([[ (Be © F f: iix€ EDGAR ODELL LOVETT, President d m F SCI iXf€ TO RICE NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE OR Rice, I am proud of your worth and your faith and your will. I rejoice in your youth and your strength and your hope. However greatly I may regret the occasion, I welcome the opportunity of writing a word of well-wishing as you advance a stage further towards the workshop of the world. I trust that before proposing to enter the workshop, all of you will be prepared for the practice of a profession, and this hope for you I can entertain all the more confidently, because, even smce you entered college, the range of the learned professions, old and new, has widened, and indeed may be expected constantly to widen with the diversification of civili2;ation if not with the unification of peoples. Such specialised preparation I wish for you not only be- cause it will increase your usefulness in the workshop of the world, but because consciousness on your part of intensive skill will en- hance your satisfaction in working in the world. And when you enter that workshop you will enter with the same spirit that has animated you here, for there as here, you will be willing to learn, you will master your work, and you will take responsibility that only willingness to learn and master in work can bring. There as here, you will find adaption and adjustment antecedent to success- ful adventure. There as here, competition will be relieved by comradeship, individual triumph tempered to the trials of the team. There as here, you will find a good name, friends, and the cap- taincy of your own soul, priceless byond all price. There as here, you will rejoice in the youth and the strength and the hope, and be proud of the worth and the faith and the will, of Rice.

C[ ( © IP 11 1X (2 Dr. Lindsey Blayney All Rice Institute was grieved to learn during the first term that Lindsey Blay- ney, scholar and soldier, who had con- tributed so much to the advancement of the Rice Institute was to leave the uni- versity. Altho the students and friends of the Institute regretted this move from the standpoint of the interests of Rice, they were proud that he had been called to a broader field of service. In his new position as President of the Texas State College for Women, Dr. Blayney carries the well wishes of the entire Institute, its present members and its alumni. Lindsey Blayney, Ph.D., LL.D., had been at Rice since its opening in 1912 and was one of the first two full pro- fessors of the Institute. Since arriving at Rice, he was appointed American Albert Kahn Fellow to India and China (1914-15). In 1918, he volunteered in the army, serving two years overseas and returning a Lieutenant-Colonel with wound chevron and eight decorations. Dr. Blayney has written extensively on literary, historical, and cultural subjects. Among his books are Thomas Moore, American Ideals and Tra- ditions, The Liberal Arts College, et cetera. He is now editing, with the collaboration of other American authorities, The College anci Liberal Learning. Dr. Blavnev is also well known as a lecturer. Doctor Harold z i,bert Wilson When Dr. Wilson left Rice last summer to become Professor of Physics at the University of Glascow, the Institute bid farewell to an eminent physicist; a man who built a high inspiration and a certain prestige into the cornerstone of the ideals of Rice. Since 1912, Dr. Wilson had been a distinguished member of the Rice group, and with him go the Institute ' s best wishes, tinged with regret that we can not still have the benefit of his presence. Dr. Wilson attended the LIniversity of Berlin; Cambridge University, where he received the degree of M.A., and London LIniversity where he earned his D.Sc. Following this, he was Professor of Physics at King ' s College, London; an d later Professor of Physics at McGill LIniversity, Montreal. During the war, he was Technical Expert on anti-submarine devices at the Naval Experimental Station, Connecticut. He was a member of the French Royal Society, and is noted as the author of manv works on scientific subjects. r- ;$ mm W i h W 1 . 1 1 ' (DL Q F 11U€ DOCTOR RADOSLAV ANDREA TSANOFF The student body of Rice are wont to praise the faculty of the Institute and regard the high caHber of these men as the most vital factor that has given Rice a proud position in the educational world. In order to present more con- cretely the work that these men are doing, the Campanile has, for the first time, reserved several pages tor mention of outstanding events of the year bearing on the faculty. Dr. TsanofF ' s newly published work. The Py-oblems of Imrnortality, is one of the various books that have been published by Rice faculty members. It has stepped into immediate favor and represents a distinct contribution to the sub- ject which Dr. TsanofF has made his field of work. Dr. Tsanofi discusses his problem fully and capably, as is his wont, reinforcing his arguments by com- pleted references to the doctrine of immortality in other great religions besides Christianity. To students of this subject, and all who are interested in the study of religion, the work makes a valuable reference. It is, for all its depth of thought, an extremely interesting volume to read. In addition to this work, Dr. Tsanoff is the author of other books and several articles. DOCTOR ROBERT GRANVILLE CALDWELL Students of History 300 who have fallen under the spell of Dean Caldwell ' s interesting presen tation of American history will undoubtedly storm the book- stores when the first volume of Dr. Caldwell ' s new book comes off the press this summer. This work, A Short History 0 the American People, is to be published in several volumes and represents an intensive study of American history. It will discuss the subject more from the economic and social side than from the standpoint of political cievelopments. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION LECTURES An important contribution made by Rice to the mtellectual life of Houston has been the Sunday afternoon lectures given at the Amphitheater by different members of the Rice faculty. Some fourteen of these lectures have been given during the winter and spring term for the last several years. They attract a large and interested group of town people, Rice students and faculty. The various faculty members on the program give an hour ' s lecture on some phase of their particular subject. As they become better known, the lectures will undoubtedlv grow in popularity.

For the honors of Vice President, Miss Louie Lee Berry, ' 25, of Houston, was elected by a large majority. The only real contest and sign of interest in the election was manifested in the race for Councilman-at-Large. Rumors that the co-eds had organized behind the standard of Miss Katherine Wood, popular co-ed leader, was met by counter demonstration in favor of Harvey Smith, of Temple, Texas. Smith was elected by a safe majority. Extreme languor and docility char- acterized the voting. The usual electioneering and political speeches was entirely missing. Old students said the election was the slowest and deadest the school has ever held. The remainder of the ticket was unopposed and the following candidates stepped into office: Treasurer ot the Student ' s Association, Clarence A. Johnson; Editor- in-Chief of the Campanile, Chauncey Stewart; Business Manager of the Campanile, Lovett Abercrombie; Editor of the Thresher, Jack Glenn. Glenn was also elected Yell Leader. Business Manager of the Thresher, R. V. Logsdon; Managing Editor of the Thresher, Mercer Ligram. During the year. Miss Katherine Wood, ' 25, was appointed to the position of Associate Editor of the Campanile, no one having been nomi- nated during the spring elections.

The Queen received her retinue in a picturesque Court set among the moss covered trees of the Campus. Her Majesty ' s costume was of white satin touched with old lace while the court train bore a beautiful flower design. The entire court was dressed in the modern style and all types of gowns were displayed. When the Queen had ascended the throne, the herald announced the Duch- esses of the different classes.

Miss Fitch and Miss Marguerite Smith gave The Duchesses solo dances. The Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society entertained the Court with a reception in the Commons at the close of the regular program. A part of the program was the award of the College Woman ' s Club cup to the best all round girl of Rice. Miss Sybilmarie Denniston received this honor. It was an honor quite worthily bestowed for Miss Denniston ' s activities covered all phases of the school life. As member of the Dramatic Club, President of the Writing Club and the P.A.L.S., Associate editor of the Thresher and the Cam- panile, and as a student. Miss Denniston served Rice faithfully and well.

II IXc(E Commencement 1924 Sunday morning, June the eighth, nineteen hundred and twenty-four marked the cul- mination ot four years work on the part ot the class of ' 24 assembled in the quad- rangle for the exercises of Rice Institute ' s ninth annual Commencement. To the in- herently beautiful ceremony that characterizes Rice Com- mencement programmes there was added this year almost ideal weather. As the sombre clad seniors and faculty members marched solemnly from the Physics building to their places before the dais in the Sallyport, the spectator could not help but realize more fully than ever before the true meaning of the University. In this stately scene, and away from the externalities of college life with its play and its contests which were relegated to the background, the function of the University as a serious training school for later life was emphasized. Verily the scene was one to be long remembered by the seniors and their friends; a stim- ulus to increased endeavour on the part of the undergraduates. Following the Academic procession and the traditional Rice Commencement musical numbers, Doctor William States Jacobs, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Houston, delivered the Baccalaureate Sermon. The subject. The Phi- losophy of Peace pointed the way for realization of the fruits of the graduate ' s University training. The following dav, Monday the ninth, Doctor Charles William Dabney, m ' iMd m Si rw yiin TV I CL m F LlOl lTc€ LL.D., of Houston, formerly President of the University of Cincinnati, gave the Commencement address. In a scholarly and interesting talk, Dr. Dabney traced the course of the two trends of thought in the world, the Eastern and the Western, and their respective contributions to mankind. Of particular interest in this message on The U iiversily and Progress was his analysis ot the part that science plays in the world. The conferring ot degrees was of greatest moment to the graduates and their friends. One hvmdreci and six received degrees; one hundred and six Rice men and women broke the physical bounds that united them with each other and with Rice, but they carried with them a spiritual bond with Rice that can never be broken; a knowledge and a spirit, which, it properly used, may carry them to greater service in the world on the broader horizon. The Garden Party Doctor and Mrs. Lovett entertained the Graduates with a reception on the lawn of the Administration Buikling Quadrangle the atternoon ot Commence- ment day. Along the memorable cloisters of Rice, the newly made Bachelors ot Arts and Science greeted a large throng of friends anxious to congratulate the members of the class of ' 24. At the head of the receiving line was Doctor and Mrs. Lovett, Doctor and Mrs. Dabney, Doctor and Mrs. Jacobs. During the course of the afternoon, delicious punch was served and an orchestra made the joyous affair even more perfect. d iRt Q F 5C| t%c€ The Final Ball 1924 Hmtv Klolz Miss Clara Becke The last of the senior festivities of the Class of nineteen hundred and twenty- four opened with the grand march led by the Class President, Harry L. Klotz, and Miss Clara Becker. Simplicity and cool freshness were the note of the decorations. The Commons was turned into a huge daisy garden. Great bouquets of Shasta daisies tied with white tulle hung from the chandeliers and the wall lights. When the members of the Senior Class of nineteen twenty-four hear Taint goin ' rain no more, it will undoubtedly bring to their minds the perfect party which closed their careers as undergraduates.

' J P . d © ii € The Senior American 1924 The Senior American of the class of nineteen twenty-four will probably go down in the annals of Rice Institute as being one ot the most delightful and unique that has been given by any Senior Class of the Uni- versity. The cool morning hours were gaily passed on the roof of the Rice Hotel. A most delicious breakfast was served, after which the guests, stimulated by Harley Berg ' s Orchestra, danced until well past the noon hour. The Senior Banquet 1924 On the night ot June seventh, the Senior class of Rice Institute, 1924, together with Dr. and Mrs. EdgarOdellLovett, andMr. and Mrs. Dudley Jarvis, the Presi- dent of the Rice Alumni Association, gathered in the Court of the Brazos for the Senior Banquet. Black and white were the colors of the decorations; the place cards pictured co-eds and ' eds in regal cap and gown. Candles of black and white glowed softly, and the blossoms on the table were white and were tied with black tulle. Dr. Lovett addressed the class after dinner and Mr. Dudley Jarvis welcomed the seniors into the folds of the Rice Alumni. Harry Klotz, Class President for the year, was elected permanent President, and Arthur Field Heard, the Secretary, was elected permanent Secretary-Treasurer of the Class of ' 24. Mr. Jim C. Locke, Marie Longino-Davis, and Robert Reed, the Senior Ameri- can Committee, were in charge of this affair. The Cramner Club Senior Breakfast One of the most delightful affairs of Senior week was the annual Cramner Club breakfast for the Senior class. For the occasion. Autry House was transformed into a scene reminiscent of old world scholasticism as the seniors wore their somber academic caps and gowns. This entertainment immediately preceded the com- mencement exercises. (IIp:©F 5r|I-l (S[ R AND Quill Banq uet Rice journalists ot today and yesterday were entertained May twenty-seventh, nine- teen twenty-four, with a banquet given by the Rice Rand Quill Association. The R and Quill embleni; like the athletic R is awarded for service on the college publications. Wm. Nathan, first business manager ot the Campanile, and W. M. Standish, first editor of the Thresher, told of the early days ot thosepublications while Jack Glenn, Thresher editor ' 23- ' 24, and John oTnh icV. e.,Campanile editor ' 23, brought the story up to the present. At a business meeting held after the banquet, James Markham was elected President, Sarah Lane, Vice President, and R. T. Wilbanks, Secretary-Treasurer. The Alumni Reunion The largest number ot ex-students to attend the annual Thanksgiving Alumni activities visited Rice November twenty-seventh. Nearly two hundred old stu- dents were present. Alumnae members of the two girl ' s literary clubs, the Elizabeth Baldwin Lit- erary Society and the Pallas Athene Literary Society, were entertained with a breakfast by the clubs. The E.B.L.S. affair, which was the Decennial Alumnae breakfast, was given at the Rice Hotel and was featured by talks trom the former members of the society. The Thanksgiving motif was carried out at the P.xA.L.S. breakfast held at the LIniversity Club. At 10:30 the members met for their annual business meeting and elected the following officers; Gaylord Johnson, ' 21, president; Helen Weinberg, ' 17, vice- president; Alice Dean, ' 16, and Clarence Wademan, ' 21, as members of the execu- tive board of the association. .Although the Bears defeated Rice in a heartbreaking tootball game, the score ot 17 to 9 and the fight displayed by the team, indicated to the interested old stu- dents that the school is on the up-grade in athletics. Coach Heisman, whose selec- tion as coach had been warmly commended at the morning meeting, addressed the visiting members during the entertainment at Autry House given at 8 o ' clock. Two plays were presented by the Dramatic Club during the evening. Dancing con- cluded the very interesting program; one that brought the old students once more into the spirit of Rice. i fm.

