Ihaiee it is witli a deeper sense ol lea X‘-takiny that we hid these triends tarewell. In the fc“W ' ears that it ha heen onr pri ik‘ye‘ to sjiend in Spring- field we ha ' e come to respec t and honor thc ' se men who ha ' ( ' stood hy ohr alma mater in periods ot storm and stress, and ww ha e eome to eateh something of the ision that has heen with them since the time that th( School occnjiied a tew rooms in W ' incdiester Scpiare. W c ha ( ' seen some ot their dreams realizeil in new ecinipment , and we ha ' e seen other fond hojies ot theirs realizc ' cl in the diwelopment of the lix ' es of th(“ students, d heir ideal tor cweiw ' man in the ( ollega the all around Cdiristian manhood - ww hnd (.‘xemjilitied in their li ’es.

W ' c- haw come to see a little of the light that the ' see, and are inspired to go and spread it over the world. As we ha e heen in the edass-room with tluan da ' hy da ’, we ha ’e hc.‘en made to feel that they, too, arc ' stnck ' iits like onrseKes; hnt that tlu ' ' Innc ' gone a little further along the path ot knowledge and arc ' gniding ns in the wa ’ whic ' h thc ' ’ ha c ' traxeled. Here a hond of fc ' llowshi]) has hc ' c ' ii c ' stahlishc ' cl whic ' h will rc ' inain with ns all of ciiir lixc ' s. d hen when the diffic nlties ot thc ' c lass-room rec|nire tnrthcr discussion we arc ' alwaxs snrc ' to tmd wc ' Icomc ' in any ot the oftices, and leisure, no matter how hnsy the ' protes.sor, to discuss the prohlcm whic ' h c ' onlronted ns. W’c ' ha c ' found the same ' spirit of hel])l nlnc ' ss and tric ' UclK ' inter- c ' si in the gx’in and on thc ' tic ' ld as in the ' class-room. In the tall 1914 M A S S A S O I T 29 when football and soccer arc in season the tacnlt ’ coaches are thca ' c, working, criticizing, achising; in the gym the same friendly help is found; basel)all and track are likewise under their ckjse and helpful sui)ervision. Kx ' cry senior, junifjr, freshman, and prej) is made to feel that every man on the Faculty has a personal interest in him, and so the ' have. The student l)ody is kxjked u|)on by the F ' acult} ' as a grou]) of individuals, each iudi ddual |)Ossessiug his ])eculiarities which must be studied, that the real man ma ’ be known. The ju ' otessors during the fall term make it their business to know e ' ery new man and to become intimately acciuainted with him. One of the l)rightcst si)ots in the life of e (‘r - student at S])ring- ficld is the remembrance of i)leasant hours si)i‘ut iu the homes d ' the Faculty. Their wives during the earh ' da ’s of the student’s life at the C ' ollege arrange gatherings in their homes, “ up-the-!akes,” and socials, thus helping the new student to feel at home in his new environment, d ' he ])leasant hours spent in the discaission ot cur- rent bocjks, the reading of the classics, the arious seminars in their homes, and receptions to teams, all ( ' ontribute to make the student’s life richer and fuller. W’e have always found the latch-string out in all ot these homes, and the warm receptions ha ' e endeared tlumi to us. Our Faculty — our friends never will w(‘ think of them as austere college professors, but as men who are our friend- who guided us over the ])aths the ’ had trodden before, and who ga e us a isiou of the higher and better life. “ .Mens sana in corpore sano.” Librar ln ' 1 Y.

AI. C. A. department of the Sch(x)l for ( ' hristian Workers. The stor ' of that work at Winchester Scpiare has been often told, but to hear it retold by one of the (kwoted si)irits who was in it is to ha e one’s send thrill with a new admiration few the men whose hopes and pnn ' ers and hard uphill wcjrk made this institution possil)le. d ' hose were da}’s when the promoters of this work li ed large!} ' on “ the substance of things hoped for and the e idence (d things not seen.” XAj one of them jjnjbably e ' en dreamed of the present prosperity ot Sjx ' ingheld ( ' ollege. And some were e ' en ske] tical as to its continuity on its then small scale. When the Winchester Sciuare building w ' as l)eing planned, one of the hnancial backers, w ' ho w as a soajt maker and w ithal j)art Scotch, said, ” Build it strong. It will niake a good soaj) factor} ' .” W ' e are not informed as to the use now ' made ot that building, l)ut it certainl} ' did mjt witness the M A S S A S O ! r Vol. XI linu ' ral ot tlir lU ' w idra in Association training;; for that was not biiriod, l)iit was t ransphintcd to a larger place.

Aimlessly we wander about in the morning sun- light on the shaded walks and gaze out on the lake, artihcial so long that Na- ture has ado|)ted it and rightly claims it as her own. Suddenh’ a deei)- toned bell booms out the call t(j morning chapel, and we soon are following groups of students tro(j])ing toward the vine-covered i3lace of worshij) among the pines. A noble organ is pealing (wit music that thrills our deepest being: hundreds ot the most perfect specimens of mankind we have ever seen are tiling into the quiet, dimlighted interior. ( )ntside the - were lull of life and the zest of the fnjsty morning, but withal serious minded and men ot earnest purposes evidentl}’. Here they stand in re erent silence with the dail ' renewed sense upon their hearts of the things that are unseen and eternal. A tall upstanding member of the Facult - reads a never-dying message from the Book ot IkjoIcs. Another, an old man with long years of love and ser ice written ])lain across his tace, ap])lies with sweet reasonableness the lesson to the da ’s need, and in a short prayer brings the Kternal er ' near. Again the organ sounds, this time one of the church’s deathless hymns, and the solid walls ibrate to the sound of a thousand powertnl oices singing ])raises to the All-h ' ather, Silently they go out into the sunlight again, and we are lett alone in this beautiful place ot worshij). What ha e we seen.- ' Are these men here perforce.- ' No. Are the - then ascetics or ritualists or sentimentalists by nature.- ' Not so. The - are red-blooded leaders of men; they are gymnasts and athletes, and ele ' en ot them will shortly line up to defeat the strongest college teams in the world. These are not weaklings, nor are the men who fight “ as one beating the air.” They are children of (fod getting in touch with the universal si)irit at the l)eginning of each new da ' .

Mills ] istorj of tljc Cl .100 of 1914 r is with a feeling of sadness and el one ot pride that one sits down to record the history of the ( ' lass of 1914. W ' e are sad with the realization that histor in itself is a comiiilation of past ha|)penings, ne er to lie li ' ed again save in memory, but proud in the fact that we ha e been able as a class to add some little to the glory and fame of old Sjiringfield. (lathered together from all parts of the globe, we must ha e made a rather complex picture. Of course then there was no class spirit or unity, but thanks to the offices ot Mr. and Mrs. Cheney, who jirompted the “get acciuainted ’’ outings up the lake, and the goodh ' sjirinkling of sophisticated “ Prejis,” we developed a little. The election of Klmer ( ' lark as president completed the unifying process. I le was the right man for the office, as this history will show. We all came out of the initiation safely, and were by this time loyal sons of Old Massasoit. When our first Thanksgi ing rolled around we had gotten well acciuainted with all the members of our ( ' ollege family and Faculty — some even l)egan to understand a little of Prof. Hyde’s “Logic,” and .some had gotten so l)old as to pat Brownie,” he of the “ mitral regurgitation fame.” Bill Hazel and Leslie Mann had w m for themselves places on the ' arsity football team. Then later Jimmy Payne and Jack Nelson added to the glory of the Class by starring in Scjccer and Basket Iffill.

The great-hearted Facnlt - md only looked alter onr phy ical, intellectual, and s|dritnal growth, but thru the medium of their open homes onr social natnre was supplied.

