'Rf I ' E -L! Eebication ELMER BERRY, B.S., M.P.E. ROFESSOR BERRY was born near Lincoln, Neb., on October 9, 1879. When about live or six years of age his parents moved to Northwestern Kansas, traveling in a prairie schooner. As soon as Elmer was old enough he was sent to school, the building being of sod and the school teacher being the wife of one of the pioneers. Some years later his parents moved back again to Nebraska. Here he finished his country school education. He was always ambitious and eager to learn and would allow nothing to stand in the way of his advancement, once he had made up his mind to do any particular thing. His father was always in sympathy with boys and their sports. Young Elmer always had his Saturday afternoon off, when he would go to town and play baseball and other games. He organized and captained a baseball team that was a winner. His father felt the handicap of a lack of education and always said that if his youngsters wanted an education, he would do all in his power to help them and would not stand in their way. VVhen Elmer had finishedigrammar school he was urged to attend the pre- paratory department of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. His parents sacrihced many things to let him go, in fact they made it possible for him to secure his education through giving up many necessities of life. Mr. Berry affirms that he owes all to his parents and their sacrifices and pays them a high tribute. He took the two years' preparatory work and then the four years of University work. For a couple of years, during hard times and poor crops, his mother used to drive back with him in the fall to the University to save train fare, and get him again when he returned home for the holidays. At this time his sister was at- tending sehool and they boarded themselves, their parents send- ing in supplies of food from the farm. During the latter part of his University course, his parents moved to Western Nebraska, and at this time they endured great hardships to allow Elmer to keep on with his studies. He worked nearly all his way through by helping on the University farm on Saturdays and by being an assistant instructor in the gymna.sium during the latter part of his course. 6 . His lirst real interest in physical education began when he was taking the preparatory work of the University. The physical work was then in charge of Dr. R. A. Clark, a graduate of this Col- lege and now in this city. Then during his freshman year in the University, Dr. Hastings, the physical director, who is a grad- uate of this College, announced that he would start a normal course ol' physical education to prepare teachers in physical training. Mr. Berry at once decided to take up this line of work although he was strongly advised by nearly all his friends not to take it up because he was not big enough and so could not make a success of it. This physical education course was arranged so that one could apply his electives to it. This Mr. Berry did with the re- sult that alter his six years at the University, two of which were spent in the preparatory department, he graduated with the degree of B.S. in 1901, and nearly graduated from the physical education course at the same time. .lust at this time Dr. Hastings came to Springfield College as one of the Faculty of the College. Mr. Berry had been his assist- ant at the University and Dr. Hastings urged him to come to Spring- field as a student, which he did immediately after his graduation from the University. He spent the summer preparing for col- lege and for the football team, on which he hoped to catch a place. This he did, playing as end. He graduated from Springfield in one year because of previous work done in Lincoln. ln 1903 he l3CCZlIT1C a Fellow of the College and was assistant instructor in 1903 and 1904. He was married to Miss E. Priscilla Melick of Lincoln, Nels., on August 10, 1904. That same year he became an instruc- tor here and has continued in that capacity ever since. He re- ceived his Master's degree in Physical Education here in 1908. Mr. Berry has been an instructor at Silver Bay Summer lnsti- tute, N. Y., since 1906. He was a special student at the Harvard Medical School in the summers of 1907 and 1908. Professor Berry felt the need of a year of study abroad both for broadening his educational training and also his technical train- ing, so he was granted a year's leave of absence. On September 5, 1912, he and Mrs. Berry sailed for Berlin, Germany. They had about two months there before the University of Berlin opened, which they spent in studying the language and becoming ac- quainted with the German customs. Professor Berry studied in 7 :lf-'5 'l ' ' .' ..'. T -,QV ,1 H. the University of Berlin Physiological Institute under Max Rub- ner on Protein Metabolism, and also in the Animal Physiological Laboratory of the Agricultural High School, which is higher than the University, with Zuntz on The Relation Between Sweat and Exercise. He also worked in the laboratory of Franz Muller with him on The Effect of Exercise on Heart Volume. His two full semesters of study were finished in the middle of August, 1913. VVhile her husband was studying, Mrs. Berry was not idle, but was attending lectures, etc., and thus taking all the cultural education she could secure. They both attended concerts and took trips to various points of interest. In Nlarch, IQI3, Mr. and Mrs. Berry traveled to Paris, France, where he attended the lnternational Congress of Physical Education as a delegate from the American Physical Edu- cation Association. After his studies were hnished in August he and his wife spent the balance of their time in travel. They went to Wein1e1', Eisenbach, and Munich, Germany, and then on to Lucerne and lnterlachen, Switzerland, then down. the Rhine River into Holland, where they stopped at The Hague the day that the Peace Palace was opened. From here they journeyed to Antwerp, Belgium, then to London, Oxford, and Stratford-on- Avon, England. They sailed from Liverpool and arrived in Bos- ton on September 18, 1913, after a little over a year of study and travel, which Professor Berry asserts was more than worth while. Professor Berry has written several magazine articles which have been published in the American Physical Education Review, in Plnfsical Training, in the Association Seminar, and others. These articles have mostly been along the line of proteid metabo- lism, dietetics, and albuminuria. At some time in the future, no doubt, much of the work which he did in Berlin will be published. Professor Berry is a hrm believer in Physical Education. He has been an inspiration to many fellows here at the College and especially so to the class of 1915. His example has meant a great deal to them, especially to the physical men who have come in close contact with him. They have all grown to admire and re- spect him and to try to live out the ideals which he has presented to them. His influence will be present with them long after they have left Springheld and he will always have a warm spot in their hearts. 8 a- I r s ' I I , V U- I 5 W, I ,.I'il,L 'B .

Previous to this time, County Secretaries, though they had largely been college graduates, were without the technical train- ing except that which they gained through the hard knocks of experience after going on the field and through the instruction of the State Secretary for County VVork, and the training they afterwards gained from attendance at the Summer Schools. A standard course, which could be given the men before they entered upon the work, was needed, and this led the Trustees and Fac- ulty, in co-operation with the County Work Department of the International Committee, to institute such a course here. Mr. Walter J. Campbell was secured in June, 1914, to take charge of this department as Professor of Rural Economics, Rural Sociology, and Rural Association Methods. Mr. Campbell comes to us from the State Secretaryship of County Work in Pennsyl- vania and in addition to this, he has had a long experience of teach- ing Rural Methods at Silver Bay. His knowledge of the Rural Situation as regards the Young lVlen's Christian Association and his insight into the Rural Problem generally lit him admirably for the work he has been called upon to undertake. About twenty men have enrolled in courses in this depart- ment. This number will undoubtedly grow and will, in a.ll prob- ability, be augmented by the addition of a number of college and II ig,-.'jp . A, gh H-P' .1 .-1-1.5 '-f-e19'f ' I if il in 'I . M ., .

The advantage of having men of pre- vious large educational opportunities, in Springheld College, is obvious. An interesting feature of this new department is the combi- nation of courses with the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst. Ten weeks of the Junior year will be spent in Am- herst, taking Short Courses in Agriculture and kindred subjects, together with a large number of courses in the Rural Social Sci- ences under such men as President Butterfield and Professor Cance. This is a particularly advantageous arrangement because it gives the men recourse to certainbranches that it would be impossible for the Springfield College to giveg courses which are in hearty sympathy with those given in the Rural Department. lt also affords the men a different point of view because of their attend- ance at another institution, even for so short a space of time. It is to be hoped that at some not far distant date this course at Am- herst will cover a full College year. This will probably not be the case until the course in Springfield has been lengthened to four years. The addition of a new Literary Society to the number already in this College has been the outgrowth of the addition of this new department. The Weidelisall Society is not limited in its mem- bership to County Men. lts membership is made up of stu- dents from all departments of the College who are interested in the discussion of rural subjects, for it is the aim of this Society to conhne its work to these subjects as much as possible. The men have been most favorably placed as regard their Normal Practice through the efforts of Mr. Campbell and Mr. D. C. Drew, State Secretary for County Work in Massachusetts and Rhode lsland. A number are engaged in Boys' Club work in the village and rural churches, others have developed the social work in outlying communities on a strictly County basisg i.e., having all the activities in charge of local leadership. A number of rural surveys have been made and the unusual opportunity has been given to a limited number of men to share in the executive work of the Franklin County Young lVlcn's Christian Associa- tion. VVeek-end deputations to villages in the vicinity of Spring- held have been another feature of the facilities afforded for Nor- mal Practice, which is so essential a part of a student's training. 12. he . . Deb--- 1 The College is fortunately situated in regard to these outlying communities, thus making it possible for the students to take a larger measure of work and responsibility than if the commun- ities Wcre more remote. A conference of the County Secretaries of Massachusetts and Rhode Island is held each month for the purposes of discussing the problems arising in their work, and for definite study and in- spiration. Since the inauguration of this new department, these conferences have been held in Springheld and they have extended to the Senior County Men the privilege of attending, and enter- ing into the discussions. This has proven of inestimable value to the members of this class, for it is here, as in no other way, that they are brought into vital touch with a multitude of questions and problems, many of which they will later face alone. ln agm.. n-,, I P V. 4 T... . , --i i M217-'.e,:-,it 11.51.