It was here that Rice was taught her first lesson by its new Head Coach, John W. Heisman, who pointed out our big defect, the lack of tradition. It was here, also, that the student body showed that they were beginning right there to estab- lish those traditions. Yea Rice, Let ' s Go. Pull together. Pep Parades After those Pep meetings. Rice students showed their ability to the City of Houston to yell like Hell anti then some. No doubt the traffic cops of the city wish that Pep Parades had never been invented for on the night before each game the streets became a solid mass of yelling Rice Rooters, which resulted in a block of traffic throughout the entire downtown district. Ct p: © IP Sll l%(€ The Rice Band This year the band was the largest ever at Rice and performed better than any Rice band of the past. Just another hnk in the estabhshment of those true Rice traditions. Its appearance on the field during the games was very excellent and compared favorably with the other college bands of the State. Rice Rooting Section Rice, under its new coaching staff, has started out in the right way to establish traditions. During the year, the Rice teams always got the support of the entire student body no matter whether the team won or lost. After the A. and M. and the Baylor games, the rooters gathered around the dressing room and cheered (beg pardon. Aggies, yelled) in a manner to leave no doubt that the efforts of the team was appreciated, even though the score went against us. Jack Glenn and his assistants, Hussa and Eiser, built a real rooting section. m .v h 1 TJ. - f ' . SI I, ' ■ m m m S ' ' 0f c[ mF 5riiiX € prize winner for costumes. Slime Night Shirt Parade Rice has officially opened. Proof — the worst traffic jam in years, helpless traffic cops; yelling, singing, screeching freshmen in paja- mas and night shirts; grinning sophs with paddles and straps. This is the way a local newspaper tried to describe the Slime Night Shirt Parade. So it was. That night the Slimes tried to raise the root off the Rice Hotel and all Houston with their voices. It may be said that the race was well run. The Sophs seemed to have erred in their se- lection of the leader for the Slimes who was no other than the best high school half miler In the United States last year, Slime Brunson, lit Houston. As a result, the Sophs had to cut blocks and use all efforts available to get their licks at the Slimes as they paraded. No doubt this year ' s Slime parade was a Some wore pajamas, some B. V. D. ' s; some hideously colored costumes; and the most of them almost nude. Good Friday Remembrance of Friday will long dwell in the thoughts and minds of the Class of ' 28 because of the wonderful varieties of costumes they were forced to don on those dates. These costumes, thoughtfully prepared by the Sophs, made up in vividness what they lacked in aesthetic beauty. Bright green ties and red suspenders were the most common items of note but costumes such as the one pictured above were quite numerous. The girls of the class also dressed in fantastic garb and each one carried some relic ot their toy playing days. Ct CD F H IXf€ E. B. L. S. P ' ooTBALL Trophies To increase college loyalty by increasing interest in football and to encourage the building of a championship team, a ham- mered silver football, resting on a silver and ebony base, has been prepared by the Eliza- beth Baldwin Literary Society and is held in readiness for the time when Rice ' s ambi- tion will be realized. The inscription on the base reads, Inspired by the Heisman of 1924, this trophy is presented by the E.B.L.S. of 1925 to the first conference football team. The trophy is now in Dean Caldwell ' s office. At an enthusiastic mass meeting addressed by Coach Heisman, silver loving cups were presented to the lettermen of ' 24, and a siK ' er football was given to Coach Heisman. Miss Mary Trammel!, distinguished for her zeal in the trophy enterprise, presented the mementos. Coach Heisman and Captain Smith re- sponded for the team. The Football Baxqj-iet The election of Dick Terrell to the captaincy of the ' 25 football team, and the award of 14 letters for loyalty, ability, and cooperation in football, featured the banquet rendered the Owl football team by the R Association. Students, alumni, and friends of Rice attended the banquet which officially closed the football career of the ' 24 squad. Both Mr. E. A. Peden, and A. S. Cleveland, Trustees of the Institute, addressed the diners. Mr. Cleveland served as toastmaster. Coach Simons of the Central High team pledged his support to Rice and Gaylord Johnson, representing the Rice alumni, spoke on the need of cooperation between undergraduates and alumni. The Owl assistant coaches, Nicholson and Bedenk, spoke of their appreciation of the support they had received from the team and from Houston in general. An interesting feature of the meeting was the enthusiasm which greeted the announcement that Joe Bedenk, line coach, would again coach the line in 1926. Mr. Heisman, the principal speaker of the evening, talked in a general way on the reasons why he loved Rice and Houston. His praise of the assistance he had received during the season was unstinted. In announcing the letter awards, he e.xplained that the small number given was for the purpose of making the letter more to be coveted in the future. fc r ? k Nfc. K J m m mm d m IP d 11 (Si The Y.W.C. A. Wedding On Friday, October 17, a delightful compliment to the new girls of Rice was given by the Y. W. C. A. m their annual wedding. Miss New Girl, Jessamine Lewis, was married to Mr. Old Man, Miss Hazel Cannan. The rooms were a bower of coral vines and ferns. Preceding the ceremony. Miss Mary Louise Hamburger sang the bridal solo, -it Daivning, while the bridal march was rendered by Miss Louie Lee Berry with violin obligato by l Lss Etheldra Fraley. Reverend Dorothy West performed the ceremony. The bride, who entered with her father, Miss Katherine Wood wore a lovely white gown. Miss Ellen Ross, the maid of honor, was gowned in a frock of sunburst shade. Bridesmaids were Misses Mary Jo Likly, Matilda Hood, Louise Bowser, Catherine Fondren, Martha Smith, and Margie Thiel. Little Janet Caldwell, daughter of Dean and Mrs. Caldwell, was the flower girl and Master Humphrey, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Humphrey, served as ring bearer. The groom was attended by Miss Ethel Mackenzie, best man, and Misses Mary Trammell, Beatrice Harrison, Flora Streetman, Virginia Kinard, Geraldine Jennings, and Audrey Black as groomsmen. A reception followed during which punch was served with the wedding cake, an embossed confection with the numeral 28 worked out in green. Miss Harriet Joekel, of the Y Social Committee, was m charge ot this en- tertainment. d €3? F 3:1 IXc(S[ p. A.L.S. Country Fai Again did the P. A.L.S. stage a success in their annual country fair, an event that takes on more interest every year. It is a bit different from the usual enter- tainment and affords a little variety to the social life of the season. This year the same old side shows were all on hand together with several brand new additions. The girls secured excellent cooperation from the boys who assisted in putting up the stands, attracting the crowd into them, and enter- taining the audience thus collected. The girls did the collecting, however. l,ike last year it again was a case of S.io to get in and S4.00 to get out. The main mess hall was given over entirely to the booths and stands typical of the average Fireman ' s Carnival. On one side was the questionable Go to the dogs show, and on the other, one could see Wild Bill McVey (himself, in person — positively not a picture) give his classic imitation. Then there was the very necessary ' ' three shots for a dime, win a doll contraption. It was reported on good authority that several dolls were actually won. An innovation this year was a regular three-act vaudeville of music, magic, and dancing. Slime Baker .Armstrong again mystified a spell-bound audience with a collection of tricks — some new ones. A jitney dance held in the Commons proper, or Senior dinmg room, was again the most popular attraction. Music was furnished by an aggregation of talent that represented every orchestra known to Rice students, . fter a swig ot goo ' ' ol root beer, the crowd went home happy — or at least they left. WW d © F jQ l%c€ The Rice Institute Chemistry Building The Rice Institute chemistry building, pride of the students of the Institute, was occupied during the year. This building was started in June 1923 when Dr. Edgar Fahs Smith, former President of the University ot Pennsylvania, laid the corner stone. Reputed to cost in the neighborhood ot one million dollars, the building is indeed a worthy addition to the campus and a glorious monument to the policy of building slowly but thoroughly that has been followed by the trustees and administrators of the Rice Institute. Not only will the Rice of 1924-25 find it adequate, but the classes that are to come in the future have been considered with the result that the building will more than meet the needs of the Chemistry Department for years to come. This building is the finest of its kind in the South and is the equal of any in America. Situated near the mechanical laboratory in the engineering quadrangle, the immense size of the building dwarfs the buildings near-by. The actual dimen- sions are thre e hundred and seven feet by one hundred and eighty one-feet. It is built around several large courts, all of which front to the south and present an irregular outline that is quite pleasing. From this view, the great size of the building is not realized. It is only when one views the long unbroken expanse of walls and windows on the north side, that the dimensions quoted above are fully appreciated. While not presenting the niceties of details and elaborate use of color that characterizes the Administration Building and the Physics Building, the new addition to the campus has been built in the adapted Romanesque architectural style that distinguishes the other buildings. The simpler decorations of this building are quite in harmony with its use as a laboratory and the architectural details are by no means ignored. The bright mosaics and marbles that are very C[ p: ffi? IS (Sl appropriate tor this Texas climate, are used with fine effect. An interesting bit of stone work is the caricatures adorning the pillars of the west entrance to the Chem lecture hall. Dr. Watkin, Dr. Weiser, and the Chem. loo dragon are cleverly worked out. The tower, quite a magnificent piece ot work, surpasses the Cam- panile, near-by, in beauty, tho not in size. The interior ot the building represents the caretul grouping of the laboratories of an Advanced Laboratory ot Chemistry. The right hand portion ot the struc- ture being given over to laboratories and the services necessary thereto. These consist of twelve larger laboratories, sixteen smaller labratories, and the necessary stock rooms and offices. These laboratories include laboratories for Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Micro analysis, Gas and Electric Analysis, Combustion laboratory, et cetera. Although a maximum of natural ventilation is atforded, a system ot artificial ventilation exhausts the contents ot the laboratories and blows the fumes through the fume stock. The class room section is on the left side and is given over to lecture rooms, amphitheaters, libraries, museum, and offices. On the first floor are two class rooms seating one hundred students each. The main amphitheater is a two-story hall with walls constructed so as to give perfect acoustics. The air is regulated so that its temperature and the amount circulating through it may be determined. All tables, desks, shelves, hoods, sinks, and window sills are of Alberne stone. Each laboratory has complete hot and cold water, steam, gas, and other services. Supplies are stored in great rooms in the basement and are brought to the upper floors by the three elevators built for this purpose. There is a distributing station for supplies on each floor. With the completion of this building, the Engineering and Architecture de- partments of the University are capable of, and in fact are, offering a training that students can find in very few institutions. 1 i Wi Mb (H ( m F iQ iiu(g[ Tvp Row: Dickson, Business Manager; Hill, Editor; Cathcart, Society Bottom Row: Sorrells, Sports; Trammell, Managing Editor; Duff, Humor The Annual Co-Ed Thresher The Co-ed edition ot the Thresher came out on the twenty-first of February. There were eight pages of news and features which proved conclusively the ability ot the Co-eds to accomplish what they set out to do The staff was capable and not afraid of work, while the other girls heartih ' cooperated in the undertaking. The Thresher office was adorned with ruffles ot pink and blue crepe during its occupancy by the girls. However, this adornment did not interfere with the quite masculine efficiency displayed by its occupants. The Y. M. Slime Stunt ' Night A large audience witnessed the Slime Stunt Night program staged by the Y.M.C.A. on October ninth. Slime Baker Armstrong, the great magician, capped his wonderful exhibition ot tricks by locating some dogs in Jack Glenn ' s pockets. Following the magician. Slimes Sherrod and Hambleton entertained with a collection of songs. A terrific bout was fought by Hussa and Herting as preliminary to the real treat of the evening, a jazz concert by Eddie ' s Syncopators. This was but one of a series of smokers and entertainments that featured the work ot the Rice Y which was headed bv George Red. ([[ 05 F X| lJx€ - K ' i College Circus Day A new scheme which added to the fun and frolic of the State Fair of Texas held at Dallas was the All College Circus which was successfully reeled off on Saturday, October eighteenth. The principal colleges and universities of the State sent delegates and rep- resentatives to compete in the old circus rings. To Rice went a great portion of the spoils, for its tumbling clowns proved to be one of the biggest hits in the entire circus. For their efforts, they won second prize which amounted to over $250. No doubt the Dallas alumni, as later heard from on the subject, were proud ot the team. Besides the Tumbling Team, Rice was represented n the College Day Court. By a vote of the members of the Institute, Miss Susie Fondren, of Houston, and one of the beauties in last year ' s Campanile, represented Rice as Duchess. She, with her attendants, proved to be a sensation of the elaborate court. As a clima.x to the ' WW College Circus Day, the All Queen ' s Ball was given in the State Fair Automobile Building, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. This affair is to be held annually by the State Fair and will be one of the greatest fields of competition among the Colleges and Universities of the State. The All College Circus and Coronation of All-College Queen of 1924 may be considered the pacemaker of such future events for it was a big success all the wav around. (H ( m F 5C| i%c€ fm Visitors MR. HAMILTON HOLT A prominent visitor on the Campus during the winter term was Mr. Hamilton Holt, the distinguished editor and author. Mr. Holt was for many years the editor of The Independent. He has contributed numerous articles on affairs of current interest to different magazines. For some years Mr. Holt has taken an active interest in politics and will be remem- bered in particular as one of the strongest advocates of President Wilson ' s League of Na- tions policy. For some time, Mr. Holt has been speaking on the World Court and the League to audiences throughout the United States and more recently he was a candidate for Senator of Connecticut on a pro-League platform. The subject of his Rice Institute talk which was given before an interested assemblage of students in the faculty chamber, was World Organization. He discussed the theories of war and peace and concluded his talk with a plea for the United States to ioin the World Court. DOCTOR W. N. DAVIS The Professor-Emeritus of Geology at Har- vard University, Dr. W. N. Davis, delivered an address before the students of Rice in November. His subject Human Geography was of especial interest to history students as Professor Davis discussed the influence of the physical geography of a country upon the historical and social devel- opment of humanity. The talk, therefore, was of more interest to his audience than a more techni- cal survey of geology proper would have been. Dr. Davis was introduced by Dr. Heaps of the Physics Department. c[ © lJx€ ' l ii MLLE. NADIA BOULANGER January the twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, the second of a program of lec- tures to be given under the auspices of the Rice Lectureship in Music was presented to music lovers of Houston. The lecturer this year was Mile. Nadia Boulanger, the well known French musician. The lectures were given at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. The Rice Lectureship in Music was estab- lished from a gift left to Rice by an anonymous donor in June, 1922. The purpose of the Lecture- ship is to create a desire for music in the minds of the students of Rice and the people ot Hous- ton, and to enable them to derive benefits there- from by studying the various forms of symphony. Mr. John Powell gave the last lecture on April fourth, nmeteen twenty-three. The lectures were well attended and received much attention from the musicians of the city. The subject of the lectures were: The Twenty-Fourth Prelude of Claude Debussy; French Music, Modern and Ultra-Modern: Igor Strawinsky, His Works. All these lectures were in English and were illustrated by piano selections. DOCTOR C. C. BALY Couicident with the completion ot the new chemistr) ' building were the lectures in chemistry given by Dr. C. C. Baly, Grant Professor of Chemistry at the L niversity of Liverpool, Eng- land. These lectures were very technical, but were ot prime interest to the chemistry students ot Rice and the specialists in that branch ot science in Houston. With such excellent lectures, and the very thorough chemistry department, the chem- ists ot Houston may consider themselves very tortunate. Dr. Baly was tormerly at the University College, London, and later became Deputy In- spector of High Explosives for the Liverpool area. f ' f ■jm im ' i ; ' . ([[ © !! € DOCTOR JULIAN HUXLEY On September twenty-ninth, thirtieth, and October first, a series of lectures on biology were presented by Dr. Julian Huxley, of Oxford, England. His first lec- ture on Ptire Biology formed the basis for his lectures of the following nights on Applied Biology and Philosophical Biology . The lectures were well attended by Rice students and Houston people, and the visit of Dr. Huxley aroused a great deal of interest. He is by no means a stranger to Rice, for he was formerly head of the Biology Department here. He left Rice and entered into War work. After the war he returned to his native home instead of coming back to Rice. Dr. Huxley is a descendant o Dr. Thomas Huxley and the equally distinguished Matthew Arnold. Though still a young man. Dr. Julian Huxley is able to claim quite a bit of fame on the basis of his own work in bioloffv. MR. FRANCLS P. MILLER The annual Y speaker lor the year 1924-25 was Mr. F. P. Miller, a nationally known Y.M.C.A. worker who addressed two meetings ot Rice students April 2. Mr. Miller ' s special field is lecturing in American colleges and he has lectured in nearly all the universities in America. His talks, therefore, were of the type to ap- peal to his Rice audiences. He stressed the need for world peace and explained the work of the student federation in prompting better international under- standing. DOCTOR CHARLES ATWOOD KOFOID Late in the third term Dr. Kotoid, Ph.D. (Harvard), Professor of Zoology of the L ' niversity ot California, delivered a lecture at Rice on Hookworm Amoebiasis as a Public Health Problein. Dr. Kotoid is the author ot many scientific articles and for- merly edited several scientific journals. HARRY HERVEY One of the most promising of the younger writers of this country, Mr. Harry Hervey, was a visitor at Rice during a short stay that he made in Houston. While here, he addressed an open meeting ot the E.B.L.S. that attracted an interested crowd of townpeople and students. Mr. Hervey is the author of Caravans by Night and a number ot other works of fiction that deal chiefly with the East. C[ m F $L IPI lTc€ Saturday Night Dances It has become the delightful practice to have a Saturday night dance every week, either at the Autry House or in the Commons spon- sored by the Senior Class. These parties have been quite in- formal and afford one the pleasure of see- ing friends missed during the week of classes. This year the Morning Germans have proved quite popular. These were held in the Autry House on holidays and before the beginning of a new term. For both the Saturday dances and the Germans, the Rice Collegians have played. Mrs. Blake, Mr. Masterson, and parents of the students have chaperoned these parties. The Y. W. C. a. -Y. M. C. A. Reception As has been the custom tor a number of years, the welcommg hand ot the two Y ' s was extended to the Freshmen at a reception held in the court in front of the Commons early in the fall term. Dr. and Mrs. Lovett and members of the faculty with the presidents of the two organizations. Miss Louie Lee Berry and Mr. George Red, received the newcomers. This informal gathering was unusually successful and quite a fitting beginning tor the social activities ot the College year. During the afternoon, delicious punch and dainty cakes were served under the shade trees. The E. B. L. S. Card Party One ot the most interesting affairs ot the first term was a card party given by the Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society in the ball room ot the Rice Hotel. The great room was decorated in the spirit of the time — Halloween, with black cats, witches, and yellow pumpkins. To carry out this theme, the pledges of the society, dressed in Halloween costumes, went among the players selling candy. Later in the afternoon they served tea poured by Mrs. Edgar Odell Lovett and Mrs. Stratford. Dainty prizes were found on each table and as a grand prize there was given a huge basket of Rice Hotel products. ([[ © F H l%c€ li t Engineering Society Annual Dance Gaily bedecked with streamers, festoons of red and white on one side, gray and blue on the other, and echo- ing with the laughter of happy couples, the Commons served as a most ideal setting for the annual dance of the Rice En- gineering Society. The raised platform at the end of the hall was transformed into a tem- porary construction camp from which transits, levels, rods and chains, lent an at- tractive and appropriate at- mosphere. The grand march was formed at eleven-thirty, and, led by Mr. Edward Jackson, President of the Society, and Miss Marie Davis, of Brownwood, the dancers marched to delightful supper. Attractive favors of the evening were programs made after the fashion ot a slide rule. The Sophomore Dance Thanksgivmg night the class of nineteen twenty-seven gave the first formal dance of the year. This delightful party was held in the spacious ballroom of the Turnverin. The stage was featured by a great screen of gay colored ballons in the center of which the class numeral was formed in blue ballons. It was from behind this beautiful cur- tain that Finlay ' s famous Majestic orchestra served as inspiration for dancing through the evening. At midnight, the grand march was led by President Jesse Madden and Miss Madge Barrick. The merriment lasted until the wee small hours of the morning when the departing guests congratulated the Sophomores on the great success of their party. ii m ' , i © F 9t Xt II € The Freshman Dance At quarter ot nine the evening of February the ninth, nineteen twenty- five, as one looked about him at the End-0-Main, he could see no con- ceivable way for the Freshmen to win their annual battle with the Sopho- mores. And the Sophomores were con- fident that there was no way. The hall had been watched from the outside and the interior had been searched. But — promptly at nine there was a crash and down jumped the Fresh- man President from behind the great clock on the wall where he had been hiding. Quite untouched by Sopho- more hands he was ready to lead the first dance of his class. The Freshmen had won! From this victorious beginning until the early morning hours when Fatty Martin ' s Orchestra played Home Sweet Home, the Freshmen and their guests, all but the disappointed Sophomores, had one of the most enjoyable evenings of the college year. The great ball room ceiling was covered with a low hanging canopy of moss with soft lights shining through, while here and there was a new moon, omen of good luck. At midnight, the grand march was led by Miss Margie Thiel, Vice President of the Freshmen class, and George Murray, the Presi- dent. Miss Thiel, less fortunate than the President, was dressed in pink rompers and hair ribbon and green socks, the costume chosen by her captors, the Sophomore girls. Miss Margie Thiel C[ (3r ® li2 ®:iC| l c€ is« S25£-; The Archi-Arts Ball Effective and different was the im- pression of the Archi-Arts BaU. The interior of the Autry House seemed, for the occasion, endowed with a cer- tain old workl charm; tor the repro- duction of an elaborate Florentine castle demanded, as the chosen theme, a rather skillful handling of details. Richly decorated walls gave color to the scene, but failed to destroy the dominating note of quiet dignity, while foreign tapestries and a massive carved table placed in the center of the room, formed a fitting background for the vivid costumes typical of the fifteenth century. Diminutive artist ' s pallets served as programs and during each dance the floor was illuminated by lights ot a color corresponding to the one by which that dance was represented. One of the intermissions was given over to an attractive stunt program during which an impromptu burlesciue by the inimitable Mr. Tidden, proved an entertaining feature . A Spanish dance pre- ceded this stunt. The grand march was led by Mr. Clarence A. Johnson, President of the Architectural Society which sponsored the dance, and Miss Nancy Tucker. Supper was served immediately after the grand march, and the Italian colors were evident in the refreshments as well as in the attractive favors which were distributed later in the evening. C. A.