' Er.vcy On the way to Lithia Spring MM TRIP classes here. ARL morning on the thirteenth (h March, 1014. saw the Senior Class taking the car at the beginning (not the end) of the King Street line. The lower class men were there to gi e tis a send-off. and the vim with which they did it thrilled not a few of ns with a new sense (jf the traternal spirit among the It is a far cry from the usual initiation to a scene like that, tho the time elapsed is but half a year. W ' e took a train for New Haven and it got ns there tmwrecked, which circtimstancc the newsitapers at least wcnild have ns belie e very nntisual. Oiir visit at the ( ' ity Association we kx)k back upon with sonu‘- what mixed emotions. W’e got an excellent idea of what it nu ' ans to run an As.sociaticm with inadeciuate financial sujijiort. A sax ing touch of htiuKa ' was gi cn the i)roceedings when Dr. Dcyggett asked Mr. Bates, State Secretary, if the militia in their annual encamp- ment at Xiantic were given any athletics and games. “()h. yes. W’e hax ' e chess and checkers for them ! ” Mr. Brown, the Bo s’ Work director, then discoursed on the ])i ' (jper projtortions (4 beans and Bil)le sttidy for boys’ meetings. Then we visited Yale bhiixersity and sat in the d ' njphx’ Room, surrounded l)y spoils from many helds while Dr. Anderson, their physical director, gave us an excellent talk. Representatixes (jf the Student As.sociation then t(4d us of their xvork among the students. Bridgeport was the next stoi . Here everything is tii) to the minute and things are doing. Khiciency is in the air. and it is some- thing more than business efficiency, too. 1 remember hax ing heard Mr. Lacey called one morning xxdten he xvas staying at Wo(xls Hall. Axvakened out ot a sotmd sleep his lirst xvord xvas “ Thank x cju,” and the alacrity and sincerity xvith xvhich he said it stuck in inx ' mind. W hen you enter the Bridgeixort Association yoti feel at 82 M A S S A S O I T Vol. XI oiu ' e an atmosphere ot sineert eordiality and interest, and yon soon find that it permeates the whole- stall. One eanm t htit think that it radiate ' s largely from the (ieneral Seeretary. “ It pays to Ite ]iolite.” And the-n New ' S’ork, what shall we sa ' ot her? Many of ns prohahh ' were ne er in a eit ' of anything like her size before, and onr ayyregatt ' impressions would eertainly re])resent a enrions mix- ture of ideas. Some of ns were faseinated, others were repelled, some were delighted, and others were disgusted. Sixt ' -fi ’e strcaig we entered New h’ork, stayed h e days, and came away, and New hh rk knows neither that we came nor that we went. The assoc ' iations in New Ork are doing a great work certainl . Farnsworth and Hammond and Dietrich and Dyak and all the rest are big men. Iftit the association membership in (Greater New ork is some twent -three thousand only, and there are some four mil- lion se‘ ■( n hundred and fift ’ thousand other more or less hnman be ing in the city. D’Antonio remarked that the membership ought to be two or thre e hnndre ' d time s what it now is ! Cla.ss of 1914 in Washington 1914 M A S S A S O I T 83 Kven so, the New York associations are floing great things and doing many of them well. Twenty-third Street seems to Ite con- dticting a tmiversity of ikj mean jjroportions. They are teaching nearly three thousand men subjects ranging all the way from the law to processes whereby latmdr ’ men may extract the soap trom water after it has been thru the tubs ! Association employment agencies are becoming more and more j)(Ji)ular l)oth with the worker and the emplo ’er. ’ith three hundred and hfty thousand men in the city out of work, there would seem to be considerable business for them. Business men, we were told, are willing to take on ofhee l)oys at from three to fi x‘ dollars ])er week, preferaltly at the lower hgtire, in order that they might raise them. Boys’ work in New Ork a|)peals strongh ' to many (d us, tor we Itegan to realize how little chance a l)o ’ has in such a city. One ot the Twenty-third Street men told (d a l)o ' dying in a hos- I)ital, who had never heard the name of (fod save in a curse. And his home was next to a church. The boys are tremendously inter- ested in the libraries, so much so, in fact, that the ’ stole three books in one da ' at Twenty-third Street. Religicjus work seemed to be organized on a good working l)asis, tho no one can claim that it is reaching more than a very small per- centage (d ' the boys and men that need it. And the churches cer- tainly are not doing it. Mr. h ' arnsworth’s sur c ' would indicate that not al)o e eight j)er cent, of the a erage church congregation in his section ot the cit ’ was compo.sed of men between the ages (d eighteen and thirt ' . Some of us attended a morning service where the congregation numbered about eight hundred, and not more than ten were men between those ages. Differing religions and races offer their s])ccial problems in cit ' association work as well as elsewhere. Brinkman tells tis that it ycKir gymnasium class is comi)osed of ti e per cent. 1 lebrews and ninet ' -h e per cent. ( ' lentiles, ycni’ll be unable to sa ' which is the larger group ! Another ot Brink’s pearls was this, in speaking of the dormitory men, “ W’e ne er lire a man out. W’e ask him to vacate his rcjom ! ” Not all of Twenty-third Street’s diplomacy is so obvious as that. I he Alumni dinner at the McAlpin will long li e as a ' ery pleasant memcjry with the C lass of 1914. The excellent dinner prenided by Mr. Pratt was a ’ery welcome change from our lunch counter life of the i ast few days. And then the speeches Ity 84 M A S S A S O I T ,Vol. XI 1 )r. Ric ' land and 1 )r. Randall, with thnir splendid nianliood and reasonabh ' rcdii ion, inspired ns with a ”reat hope for tlie eluirch that I ' an produce such men and siu ' h a messai e. To dese ' end now troin tin sublime to the ridieailons, we innsl speak ot the spectacle of that (dassmatc sonu ' time known as “ Rie-hu ' e ” lK roicall actine, ' the part at the tool e nd ot a cistar. TriiK ' a sight ne c r to be for- gotten. W V must not k a e New h)rk without mention being made ot the somew ' hat tormal but ’(, ry delighttiil reception gi en us at the I nte ' rnational ' . A. Training School. An enor- mous and beautiliil building together with a grou]) ot attracti e stttdc ' iUs pro ided a ery interesting ariant trom the rest of ottr l)rogram. 1 )itring the tottr ot the building this ( ' urious fact was noted. hAx n that model of rectitude and sobriety, K. K. Ab cjdy by name, seemed to be goveriu-d by the supposition that the amount of information to be seettred aried iin ' erseK’ as the age ot the informant ! Idiursda ’ morning we lett Xew York to get along as best she might withottt tts and laid our course t(U ' Rhiladelithia. ’on Bee had been perusing a maj) ot the world and had disco ' ered that Idtil- adelphia was in the latititde ot southern Spain and the Mediterran- ean, and so decided he would lea ’e his ox ercoat in Xew ork. He woke u]) the next morning in Rhiladelphia with a tull-grown bliz- zard howling down the streets, and torthwith lost all faith in prox- imity to the efiuator as an earnest ot mild weather. As soon as dt cency would permit, Mr. Wood started in to pros- ehte us all to the n la carte system, and he succeeded rather well. A isit to the ( ' olored Branch |)ro ided inspiration tor some ot tis. T1 k‘ ’ are doing a tine work tor tiu negro, and it is made possible largeh’ thru the gift ot a (diicago Jew to a (diristian institutiem working for ( ' olored mc n.

I ' ridax’ noon about titty ot S]iringfield’s sons lett Idiiladelphia and journeyed to Wkishington. It xxas the largest dek“gation that Springfield has sent to Washington. .Mr. ( ' ooper boarded our special car at Baltimore, and accom- pani(‘d iis to the Association, x lu‘re a royal xxelcome xvas gixen us by sex ' cnt y-tix’c high school boys, xxho xxen gathered there tor a l)ibl( class Mip])cr. In the c ' X’ening xxe listened to a most interest- 1914 M A S S A S O I T 85 iiig lecture on W’asliington, and went awa ’ gasjjing for l)reath, so amazed were we at the mental gymnastics dis])laye d in the menawy of the height of Wdishington monument to the inch, the name, time of election, and age of almost every Congressman menti(med, l)e- sides figures and statistics of the C ' ix’il W ar which would d(j credit to an ency( ' lo])edia. ddie next day, alter a shm ' t conference with the ofiicers (d the Washingtcjn association, was gix ' en over t(j sight- seeing; and under the leadership (d Mr. C ' ooj)er a most enjoxahle time was spent. The Class was welcome 1) ' Secretary Bryan, who, with his characteristic ' cordiality, made e er - man teel that he was indeed welccmie in Washington. d ' he W ashington Railroad . M. C. A. was the next i)lace on the schedule. We were first receix’ed in the dining-room of the Penn- sylvania Static.)!!, — a recepticjn which was indicative ot true Scjuthern hos|)itality, after which we were c ' onducted to the Association rooms in the terminal. No Springfield man would ha e located them alcjiie, hut after much rambling and wandering up and down stairs and thru ])assages, until we thot we were indeed in a maze, we at last reached the comtcjrtable (piarters of the Railroad Association. We also inspected their large gymnasium, where a game of medicine hall was ])layed, in which Dr. Doggett and “Sherlock” Holmes starred. Here the formal v isits ended, hut most of the group remained tc!gether. A visit was made to the Cai)itol, where both houses cjf Ccjugress were in session. One of the stouter members of the Class was disccjvered trying to reduce his surj)lus acli])ose tissue by running iron! the basement to the balcony on the dome cjf the C apitol. At the present writing the gentleman’s waist line has not decreased. Washingtc!!! Monument was visited, and the steps carefully counted to verify the guide-book in its statements. The C’ongressional Liljrary was admired by all, until someone ventured the suggcsticju that l)rol)ably if it were in Springfield Professors ACfieck and Cdieney would have their classes digest all of the books in the space of six weeks. And so the other well-known and interesting spelts cjf Washington were visited. Ciradually the grouj! separated, some going south as far as Norfolk, others returned to Springfield, and many to their homes for the spring recess. Junior Class JUNIORS K. C.