The College with its magnihcent array of buildings stands on a bluff which overlooks the large mirror-like lake for a stretch of nearly two miles in one direction and for a half-mile in the other. There she stands, looking mutely down upon the silently moving waters of the lake, watching them as they go on and on to become the waters renewed and refreshed of a larger body of water. For one who knows the College a.nd its ideals, the lake seems a part of the College curriculum, for it expresses in silent words the College ideals. lt is slowly, cautiously carrying away the conserved debris and depositing in its place new and fresh water. Rev. David Allen Reed, a Christian minister in Springheld, Mass., conceived the idea of training Christian workers. So in 1885 this institution was organized. Because of thc great need for trained men in the Y. M. C. A. field this institution gradually leaned in that direction, and in 1890 it bore the name of the Young Men's Christian Association Training School. ln 1891 the school authorities saw the need of extending the opportunities of spe- cialization presented here to foreign students, and as a result the name again was changed to the lnternational Young Mc-:n's Chris- tian Association Training School. The school during this time was for the most part a Training School for Secretarial men in the Y. M. C. A. HI-ERE the pines stand on high, o,er the far- 14 Athletics had been dominant in the institution from the first but it was not until 1887 that the physical work as a profession and as a distinct course in the school was started. In the infancy ol' this department it had as its leaders such men as Dr. Luther H. Culick and Mr. Robert J. Roberts. Dr. Cfulick was a recent graduate of a medical school in New York, while Mr. Roberts Was a 1110813 popular and successful physical director in the Boston Young lVlen's Christian Association at the time his services were procured. The College has the unique distinction of being the birthplace ol' a systematic code of ethics in connection with athletics and also of having invented the game which is now so very popular, the game ofbaskct ball. Several rather striking changes have come about during the thirty years of the life of the institution, the most notable of which arc: CID lts locationg Czj the general trend ofthe courses, and Q35 its material advancement. . While the school was in its infancy it was located at Win- chester Park. Because of the need for more space in which to carry on their activities, the location was changed to the present place. The College at present is located on Alden Street and Hick- ory Street, in such a way as to overlook Massasoit Lake in two directions. Because of the natural art surrounding the College this site will undoubtedly continue to be the home of the Young lVlen's Christian Association College. The general trend of the two main courses to be taken here has been most encouraging indeed. The Secretarial Course,,the earliest of any of the College courses, has grown in breadth of vision, depth ol' insight, and in the number of students who respond to the call. Today the Secretarial Course, from the numerical point of view, has increased four-fold. This growth has been due to the splendid training to be had here and the demand on the part of the rapidly-growing Young Men's Christian Association for more men and more ellicient men. The Physical Course sta.rted in the spring of 1887 and has had an interesting growth. It has increased many fold also, and in spite of the lead the Secretarial Course had to begin with, the Physical Course is now decidedly the more largely attended of the two. As rapidly as the Young Men's Christian Association has grown and has created the need for new offices, just so rapidly has 15 the College tried to meet that need. As a result of this effort the following courses now exist within the College curriculum: C15 the Secretarial Course, C25 the Physical Course, C31 the Boys' VV0rk Coursey QQ the County Work Course. A new course, the County Work Course for Physical Directors will be started in the near future. The College and its supporters should be given great credit for bringing about the conditions which exist as expressed by the following Table of Growth: 1.

Growth of the Net Property 1891-92 18,000 191-L-15 569,994 The future of the College is one upon which we have our great- est hopes and into which we thrust our utmost confidence. lt is anticipated that in the very near future an extra year will be added to the college course here, which will from a standpoint of time and material covered, make it far more eflicient than it is today. The nature of this year's work would be of a general character, and it would be required of all the men in the school. Perhaps it is wise to say that biology will hold a very prom- inent place in this extra year, for it would assist much in bring- ing about the desired effect in the general course since its object is to give the men a general foundation for their religious think- ing. This course in biology would culminate in organic evolution, showing man in all of his developments, mentally, morally, and physically, and would also show just what place man holds in the great cosmic scheme. The general theme running throughout the College curriculum is The Study of Man. Three of the most essential subjects in this connection are biology, psychology, and sociology. Our courses in psychology and sociology are admir- ably well-developed and in order that our study may be complete we must add the third subject, biology. 16 This extra year would give further training in physics and chemistry. It would also go more deeply into public speaking and English and the study of political history. The Secretarial Course will be strengthened, extending the work in business efh- ciency and in personal elliciency, so that business administration and salesmanship will be decidedly more highly developed. A missionary department will be organized and placed in the curriculum, and will be particularly applicable to foreign students. The department will be headed by an expert along missionary lines. At present we are fortunate in having twenty men in the school who are from countries outside of the United States and Canada. Such an expert could not only instruct these men in Foreign Mission work, but he could also find them positions in American Associations where they could get one or more years' experience before returning to their respective helds. Such would greatly facilitate the efhciency of the work now prevalent abroad. We look forward to a stronger course in our Boys' Work De- partment. For that, too, an expert's services will be procured and students will be instructed more thoroughly in the nature study and related branches. In connection with the Nature Study such sciences as astronomy, biology, botany, geology, etc., will be given with the view that they will be of great value in interesting the boy while in camps, hikes, etc. Mr. Walter J. Campbell, an expert on Rural Work, is now doing excellently in the development of men for that field. When the four years, course is established, one year will be spent at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, at Amherst, where the County Work students will study soils, kinds of vegetation, and plant life, and all with the view of making them more efiicient in their deal- ings with inhabitants of rural districts. The Physical Department is aiming to meet all the needs for Physical Directors in the various helds. For quite a span of years this department has trained men for the Association, school, and college physical directorship. Now the demand is coming in for men in County Work to teach the boys in the country how to play and what to play, and also to be of service in the administration or reconstruction of hygienic and sanitary conditions in accordance with modern times. Another demand is for Physical Directors in various Nlunicipal Recreation centers.

R fu-n-v ..-, x -uw, doing something towards coping with this problem, but in the future the Physical Department anticipates turning out the most eflicicnt men as directors in social centers, playgrounds, and men for the directorship in the utilization of school buildings. Special apparatus rooms are to be Htted out and the students given special training in medical gymnastics. This need is accen- tuated when we realize what the value of good posture is to the growing child. The Physical Department has done much along the lines of dict, blood pressure, physiology of exercise, and the study of sport. Special work has been done along the lines of ventilation, gymna- sium lighting, and swimming pools. It is hoped that the time will come when the Physical Department will have a staff of well- inlormed men to assist students in doing research work and to do and make contributions themselves. There is yet much room in the field of Physical Education for scientihc discovery and such a group ol men would do much to aid this discovery. The needs of the College are many and they involve every phase of the College life. The table of growth has made plain some of the ways in which our needs are met and along just what lines the needs have been. A college like this one needing land for athletic work of various sorts should have at least loo acres of land. We have at present 65 acres of land, with 25 on the opposite side of the lake. So our first need is at least 35 acres of land to help carry on our growing work. ' The beautiful lake which separates our property and which adds so much to the life ol' the institution is not under our control and we feel the great need of this. Our campus should be greatly improved, trees should be planted, the grounds made beautiful, drive-ways built, and the lawns cared for. A fence should separate our grounds from other territory, an arch-way should be the hrst welcome to visitors, and upon the campus there should be statu- ary to symbolize the ideals of the College. Two more athletic lields, and a playground, of which we should have exclusive con- trol should be added to our equipment and these would add more to the experience of the Physical Department student in doing nor- mal practicc work. Plans have been nearly completed for a 35,200,000 dormitory buildingg a picture of which may be seen on opposite page. That I9 V HI ' I J ' 1 A plz- H1 jx Wi ., , A --- Q ' x building will be a fireproof structure containing two hundred rooms and situated on the southeast extremity ofthe campus where it will overlook both views of the lake. Our next need is a dining hall which will accommodate three hundred students, having a smaller dining room for small suppers and social parlors for the social purposes ofthe College. Woods Hall, our present dining hall, could be enlarged and made to answer this purpose for an expense of 5l525,ooo. Such would add a great deal to the spirit of the institution. The Student Association, while not the largest, is one of the most eflicient in the country. lt is unique in that it embraces all student activities. lt carries a budget of over 3E3o,ooo. For its work to really grow it should have a building of its owng which would contain social parlors, rooms for the various student activ- ities, including committee rooms for the thirteen diflierent depart- ments. Such a building is possible for the cost of SB4o,ooo. lt would be propitious, at the time of the initiation of the four year course and the incoming of biology, to have the science lab- oratories housed in a science building. ln this building physical, chemical, physiological, biological, and histological laboratories could be housed to advantage. Then, too, special provision for our growing collection of natural science could be arranged for in this building. The great need of the Physical Department is for the comple- tion of the gymnasium tower. This would serve three purposes: CID It would give an opportunity for the collection of an historical museum of physical training, Czj it would give an opportunity for historical collection of apparatus, and Cgj it would give ample space for the instruction in medical gymnastics mentioned above. A chapel suitable for public gatherings, religious services, dra- matics, and lectures should be added to grace our campus. Six of the Faculty homes, at least, would add a great deal socially to the institution. Our last need is for a larger endowment. The collegiate standard is 354,000 per student enrolled invested in prop- erty and buildings. If such were true with us our endowment would be approximately 31,1o4,ooo. At present it is 'CliI32,6O0 and so you see that there is room for improvement. Let us look forward with hope for such a betterment of this institution as has been above suggested. 20 VK ,Z Ar iw Q rrxf' gilt-15 x5,, , :N QX ff , W fm ff 4 54 Q f RM?

The con- Zm tagion ol their ideals, their lives, has given us a worlcl's point of view, and if there was ever a time in history when such an outlook was needed, it is now. When this war- shattered globe starts to recuperate from the awful havoc that has been wrought with the engines of death, men will be needed to reconstruct a new order of things out of the debris. We shall have our part in it, but whatever we do shall be in no small meas- ure the result ol the precepts and examples ofthe members of our Faculty. Not only have we met them in the classroom, but we have gotten to know them upon the lloor or the Held of play. Each man in his practice work or as a member ofthe various teams, has become better acquainted with the professors, and he has entered into more personal relationships with them. Truly this is one ol the privileges ol coming to Springfield, for here our Instructors lead us in our work and our play. The memories of these physical activities and happy associations will always be with us. Time and again they have given us the beneht of their gentle, constructive criticism at our Literary Societies, making their influ- ence count onee more in our leisure time. They work hard and long to help us fellows in any way that they can, to make us stronger men. l-low often ha.ve we enjoyed the pleasure of being entertained at their homes, which a.re always full of cheer, hospitality, and good fellowship lor the students whenever they call! The wives of the Faculty always make us feel right at home as soon as we enter, and they are never too busy to receive us, or to plan a social evening for us. Many times have they willingly acted as patronesses at our various college activities. 39 Mountain Day furnishes another opportunity for the Faculty and the students to get together in God's great out-of-doors. What good times we have had in each other's company as we ate our lunch at Lithia Spring, or climbed the autumn-foliaged Mt. Tekoal The scenery, the hunts for geological or biological specimens, not to say anything of the chats that We have had, all cemented our friend- ships the more strongly. Then those charming trips up the lake, which will form the subject of many conversations or reveries on some winter's night in the future. Even now I can hear the plashs-e-e-e-ep of the paddles as the canoes Went up the lake. I can recall the shimmer- ing water reflecting the moon, the glow of the Ere on the Sandy Beach, the fairy-like effect of the lanterns in the grove of tall, dark pines, and I can see the full moon rising sedately in the heavens, casting a silvery light upon the landscape around us. Wliat a scene! And after a jolly supper ,neath the tall, silent trees, we finally gathered about the fire and listened to some strange romantic tale of long ago, that seemed to touch something elemental within us. Here again our Faculty had their influence. Or again, perplexed with certain problems in life we have often gone into the offices of our friends, for such they are, and have spent a long time with them there. Every fellow who has gone in, knows how much comfort, how much cheer, and how much inspiration have been given to him during these heart-to-heart talks. There is no need to dwell upon this for they have left their im- pressions. These hours have been some of the most Worth While in our college course. Soon the members of the class of Nineteen Fifteen will be scattered far and wideg huge oceans, broad plains, and high moun- tains will separate us, but we will ever cherish the memories and the inspirations of our friends, The Faculty. 40 I P .

