. Its members are girls of jolly disposition, fine sportsmanship and high ideals. In order to belong to the Club, a girl must earn at least seven hundred points, gained in four different sports. The G. F. A. determines the number of points that may be won in the various sports. For example, members of the class teams in hockey, basketball, baseball, etc., obtain a hundred points at the close of the respective seasons. Those who finally obtain the required number of points are put through an exceedingly strenuous initiation ceremony before they become full-fledged HO. C. Girls. They are then awarded a beautiful white sweater, marked with a crimson O and a golden This sweater is a source of great pride to every owner and of great envy to all would-be owners. It is a distinction won through a process of the survival of the fittest since every freshman girl begins her career with the desire to win membership in the HO. C. Club. Besides the Q C. sweater, an additional badge of honor in the form of an arm-band may be won by any girl who earns fourteen hundred points-just double the number required for a sweater. Ruth Aigler, '21, won her arm band this year. She is the second girl who has ever done this. Thursday of each week is UO. C. Day, and on this day every O C. girl appears in her sweater. Each year an efficient social committee is appointed and a splendid program is planned to make possible stronger bonds of associa- tion and closer friendships among the girls. During Commencement week a big reunion banquet is held, at which old and new members get together. Here old girls reminisce, and new girls tell of the year's progress and the increased interest shown in athletics in Oberlin. 20l i ' ' ' ' r' '- Y -- ---1 1921 HOCKEY TEAM Green, Glass, Ivlclvlenemy, Aigler, McCord, Lyons, DeWitt, Syme, Porter, Zekind, Arnold, Davies. Hockey The hockey season of 1920-21 opened almost immediately after the beginning of the Fall term. The weather throughout the Fall was unusually favorable to any kind of athletic activity. Hardly an afternoon passed in which Dickinson field was not the scene of several hours of hockey practice. On account of the tremendous success of last years season, hockey enthusiasm ran high in the four college classes and in the conservatory. With last year's veterans as a nucleus the class teams began to take shape. Before the end of October the match games had begun and the race for the school championship was on. The teams were unusually well matched. Consequently most of the games were marked by very keen rivalry. As a result of the training received, much good team work was displayed. No team was able to win all the games on its schedule. The Seniors showed the best work-both in team play and stellar performance. However, they were compelled to put up a hard fight for the championship which they finally won by taking 3 games out of 4. A curious situation was created when the juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen all tied for second place-each winning and losing two games. The Con team had ex- cellent material and at times showed fine work, but luck was not with them and they lost 3 of their 4 games. The inter-class race ended with the standings as o lows: Captain Team Won Lost Eleanor Lyons - - - Seniors C215 3 1 Vivian Altman - - - juniors C225 2 2 Milicent Steer - - Sophomores C235 2 2 Eleanor Foote - - Freshmen C'24D 2 2 Eleanor Larsen - - - - - Conservatory 1 3 203 W 'WL l922 HOCKEY TEAM Dickson, Gulick, Powdcrmakcr, Caulliins, lvloody, Root, Vv'arncr, Brousc, Hay, Pratt, Altman. xgfizb' l923 HOCKEY TEAM Tcrborgh, Savage, Church, Stapleton, Day, Laccy, Knights, Aldrich, Wilder, Hazard, Edgerton Garland, Crofts, Stccr. 204 1924 HOCKEY TEAM Leonard, Hummel, Williams, Grosvenor, l-lcllyer, Foote, Brown, Green, Weaver, Swartz, Smith CONSERVATORY HOCKEY TEAM Maitland Dcrcvier Martin McLaughlin Hamilton DeVol DcMartini Brown Macklin Bassett Larsen Lahman Thompson Henderson 205 206 T Soccer Soccer is practically a new sport in Women's Athletics at Oberlin, but at the completion of the season was firmly established in the regular roster of the physi- cal education department. Enthusiasm ranked high especially among the Sophs, and the game was required of all Sophomore gym classes. General practice was held throughout the Fall season on Monday and Thursday at 4:30. Next year it is hoped that class teams may be chosen and inter-class games be played off for the class championship as in the other sports. At the close of the season two all-star teams were picked from those who had regularly reported for practice. These were called the Crimson Team and the Gold Team. Crimson-Van de