La Encina JOHNSON HALL J C : TLCLTLCL THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY YEARBOOK OF OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE I 937 FOREWORD SELDOM IN AFTER YEARS when college-grad meets coJJege-grad will come a joy com- parable to that they knew when as undergraduates they lived, worked, and played through a college generation of intense existence. To capture, for memory ' s sake, semester by semester a cross section of that living— with paper, with picture, with paste, and with printer ' s ink- is the duty of the college annual. For that purpose, La Encina has entity. Yet this year surges forth with greater motive. Fifty years ago, in 1887, the idea of Occi- dental College became an actual, tangible, attendable ideal. Conscious of that fact, this year ' s book flings off the convention which would bind its perspective and seeks to catch hints of the whole panorama as well as of the contemporarv, fast-passing year. To Dean Robert G. Cleland for the free use of his History oi Occidental College, un- published as this goes to press, the editor is much indebted. To Mr. Ward Ritchie, who gave so willingly of his time and genius in the designing of this book, the editor expresses his gratitude. Jack Webb, Editor To the Founders of Occidental TO THOSE PERSONS WHO YESTERDAY GAVE, AND TODAY AND TOMORROW WILL GrV ' E THE LENGTH OF THEIR SHADOWS TO FORM THE MOSAIC WHICH IS THE PATTERN OF HISTORY FOR THIS COLLEGE LA ENCINA IS DEDICATED The Story of Occidental THE STORY OF OCCIDENTAL THEY WERE PROSPEROUS, RECKLESS, UNCERTAIN DAYS. Los Angeles, twenty years emerged from the chrysalis of a pueblo town, was surging through the greatest land boom and consequent chaos Southern California was ever to know. Prolific Los Angeles County mothered sixty mushroom cities, mostly hypothetical, offering to prospective eastern buvers some eighty thousand separate pieces of real estate. Three railroads were fighting for the supremacy of service to this ballyhooed Eldorado with a California Southern time table of 1 886 advertising rates of three dollars to Kansas City and seven dollars to Chicago, and the Southern Pacific meeting this with Kansas City, two dollars. Within that scene, however, were men with purpose far sterner than the gamble of their times. In one of these men, J. G. Bell, and in the failure of another collegiate institution. Sierra Madre College, Occidental found the impetus that was the seed of its origin. Devoted to his church, and foreseeing the failure of the Sierra Madre institution, }. G. Bell presented to Rev. William Stewart Young, minister of the Bovle Heights Presbyterian Church, the idea of establishing a liberal arts college under Presbyterian direction in Southern California. This was in the autumn of 1885. That the wheels of circumstance began almost immediately to move is to be gathered from a perusal of the minute books of the Board of Presbyterian Ministers of this city. In the winter of 1885 and 1886 the following ministers, viz.: Rev. John M. Bool, Rev. Wm. J. Chichester, Rev. Wm. C. Steven, Rev. Ira M. Condit, and Rev. W. S. Young and the Sessions of the Presbyterian churches then in the city, met and conferred as to the need of an institution for higher education under Presbyterian control. The result of the meetings which were held was embodied in the following resolution passed at the meeting in the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles on February 15, 1886. Moved, seconded and carried that it is the sense of this meeting that steps should be taken at once, looking towards the establishment of a Presbyterian institution of learning in the cit ' . Occidental College, un-named, unrealized, was nevertheless in the womb! Almost a year passed. Little happened in actual progress, but to two more important minds, those of Pro- fessor John M. Coyner and Samuel D. Weller, D.D., the college became a molten incentive. And in January, 1887, eleven months later, a committee of the Presbyterian Union w as appointed to draft articles of incorporation for the proposed college. These were completed on February twenty-fifth and certified by the Secretary of State at Sacramento on April 20, 1887. Today this date is celebrated as Founders Day. From the minutes of that momentous board meeting which convened on February twenty-fifth, this exciting bit may be gleaned: Mr. E. S. Field suggested the name The University of the Occident — which was lost. Mr. W. C. Stevens the name The Occidental University of Los Angeles which was carried. On a motion of W. S. Young the last vote was reconsidered and the name The College of the Pacific suggested— which was lost. Then on motion of W. J. Chichester, the name of ITie Occidental University of Los Angeles, California was again proposed and carried. In regard to the quotation, it is of interest to note that while University was first used as a part of the official title for Occidental, this was changed upon the request of the trustees and through the action of the Los Angeles Supreme Court to College on July 2, 1892. For, Occidental never has been, nor probably ever will be, a university. September 20, 1887, a corner stone was laid to what the Los Angeles Times called one of the architectural beauties of the county, the original Occidental building, located in Boyle Heights. This single structure was to serve as hall of letters, administration building, women ' s dormitory, president ' s office, library, refectory, and chapel until it burned down on January 13, 1896. Hard task-master was this college in its infancy to first president, Samuel D. Weller, who saw his dreams for the growth and advancement almost tumble with times contemporary as Southern California rushed headlong from boom days into deep mire of depression. Yet it was in his four years of service that much of the stable foundations were laid upon which the college was to grow and eventually prosper. In 1888, the McPherron Academy was absorbed as a part of Occidental College. And it was this move of creating a preparatory school that was to help succor the college through its leanest years and give to the school some of its grandest alumni. Quite different was Occidental in the years of its genesis from its present composition and generation. Its terms were three, fall, winter, and spring. Monday instead of Saturday was the holiday so that the students would not be forced to travel from their homes on Sunday. Tuition for the year amounted to fifty dollars, and all expenses for the boarding collegiate came