L. Snow t;)istorj of junior CUico IKAR ' l ' S beat fast and sjtirits ran high on September 24th, the day ot the o|)(,Miing (tt C ' ollege lor the fall term. I faring the smmner the class had been scat- tered to the four (piarters ot the American etmti- nent, from c clone-scared Regina, Saskatchewan, to Italmy ( ' laKeston, of tidal-wave renown. W ith char- acteristic versatility the men had l)cen engaged in all kinds of ])ur- suits. Some had worked at l)oys’ camps and jtlaygrounds. (fthers had responded to the call ot eager housewi es clamouring for ari- ous “ domestic sj)ecialties,” ranging trom ' bampiccj fibre tooth brushes to aluminum foot-warmers. Others again had spent most of their time in bathing suits at some lake or at the seaside, teaching the boys and girls to swim, and occasionally rescuing an unlortunate from a watery grave, tulhlling their duties as “ life-sa ers.” All had looked forward expectantly, during the hot summer days to the time when their resjiective tasks would be (fer and they would be back among the same old “ bunch ” and the same old place, “ where the pines stand on high.” Is it to be wondered then that there was so much enthusiasm as hand clasped hand and eai ' h exch a nged ex j ler i ences ? d ' he principal feature of the ojiening exercises was an inspiring address by Mr. C. W’. Ibshop, the National Secretary for C ' anada, on the opportunities in that great country. d ' he second and more exciting part of the opening actixitics, commonly known as the ” Peerade,” came off a few daxs later. I ' ime and space would not permit of a description of the mighty 90 M A S S A S () I T Vol. XI arra ' ot iirriors, juniors tor the most part, slathered at the eall of Kill” Massasoit, in the East ( ' lymnasinni, to reeei ' e the tremliliii” 1 ' rc‘shies into tlu ' tribe; or ot the elaborate ritual so rigoronsK ' obserxed. ' blu ' ontstandiny teatnres were the dreaded tire and water test: the tire represented by the sudden rising of temjieratnre in a ( ' ertain rc’gion, by well-direeted a])|)lieation of the “ paddle; and the watc ' r by the old-time dnek fest;the‘‘ Roxal Anointing. and tlu ' drinking ot the Roxal Ti ast, in a specially prepared bexer- age, to xvhieh not exen the most tastidions total abstainers could object. The program closed x ith the hapjix ' barking of “ dogs and the reiu ' wal of that s])irit of comraderie xvhieh characterizes exam the most strenuous of S. C actixities. The grand finale came xx ith the iinjiressixe and insiiiring exercises in the West (iym, xvhen the nexv men xvere made accinainted xxith the ideals of the school and xvc ' re tormallx ' iiresented to the numiliers ot the Faculty and their xvixes. Shortlx’ after this lolloxxed the class “ gc-t-together up the lake. A tairly large attendance, despite the tact that it xvas a stag aftair, testified to the (pialitx ' ot the class siiirit. In addition to the joxiality xxhich characterizes tunctlons ot this nature, xvas added the t ' xcitement of aiiprelK-nding certain members of the partx’, xvho absconded xxith a xerx ' imjiortant portion ot the refreshments, d ' ln-n to the accompaniment ot the- hissing of the coffee oxer the tire, the spluttc ' i ' ing of dogs amid the gloxxing embers, the President formallx’ introduced the nexv men, xvho had joined in the fall, and no effort xvas sjiared to make them teel they xvere an integral part of thc‘ happx ' 1915 “ bunch. ( ' ontimu ' d cold xveathc-r and pk ' iitx’ ot snoxx ' during the latter ])art of January made possible a sleigh-ride to Hampden. It xvas a ( ' o-C“d affair, of ( ' onrse, and it xvas arranged that the partx ' should gix’e an entc ' rtainment at the Methodist ( ' hurch, where ' the eats had been proxiiU ' d.

Covers were laid for forty-hve, and the table which was arranged in the form of a dnml:)-bell, was ery fittingly presided o xt by Ih ' of. Affleck, who is an ideal Toast- master. He not only gave us a string of his ” s])ecials.” allieit they were somewhat worn from long use, but called on se eral members of the company to do likewise. The class Quartet and Messrs. Fisher and Denman, however, came to the rescue more than once, much to the delight of the audience. Time passed all too (piickly in such congenial company and so stimulating an atmosphere — not to speak of the punch de menthe, in which rousing toasts were drunk to “Our Alma Mater,” “Our Faculty,” “ Our Class,” and “ Our Ideals.” The other outcome of spring weather was the capture of the “ Totem.” After weeks of warning it was announced that the ’en- erable Puritan was on thc ' Campus. All but the class of 1915 looked for it in vain. Close application to the methods of Sherlock Holmes led to the discovery of the sj)ot where the “ late lamented ” had been burled. Sacreligious hands disinterred the bo(h’ and con- veyed it to a i)lace of concealment, which has been repeatedh ' changed to frustrate the efforts of the 1914 men to find the hidden Quaker. At the present time it does not seem as if anyone will be able to do so before 1915. d ' he class has been ably rejiresented in all College actixities. d’he (dee (dub, managed by a Junior, is one of these. The class d ' rio has matle “ hit ” after “ hit ” wherever it has been. In the “ Frogs ” the (dass proxdded almost half the cast, and also the lead- ing character. So much for its musical and histrionic aliilitx’. Among the delegates who represented the College at the Connecti- cut X ' allcx’ Missionary (fonference at Vale Fniversity in Xox ' ember, three were Juniors. One Junior attended the Kansas City Student Tlunteer Convention in Decemlier. Several men are teaching Sunday School classes and Fnglish to Foreigners. For the first time a Junior had held the ]iosition of cashier of Woods Hall. A lair contril ntion has been made to the physical actixdties of the School. Of the entire football scpiad, numbering fortx ' men, almost half were Juniors, of whom seven made the emblem, and Walter Bell was unanimously elected ca])tain for the ensuing year. In other arsity sports the class has Ix ' cn well represented. 02 M A S S A S O I T Vol. XI I ' hr ( lass ()l 1015, ixly-eiu,ht strong, is dail ’ ac(|uiring a larger and deeper eoneeption ol unity and class spirit. It has been no easy matter tor the original l re]) class to assimilate the large inthix of imai in tlu ' I ' reshman ’ear, and in the i)resent ear cpiite a number of new Juniors ha (‘ come in. ( ' onsidering this, it is a remarkable testimony to tlm all-p( ' r ading spirit ot ( )ld Springfield that the (las , compoM ' d as it is ot men trom three great C ' ontinents beside onr o n, has united all these- e-lements, as e idenced by the tellow- feeling which permeates the entire group. We ha ’e representati ’es from haigland, South Africa, and India, and trom e (.“ry part of North Anu-rica, including (dmada, Chilia, and Mexico, and from hfteeii States of the I nion. Triih’ an international aggregation, and one that is soon to carr ' with it the ideals and insiiiration of the- Alma Mater to arions jiarts of the world. The charae ' teristic feature of ,the class during the- past ’ear has been ele elo])ment. It has learneel main’ new things, and trom its daily increasing st(ore of knowledge and the- insiiiration recei ed trom the Facnlt ' , it is e-ndea ’oring to culti ate that jierfection of Manhood which shall concpier the world.

And a few days after this event these men met together on the shores of the Lake Massasoit to partake of an evening meal of nec- tar and ambrosia (coffee, sausages, and l)uns), and to enjoy the 98 M A S S A S () I T - Vol. XI niii ' -ic ' 1)V nu ' ii ol ihrir own standin; , and to I ' c ' XTal thcnisel (‘s and tin inaniu ' r ol tlioir country, and to swear all( yianc(, to the (dass, around a lire ot piiu ind l)irch loys.

