Braginton. DR. MARY V. BRAGINTON INAUGURATION On the morning of October tenth, with as dignified a ceremony as has ever been held on the campus of Rockford College, Dr. Gordon Keith Chalmers was inaugurated the ninth president of our institution. Distinguished figures in the educational and literary worlds came to Rockford to take part in the installation. -ls a stringed quartet played the M'zzrchf Fc7JfZ.i'H!t', by Klendelssohn-Bartholdy, the assembled guests in the quadrangle watched the academic processicn walk slowly down the court. It was led by the senior marshalls, Dr. John Gordon, acting president of the college last year. Klr. llvebb Stevens, vice-president of the Board foew f Trustees, Dr. Chalmers, and Dr. Norman Foerster, guest speaker. The Howing black robes with brilliant bands, the symbolic hoods, and the mwrtar boards passed in dignilied line amid the drifting leaves ofthe golden Qctober day. Behind Dr. Chalmers and Dr. Foerster marched the trustees ofthe college. the presidents and representatives of other colleges and universities, the members ofthe Rockford College faculty, and the senior class, in its newly acquired academic dress. 1 After an invocation pronounced by Dr. John Gordon, Dr. Norman Foerster, of the State University of Iowa, addressed the college and its guests. His subject was The Individual and Society. He enjoined the college to maintain the liberal tradition it derived from Greece and Judea against the dangers of what he called materialistic emphasis of science and humanitarianism. And he hoped that though civilization has placed responsibility for human affairs upon society, the college would help to return it to the individual. Nlr. VVebb Stevens, acting in behalf of the Board of Trustees, invested Dr. Chalmers with the oflice of President of Rockford College. In Dr. Chalmers, inaugural address, The College and Alexandria, he drew a comparison between the barrenness of contemporary thought and the failure of Alexandria to create any- thing valuable. He said that today we place too much emphasis upon quantity instead of quality. The college, by its structure, by its philosophy, and by the character of its teachers, has a unique opportunity to save its members from Alexandrianism, by aiding them in the mastery of the small body of generally useful knowledge, and by encouraging them to utilize their knowledge in gracious and productive living. 5 7 .4 f5,?a , Representatives of colleges and universities in many parts of the country and other distinguished guests attended the inauguration of President Gordon Keith Chalmers. Among them were President Mary E. YVoolley of lVlount Holyoke College, Professor Norman Foerster, Robert Frost, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, President Vlfalter Dill Scott of Northwestern University, and lWrs. Martha Hillard Klaclaeish, former principal of Rockford Female Seminary. Their presence added much to the impressiveness of the occasion. F Mrs. MacLeish, Whose administration followed that of the founder, Anna P. Sill, took up her work as principal of the seminary just fifty years ago, Qctober Io, 1884. President Chalmers is a graduate of Brown University and holds the degree master of arts from Oxford University and that of doctor of philosophy from Harvard. He comes to us from hlount Holyoke College, where both he and his wife, Roberta Teale Swartz Chalmers, were members of the department of English. Their coming serves to strengthen the bond of friendship which has long existed between Rockford and lXflount Holyoke. Wie wish to extend a hearty welcome to President and Mrs. Chalmers, with a determination to cooperate to the best of our ability in all that may serve to maintain the high ideals of Rockford College. 6 DR.

It is the old query as to function put anew. Socrates inquired of his listeners, 'Wihat is justice? ..., I ustice is doing onels ownf In Socrates' mind justice was necessary both to the state and to the citizen. For the state, it meant the right functioning of the wholeg in reference to the citizen it became fthe quality . . . of every one's doing his own workf VVe might include in our discussions at hffaddox House two questions which involve the essence of this Socratic conception: What is the function of Rockford College? What is the function of those who make and are made by R. C.? Socrates gave his own reply. To supply the answers to our questions is the purpose of the 1936 Cupola. But we do not need to formulate answers: we have only to reveal them. They are already embodied in our campus activities. The presentation of them proceeds from college groups to those persons who have best conceived their individual and communal purposes. The truest answer appears in the Queen on lNflay Day. She represents the woman who is most 6impo'tant to de state, of R. C. Is assistance in the development of every potential hffay Queen into a woman who will be queenly each day of the year, the function of Rockford College? 17 COLLEGE GOVERNMENT ASSQCIATION XYIRGINIA GRANT . , , , . , IJmf1'dfnr KIARTHA LEE BOZEIIIAN Prf.fz'dmf of fudirial Counfil FRANCES CARPENTER , . . fud1'fz'al Council ELIZABETH RHOADES fuo'ifz'alCounri1 ELEANORE EDNVARDS , judicial Council NIILDRED XIITCHELL , Clzairnzafz of Budget .XNN XIVAN DYRE . .