Pyl, Glass, I-larris, Church, I-lorn, Root, Lacey, C. Crafts, I-I. M. Thompson, M. Mitchell, CCaptainQ, I-I. Davies. Gold- Warner, Post, Garland, V. Smith, Rowley, Savage, Edgerton, Dickson, Kemble, l-lellyer, Powdermaker, CCaptainj. The game was called for Monday, November 29th, but was postponed until Friday, December 3rd, because of snow. On Friday the thermometer was very low but it was thought best to go on with the game. Excitement ran high and in spite of the cold many were on the side-lines to watch the game. The teams were very well matched and a genuine spirit of rivalry existed. Splendid team work was shown by both teams and the enthu- siasm displayed bothvby the players and by the stands spoke well for the success of the sport. The Hnal score was 4-3 in favor of the Crimson Team. Soccer was a sort of experiment in the school, and everyone feels it proved to be a successful experiment. Two of the Sophomore girls, Ruth Savage and Natalie Stapleton, coached soccer at the high school during the season, and sincere interest' was also shown by the students there. The athletic department desires that new sports may find a place in Oberlin, and the successful season of the soccer teams last Fall certainly shows that Oberlin women are ever on the alert to take up anything new in the line of athletics. Some doubt was expressed by a few who feared that if soccer were a success it might displace hockey in the girls' athletic curriculum-since both are Fall sports. It has been demonstrated now that both sports can be carried on suc- cessfully by the department. 207 . . i , I z , 1 , 208 1923 BASKETBALL TEAM Edgerton Aldrich Washburn Savage Crofts Garland Church Hassaert Rowley Basketball The year's basketball season began about the first of December. The candidates were numerous and the competition for positions in the line-ups was keen. After Christmas vacation the captains were elected and the five teams were soon picked. The first games of the inter-class contest were scheduled for january 11th. The Sophs defeated the Seniors by the uneven score of 27-7 , and the Freshman Five also overcame the Con 18-7 . On january 14th, the juniors outplayed and won from the Seniors 19-11. The same day the Sophs continued their win- ning streak, winning from the Freshmen by the score of 31-8. On january 25th, the juniors pulled the surprise of the season by defeating the illustrious Sophs in one of the hardest games of the year. The final score was 24-1 l. Neither juniors nor Sophs lost any games from then on until March 9th, when once again the juniors faced the Sophs. The juniors had a clean record, having won all of their seven games, while the Sophs had lost one game out of the seven. This was one of the best games of the season, and at the end of the first half the score was 13-9, with the Sophs in the lead. During the second half the score zig-zagged back and forth, but the Sophs won out, 25-23. This game tied the Sophs and juniors for the championship, and the final contest was played on March 11th, before a large throng of enthusiasts. Play was rough, and team-work less smooth than at the previous game, but there was much fighting spirit. Once again the Sophs conquered by a score of 22-20, and carried off the championship.

Alice I-lay, '22, was elected to head the Yale team, while Mary McCord, '22, was made captain of the Princeton aggregation. Both teams were put through a week of the most strenuous training, and it looked as though Princeton was the better team, and was consequently picked to win in the fray. Warner Gym was packed on that memorable night, and the girls of the whole institution backed the two teams to the limit. Yale supporters, in blue and white, occupied the west bleachers, and the Orange and Black the south bleachers. Inucharge of the cheering were Dorothy Wire CCons.l, for the Yale team, and Grace Newsom, '22, for the Prince- ton squad. The spontaneous yelling was deafening throughout the evening. The whistle blew at 7 130, and the game was on. Princeton seemed to be the easy winner at first, and completely outplayed Yale during the first period, altho the score at the end of the half would make it seem otherwise. Half: Prince- ton, ll 3 Yale, 10. Yale came back in such shape during the second half that it looked as if all predictions would have to be reversed. Both teams gave all they had, and the score was close until the very end, when Yale won 21-20. The game as a whole featured good passing, open playing, good shooting, few fouls, little fumbling, and little time out. Princeton had the better team work and Yale the better shooting. The game was the best girls' game ever seen in Oberlin, and Coach Davies can well be proud of her championship teams.