Alter a lew da s ol association with each other, we lelt at caise and settled down to de elop onr minds, bodies, and spirits, d ' lu usual custom ol a temporar - election of officers was fol- lowed by a linal election. ' Fhe social ( ' ommittee soon started j)lans for an “ I’li-the-Lake Social.” After enjen ing a fine ” dog ” roast we gathered around the lire to conduct our regular meeting. In the midst ol this we were startled by a shout Irom the shore, and upon iinestigation, we loimd that our canoes had lieen conhscated by some unknown parties. Peering into the darkness, wc‘ saw the conhscators iiaddling awa ’ Irom the shore. Wv decided t j keep silent and await rc-sults. Alter a wait of about ten minutes, we saw the canoes (. ' oming towards the shore, aliont a hundred yards above the spot whc ' re we were hiding. Just as we were alioiit to make a rush for them someone sneezed and the game was up. W’e found that the walk back to school hel])ed digestion, and as a class, wish to express thanks to the parties that were kind enough to take our canoes back to the boat-house lor us. As few of us had done any studying during the ])ast lew ears, we found it rather difficult to accpiire the art ( 1 stud ing.

In strixing to master our studies and incidentally to make a good mark in history, .so that Prof. Hyde’s famous ” Donu ' sday ” book would not spell ” 1 )(jom 1914 M A S S A S O I T 10. for us, we have ljurned much midnight oil. We feel sure that we are getting knowledge from our studies which will be of alue to us in after life. In the athletic line we have l)een bucking up against a stone wall in the Freshmen, and up to date have not succeeded in hnding the comljination to their defense. In football we were beaten by them very decisively, but at soccer we held them to the score of 1-0. The material which we have chosen tor the coming meets looks very promising, and we feel sure that we shall make the Fresh- men sit up and take notice. The regular prayer meetings ha e been held ev ery week, and we have had the pleasure (jf hearing from members of the Faculty and also from the upi)er classmen. Their talks have been full of good cheer and will be always remembered b - the class. We were very fortunate in having a tine skating season this year, and the majorit ' of the tellows tound time enough to spniid many pleasant evenings on the lake, in the comi)an - of sonu fair maidens of the “ City ot Homes.” When the announcement was made at the football rall - a few days betore the West Pcjint game, that the ])re.sence ot a bunch of real rooters would help to inspire the team to do better work agaijist the cadets, our class was well represented by about (“ight fellows who gave up the cares ot school life and started to walk to Wc“St Point. The bunch that started Thursdav’ afternoon arrived in time to see the game; but another grou|), who had made tip their minds to go at the last minute, were not so successful, d ' he latter group left Springfield early the morning ot tlu‘ game. It hajipened that the coaches were tull at this hour, so thev’ were forced to ridt be- tween the coal and baggage cars. All went well until they reachc-d Harttord. Then they were sjiied bv ' a watchful conductor, result- ing in their sjiending a few hours in the cooler. In the morning the judge gave them a reprimand and let them go. Saturdav ' night they arrived in Springheld and reported that walking the ties is not siK ' h a huge joke after all. In tull apj)reciation of the fine spirit of fellowshi]) shown us when we arrivx ' d here and all thru our hrst year, we wish to e.xtend our thanks to the Faculty and upper classmen for their assistance. May we continue the good work Iwhich preceding classes have started and as a forerunner of the Class of ’17, may we liv ' e up to the ideals ot this worthy institution. Ill- ' keynote ot modern edneation is “Learning by noing.” From the kindergarten to the graduate sehool this i)rineii)le is sweeping away the traditional methods ot training by talking. The Montessori metlnjds are a new extension of this principle. The rapid s|)read ot manual training, domestic science, and commercial schools are tolling the knell of a s ' steni of educa- tion that ])lanted the tree ot knowledge upside down, and then won- dered l)ecaiise the upturned roots did not l)lossom into fruitfulness, h ' or this reason the word “ academic ’’ has become a synonym for “ impractical “ and “ asionary.’’ The new education does not ne- glect the theory, but it does co-(n ' dinate it with experience and prac- tice. This is being done by all the up-to-date professional schools with e er-increasing success. The law student is no longer set to the aj)palling task of reading and memorizing a room full of sheejj- boiind ' olumes and then gi en a year or so ot lectures. He is given a “ ( ' ase ’’ and with ti present |)ractical problem in modern law is re inired to go through all the processes necessar ’ tor its i)rescnta- tion to the court, d ' his means a knowledge of all the steps in olved in real practice and makes theor ' go hand in hand with experience. The V. M. ( ' . A. College aims t(j prepare its students to be skilled workers with indi ' iduals and society. They arc to become soc ' ial and religions leaders by the application ot these same ])rinciples. An abstrac ' t training in theories and ])rinciples lacks the italizing real- it - of experience. ( )n Teacher’s Group 1914 M A S S A S O I T 105 the other hand, a blind training in methods never sees the underlying prin- ciples and aims, or esti- mates results. It is in a carefully integrated course in which ])ractical experience is guided and corrected by insight that this C ' ollege aims to ])rc- pare its students for their task. The normal w(jrk has l)een increasing even more ra])idl - than the student body, and special efforts arc being made t(.) direct it and make it efficient. In 191 1 , sjiecial certihcates were granted for work done. Last year over 150 men were reported as teaching Sunday School clas.ses, leading Hoys’ (dubs, and similar work. Beginning next tall the normal work will be incorjiorated in the regular cotirse and successful win ' k will be necessary for graduation. It is also planned to ha e the normal wimk supervised by these student instructors and a careful record kept of both (piantity and c piality ot work pertormed. This iilan will not mly train the underclass- men in teaching, but will prot ide ex])erience for Seniors in supervi- sion under actual conditions. The normal work in religious education embraces a great variety of enterprises, but is grouped under the following heads: Physical, Social, Musical, Kxecutive, Kducational, and Religious 1 nstructicjii. Kvery student will be requirc ' d to secure forty points in Religicjus In- struction during his hrst two years in college. This means the sjtecific work of instruction in religion and morals, siudi as teaching a Bible class or giving religious addresses. For the secretarial men further work of an executive nature will be reciuired; while the ithysical men are all reciuired to secure points in physical work. It is hoped that the Freshmen will in this way be prox ided with “ C ' ases ” that will call forth their best efforts and interest, and form the back- ground of an experience that will change the theory of the classrcjom and make it vital. If it is successful it will send out graduates conscious of their ])ower to do intelligent religious work and will greatly multiitly the influence of the C ' ollege in its work of Itringing the Kingdom of ( lod among the l)oys and young men of the city of Springfield and its neighboring towns.

During the indoor season a large corj)s of student instructors are employed t(j teach gymnastics, and the same groups coach hockey on the rink or the lake when the ice is good. The defensive ])hysical work alscj recei es atten- tion during this term. Thus a student has the (jppor- tunity to learn boxing, fencing, and wrestling under the most C(mi|)etent teachers. Since nir natatorium was completed acjuatics also has l)een i)ut on the j)hysical refiuirement list of the winter term.

The s])ring term is de ’oted to baseball, track and held sports. d ' here is a great ' alue hjr the men in the institu- tion of the student instructor in this ( ' ollege. In the hrst place each student receives more indi idual at- tention. d ' he physical men ha e three years of practice in the performance and teaching of sports.

Ic er - man wIkj enters the College generally has some special i)hys- ical work in which he is prohcient. During his hrst year here his abilitx ' is increased in his i)articular line, and in his second and third years he is liable to be employed by the Faculty as a student instructed in his sitecialty. One of the hapjtiest results of the student in- von BUjenburgh sti ' iictorship is the fact that this large grouj) of men are brought into close contact with the Faculty.

Sewral positions entail res|)onsibility that is too great tor any stu- dent carr ing the rt ' gular academic work.

With the increase in the numlter ot students has come an increase in the ])rol)lems which the Senate has to deal with. Increasing resi)onsibility has been the hjt jf those who have been elected tc; the j)osition. In the |)ast there have been varying conceptions as to the duties of the Senate. The Senate is not a pedice force, it is not a detective bureau, nor is it a strictly judicial body. To condemn and ])unish is not the only work that the Senate does. An attempt is made to maintain and raise the ideals of our College and to help those who have not apjtreciated the true significance of their being here to see the bigger and better things of onr life. It is unfortunate that it is the dut ' ot the Senate to at times eliminate men from the sttident bod ’. This is onl - done when men have itroved themselves to be lacking in those (pialities which men training for our work should possess. They are not eliminated entirely as a punishment, btit to help them hnd their real ])hice in life, and sometimes it is deme t(j {trotect the honor of our ( ' ollege, an honor of which every true Springfield man is extremeh’ jealous. The responsiliility jtlaced on this bod ’ has rareh’ it ever been misplaced. The Facultv ' has never had occasion to reverse the deci- sions of the Senate, and tho at times a number ot the students have (luestioned its action, all have in the end agreed that the best inter- ests of the majoritv ' have been carefull ’ considered. ' The ideal senate will probably never exist. An attempt should be made at each election to select with care the men who are to lie elected to the Senate. 114 M A S S A S O I T Vol. XI A senator should lia e l)ackh(jne enough to stand tor what is right, irrc‘S])ecti e of his i)ersonal friendships.