Every student upon entering college becomes a memberof the association. She is in honor bound to obey its regulations and to cooperate in furthering its purposes. The College Government board includes, besides the college government ofhcers, the presidents cf the classes and of the larger student organizations. Its function is to discuss campus problems, and to make recommendations concerning them to the appropriate executive officers. Offenders against regulations are dealt with by Judicial council, which examines the offense and renders decisions as nearly just as possible. 18 TOVVN STUDENT ASSOCIATION RUTH Wizsr . . . . .

They have a board to supervise their own government whose president is a member of College Government board. In this way they are able to cooperate with house students. Supervision and enforcement of rules for quiet and order makes this organization sound very forbidding indeed, but it is also the instigator of many good-times and conveniences. This year the town students had a cabaret party for freshmen and new students. Everybody had a grand time and made as much noise as she pleased. If you happen to see a new comfortable chair or a bright cretonne curtain in lower Adams, you may be certain that it was bought with funds from the yearly bake-sale of which the board has charge. A feeling of unity between house and town students is essential to a happy college life. Town Students' board has ever been the official mediator between the two groups. 19 WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION iXLicE HII,LlNGEIl XIARGARET EBELINQ lhlARY lf. PENNOCR HELEN RAY .

Behind the organization is the council, to which all business is brought before being present- ed to the organization. The council authorizes new sports and acts as an advisory group to W7.A.A. The Council is composed of the leaders of the various athletic groups here at Rockford College. VV.A.A. is open to the whcle college, and membership is secured by a fixed number of points received for athletic participation. The association is an incentive for a keen interest in sports and a desire for physical fitness. 20 MINSTREL SHOW LA philosopher is a man what knows all de answers, if yo' lets him ax de questions., VV.A.A. annual minstrel shows are intended to introduce the freshmen to the college in its lighter moods. The production, written, directed, and acted by students, occurs the first Saturday night of the school year. This year Frances Jennings' Kongo Kapfrf was enjoyed by a large audience. The setting was in an African jungle, to which came a party of blackface explorers. They proceeded to get themselves into trouble by protecting a deposed native king who was fleeing from the newly installed dictator of his tribe. Those familiar with the annual productions were pleased to hear again GVVhen The Bluebirds and the Blackbirds Get Together' and 'For I've Been Down, Down, Downf Dr. Abbie Findlay Potts, in her review of the performance, said 'The prime function of these Kapfrf is to illustrate for the new members of the college the energy and goodwill of their older sisters, and the foresight and solidarity which make possible in one short week of rehearsal an evening of fun and songf 21 SENIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN 2 JUNIORS SENIORS -IUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMIZN ARMY-NAVY GAME As a climax to the hockey season, the annual Army-Navy game was played on Thanksgiving morning. The campus hockey-field was transformed into a veritable stadium, With bleachers rising on either side to accomodate the enthusiastic rooters. Amid the blaring of the official college Army-Navy band, whose fantastically attired members Were putting their hearts and souls into the rendering of inspiring martial music from their so-called musical contraptions, the Army and Navy teams advanced onto the field lustily singing Weirf in the Army Now and Anchors Aweigh. They were a Worthy crew, representing the staunchest and ablest of the college hockey playersg every one of them was determined to keep the Army Cor Navyj standard waving on high. Between halves, the Army mule and Navy goat cavorted about the field, staging their tratitional battle to determine which team was the stronger. The goat won. Their pride challenged by the defeat of their mascot, Army rallied during the second half and crashed through with four goals, to Win by one point,4-3. 