' ' ; ' ' % i ( m rlv t d m IP $1311 1 ' € The Junior Prom Among the more prominent dances given at Rice each year the Junior Prom holds a place of exclusiveness. Always an outstanding event, this year it surpassed even its traditions in the charming manner of its execution. The Prom of the Class of Nineteen Twenty- Six will quite deservedly be placed in the galaxy of distinctive Junior Proms which are so prominent in the social tradition of the university. As has been the custom tor several years, a large electrically lighted class numeral was placed in the tower of the Commons while powerful flood lights blazed down on the campus and gave the proper atmos- phere to the annual dance given to the Seniors. An elaborate scheme of decora- tions carried out a most artistic Dutch setting. A high stone wall bordered by large, fantastic tulips enclosed the dance floor. In the distance appeared the roots ot houses, windmills, and ships. At one end ot the room was a large windmill surrounded by squat Dutch cottages with their typi- cal green shutters and quaint window boxes. Behind this inter- esting bit ot setting the orchestra was located. A subdued lighting etTect was produced by concealed wall lights, spotlights, and a large golden moon. From twelve to two a buffet supper was served in the commons. The long table was effectivelv ar- Travis Calvin 01 i ffl 111 li ranged to represent a garden with a border of tulips and ferns extend- ing tJie entire length. Dutch scenes in blue and black were pictured behind the long tables. Rose candles in silver holders lighted the supper table and the smaller one from which frozen punch was served. Max Fink and his orchestra furnished music between the hours of ten and three and were at their best. At midnight the grand march was led by Mr. Travis Calvin, the president of the class, with Miss Marjone Ilfrey, the vice-president. Programs for the dance featured a blue windmill in silhouette. Guests were limited to a certain extent to the members of the class of ' 26, and their guests, the members of the senior class, and faculty members. That the Prom was a success may be attributed to the capable and energetic work of the Prom Committees who started at their task early in the year under the leadership of President Travis Calvin and General Chairman Joe Heyck. Serving on the Committees were Lawrence McWhorter, Calvin Calhoun, Mose Schwartz and Holmes R 1 c h t e r , Finance; Emmette Goodrich, Margaret Lester, Lucile McAshan, Claude Hooton, Oliver Winston, Robert Turrentine, and Frank Payne, Decorations; Marjorie Ilfrey, H e n (.1 r i X D a v i s a n d Martha Campbell Scott, Chaperones; Jack Griffin, Flora Streetman, Roy Webb and Clara Becker, Invita- tions. The refreshments were in charge Alice Michaux, J. W. Metzler, Mary Northrup, Margaret Lyttleton while L. C. Carter, assisted by a committee composed of Corinne Clarke, Jack Hopkins, Margaret Cunningham and Joe Heyck arranged for the music. Marjorie Ilfrev : -iiS: ' .-Ml ' ■ r: ' ' A.

The walls were hung over with advertisements of theaters, dance halls, and intoxicating bev er- ages. The place itself was interesting but the guests were amazing. It was a scene ot revelry by night, ( M ti uMp brave men but a horrifying lack of fair women. The costumes reflected the moods of the wearers. Everyone was weary of the mental strain of exams and were bent on mad recreation. Between spells of frantic dancing, couples crossed the hall, burst into the barroom thru swinging tioors, and called loudly for a mug ot beer and a handful of pretzels. Some sat at bare wooden tables, played cards, read the Police Gazette, and listened to the wild tunes of a nickle piano. The whole atmosphere was one of reckless abandon mixed with deliberative display of civilized man ' s uncierlying tough nature. Some of the girls and a few of the more modest boys looked a little fearsome at their own daring, but the crowd as a whole seemed thoroughly a t ease in then- weird costumes and quite enthused over their own boisterousness. An interesting program listed the bouts and gave the rules for the guys who had come to shake a mean ankle and a wicked hip. It was particularly stressed in the famed article X that ' T.aw and oreier must be preserved and not Pickleci. A small but charming affair of March was a card party given by the Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society at the home of Miss Margaret Lester, Vice-President. Only the members of the Society played but during the tea hours, the members of the Owen Wister Literary Society and the Pallas Athene Literary Society called. ct ® F IXf € The Band Card Party III order that the Rice band might appear before the Associ- ated Advertising Clubs of the world uniformed as they should be, the co-eds of the school, under the direction of Mary Tranunell, got together on May first and held a monster benefit card party at the Rice Hotel. Later a check for Si,ooo was handed over to Mr. McCants, which was applied to the tunti to purchase the much needed uni- forms. The uniforms, designed by John Clarke Tidden, art instructor, are of a military cut, of blue and sllver- gra) ' . A cape, lined with blue silk is attacheil to the coat, and the caps are miniature owls. The services of the Rice Hotel were donated free of any charge by Mr. B. B. Morton, manager, thus relieving the students of what would have been their greatest expense. Houston merchants furnished the prizes. The complete list of prizes numbered twenty-two. The firms thus cooperating with the students in such a whole hearted manner were Shotwell ' s, Levy Bros., Sweeney ' s, Harris-Hahlo, Battelstein, The Gables, Hamilton Bros., Leopold and Price, Barringer-Norton, Sakowitz, Parker Bros. Music House, Goggan ' s, The Fashion, Rolle, Jewett and Beck, Lechenger ' s, ' . C. Munn Company, The Mayflower, St. Regis, Moskowitz, Krupp and Tuffly, Nathans, and Wademan. A basket of flowers was given as first prize, and the remainder were auctioned. A pleasing feature of the affair was the splendid pro- gram that was rendered by the band. Including the people who filled the 140 tables of various games, and the number who were assisting, there were over five hundred in attendance at the party, which was pronounced to be one of the most successful of its kind ever given. A large committee of students and Mrs. B. B. Morton, Mrs. W. W. Fondren, and Mrs. I. Lee Campbell assisted Miss Mary Trammell who had charge of arrangements. 1? i-: mi rcj i im H ! Jd d © IP s:t i%c€ The Cramner Club Dance The Valentine party given by the Cramner Club at the Autry House was very delightful. The ballroom was artistically decorated with red and green hearts to accentuate the Valentine motif. Throughout the evening, delicious frozen punch was served. Later in the evening, refreshments of ice cream in the shape and color ot red hearts and heart shaped cakes were served. The Rice Collegians rendered the music for this dance, which is an annual af- fair that becomes more popular each year. The O. W. L. S. Senior Entertainment The Owen Wister l-iterar - Society established their annual entertainment in honor of their graduating seniors on May fifteenth when they entertained with a mock Majestic Vaudeville and a buffet supper. The honorees for this affair were Miss Janet Allen, Miss Wilminor Morris, Miss Myrtle Perkins, Miss Dorothy Sorrells, ' and Miss Margaret Stoptord. The bill consisted of the famous Smith Sisters — Flippie, Floppie, Flappie, Florrie and Flittle in their superb flopping act. Three other acts made up the bill which reached its clima.x in Alpha to Omega, a tragedy in lour acts. At its con- clusion, the senior honorees were put through a mock graduation exercise, re- ceiving miniature diplomas with appropriate verses on them. The entertainment closed with a delicious buffet supper. Some si.xty new girls of Rice were guests of honor at the annual joint recep- tion of the Pallas Athene and Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Societies at Autry House during the first term. The affair was quite informal, the guests calling between the hours of four and six. Officers of the two clubs formed the receiving line and tea was poured by Misses Pearl Hooker and Andree Falligant. A delicious salad course was served to about one hundred guests. Baskets of coral vine and other cut flowers were attractively placed about the room. oRGfiiMrrions cl CD F a:t llx HONOR COUNCIL -««- InNIS BURFORD SiGLER. Jesse B. Hutts , Chairman .

On the advice of Edward B. Arrants, art editor, the sixteenth century Italian was chosen as our art theme. Just as our archi- tecture is of that period, so do our ideals and the whole atmos- phere of the university represent the spirit of the medieval centers of learning. To transcribe that spirit into concrete reality thru the medium of the artist ' s tools has been consistently carried out. The borders, the cover, the color plates, lettering, and even the layout for Vanity Fair has been built on the early Florentine, or northern Italian period of art. Where an old idea has been proved to be the best suited tor our purpose we have not hesitated to use it at the risk of being called imitators. Where a new idea has broken from annual precedent, we have not hesitated to attempt it if it filled our needs. Our sport sub-divisions, though in some ways a bit disappointing, are entirely original and our borders are a ciaring new idea. This year the Campanile contains over four hundred pages, and there are near- ly one thousand books printed. With the idea in mind that an annual should be a picture book, we have nearly five hundred separate pieces of engraving copy in the volume. Some of these pictures are panels that involve the use of from twelve to thirty individual pictures. Approximately |io,ooo has been spent this year; print- ing takes about $5000 of this, engraving I3700 and photography, office expenses, and a salary to the editor and business manager takes up the remainder.

Hoffman C[ ffi? F SI lXc€ Fall Term Productio N Fall term Dramatic Club productions ex- ceeded all expectations as work on the plays was delayed until Mr. Tidden ' s return. Three one-act plays were offered. Double Demon by Helen Simpson proved to be a great success despite the fact that the cast was composed of eleven women and one lone man. Splendici acting was displayed by all the cast which included Celeste Jones, Mary Trammell, Beatrice Harrison, Helen Clark, Rosalyn Zucht, Lady Jack Dies, Jacqueline Prescott, Marjorie Lockman, Ruth Blackwell, Cath- erine Fondren, and Dick Barthelme. The play was directed by J. I. Campbell. Schnitzler ' s Last Masks directed by Plenn and Tidden, showed fine work on the part of Tom Rather, Tom Rice and Jack Glenn. It is generally conceded that the acting of Tom Rather was the best single interpretation of the bill. The picture of Mr. Rather shown here is one taken in character. The average audience does not appreciate a fantasy but Pan w Pimblico received a surprising ovation. It was perhaps the most finished play of the bill. Jack Glenn ' s portrayal of Bert McAvoy, the stoker, was the best role he has given; it demonstrated the versatility of his acting. Hazel Cannan was very good in the part of the girl while Bert Hitson and Theodore Stubbs galloped across the stage and gave the play the fantastic finish. This play was directed by Mrs. Arrowood, a new member of the Dramatic Club, and this, her first venture, proved to be the best play offered. f. Tom Rather J. I.

The scene of Danger by Richard Hughes was laid in a Welsh coal mine and since the charac- ters could not be seen, much inflection had to be shown in the voices of the actors. George Red as Jack gave a very good interpretation ot the youth, while J. I. Campbell as Ba.x, and Agnes Tidden as Mary, portrayed two different types and their reactions in the face of an emotional crisis. John Clark Tidden directed this play. The Mnu in the Bowler Hat by A. A. Milne was unusual to say the least, but the opening situations and theme was a bit boresome. When the curtain went down on the stagey burlesque, the audience hardly knew what it was all about despite the good acting on the part of the entire cast. This play, which was directed by Agnes Tidden, contained the following characters: John Clark Tidden and Helen Clarke as Jack and Mary, the mild, ordinary London couple; Dale Shepherd and Celeste Jones, the hero and heroine of the burlesque; Bill Grace and Chauncev Stewart, the chief villian and the bad man; and Joe Luckie, the man in the bowler hat. Hymen Plenn found himself as Bill in the Man Born to be Hanged, a play by Richard Hughes. At times he held the audience spell bound anci then, after some contortionistic trick or grunt, would startle them into the realization that there were other characters on the stage. Jacqueline Prescott, as Nell, with her colorless voice which broke into a hysterical laugh, left the spectators holding their breath and balancing themselves on the edge ot their chairs. Julian Meunch, the director, deserves credit for his part in this play. J. Tom Rather, Tom Rice, and Patterson Lillard made up the supporting cast. The C,a.st of Danger George Red Agnes Tidden J. I.