Two of the newest and largest departments are the store and Wc cxls Hall. In Ma -, 1911, the Student Association bought from its manager, Mr. S. F. Wright, the Training School Supph- Store. Manv were ske])tical at the enturc and failure was i)redicted. A com- mittee of management was chosen and Mr. Whiteman was ap- pointed manager, with Mr. Hol)son as assistant. At the end of the hrst ear the store not only declared a di idend of eighteen pea ' cent., but had outgrown its old (piarters. A larger room was secured, and, at the end ot the second year the.se (luarters w(‘n“ found too small and they had to be enlarged.

On Thanksgiving Day there were some hundred men who pre- ferred to eat their holiday dinner with the “ Bunch,” and a real occasion of thanksgixing was afforded, and the jtresence and w(trds of several of the Faculty and their families made it have the ” Inmie atmosphere.” Of course the men were given several o|)portunilies during the fall to bring their ladies t(t “open-houses.” Ifut the real ” co-ed ” function was the football recejttion. There were gcxxl speeches, artistic programs, and hne “eats.” But best of all there was real fellowship and interest in the reception to the soccer and rugl)y football teams, which followed the speeches and presentation (jf emblems. It was the hrst time that the S jccer team has thus been recognized, and the success ot the ])lan shcjuld make it an annual affair. Another inno ation of the year was a minstrel show. It was the first minstrels that had been held or seven or eight years, and in its entertaining and financial phases it was a success, even if it did centre buck, cross buck, and then end run around Dr. Seerle After the minstrel show it was necessar ' to spend the e.xtra money, so a buffet luncheon was served in connection with the ” open-house ” after the gymnasium team exhibition on February 23(1.

Ill- ' fi e ' t‘ars since the institution of (jur eollege magazine has been a j)erio(l ot ehanging ideals with regard to “ The S])ringheld Student.” Pcjssibly even now a sc ' ltled policy has not been achieved; but the tdianges effected since Mr. (dlbert X.

But the ])resent year has been a Near of emphasis in all dei artments (d our College life on aesthetic education, and ” The Student ” has endea ' oured to place itsell where it would become the medium for the ex])ression ot this new spirit (d culture. Th(.“ drama has been encouraged. Buried literar - talents have been brot to light. Original pcjems, some of considerable nu-rit, ha e been i)ublished. X’erses that have ap])eared in the magazine during other years ha e usualh ' been ' elected trom other sources. Short stories ha e ai)|)eared trom tinu“ to time, and the c ' ditors ha e spent considerable time and effort in the encouragement of siu ' h original productions, until there is a |)irit ol healthlul ri alry in the endeavour to i)roduce both rh ' me and stor ’ that will receix ' e the honor ot publication. Instead ot a mere memorandum ol things that occur iu the C ' ollege file, it has become a medium lor tlu ' exchange ot ideas, and its ])ages have been opened for the c‘xpression of that creatixe art whicdi is one cd the mo t important objects of c ' ultural education. d ' he alumni department has been enlarged, and letters and articles trom our graduateN coiu ' erning their prc ' seut work, (jr eudeav- ouring to set uj) higher ideals for the undergraduate ' ha e been gix’en prominence.

Owing to the large circaiUition antongst the alumni and other association workers, and also lor the purpose of increasing such ( ' ircnlation, a number of articles of general interest to association men ha ’e lieen iirinted and ha ' e met with approval. At the time of writing there is a mo ement afoot for the issue of a special number of the magazine (probably the Ajtril number) which will give a fairly complete account of the Student Association acti aties. A much larger edition than tisual will be issued, and the extra expense will be borne jointly by the Facult - and “ The Student ” management. This numlter will be used for achertising the Ccdlege, and copies will be mailed to all the principal M. C.

I ' roni layhing at all it has dex ' eloped into one ot the most i)(jpular and prosi)erous ot all the student acti aties. This growth has boon almost entirely due to the efforts of a new soeiet ’, whieh has arisen to take a laajminent l)laec in (’ollege affairs, the Massasoit Oramatic (dub. 1 his orgauizatioii touud its ineepticm in the Shakespeare Clul), a sot ' icty hich usud to mc‘t‘t wec ' kly at Mrs. D(jggett’s home for the di eussion of Shakc-spcare’s plays. From studying ])lays to pnj- dueing them is a natural sequenee, and on May ad, 1913, the Shake- s])uar(.‘ (dub metamorphosed into the Massasoit Dramatic Cdub, ha ing tor its a ’owed pur|)ose the production ot and stimulation ot interc ' st in dramatic performances. The charter members of the so(dety were Messrs. Jerome, Blyth, Smith, Laity, Rogers, Xol)le, Willmore, Brinkman, and Mood ' . Mr. Willmoi ' e, the (udginal chairman and mo ing spirit ot the .so(det ’, was elected ])resident, which position he has held e er since, ha ing been re-elected in January. I he first dramatic effort ot the clul) was “ The Freshman,” a collegi ' ])laylet ot an amusing nature, by F. B. Morris, which was ])reseuted twice during ( ' ommencement week to api)reciati ’e audi- ences. ddie club handled this jiroductiou so w ' ell that it w ' as uni •er- a!l - conceded that the - should try something of a more ambitious nat lire. When ( ' ollegi re-opened in the autumn, “ddie hrogs” of Aris- tophanes was ])resented at the dedication ot the new lilirary. Altho this play wa not a (dub affair, being under the auspices ot the Fac- ult , xweral imaubers ot th(“ organization took i)art, and the entire cast became members a little later. “The Frogs” ])ro ed such an un(|Ucdiffed success that a large amount ot enthusiasm was aroused “Ah. Down Comes Aeschylus Par Lower’’ in histrionic work, and the memhershi]) of the society- iiu ' n’ased by- leaps and bounds. As might lie expected, some ot this sudden interest was ephemeral in its nature, and died a natural death. Howee ' er, the clnb congratulates itseli that its prc’sent membership consists of only those who ha ' e a real and vital interest in the organ- ization and its jiiirpose, and that there is little or no deadwocjd to handicap its work. Xijthing conlcl lie more appropriate than that we should gl e a ( ' ■reek play-. Otir attention to phy-sical de -elopment and prowess, onr ideal of the sound mind in the sound body-, invite ns ine ’itably- to the land of Phidias and ol Plato. Then who could be more htiman, more jiossessed ot the sjiirit ot the hardy perennial than Aristophanes.- ' It only remained for Air. (iilbert Murray- to make his twentieth century translation of “The Frogs” to imt Attic comedy into real buskins. W hen ])lans for celebrating with due ceremony the completion of the lilirary- were yet jirimordial, it was Mrs. Doggett who sug- gested the gi ing of “ The Frogs.” From that moment it seemed the only thing to do. Professtjr Murray promptly- gave us permis- sion to use his translation of the play. AT ' t the jilan called hm some temerity. There was no stage on the premises, and of course Dance in Honor of Denieter no staij,c arrai u,t‘nu ' nts or niiuhiiUTv or scencr ' . o ono roallx know wliothor tho ( ' olloj o roiild l)oiist ot sntficient dranuitio talonl. d lioro hiul indeed 1)0011 in the |)ii ing da s of Don North a draniatio oi uanization. From that time until about a year ayo nothiiyy in this dirootion had boon attoni|)tod, except stunts of the nio t oxtoiuporanoous sort, d ' ho production of “The Freshmen” last Com- mencement ga e the first inkling that talent might be found. I ' hose who witnessed either j iresentation of “The Frogs” know how well our hojies were borne out. d ' he teat which Walter 1F‘11 got awa ’ with was iirodigious, the learning and acting with undoubted success the part ot Dionysus, w ' ho is on the stage almost all the time, committing such agaries as the panic at the Fni|)(.nisa, the horse-i)la ’ in the whipi)ing scene, then later uttering critical remarks on the relatixe merits of Furip- ides and Aeschylus. ()nly less arduous was the work ot these trage- dians in the hands ot W’illmore and Schultz. Along with the arduous work ot preparing the pla ' were some never-to-1 )e-torgotten thrills. Icarly in ( tctober Dr. Doggett gen- ially remarked that the i)la ’ was to be gi en on the eighteenth, the only date on which Mr. d ' att could be present for the libraiw’ cele- bration. Nothing at this time was as it should be. For instance, the women’s (diorus was badl ’ disorganized. During thc‘ spring term the had largely mastered the art of singing one wa -, holding their arms anotlu r, and their leet in still another. Illness and ari- ous ( hanges ot plan had, howawer, remox ed one after another, until 1914 M A S S A S O I T 129 the few remaining did not want to hear the word “ frog ” mentioned again. Indeed, without the enthusiasm of Mrs. Allen Ai pleton, the leader of this chorus, the whole musical feature of the production would have fallen through. W hen our President made his famous announcement the chorus had not been selected; Bell was in the midst of a l)rilliant football, season and needed sleep more than he did time to commit to memory conversation Irom the old Attic comedy. Whip|)ing everything int(j shape in three weeks meant inten- sive farming tor all concerned, and it reflects credit upon all itally engaged that the situatiem was so triumphantly gotten awa ’ with. The resourcefulness of ( ' jill)ert Jerome soon made the St x a terry- able stream. Indeed our stage director gained much reputation l)y the simplicity and directness of his many schemes. At the last rehearsal scarceh ' ainone knew his entrance; Rho- do|)e had to extemporize poetry for a large j)art of her last solo; Dionysus ccnild not think of anything in the last twent ' pages of the book, and Pluto went to sleep in the last .scene. ' et with the West (lymnasium crowck ' d as it had never been belore the whole play went through with remarkable smoc thness. The College’s first presentation of a classic ])la ' will go down in history as a strong piece of work. The work of giving the play has abundantly repaid us in se eral ways. It has become clear that we ha e much more histrionic talent among us than we had su])i)osed. Indeed the probabilities are that there is here a broad field awaiting eultivation. gain, there is little d(ml)t that we have added to cjur pix ' stige as a bod ’ of men capable of giving such a work of sustained serious interest. The play was gi en twice, and each time the gymnasium was cnjwded with audiences who appeared delighted with the performances, and pleased that work of .so high an order could be put on here. Further thanks arc due the men in the College who ga e their time to it, and especially to the ladies of the chorus, who were jiarticularly generous in their gifts of time and energies. During the past year, the club held several ver - delightful social affairs. One of these, held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Packard, was enli ’ened by a fine program of readings by Miss White, the club’s dramatic coach. At another social, held at Mrs. Dog- gett’s, two short farces were presented by members.