to three hundred dollars. And according to an early catalogue, there are no 10 incidentals ... it is a mistake to give money to the student for indiscriminate use. All such money should be furnished through the President or some other member of the faculty. Each boarder will be furnished with a blank book in which to keep his or her personal account. The semester beginning October, 1888, opened with an enrollment of forty in the college and eighty-six in the academy. In 1894 the students for the institution totaled seventy-four. In i8gi President J. M. McPherron was installed in Dr. Weller ' s place only to resign three years later. It was a heavy burden, the presidency, in those days both on private purse and mind. Two years after succession to Professor McPherron in the office of president. Rev. C. N. Condit saw the physical wealth of his institution burned. A contemporary report is filled with the tragic completeness of the catastrophe: At 11:35 ' M-j a man driving toward the college across a field from the west, saw flames bursting from the roof of the tower adjoining the chimney. He whipped up his horse and gave the alarm to the inmates. Tliere was no fire apparatus about the place, but Professor Condit, assisted by members of the faculty, formed a bucket and pitcher line, but could not get water to the tower fast enough to check the flames, which spread rapidly south and east. Meanwhile a telephone message was sent to the city for aid from the Boyle Heights fire department, but the distance of the college from the city and the absence of water made it useless for the firemen to respond. It took but a few minutes to convince all that the building was doomed, so the little time remaining was devoted to removing furniture, clothing, etc. The dormitory was on the third floor, and a number of the students saved their effects by throwing them out of the windows. It being a school holiday, many were absent, and all their belongings they had left in their rooms were destroyed . . . The only students who looked cheerful were the young men of the football team who were fortunate enough to save their football-hair. Perhaps, the greatest single beneficence that grew out of the ashes of what had been Occidental College was the realization of the loyalty of the Young family to that school. To stranded students, the home of Dr. and Mrs. Wm. S. Young was thrown open as temporary haven. And for the remainder of the year classes were held in Dr. Young ' s Boyle Heights Presbyterian Church for the rental fee of 190 yards of three-ply ingrained carpet. To quote from Dr. Cleland ' s History oi Occidental College, Before the opening of the next semester, arrangements were made to lease a part of the building formerly occupied by St. Vincent ' s College, at 614 South Hill Street in Los Angeles. Here the college held its sessions until its removal to Highland Park in 1898. One wonders how many of the tens of thousands who now daily pass Seventh and Broadway realize that the alley which separates 11 the two main wings of Bullock ' s Department Store was once used as a straight-a-way by the Occidental trackmen! Personal losses borne in the fire, and the failure of the Board of Trustees to approve of his financial program for the college caused Rev. Condit to give up his office of President for a pastorate in the Northwest, and his difficult position was filled by Rev. Guy W. Wads- worth late in August of 1897. In that paragraph telling of Rev. Wadsworth ' s resignation. Dr. Cleland not only pays fine tribute, but offers a brief summation of the college ' s progress in the years of his leadership. All concerning those years is not told here for space is limited. Friends made by the school and who made it what it is today are passed over. Trials, tribu- lations, successes, and the heat of the so-called Occidental spirit are hinted at only in the mute evidence of prosaic facts. Honor, where honor is due remains a part of The History oi Occidental College . . . Now, for a flight of years. In August of 1905, Dr. Guy W. Wadsworth resigned— His devotion and effectiveness were reflected in the growth of the college during the eight years of his administration — a growth evidenced by the development of the new campus in Highland Park, the erection of three large buildings, the establishment of a substantial endowment fund, and a great increase in faculty personnel and student enrollment. When Dr. Wadsworth became presi- dent in 1897 there were eight instructors on the faculty, nine students in college and thirty- eight in the academy. When he resigned there were twenty-four members of the faculty, one-hundrcd-and-eight students in the college and one-hundred-thirty-four in the academy. In its resolution of regret over Dr. Wadsworth ' s resignation the Board said, He has followed the vicissitudes of the college through darkness as well as sunshine, sacrificing his financial and personal interests, until he was unquestionably one of the most potent factors in bring- ing Occidental College from its humble beginnings to its present commanding position. To temporarily fill the chair left vacant by Dr. Wadsworth, Rev. Wm. S. Young was appointed acting president. This position he filled with a fidelity that was his own, effectively for over a year, laboring without a salary, doing his whole duty. Then, in September, 1906, John Willis Baer assumed the reins for the college ' s guidance. Here, definitely, began a distinctive era in Occidental ' s growing. To be present at his inauguration came Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the University of California, David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University, and principal speaker, Robert E. Speer, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. But what of the college life of those times that saw three presidents in a span of two years? Wliere were found those beginnings that have established the many ties with today, through names, through institutions, and through happenings? 