W. C. A. Play Officer 666, the three-act comedy presented by Rice students under the auspices ot the Rice Y.W.C.x ' . was staged at the South End Junior High School auditorium. Little can be said in favor of the skit alone, but under the able direction ot Mrs. Charles F. Arrowood, together with vivid character portrayal by the cast, Office?- 666 proved a delightful comedy. A great criticism to be offered ot the play is the excessive number of male parts as contrasted with the meager opportunity for feminine impersonations. Jack Glenn, as Travers Gladwin, was cast opportuneh ' and Miss Celeste Jones ably supported him. Other feminine roles were taken by Miss Adele Roensch and Miss Rosalyn Zucht. Special mention should be given to Herbert McConnell for his portrayal of the crook, Alfred Malison. Not only was his rendition of the part exceptional but his ever ready extemporaneous wit saved many an embar- rassing situation. Mention should also be made ot Patterson Lillard for his impersonation of the Japanese servant, Bateato. J. I. Campbell, as Officer 666, ably portrayed the Irish policeman who became involved in so many entangle- ments. The plot concerns Travers Gladwin, a rich young hero who returns from a foreign tour to find that a Raffles type ot crook has been living at his home in upper Fifth Avenue and posing as the wealthy young Gladwin. The thief is about to make away with the hero ' s valuable paintings — and the heroine — -at the time that Gladwin makes his appearance on the scene. Through the aid ot the badly perplexed Officer 666, Gladwin manages to save his pictures and win the heroine. The debonair thief is allowed to make his getaway by the hero. Other members of the cast included Arthur Zucht, the friend ot young Glad- win; and Alan Dunning, the servant of the crook. The police officers were Bill Grace, Bert Hitson, L. C. Waterman, Chauncey Stewart, and Sam Emison. d (Re © IP ICI lJx€ Scenes trmn ' ' Officer 666 m ' ' I I ' l as is Mi l 1 . t (H m F 5C| iTc€ The Spring Term Production Inspired by the success ot their winter bill, the dramatic club staged its third term play at the Scottish Rite Cathedral on the evening of May the nineteenth. For this ambitious undertaking, the play Shakespeare, a dramatization of the life of the great playwright was chosen. Rubenstein and Bax are the authors of this drama which is in five episodes. Julian Rhodes Meunch directed. Hymen Plenn effectively played the part of Shakespeare though it was a very difficult role. Mrs. John Clark Tidden, as the Dark Lady, took the leading feminine part. Others in the cast were: John Clark Tidden, H. O. Nicholas, Marjorie Lock- man, Helen Clarke, Celeste Jones, Beatrice Harrison, J. L Campbell, Jack Glenn, Chauncey Stewart, William McVey, Patterson Lillard, Robert Morris, and J. B. Earthman. ct i © F 5i:i i%c The Italian Play Altai Students ot Italian under Dr. Erwin Escher presented an Italian play, yd Game of Chess during the third term. An interested crowd ot stu- dents ot the course anci many town people witnessed the performance. Among the audience were many members of the Italian Philharmonic Society of Houston, an Italian organization organized to increase an interest in the arts. The play, which is by Giuseppe Giascosa concerns a wealthy count, one Renato, and his beautiful daughter, lolanda. The part ot the father was well portrayed by Dr. Escher while Miss Mercedes Romero made an attractive and capable heroine. Inasmuch as this young lady had no preference as to whom she would marry, the old man was to choose his daughter ' s husband. lolanda was a wonderful chess player and when a boasttul young man appeared upon the scene, he at once challenges the girl to a game ot chess. If he wins, he shall marry her; if she wins, he shall die. During the game the hero falls in love with her and she allows him to win. Miss Dorothy Seaman played the part of hero. Other characters in the play were Oliviero, an old friend of Renato; a part which was taken by Allen Stevenson, and the servant, played by Holmes Richter. His acting was especially good. The play showed evidence of caretul direction on the part ot Mr. Escher. The settings and costuming was very effective and contributed a great deal to the success of the play. On this score alone and through the ettective act- ing ot the whole cast, the play went over even with those who could not understand the language very well. SaSl FOB ft€[Il C[ ® F Sli l%c€ O John W. Heisman, Athletic Director and the inspiration for a renewal ot Rice ' s athletic ambitions, this, the Athletic Section of the Campanile, is dedicated. Coming to Rice with a reputation as one ot the outstanding football authorities in America, a sincere belief in the University, an unfaltering confidence in the purest ethics of the game both on and off the field, and a fervent energy in fostering school spirit has won for him our highest regards. ' SK?i L . ([[ ( © F t CI II € Coaches NICHOLSON In John P. Nicholson, assistant coach of football and head coach of basketball and track, Heisman picked a man who demonstrated unusual ability as a coach his first year at Rice. As an athlete, he has an excellent personal record. Altho a basketball and football player during his college days, it was in track that he gained the most tame. In 1912 he was world ' s record holder in the high hurdles, Intercollegiate champion in the high jump and the broad jump, and a member of the Olympic team. Before coming to Rice, Nicholson was head football coach at Sewanee and later head basketball coach at Center College. As coach of the freshman team this year, he developed a remarkable aggregation of first year men that defeated all opponents handily. The rather unsuccessful basketball sea- son is to be attributed to lack of material and a proper court rather than to any fault ol the coach. An example of Nick ' s energetic and amibtious program was the great Southwest Relays which he put on with so much success. He will ha e charge ot the ' 2!; track and a reawakening ot Rice ' s track glory involves onlv a matter ot time. BEDENK This introduces Mr. F. J. Bedenk, line coach of football and head coach of baseball for ' 25, whose skill in producing an excel- lent line IS only equaled by his ability in winning the friendship ot his men and the student body. Bedenk hails from Elmira, New York, and made Ail-American Guard as a result ot hi ' ' splendid playing with the Penn State team in ' 23. He was a three letter man in both football and baseball. To this coach goes much of the credit for producing the line that was rated as the best in the Conference. L. S. U. came down with their tamed divided line formation but Bedenk ' s men checked them so effectively that the spectators never saw it at all. The outstanding teature ot the Aggie game was the playing ot the Owl line. In baseball, indications are that the; Varsity will be a winner. Bedenk will be back again next year. (H © 1T(€ O ' NEILL Micheal J. O ' Neill, an experienced baseball veteran of the big leagues, was coach of the 1924 varsity baseball team. Ot a tamily ot baseball players, he began his pro- fessional career with Montreal from which he soon graduated to the big league. In St. Louis he, with an older brother, formed the famous O ' Neill battery. Later he met with excellent success as a manager. He was particularly for- tunate in the discovery and development of young players. The season he coached at Rice was not particularly for- tunate, but that was due primarily to the lack of pitching material. Mike knew the game thoroughly and had the ability to impart his knowledge to others. He put on a uniform and showed the men exactly how to play their position. Although O ' Neill will not be back for the season of 1925, the fundamentals that he drilled into his men will be ot mvaluable help to the coach of the ' 25 team. ASHCRAFT ■ i Ashcraft became noted during the football season as scout extraordinary. In this role he rendered inestimable service to Mr. Heisman. In addition, he was assistant coach of both the varsity and Freshmen lines. Mr. Ashcraft ' s earliest reputation was made as a basket- ball coach, however. He is the man who produced the famous Sam Houston basketball teams that afforded the Southwestern Conference teams such hardy opposition. Thus his success with the Freshman basketball team was to be expected. One of the most important innovations at Rice has been the tumbling team and the gym classes for girls. Mr. Ashcraft, as physical director, is responsible for this new development, and the public exhibition given during the year demonstrated the excellent results he has produced with these teams. mm ' W ' ■ ml Err-- am- d ® F iSQ I i[ € NICHOLAS Rice students need no introduction to H. O. Nicholas who assisted with the scrub football team this year. A former Oberlin quarter-back, Nick has put his experience at the service of Rice teams for several years. Although he is an instructor in Chemis- try, he managed to find time to afford very material assistance in building up the ' 24 team. In 1921 Nicholas was coach of the very successful class of ' 25 Freshmen team and in ' 23 was head coach of the equally valiant ' 27 Green Owl team. Thus such men as Smith, Heflin, Wilford, Hale, Woods, Underwood, Terrell and Hochuli received their first training as college football men under this coach. In speaking of the work of Nicholas and Rafferty, Coach Heisman said these men enjoyed my confidence at all times, and I have not found them wanting in anv regard. RAFFERTY Jack Rafferty is another voluntary coach who has lent much time to the upbuilding of Rice athletics. In track he is noted as the man who discovered Coleman as a half-miler, and de- veloped Preacher Lindsey into a great 100 yard dash star. During the early training for the ' 25 track season, he served as chief coach in the absence of Nicholson who was busy with basketball. To his efforts are due the development of new ma- terial in this branch of sports. Rafferty was a famous quarter-back during his career as a player on the Tufts College team. He assisted Heisman and Bedenk with the backfield men this year. At a pep meeting dur- ing the year he won new laurels as a forceful and humorous speaker. The ' 22 Campanile called him the best loved coach that ever sent his men on the field at Rice. Such a tribute we feel worthy of repetition. d iRE €5 F LSll tt € THE ATHLETIC MANAGER Roy Chambers, football letterman of ' 21- ' 22- ' 23, couldn ' t get out on the gridiron with the Owls though he wanted to badly enough. But he had his hands full supplying the athletes with the necessary tape, shoes, and handling the local games and managing the trips taken by the teams. As a former player, he knew the needs of the men, and he was out every afternoon looking after the wants of the teams. In addition, it was his duty to advertise the games and to handle the crowds. Though attendance was unusually large throughout the football season, this part of his work was well cared for. While some managers have lacked most ot the Chesterfieldian qualities. Chambers managed his job well and preserved his good nature and popularity at the same time. MASCOTS The young gentlemen on the left are Billy Phillips and Jack Harris, well known mascots of the Rice teams for several seasons. Clad in appropriate uni- form, these boys are familiar figures at all Rice games, though during the basketball season are especially noticeable as the goal tossing experts who do their stuff between halves. During the baseball season they retrieve toul balls, handle the bats, and in general well earn their positions as team mascots. DOCTOR JACK Anybody who has ever seen a Rice ath- letic contest has surely seen Dr. Jack Shelton, expert mender of sores, cuts, and bruises of Rice teams since God-knows-when. And he makes a good job of it, too. He has the reputation of never having a man that has been taped by him receive a sprained ankle in a football game. ' ff ; ' ' h x ' ) I ' :( S (tt to ¥ $t U lli(g Yell Leaders In the years that Rice has had a rooting section, we doubt if there was ever a corps of yell leaders better than the trio that handled the rooting this year. When Jack Glenn was laid up just as school began, his place was taken by Howard Eiser who organized the rooting section and drilled the school in the Rice yells. He made a good iob of it, and the first games ot the football season were well handled. He supervised the Howard Eiser first pep parades which announced to Houston that the football season had opened. Norman Hussa, Fresh- man member of the crew of leaders, was Eiser ' s chief assistant and he carried on after Glenn ' s return. In addition to this Freshman represen- tative on the Varsity squad of yell leaders, the slimes had a special yell leader, Dick Barthelme, who took charge durmg the Freshmen games. Glenn returned to school just in time to conduct the extraordinary Beat Texas campaign that cul- minated in the 19 to 6 victory over the Longhorns. If psychology and the attitude of the student body counts, then the yell leaders deserve much credit for inspiring the will to win that game. Glenn, who was yell leader in ' ly ' z . will be back again next year. Jack Glenn Norman Hussa Ol ( © F 5[| lTc€ The Owl Band With twenty-five letter men back from last year and twenty-nine recruits, the band started the year in a fashion that was in keeping with the new spirit at the Institute. Music was fur- nished for all of the games, pep parades, and important pep meetings. Both out of town trips were made with the football team and the band contributed its share to Rice ' s endeavours in every line of athletics. Competition for places in the ranks of the musicians was keen and this undoubtedly contributed to the suc- cess of the organiza- tion. Only forty men were taken on the trips. Under the able lead- ership ot Lee Chatham, Director, and Logan Waterman, Secretary, frequent practices were held thruout the year. Hans Ander. as Presi- Lee Chatham dent of the Band, aided its work very materially. Again did the school furn- ish financial asistance, and entirely new equipment was . bought for both the bass and drum sections. These instruments were christened in the damp Armistice Day parade. Next year, the musicians expect a lull sixty- piece band with an ample array of brasses. A very successful dance was given during the year and funds raised for purchase of new uniforms. These are to be designed by Mr. Tidden, and delivery made by the end of this year. Then the Rice Band will be superior to any southern band in appearance. Its quality has been de- termined.

' 15 it i C[ Q l%c€ Captain Harvey Smith To Captain Harvey Smith of Temple goes the glory and honor of being the first to pilot an eleven at Rice under John W. Heisman. Captain of a team that made history when they swamped Texas, that fought every minute in every game, that was never overpowered and came through for a real successful year. Cap will always be remembered for his powerful line plunging in which he never failed when that old yard was needed, and for his defensive strength in backing up the line. Under the teaching of Coach Heisman, Rice looks forward to better and greater seasons, but the team of 1924 more than came up to expec- tations, because, under the fight displayed by the captain, there was that con- stant drive that goes to make a fighting team. For this one quality the team of 1924 will be long remembered. A twenty-yard pass from Wilford to Smith, a twenty-yard run for the first touchdown against Texas, brought to the stands the realization that we were beating Texas, the team that Rice is always so anxious to defeat. This was but one of Smith ' s little incidents of glory that showed the fight and determination that characterizes him. Coach Heisman will have to look long to find another fullback as consistent as Captain Smith. d m F XI l%c€ Varsity Squad 1924 (,rff ' ' Waih ««sg!jl ,i j ijp p,, -  p Top: Bridges, Evans, Conistock, Heyck, Heflin, Peters, McVey, Wood, Kendricks, Grain, Williams, Terrell, Underwood, Sauer, Matthews.

' V Wi. m if ' -xaJ; j mm d © liu€ Review of the Football Season 1924 Our Football Season may not properly be summed up by a mere statement of the games won and lost with their accompanying scores. A survey of where the team landed should be coupled with a few reflec- tions o 1 where it, started from. To h f;iii with Ihcre was not a great quantity of Bpaterial, either experienced or inexperienced, in college. This lack wms fell keenly throughout the season. For, though the coaches in the end managed to put up a reasonable liiokiuf; first hne up. the second string men as a rule were so far behind the first string players that any substitution instantly spelled a decided weakening in the team ' s offensive and defensive strength; and it was through such unavoidable weakenings that the team usually went down to defeat in the four games it lost. Then too a large percentage of the regulars were too light for a Varsity team, notwithstanding a few of the men were quite as heavy as players need to be. There was Hale, at End, who weighed but i5o; Ray, at Guard, with only 162 lbs. to his credit; Williams and Heyck, at Tackles, weighing about 17 1 each; Wilford. at Half, who could register but i53; Captain Smith, at Fullback, with about i65 lbs,, and Hopkins, at Quarter, weighing in at about 160 lbs. These weights are altogether too light to justify anyone in demand- ing tip-top performances against regulation college teams. Still worse was the fact that the team did not have composite speed. As a rule light men are at least fast. Ours were no faster than the heavy man, and compared to the fast men of opposition teams they could not be accounted as being in a class with their foes. Certainly no man in the Rice backfield would have any business on a cinder path. On top of all these serious drawbacks was the fact that the coaches were new to the men, and the men to the coaches. . new system of play had to be taught the men, and though a fair percentage of them had played ball the year before, yet they were wholly unfamiliar with the style and kind of ball the new coaches desired them to learn. Such were the disadvantages. What were the assets? First of all the men were fired with the right kind of spirit. They took on a fine ambition to play hard, to learn the new game, and to win at all fair and proper costs. There can be no question but that they worked as hard as any team can be asked or expected to work. Also they trained faithfully, and their physical con- dition from first to last was as good as a coach can ever hope to have it. And then they learned how to fight. They came to a full realization that, though science cuts a big figure in the game of football, it s worth even more to a team to go on the field with every man mentally and physi- cally prepared to whip his weight in wildcats. The team started off with satisfactory games and victories against both Sam Houston and South- western. For the first quarter the latter team looked as good as Rice. The team was both heavy and fast, and they put up a good exhibition of loo I ball. But team work and determination finally turned the tide and a decisive victory resulted. Followed the game with L. S. V.. wlu ' h team was composed oT very large and experienced men. And .just the Saturday before they had put over a severe defeat of the University of Indiana. Well, they beat us; but their two touchdowns were both acquired through flukes, due entirely to the greenness of several Rice men. The number of first downs made by each team was the same weight apiece; and L. S. U s famous Line Divide play was probably more summarily stopped by the Rice defense than ever before in the his- tory of the play. Indeed, they were so disrourjigcil by their failure to make the play work in the first half that they did not attempt to play it a single time in the second half. The next game saw a victory for Rice over T. C. U. The latter Eleven, playing on its home grounds, put up a hard and unyielding fight, and nothing but persistence finally ' brought home the bacon . However, the coaches were saving their powder for Te:ias and had intentionally refrained from keying the team up to its greatest possibilities. Then came the game with Texas — and that was The Day that all Rice and especially the coaches and players had been waiting for. To Rice this was the most important game on its schedule and great pains had been taken by the coaches to have the team at its topmost pinnacle of physical condition and mental spirit. As the event proved they were RIGHT, and the game had been but a few minutes old when it became ob- vious to everybody that the Ricemen were outfighting and outplaying the Longhorns. It was one of the longest gnnirs txcv played, but at its close everybody knew that the best team had won, won fairly, and won by an v m lii;;Lri riKirgin than the score revealed. Rice ' s prime ambition had been achieved and the season was an uiidoulilrcl success, no matter what happened for the remainder of the season. And then Austin College came to town and trimmed the Owls. Yes, they had a good team and played good ball; but Rice wasn ' t within 5o percent of her form as displayed just seven days before. The truth was Rice was still playing the Texas game. She had so completely shot her bolt against Texas that she hadn ' t a thing on earth left for Austin. It was a close game but, as it was played, Austin deserved to win, so let it go at that. Then came the two corking games with A. M. and with Baylor. In both those contests Rice scored first, and in both they outplayed their opponents for over half of the game. Then came injuries and enforced substitutions for Rice, and as the regulars sadly retired from the game so Rice s hopes faded with them. Bat- tling to the last, however, the Blue and Gray in both contests put up a scrap of which their friends were proud beyond all description: nor was there lacking unstinted praise from the ranks of the opposition for the desperate fight the Ricemen had put up against terrific odds. In conclusion, the season s work may be summed up by saying that the Rice Team of 1924 did more to establish Rice fighting traditions than any other team that had gone before them. They trained and studied and obeyed; they steadily improved, they tried all the time, they fought like men, and when they had to taste defeat they died like heroes. No opposing team ran away with them; no opponent outclassed them — despite their manifest inferiority in size, in speed, in experience, in quantity of material. They were in the running real Championship Contenders — from the first game until the very last. No other team but took them most seriously from the beginning of each game unto its final end. . nd at the finish there was not a Rice man anywhtre who did not believe that the team had ' earned a lot of footbaP, at learned the price of success, had learned how to pay that price without whimpering, had learned how to fight to the last gasp for his Alma Mater. And th se ar ■ some of the thin.gs and rensons why Rice supporters have much for which to be thankful. — John W. Heisman. (a 9c ® 1 5ii i%c€ Rice 22, Sam Houston Normal 6 In the heat of a true summer day, though the date was October the fourth, the Rice Owls officially opened their football season in Hous- ton with a 22 to 6 win over Sam Houston Normal College. A new brand of football for this part of the country was seen, one which was destined to be very effective throughout the season due to the improvement in execution from game to game. The team was overanxious in this game, and as a result received a few offside penalties. The first touchdown was made by Captain Harvey Smith when he bucked the ball from the six yard line; the second was made by Terrell, and, who blocked a Bearcat punt, recovered the ball, and went over for a touchdown: the third was Harvev Smith Temple, Texas made by Madden when he skirted end and carried the ball for twenty yards over the goal. Wilford added two points on place kicks after touchdowns; Tidmore, Bearcat halfback, was thrown for a safety behind the Owl line for the remaining two points. Tidmore scored the only Bearcat tally when he was on the receiving end of a pass from Pete Trow. The game throughout was interesting to Rice Rooters. At times the Owl line showed holes and the Normalites ' backfield took advantage of them and at other times the team was nervous, but in spite of this, the team showed the drive and fight that Coach Heisman asked for and which are the first essentials to a football machine. mm ■ ' h I f (a © F IS l%c€ Rice 20, Southwestern University 6 The score of this game, though not im- pressive, meant a great deal to Rice. South- western caught the Owls decidedly off their guard. The eyes of the school had been focused too much on the scores made by Texas and A. M. against Southwestern and the team, as a result, was not keyed up properly for the stern contest the game proved to be. The greatest value of the victory was the ability shown by the team to get together and meet a crisis and overcome it. As Coach Heisman said, This is a step towards getting that fighting tradition, that unyielding, undying spirit that will not be denied. The Pirates completely outplayed the Owls the entire first half, putting over their only touchdown in the first eight minutes of play before the Rice team even realized what had happened. Things looked gloomy at the half, but after Dicr Terrell Captain-Elect the intermission, a new team came on the field, a team that was fight- ing mad and determined to win. As a result, three touchdowns were made this half. Terrell and Wilford turned in exceptionally good games. Time and again Terrell went for gains on off tackle plays. The entire second half was merely marches down the field for the three touch- downs as the Pirates were unable to stop the constant drives thrust at them. ([[ i © IX (S[ Louisiana State University i 2, Rice o iB TOPtf) The Owls met the first defeat of the season at the hands of the powerful Louisiana State Univer- sity Tigers, who the previous week defeated Indiana on the latter ' s own lot. The team, though con- quered, was by no means overpowered. The defeat was the result of some costly fumbles at critical times, and some bad passing when the loss of the ball meant a touchdown for the Tigers. The Rice team failed to take advantage of the breaks which they received while the Tigers, always on the alert, took them to advantage. The Louis- iana team was coached by Pete Donohue, an old foe of Coach Heisman ' s on the gridiron, and this gave the game an added note of interest. Though a defeat, it was in a sense a success for Coach Heisman for f ' William Lixdsav Hale Mayfield, Kentucky f7ii5: ,-;rs5 fe % i ' : ' ! m the Owls easily stopped the Tigers famous split line formation for which Donohue is so well known and which had wrought havoc with In- diana the previous week. To Coach Bedenk goes much credit for the way that the line held. A stonewall is the only way the line can be named to give it full credit for its performance in this game. The heavy backs of L. S. U. would only ram in vain for they were stopped at the line time and again. The generalship displayed by the L. S. U. quarterback was the best seen on Rice field during the year, and to him goes much of the credit for their victory. Their first touch- down came as a result of a completed pass and bucks over the goal. The second from an inter- cepted pass and a 20-yard run. k- ■ - -t mWk m: m ( 1 ' ct ! m F $[3:1 lI € Rice 7, Texas Christian University 3 With Rice Institute ' s cohorts numbering over two hundred, the Owls went to Fort Worth for their initial conference tilt with the strong Texas Christian University Frogs, and by a fierce drive in the last few minutes of play overcame the three point lead held by the Frogs. This score had been made by Clark from a drop kick during the first quarter. Defensively, the team played a great game, and showed a decided improvement in the break- ing up of passes, a department of the game in which they had failed against the L. S. U. Tigers the previous week. Offensively, the team ciid not show a great deal until that touchdown came in the last quarter and from then to the end of the game the Horned Frogs were fiercely defending their goal. Wilford ' s passing and punting was very consistent throughout the game, Mlk Ditchy Wilford Mayfield, Kentucky his punting keeping Clark well hack in the de- fense to receive the punts. This game was the second time during the season that the team came from behind and won out — completely outplaying their opponents in the second half. Such fight shows a decided growth in the tradition that Rice is attempting to build up. Taking the game meant a great deal to the Owls for it was a revenge for the game with the Frogs in ' 23 when the Rice team fumbled every time they touched the ball; it was the first con- ference victory of the year, and a creditable victory because the T. C. U. team had shown their strength against the Sooner Aggies the preceding week. C[ (Re © F Sli II € Rice 19, Texas University 6 Doleful Doc Stewart can always have a sad tale of woe to tell the world for his Long- horns were no match for the Heismen and went down to overwhelming defeat in a historical game that will never be forgotten at Rice. The Owls played an offensive game that com- pletely swept the steers off their feet. As Coach Heisman said, We have met the enemy and they are ours. It will not be forgotten that Cap had just recovered from a spell ot sick- ness, that McVey had gone through a case ot w8 ' ii George Morgan Denison, Texas chicken Y and that ■ux, th Terref at Morgan and Heyck were handicapped with a flock of boils, I went into the game with a badly sprained arm. Surely all Rice will remember how the men fought under such handicaps. The opening of the game re- sulted in an exchange of punts lor the most part, with the Rice r ' iiii iiiiiii i M; H backs time and again making con- j; i«— ■ 1 sistent gains off tackle. The real fireworks then started. The Owls received a punt on their own 35 yard line, and the march down the field resulted in the first touchtiown which caused the Steers to completely I c[ m F 3:1 ixc€ Paul E. Nash Dallas, Texas go to pieces. Wilford, Smith, and Woods ripped through the line and off tackle for three first downs putting the ball into Longhorn terri- tory. One more first down was made trcjm a short pass from Woods to Hale. Then the touch- down. A pass from Grandaddy to Captain Smith and a twenty yard run netted the first six points. Wilford place kicked goal for the extra point. The melee started again in the second quar- ter and another touchdown resulted when Woods again threw a perfect pass to Hale who carried the ball over. Wilford failed to kick goal with the result that the score now stood Rice 13, Texas o. Alter some exchange of punts with neither the Owls nor the Steers mak- ing any real advantage, the half ended with no further scoring. The rooting sec- tion almost went wild and between halves showed their enthusiasm by their demonstra- tions on the field. The second half opened with Texas receiv- ing on the kick off. They exerted all the power in them but to no avail for the Rice line held firmly. Their passes were incompleteti when- ever attempted. Once again, and for the last touchdown, the Owl offensive machine opened an attack that completely bewildered the Longhorn defense. Rice failed to gain the point after touchdown but the score stood 19 to nothing in our favor. The Longhorns, almost givingup hope, resorted c[ i m F 91 101 iTc€ to the passing game as a last means of gaining ground. They reaHzed that their charges were completely repelled despite their terrific thrusts at the Rice line. They passed and pass- ed, and passed some more. Thompson, their passer, seemed to be staging a throwing exhibi- tion to see how far he could toss the ball. Due to the fact that these incompleted passes re- sulted in much time out, the game went far in- to the late afternoon. Finally, however, in the twilight, and just as electric lights were be- ing turned on, the Texans efforts were awarded when a pass from Thompson to Slover netted Robert Ray Houston, Texas them their only touchdown. The game thus ended Rice 19, Texas University 6. This game marked the second defeat of Texas by a Rice football team. The last half of the game was characterized by the wildest excitement in the Rice stands and by a corresponding gloom on the other side ot the field. To those men who so ably carried on tor Rice, praise and honor are not enough, tor to win as they did means a great step forward in the making of those traditions that Rice, as a young univer- sity, must build up. The Rice men fought and deserved vic- tory. Most important, the Texas ]inx is dead for once and tor all and we can fight them in the future with a confidence that has been lacking in the past.