HI- ' football season of 191a has been called the most successful one in the histor - of footltall at Springhekl. d ' he team has l)cen called the best team that ever wore the crimson and white, and by some e en “ the l est team in the world.” But whatever the con- sensus of oi)iuion ma ’ be with reference to the qual- ity of the team or the success (jt the season, the fact remains that otit of nine games ])layed seven were won, that we won from Amherst for the first time in a good main’ v ' ears, that we trimmed Holy Cross decisiveh ' , that we humbled the Berkshire cijllegians from Wil- liams, held the team that was ranked third in all the country to a 14 to 7 sc(jre, and sent our old-time rivals, the “Aggies,” home defeated to the tune of their own band. All of this furnishes food tor much iileasaiit recollection; but when we think of these things we wonder whv ' this partic ' ular team should so distinguish itself. Its success was due to many factors. In the first place, the manager had an idealh ' planned schedule, he had selected those teams tor the first few games who were consid- ered a little below the calibre of our team, and for the last games th(;se teams who were our capial or a trifle out of our class. The interest of the student l)ody was heightened by the fact that there were four hcjine gauu ' s and twcj others with teams rejvresenting col- leges very near Sjiringfield, so that students could ( ' asily sec the games. With a hundred lov’al rooters at Amherst and ahiKjst that number at Holy C ' ross, the team could hardly help l)ut give a good account of itself. The spirit of the students was the best ever, and it is to them, in a large measure, that the team made such a credit- able showing, d ' o htix ' e a sqtiad of sixty men turn out the first week wtis very encouraging, but the task of picking men for the kir- sity became very hard. Coaches McC ' urdy, Berjy, and Schroeder were very oj)timistic over prospects in sjiite of the fact that all of the old backfield had graduated. It was not long, lunvever, before 1914 M A S S A S O I T 141 a well co-ordinated ma- chine was in working order for the first game of the season with W(;r- cester Poh tech. The season ojiened on Pratt Field, Septemlier 27th. W orcester scored first after reco ering a tumble. It was not long, howe er, before Scha- binger scored tor Spring- held and “ Stonewall Pennock duplicated the trick soon afterwards when he raced nearh ' the length of the held, alter intercepting a forward pass. The music hnished to thetune of 27 to6. This was the beginningofalongstringofvictories. Boston (follcge was humiliated after much “wrangling” and hard light- ing; and then that Amherst game ! The student l)ody was there with all the “ pep ” and enthusiasm they cotild muster, and tinder the leadership ot “ (iermany ” Schtiltz, cheer leader, inspired the team to victory. To Ite beaten on their own held, and as badly as a 20 to 6 score, will indicate it was almost too bitter a pill for Amherst to swallow — so much so that someone in Amherst intimated that their team was not beaten at the Rugby game by Rugby methods, but their opponents rescjrted to the aerial nnite so much to ad- vance the ball that it looked more like a basket ball game than any- thing else. The New ' ork lhii ersit - game at ew ' ork Cit ’ was an eas} ' one for Spring- held, and was a delight to a large crowd of Sjjring- held alnnmi who attend- ed. But the following Saturday the team met Brown L’niversity at Providence, and it was a heavyBrown team com- bined with the elements that administered to us the hrst defeat of the sea- son. The majority of the Before the Game, “Aggie Day’’ Signals Varsity Football Team was ]ila i‘(l in a (lri iii,u rain, and lh(‘ held was such a sea ot inud iliat to ad ;incc the liall thru a line which otitweighed ours ahnost t (‘ut ' pounds to a man w;is wt‘ll-ni; h impossible. llowt“ ’er, we succeeded in ticttiipe, one touchdown, which sa vd us Ironi absolute dis.erace. B ’ no nu ' ans discoura,e,ed by this setback, the dirsity came back home and met Williamson the ' following Sattirda ' in one of the best pla ed g;imes of the ear. ddie Williams aggregation are the cleanest in th(‘ business, and i)la ’ good, hard lootball all the time. St ' habinger, who has been dubbed “ th(‘ lorward jiass maiwel,” did t lu‘ trick with a beautilul pass to llolmes, who counted alter a short jirint to the goal. ith the sting ot last ear ' s defeat still rampant in th( minds of the old pla ers, and with a goodh’ crowd ol rooters to hel]) us do the job, w(“ journeyed to orcc ' ster to demonstrate to the “ Irish ” that we could trim them on their own field. We did the trick, btit it was after a hard hght. Th(“ first pc-riod looked 1914 M A S S A S O I T 143 |)i ' ett ’ (liil)ioiis f( r Holy ( ' ross made two touchdow ns to our one, and was ainiii” tdniost at will t hrousi,h our line. 1 IcTe as tiin “ Sehahie ” was in tonn, and two l)t‘autilul passes, one nettiiyu, a touchdown and the other pa ing the wa ' tor one, tt;i e (nir team enotl h conhdence t(; cinch inattc-rs in the second half. And then tlu ' “ Agyie” game. The ' came down ti e hundred strong, with a brass band and pleiit ’ of wind and enthusiasm gal(.)re. Their “ shift,” which had done such effecti e work all season against other tetuns, was, according to ])rophecy, to be the means of accom- plishing our defeat . Hut it was not to be so, for altho thc ' ir famous shift looked like it would do as ])rophesied, for the first tew minutes, it was not long before Springfield had .sohed it and thru more aggres- si ’e i)la ' had scored two touchdowns to th(“ ” Aggit ' s ” none. Th(‘ W est Point game was not a disa|)i)ointment when one con- siders the odds against which the team worked. West Point had a good tetim; the ' ha e been rtited as third in the cotmtry, llar ard and C ' arlisle being only their superiors. They out- weighed our team almost twenty itounds to the man. Two fumbles in the first |)eriod were rather disheartening odds to work against, and when West Point .scored a safety, the men did not seem to work as in other games. The final .score, 14 to 7, re])resents a hard tight. i ' his year .seven ot the fifteen men who made their emblems will graduate, but their j)laces will be tilled b ’ men of nearly ecpial abil- it - who had to play the side-lines this year. Walter Hell has been chosen to lead next year’s team, and w ith the .same corjis ot coaches to work with, should make his team as good, if iKJt better, than the ” best team in the world.” Action IIK sfcoiul team should he conttralulaled lor its aggres- si e work thru the past season. IhuU ' r the training of ( ' oach Berr - the team became a er - strong ])iece of mechanism. At the end ot the sc ' ason and at se ' eral ditfeiamt times it displaced some splendid work against the first team, scoring Irecitiently on them, d ' he fact that the team is forced to play a defensive game against the ’arsit ’ explains the defeats in the past season. d ' he first game, itlayed with ( ' tishing Acadenug showed the s])eed whic ' h the tc am had, hut the lack of ])ra( ' tice in offensive play is what brought them to defeat. I he Worcester Academy game brought them to another defeat, dtie to pla ing on a wet field. This Varsity Second Team 1914 M A S S A S O I T 145 defeat only served to strengthen the team tor the next game. In the last game of the season, with Williston Academy, the team out- classed the Williston team in ever} ' feature of the game. But in the last two minutes the game was lost by the ball being fumbled, and a Williston man running ten yards for a touchdown. The game was characterized by the skilful w(;rk ot C ' aj tain Banks, who led the team thru the season of 1915. The game schednled with the Conn. Lit. Inst, was called off on account of the weakness of their team last season. cbcDiiIc Ort. 17 - - Cushing Academy 17 Springfield Seconds 8 Oct. 27 — - Worcester Academy 27 Springfield Seconds 0 Xo ' . 8 - - Williston Academy 14 Springfield Seconds U SOCCER F it were possible to condense the recapitulation of the season down to one word, we might most l)eht- tingiy epitomize it by using our 1914 cajjtain’s favor- ite exi)ression and say — “ Cfood !” The season has indeed been a great success. Not thru the work of any indi ’idual stars, for there were none. In fact, that is just the very thing we attribute our success to, — the lack of “ Jupiters.” Fach man felt the need of his team-mate. Fach man i)la ed a steady, aggressive game, with the true si)irit of ( )ld Sj ringheld throbl)ing in his veins, with a determination to win, and win in the clean si)ortsmanlike manner in which the school has carried away the honors so many times since its organization, and win we did in ever ' instance save one. Neither the writer nor an ’ of his team-mates are i)articulaiiy fond of speaking of that one. d ' he |)ros|)ects of ha ing a good team were not particularly bright when the first call for candidates was issued. Only hve men of last year’s team were a ailable, and tew ot the new men were of arsity calilire. We were lortunate in having a splendid second team last year, and the men who pla v ' d on that team soon jiroNed that the ’ were ca])al)le of upholding the good name of our . hna Mater on the field. d ' he lirst game against the Brussels ele ’en resLilted in a 4-1 score, with Brussels on the- small end. ( )n the tollowing week Rock dlle bowed to Springfield. It was a very slight bow, however, for we were able to make only one talk’ during the entire game. The vic- t(jry was particularly acceptable to the Cddlege team, for we have been defeated b} ' the club of scientific soccerites from Scotland for the last three years. Just to pro ' e that the victory ' was not an accident or a miracle we came home with the larger share of the catch later in the season. ()ur elation over our ictories recei ed a rude shock when we tra ’elcd to Andoxer to pla ’ the Andoxer Academy. W ' e xvere 1914 MASSASOIT 147 licked, — with over-confidence as the only legitimate excuse, altho they did have an excellent goal keeper, who was continually putting himself in the way of our well-directed shots. Defeat is not a pleas- ant experience, especially when it comes from an Academy. The team started for Harvard the next day with the full intentiem to firing home their scalp or die in the attempt. Well, Har ard was forced to swallow the pill, and we came home with a 3-1 ictory. ’ale was scheduled for the following week, but weather condi- tions made the game impossible. We regretted having to cancel this game very much indeed, for the Blue had a ‘ery strong team last year, and in all probability would have gi en us the hardest kind of a battle. The season ended on “ Aggie ” day with Rock ille as a iireliminary to the football game. The credit of molding the team into shajie and iiroducing the best ever is due our veteran of a captain. Jimmie Pa ne, and Ih ' of. Afileck, and to the men who composed the second team. W ithout the latter it would l)e impossible f or a team to secure the necessary practice that leads to pertection.