At the beginning of the chapter was written the title, THE STORY OF THE CLASS OF IQI5.,, This is the way it read: About the year IQI2 A. D. there was gathered together in the vicinity of Springfield, Mass., and on the shores of Lake Massasoit, a band of men from widely separated portions of the globe. There were men from India, Canada, South Africa, and from all parts of the United States among those waiting to be received into the daily life of with all rites sasoit. The by frequent den hose. At the more closely fire, after which the oflicers were elected for the year. Witli this event the way was opened for that unihcation and co-operation among the class members that makes for the best work in any organization. In these early proceedings the .class was aided by a dozen Preps from the year before who already had experience with Springfield College. They were soon duly received and ceremonies into the tribe of the Great King, Mas- warmth of the reception given them was tempered cooling 'showers of blessings' emanating from a gar- lirst class social held 'up the lake' the men were bound together by the 'dog-roast' around a blazing camp- 45 iz, I-T ' C H I .. 1 E ji: V +i1g:'lii' l I 'F ft ll if T l I ' ll' i I .,?,,A 3 --'Y V T- -V, ..

VVith these preliminary prep- arations the ship of 1915 was launched on its three year course on the waters of the Massasoit. During their first year the men were given their first oppor- tunity to do something for Old S. C. in the task of digging a trench for the new heating system. For some time thereafter the Fresh- men were a pretty sore lot physically, but proud mentally at having performed a service for their College. A fitting climax to the year's activities was provided by the Freshman Banquet. The capture of the old Quaker Totem during the spring term is part of yet an- other story. It was with deep regret that the men left the College for the summer vacation. iVith the coming of fall they again welcomed each other back to Old Springheld with that warm clasp of fellowship which ex- presses more than words. The Hrst thing on the program was the initiation of the unsuspecting and unsophisticated Freshmen into the inner circle of the order of King Massasoit. By means of the ordeal by fire, the ordeal by water, the scene from 'William Tell,' and various other trials, the new warriors were tested as to daring, courage, and endurance. When they had fully convinced the worthy counselors of the king that they were deserving of a place in the tribe, they were admitted upon their promising faith- fully that they in turn would give to the next incoming class just as warm a reception as they had received. It is unnecessary to go into details regarding the ceremonies. Sulhce it to say that there seemed to be a sort of antagonism between many of the Fresh- men and the dining hall chairs, for they approached each other very diffidently and lingered together no longer than was abso- lutely necessary. At the social 'up the lake' they became better acquainted with the men from other colleges who had been added to their num- ber. It was during this, the Junior year, that they took their long- to-be-remembered trip to Hampden, upon which event the class of 1916 provided the excitement, paid for their suppers of crackers and cheese, paid for their transportation, and helped to make the whole affair a most pleasing success for the Juniors. Early in April the Junior Banquet, a most enjoyable co-ed affair, was held. Anyone who was present that evening could never doubt the attractions which 1915 had for the fairer sex. After a 46 number of speeches and musical selections by members of the class the old Quaker gentleman, ollicially known as the 'Totem,' was brought forth and introduced for the hrst time to the class as a whole. Then the class wended its way happily back to the dormi- tory, arriving early or late according to the distance they had to traverse. The Junior Trip, which included visits to the Y. M. C. Afs of Worcester, Newton, and Boston, helped the fellows to know each other still better and also helped them to gain a view of the vocation which they had chosen for their life work. The Senior year was, as it should be, the climax of all that was good. Knit together by the friendships and associations of the two previous years these men were now ready to go ahead and show what they really could do and they responded well to the call. The year was one of hard and profitable work. The professors, however, were now, more or less, known quantities to the fellows and so they were in condition to do their best to accrue the great- est benelits from their labors at the College. They appreciated that the time was drawing near when they would have to leave their dear old Alma Mater, and so were in the race to do their best. The most important event of the Senior year was the Senior Trip. This trip included visits to the large associations of New Haven, New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Washington, and was taken in order to give the men a broader view of the Y. M. C. A. work. In her three years of activity 1915 did her part in upholding the records and standard of Old Springfield. On track, Held, and lloor she was always well represented. Of the 1914 football squad ol' twenty-live men, sixteen belonged to the class of 1915, and thir- teen out of the eighteen letter-men were of the same class. In bas- ket ball and in other sports, 1915 was never left behind. In soccer, hockey, baseball, boxing, wrestling she always held her own, not only on the varsity Helds, but also in the class games, which from the Freshman year were for the most part victories for her. Be- sides this, 1915 also supplied her share of captains, managers, and members of dil'l'erent committees, as well as men to take part in various other activities of the College such as dramaties, debating, Glee Club, Student Association, etc. 47 f ga i i 4,.fHQ,:-14' -ii' 'M -V sl - :QI Yi' Lv , '- , '. ,. - . . - lg ' 'iff I V1.1-,.,-,+,Mhy3 ,' H-fri , g Q-,hi fr 1 1 -' I I l , --, iq 1 iw-1 - ' X : ' -11.

They fully appre- ciated X-. . Here there seemed to be a page torn from the history book and as my hand moved to turn the pages and seek to hnd it the mist came again before my eyes, then cleared away, and I was gazing on the dry, musty pages of my Ancient History. I stopped to think-VVhat was it that these men had to appreciate? I fclt that I could supply the missing page. They appreciated the suc- cessful passage through the narrow, rocky straits of Professor I-Iydels logic, and successful rounding of the promontory of Professor Best's religious education, and the successful passage of the mountain of Doctor Mac's book reviews at two dollars per. They appre- ciated, too, the fellowships formed, the difficulties met and over- come, the ideals gathered from association with professors and students, the vision of a life's work formed, and the opportunities for service offered by their course. They appreciated the kind- ness, sympathy, help, advice, and fellowship of the professors. These are but a few of the things they had to be thankful for, but lack of space prevents further enumeration. inline Qzniufs abraper We thank Thee, God, for all the dear And priceless treasures we have gained, As with our Alma Mater here For fullest manhood we have trained. We thank Thee for our comrades true, Who've mingled in our joys and tears, Who've cheered us when the skies were blue, And shared with us our doubts and fears. In mem'ry's gallery of art l1Vill hang forever for love's gaze These pictures which have formed a part Of our delightful college days. These pictures of Old Springfield's men Will linger through the distant years, And make us long to hear again Their vigorous inspiring cheers. 48 And thanks for teachers wise and true Who, living out their creed of good, Have taught us that to say and do Which followers of Jesus should. We thank Thee for a vision gained That will our lives with Thee inspire And with each victory attained Lead on to higher deeds and higher. y O God to us be very near,' Give strength to us for l1fe's great task And keep our vision broad and clear, 7 .lust this - no more - is what we ask. That by Thy strength we may be men Who walk the path which Jesus trod, And help to broaden out men's ken, And lead them nearer Thee, O God. May we exert our utmost powers As leaders in lil'e's endless strife, Bringing to men in darkest hours Safe guidance towards a better life. May we be manly men and true, And count ourselves to all as brothers, And only those things say and do Which We wish done to us by others, That we may prove by each deed done, The fruit of character unseen, That we are true and worthy sons Of nineteen hundred and lilteen. 49 T.