21 VARSITY BASKETBALL The IQ34-IQ35 varsity basketball team, announced by Nliss Henrietta Thomp- son at the swimming and basketball banquet of Monday night, Aflarch IO, is composed of Barbara Barrick, Doris Hansen, Corrine Quandt, and Nlargaret Reimers, forwards, and Alice Hillinger, Clara Johns, Lorraine Leavitt, and Mary Elizabeth Van Denberg, guards. Honorable mention was given Klary Bagley, Sheila Brossman, Anne Petersen and Bernice Stein. Varsity proved its prowess in the faculty-varsity game, which followed the dinner. The 'brain trusters, arrived en masse, wearing caps and gowns, chewing gum, and singing as only the faculty can. A heart-rending concert ensued upon their settling themselves on bleachers. Rooters for the varsity managed to get in a cheer or two before the fracas began. The referee became so Hustered that at one time she tossed a horse instead of a basketball. The first half of the game was a ludicrous frenzy, but later the players began to conduct themselves more seriously. Vlflhen it was all over the scores were: women faculty-6, varsity-18, men faculty-4, varsity-12. The evening's fun left the faculty and students with a feeling of solidarity and comradship more keen than that gained from any other college functicn. 25 TRITON rXt'D1u:YNoR'rH . . Pre.vz'denr The high light of this year for Triton club was the Inter-Class swimming meet in which Beloit college was invited to participate. Competition between classes is always keen, but enthusiasm was heightened by the presence of swimmers from Beloit. Later interest was centered in the telegraphic meet, the results of which were exchanged by telegram between colleges throughout the United States to determine the individual and college national swimming champion. Qther bright spots on the club calendar were splash party at Beloit and spring house party. Triton also sponsors splash parties here at Rockford College, at which the guests enjoy themselves playing water baseball, keep-away, and other exciting games in the pool. hlembership in this club depends on the attainment of speed, form, and distance in swimming. Almost the entire club are senior Red Cross life savers, and three are fullfledged examiners. Regular Thursday night meetings are set aside for discussion and planning of meets and social events. 2 fi C R E W Three miles north of the college on a quiet and secluded part of the river, one can watch members of the crew practice in the two new twenty-eight foot shells. Rowing for women is a sport of increasing popularity introduced to Rockford Ccllege this year for the first time. There is a new boat house, and the sixty-live girls who make up 'crew' may row three days a week. The shells with their Wide oars are not tipsy, but every crew member must be a good swimmer and be able to handle herself in the water. Klr. Ralph Hunn, the crew coach at the University of Wvisconsin, looked over the stretch of river that is used for the new sport and proclaimed it an ideal spot for rowing. The girls liked it so well that they had their dinners sent out to them and had picnics on the river bank. Competitive races add to the fun. The new sport has proved to be one that offers much enjoyment as well as training for physical htness. 7 DANCING Dance calls for keen minds and healthy, graceful bodies. Dance or the expres- sion of the mind through the body has found its place among the arts and at Rockford College. Famous professional dancers visiting here recently have helped to make us more 'dance minded' and caused us to look with interest on our own group. Harold Kreutzberg, German master of the modern dance, spent several days here at Rockford College as an instructor of a special class organized for this unusual opportunity. lXflartha Graham presented a dance recital in Rockford under the auspices of the college on March 13. Students of the dance and those merely interested in it as an art found her geometric and percussive interpretations of life something new and thought-provoking. Miss Graham has done much to establish a pure American dance form and considers movement the essence of the dance. FC llowing Klartha Graham, Miss I,ensch, under the sponsorship of the Advanced Dancing class, gave her first dance recital on Nfarch 23. Her program consisted of six interpretations: Passionata, Wialtz, Two Creeds, Tears, Solo of the Puppets, and Beggar Dance. 28 MADDOX HOUSE The success of Doctor Chalmers, idea of using Nladdox House as a clubhouse is clearly apparent from the enthusiasm of those who frequent it. All during the day and evening the bookshop and tea room are filled with groups of girls, chatting, singing, smoking, playing bridge, enjoying the delicious food which Nliss Mildred Kimball serves, and browsing in the good books near at hand on tables and shelves. Miss Lesley Frost, in charge of the book-shop, and her assistant, Mrs. Norman Thompson, aid readers in their selection and teach informally by discussing books and writers. Besides exhibiting rare books, prints, photographs, and woodcuts, the college makes it possible for students to meet authors who come to give talks and to read from their works. Carl Sandburg attended the opening of hfladdox House in the fall. Robert Frost, NlacKinlay Kantor, Jessica North, and Rigley Torrence also visited there. Vive are certain that Dr. VVilliam A. Nladdox, former president of the college, wculd be happy to know the use that is being made of his home. It has extended the campus, has fostered a genial exchange of ideas, and has brought town and house students into a closer relationship. 29 BERXICE STEIN . ELIZABETH Ri-ioiwris FRANCES STARR . A R.