The excitement occasioned by the Yale-Princeton game had hardly been subdued when Coach Davies brought out the baseball equip- ment and the try-outs for the class teams began. The enthusiasm of the con- testants was only exceeded by the unusual amount of rainfall. Because of the very unfavorable weather conditions practically nine-tenths of the practice work had to be carried on in the gym, rather than on the outdoor diamond at the athletic field. I-lowever, the training was none the less thorough-, and after about three weeks of warming up, the tentative teams were picked and the match games began on April loth. Two games were played that afternoon, the first between Seniors and juniorsg the second between Sophomores and Freshmen. Both games showed that there was good baseball material pretty evenly distributed throughout the classes. It was very clear that the championship was not to be easily won by any of the five contesting teams. In these first tilts the Seniors lost to the juniors by a score of 24-19 5 and the Sophomores lost to the Freshmen by one base, the final count being 14-13 in favor of the yearlings-who thus won their first college baseball game. 1-lowever, this was the only game lost by the Sophs during the whole season. Each team had eight games on its schedule, thus playing each of the other four teams twice. About four matches were run off every week. The close of the scheduled games found the juniors and Sophomores tied for the school championship. Each of these two teams had won 7 out of 8 games. About the middle of May the tie was played off in a game featured by brilliant team work and close decisions. No one dared predict at any one minute what the final tally would be. At the end of the fourth inning the juniors led by 2 points, the score then being 13-ll in their favor. In the last inning, however, the Sophs came back in a desperate rally, making 4 bases in succession and holding the juniors to their previous score. Thus the Sophs pulled out, winning by a final score of 15-13. . 213 215 A 216 Tennis 1919-1920 In Oberlin, the tennis season as a whole is divided into two parts, the Fall and the Spring seasons. Immediately after the opening of the college year the Freshman, Sophomore, junior, Senior and Conservatory tournament lists were posted. The Freshman tournament is the largest, having between thirty and forty entries. The other three classes and the Conservatory usually furnish between fifteen and twenty-five entrants. During the early Fall of 1919, the prevailing weather conditions were con- ducive to the art of racket-swinging. The Spring of 1920, however, furnished conditions entirely adverse to any kind of out-door sport--especially tennis, where the courts were hardly dry for any two consecutive days. The end of May, however, brought some scorching days which dried off the courts and the remaining rounds were staged in rapid succession. In the Conservatory tournament, Ruby Chevalier easily proved herself master of the situation, and emerged as champion of the Conservatory. Mary Mack came through the finals of the matches scheduled in the junior lists. She then faced Kennette Griffith as runner up. After two straight bint bitterly contested sets C9-7, 6-45 Griffith was still champion of the class o 1921. Thirty-six girls were entered in the preliminaries of the Sophomore tourna- ment. Catherine Matter and Dorothy More staged the final match, which More took in straight sets. The Freshman tournament was almost as large as that scheduled by the Sophs. DeVol, Wilder, Bartlett and More came through to the semi-finals- More winning from Bartlett and Wilder from DeVol. The result of the finals was an easy victory for Wilder C6-0, 6-lj. The struggle for the championship of the College and the Conservatory was then on. The results in summary are: Wilder-Eddy Wilder-Criflith Wilder-More Winner, Wilder Winner, Wilder Winner, Wilder Score 6-4, 6-2. Score 6-2, 6-1. Score 8-6, 7-5. On the last day of final examinations, the last match of the year was staged between julia Bryant Cchampion of both College and Conservatoryb andUrsula Wilder, Freshman class champion. Miss Wilder was the victor in two straight sets C7-5, 6-25, and won the title+Champion of the Institution. . 217 Representative Women HIS year the I-li-O-I-li is following out the precedent started last year, of publishing in the Annual the pictures of the three most representative women, determined by popular vote. As a result of that vote we feel that we have found the three women who, by their personality, well rounded interests, and scholarship, best represent Oberlin. Perhaps it seems a coincidence that one of these women is President of the Y. W. C. A., the second, President of the Women's League, and the third, Vice- President of the junior Class. But what offices need such women more than these? We have three distinctly different activities of the College thus repre- sented by three outstanding women. Marian Warren, or Betty, as we know her, has made the success of Ober- lin's Y. W. C. A. her main interest this year. Along with her office as President of the Club, come duties requiring executive ability, tact, and understanding of girls, all of which Betty possesses to a high degree. Betty is a math and physics shark, too, and is majoring in both of these studies. Alice Lockwood, besides holding the responsible position of President of the League, is interested in dramatics. We had a glimpse of her dramatic ability when she took the part of Lady Mary in the Commencement Play last June. Her major of Fine Arts and her position in United Church Choir, well round out her college activities. The development of our physical powers should not be neglected. Eloise Thurston is making Physical Education her major and chief interest. She knows all about tennis, basketball, hockey and swimming. She is not solely interested in athletics, however. She busies herself in Y. W. work, and is Vice-President of the junior Class. All these women like good times and do not neglect the lighter side of college life. The secret of their popularity is their personality and ability to apportion their interets. The 1922 I-li-0-l-li takes pleasure in presenting these three women as really deserving the name Representative Women.