The team was not in the frame of mind to play a hard team such as the Kangaroos were, and as a result did not have the punch to win. Not at ail disgracefully beaten — in fact most anything would have won the game. A little better head work in signals, or if we had not tumbled on several occasions deep in our terri- tory, and the game would have been ours. But — we were off our guard and the Kangaroos caught us at the right time. .After recovering a tumble on our twenty-iive yard line, they made a first down and then a pass was completed over the goal line for the only tally of the game. After this score, the Kangaroos were only looking forward to the end of the game. As a result they were on the defense for the remainder of the encounter, with the Owls always able to gain ground and make first downs but never able to put the ball over for the counter due to some errors at the critical time. The performance of Butter Allred, the Kangaroo quarterback added a comic element to the game as he played for the greater portion of the time in his bare feet. This innovation in college football brought down the stands. After this game, we shall know that it takes a wish and a will to play football. A. M. c[ . mF siiii € I 3, Rice 6 With all our forces assembled on Kyle Field, fate seemed to be against us. More than half the student body, the band, and the entire student body were on hand at A. M. but with all this backing, the tragedy came in the last period when we had com- pletely outplayed A. M. for three quarters. The Owls started things with a bang, scoring early in the game due to some excel- lent line plunging and a well executed pass from Woods to Hale. Receiving the ball on B BE ' Hefun Temple, Texas their own 40-yard line, the Owls began a march down the field to the first touch- down ever made by Rice on Kyle field. The ball was carried to the 35-yard line by line bucks, and then a forward for 20 yards to Hale, who made a spectac- ular catch of the flying pigskin, Terrell, on the same play, spilled Berry, the Aggie safety, and Hale raced for the touchdown. On the try for point after touchdown, Wilford hit the cross bars, making the score Rice 6, A. M. o. After the Owls had swept the Aggies off their feet for the first touchdown, both teams settled down to hard football; the Farmers fighting to even matters and the Owls attempt- ing to keep the advantage.

On the other hand, the Rice line spilled play after play that was directed through the line. .■ t the end of the first half, the A. M. team had been unable to puncture the Owl goal line. The score stood 6 to o with Rice still on the long end ot the score. The third quarter was hard fought throughout, but it looked like our game from every angle as the team continued to plow through the A. M. line for yard after yard. Then it seemed as if everything went wrong. The last period opened with the Aggies attempting the forward pass- ing game as a last resort. The Owls were fully capable of stopping this game for they had been coached hard on all Aggie passes. They did stop the passes but the trouble came from the penalties which Rice received. Time and again they were given 15-vard penalties and as a resvilt the team was put on the de- fense with the Aggies well in our territory. These penalties also had an affect in that the morale of the team was not as stern as before. Therefore the Aggies completed a (Si p: CB F ®: Sli i%c€ weird pass for Dansby kicked goal and the score stood 7 to 6. The Owls came back, but the odds were too great. Several more penalties and the fire was taken out of the team. In the last minutes of play, Rice at- tempted a pass deep in her territory but it was intercepted with the result that A. M. pushed over another touchdown. They failed to kick the geal for the point after touchdown and the game ended with the score 13 to 6 in favor of the Aggies. Perhaps the most outstanding feature ot the Owl game was the playing of the Rice line. Sam Williams Galveston, Texas Time Farmers and a , and gain the line held the mad rushes ot the powerful Ime plunging t was seldom that a gain was made through the line. Underwood at center, Heflin and Ray at guards, and Williams and Heyck at tackles all played a fine game for Coach Bedenk. A. M. deserves due credit or having a fine looking aggregation, and a team of excellent players, but a game is hard to lose after giving the enemy a scare such as the Aggies exper- ienced in this game. Rice gained more yardage than the Farmers, and com- pletely outplayed them for three quarters, but through some unfortunate penalties at the critical time coupled with several enforced sub- stitutions, the game was !o3t. Lots of hard luck — that ' s all — forget it and wait for next vear. l )r ; ' i i Mm. m Joe Heyck Houston, Texas Cl (R[ CD F XI 11 Baylor i 7, Rice 9 In the Thanksgiving melee, the Baylor Bears, after a bad scare, came from behind and won the game and likewise clinched the Confer- ence championship. Seven members of the Rice Varsity played their last game for the Gray and Blue, and gave their utmost in fight and courage. This so in- spired their fighting teammates that the Bears were forced to expend their mightiest efforts to win the encounter. Those who played their last game for Rice were Captain Smith, Wilford, Hale, Ray, Morgan, Nash, and Heflin. The first quarter was furiously fought with the puntingot W ' ltord and the great returns of punts by Coffey, the sensational quarter, as features. Twice in this period he returned punts tor 30 and 35 yards and gave Baylor the chance to put over the initial touchdown ot the contest. Early in the hrst quarter things looked bad when Woods fumbled and lost the ball on the 35 yard line. The Bears were unable to gain on three thrusts through the line and Jones, Baylor halfback, attempted a placement kick which tell short. Alter an exchange ot punts, Coffey erturned to the Rice 25 yard line and fi n a 1 1 ' Pittr d © F f| l%c€ Coates carried the bail over for Baylor ' s first score. In the second quarter, the Owls opened an attack that was not to be denied and as a result gained 9 points, having made seven first downs in the attack. The first goal came from a safety when Coach Bridges decided the Owls were too near his goal and gave up 2 points through a voluntary safety. All the strategy proved to be in vain for the Bears were forced to punt. Heflin and -a «fc. ' Heavy Underwood Honev Grove. Texas Hale broke through and blocked the punt while McVey recovered the ball. By some well executed plays, the ball was advanced to the 3 yard line and Captain Smith carried the ball over for the six points. Wilford made the point after touchdown. The half ended with Rice 9, Baylor 7. The third quarter saw no scoring. Both teams battled superbly and kept the ball in midfield most of the period. Early in the fourth quarter, Baylor scored a field goal from the 23 yard line and the Bears led by 10 to 9. It seemed as if the game would end that way, but the Baylor offense reached the heights of its power, marched down the ' _ field in the closing minutes of play and scored the touch- down with a trick play. Coffey, the one great obstacle to Rice, was again the villian when he dashed twenty-five vards for a touchdown. ft. . M ' W ' }, (01 © F 101 lTc€ Bii.i Mi E Cleveland, Ohio The Owls showed their ability at passing, com- pleting five out of ten passes for a total of eighty- four yards. That the offense was functioning is shown by eleven first downs for Rice to nine for Baylor. Bridges ' Bears are a team to be complimented tor their running ability. In Coffey, the best broken field runner in the conference, rests the arger share of glory for the victory. The Rice team was defeated only in the last tew minutes of play, and only then largely because the men were fatigued and there was no effective substitutes available. The men had worn themselves out in their brave and fierce attempt to stop the fleet footed backfield of Baylor. The work of the men plaving their last game for Rice will not be forgotten. Smith was always there to stop the Baylor backs as they cut through the hole inside tackle. Hale met their end runs and Morgan in tackle po- sition and McVey, Heflin, Ray and LI n d e r w o o d in the line presented a stern barrier to Baylor ' s attacks.

Total Freshmen 188 Total Opponents 13 it!- ' •0 (Dt m Ilu:€ Freshman Football With only about 25 men reporting for the freshmen squad at the beginning of the season, prospects for the team did not look so well, but Coach John Nichol- son in a short time whipped into shape a most successful team. The men learned what it meant to play together and to fight together, and it was this aggressive- ness plus able coaching that made the team one of the most talked of teams in the state. Four games with prep schools and junior colleges were played, and a total of 188 points against 13 for the opponents were scored. Two of the teams played, Terrill Prep School of Dallas, and South Park of Beaumont, had exceptionally g ood teams but they were defeated by the Freshmen. San Marcos Academy of San Marcos, Texas, and The West Texas Military Academy of San Antonio, furnished the rest of the opposition. George Murray, a sensational plunging full back was captain of the Fresh- men team. He is from Castle Heights school in Tennessee, where he captained his team during his last year. Murray is a man who should make a name for himself on the Varsity. Unfortunately, the exam axe took off many of the star players of the squad and depleted the famous backfield combination that Coach Nicholson had built up. Herting, the big halfback from Connecticut; Ogg, also of the backfield; McKinnon, end, from Central High School, Houston; Wharton, guard; Watson, tackle; DaCamera and Buccholtz are among those who survived and who are expected to prove Varsity material in ' 25. Altho the loss of other good material is to be regretted, it is expected that the men who have survived two sets of exams will be eligible for the Varsity next year. The gap created by graduations will require every man of the squad to do his duty next vear. (a[ © F ai t%c€ Freshmen 23, Terrill 7 The game against the heavy Terrill Prep team was the first on the program for the willing Slimes and the Green Owls romped home the winners by a 23 to 7 score. Terrill, with a line that averaged 190 pounds and a backfield that weighed 170 pounds, had won three games by large scores when they met the Freshmen. The Freshmen were much lighter but they made up in speed and fight what they lacked in weight. It took a few minutes in the first half before the team found itself and started going, but from then on it was a real football battle. The first four plays by scrimmage resulted in three fumbles and two touchdowns, one for each team. The costly fumbles by the freshmen resulted directly in a touchdown, but after the newness wore off, the Green Owls did not have much trouble. The entire team looked good in its first appearance. Freshmen 47, San Marcos o San Marcos next fell victims to the Freshmen, the visitors losing by a one sided score on Rice Field. The Academy team, like Terrill, had a good record and tied Allen Academy the preceding year for the academy championship. However, the Owlets began scoring early in the contest; their lighter oppo- nents being unable to stop the rush of Nicholson ' s fighting Freshmen. Practically every man on the squad was called into action and for this reason the score was somewhat affected. But the Freshmen took no mercy on the enemy and tramped the visitors into the dust for seven touchdowns and five goals for point. A feature of the game was the beautiful way in which the remarkable back- field worked Nicholson ' s lateral pass; a play that never failed to bring the stands to their feet whenever it was tried. mm nm l (H m F $i3qi iiu€ Freshmen 7, South Park Junior College 6 For the third game, the team journeyed over to Beaumont to meet the strong South Park Junior College coached by Bull Johnson. The Beaumont team had been heralded far and wide for their football supremacy. The Freshmen won, however, in a well-contested battle. The Green Owls deserved the win tor they showed clear supremacy in all branches of the game. Freshmen i i i, West Te.xas Military Academy o The last game ot the season proved to be a tarce and the Freshmen com- pletely outclassed the Cadets from San Antonio. The score of 1 1 1 to o was one ot the largest made on Rice Field; the record in this line was made by the 191 6 Varsity which defeated S. M. U. 143 to 3. The freshmen scored sixteen touch- downs and fifteen points after goal. Only one first down was made by West Texas and the scorekeepers lost track of the Freshmen first downs when the number was around fortv. This game capped a wonderful season ot tootball; one which was a credit to the coach and the men.