Early in his career, he was placed in hiding in a lonely barn across Nlassasoit Lake. Here he was rescued by the class of' ,O7 and was taken to a house on Catherine Street, there to remain com- fortably housed. Later he was transferred to a room in the dormi- tory and was fastened to the wall by a stout chain. '06 in a determined mood assailed his resting place and secured his release. Nlany unsuccessful attempts were made by ,O7 to recover him, but they hnally gave up in despair, whereupon '06 in a contrite mood of- fered to return the Totem. However, such a proceeding was scorned by ,O7, for if they could not win the prize they disdained to accept it as a gift, so Pop Garfield took charge of the homeless veteran and he was granted a brief period of leisure. At the twenty-hfth anniversary of their Alma Mater in 1910, the class of ,o6 who had returned for the celebration, now had pos- session of the Totem. During the progress of the circus, ,II kid- napped the coveted prize and was hotly pursued by ,IZ and '13, but to no avail. The Quaker was now kept in an Alden Street attic, and under a heavy guard he attended several class affairs. 50 At Commencement time, IQII, the class of ,Ig hatched a scheme to prevent the Quaker from getting into the hands of ,I2. During the Commencement dinner, by a well planned ruse, the class of ,13 secured the ancient protege and managed to safely keep the Totem until their Commencement. When College closed that summer, '13 decided to present the Totem to the under class best qualihed. The class to receive this honor could not do so by merely being a favorite, the Totem had to bc won by brain or muscle or the combination of both. Long hours ol' preparation, we have since been told, were spent in prepar- ing and burying Him, that his seekers should not be able to detect his whereabouts until the proper time should arrive. East Field, thc scene of many hard fought class affairs, Was the logical spot lor the burial, and there in the middle of the night the coflin containing the Totem was interred. Large placards announcing the fact that He was around the campus were posted during the Hrst hour next morning. If 1 51 He was not found by 2.30 that afternoon, his hiding-place was to be made public at a mass meeting in front of the dormitory at that hour. Scouting parties were quickly organized and representatives from allthree under classes were seen scurrying everywhere. To VVhitehouse belongs the credit of spotting a trace of newly uncovered earth. Soon a party of Hve armed to the teeth had slipped away to make a roundabout course to the grave. As the box was only a burden, Totem was taken bodily and mighty swiftly toward VVinchester Square. Two of the party stayed behind to bury the box and cover up our tracks as much as possible. So much done we all went back to Dr. Seerley's class, and underwent a Histology exam- ination. During dinner hour if anyone should have happened about VVilbraham Avenue, they would probably have seen two fellows and TotemU board a car, from which we took Totem to the home of Whitehouse. Two-thirty saw an assembly in front of the dormitory all eager for news. The proclamation was duly made and His burying- place made known. Excitement ruled supreme. Imagine, if you can, over a hundred men running wild to the sacred spot only to find after digging the grave, broken boards ofthe once so important coliin. The next morning the lucky hve, Whitehoiise, Rudkin, Heidt, Dorsett, and Bell once more united and gathered in the attic of Totem's,' new found home to pack him for shipment. Atlantic City would be a place where he might be considered safe, so at this suggestion, He was shipped to that town where he might enjoy the peace and quiet and salty breezes of old Atlantic Ocean. For only five of the entire class to really know Totem,' seemed rather selfish, so through the wise suggestion of our socia.l chairman Aguirre, Hen was brought back to Springfield and introduced to his foster fathers at the Junior banquet. No peculiar incidents, unless the secrecy of it, characterized Totem's trip back to Spring- field, to the banquet and away again to unknown parts. At present writing, Totem is safe in the hands of IQI5 men somewhere between the Atlantic and Pacilic Oceans, the Great Lakes, and Gulf of Mexico. 52 l f It nw ,,, g 4.-r. , 5. 1 1 I l I 5 -. 1 . 4 lr' f 4 A -'in . ,-5 r,.',gff1' .il IW, 1 lb 'B 1- , -. 5 ,J I: .- .. - - Y .r.

This record, therefore, is merely an indication of our endeavor to contribute to our college life things which are lasting. The summer created in every man a yearning for the renewed friendship of the College. Consequently every man enthusiasti- cally participated in the preliminary affairs of the College curricu- lum. Whether on the gridiron, at the opening ceremony, or the informal and formal initiation, the utmost was done to ensure success. The spirit of unity and friendship has always characterized the 1916 class. Into this spirit the new men entered when in response to an invitation they gathered around the fire on the banks of Mas- sasoit. There was a cheery glow in the Hre but there emanated a steadier, brighter, and warmer glow as every man resolved to Fol- low truth to wisdom for Old Springfield. . Early in November we lost one of our oldest and much re- spected members. ln response to that inexplicable and subtle feeling actuated by the sense of his empire's need, Mark Glanville left us for the war-torn lields of Europe. As a token of remem- brance we shared with the British Society the cost of a wrist-watch. We are sorry to lose Mark as a '16 man, but we hope he will return and finish his course. iaistorp of tha Eyjuniur Qtlass 83 g ., 2 1 . 'ev ,Mu-A .. vi! ,, T7'..ff'?q1 '1' 1 '11 1- A A F' 7 .lo' 1-. .',., In the realm of college athletics we have truly played the part of the middle class, so with justice we can say we have been the back-bone of our sports. The class games do not show as fav- orably. In football we tied with the Freshmen, won the soccer games from the Seniors and Freshmen, and in basket ball and hockey the under-classmen proved too skillful. We have contributed to the success of all the College activ- ities, such as Mountain Day, Thanksgiving Dinner, and the much- to-be-remembered Harvard Trip, while the Dramatic Club, Glee Club, and Orchestra have many Juniors upon their roll. It has been our great ambition to elevate the intellectual and deeper side of our college life. We have therefore set ourselves to discover the best methods by which this object could be attained. As a result attention was paid to the class honor system, the aca- demic standing of each man, the place of dramatics, and the class religious life. We have aimed high and we hope the detailing of accomplishments will not be considered an indication of pride. As a college we can be proud of the standard of our men. How- ever, some men, in all places, at times do not measure up to their own standard. They succumb to the temptation of acquiring a high grade by the least effort. Realizing the burden upon the Faculty the class took a forward step, by resolving to attend to any delinquency, and the following motion was recorded in our class minutes: Resolved, That the class notify the Faculty that any member detected cribbing would be given the opportunity to confess his fault to the class president and if he refused to do so he should be reported to that officer. The greater individual re- sponsibility has brought forth the best effort to suppress unfair- ness. The conhdence and faith of the Faculty has not been mis- placed. Another new feature in our classroom life is the academic committee. lt is composed of nine men elected by the class cab- inet, and has for its object the stimulation of individual interest in studies, the promotion of healthy competition, and the cultiva- tion of mutual helpfulness. Each committee man works under the supervision of a Faculty member and conducts regular quizzes. We have already experienced the value of this project but we feel the future has in store a greater position for this type of work. 84 , l The Junior play marks one more addition by the class to the activ- ities of the College. Under the careful direction of Miss Frances J. White, twelve men presented Charles Hawtrey's screamingly funny production The Private Secretary. On Friday even- ing, March lifth, responding to invitation, over seven hundred people, taxing the seating capacity of the Technical High School hall to the utmost, were convulsed with paroxysms of laughter. An indication of the success of the play is the request of the city Y. W. C. A. for its repetition in their own Association hall. Every Junior class finds it diflieult to obtain a class religious expression. The men are deeply religious, but when one is con- tinually receiving instruction in classes the tedium of the average prayer meeting speech becomes unbearable. Instead of accepting, as seems usual, the decreased attendance at prayer meetings, we sought a method whereby interest could be developed. As a re- sult a reversion to the communistic form of meeting took place. On February 9th the class and honorary members gathered at the Forbes and Wallace Observatory to hold the annual ban- quet. It was a stag affair. The Freshmen added interest to the occasion. Desirous of upsetting arrangements, plans were made to waylay the speakers of the evening. However, as can be ex- pected, a Freshie usually underestimates the size of his task. Their plans failed and the whole class at seven-thirty o'clock was seated around the festive board. We were fortunate to have with us as guests Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Packard, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Whit- ing, and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Berry. After satisfying the phys- ical appetite after-dinner speeches of high quality were presented by Mr. Packard and Professor Berry and representatives of the class. The quartet and other members rendered delightful mus- ical selections. Towards the close of the program the class num- erals were presented to the participants in the interclass compe- tition. lt gave us great joy at this time to initiate our guests as members of the class of 1916 and to present them with numerals. The evening's enjoyment culminated with the singing of Now raise a song for Springfield, which song Professor Hyde has dedi- cated to the class. When we returned to the dormitory we found our rooms had received unfriendly visitations by the under-classmen. ln consequence Act ll of the banquet was staged after midnight, it being distinctly a water scene. 85 J 1 'Q N J. . .fe 1 FW 5 -gf.

' -- ,. ,V , ' '3 u ilaistnrp of tba freshman Qtlaass URING the week of September 14, IQI4, there con- gregated along the shores of Lake Massasoit a tribe of ninety-seven valiant huskies, coming from various known and unknown spots on this terrestrial ball, from California in the west, Egypt, Australia, and South Africa to the east, from the snowy forests of Canada and Maine, and the orange groves along the Mexican gulf to constitute the class of 1917. These were they who had come up out of great tribulations, seeking still greater obstacles to overcome, that they might gain the laurel wreath. For a few days the aspirations of some of these huskies mounted to great heights, and they dreamed dreams as did the wise men of oldg but their dreams were shattered on the evening of September 2ISt, when they were accorded an impressive introduction into the Court of King Massasoit, receiving many lasting impressions. The king and his courtiers were very hospitable and insisted that we sup at their festal board, and we, being gentlemen of good breeding, promptly complied with their Wishes. On September 22d, we were repaid for our previous sufferings by the greeting we received from the Faculty and their wives, whereupon we began to feel more at home, and to realize that we really were part of the College. The class was particularly fortunate in having among its mem- bers a goodly number of last year's Preps, who proved themselves real friends in helping many a Freshman over the rough spots and in guiding his innocent, though often rash, acts. Q0 In athletics and other activities our record is an enviable one. Our football team rolled up a score 39 to 0 against the Preps, and held the Juniors to a scoreless game. In soccer we also turned out a line team which beat the H Preps 2 to Ig it was only a timely kick by lflarry Kingman which enabled the Juniors to defeat us 2 to 1. At basket ball and hockey, our teams had everything their own way, and defeated the Preps on the rink by a 1 to 6 score and the Juniors to the tune of 4 to 1, while on the court we outplayed the Preps by a 35 to I9 score and the Seniors by a score of 35 to 29. ln addition to our victories on the held and floor We turned out the team which won the inter-class cross-country run on November Lzoth. Several members of our class made their places on the var- sity ancl second teams in both football and soccerg three of our num- ber made the gym team and a fourth tickles the ivories. Our class is also well represented by three men on the new College swimming team. Not only do we achieve things in the athletic life ofthe College but also in other pursuits worthy of praise. Not all can be stars and shine in the lirmament ofthe athletic world, so some of us score our touch-downs in the fields of literary art, while others make their end-runs on the College Glee Club. About 40 per cent of the Freshman class are enrolled as secretarial men and known as udyspeptics by all physical men, although some of the so- called dyspcptics are more husky than their physical brothers. We have had several very pleasant social times, two of which will long be remembered by all who attended. Our Freshman banquet, held on February 18th, was more thoroughly enjoyed because the Juniors endeavored to break it upg nothing has done more to unite us into one great unit and give us a strong organization than this banquet. During the week of March'i5th, when both the Junior and Senior classes were away on their spring trip, the Freshmen became very lonesome, and as past experiences had proven the ladies to -be an excellent cure for lonesomeness, we held a social at Woods Hall on March 18th, and enioyecl a very pleasant evening, basking in the smiles of the fair sex.