To men they may be merely a place to get their meals, but to most of the women they mean home. In spite of a lot of good- natured grumbling about rules and binding regulations, there is plenty of time and opportunity for good times. I-louse nights at the roller rink, sleigh rides and peppy hikes help break the monotony of the regular schedule. The annual banquet and house dance always create a pleasant excitement and are counted big events of the year. For more quiet but deeper enjoyment the custom of after-dinner programs of music and readings has been kept up in most of the houses. We thus get an oppor- tunity to hear house talent, with the rare pleasure of having faculty members contribute their talent. Basketball games between the various houses, call for the loyalty and sup- port of every house member who can possibly attend them. Even clever house yells result, and no house can be divided when it is rejoicing over the victory or mourning the defeat of its team. An immeasurably important factor in our happiness here in school is our matron, and how quietly but surely she helps us in our trials and tribulations. So college houses in more ways than one mean home. This year the I-li-O-Hi wished to give more prominence to the informal side of our boarding house life, so we have tried to show, in the snap page opposite the house picture, representative activities and people of the various houses. The plan followed out in obtaining the best snaps was to have someone collect the dozen best snaps she could get and have them in before a certain date. These pages were voted on and we announce the best page to be that handed in by Dascomb. Other pages deserving special mention are those of Keep, Lord, Pyle Inn, and the IVIen's Building. 223 N fjisf gm TALCOTT HALL Top Row: XVelch, Parr, Crowell, Kent, Smith.

Mock Convention Deep political intrigue marked the Fourteenth Quadrennial Oberlin Mock Republican National Convention, held in Finney Memorial Chapel, on the nights of May 24th and 25th, 1920. With six major candidates running strong for the favor of the convention, the outcome of the session was very much in doubt until the forces behind four of the candidates united behind a dark horse candi- date, Charles Evans Hughes, and landslided his nomination on the fourth ballot with a comfortable lead over his nearest competitor, Herbert Hoover. Calvin Coolidge was the nominee for Vice-President. Although the activities of the convention were not formally opened until Monday evening, the 24th, long in advance of that date there was a lively campaign in evidence on the campus. The Hoover faction made the first bid for support from the students and early united a strong group of supporters behind the Californian. A Hood of Lowden buttons, together with some sub- stantial literature in favor of the Illinois governor, turned the interest in his direction. A Harding Club was next formed which proved later to be a' mere off-spring of the Hoover movement. I'm for Hiram buttons and a johnson dance rallied a good backing behind the senator from California. Coolidge supporters conducted an effective campaign of education and the Wood forces rallied support to their militaristic candidate by a wild and woolly shooting scene on the campus. Debs, Poindexter and Pritchard had following in their home states, Ceorgia claiming the Socialist leader as her adopted son. 264 The grand procession of delegates opened activities on Monday evening of the convention days. In the line of march were the 492 delegates to the con- vention arranged by states, G. A. R. veterans, and the convention police force. Candidates were represented in the parade by appropriate Hoats. The Monday evening session was devoted to the adoption of the platform for the convention. Professor William J. Hutchins gave the address of welcome to the delegates in a burst of Say it with Flowers oratory. Roger L. Hubbert then introduced the Honorable Paul G. Howland of Cleveland, who served as the genial chairman throughout the convention. As he announced in his open- ing address the main issue before the body was the old question from Hamlet slightly transposed, To beer or not to beer. The convention went bone dry on its platform. The plank for universal training failed to receive the sanction of the delegates. In spite of strenuous opposition from the chairman, a plank for a bonus for college graduates, for which the professors were to be taxed, was incorporated in the platform. One of the features of the convention was the daily newspaper, The Ele- phant, which kept the public as well as the delegates informed on the doings of the convention. Its motto, Massive in News, Mighty in Editorials, Be- jeweled with Ivory, is sufficient to describe it. The presence of women in the assemblage for the first time in the history of the Oberlin mock convention was an interesting event of the gathering.