12 In the home of Robert G. Cleland, whieh came to be known as The House, lived a number of young men attending the college. High in the hole of a sycamore tree in the front yard nested a family of owls. From this co-incidence came the Owls who were later to become the Owl and Key fraternity, and eventually Phi Gamma Delta. Another group banded to- gether on campus assumed a popular name of Apes. Rivals they were to the Owls and later, in days far removed, rivals they remain as Alpha Tau Omega. The year 1900 emerged with eight girls in the Occidental Academy in the process of forming a secret society they chose to call the L.I.Z. Today they find perpetuation as Alphas. In igoi another group of coeds assumed the letters of D.O.T. At present their future lies in the hands of Delta Omicron Tau, though they almost became something extinct when an early annual pictured the members in daring and decollete garb which incited immediate action from a shocked faculty. Not that the Alpha ' s predecessors fared any more serenely when they saw reason to present in the college auditorium a dramatic fan fare that featured the famous athlete J. P. Hagerman surrounded in his inebriated dreams by sweethearts from a highly romantic past. To every college and university there are certain generations, particular classes, whose imprints are stamped with the imperishable die of their individuals and their activities. Such a unity was the class of 1905. Out of that graduation year came the foundation of the Asso- ciated Students Organization, the presentation of class numerals, the ivy procession at com- mencement time, and the tradition of planting each year a tree. ITiere were in that group many men whom the college remembers and still knows — Arthur Buell, Dan Hammack, Horace Cleland, Fred Schauer, Dwight Chapin, J. P. Hagerman, and Robinson Jeffers, who is now one of America ' s most outstanding poets. Reversing the accepted order from the ridiculous to the sublime, the same century ' s turning that produced the above class and its people saw marching men of quite a different mood. With a band organized to play popular funeral dirges, the night-shirt parade started tramping the streets of Highland Park to raise college spirits and the ire of the residents of the locality. Though faculty action finally banned the band, musical and night-shirt-clad, the wild souls of later yesterdays and today find solace still in spasmodic streamlined pa jama revivals. Important was the year 1911 because the Board of Trustees made three decisions, namely to discontinue the Academy, to grant the college complete freedom from Presbyterian eccle- siastical control, and to move the campus from Highland Park to its present Eagle Rock location. Certainly unique is the reason for this last move. The Highland Park home of the college was bisected by a transcontinental railroad that encountered at that particular point  3 one of the hardest uphill grades west of the Rocky Mountains. Whenever a locomotive pounded through on regular daily schedule, classes had to be halted in reverence to the greater noise. An alumnus of those undergraduate days tells that all social functions of the college were arranged to start in the evening after the eight-fifteen. In June of the year 1914 construction on the new campus was far enough under way to enable Commencement exercises to be held there. The following fall saw the beginning of the procession of neophytes and graduates that were to possess no other physical alma mater than the one they know this year of 1937. For it was then that the college emerged from youth and adolescence to its place of dignity in maturity. The school was in progress culturally. Journalism assumed a dual role in 1906 with the year book, La Encina, growing from the Occidental into an entitv of its own, and the latter assuming the newspaper complexion that it still retains. At the same time there appeared the Men ' s Glee Club which shortly won prominent recognition, though the women of the college were mute until 1913. Those years too, witnessed the production of Greek dramas created and sponsored by Dr. William D. Ward. This was definitely to the school ' s enrichment. Under the sycamore trees where foresomes now golf at the Anandale, Mrs. Julia Pipal in the spring of 1912 presented the first May fete. In 1914 Occidental College celebrated its twent ' -fifth anniversary, which was two years later than the quarter centennial birthday of the college really was, with a banquet upon th{ top floor of the old Hamburger ' s Department Store, in Los Angeles. In that prosaic and unacademic place and subsequently upon a campus that was new and as yet naked of all but the ideas of what might be ahead. Dr. Baer proposed plans for a greater Occidental. Unfortunate it was that Icarius-like the College should try its new wings at the sun up of World War. A Million Dollar Campaign — free lunches at Hotel Alexandria, publicitv shouted to the very skies, scientific techniques, efficiency results — was a strange phenomena for a college that had been slowly building stone upon stone. Tlie outcome was not a financial success. In October of 1916, eight months after the campaign ' s disintegration. Dr. Baer resigned as President of Occidental. This move was met with spontaneous and genuine regret. He is remembered for the greatness he had done in building, and giving to Occidental College such friends as Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. His administration was an era of lights and shadows. Beloved by all within and without the sanctum he controlled, John Willis Baer brought a color and a growth-spirit to Occidental that it has, fortunately, never outgrown. He was followed into the office of president by Dean Thomas G. Burt who served temporarily in that position for nearly a year until the services of Dr. Silas Evans were secured. Nineteen-hundred-and-seventeen and 1918— gallant, crazy days were these for those who went away and for those whose sword was education. German was torn from the curric- ulum of the Los Angeles city schools. Editor of the Occidental, Raymond L. Buell, wrote a moderate editorial of protest and city-wide resentment forced his resignation. Military drill replaced college athletics and a mess hall was erected on the campus which was to serve later as a general dining room until the building of the College Union. Every hour was faced with unexpected, unforeseen events as administration, faculty, and student body strained through two hard, teetering years. On a simple bronze plaque in the quiet sunlit tranquility of the south side of Johnson Hall are the names of those who never came back. WILLIAM ORR MCCONNELL, D.S.C.