While victories serve as a good standard of success there are other circumstances that cannot be overlooked in an estimate of Rice ' s success on the basketball court. With a team composed mostly ot undergraduates. Coach Nicholson, with varying success this year, laid the foundation for what is hoped to be a worthier team for next year. The only two games won were victories of large margin, which fact indicates that the potential strength of the Owls was far greater than most performances would signify. S. M. U. was vanquished by an unbeatable brand of basketball, one scarcely in accord with the generally accepted ideas of Rice ' s prowess. Baylor, the only other team to encounter defeat at the hands of the Owls, was merely outfought, and outplayed in an unique sort of way. By a bit of thoughtlessness on the part of the janitor of the Klan Hall, Texas University beat Rice in a game, the win- ning of which they had no real claim to. The other losses, while many were of the heart breaking variety, or hard luck losses so called, were as a rule deserved. But the foundation of a new system was laid, the introduction of which cost many victories, but with a large squad of experienceci men returning, the prospect of future successes seems likely.

Playing back guard for two seasons prior, Ray was called upon to take over running guard this season without any experience whatsoever in fast offensive attack. Despite his small scoring ability, success was hoped tor. Ray proved to be the most consistent , scorer on the team. While not high point man but on one occasion, his brilliant long shots time after time rescued the team when behind. He never failed to average at least three such shots while playing this position — which change was not made until almost mid-season. This record tar surpassed the scoring ot other letter-men with two exceptions. Ray ' s torte is the defense, however. Ot a rather rugged build and more intent on getting the ball from his opponent than to worry just how he does it, he proved without a superior in the conference. Despite the tact that he had the misfortune to lead a very poor team, not once did he slack in his determina- is tion and effort to produce something worthy ot the school. Which after all is more to be said in his praise than countless descriptive adjectives, in regard to his playing. Being the type of athlete that seldom gets his just deserts, Ray is constantly overlooked when the mythical all-conference teams are picked. But notwithstanding, he was game, and his wholesome attitude stamps him as one ot the athletes in a million. Quite a tribute. Ray graduates this year and thus finishes an enviable career in both football and basketball. (RE © F •BLSl lJx( Jack Hopkins Galveston, Texas JACK HOPKINS (Captain-elect) As a fitting climax to two years of undergraduate basketball, Hopkins was rewarded with the captaincy for next year. Possessing basketball experience that dates back to his grammar school days, the new leader should prove a capable commander of Owl destinies on the court next season. Jack came to Rice from Ball High School, Galveston, where he won much recognition as a basketball player. Gifted with a large amount of stamina, Hopkins managed to get the jump on any center opposing him. These qualities served to otT ' set his handicap of poor eye sight and every fray witnessed his playing a consistent brand of ball. Fortunately he is not of the starring type, a requisite so often demanded and yet as often a drawback, and as a leader of men he should prove successful. While his defensive work is not of the polished type, there is at the same time an unmistakable element in it which is after all quite as persuasive and iust as efficient. On the offensive, he is a more finished player. In spite of the mask worn to protect the glasses, his ability to hit the long ones is mi- raculous, and what is more important is the high average he maintains on such long shots. Even last year, his first season on the Varsity, he won fame for this ability. If the situation demands, he can play guard or forward with almost equal success, and his versatility is more than an asset to the championship hopes of the next year. With Jack, Calvin, Underwood, Prafka, and Mor- ris from this year ' s Varsity, and Mc- Kinnon, Nevinger and the other ex- cellent players of the Freshmen ' 28 squad, such hopes have excellent foun- dation. r fi ' n«J ifM, Mm ' ' Sam Fitch Houston, Texas d © F 3:ii t%c€ FITCH With the record of second high point man in the Conference behind him, Fitch was con- fidently expected to even outdo his work of the preceeding season. But somehow this did not occur. Even so, Fitch played a capable brand of basketball the entire season. Perhaps the best under-goal shot in the conference, and with this skill mixed speed and years of experience, Fitch proved to be one of the hardest forwards in the state to guard. With this season, ends an unusually good basket- ball career. CALVIN Playing his second season at forward, Cal- vin displayed the same ability that won his letter last season, and with it combined the lessons of experience. . ' n old head at the game, he easily offset his diminutive stature by fast floor work and an uncanny ability to shoot long shots. Especially brilliant was his work in the pre-season games in which his playing gave evidence of the quality it was to take before the close. He returns next year with the assurance of continued im- provement. Travis Calvin Houston, Texas ([[ !Rc ffl F J| l%c€ MORRIS Dick Morris, a graduate of the Freshmen squad of ' 27, proved to be something of a sur- prise. Rather slight in stature and meager in experience, this lad had practically earned a first string berth by the end of the season. With an aptitude to learn, his progress was logical as well as astounding. His play in the S. M. U. contest was his best individual performance of the year and contributed much to the winning of the game. Young athletically, and with the possibilities of development, his future is per- haps a brilliant one. Dick Morris Houston, Texas Dan Bloxsom Houston, Texas BLOXSOM Dan Bloxsom, one of the athletic lot of ath- letic brothers, finished his senior year by lettering in his second sport. With no previous experience in basketball, he stepped into the vacant posi- tion of running guard and filled the gap perfectly. Excelling at the spot pass around which the system of play was moulded, Bloxsom earned the position of regular. During the season he was changed to forward and floor man where he performed capably. His work was the redeem- ing feature of the A. and M. game. m t ?;-! -J y i mi KKi ri ' mi ([I m IP gill i%c€ - ' x o. Wash Underwood Honey Grove, Texas UNDERWOOD Underwood, with practically no previous basketball experience, yet gifted with an enor- mous physique, stepped into regular position as guard. He presented an obstacle that was prac- tically impassable and combined with size was a natural ability and skill so unusual in large men. And when the situation demanded it, Wash was speedy enough to advance the ball into enemy territory with a lightning like dribble. This being his first season in the sport, the following seasons should witness a rapid devel- opment. PRAFKA Rolling up a season ' s score of seventy odd points put Prafka well up among the conference scorers. Something praiseworthy when done with a losing team. In the S. M. U. game he was particularly accurate, scoring eighteen points, one of the highest scores of the season. Despite a tendency to individuality, Prafka proved more than a valuable addition from the ' 27 Freshmen Squad. He is an experienced player, with sound basketball judgment and a share of speed and skill. His ability in the S. M. U. game at Dallas excited much newspaper comment in that locality.

An extensive schedule was drawn up, comprising the best high school and independ- ent teams in South Texas. At anearly meeting, McKinnon was elected to captain the destinies of the Green Owls on the court and the selection soon proved to be a most wise one. Due to a lack of practice and organization, the first game of the season with Christ Church was dropped by the small margin of one point. Not at all a bad loss considering the tact that this team was City Champion for two consecutive years. The return game resulted in a top heavy victory for the Freshmen, a bit of practice having a telling effect. Quo Vadis, an independent team, and Heights High School were next met and defeated by approximately the same scores, the Freshmen presenting a fighting offense and a very good defense. St. Mary ' s was distinctly outclassed in the fray played in the Field House and was perhaps a bit hampered by the strange surroundings. That there is something in this surmise is proved by the fact that the return game played in LaPorte almost resulted in disaster for the Green Owls. Playing the preliminary to the S.M.U. contest, the Freshmen completely outclassed the independent team from Texas City. Two former Rice men, Brown and Greer, did the best work for the visitors. The last game of the season with Anderson-Clayton Cotton Company re- sulted in a victory for the Freshmen, the final results never being in doubt as the opponents were in poor condition. The team boasted of several stars besides Captain McKinnon, a former Central High man. Nevinger, several times all-state man from Illinois; Borschow, an all-state center from Central High were luminaries. Billups, perhaps the best defensive forward on the team, was a product of Navasota High. Grant, from Heights, Allen, Townsend, and Gammel from Central displayed creditable basket- ball during a trying season. The play of Hart at back guard, while not flashy, was always dependable.

H hH Hi aW , Captain William Lindsay Hale Review of the Season The Rice varsity baseball team of 1924 encountered some of the roughest going in many seasons ot Southwestern conference baseball. But four games were won during the sixteen game season. These victories were two over Baylor University, a nine to seven win over the Aggies, and the swamping of South- western by the lopsided score of nineteen to five. Except for these wins, the season was one of great disappointment to Owl fans. Coach Mike O ' Neill, the veteran big leagurer and charge d ' affaires of the Rice nine had difficulty primarily in organizing his material. Coupled with O ' Neill ' s apparent inability to handle college ball players was a glaring lack of capable ball players. But few of the members of this club had sufficient seasoning to temper them for a stiff sixteen game schedule. Wilford and Bloxsom were given the majority of the mound assignments and neither was a pitcher by trade. In consequence. Rice ' s strength throughout lay in their slugging line-up, and when this factor failed to function. Rice was completely lost. This season marked the end ot their collegiate baseball work tor four veterans ot the Owl team. Dunkerly, Swartz, Locke, and Adams graduated in June leaving a big gap to be filled in ' 25. (H i €3?

The Bears anci the Owls met on Rice field in the first game on San Jacinto day, when Rice won 12 to 7. Rice hit safely fifteen times, each of the blows coming at opportune occasions. Freeze, Baj ' lor, was touched for thirteen hits while Dutchy Wilford pitched a good game, allowing only nine hits and none of them dangerous. Wilford and Hill made home runs. The second day, Rice turned in a to 4 victory when Bloxsom held the opposi- tion to eight blows. Rice ' s heavy hitting lineup was primarily responsible for the pair ot wms. There was little improvement visible in Rice ' s fielding game.  Jim C. Locke Wharton, Texas Locke guarded the center pasture throughout the season, and turned in some valuable work at the bat in addi- tion to his fine fielding. Allen Dunkerl Houston, Texas Dunk proved one ot the ablest first Backers in the loop, and fielded the initial sack in great style. His hitting was a bit otf color, however. d m F 501 ITc Rice and Aggies Divide Series In the first of a two game series, the Texas A. M. College won by the one- sided score of 13 to 3. Wilford, Rice pitcher, was touched for five home runs by Kyle and Puckett. These two men brought in all but one of the Aggie ' s points. Loose fielding by the Owls contributed to the defeat. Saturday, however, the defeat was avenged in a 9 to 7 win by the Rice team. Bloxsom pitched a nice game and held the visitors except for several innings dur- ing the first of the game. During the fifth inning, the Owl heavy hitting line got up into action and drove Pitcher Graves out of the box. Hale ' s home run brought in three runs in this inning. Swartz also did some excellent hitting while Wilford made several sensational catches. _ Robert Ray Houston, Texas Ray rounded out the outfield, and handles the short right pasture in good style. He hit well during the season and gathered in the high ones in the stands. Dan Bloxsom Houston, Texas Bloxsom, an infielder by trade, was one of Rice ' s two tossers.

The second game did not prove so happy for the Owls as Southwestern won by the score of 2 to i. Rice played its poorest game of the season. Rice— Baylor Series Rice closed its season with a pair ot defeats at the hands ot Baylor Univer- sity. Poor fielding was coupled with unusually poor hitting. In the first game, Rice played good ball and backed up Wiltord who was in good form. The game was lost by the score ot 3 to o while the second game was a defeat by the score ot 9 to I. Bobbie Hill Houston, Texas Hill played second base tor O ' Neill ' s combination and though his hitting was erratic his fielding was ot high calibre. Lewis Fisher Houston, Texas Fisher took his first shot at varsity baseball and proved to be a depend- able fielder in the lett garden. His hitting was below par, however. (H m F lTc€ Captai Fred Stanci.iff Review of the Season The one bright spot in the ugly collection of ciecisive defeats suffered by the Rice Institute track and field aggregation during the 1924 season was the sterling and consistently fine performance of Captain Fred Stancliff, perhaps the foremost field performer of the Southwestern conference. The Rice captain placed first in most of the meets, taking second place only in the meet against Texas. The only other men who amassed enough points to win a letter were Lonnie Thomas, the veteran javelin thrower, and Sam Fitch, dash man. The smallest number of letters to be awarded in a major sport were given. Other members of the squad who made second places in the Baylor meet and placed in the Southwestern meet were Webb, 440 dash man, and Calvin, who runs the mile. Although Stancliff added many valuable points to Rice ' s meager total dur- ing the season, one-man track teams, glorious as they may be, are far from efficient. Three dual meets, and the Southwestern conference gathering in May, were just so many packages of misery for Coach Franklyn D. Ashcraft ' s first year team. (R[ ffi?

LoNGHORNs Win Easily The Texas University Longiiorns swooped down upon Rice ' s Owl roost in the opening meet of the 1924 season, April fifth, and ran away with the dual meet by the overwhelming score of 103 to 14. Rice placed in four events, one of which was a first honor. Three second places added the remaining nine counters. Altho the Rice men did not loaf on the job, they could not compare with the rangy Texas men. The University took both the distance races with no opposition; the events being merely races between themselves for first places. Lonnie Thomas who hurled a mean javelin throughout the season, brought in the initial place whem he tossed the spear a distance of one hundred and sixty-six teet, five inches. Bruce Shearer, Houston product, gave Texas second place in this event. Sam Fitch took second place in the 100 yard dash. This race was won by Jack- son, of Texas. Fitch did not do so well in the longer sprint and Texas took both places. Captain Fred Stancliff El Campo, Texas Stancliff was the backbone of Rice Insti- tute ' s shorthanded track and field aggregation. He was always able to place in the weights, usually making first places. Stancliff did not take part in the 1925 track season and will therefore be eligible for 1926. d ( m F 311 tJU€ Fred Stanclift took seconds in both the shot put and broad jump. Dayvault, Texas, and Jackson, Texas, carried off first place honors in these events. The surprise of the meet was Stancliff ' s failure to place in his favorite event, the discus throw. He was off his stride, however, and Dayvault and Harris of Texas took the two places. Distance, one hundred thirty-two feet, eight and one half inches. Though Stancliff was high point man for the Owls with six points, Jackson, Texas University, won high point honors of the meet. He scored eighteen markers. Dayvault and Barmore of Texas both made ten points. The other events were practically uncontested and Texas won them easily. Of interest to Rice students was the work of McCorquodale, former Rice letterman on the ' 21 track team, who, under the colors of Texas, won second place in the pole vault. LoN iiE Thomas Greenville, Texas Thomas specialty was the javelin toss and he cornered this event for Rice on a couple of occasions. Thomas threw the spear for good distance consistently. 1924 ended his career of three years steady work on Rice track teams. 1 ' S ' m- ' K m i M ymil i i mi r ' -V ' V ' i ,sM« ' ' ' .■-• • i i ' ' 5 •|(- ljj|;, k ' . - ' i JV-Vi ' tWi m % ct © IP s:il ii € Baylor 82, Rice 35 Rice encountered opposition that was less enveloping at Waco on April 12 when they succumbed to the Baylor Bruins 82 to 35 in the second dual meet of the year. Fred Stancliff was the individual star of the meet with fourteen points to his credit. Fred took first places in the shot put and broad jump tor ten pioints and split the discus throw with Parker, Baylor, for four more points. Sam Fitch ran into first place in the 100 yard dash, and divided honors in the 220 yard sprint. Fitch and Baylor ' s sprinter ran a dead heat in this latter event. Rice added four second places for the remaining points. Travis Calvin took second in the mile, Austin was headed by one in the two-mile, Webb ran second in the 440 vard dash, while Lonnie Thomas was second best in the javelin throw. Sam Ashe Fitch Houston, Texas Fitch was the thirel of the trio of men to gain their track letter, and like the other two men it was his second in this branch of sports. Sam usually took second in the 100 yard dash and in the Baylor and Southwestern meets he gained first honors. . s he is tennis captain in ' 25, Sam will not attempt track work next year. ct m F sii i%c€ Southwestern 56, Rice 53 The Rice-Institute-Southwestern University meet, though not a conference af- fair, was undoubtedly the most stirring track event on Rice ' s 1924 card. The relay race, final event on the program, decided the meet in the favor of Southwestern, after the Owls had virtually cinched the honor. Though Mateer, Southwestern star, was high point man with sixteen points, Captain Fred Stancliff followed closely with fifteen to his credit. Stancliff took first place in the shot put, the discus, and the broad jump. Other Rice men to score first place tallies were Goodrich who carried off honors in the high jump with a mark of five feet, nine inches; Fitch who won the loo-yard dash; Calvin, the winner of the i-mile run; and Eiser who came in ahead in the 220-yard low hurdles. In addition to these first places. Rice took several seconds and the competition for places made the meet the most interesting, and the closest of the year. Hannon, Hopkins, Thomas, the veteran javelin thrower, Austin, and Webb were among those to take seconds. The Southwestern-Rice meet was staged coinci- dentally with the annual Rice interscholastic relays. The ' 24 High school relays witnessed some excellent performances, and the great showing of Jim Draper, the Cleburne High school flash and ranking high school athlete of Texas for the past year, netted the speedy youngster individual honors. Central High School, Houston, won the annual meet with a total oi I ' iyi points. mm m F 3:1 i%c€ Thk Conference Meet Fred Stanclift, Rice track captain, set a new record tor the discus throw at the Southwest Conference track meet held at Austin. He heaved the discus a distance of 134 feet, 9 inches. Just five minutes before this throw, Joe Ward, the Texas University weight man, had created a new record with a throw of 133 feet, 3 inches. The previous record had been held by Tmy Keen, A. M., who made the recorti in 1922. The five points made by Stancliff were the only ones scored by Rice but even at that the team finished out of the cellar as S.M.L annexed that position with a score of two points. The only Rice men to place in the preliminaries held on Friday were Eiser and Webb. Eiser competed in the low hurdles while W ' ebb ran the 440-yard dash. Both of these men were eliminated in the final races held on Saturday. Texas University won the annual encounter with a score of 67 points. Texas A. and M., Baylor, Arkansas, Oklahoma A. and M., T. C. U., Rice, and S. M. U. finished in the order named. dt i © IP lOl llx Olympic Trials Rice was represented at the Olympic trials by Captain Fred Stancliff, star weight man. Immediately after school in 1924, he went to New Orleans where he won first honors against the best men of the South in the Southern Olympic trials. In the final Olympic trials at Boston, he was slightly outdistanced for first place. During his high school days, Stancliff represented El Campo. Later, he was captain of the ' 25 freshmen squad. At the conference meet m 1924 he won the Southwestern Conference record in the discus throw with a toss of one hun- dred thirty-four feet, nine inches. As a sophomore here he made the T.I. A. A. record throw in the discus. This time he hurled the platter one hundred and thirty- four feet, seven and three-quarters inches. Though Captain-elect for 1925, he re- signed and did not take part in any of the meets in order that he might be eligible for 1926 when Owl track prospects seem brighter. 1 mm i; H - •I k - ct © F t s:i t ' € Cross Country Team Left to right: Wallace, McKamey, Cottingham, Nicholson (coach), Quinhy, Ransom, Hannon An Innovation in Rice track activities was the cross countrv team that Coach Nicholson organized during the fall and winter. This form of athletics, though new to Rice, has been a feature at other Universities in this part of the country. In the only meet entered, the Southwestern conference run, the Rice men finished last. The training and experience of the other teams was too great to be overcome by the Owl ' s first year team. The sport is in its infancy here, but under Coach Nicholson ' s expert tutelage, the development of a winning organization is sure to come. d m F 11 i%c€ Baylor Meet The Rice Institute tennis team, 1924, made great strides towards populariz- ing the net game at Rice last year, and it remained tor the quartet of Owl racquet men to bolster up the spring sport division of the Institute. In the first meet of the season, with Baylor University, the Rice men took three singles and one double match. Moore, with his reverse English service, was the star of the meet. Texas Meet Against the nationally famous Texas University team, the Owls met with difficulty and suffered their only loss of the year, Thalheimer and White, the Texas champions, defeated Moore and Fitch in the hardest match the Texans fought during the year. Harold Moore played a good game and at one time had the champion to o. Texas won all of the matches. Harold Moore Lake Charles, Louisiana Moore captained the net squad in ' 24 and his per- formance in every match was well worth watching. Moore was responsible for much of Rice ' s success. He suffered but two losses during the season. During the summer, he participated in tournaments under the colors oi Rice. c[ © l%c€ a I u O S. M. U. Defeatkd The Owls defeated Southern Methodist University right handily, taking four out of six matches with the Methodists. Harold Moore, Sam Fitch, and Lindsey Blayney won their singles matches, while Robert Reed dropped in fourth. In the doubles, Moore and Fitch played Mcintosh and Baird, S. M. U. doubles team, off their teet. TuLANE University Meet The Rice net team journeyed to New Orleans to meet the Tulane University courtmen, and brought off a tie tournament in the singles and a win in the doubles. The feature matches brought Moore a victory over O ' Kelly, Tulane ace, while Murray defeated Fitch. The tourney was two matches short owing to darkness. All matches were prolonged by even play. Rice won the doubles 6 — i and 6 — i . Sam Ashe Fitch Houston, Texas Fitch was probably the most brilliant of the Rice net team, excepting Moore. Fitch possesses a nice sense ot offensive tennis, and coupled ability with experience. In ' 13, he and Coleman, ' ij, won the Colorado singles and doubles championship. Last summer he won new laurels in the east. Fitch is captain-elect of the ' 25 team. iip7 w ' K rJ . f M M ■ r 3 V1 j .Mm L% ft ■-S ■ .,, ' laid P -lV Xikf).