A few days after our arrival we were, with other new men, lined up to pass the older men's examination, and to meet OLD IQING MAssAso1T. Many strong impressions were made during the evening-some remaining several days and it will be with the greatest of pleasure that we will pass on the introduction. That a closer fellowship might be created in the class, temporary officers were elected and the social committee at once gave us an up the lake social. A very enjoyable evening was spent in the canoes and about the blazing hre. Our class was represented in all the sports by good teams. In the cross-country we made a very good showing, winning second place as a team and third, fourth, and Hfth places as individual positions. We expect to make a very presentable showing on the track this spring with the amount of material which we have. In fl K , , - g ,.. O -AJ .

We tied with them in soccer and in view of the fact that they were class champions, our I to o score was not so bad. The class prayer meetings have been held regularly and have proven interesting and inspiring, bringing us closer to the ideals of the College. Our speakers have been mostly members of our own class, but we have been very glad to have with us members of the Faculty and of the upper classes. The first annual banquet of the class of 1918 was held at Forbes and XVallace's on March 12th. Here Inany of the men took the opportunity to display their HISTORIC SENSEU in their choice of weapons. The guests of the evening were Prof. F. S. Hyde, who ably acted as toastmaster, and Mr. A. J. Rhines, who gave the initial speech of the evening, his subject being Pardnersf' Our president Floyd J. Carter spoke on loyalty, emphasizing class spirit and pledging himself to old IS. Our class comedian A. H. Marvill presented a death-defying, hair-raising, mirth-provoking paper entitled A Day in the ' Prep ' Class. C. Clifton Frye spoke, as only an experienced see can speak, upon our responsibility to self and to others, in Random Thotsf' The subject of class honor was handled by Harold R. White, who expressed the necessity of humor in developing class spirit. The entertainment consisted of mirth and song, tenor solos by our vice-president Paul A. Sam- son, and a demonstration ofthe Sleep of the Isis by Mr. Carter, alias Professor Dumar, assisted by N. J. Mille1', C. H. Oberdick, and H. R. White. Our members living in the dormitory wish to thank the Freshmen for their interest in undertaking to teach us the hne arts, especially that of swimming which they taught in such a practical manner. They gave us a warm time, though the water was cold, and while some of our members were reluctant to enter, they admitted us all into the Order of the Bath. As a preparatory class we are proud of our record thus far, and with our eyes on the goal before us, under the training and inspira- tion of the Faculty, we hope to do our part in the race set before us. 95 i Gianni ' 7 Krmhi This STUDENT ' ' lllll 1 pfl, 1 ,nj - is ss ' ' W 1 f ,' 'ik ' ff' ww , , ,, QX ff' flltv 25 y . d - -my A- -hjlfv Q? Z ff. Student Y..M. C. A. .of our College is an all-inclu- Nw W' sive organization and lives up to the ideals of the lg 572 Y. M. C. A. in that it has for its purpose the devel- Q1 opment of the all-round man. Not only does it gg:.Ny.1gg endeavor to elevate theureligrous life ofthe students Qfggggqv through Bible ustudy, missionary study, and religious normal work, but it has practically entire control ol all student activ- ities, including the management of the Students' Co-operative Store and the Dining Hall, the direction of Athletics, the work of the Musical Clubs, Dramatic Club, and Literary Societies, and also the editing of the college magazine, The Springheld Student. ln that it is so inclusive it is unique, but this has been found to be a most satisfactory arrangement for a school of this nature. At present it is entirely under the control of the students and directed by them, which gives to several individual men a training which is of a practical, educational nature. ln the past year sixteen men served on the Cabinet, which includes the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and the chairmen ofthe various departmentswhieh will be mentioned later. In another place in this publication a more detailed account of their work will be recorded. Besides these men there were fifty- two students who served on the standing committees and then in addition there were several special committees which gave oppor- tunity for service. Owing to the fact that the responsibility of cer- tain departments has reached such a. point that it is asking too much ofthe students to take full charge ofthe duties of those departments 96 because of a demand on their time, it was recommended by the '13314 Cabinet that a general manager be employed. All efforts were made to bring this about but due to unavoidable circumstances that arose this was not possible. It is hoped that some time in the near future it will be brought about. Inasmuch as the prospect for the immediate employment of such a man to direct the affairs of our Association seems impossible the Physical Department Committee suggested the plan of employing an undergraduate for all athletics. This plan has been accepted, its object to be the centralizing and systematizing the work of this department. It is felt that it will be of great help and will be a step toward the larger proposition of the graduate manager. As we look back on the past year we feel that it has been one of marked success and progress. The reason for this was the spirit of co-operation that pervaded the work of all concerned and because of the diligent work of the men who have been here before us and who have laid the foundation. The editing of the first issue of the Student Hand Book has been one of the steps forward. Mr. Zinn as chairma.n ofthe Social Committee is to be congratulated on the industrious way in which he and his committee have handled their laborious duties. The work of this committee has had a great effect in keeping up the standards of our College life. The work of the Woods Hall Committee has been that of the most dillicult nature because of the crowded condition that exists in the dining hall. Mr. Bctzler and his committee are eligible to highest praise for the results they have obtained. ln this connection the students are very grateful for the splendid services rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Hall. As chairman of the Membership Committee, lvfr. Cooper is to be complimented together with his committee for the work they have done. This is a position which demands energetic and sys- tematic men. ' The religious work of our Association is somewhat different than in most student associations as the very nature of the school is religious. At the head of this phase of our activities was Mr. Heincl with his assistants. This committee was instrumental in broadening the work of this field. Professor Best has co-operated with them in enlarging their duties. Mr. Patterson, chairman of the Students' Co-operative Store Committee and Mr. Bain as manager 97 -A 4 ,I gg ma mtv lk' . STl'l7EN'l' f'.xn1NE'r ofthe store have made the store play its usual part ol' useful- ness to the students. Upon the Physical Department Committee, which has entire charge of athletics, a great deal of work falls. Mr. Bell and his co-workers have done an ellicient piece of business, and have been instrumental in the above-mentioned centralization of activities. One of the most noticeable advances has been that of the Missionary Committee under the direction of Mr. Rossetti. He is to be congratulated upon the results of his labors. ln order to be of assistance to the students the Employment Department has played its usual necessary part. Mr. Keltner has, with the united efforts of his committeemen, handled the work well. The Musical Clubs, Dramatic Club, and Literary Societies under the direction of Mr. Denman, Nlr. Armitage, and Mr. Bird have become well known both inside and outside the College. For the first time in the history of the Association the Dramatic Club 98 has come under its control and the result has been very favorable. The chapter form of organization has been adopted and plans made for another Commencement play, Ibsen's The Pillars of Soci- ety. Under the direction of the Literary Societies' Committee, a new society has been founded and known as the Weidensall after the pioneer in the County Work plan, Robert Weidensall. The first intercollegiate debate was scheduled with M. A. C. and directed by this committee. Our College paper, The Springfield Student, which has made a marked advance in the past year, was in the hands of Mr. Eddy, editor-in-chief, and a live group of assistants. The Student was fortunate in having Mr. Modder cartoonist, who with his skill brightened its pages.

It is the judicial body of the students' government, acting as an intermediary body between the Faculty and the student body. The increased enrollment of the College tends to make more work for the Senate, covering a wider range of activities. The Senate was organized nine years ago and its power has grown with it. It acts in connection with all acts of the students which are detrimental to the good ofthe entire student body, whether on or oil the campus. It can be seen that it has a high place in the minds ofthe Faculty for they have yet to act contrary to the deci- sions passed to them by the Senate. This does not mean that the Senate is ideal, but does show that careful, conscientious work has been done by its members. For years there have been dillerent conceptions as to the dut- ies of the Senate. It should not be considered as a police force, nor as a detective bureau, for it is neither. To condemn and punish is not the only work that the Senate does. It makes an honest attempt to raise and maintain the ideals ofthe College and to help those who have not appreciated the true signihcance of their being here, to see the bigger and better things of our life. Many times the Senate has to eliminate men from the student body who have proved themselves to be lacking in the manly qual- ities we expect and in the qualities which will enable them to ta ' ' - I ' '. ...-1' ., 1 '-4 L. .' 'E ' succeed when they are through College. This is not done entirely as a punishment, but also to protect the honor of the College, of which every Springlield man is very jealous, and to protect the other fellow. At times a number of the students have questioned the action ofthe Senate, yet in the end they have agreed that the best inter- ests ofthe majority have been considered very carefully. A Senator must have backbone enough to stand for what is right, irrespective of his friends. He should have also that touch which brings out the best in other men, and his energy should be directed towards helping men attain the ideal of our College -to become honorable, Chris- tian gentlemen. The Senate is composed of ten men elected annually by popu- lar vote ol' the student body. Four members are Seniors, three arc Juniors, two are Freshmen, and one is a Preparatory student. ln this way it gives each class representation while at the same time placing the control in the hands of the upper classmen.

Efforts were made in the early part of 1914 to get some extensions and in- crease in the equipment, but the lack of Hnances made all the dreams and plans ofthe committee of no avail. It is hoped, however, that the new committee, under the capable leadership of Mr. Van Hoogenstyn, will he able to make some provi- sion for the large incoming class that is expected next fall, so that said class will 1 not be inconvenienced as l was the class of IQI7 when it first came to the shores 1 of Massasoit.

The past year has been a very trying one and it was only by the co-operation of all concerned that the weekly rate of 353.50 was continued. The European War, foot and mouth disease, hog cholera, and kindred ills were cir- cumstances that made them- selves very evident and it was only through the econ- omizing secrets of our val- uable chef that the manage- ment Was able to come out on the right side.

In April, IQI 1, the M 572 Association decided to take over the store business, qi IB which was a private concern conducted by a student, g,g:.NW.lg,g S. F. Wright, and place It upon a co-operatrvehbasiis. Qffjg, JQQU At first many expressed themselves as not being In favor of this move and they predicted an early failure. A com- mittee Was chosen to handle the executive work while a manager and an assistant were appointed. In 1914 the capital of the store was increased so that the stu- dents only received a Ijq dividend instead of ISWO as formerly. As the present fiscal year has not closed at this writing, it is im- possible to give the Hgures for the past year. The committee is composed of Messrs. Patterson Cchairmanj, Metcalf, Laun, Cooper, and Campbell. They feel sure that the sue- cess this year is due in no small measure to the able way in which Man- ager Bain has conducted the business. He has been given loyal assist- ance by Messrs. Ferris and Stafford. The stu- dent store is certainly growing in popularity. STUDENT CIO-OI'EllfXTIVE STURE IO 4 'r , ' 1 . - , Sl 1, T M U.