Town Srudenlf From the moment of her initiation into college life by Tolo, at the Freshman Tolo Stunt party, every girl is considered a member of this organization, which serves to unite the students along social and recreational lines. The executive board of the association is Tolo council, which is made up of the Tolo officers, two representatives frc m each class, and two from the Town Students, association. This council makes the decisions in all matters of social interest. Arrangements for the various social events of the college are made by com- mittees appointed by Tolo, which attempts to place each girl on at least one com- mittee during the year. Proms are given each year by the freshmen and by the upper classmen, and other formal and informal dances are held at intervals. 30 HALLOWE'EN PARTY A legend has it that the ghost of Anna P. Sill walks, with slow and stately tread, down the entire length of the college dining room at exactly twenty minutes past six. Amid a breathless silence during Hallowe'en dinner, the entire assem- blage of faculty members, students, and friends beheld the ghost taking her nightly promenade. In her hand she reverently held a bookg in her eyes was a far-away expression showing plainly that she was of the spirit world and among us but for the moment. The gymnasium proved a fit setting for the fantastic masquerade after dinner. Ghosts leered from every corner, black cats and witches pranced on the walls, and one very formidable witch was so obliging as to tell the fortunes of those revel- ers who were brave enough to pry into the future. VVhen exhausted from dancing and romping, those who wished could 'bob' for apples in the gym annex. The Sophomore class was in charge of Hallowe'en party. They planned the feast in the dining room and the dancing and revelry in the gymnasium. 31 MOCK PROM hlock Prom is an event which Tolo plans for the first week-end after Christmas vacation. It is usually anticipated with much excitement, but this year the question arose as to whether or not we preferred a different type of party. It was suggested that we have a dinner as usual, but that it be followed by a dance to which men would be invited. After much discussion, the Tolo meeting decided in favor of the traditional Xlock Prom. In spite of the close vote, hlock Prom was attended by many. A dinner, with dancing between courses, was followed by dancing in the gymnasium. Formals, tuxedoes, programs, and appropriate decorations made the affair real to everyone present. A novel feature of the evening was the waltz contest, judged by hliss Dorothea Lensch and Kliss Irene Clayton. Finally the number of dancers was narrowed down to two couples: Kliss hflabel Staudinger and Dorothy Colwell, and Helen Maclay and Mildred Mitchell. In the dimly lighted gymnasium, they dipped and swayed, until Miss Staudinger and Dorothy remained the champion waltzers of Rockford College. 32 WASHINGTON PARTY The dining room was candle-lighted, and each table was decorated with clusters of tiny colonial flags. In this setting, the college and friends ate VVashington dinner, sang early-American songs, and were entertained by Priscilla Kingman, who sang VVashington's favorite song, My Lovely Celia, by Vlfilson. After dinner everyone went to the gymnasium for dancing. It had been trans- formed into a stately ball-room, with wall-hangings of blue, white ruffled curtains at the windows, and a glowing fireplace at one side. To the strains of the MZi'7ZllEf in G, fourteen freshmen moved through the measures of the traditional minuet. At its conclusion, a little negro boy sneaked in to entertain the company with a dance. As he left the floor, four gentlemen with their ladies entered the ball-room, and danced the graceful, vivacious 'hlerry Widow' waltz. Then followed the grand march, from which all the dancers swung off into modern rhythm for the remainder of the evening. The party was in charge of the Seniors and Sophomores. The chairman and co-chairman respectively were the presidents of the Senior and Sophomore classes. 