Many compliments of the highest kind ha e been paid the team, not only tor their program and work, but also for the ( ' hristian cmanh(X)d manitested by the members, d ' hese ha e come from men who ha e spent their li es in the work, in this and foreign countries. W’ e were exceedingly tortimate in being able to start the sea- son with eight ot last X’ear’s men. A large number of ncwv men turned out and tried tor positions on the team, and as the (iiialitx ' of the new material was high the old men were kept hustling. Kx ' ery- thing ])ointed toward a high t ’])e of work. Thc‘ manager ot the team had hxed ii|) a s( ' hednle which far surpassed the ones ot |)re ions years, and all that remained was to make nj) the personnel of the team. With such men as Ifrasaemle, Ksbjorns(;n, and Raymond, this was easih’ accomplished. A jtro- gram was arranged, by the captain, which was only made possible by the co-oi)erati(jn ot ex’ery man, and which for all-ronnd work and arietx’ has never been ecinalled b ' any gx nmastic team in the country. Profiting by three years’ experience with the team, the captain arranged a schedule ot twehe items, among which work on tour pieces ot ajiiiaratiis w ' as included. Team play was the kexnote thriiout. The exhibition work ot the team has been carried into seven states, nameh’. New ork, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Xew Jer- 150 MASSASOIT Vol. XI sc ' , Maine, Connecllcul, and Pennsyh ania. This sIkjws to some extent the demand for the team among the associations. It has alwa s l)een the foremost aim of its meml)ers to present the ahies and henetits of physical edncation, and also to stimulate likely young men to take up the work ot the Christian Physical 1 )i rector. d ' hat the work of the team is highly apitreciated and desired, where er it goes, is plain in the fact that whenever [tossihle the asso- ciations have schedtiled tis for the coming year. Last ear we had a trip to Little Falls and Honu ' ll, New Ork, and this season return engagements ha ’e keen scheduled tor both places. When taken into consideration that the distances to these places are great and expenses high, the standard of work done bc ' the team can readily be appreciated. The financial sticcess of the team this year has been due to the efficient work of otir manager, Mr. Herman A. Lorenz. To insure Gymnastic Team 1914 MASSASOIT 151 that everything runs off in excellent form, con- sidering the length of schedule and number of places visited, is no mean undertaking. Every man on the team has added his best to i)roduce that which is nccessai ' }’ for success, harmony’, and co- ojicration. The work of the early season was greatly handicapped by the illness of our highly efficient musical director, Mr. 1 larry Fisher, which developed into appendicitis later, compelling him to leave the College and team. The best wishes of the team arc extended him tor a thoro recovery. Mr. Fisher has been with the team in the past year, and his work was of the highest type. The life and soul of all the work of the team is (lci)endent upon music. d ' he vacancy caused by Mr. Fisher’s illness was tilU-d by Mr. Harry R. Habcock, a physical man, who has carried the team thru its difficulty in tine sha])e. Too much jiraise cannot be gi t n Mr. Jffil)Cock for his work. Few people realize that the work of the team is dependent upon syncopated music ' , and that the musical director is recpiired to sit at the keys and play for a two-hour stretch of time. Only a man of abilit ' and thoro training can ser ' e in this capacity. . s in past ears many have criticized the work of the team as being overdone. Not withstand- ing the length ot the schedule and the neces- sary extra time to be |)tit on academic subjects, otir men ha e finished up strong and in better con- dition than when the ’ started the season.

However, a fast scrajepy team was soon rounded into shajte ready for the season’s battles. Onr season ojcened with the sturdy Dartmouth li e at Han- over, at which time we met defeat at thc“ hands of a veteran team, the score being 24 to Id. Onr next endea or was against W illiams at W illiamstown, and here otir men made a name tor themsehes by administering the first defeat Williams had suffered on their floor in many moons. The following week C ' olgate came to our camp and left ns the short end of a 26 to 24 score. Imnu ' diately after the game the team left for Sy racuse, itla ing there the lU ' xt exening and again having the misfortune of being defeated. On January 2ad and 24th an enjoyable trij) was taken to Seton Hall at South Orange, X. J., and Pratt Institute, IHcoklyn, X. Our first game was lost by a close margin, the score being , 2 to 26, while Pratt was humbled 44 to 41 in an exceedingly fast and well ]4ayed game. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy were the next to come before our now ' well-balanc ' ed machine, and were swept off their feet by a 41 to 27 score.