This Work is sanc- tioning schedules, awarding letters, etc. There are some branches, however, where a chance for a cer- tain amount of originality presents itself and it is along these lines the committee has accomplished a few things this past year. As the College grows and our teams become more proficient, an attempt is being made to provide a schedule which will include as many high class college teams as possible. This requires a lar- ger appropriation, and during the past year the committee has added to these amounts for several minor teams. Two large trunks Were purchased for the convenience of the larger teams. Three new varsity minor sports were added to the former list: wrestling, track, and aquaties. Emblems were granted to three major teams, hve minor teams, two second major teams, and numerals were awarded to the IQI5 and 1916 classes. Managers and coaches were ap- pointed and captains sanctioned for the various teams as well as schedules approved and other detail work carried on. The College has long felt the need of a general manager for all athletic teams and with this object in view a committee of three was appointed to look up systems of graduate managerships in other colleges and to submit a recommendation to the Physical Department Committee. As a result of their action Mr. Van Geyt was chosen at a salary of 35300 to take full charge and he will be held responsible for the general policies, schedules, finances, and public- ity of all athletic teams. This step is an important one that will make possible better schedules and stronger hnances. 105 I til' ,ilfrflh ' 4 5 ,fffli efjlrizt Ill we i 'lil , 'fl ll ff 589 -L. , faiv.1'fl . lf 'dt t If K Q, A lfllilzilf T . l f fff?f'rF5d UR College has long been noted for its high percen- tage of self-supporting students. Many men have come to it without a cent and have left it with money in their pockets. Such destitute arrivals, however, are not encouraged, although past experience has shown what men can do and have done. The increased enrollment of the College students necessitated a systematized control of work both inside and outside of the build- ing. For this reason the Employment Department Committee was organized and established as a regular department of our Stu- dent Association to be directed by a chairman with two assistants. These men seek to advertise throughout the city the qualihcations ofthe College men for the various types of work. The department promises no jobs, but does promise to the best of its ability to aid and direct the students who need employment. Many students are able to do teaching in evening schools, others are typists, tailors, salesmen in stores of various kinds, etc. Dur- ing vacations a certain number work in the post ofhces and with the express companies. During the school year of 1914-15 hundreds of men in this city have been wandering around in search of work. Consequently this institution, as well as others whose members are partially de- pendent on employment, has been unable to secure the odd jobs which formerly were so abundant. This condition, however, will not continue and already a big change for the better is taking place. The employment department Hlls a big place in our College life and bids fair to assume larger responsibilities each year. 106 h L if r Q ky ,, .1 if 1 X Fly, 6 ll wrt Xu 'l S N fll X W YS DURING the past few yeais the interest and what rlwiwwffmj is more important, the necessity of boys' K work grew so in- tense in the Col- e ' ' lege that a group of men got togeth- er ftnd formed an organization know n a s t h e Boys Work Sem 1I13.I' The opening of this season found most of last year s supporters back bers entered and took hold of the proposition with unusual spirit Through the kind efforts of Mr Donald North Prof R L Cheney incl others an exceedingly helpful ind varied program was supplied the group which met cfrch week ff - Q , --Shu S W- 1 l T C ' - X ' -41 'A l I C ml w- i m ' ' Z 'lx ' ' . l ' X I T .

The students have really begun to look over the horizon of their collee cups to the great movements that are afoot in all parts of the world. Wfe rejoice that mighty changes are being effected in our midst. The men are more earnest, more eager for real culture and polish, and have settled down with clenched hsts and wrinkled foreheads to study conditions in other countries. They are linding that there is much that is good in India, in China, in Japan, in Africa, and in all the religions that these countries represent, and they are endeavoring to sift the false from the true and are thereby bringing the message of the Great Teacher to the hearts of these people. During the past year ninety-hve men, signed up to study books like South American Problems, The New Era in Asia, etc. Some of the men have signihed their desire to consider the investment of their life in foreign lands, others will be giving mis- sionary talks in the neighboring churches, and still others will be our helpers in making our future mission study a success. 108 l iii Goo goHlBlT'0N iff?

Business men, captains of industry, military leaders, kings, doctors, and economists join hands with Christian leaders when they raise their standard against John Barleycorn. The colleges now are entering these ranks with reinforcements and are lighting under the title of The Intercollegiate Prohibition Association, which is already striking terror into the breast of the foe. Springfield College has ioined the ranks and expects to Hght until the liquor trallie ofthe United States has been forced to evacu- ate. This is a worthy cause for any college to uphold. Since New Year's, 1915, a most interesting study class under the direction of Profes- sor Cheney with thirteen members has held weekly discussions over the vari- ous phases of this evil. Not only has this be- come a most interesting meeting every week but when the class has com- pleted its course it will be able to meet the -as friends of the liquor in- terests and attack them upon their own ground. lisa 4 .. ..

It was published weekly in typewritten form for about hve years when it sud- denly vanished. However, the undergraduates still felt the need of some medium through which to express their opin- ions and feelings, so after several unsuccessful attempts, The Spring- field Student, under that name, was lirst published within the pro- tective cover and in conjunction with The Seminar. lt was called The Association Seminar and Springfield Student. Then after two years in the company of The Seminar it gained courage and strength to start out alone as The Springfield Student. The ideal that the editorial staff held before them at the start was to portray the school life as accurately and fully as possible and to represent impartially the student activities, to make a truly representative paper that would strengthen the school spirit and the bond between the alumni and the students. Since that time the school has become a college and The Springfield Student has grown along with the College. The paper has held to the same ideals though the path has been devious at times. The editorial board of the past year has tried to obtain the best elliorts of the College men along the literary line and faithfully and cheerfully to record events as well as opinions and to hold the interest ofthe alumni. The publication has been particularly fortu- nate in obtaining the services of a skillful cartoonist, who has done much to brighten its pages and the spirits of its readers. Too much praise cannot be given to the associate editors for the loyalty and eo-operation they have shown in conducting their respective departments. VVithout such efheient assistance the work would have been well-nigh impossible. The business end is growing in responsibility with the advent of each new year and the task under the Hnancial conditions exist- ing during the past season has been particularly hard. With a necessary outlay of over live hundred dollars the business staff has had a large linaneial responsibility which had to be met by the returns from advertising and subscriptions.

M. C. A. College. Its aim is: 1. To create interest and de- velop elhciency along musical and entertainment lines. 2. To afford opportunity to give and receive ' social improvement. 3. To add as largely as pos- sible to enloyment and sociability ol' all College functions. 4. To establish and extend pleasant and helpful relationship between College and community. 5. To aid and serve outside Christian and secular organizations. VVe have had a most successful year and have set a standard that will be hard to beat. The musical men of the College were especially favored this year with several opportunities to visit the Auditorium and hear such concert stars as Alma Gluck, Frieda Hempel, Madam Gadski, Louise Homer, Evan Williams, Wither- spoon, P. Amato, W. Kelley, and others. This was a great in- spiration to us all and evenings never to be forgotten. The work of this department is divided into live branches, e.g., Glee Club, Orchestra, Mandolin and Guitar Club, Quartettes, and Personal VVork Department. The Glee Club this year is com- posed of some of the best voices that the College has ever had. Prof. F. S. Hyde, leader, has done great work with this group. Eigh- teen times Manager Cameron piloted this aggregation to success. The Orchestra, led by Mr. Engle, has done very ellicient work and great praise is due them. They have filled eight concert dates and several times combinations of orchestra men filled dates where the entire orchestra was not needed. The Mandolin and Guitar II2. t' A i vp .Q . . MJ' a 1' Q M i'sie.u. Claims Trio, organized and managed by Mr. Ashmus, has been a big addi- tion to our musical program. They have Hlled twenty engage- ments with Hhowlingl' success. All classes have been represented by a quartette at some time during the past year, but the only one to gain reputation as the College Quartette has been the one represented by Nlessrs. Cameron, A. Anderson, Beckwith, and Samson. This quartette besides being of great service to the College and community has been traveling for the Amherst Entertainment Bureau. The Personal Work Department has done the most extensive work ever seen at the College. Approximately seventy men have made over six hun- dred musical credits this year. The positions that were filled are as follows --choristers for churches and Sunday Schools, quartette and choir members, soloists in church and social functions, and in a few cases members or leaders ol Sunday School orchestras. 113 1' U 'ft fit?f2 95? ft C ff? .5 9 a '- A 2 9 elglllillf. -9 5,5 ,wf iait-as .1 it ifiillrieiglr ,ri aw f fy fr . ,-KR X f,- f Fzijvq -FYYY V X-4x NfqA WF!- ffm EWNRY r 6+4E I , ost LIL..

The ability to express his knowl- fef edge and give inspiration to those with whom he was Q working became an essential need in the require- Zm ments of the Physical Director and the General Secretary. For the purpose of providing platform practice the literary' societies were formed and have since continued to grow and develop. They are under the supervision of the Student Association, which elects each year a chairman and a committee to control this work. , --- - -- WEmENs.xLl. Lrrmimicx' Sorvu-rm' II4, l l M CKI NLICY LITEHA ln' Soeilcvx' Formerly the work of the societies was divided into four groups, namely: -The Lee, Mcliinley, International, and Philomathean societies. This year, however, because of the rapidly growing mem- bership and the demand ofthe new County Work Course for specihc practice it was seen lit to depart from the old regime and a new society was installed under the name of the Vtfeidensall Literary Society. The program ollcred by the different societies is wide and varied, covering everything from dramatics to practical shop talks. Each society is fortunate in having for its critic some member of the Faculty and no little credit is due them for the success and growth of these societies. These meetings are held every Nlonday evening of the school term. The program usually lasts an hour. Several days previous to the meetings the programs are posted in the mail room, where they can be conveniently consulted bythe members of the societies. Each member usually has an opportunity to appear on the program about once a month. Incidentally opportunity for social development presents itself in the form of co-ed and up-the- lake allairs. The greatest interest in the literary World ofthe College is cen- tered in the annual inter-society debates. In 1909 the Student II5 , ll VV x i LEE LITERARY SOCIETY Association offered, as a trophy, a silver loving cup to the society winning these annual debates for three consecutive years, a feat of no mean accomplishment. The Philomatheans were successful for two years but at the end of that time they had to relinquish the cup to the International Society. They held it for two years and then lost it to the McKinley Society, who boasted of its pos- session for two years also. This year the International Society re- gained possession of the cup after av hard struggle. Because of the addition of the new society, the Weicleiisall, it was necessary this year to hold four debates instead of three as formerly. The lirst two to enter the field of battle were the Lee and the Philomathean contingents. The point at issue was: Re- solved, That the United States should operate its own coal mines. The Lee army, composed of Messrs. Mazurlqiewiecz, Van Geyt, and Kingman, upheld the affirmative, while the negative was taken care of by Messrs. Stafford, Higbee, and Welton of the Philomathean squad. When the smoke of battle had cleared away it was found that the Philomathean Society had won. The second topic for discussion was: Resolved, That all man's activities are determined by Heredity and Environment. The affirmative was upheld by Messrs. Bird, Halliday, and Mitchell of 116 I A, f,, .. an-V 1 4' ' T -,J 41, l 1 ..