33 FRESHMAN PROM NIARTHA WRIGHT . PROM CHAIRMAN Freshman Prom is the biggest event of the first year social season. Legendary bad weather did not prevent the party's having the spirit of spring. Fierce north winds, rain, and snow did not dampen the enthusiasm of the freshmen at their own party in the Crystal Ball room of the Nelson hotel. Golden jonquils and white sweet peas as centerpieces on the tables, and yellow balloons, floating from the ceiling, successfully detracted thoughts of the alternat- ing elements. Freshmen were greeted by upperclassmen hostesses, who relieved the guests and the receiving line by bearing the burden of introductions. New spring gowns and colorful corsages helped to make the party one the freshmen will long remember. 34 UPPERCLASSMAN PROM BERN1cE STEIN Prom Qurfzz Upperclassman Prom is the first dance of the spring season. liighty couples attended, and the Faust hotel was a veritable garden of spring prints, organdie in flower shades, and pastel chiflons. Tall purple tapers cast mysterious shadows on fragrant corsages and purple and white sweet peas in the centerpieces, and made restless spots of fire in rhine- stone clips. Tables were arranged around the dance floor. One could dance between courses and sit congenially around them between dances after dinner was over. Couples coming in for dancing only added to the gaiety of the party. The twelve-piece orchestra supplemented by a constant murmuring of voices and sudden bursts of laughter made the dinner-dance a lively affair. The clever planning of the prom chairman contributed greatly to the success of the party. 3 5 IilLIZ,xEETII BRAID LXNNE ELMERS . GEORGIA WEBEEIQ ,TOANNE l,I'rTs . JULIA Josux , KIARIE llfxxsox .

Board gives thoughtful care to the consideration of how the association may function to promote the inner harmony of the college. Y. VV. plans our Thursday chapel programs, and the Thanksgiving and Com- Inencement vesper services that we all love. The board endeavors to promote world fellowship through frequent correspondence with our associate, Kobe college, in Japan. Better social relationship within the college is fostered by buffet suppers, town student tea, Christmas candle-light supper, and the Y. VV. C. A. picnic. The big and little sister relationship which has often resulted in life long friendship is also under the administration of the Y. XY. board. 36 5, ,, 1 fi-5 t BIG AND LITTLE SISTER BANQUET To the hundred forty-odd new students who arrived at Rockford College that day in mid-September, anyone with a kindly smile appeared a goddess. Into the confusion of unpacking, getting settled, and saying goodbye to families came the upper-classmen, the big sisters, in search of those whom the Y. VV. C. A. had appointed their little sisters. Everything was much simpler now that those who knew the plan of the buildings, the schedule of the day, the customs and traditions of the school had come to rescue them. After the first few days of bustling about, asking advice of obliging big sisters, being escorted to town to learn the shops and movie theaters, everyone was begin- ning to become acquainted. One could almost remember the names of the girls on one's corridor. Then came the night of the Big-Little Sister banquet. In the beautifully decorated, candle-lighted dining room groups of little sisters sat with their big sisters and met their friends. After the dinner there was the Tolo 'hdixer' in the gymnasium, the scene of dancing, chatting, and entertainment from obliging students. The spirit of Rockford had entered them, and all were ready to begin college in earnest. 37 imma. ' SENIOR CLASS llr1LEN KIACLAY . .

Anne Davies, president of the class, passed her fagot to the freshman president, that it may be used to light the Sophomore Day fire of next year. The Warmth and light of the fire were still in memory as the sophomores walked down the chapel aisle, later in the morning. Unforgettable meaning was given to the day by Martha Lee Bozeman, the senior they had chosen to address them. 'In all your tomorrows keep your fire of wisdom burning brightly enough to enable you to recognize your follies and to bring you an increasing knowledge of the beautiful, the good, the right, and the true.' 40 FRESHMAN CLASS RORJEYN HEss . .