Hockey Team FEMCIMG HH increased popularity which fencing has received in our college this year necessitates the su}Ji3ression of the usual apology f(wits entrance into the realm of the minor sports. Increased knowledge of a much misunderstood art has i)roduced a greater interest. Our enthusiasm has been kindled. our prejudices have l)een reiiKjved, and our desire f jr such a i)leasing, interesting, and e.xciting sport has been intensihed. d ' he return of Coach and the entrance of Lieut, von Blijen- burgh into (jur fencing life generated interest and caused a great deal of spC(, ' ulation as to the i)ossil: ility of having the best team that has represented the (hdlege. When hrst call was blazoncal forth ten men responded, all eagt ' r to have their names inscribed upon the roll (jf honor. After several months of practice the coaches decided that the folhnving men should compose the team ; ( Capt.) Lieut, von Hlijenburgh, ’14, Fryer, ’14, and Bird, ’16. The good work of our cai)tain, made possible by having had hfteen years’ experience in the l)est fencing schools of Europe, is worthy of the highest praise, lie has not only disidayed the line coordinations of the sport, but als(j enabled his pui)ils to acquire the technically line and difficult movements. It is due more particularly to the strong cmi)hasis which he laid on the use of the l)rain and of the eye when fencing, that his team-mates, after so short a time ot ])ractice, fought with success. ( )ur first contest, with the Alumni, afforded an o])portunity to discover onr weak points of attack and defense. The old T. S. men certainly fought well, but “ the old order changeth, aelding ])lace to new,” and they suffered defeat by 10 to 6. Following closely upon the Alumni match came the contest at home with Wil- liams ( ' ollege. After an exciting and fast struggle the visitors secureil ictory by one point in a 5 to 4 score. One week later we 1914 M ASSASOIT 159 retrieved our loss when we entertained Bowdoin and secured Irom them eight out ot nine bouts. Probaljh ' the most ex- citing meet was with Yale at New Haven. The ])resence of many of our seniem class- men, who had just tasted the beginning of the s(jrrows of a senior trip, inspired the team. After a fast, keen contest we emerged ictori- ous by 5 to 4. Mt. Hermon were the next comi)etitors, and (;nce again success marked our ehorts, tor our isitors were defeatt ' d by (S to 1 . There remains but one more battle royal to be recorded, and that was tor the Blaisdc ' ll troi)h ’. W illiams, by defeating ale and our team last year became its i)roud possessor. This year the c ' outest was lu ' ld at W’illiamstown, and ale was adjudged the wimu ' r. It was onh ' during the last two bouts that the contest was decidc ' d, the final number of jioints being, ' ale, 11, Springfield, 9, W illiams, 7. Thru graduation we lose two of our members.

Tin outdoor work was started socm atter the Faster acation, and the men be an to show their ability for claimin y arsity i)ositions. FIowe er, so tar as team work was concerned, the ])layiny ot this y’ear’s team was no c’xception to that ot tormer years. A kude of unison and co-opera- tion on the part of the men was distinctly felt. It seems that the men re])orting tor teams in theC ' ollege, come here with more or less reputation made with their own particular home teams; and it is extremely hard tor the c ' oaches to whip them into shape in one m ichine-like organization in which they ' must su])press their indi- iducdism. The nine men must work as a unit it they’ are going to bring home the bacon. In the 191.1 team one could pick out with- otit any difhctilty se a-ral stars of tin first magnitude, men ho knew the game inside and out, and it as also e ident that lack ot co-o|)C‘ration was their big problem. Manager Stone had scaaired a splendid schedule ot eighteen games, the opening game being with Amherst, which, owing to the inclement condition ol tin W(, ather, was |)layc“d only thru li e inn- ing- ' . d hi- Amherst bunch on aci ' ount of their long spring practice were .dready working in clock-like style, and easily deteatc-d tis. d ' his game, howe er, seiwed to bring out many weaknesses ot the team whii ' h ( oach Johnson proceedc-d to eliminate, and the I ' how- ing made against New llani])shire, wIkmi they barely nosc-d us out in the ninth, had a mai’ked etfeit on the- spirit of the men. d ' he Wor- cester d ' ech nine went down to deteat by a score ot 11 to 7. It seem- ' that the team at this time reached the- highest point ot per- teetion attained during tin whoh- season. But the turn ot the w heel again brot deteat into our camp. Thi tinu- the Miiooth work- 1914 M A S S A S O I T 161 ing Wesleyan team was the resp(jnsil)le ])art ' . The ’ rolled u|) the greatest nunil)er (d ' pcdnts against the team that season, 16 to 2 l)(ang the extent ot their mischiet. During the Xew h ork trip the team pla ’ed two very close and exciting games against Seton Hall and St. J(dm’s, losing Ixjth. .Again we lost to Xew Hami)shireState( ' ollege, d to 4, and Kxeter Academy heat ns 2 to d. Onr time-honored ri als, the Mass. -Aggies, certainK’ wiped tip the gronnd with ns. In the Wil- liams game we showed a little s|)iirt on the home stretch, ddiis was also a very close contest, with Whitehonseon the mound, who held them to tour scattered hits; but once more the team luul the fates against them as shown by the hnal score of d to 0. Stone, Kddy, Lang, and C ' hittick did most d the work on the twirling box, ha ing A1 Smith at the rei ' eiving end. Kell was the- regular at hrst, while W’ielt acted on second, ha ing Haskin- on the other side ot the bag. Fountain pla ed a good game at third, alternating with ( ' ampbell, Dic ' hl, Ritchie, and (dhttick being placed out in the gardens. Baseball Team Ill ' , iriinis reason ot 191a pro a‘(l lu he- the most si.c- ec ' sslul om that Sprini held has e er had. As was the ease the pr(‘ aous year there remained onlv one man who liad won his emhk-np or who had had an - eompetiti ’e experienee. I h( ' team alter a wcx ' k’s practice met the Si)ring- tield . Al. C A. and won from tliem I )v the score of 6 to a. While th(.‘ i itors exeelk’d m knowk ' dye and science ot the game they were in no ])hysical ( ' ondition tor a competiti e match. 1 he lollowing Sattirday the team took its annual trip to Am- hei t, and tlierc ' tor the first time- in the history ' of tennis relations between the two schools held the “Aggies” to a tie score. ( )ur rettirn ganu- was pla ’ed on Ala ' aOth and res ulted in a one-sided ietory, by the si ' ore ot 5 to 1 tor Springtield. ( )n tlu ' lOth ot Ala - oei urred the match with d ' rinit ’ (’ollegc at llarttord. .Xeitlu ' r team was in any ( ' ondition, and to make mat- ters worse there was a strong wand blowing across the cotirts. Fryer was the only man who succeeded in winning his match, ddie final score was ' rrinitN ' , 5, S])ringfield, 1. 1 he best and most interesting match of the whole season was pkiyed in Worc ' c ' ster with Holy ( ross. Thc‘ closeness ot the match is show n that with but one exception the ' hrst set ot ea( ' h match w ' ent to the loser, thus making it nec(‘ssar - to pla ' the three sets. In singles S])ringli(id won thrc ' c out ot tour games and broke e en on th(‘ (hnibles, thus nud mg the score 4 to 1 m our fa ' or. . rettirn game will be pla X‘(l in Springheld the coming .season. 1 hat tennis has impro ' ed was show n by the match with Willis- ton, in which the Springfield team did not give the academy boys a set. proxing conchisivelx’ that we are now of ( ' ollege c ' alibre. 1 he aniUKil ahimni garni ' ended in a tie altc ' r a most exciting stniggie. 1 he arsity was somewhat handicapiied bv th( ' breaking ot the teams in donbk ' s, but put tip an excellent tight. 1914 M A S S A S O I T 163 One thing that was characteristic of the team was the fighting spirit that they disitlayccl during the whole season. A match was ne er lost until the hnal jtoint had been made, and until that time e ' ery member of the team would Ite in the game as tho thc ’ were going to win. The men kejtt thcmseK’es in much better physical condition than did the i)reccding team, which was one of the chief reasons for the successful season. The factor that always i)la ' s a big part is the coaching, and it was thru the careful and faithful work of Coach Chene ' that ictor ’ was ours. He was alwa s on hand to strengthen both our weak and strong jtoints. The men who won their emblems were Surbeck, ' 13; Hampton, mgr., ’13; Kills. ' 14; Fr er, ’14; Schultz, ' 14; ( ' hai)ler, captain. ’14. C ' haplcr was re-elected captain and Fr er manager for 1914. And the schedule lor the coming season will be entireh’ with the college teams. W ith lour men of last year’s team and some new material the coming season should be more successful than the one of 1913. Tennis Team a 3 aior F()( )TBA1,L F. W. I )ICKENS, A. Batchelok W . A.