KOETHEN ' iQ RAYMOND WELLES BARTON ' ll greater love hath no man than this Not even the chaotic coma of War could halt the continuity of chang e that marked Occidental as a progressive educational institution. From the cloud of those dark days the college emerged under the leadership of President Silas Evans on the accredited list of the Association of American Universities. In igi6 the major-minor plan of curricular organiza- tion was put into effect. At about the same time graduate study with its inherent potentiality of a Master ' s Degree became possible for those students who asked more of Occidental than simply a Bachelor of Arts Degree. And then too, long before John Dewy raised a confusing and evolutionary head, the college was taking preliminary steps toward the awarding of verified teacher ' s credentials by wooing the State of California for this right. In these first years on the new campus the women were possessed of greater gregarious tendency than the men and produced four embryo sororities in half that number of years. In 1915 La Cadena, the present Gamma Kappa Theta ' s, bloomed into existence to be followed the next year by Mariposa, Siempre Vive, and La Casa de Las Colinas— Zeta Tau Zeta, Beta Phi Delta and Kappa Epsilon Chi, respectively. Reckless was the Occidental Automobile Club that under the presidency of Ward 15 Fowler in 1915 projected hill-climbing races up the slope back of Fowler Hall at the pro- jectile rate of eighteen miles per hour as an extra-curricular activity. The two successive years, however, showed the student mind still to be involved in more academic pursuits as Occi- dental debaters won the intercollegiate championship of Southern California without meeting a single defeat. At the same time Dr. Ward ' s production of the Greek drama, Medea, focused favorable attention upon the campus. On September 21, 1919, Occidental College lost the physical presence, though not the spirit, of one of the dearest friends an institution was ever to possess in the death of Rev. Robert W. Cleland. An issue of La Encina published near that time captured a little of the essence of his being when the editor stated: ... there has never been a day so dark that the sunshine of his presence has not brought light and gladness to the hearts of Occidental students. He was a wise man. From the San Francisco Theological Seminary in the year of 1921 came Dr Remsen DuBois Bird to become President of Occidental College. To catch a hint of all that Dr. Bird is and all that he has done is impossible, yet in three paragraphs of Dr. Cleland ' s history is suggested some of it: . . . Dr. Remsen Bird brought to the presidency of Occidental College certain qualities most needed at the time— spontaneous enthusiasm, extraordinary energy, unusual capacity to make new friends for the college, imagination, a contagious love of beauty, and a seal for contributing for the common good. Under his leadership, surrounded everywhere by new opportunities, the college outgrew the last of its adolescence and came to maturity— changed, as Burke might have said, from the gristle of youth to the hard bone of maturity. The evidence of Occidental ' s material development during this decade is furnished by the following figures: student enrollment expanded from 506 in 1921 to 753; the faculty increased from 35 to 73; and the annual budget rose from about $82,000 to $250,000. A building program of large proportions was also carried on during these years. Through- out the first decade of Dr. Bird ' s administration he had the heartening satisfaction, indeed, of watching each year a new major structure rise upon the campus. With one or two exceptions, each of these buildings represented the devotion, as well as the generosity, of some individual or family to the college. The greater part of them were built as memorials and bear names honored and beloved in the records of the college. All of them symbolize that deep interest and sacrificial spirit which springs of Occidental ' s life. Now that time has moved another decade away, amusing is an incident concerned with the campaign to raise money for the Alumni Gymnasium in 1926. Featuring Will Rogers, noted American humorist, a banquet was given at the Biltmore Hotel for the unusual fee 16 of fifty dollars a plate. Tlie loyalty of the college ' s friends and the drawing-card that Will Rogers proved to be, drew several hundred people to the affair. Then fate began to make drastic moves. Tlie morning of the Will Rogers Dinner its namesake was rushed to the hospital for an emergency operation of major seriousness. And at practically the same time President Remsen D. Bird was ordered to bed by his physician. Still the banquet was sched- uled, fifty-dollars a plate minimum and a good many of the guests in their munificence paying a great deal more. Only the tact and good humor of John Willis Bacr, the gracious spirit of Mrs. Will Rogers who left her husband ' s bed-side to attend, and the words of William S. Hart spoken in substitution for his good friend, saved the college from becoming the target of potential ill-will. It ' s nice now to have evidence of concrete existence of the Gymnasium Will Rogers was to have helped raise. And that, incidentally was the last of the major buildings to rise before the recent depression catapulted most everything but dreams of college expansion until in 1932 when the Trustees built two additional homes upon the campus, that of the dean of faculty and the comptroller. Truly, here was evidence of a college becoming a self- sufficing personality, a sanctuary rather than a productive scholastic mechanism turning out die-cast products with the help of disinterested technicians. It is interesting to note that all the eucalyptus trees which lend their tall and graceful beauty to the present campus were planted in 1914 by architect Myron Hunt at the total cost of some five dollars. They were set out from flats as seedlings and their growth has corresponded with Occidental ' s. Through all of these days that passed under the guidance of Dr. Bird and saw the erection of a complete physical campus moved many college generations. Alike were these groups in their ardent love of alma-mater, yet as different from each other as the times they were a part of. Post-war disillusionment and the sophistication of the Menken-ite era came to Occi- dental, setting new standards of morals and of conduct, bedecking itself in blatant cynicism and creating a smart set. On the surge of the boom days Occidental rode the crest of the wave that past the middle twenties did so much to create the rah-rah convention of collegiana in the minds of the great American public. Finally, too near the present to need reminiscence came the depression. Minds were suddenly serious, summer jobs a thing remembered, preparedness a byword and a law. Now emergent from financial depths of personal and institutional worry, the Occidental student sees his college beginning to stride once more booted with attainable ambition. 