Clapp, Smith, and Bain, attended to the negative side. is The judges alter a long and serious council Hnally decided in favor f Pa, of the Internationals. This destroyed the hopes of the Meliinley Society of gaining permanent possession of the trophy, for the time being at least. - The debut of the Weidensall was looked forward to with a great deal of interest and anticipation. They clashed in a battle of words with the formidable International team. The subject for debate was: Resolved, That in the interest of international pea-ee the United States Government should prohibit the sale of munitions of war. Messrs. Burtis, Leary, and- Jones were chosen to repre- sent the Farmers, as the Weidensalls are called, and they up- held the allirmative in worthy fashion. The arguments produced by Messrs. Bain, Rossetti, and Smith, however, proved a little too much for them and they were defeated by the Internationals. The final clash came between the old rivals, the Philomatheans and the Internationals.

The International Society upheld the allir- mative and, continuing their splendid work, won the linal debate and, inci- dentally, the trophy. For the past two orthree years ellorts have been made to bring about an inter- collegiate debate, preferably with our old-time rivals, Mass. Agricultural Col- lege. Until this year, however, all efforts have been in vain. But this spring a debate was arranged between the two colleges. The subject for dis- cussion was: Resolved, That the United States should maintain her navy TYINNERS 01' INTER-SOCIETY DEBATES Second Only t0 that Of Great Britain. The debate took place here in the chapel on the evening of April 8th, and Messrs. Stafford, Burtis, and Rossetti, with P. C. .lones as alter- nate were chosen to defend our College.

All of the men, with the exception of 'M gk? one from India, were Canadians. The fraternity flourished and grew apace. Each fall a banquet was held and the new members were welcomed and admitted to the fraternity. Then the 24th of May was celebrated annually also. From the minutes, it may be seen that the fraternity was very loyal in those days and that the members were fond of the fair sex. Many of the socials were co-ed affairs and in one place we read that most of the fair damsels came from the American International College. ln 1909 the name of this organization was changed to that of The British Society, and this has remained unchanged up to the present. The membership has grown from ten to thirty-nine and we look forward to even larger numbers in the years to come. This past year there were twenty-two Canadian members. Since the foundation of the British Society they have always numbered more than one-half of the total enrollment. Three members of the Faculty also belong to this society. The ofhcers for the year that is almost past, are as follows: J. Bain, president, H. Halliday, vice-president, S. L. Metcalf, secretary-treasurerg and R. M. Jones, social chairman. On Friday evening, November 6, 1914, the Annual Banquet of VVeleomc to the new men was held in the social room of Woods Hall. Thirty-nine men were present besides the guest of the occasion, 119 l L1-T? ' 1 'T . if r i F - - - I BRITISH SOCIETY Mr. Northrop, president of the Student Association. A very en- joyable evening was spent by all and the affair was voted a huge success. On Wednesday evening, February io, 1915, the second meet- ing of the year took the form of a skating party at Gunn Square and a social later at Professor Best's. This was a co-cd affair and was much enjoyed by all who were present. Professor Best's hos- pitality was acceptable to all and it was with reluctant steps that we came away. The last meeting will be on Victoria Day, May 24th, which is always celebrated as a holiday in the mother-land and in the col- onies. Last year a trip to Woronoco was taken, where Professor Affleclc's cottage was invaded. This year it will probably be a co-cd affair and the destination is at the moment of writing unknown. At this time the election of the new officers will take place and also the newer men will probably be initiated into thc order of the Sacred Cow. 120 . ,ig ' - V K 3 1- i , , .A- 3 F, Wm , ' lib, K , K if N ICNCTE !

This year for the Hrst time the students have taken an official part in the promotion and fn eo' supervision of this work and all records for both QQFUN 145159 NS2'A extension and improvement of the normal practice 55 lg Q-vgg ,QQU quality and quantity have been broken. It may be well to explain that the College recognizes the abso- lute necessity of having practice go hand in hand with theory and therefore gives recognition in its curriculum for various phases of extension work. The normal work is classified under the following heads:-Physical, Musical, Social, Executive, Educational, and Religious Instruction. The opportunities for normal practice have increased enor- mously during the past few years, and the number of positions offer- FOREIGN Social, I2 ing remuneration has more than kept pace with the general extension program. The growth of the Student Association Withits expanding budget and increasing activities has tested the executive powers of a great many men. The collection and expenditure of 333,000 is in itself a valuable train- ing in administration. The business managerships of the Student Handbook and of the MASSASOIT and the editorships of these have given splendid executive training to some men. The engagement of ten men as assistant faculty to supervise all the extension work except the physical work has been a new phase of executive work. Four of this group were Seniors, Patter- son, Mackey, Houghton, Bain, while the Juniors were represented by Heinel, Wilson, Rossetti, Bunker, Cooper, and Zinn. Each of these men has loooked after the extension work in a certain group of churches. They have also taught a course in Teacher Training to the Freshmen as part of the regular curriculum. It is gratifying to report that through their efforts the number of mcn engaged in normal work has almost doubled, while there has also been a marked improvement in efhciency. One hundred and forty men have been regularly engaged as teachers in Sunday Schools and in Bible classes in the Y. M. C. A. Twelve men have been engaged as executive ofhcers of Sunday Schools, nearly all as superintendents or assistant superintendents. Thirteen men have been successful as scoutmasters. Six men have been employed as pastors, while about thirty men have directed the activities of boys' clubs in the churches. The men who are training for County Work under the direction of Professor Campbell have all been regularly engaged in extension work of all kinds and their earnestness and self-sacrifice have been an inspiration and a prophecy of the kind of Work that will be done by the future alumni of this College. While perhaps a fewer number of men have been engaged in our educational work with the foreign speaking classes, we feel that a consistent policy has been followed throughout the winter and that practically every man has fulhlled his duty well. All of the service has been voluntary, the men giving an hour each night for two nights a week. They have given valuable aid to these coming American citizens and in turn have received an inspiration from the ambitious, grateful foreigners. It has often been hard work to turn out for teaching, during all the stormy nights of the past winter, but all the instructors deserve credit for their faithfulness. The classes for Russians, held in the Carew Street Baptist Church, show an enrollment of forty-two men. As a rule the at- tendance falls off gradually towards the end ofthe year, leaving the 122 most ambitious scholars in the classes. The civic classes taught by three of our men who are Canadians and held in the local Y. M. C. A. were a huge success. At the Mittineague Y. M. C. A. remarkable interest was shown by the seventeen Italian men and women who attended the classes very regularly. Their eagerness to learn continued right up to the closing night, when they enjoyed a social evening together as the guests of their three teachers. Several schools were established in private homes of Russians and Greeks, who gathered their families and friends together and our men went to teach them, using the Roberts system. In all, about one hundred and twenty-six foreigners were taught by lif- teen of our College men. ln many places where classes were at- tempted, the people were found to be entirely undesirous of learn- ing the English language or did not care to better themselves. On the other hand, the men in the classes established, although many were very tired after their long, hard day's work, were extremely eager to continue their schooling and have shown a great improve- ment. The physical normal work, under the direction of Professor Johnson, has multiplied greatly during this year. The opening of social centers in the public schools and the use of the McCurdy natatorium has brought both experience and financial reward to a large number of students. There have been a great number of our men employed as instructors and guards in the pool. Many men have had a chance to do normal work in the gymnasium as stu- dent instructors. The Sunday School Athletic League has fur- nished an opportunity for a number of men to coach teams and to ofliciatc games. The public schools of the city have used many men as coaches. Boys' clubs and the like have given our men a chance to do much normal work. It is the ambition of the Faculty that every student should take an active part in the extension work to a greater extent than ever before. The young men and boys of this city provide a chal- lenge and an opportunity that is probably unequalled. As we strive to bring the ideals of the abundant life to the community, we will also be serving our own best interests, for it is in just such service that we discover the truth of the Master, He that loseth his life, shall Hnd it. 123 1 J l if 6 , f z- 1 ' f m r riff j A kr A T' 1 9 M . . . . 1 Activity along social lines ' has been manifest this past , ,J ' if it year as in other years at Spring- art fig field. The burden has not been WW' borne by the committee dele- llllf A, .?gi,2 gated to this work, but the Ql 1.3 greatest spirit of co-operation s wift? 1 and pride on the part of every student has meant much for . y,th lt' e success o e ear's ac iv- , pf? ,I th f th y t an 1,05 I W ' ity. Every appeal made by llllllv the Social Committee has been ff met with the characteristic s meant personal inconvenience. Springheld spirit, even when it ha Realizing that the rehning influence of social life is just as much a part of our training here as any course in the curriculum, the com- mittee has endeavored to make the social functions minister to this need. At all times emphasis was placed on the inviting of friends, particularly those of the opposite sex, with the result that the College affairs were replete with Springfield's fairest. We keenly felt the lack of equipment in en- tertaining, but under the lash of necessity, the Old Dorm was made to shine with a splendor heretofore unknown when Open-house was an- nounced. The same has been true in respect to our dining facilities. This g year Woods Hall has been I2 h1OlfNTAIN Din' Hum 1 l v L--' ' I-s,f.,,, --1 w -ii:--'f'f1Ti I ' A --.Q 5 ,W so crowded that it has been impossible to entertain guests in any large num- bers. Chef Hall came to V our assistance and solved the predicament by serv- ing buffet luncheons 'neath the trees when the weather permitted, and when the elements prevailed re- course was made to the A gymnasium. But not only along co-educational lines has thc committee labored. Efforts have been put forth to drive dull care away in which the fellows themselves were called upon to fur- nish the social leaven. The numerous football rallies with their care- free enthusiasm have done much to lighten the daily routine. Mountain Day with its chestnut quests, tramps, and climbs will linger long in the memories of those who participated. The assimilating of the new men in the fall gave promise of no small task and the Social Committee was able to make a contri- bution in this respect. The collective wants of the Freshmen and Preps were carefully looked after by King Massasoit and his braves a little later. Both the rough-house and the formal initia- tion ceremonies made a deep and lasting impression on the novi- tiates. After this irksome task was over we were all in truth Sons of Old Springfield. One particularly bright spot of the year was the annual Thanks- giving Dinner at Woods Hall. At this times a number of the Fac- ulty and their wives took compassion on a bunch of homesick fel- lows and graced the dining hall with their presence, foregoing the pleasure of a quiet day at home with their families for the some- what doubtful pleasure of a dinner with the Bunch.,' Another event which characterized the enthusiasm at Springheld, especially around football season was the trip to Harvard. The trip did much toward the unifying of the student body earlyin the season and in this way effected college loyalty throughout the year. A special train was chartered and over two hundred and Hfty men took the trip. BOY ScoU'rs -oN PRATT FIELD I 2 5 Of course there were the usual activities during the year. The annual canoe carnival, lawn parties, receptions, open-house socials, Aggie day celebration, Mountain Day, football reception, initia- tion, and the rest, but they constitute merely the skeleton of the social life of the College. The things that have made the deepest impression are the closer social relations which come in that man- to-man fellowship which is experienced day by day. The other things are no doubt needed and helpful, but the thing that counts most is that which no committee can promote, but which must come spontaneously from the heart of every mang that spirit of brotherhood which after all is the true objective of our social life here at Springfield.