Blayney lost his singles match with Hines, though he came hack and, aided by Reed, won the doubles. In its last dual meet of the year, the team defeated the strong Oklahoma Ag- gies. The visitors showed little skill. Reed did not play as Oklahoma brought down three men. Moore, was a bit off form and dropped his match to Waldrop. In the doubles, however, Moore and Fitch decisively outclassed Calmes and Waldrop. The Conference Meet Tn the conference meet held at S. M. U. the Texas University team came out the winner. The Rice Institute men, rated as the second strongest team in the conference, easily defeated Texas A. M. Their second match was with Texas ITniversity and they were eliminated by the national intecollegiate doubles champions, Thalheimer and White. Fitch and Moore represented Rice. LiNDSEY BlAVNEV Houston, Texas Blayney, seen in the action picture above, lacked the experience of a finished tennis player, but his doubles play was of the helpful variety that greatly aided the Rice quartet. Robert Craig Reed Houston, Texas Reed, whose picture is on the left, played two brands of tennis, good and bad, and was equally effective with both. Reed, however, bore his share of the court work for the Owls. ct m iixs The Interscholastic Track Meet • Coming as it did so soon after the Soutliwest Relays, the annual interscholas- tic track meet staged by Rice Institute was somethmg m the nature of an anti- climax to track fans. Many of the same high school stars that appeared in the larger meet also took part in the second event. Seventeen high schools with nearly one hundred and sixty-five athletes par- ticipated in the affair. One team came all the way from Tishomingo, Oklahoma. The first heats were run off on Friday, April i6. The finals were run off the following day. The high school events were run alternately with the Rice-Baylor collegiate events. One of the most interesting races was the close competition between Coles of Houston Central High and Harbour ot Dayton in the 440 yard dash. The latter winning by a close margin. Coles, who has distmguished himself at several Rice Interscholastic meets, won the 880 yard race. Sawyer of Houston Central High barely defeated Deuron ot Beaumont in the 220. In the hurdles, Balliew, champion hurdler of the state, met with bad luck when tripped in the semi-finals and repeated in the finals. His case was similar to the misfortune of Kinsey, Illinois U. champion who slipped on the grassy course in the Southwest Relay meet. Central High School won honors in the meet. One week later it repeated and won first place in the Thirtieth District Interscholastic meet which was held on Rice Field. Central, Humble,. and .Rosenberg made the best showing. Bracey, of Humble, Sawyer of Central, and Moore of Rosenberg, were individual stars. ii m ? .w •5 Ct © F SOi 11U€ ([[ ( © F X| lJx( 1924 Track Squad Top Row: Coach Ashcraft, Francisco, Tadlock, Hannon, Thomas, Willis Kneeling: Watt, Austin, Calvin, Bishkin, Cottingham, Riess Sitting: Eiser, Pollard, Stancliff (captain), Goodrich, Webb SEASON RECORD Texas University 103; Rice 14.

C[ nr €i 1 501 l%c€ First Annual Southwest Relays Success crowned the efforts of Coach Nicholson and his staff to give the Southwest and Rice an athletic carnival of the first rank. The first annual South- west Relays staged Saturday afternoon, March 28th, with sixty institutions and 415 athletes, was the greatest event of its kind given in this part of the country. The field of entries included men who are nationally and even internationally recognized as the greatest track and field athletes. The relays were enthusiastically supported by Rice students while Houston- ians showed a great deal of interest in the affair which, of course, was one that advertised Rice and Houston throughout the sport world. The Lions Club of Houston afforded very material aid in making the carnival a success and to them Rice is most thankful. Four special events and at least a half dozen regulation relay events made up the program for the afternoon. Though the field events were run off during the track events, they attracted a great deal of attention and were in no sense neglected. The pole vault honors were so hotly contested that it required three hours to decide the winner.

J ' ;jf% y- i S (H m F l%c€ the field events, competition was keen and all the races were very exciting for the spectators. Some three thousand people witnessed the meet. Coach Nichol- son ' s introductions ot the stars ot the relays were greeted b ' loud cheers from the spectators. Joie Ray, Illinois Athletic Club, and .American champion in the middle distances, was scheduled to run against Lloyd Hahn, of the Boston Athletic Association, the World ' s record holde r, three-tourth mile, in a special i oo- iTiCtre distance race, but Ray was forced to withdraw after a half a lap because of an injured leg. Brunson, Rice freshman anci interscholastic champion in the distances, competed against Hahn, the Bostonian coming in first with time of 4:10:06. Harold Osborne, the greatest all ' round track man of this day, staged an exhibition high jumping event. He cleared the bars at six feet six and three quarters inches but failed to break his world ' s record of six feet, eight inches made the previous day. The third special event was a 200-metre special race between Jackson Scholtz, New York .Athletic Club and Olympic 200-metre champion, and Chaeney, of Howard Payne, T.I. .A. .A. champion. The world ' s champion came in ahead — time, 21 2-10 seconds. Among the regular events that caused a great deal of interest was the final heat of the intercollegiate 100-yard dash. Evans, fame d Illinois sprinter, was defeated some two yards by Poth, the Texas Aggie who covered the distance in 9.9 seconds. For three laps of the two-mile varsity race, the Mississippi .A. and M. team appeared to be the winners hut Yarnell of the Illinois brought his team in the Sc iollz {N.Y.A.C.) at finish of 100-yard dash; time g:S:io seconds d ( © l%c€ v inner during the last 200 yards. The high hurdles, Varsity section, contained several stars including the Olympic star, Kinsey (Illinois) and Snyder and Gu- thrie (Ohio). The latter won the event; time 15 1-5 seconds. In the great mile relay race, Butler College was the winner with Notre Dame and Illinois second and third respectively. Butler tied for first place in the half mile Varsity relay with Illinois, Notre Dame being second. Richardson, big Missouri University star, won both the shot put and the discus throw. He holds the record for the shot put, Priester (Mississippi Aggies) hurled the javelin 186 feet, 8 inches for a first place in that event. Oneotthe most interesting contests was the pole vault which was finally won by Lancaster of Missouri who crossed the bars at 12 feet, 6 inches. Burleson College won honors in the college events, while in the Academy section San Marcos carried off most ot the honors and the awards. Many high schools were entered in the meet and furnished some of the most interesting races of the day. Forest High, Dallas, won the mile relay and Cleburne won tbe half mile. Coles of Central High, Houston, did some nice work in both these races, however. Balliew, Beaumont, was the champion of the high school high hurdlers. Draper, Fort Worth High champion in several Rice meets, negotiated the century in 10 flat. For their endeavours in the relays, the winning relay teams received 13 loving cups. Illinois won the Sweeney challenge trophy which must be earned three times for permanent possession. George Martin and Tex Bayless also donated challenge trophies while the Institute handed out 208 watches and medals. Harold Osbo ii-orld champion high jumper doing 6:6: j-4 ?(i!

PROLOGUE The twenty-eighth of February was memorable in the annuals of The Rice Institute. On that day John Barleycorn received the death blow at the hands of his erstwhile closest friends. Shocking stories of the Bacchanalian orgy, the Freshmen dance, was re- sponsible for his undoing. The powers that be called the convi- vials to account mid weeping and wailina; and nashina; ot teeth. CHAPTER ONE THE DEAN ' S OFFICE Down the sawdust trail came stalwart Captain Smith with the tear ot God castmg a halo around his cherubic countenance. Rise, said the Dean, and lav bare vour transgressions and iniquities. Brushing a tear from those sky-blue eyes, penitent, quaveringly began. Robert Granville, I ' ve been a bad boy. I ' ve been sleeping in my B.V.D. ' s, playing marbles for keeps, and I have even been caught picking my teeth in public. But Dean, I ' m tired of the primrose path; this dissipation is killing me. I ' ll promise never to be a naughty boy CL 9t ® 1 5111 1%(€ again. From now on my life shall be as pure as a running brook. I ' ll go in for crocheting and tatting and make all my own underwear, I ' ll even sit down on the floor to put on my socks. Spoken like a man, gasped the Dean, Thy faith hath made thee whole. Go and sin no more. Me too, says Heflin, it ' s the one sin ot my lite. Slowly the Culprits trailed out. Hypocrites, quoth the Dean as he dumped mto the cuspidor the corks he had been savmg for evidence. CHAPTER TWO THE COMMONS (Students Assembled) Its got to stop ' yodeled Nash. Me too, echoed Heflin, men, I was sober at that Freshmen dance. I ate some salmon and drank some milk that upset my stomach. The reason I reeled like that was because the floor was a little rough. These town guys are the ones who raise all the hell. From now on these dances are going to be dry — dances that you ' ll enjoy taking your mother or your sister to. If not, I ' ll be there myself, in person. Harvey mounts the stump. Men, you know what I am, and you know how I am. From now on anybody who takes a drmk has got to deal with me.

And the champions, waxing passing wroth, did besmite the one the other with divers pasteries to the excessive glee of all who beheld. And the spectators being pleased they egged the contestants on that there might be more combat. And Sir Godley, he ot the derby hat and the mightie arm, did seize upon a cer- tain weapon wherewith he attacked his worthy opponent. But Benny, the wordly-wise, countered with no less missile than a tumbler, and the same was made of glass. And the combatants having been soundly spanked by P. E. Nash, the conflict was over and nought remained but the honor and the glory. Largest.

Those who are hard up for amusement join the P.A.L.S. Those who fail to rate that make the E.B.L.S. The remainder grace the roster of the O.W.L.S. The E.B.L.S. is an organization of females with ulterior motives. Their gifts of silver cups to the football men is evidence of their interest in ath- letics. One good turn deserves another. Are not all Godfearing gridsters bound by duty to keep an E.B.L.S. sister from being one of those botanical curiosities known as — sh-h — wall flowers. As social insurance, the E.B.L.S. awards are unbeatable. Diplomacy, thy name is Elizabeth Baldwin. Rivaling political masters of the country store circle are the members of the Liternational Discussion group. The group, however, has no warm stove on which to rest its feet. These great minds have devised a means for saving the world from war, famine, and Saturday night baths. They are now upon a scheme for differentiating between third base and Shinola. L ' nder the care of Master George Red, the Y.M.C.A. has thrived and prospered. This sterling conductor ot human destinies has built up a thriv- ing and prosperous organization. Its efficient activities in the past point to a future of thrift and prosperity. Mr. Red is to be congratulated for his ability to make the Y thrive and prosper.

More words on this inviting subject could not be detrimental to the democracy of Rice, and restraint is excellent e.xercise tor the soul. Which brings us to the Writing Club, composed of the saidstic ones (who delight in torturing the victims of their windy manuscripts), and the masochistic ones (who take equal pleasure in the excruciating boredom offered by this sewing circle).

Themselves men of moral integrity, the members of the Hall Committee have been shining examples to their faltering fellows. East Hall, has been as quiet and peaceful as a Mexican dance hall. Every bottle of bev- erage has been passed by such experts as Smith and Syphistocles Hairston. As usual, the only infringement of the gen- tlemen ' s club, so-called in the catalogue from the Dean ' s office, came in West Hall. After a midnight of hilarity, Jack Womack refused to be given a cold shower and hurled a bottle at the head of the guardian of the peace, Withington. Becom- ing extremely provoked at such boisterous conduct, he assembled his fellow guar- dians of the common weal. Jack, ordered from the halls, spent a delightful fort- night at the Touraine. Under the eagle-eyed Blondy Tadlock anci the dauntless Gordon Beale, South Hall has taken on the mien of a girls seminary. Some difficulty was experienced with recalcitrant freshmen who persisted in playing rook, dominoes and other vile games of chance. These moral degenerates were promptly ostracized by their comrades and made to see the error of their ways. The members of the Hall Committee have performed their duties honestly and conscientiously. Vanity suggests that each be presented with some token of esteem, a gift that would be of use in later years, and at the same time a constant reminder of past years at dear old Rice. Nothing could be more suitable than a sterling silver combination corkscrew and bottle opener, suitably engraved. Presentation should be made in the Amph. with Mary Trammell as master of ceremonies. EXHIBIT A Another myth has been disproved! It has been rumored (not without cause), that George Oliver Morgan, Jr., never bought a package of cigarettes in his life.

Theologians are beginning to debate: Is this or is this not an apocryphal writing? As yet, no decision has been reached. In the mean- time, the Campanile, by special arrangement with the discoverer, prints for the first time a complete revelation.) CHAPTER I The Prophet Succumbs. 1. Lo! I was sick and I was faltering and I could stand no more. 2. And so thither went I unto my house, and unto my bed, and there I slept. CHAPTER 2 An Angel Bringeth a I ' ision 1. And came then to me a vision, and behold! an angel stood before me. 2. Know you not that you should be up and doing? J. And I answered him, saying: 4. Lo! my purse is empty. I have already been done. 5 And he spake again: Blessed are they who thus are persecuted, for they are full of the spirit, anci unto them things shall be as in a dream revealed. What- cha wanta know? CHAPTER :; The Prophet Doubts and is Reassured 1. But how, asked I, am I to know that you are truly a representative of the living Lord? 2. Lo! the angel cried with a flutter. Lo, I have never had the desire to part my hair in the middle. CHAPTER 4 The Prophet asks a Serious Question 1. Satisfied, I propounded, asking: 2. Has the editor ot a college comic chance ot gaining heaven? CHAPTER 5 The Angel Revealed I. The wicked gaineth not to heaven nor the good to hell, he said; and straight- way I disconnected and plugged in on another line; the vision changed; and I beheld a room like unto a parlor; and there sat a man and a woman; and I knew that my question was then to be answered.