C oftumef DRAMATIC CLUB Dramatic club has a three-fold purpose: first, developing the dramatic abilities of students through the interpretation of great dramatic texts, second, furthering cooperation and harmony among its members, and third, training the skills neces- sary for stagecraft. It offers many opportunities for acting, staging, coaching, and criticising. Novitiate membership is given in recognition of services rendered the club during the current school year. Regular membership is granted those students who have proved their ability and active interest by assisting in several productions. During 1934-1935 the club gave four major productions. In the autumn it presented Shaw's Captain Brafyboundbf Convfrfion, a play in which the warring factors of civilization are reconciled by a woman whofdominates the play because the character she represents dominates the world.' In December, the sophomores gave Barrieis Admirable Crichton, a social satire, revealing a mistaken society which had persistently set rank above merit. The freshmen play in January was Edwards, Damon and Pythiaf, a courtly story of friendship, just and unjust government, and rightful gain. In April the Dramatic club, as a climax to the yearis work, gave lbsen's Mafter- buildfr, a story of the problem resulting from a mistaken scale of values held by a Norwegian builder, Halvard Solness, and his wife, Aline, and a study of the conflict between the generations at the end of the nineteenth century. 47 ALPHA THETA JANE SCHXYAB . .

Elec- tions to Socratic are made by faculty members of this society which include mem- bers of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi. Freshmen and new students are not eligible for election, but an honor roll for first year students of high scholarship is read when associate members are announced at the Founders Day chapel pro- gram. Permanent members are elected from the senior class in June. Dr. Chalmers spoke to the candidates concerning the meaning of such an achievement and of the example ofthe great thinker for Whom the society is named before those elected received their pins, an indication of their accomplishment. At the Socratic dinner, Dr. Chalmers again spoke to the society, justifying a system of grades as a measure of ability. He concluded with a verse from XValt VVhitman's Song of the Open Road as exemplifying the non-final quality of this milestone of scholastic progress. 'Have the past struggles succeeded?

P MARTHA LEE BOZEMAN 'She must be representative of the spirit of Rock- ford College. She shall be enthusiastic in her loyalties, temperate in conduct, and dignified and gracious in bearing. She shall be widely interested and generously sympathetic, and hence related to the life of every group. She shall have thought constructively for the welfare of the college and have shown both conviction and courage in upholding its iCleals.' VIRGINIA GRANT ALICE HILLINGER THE RITUAL OF SPRING Year after year as the world goes 'round bringing the change of season from winter to spring, life seems to renew itself as compensation for the long stillness of winter. Down the centuries this change has been a time of great rejoicing, es- pecially among the people most oppressed by winter, those who live close to the soil. ln their impatient anticipation of Spring the people-of-the-soil grew afraid that it would not comeg so they sought to control nature by preparing the earth for seed even before it showed signs of life, and relived their work in creating rituals to express their need to the gods. One year. somewhere back in time, Spring was unusually late in coming, and each day the dejection and terror of the people increased as their rituals seemed to fail. They did not understand why they could no longer awaken the earth. They called for the Oracles of their country to advise them about what should be done. One folk tale explains that the Snow Queen and the King of Wvinter had a daughter, the Ice Klaiden, who, seeing love and companionship about her, had 8-L grown discontented in her isolation, and had asked her parents to give her a heart that she might feel life. They granted her wish, and soon she came to love the prince of a neighboring kingdom. They were united, but the Ice lXflaiden's happiness began only at its ending, for when she discovered the meaning of affec- tion, she melted and her lover with her. Their love was the supreme sacrifice to Spring. The Oracles charged the people to make a sacrifice. The youths and young women were called to appear before the Oracles, and out of their groups were chosen one maiden and one youth to offer themselves as a sacrifice for the renewal of life. For centuries such a sacrifice was made, perhaps it is still being offered. The rituals which symbolized for man his power over Spring and, at the same time, expressed to the gods his longing and need for it, were given form and life in uncivilized societies, by groups functioning as a whole. In building our ritual to arouse the appreciation of this recurrent miracle, we have worked as groups and formed together our conception of this universal need of renewed life. 8 5 U UEfuHM EU THE END WWWJWHH-fPi1lH U ROCKFORD ISABEL ABBOTT .