17 Seeking to know of the flight of this college into its fiftieth year, and of what in that year had been accomphshed in the manner of college building, La Encina went into the president ' s office. From the administrative sanctum it emerged triumphant with a letter. Prosaic, indeed, must all words be if some of the grandness of today ' s growing, and tomor- row ' s dream are not caught in these paragraphs by Dr. Remsen Bird who in them expresses the doings of the administrators not as persons, but as a unit with a single goal. You have asked me to give you a statement with reference to the progress oi the college during this Fiftieth Anniversary year. May I say that the plan of celebration ordered by the Committee having the matter in charge began with the Commencement Program closing the year 1935-36 and carries through to the opening convocation of the year 1937-38. We set our sights with reference to the increased equipment, endowment and furnishing of the college to a general amount of % oo,ooo. It was the desire of the Administration that there should he received during this period gifts for essential buildings, endowment, campus grooming and other necessities of the college by outright subscription, bequests, trust funds, or otherwise, to an amount of % oo,ooo. At this time I may announce to you that this sum has been secured and an amount totalling considerably over the goal set without campaign and without cost. Among the outstanding significant units in connection with this planning and equipment are the following: 1. The erection of the Helen Gertrude Emmons Memorial Health Center at a cost of about % o,ooo. 2. The funds for the erection of the Belle WiJber Thorne Hall, for which an original gift was made of 1 0,000, and which has now been increased by Mr. Thome ' s generosity to 200,000. 3. The assurance that funds will be provided for the reorganization of the Central Quadrangle and the planning of the campus in the environs of Thorne Hall at an estimated cost of about 2 ,000 or ,000. 4. The addition to the campus of the property required for the athletic fields which are to be developed beyond the men ' s residence area, an acreage valued conservarively at % o,ooo, which has been presented to the college by an alumnus and trustee, Alphonzo E. Bell. 5. Addirions to endowment by the Carnegie Corporation and other friends of the col- lege to an amount of $100,000 for the permanent funds of the institution. 6. Other subscriptions and special contributions looking to the erection when the 18 fund is sufficient, of a men ' s dormitory in honor oi Dr. Roheit Freeman. This fund is not yet fuJJy subscribed but we have every expectation that in the course ot a year, that money will be sufficient to build this very much needed structure. 7. Other appropriations and support enabhng the college to curb and groom the entire periphery, in which we have the assured cooperation oi the City Council, looking to the paving ot the entire Campus Road. In addition to the improvement oi the physical plant and the increase oi endowment, this year has been an occasion oi self scrutiny and constructive criticism oi the college in all its parts. It is very important ior the Row and fulfillment oi an institution like Occidental that there shall he periodic times oi such self examination, looking to larger services and increased significance. Committees oi the Faculty are at work studying the curriculum, the standards oi admission and classification, the relationships that exist among educational forces, the responsibilities oi the college with reference to the secondary education field, and the possibilities oi the college in mutual obligations and satisfactions with reference to our larger community. I think we will look hack on this year and mark it as the occasion in which the real meaning and power and inspiration oi the small residence college shall become clearly recognized and taken advantage oi ior the development oi education, the good oi the individual and the general social satisfaction. Sincerely, Remsen D. Bird Yet inwardly, too, the administrators have been keeping careful physician ' s fingers on the student pulse. Dr. Cleland served in his capacity of Dean of the College for the first semester of 1936-1937. Then, wooed too ardently by the muse historical, he obtained a year ' s leave of absence for research at the Huntington Library. Dr. Coons, Dean of Men, cheerfully assumed a double role and filled Dr. Cleland ' s position. Bringing a wide experience and an unusual depth of understanding of the coed ' s prob- lems, Mrs. Le Boutillier entered Occidental to become the new Dean of Women, with Mrs. Pipal withdrawing to the more congenial task of Social Chairman. To Miss Brady as always flocked the timorous freshmen and confused seniors with matters of majors and minors and problems of scholasticism. Mr. McLain, true to the sturdy dependability of his name, held fast the college purse strings and in his office of Comptroller did his usual much to insure the school of a succeeding fifty years of financial stability. Whenever a particlar job was hard to catalogue but happened to involve a varying but definite degree of worry it was sent to the office of the Graduate Manager, Theodore Brodhead. 19 And for those who dimbed this year above undergraduate status there was the discovery of Miss Sarah Young and her work as Alumni Chairman. Faculty leaves have taken from Occidental this year two popular and respected presences in the persons of Mr. Thomas R. Adam of the political science department, and Dr. Alfred Y. Fisher of the English department. The more permanent lode-stone of marriage lured Miss Elizabeth Gilliland from speech courses, and Mr. Burton Richardson left the department of physics for a research nearer to his heart than teaching. But it was not all a matter of exodus, as to the science laboratories and mathematics class- rooms came Mr. V. Bollman and Professor Charles Alexander, while in speech education Miss Gilliland was replaced by Dr. Fleda Brigham. Psychology, now emerged from curricular growing pains into a full-fledged major, found a new chief protagonist in Dr. Wilbur Hulin. The queen science, philosophy, revamped herself, too, upon the refreshing provocation of Mrs. Cornelia Le Boutillier ' s assumption of teaching duties. Balanced on a see-saw of divergent opinions, student body president Guy Nunn, vice- president