And I saw him propose, and the light that inviteth was in her eye, and could mean but one thing; yea, verily, in a frenzy oratorical he threw his knee and heart at her feet. 1. And I saw that the maid did lean to him, and that she was in an eagerness to accept him; and yet tor a moment she said nought. 3. And when she began she said this: 4. Jonathan, I knoweth not whether I should tell this to thee, but you remember well when together we were in the Institute of the Learned. 5. And he replied, saying: 6. Lo! I do remember. 7. She said, I was happy and free of care. Neither had Satan whispered tempta- tion into mine ear. Nor had wrongness contaminated my flesh. 8. And it came to pass that I met a most polite and delightful young man. Lo! All was at first O. K. We were introduced, with properness. Somehow I met him again and again. I realized not what these meetings were leading to. Fi- nally, O how could I have done such a thing, finally. . . 9. But in kindness, he interrupted, saying: Wait! Cease! I understand. It could not have been your fault. 10. And she lifted her eyes and they were dim with tears. They met his gaze filled with love, and she was astonished. Oh Jonathan, is it possible that you are kind and brave, and big enough to forgive? CHAPTER 7. The Magnanimity of the Man I. This he replied: I forgive. The thought of it will not be tor us again. 1. And with a contented sob she nestled close. And she buried her pertumed hair on his strong shoulder. And she spoke: 3. Hardly can I realize that you have torgiven me, she contentedly sighed. You see, he was editor of THE PURPLE PAJAMES, the College Comic, and he desired that I draw and write for his magazine. Naturally I did at first shrink back, but the serpent hissed and insinuated until I saw black as white. And at length I was persuaded to contribute. My years were few, so that I did not then realize. . . 4. But her confession was never finished. With the cry ot a savage, Jonathan seized the first object at hand, his hat, and made a complete and final exit. 5. And then it appeared that the editor was roundly damned. CHAPTER 8 The Plsion is Completed I. And lo, the scene changed, and I tound myself in my bed once again and my head from the vision was left throbbing so that I did call for ice.

F 31 l%c€ ' h ' JA ' mm d St flj F sm iiufi Who ' s JVho—zAnd Why Serious and Frivolous Facts About the Great and the Near Great FRANCISCO Francisco (at the right in the picture above), was born for no reason whatever on deep Elm in Dallas, Texas, in the year 1912. His lung de- velopment first became noticeable while still a baby. His screeches and bawls could often be heard above the station for a mile or more. A capacity for leader- ship made his gang fear- ed in the alleys and freight yards. At high school, his keen intellect and charming person- ality marked him a man ot destiny. Shortly after arriving at the age ot pu- berty he graduated from Brvan High. The Trustees and Fac- ult - of Rice Institute were fortunate enough to inciuce him to pat- ronize Rice. Here the hidden talents of the young genius began to be displayed in all their glory and abundance. No snipe was too short for him to shoot. No dance was too exclusive for him to crash. Recog- nition from the social elite began with an invi- tation to Frankie Maud Murphy ' s ball. Here he distinguished himself by snapping his cookies on two drinks of borrowed liquor. Then the monotony of continued social func- tions became irksome. He found the curriculum cramped his style. After a long letter from the faculty, he rode the blinds back to the city which will one da} ' be famous as his birthplace. The sewage dispo- sal department made use of his talents, and he is now engaged in accumu- lating the second mil- lion — the first million beingconsidered difficult. EDGAR BARTLETT GODLEY The subject of this sketch was born in Cleve- land, Ohio, the year of Halley ' s comet. Super- stitious natives still as- sociate his birth with that phenomena. While a boy, he was the joy of his mother and the pride of his pedagogues. By some queer quirk of chance he chose Rice as the institution to be hon- ored with his education. Here the intense ri- valry of the clubs to se- cure his membership fi- nally brought about the disruption of all frater- nities. As a master of street-car profanity, un- godley Godley has no peer. His barber-shop soprano rendition of God- dam produces an im- pression never to be for- gotten. His dominion over feminine hearts marks him as a shiek of the first water and an all-around he-man. d iR[ © F i:! iXf€[ Ml ' S ' J ' % ■ C[ ( © F 11 l%c€ ' ?« W K mm d (Bt cij F ?[ n i5ue (H © 1 31 i%c( The Collitch Boy Lectures With ponderous and heavy tread, Satan, his face wreathed in a frown, paced the floor of his den. The heavy and almost cushioned Persian rugs emitted not a sound as he relentlessly retraced his steps. For in truth, our royal host was expecting a visitor, one already two hours late. The expected one, a college boy, was to come with the observation of life at his finger tips. The bell clanged ominously and instantly the irresistible sainted devil was ushered into the presence of the Underworld who quailed at this youthful speci- men of erudition standing before him. Proceed, commanded Satan for this was the night that he was to receive a practical education. Well, began this youngster, innocent of face and demeanor. Women are my creed. Observation ot them at work, play, exercise, and love has enabled me to codify their actions into the simplest form — they become as clay in the hands of the modeler. Their methods of attack, for they are continually in pursuit of the more elusive male are as varied as men. To the intellectual man their mood is one ot forced brilliancy, when they should be sweet, nonsensical, and sprightly. Diver- sion is what the mentally weaned man needs — not more work. For the shy and timid youth, there is the ever touching of elbows, the lingering hand, the gentle contact of knees. And this point is good, continued the youthful sage, for this is merely preparation that overcomes an unnatural hesitancy. At the Devil ' s suggestion the story continued. There is the woman that is different. The one desiring a literary career always posted on the latest novels and passionate from a surfeit of modern poetry. She has suffered from an illusion that literature is for women. The cure is unconventionality, an attempt at free love and the illusion is destroyed. Pausing to cross one faultless crease with another, the story was once again resumed. Life is made weary by the all-around girl, the capable and efficient politician, the student and the activity-prominent fem- inine bore. But here is a poor creature past redemption and without hope of salvation, and she must be avoided if she is not to be ridiculed. And the queen, she of the regal bearing and of mind astute, presents the simplest problem of all. This is the nearest of the modern type to the medieval shrew. Petruchio ' s methods are ample even in this day and age of sex equality. The pathetic problem is the indulger in sexercise — the bundle of nerves, and high strung passions. To this woman, a kiss is a thing of art and art should be countered with art. Unless you care to force her to admire your artistry by a demonstration, an atmosphere of indifference lightened with your personal views of osculation will bring her to your feet. Let her lay! For you old Hell-Raiser, the collitch boy spumed at the Devil, this last is the most important maxim of all. They ' re all like a roller-coaster at the top of a high hill. Just a mere start, this is the only effort required, and the race is on. None will fail to rage and tumble like a mountain torrent if you but furnish the spring. You yourself, may stumble as often as you like — but never fall. This all is the motto of the Rice Institute, founded for liberal learning. m 0iS CL 9i ( 1JU€ StNOre MoWTAvJ CL ,,MS I — ruu ' - ' -Vt es sotCo 9n£SowB.Q(,y i-o 1-n- ] ' M ' .(VS Ookto ftSJUWLT AuuA rtCutu KoctV- CI ( Q F 5ni 1%(€ The Horrorscope! Since the campus scavenger has finally disposed of the reeking carcasses of former Horrorscope headliners, notably Ben Mitchell, Catherine Button, Ben Duggan and others of that ilk. Vanity scans in vam the greasy faces of the rabble in search of new occupants of her Hall of 111 Fame. The vacant niches must be filled. By special request of I ' m Wilford, by the grace of God president ot the senior class and baseball captain with a batting average of .003, his position of leader- ship in this, the ranks of the nips, has been maintained. First in graft, first in gripes, and first in the eyes of his own estimation, this peerless product of the tall Blue Grass leaves the scenes of his triumphs to impose his abominable personality upon a long-suffering world. And a little child shall lead them. Clarence Alfred Johnson, the boy prodigy from the wilds of Elcampo, with the body of Abraham Lincoln and the head of Andy Gump, will control the destinities of Rice for the ensuing year. He has a head that reveals real presidential timber. Vanity does not believe in the double standard. Why has Mary Trammell de- prived the football team of her possible brain and evident brawn? With a physique to inspire a sculptor of horses, mayhap a Cerrachio, this delicate Amazonian Nymph would strike terror into the hearts of our enemies on the gridiron. To Julius Lyman Edward Jesus Christ Enckson, authority on all things mun- dane and celestial. Vanity assigns a position comparable only to the infinitesmal atom. The petrification of his brain seems to be accompanied by an increased ac- tivity of his tongue. Vanity points with pride to that favorite child of iniquity, Syphistocles Hair- ston, the renegade roisterer. Hailed by the multitude as a patriarch of pernicious platitudes, this man is able to withstand all tests. He is a scholar and a good judge of whiskey. Shades ot Patrick Henry. Since Rice has not furnished a sufficiently apprecia- tive audience for his oratorical outbursts, John Patrick Nicholson, hurdle hopper de hixe has departed from us for remorse regions where gab is golden and silence is tarboo. Si ,i ' f w, mmfp. ¥.i ' j ([t © ITc Sincere Sam Williams, the hail fellow well rid, annoys even the most patient with his studied repulsiveness. He justifies his most contemptible actions with even more contemptible aiibies, thereby classifying himself with Robert Morris, explainer extraordinary. Even as the exploits ot Rudolph Rassendale glorify the news comics, so do the great deeds of Mason Barron make his power feared and respected on the campus. The remarkable success which attended his part in the Soph-Slime struggle por- tends a great future as a leader of the rising generation at Rice and finally as a floorwalker. What boots a baseball game when the charms of a fair damsel are so near at hand? Up to the College of Innocent Angels hied sturdy Shirley DaCamera, the smug Romeo from the land of tequila and sensual senoritas. But thanks to Jupiter Pluvius, our baseball team, minus his services, returned from Dallas without de- feat. Lovett Abercrombie, business manager of this publication, deserves attention. Freely and in a spirit of loving self-sacrifice, he has given his time and efforts all for the sake of dear old Rice, — and that commission. Vanity predicts that this fi- nancial wizard will control the enciowment fund ere his career at Rice is ended. In politics, too, his ability for organization places him in the class with the Great Commoner and with Tammany Hall. Down from the great Staked Plains where men are men and so are women stride; Charles Pattillo Tadlock, he-man. His superb masculinity makes him feared by men and respected by women. William Mozart McVey, the man with a face like the map of Mexico after a hard revolution, has proved to the satisfaction of all, that gamboling on the green in one May Fight is not unbecoming to a Duke in the succeeding festival. Chaste Chauncey Stewart is a man of considerable importance both in his own estimation and in the eyes of the fatuous females who would fain broadcast their beauty in the pages of this publication. While his tactics of selection cannot be commended. Vanity admires his ability to make the most of his opportunities. Jack Henderson, emigrant from the Cow College, brings with him the odors of the barnyard and the manners of the stable. His tactics on the boulevard speak plainly of past courtship with College Station laundresses. d p: © F iCI l%i€ % You never can tell ' till you ' ve tried ' em, and then you are apt to be wrong. The irresistible force has at least encountered the immovable object. Joe Prafka and Dot Hunt are reported to be ensnared in the toils of love. Vanity hopes for a no- decision bout. Roy Chambers, reformer and grub-hound ot purest ray serene, lets nothing stand in the way ot his insatiable appetite. He gluts himself with mess hall mys- teries and daily chants before the senior dining room: is six o ' clock mid the doors are locked And the cooks are still in bed. But now at last Vll break my fast, I want my raisin bread. Vanity views with alarm the journalistic prominence of that lackadaisical lad, Theodore Baytop Stubbs. His editorial policies will relegate the Thresher to a po- sition of degradation alongside the trusty corn-cob and the Sear-Roebuck cata- logue. Williams Cecil Heflin, the most popular man who ever lived, looms too large in the limelight to escape Vanity ' s notice. His upstanding moral character was clearly revealed at the Slime Shindig. Vanity admires his ability to recognize the eligible under alcoholic difficulties and attributes the exclusiveness of the affair largely to his watchdog tactics. Uttering grandiose puerilities. Jack Glenn, the idealistic hobgoblin of little minds stalks gleefully about seeking whom he may bore. Chattering like a child in a confectionery, he leaves the impression of an acute case of arrested develop- ment. Normal Nancy Tucker appears in the beauty section of this Campanile. She is the girl Benjamm Frankhn had in mind when he wrote She stoops to Conquer. Besides being irritatingly loquacious, she talks too much. ' ' « ' ■■ JJ 7 J ' A cl © lTi€ { i  ? The chivalric attitude of Slime Wliarton toward the fair sex reveals him for the true gentleman that he is. Robert Townes Morris Junior, the purest ot the Puritans, has shown a praise- worthy solicitude for the morals and manners of readers of college comics. Vanity recommends Tlie Owl to all mothers for bedtime stories. Vanity ' s conception of a clean-cut man is Frank Vaughn. Affable, yet coura- geous and energetic, he is the true type of the would-be an aristocrat. Rosalyn Zucht brings a new type of character into the field — the precocious child of misanthropy. Her fascinating cynicism is only one of her attractive fea- tures. In her delightfully naive way, she prefers the old fashioned method of il- lumination by candles to the modern system of electric lights. To her intimates she is known as Little Sunshine. Jack Womack, the overgrown infant from the oil fields, is a shining e.xample of what efficiency experts call a go-getter. His virile energy and vaulting ambition have placed him and kept him in a position that is unique as regards bodily posture. Born with a genius for making herself unwelcome wherever she happens to be, Hazel Cannon has developed her natural gifts to such an extent that she is subject to the odium of the few democratic people who admit acquaintanceship with her. Her aim in life is vamping freshmen — dumb ones at that. That effusive incubus of the cloisters, Lura Duff, brings tears to the eyes of those who still have faith in the human race. Her attempts at humor are of the variety ordinarily termed pitiable. Walter Pye, who has been closely associated with T w Oiul in its decline from decency, has done great work in the reformation of other fields. He attends all Ditch Digger ' s Hops, Policemen ' s Balls, and Luna Park festivities where his presence has an edifying effect. None but the brave deserve the fair! And vice-versa. Sonny Carter has a claim to pre-eminence in affairs of the heart that is indisputable. By the despi- cable methods he employs in his amours, he has managed to work himself out of the good graces of all self-respecting persons. Justice should be tempered with mercy. Vanity, recalling the famous words of King Solomon on his sixty-third nuptial night, Don ' t cheer the poor devils are dying, pins a wee sprig of mistletoe to her bustle and makes a graceful exit. —VANITY L ' Envoi In the name ot Doc Lovett the compassionate and merciful. There is no God but J. T. McCants and Noah Wade is his prophet. To the children of the Lord and the Defenders of the faith be it said. And it is said as follows: My children, if ye be critical, remember that there are more things m heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy. And a few of these things are contained herein. If there be aught which sitteth not to your liking, forget not your sins and iniquities bear testimony against you. To the pure all things scurrilous. And evil deeds must have a name. Be not like the tumblebug. There is no conscience but a guilty conscience. An honest accusation is good for the soul.

The names of these people are on the staff list in the Organization section. It is a long list, truly, but everyone there did what they were asked to do and in so doing have made this book possible. In particular, do we wish to call atten- tion to the work of Edward B. Arrants, the Art Editor, and his associated artists. Their work has given to this annual a distinctive- ness that is a pleasing contrast to the art work of so many yearbooks. Edward Ar- rants worked hard and faithfully; his ex- cellent workmanship is seen in the borders, cover, opening pages, the Campus color plate. A man of exceptionally fine taste and artistic judgment, he has wrought a harmonious book. John Clarke Tiddeh, the friend and adviser of all the student activities ot the Campus,, aided us with several works of outstanding merit. His advice was sought on various matters; his suggestions were always willinglv made aiui gratefully accepted. Tom Stell, Art Editor in 1922, and Evelyn Byers, another former art editor, painted the remaining color plates. Stell ' s characteristic style will be recognized in the Rack page. Miss Byer ' s did the strik- ing and different Vanity Fair title page — a drawing that is in every way appropriate to the subject. To them, the staff offers their sincere appreciation. Margaret Brisbine, another former Rice artist of note, is repre- sented by two sub-titles that possess a style seldom found in college annuals. That she was willing to aid us is a source of great gratification to the editors. H. A. Gibbon, photographer, completed two years of faithful work on the CaiupcDiilc. Efficient and experienced, he was always on the job. Mr. George Yax and Henry Stamm, the engraver and the printer rendered invalu- able service. Masters in their craft, their aid was not merely mechanical perfection — the spirit that animated them and their helpful suggestions were of more benefit to — The Editors Evelyn Bvers OOK not too hastily through these ads, mv friends, they make this book pos- sible. To these men herein we owe a debt of thanks. They appreciate us. They recog- nize the worth of our University. Thev know that the development of college spirit, the attainment of the greatest good of college life is aided by this publication. Therefore, turn each page ten- derly, with a feeling of gratitude, of appreciation; and when into the world you go, and our book is placed aside, remember that to these men we are indebted.
