3. THE GREAT INDIVIDUAL I announce the Great Individual, fluid as Nature, chaste, affectionate, compas- sionate, fully armed. . . . WALT WHITMAN OLLEGE is, after all, a collection of individual personalities, and we are more concerned with its men than with its campus or its history. As Commencement Day draws near, we are concerned most of all with 'the Great Individual who stands at last upon the threshold of the World at large. He should fulfill Walt Whitman's description-and for the most part the average Rutgers senior does. Before presenting the separate talents of its members, however, we pause to consider the Class of 1939 as a whole. A group of 4.19 meek freshmen, the class was the largest since 1928, and its size worried the sophomores from the break-up of the fresh- man pee-rade. The football team was good but its numbers dwin- dled. The class diminished, likewise, though the drop to 349 sopho- mores Was said to be the lowest mortality rate in five years. Randy Dodge was sophomore president and promoter of the first Sophomore Barbecue. Dick Coe took over the oHice the next year as leader of 307 juniors, and class members revived the Varsity Show. Rochelle is senior president, I-Iitchner is Ball chairman, and Doyle is secretary- treasurer. Most memorable to the 285 seniors were the stadium dedi- cation and greatest football season in history. In the Targum poll the class members predicted they would each be earning 552,500 per year by 1944. Bruyere and Rochelle were named most popular, Bruyere the best all-around man and the best looking, Rochelle the one who had done the most for Rutgers, Toffey and Brown the most literary, Toffey the best dressed, and Doyle the most likely to succeed.