Alice McDowell and the Executive Council bounced through a tranquil season of student activity and politics with no greater upset approached than the bomb shell possibility .of men and women undergraduates being seated side by side during compulsory chapels. Besides being student body president, Guy Nunn found time within the same year to captain the football team, be elected to Phi Beta Kappa and win a Rhodes ' Scholarship. Vice-presi- dent Alice McDowell achieved both a reputation for gracefully bustling, and making of every A.S.O.C. affair a smoothly turned out product. Helen Hornberger, secretary, wrote a readable hand, attended to all student-body correspondence and hibernated between Execu- tive Council meetings in the music chapel. In February came elections again, and the presidency moved once more to the white house on the corner in the person of Charles Hutchins, while the eminence of vice-presi- dency went to Mary Lou Carr. The scribe ' s duties become those of Catheryn Riseborough, but theirs is a reign that belongs to next year. To Janet Anderson, Peggy Houghton, Virginia Hedges, and Phyllis Cochran, as officers of the Associated Women Students, came the call of the aesthetic as they sponsored the Procession of Lanterns, the benevolence of the Big Sister plan and the May Day Fete. Once they did lower themselves to masculine cooperation and decorated the College Union for the Coed Hop. With pulchritude and personality running an unprecedented high, hazel-eyed Alice McDowell, brunettes Mary Derthick and Peggy Houghton, and titian-haired Martha Messick vied for the honor of May Queen with the prize going to Martha Messick. 20 Under the smiling leadership of President Jerrj ' Isett, the Associated Men Students marched resolutely each Wednesday to compulsory chapel, put over with huge success a Men ' s High School day, a Men ' s Stag and diverse smaller activities for men only. Lack of ardent belligerency on the part of either of the lower classes made it hard for their elder brothers to decide upon the supremacy of either class other than that evidenced one sunny autumn afternoon when the neophytes lethargically did win a muddy tug-o-war. Because of the example set by President Fred Lindsley ' s perspiring brow, the Freshmen raised and guarded an adequate Pomona bonfire which fortunately proved to be a truly prophetic funeral pyre for the blue-feathered sagehen. More luckless was the sophomores ' plight who, under the dominance of President Bob Ryf, made an unorthodox raid upon the Pomona rally fire only to be caught in abundant numbers and treated to tonsorial experiments by enthusiastic amateurs. The Junior Class rested well through the presidency of Charles Hutchins, and it is even whispered that they as a unit indulged in two social affairs, a Junior-Freshman dinner dance and the Junior-Senior Prom. But here it is intimated that the impetus for those two functions came from the vitality of other classes while the Juniors remained as usual sophisticatedly inert. Besides the conventional ditch-day, and commencement time activities, the Seniors were caught, capped and gowned early this year in April, in fact, to take part in the academic pro- cessions that marked much of the color in Founder ' s Week of this fiftieth year. They marched as a body behind President Arthur Hagen. Exactly how mighty the pen may be on the Occidental campus is questionable, but The Occidental under editor Bill Burt tasted public opinion as to favorite swing bands, fought a few bumps out of the road west of the library, and engaged in a presidential straw vote that was as embarrassing as the Literary Digest ' s. Active in exciting student interest in the paper were political columnist Bob Barrett, society editor Betty Schweitzer, and sport ' s editor Don McKenny. In February, James Krulish was elected into editorship with the only obvious change that of the social column passing from Delta to Zeta hands. That the two editors ' hearts were in their work was displayed by the more frequent large issues of eight instead of six column editions. Casting itself free from all previous tradition, taking a historical theme, assuming an informal mood, La Encina promised to be at least original in both form and context. Taking the prerogative that his editorship gave him. Jack Webb watched his grades plunge a whole grade point within a half of semester and then announced that he had a book that was dif- ferent. To the fact of this annual ' s physical completeness, he is indebted beyond all measure to three particular people: assistant editor, Jane Frampton; art editor, Peggy Houghton; and 21 secretary, Bettie Dean Hart all of whom gave confidence, counsel, and labor in the times when these were most needed. Others on a staff kept small that it might be efficient were, Betty Merchant, Lee Campbell, and Henry Swinerton, while the advertising was handled by Cyril Kerrin, Armour Morris, and Barbara Morris. Nor could this book have gone to press without the aid of those two indefatigable assistants: Mary Cozzen ' s and Baily Abbot ' s Fords. What greater small glory could come to Martha Messick, and Vincent Jorgenson, grad- uating seniors of the Fiftieth Year Class, than to leave their undergraduate days behind as respective presidents of championship glee clubs. Surely one of the finest tributes to Occi- dental ' s celebration of a half century of progress was the culminating victory met late in April in San Diego when these two organizations swept to first places in the Southern Cali- fornia Glee Club songfest. Nor was that all; rather it was only the termination of a highly successful season which for the men included an impressive Home Concert built around Dr. Charles Frederick Linds- ley ' s interpretation of King Robert of Sicily, numerous radio broadcasts over local and national hookups and a rollicking, singing trip from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon with concerts too numerous to mention, lire women, though less transient, were, however, no less mute as they traveled from Santa Barbara to San Diego keeping certain home fires burning while the male songsters were gone with their wind. As the final musical spectacle of the year, too late, unfortunately, for pictures in La Encina, presented in May in the Greek Bowl was colorful, riotously song-full Smetana ' s The Bartered Bride. Leads in the production were taken by Cora Burt, William McClintock, William Hunt, Martha Messick, Eugene Bell, William MacDougall, Vincent Reed, Donald McKenny and Meryl Corn. Against a native green outdoor setting the kaleidoscope of peasant costumes and lilting music and ballet and folk dancing surpassed most every expectation. Under the executive leadership of Carter Yates, the direction of Kurt Baer and the roof of Occidental ' s Little Theatre, the Oxy Plavers spent a diverse, productive season. First, early in the fall, braving the rush and swirl of Greekdom ' s high-peak of social affairs, they presented The Queen ' s Husband with plaudits for Kenneth Sheets who played the King, timorous and lion-hearted, and June Hosmer who was his wife, and merely lion-hearted. Later on in search of new campus talent an evening of one-act plays was presented and while not quite as smooth as Noel Coward ' s Tonight at Eight-Thiity its entertainment was far more diverse. But with a real half-moon among the props, and a warm spring evening as part of the scene, the players blazed much color into their season ' s closing with a sweeping production of William Shakespeare ' s The Merry Wives oi Windsor. Amazingly good scenery, perfect acoustics and some grand lighting effects all helped the outstanding bits of acting make the 22 giant humor of the production as artistic a thing as has been played in the Greek Bowl. Assum- ing the role he once so enjoyed as drama critic, the editor pauses to fling orchids for charac- terization to Roy Littlejohn as Falstaff and Willow Bray and Lita Houston as the merry wives. WTien into the rich but almost forgotten fields of oratory and debate come some forty odd undergraduates prospecting for honor and exciting extra-curricular activity, it can be little less than an amazing tribute to the Occidental speech department. Attacking contemporary subjects four members of the Occidental debate team traveled to Stockton to compete against Brigham Young, Montana State, Utah State, U.C.L.A. and Cal-Tech and to be defeated in the semi-finals by the University of Nevada. In the party were Kring, McCune, Prochaska, Gassaway and Coach Melekian. Don ' t touch me. I am Crazy Horse! night after night filled the air of the Phi Gam basement and distraught Fiji minds the house over, but it was all to good purpose and late in March, Carter Yates won the Southern Conference Interpretive Reading Contest. Mean- while, down on Armadale Avenue gentle Deltas were sighing to The Ancient Beautiful Things and Willow Bray captured the parallel women ' s honors. Gregariously, the fraternal herds on campus moved through fairly peaceful pastures even though with Psi Delta Chi a thing prehistoric, the men felt a little overwhelmed by the larger number of women ' s houses. But what they lacked in quantity they decided to make up for not so much in the quality of their persons but in what they might do. And so, the Alpha Taus won a cup and an inter-fraternal glee club contest. The Kappa Sigmas chose four to sing their way to quartet supremacy and a hundred dollar prize. S.A.E. captured the intramural oratorical contest. But it was the Fijis who startled the whole campus with their sudden single surge of altruistic and intellectual philanthropy when they presented a lecture on art featuring one of their most prominent alumni, Rockwell Kent. Vestiges of Greekdom ' s more prosaic existence were seen in a rather smooth dance presented by the male conglomerate at the Vista del Arrovo Hotel in Pasadena, and in their synchronized Hell weeks that improved the condi- tions of every house, if not every pledge. Much of the good cooperation of the Greeks was due to the tact of Charles Bosworth, Interfraternity Council president. Invoking not so many diverse muses, the sororities glided through a year that bespoke of a gay social whirl, sundry teas for faculty and mothers, two very long evenings of pledge presentation, and a romantic, though the night was much too cold, Pan Hellenic dance at the Annandale Country Club. Reigning over the six sorority presidents that formed the Pan Hellenic Council was Jane Kieser. 23 THE SPORTING FANCY In the very middle of the nineties, during the year of 1895, Occidental ' s varsity foot- ball squad averaging one hundred and fifty pounds of weight won the championship of Southern California. The rivals ridden over included U.S.C., Chaffey College, Whittier College and Throop Institute (now the California Institute of Technology). On that first conquering team played three Ramsaur brothers, and fitting is it in Occidental ' s fiftieth year that the freshman footballers should be captained by another generation ' s Jack Ramsaur. Charles Bazata, Dean Cromwell, Horace Cleland, Dwight Chapin, J. P. Hagerman, Owen Bird, Fred Thompson, Chester Bradbeer, William C. Allen, Drury Wieman, Tliaddeus Jones, Harry Kirkpatrick, Sid Foster, Sam McClung, Arthur Shipkey, Ralph Deems— these are but names, and names but tags to memories. And while the student of today may pass a hur- ried, unknowing eye over them, into the eyes of other generation ' s grand-stand quarterbacks and team mates will come a glow of warm recognition of rememberings of football victories when uniforms were home-made, when every yard gained was gained by line plunging, when Oxy cinder-paths encouraged winged feet to phenominal glory in the days of Peter Poole, trainer; and when State championships were chiefly a matter of defeating the University of California. TTie Oxy tiger is no longer the sabertooth it was in the days when California colleges and universities were young, but still into every athletic team is inculcated the fire and the spirit, the fight and the sport that burned in those yesterdays. Football of 1936, chaotic, colorful and grandstand filling, rushed through a season that heard cheers in two languages as the team played conference games and a Tnatch in Mexico City. Occidental o U.C.L.A. 21 Occidental o San Diego 7 Occidental 19 University of Mexico 6 Occidental o Whittier 18 Occidental 32 La Verne 7 Occidental o Redlands 10 Occidental 7 Cal. Tech. 7 Occidental o Santa Barbara 27 Occidental 14 Pomona 6 More definitely consistent in the heads up, aerial, wide-open brand of football played than scores would indicate, Occidental ' s Bengal owed much of the yards it made to the 24 power of Dave Benioff, the passing of Don Peters and Aram Rejebian, the slipperiness of Tex Chisson and the gargantuan agihty of Glen Sycamore Groves. When on deep defen- sive, many a wide end run was halted by the sweeping tactics of George Ingles and Rex Huddleston. Captain Guy Nunn, too, found a roving line commission more palatable than his previous year as center. Two of the smallest audacities of the squad, Johnny Carmona and Glen Seekins, replaced him at the key position. Losing the Jittle-big game of the year against Pomona by a score of thirteen to nothing, the Occidental freshman concluded a season with score results as varied as the varsity ' s. Winner of the most valuable freshman player award, Captain Ramsaur had outstanding assistants in Bob McDowell and Bob Smith. Exciting is the tale hoopsters tell as the basketball season closed with four teams so close that neither Occidental nor Redlands regretted too much their tie for third place, over- whelmed as they mutually were by the two behemoth machines of San Diego State and Whittier College. Occidental 39 Pomona 22 Occidental 31 Redlands 35 Occidental 38 Loyola 42 (non-conference) Occidental 65 Santa Barbara 36 Occidental 76 Santa Barbara 45 Occidental 58 Cal.

Tech. 30 Occidental 42 San Diego 46 Occidental 40 San Diego 43 On the team that raced down some fourteen floors to fine glories and small despairs played four seniors who will be sadly missed. Captain Hershy Lyons, forward; Art Hagen, all-conference guard; Bill MacDougall, guard; and Herb Tweedy, center. Crowded for space, some is taken here to give recognition to the fast, smooth-playing of Ivan McCloskey, junior, who managed too often to miss picture appointments for La Encina. 25 Losing only four games, and two of those to undefeated San Diego neophytes, Oxy ' s freshman basketball team romped to second place in the Southern Conference. High-point man on the Occidental team was Bill Walton who fought hard for that honor on a squad which boasted of more high school captains and stars than Occidental has seen in a good many years. Potentially one of the best intercollegiate ball clubs on the Pacific Coast, the Oxy horse- hiders early in the season developed a state of lethargy from which they never quite emerged. • And so with spring fever replacing spring practice, the baseball team owed its single scin- tillation to Captain Hersh Lyons whose batting average of 450 and often phenomenal pitching gave the team its single vestige of serious purpose.

Around and within the cinder path, the Occidental track men dug in spikes with re- sults and endeavors sufficient to focus the spotlight of public attention upon them. It all began with a handicap meet with U.S.C. which the Bengals had the audacity to win. But then, what could the Trojan do against 440 relay team that ran 42.8 seconds composed as it was of Kilday, Middleton, Johnson and Langsdorf? Against 350 athletes from thirteen universities, colleges and junior colleges, Occidental emerged with top honors in the open and second in the college division. Relays again proved to be the chief emotion evoking events where the excitements of the crowd were concerned, with the glorious surprize of the mile baton team ' s winning first place. 26 At the Long Beach Relays came more first places, including the annual Southern Pacific A.A.U. Relay championships and some notable achievements by the distance men. In the triangular meet with U.C.L.A. and Santa Barbara. Occidental ran U.C.L.A. a thrilling sec- ond in the most colorful meet of the year. A dual meet sent Pomona down in defeat, and in the Oxy-Tech-Whittier event which occurred on the Patterson Field the scores of eighty-one for Occidental, fifty-six for Whittier, and twenty-four for California Institute of Technology speak all too clearly their own story. By losing the San Diego seventy-eight-and-one-half to fiftv-two-and-a-half, Captain Jerry Isett ' s track team lost the Southern California Conference. Then they put their spikes in suit cases, and to the mid-west and to the east-coast went Coach Joe Pipal, Captain Jerry Isett, Claude Kilday, Stan Langsdorf, Walt Middlcton, and Paul Sampsell to carry galloping school colors through the Kansas and the Penn. State re- lays. Only in Kansas they were sick, these sun-baked southern Californians, and not very much happened. But at Penn. State they were well again, well enough to place second to Texas in both the loo yard and 440 relays over such notable competition as Army, Columbia, Princeton and Dartmouth. Emerging from any category that might tag them minor sports by virtue of their formid- able opponents, the Occidental swimming team was spot-lighted throughout California this season as they traveled and met U.C.L.A., Stanford, San Jose State, Athens Club of Oakland, Hollywood Athletic Club, numerous junior colleges and a full conference schedule. Swimming, paddling, splashing their way into special mention in this issue of La Encina were Russel Bay, back stroke; Baily Abbot, diver; Henry Wood, Jim WTiitney, Darrel Miller and Howard McGrath, relay team; and James W-Tiitsell, who provided a certain aquatic ver- satility by diving, swimming or relaying wherever and whenever needed. The tennis team, with an abandonment to the leisure of its sport that is every gentle- man ' s perrogative, lost most of its matches against unusually strong competition. Playing a smooth and fairly consistent top man was John Houghton, while Charles Bosworth, Bill Heideman, William McClintock, James Kruelish and Frank Hardison donned white shirts and slacks often enough to keep equally white balls bouncing back and forth over nets on every afternoon when the sunshine and air proved too nice for scholastic endeavors. Finally finding adequate home lands amidst the lovely surroundings of the Annandale Country club, the varsity golf team early in May settled down to a month of collegiate com- petition. Warren Fellingham, Frank Hardison, Glen Dumke and Virgil Sandifer offered strong opposition to all comers— though this last statement may be a slight exaggeration with only one match having been played, that a tie with Pomona, as La Encina goes to press. 27 Pictures of Occidental Boyle Heights September 20, 1887, the cornerstone of this building was laid in Boyle Heights. On January 13, 1896 it burned to the ground. 31 Hall of Letters, Highland Park In the fall of 1898 the college opened sessions here in Highland Park. 32 ..-s sMiiv?.: The Library, Highland Park In the foreground of this picture is found evidence of the car hues which, with the Santa Fe raihoad track that bisected the campus, finally caused Occidental ' s removal to Eagle Rock. 33 The Highland Park Campus A view of Occidental College from the north when it existed as a complete unit in Highland Park. 34 Occidental Academy This is the Occidental Academy which gave to the school many of its most prominent alumni.