There is no truth in the rumor to the elliect that the regular theaters of Bridge- port are having to close up on account of unfair competition from the Y. M. C. A. Then there was Miss VVhite Qand there is Miss Wliite, thank gooclnesslj. She has a wondrous knack of transforming the most unlikely material into wondrous forms. Under her magic power, Wfilmorc was transformed into a real hero, for one night only, on the occasion ofthe production of the Melting Potf' Mazurkie- wiez became a Russian baron and his manner matched his name for once. The gentle Jimmy Blythe became a fiery German orches- tra conductor, - very noisy, - and even Armitage, - with a nickel in his pocket,-was transformed into an American millionaire. Jerome, still possessing the clinging odor of Yale about his person- ality, became a veritable son of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whilst the ladies, oh, the ladies! they did more than their share to make the Melting Pot. Miss White was the Alpha and Omega of it all. Truly she is a wondrous personage. Even Houghton worked I27 A l Ctell it not in Cath nor on his father's farm in New'HampshireD and the stage hands at Court Square can testify to his ability as Props, Smiling Bill Challice packed the theater, and others too numerous to mention helped in an astonishing variety of ways. When Wilmore left, the Massasoit Dramatic Club was merged into the Student Association and its activities were gov- erned by Prank Armitage, ,16, assisted by Houghton, Cameron, Clapp, and Mazurkiewicz. All through the year that has gone, matters theatrical have progressed. Take the stage front, for instance. Morita built it. Morita is a virtuous youth. For long hours he Worked in the nether regions of the Dormitory, - much to the dismay and anguish of beloved Pop Garheld. Then Mor- ita took a vacation Cexcellent youth! he deserved itj but he Wotted not that wicked contractors were on the horizon seeking what they could devour, and alas, poor Nlorita had to build another stage front. The first one Was not. Then there was'the minstrel show. This excursion into the realms of the black 'art was not steeped with any intention of securing additional dramatic inspira- tion. The adventure justified itself, for was not good Professor Hyde charmed,-delighted! He said so,-hence ,it was so. The end justihed the means. Even i the staid and ex- emplary Junior class became en- thused in Dra- matics.

Clyde Fowler, - than whom there is no more peaceable student in College -became a veritable griflin of a chaperon, and Killam tried to carry out the purpose indicated in his name by inducing apoplexy in the corpulent Mr. Cattermole who, when sundry packings were removed from the region of the waistcoat, was revealed to the as- tonished gaze of an admiring world as Chuck Challice. Swazey showed evidence of future usefulness by his interpretation of John the servant, whilst Van Hoogenstyn Qthese Hebrew names are most difficult to spelll became for the nonee, Gibson of Bond Street. Crary's conceptions of an English master of hounds was obtained way back in Nor, Dacotem but nevertheless he was successful. Armitage became the much harassed cleric, the Rev. Robert Spald- ing, and the cloth fitted him so well, he had to be forcibly restrained from doing something appropriate in the shape of taking up a col- lection. Hawkes as a writ server said his piece -one line of three words-with dignity and real ability, and also disported himself as property man. Morita wa.s stage manager, and Miss Wliitt' managed him. She is indeed a wondrous woman. Ferris was thc debonair, smiling, good-natured business manager, and, to cut a long story short, the class of 1916 covered itself with glory. Of course there were other dramatic events. The students were divided into chapters and the many social events were helped out by the dramatic expression of the men interested. VVho will ever forget the picture of Cooper, our heavy weight center forward in football, acting the part of Mrs. Bardell's little boy in Bardell v. Pickwicknl Immediately after this book goes to press, the College is to produce Ibsen's Pillars of Society, in connection with the 1915 graduation exercises. Once more Miss White is at the helm and Armitage has been re-elected to serve a second term as chairman, of the Dramatic Club. The fact of the play being produced on the campus will necessitate the building of special scenery and this time Morita proposes to sleep in the cellar until his work is fin- ished. By the way, Morita is of Japanese parentage and hails from Hawaii. His ideas on the subject of the interior of a Nor- wegian house are delightfully vague, but by sleeping with a can 129 1 I of Norwegian sardines under his pillow he hopes to receive a meed of inspiration. Hoskins, '16, wears a worried look at the time this goes to press. He, poor man, has to produce an act from A Nlidsummer Night's Dream on May Day. Somehow he cannot reconcile the seasons, and as the play is to be in the open air, he is frantically try- ing to figure out how to make thc scanty attire of the fairies and other characters Cmidsummer attire at thatj lit into the well known climatic character of Mary Day. The costumes are hardly htted to withstand the draughts occasioned by a blizzard, and in such circumstances, togas, and shimmering wings would be cold comfort. Yes! Dramatics in Springheld College has caused much fluttering in the dove cotes, and the Thespian art has come to stay. if' 0- ' d cz e as W.

FOOTBALL TEAM I 32 l 1 the defeats at the hands of Amherst, Williams, and Holy Cross had been wiped out and again the Aggies had been defeated, and then lastly when the Army, conceded third place in the football world that year, was held to a I4 to 7 score in a closely played game, with- out a word of dissention the title was conferred upon her. 1914 undaunted when confronted by this Herculean task set out with the deep resolve to attain the record, or, this not being possible, at least to equal the best which had preceded. With nine veterans returning, strengthened by some splendid material from the second squad, the outlook was indeed optimistic. Everyone felt that team work would be our strong point in the season's work. ln this they were correct, for never before has Springfield witnessed such a superb exhibition of machine', play. How far this devel- oped is manifested by the extreme dilliculty in picking any glitter- ing satellites. When a man did any particularly good piece of work it was invariably noticed that his work was possible because of the aid he received from his team mates. Some one has said that a football team achieves its greatest success when team work reaches its maximum development. That this is true is evidenced by a review of the season. Disregarding the game with Harvard, whose class we can hardly be expected to be rated in, it is seen the team scored hve points to its opponent's one. Because of this it was the best team ever in spite of the fact that in the number of games won we were one behind last year's record. It has just been said that the success of the ' team was due to its de- velopment of team play, and this alone furnishes palatable food for recol- lection. There were, how- ever, other facts entering into this success which aided in the team making such a formidable record. First, knowing to such a great extent what the per- sonnel ofthe team would be, the manager was able Furs? Goan AGAINST Arrows 133 l ll if . i 5 -, f V 'Zhi . , -, 5-ff ' . Tfin ll- v- 1 w 1' r 9 1...- lffrkllll to plan the schedule in a more definite way. With an attractive schedule the call for candidates was eagerly responded to by a squad of sixty men. Here, in eliminating what did not quite measure up to varsity caliber, was a difficult task for the coaches. For the manner in which they disposed of this task, and also for the way they kept well-oiled the mechanism of the intricate machine they were building, enough credit cannot be given. The part played by the loyal rooters under the very able leadership of cheer leader Heidt must also be reck- oned with. Captain Bell in commenting on the cheering section said The fellows who get behind the team and root are the twelfth man on the team. Probably this explains why only two games have ever been lost on Pratt Field. Finally we gladly give the second team its due. The men on this team, especially the Sen- iors, who daily without any great hope of promotion, stood the bat- tering ofthe first team are to be given the highest Commendation. How thoroughly Dr. MCCL1rdy had instilled the fundamentals of the game into his men was shown by the decisive defeat admin- istered to Worcester Tech. in the hrst game. 39 to 0 does not tell the story of how badly the engineers were outclassed. No less than twenty-nine of our men were given an opportunity in this game. And near the end of the third period a complete new team was sent in. Keyed up with confidence, and yet not over-conhdent, the team backed up by almost every member ofthe student body jour- neyed to Cambridge determined to do or die. Somehow Dame Fortune deserted us completely on this day. Successful forward passes netted us six times more distance than Harvard obtained, in the rushing game we were a good second, in the punting game we were best, we made eleven first downs to I-Iarvard's seven, yet in spite of all this we were beaten 44 to o. There must be a devil FOUNTAIN TTECEIVING 134 in the woodpile somewhere, for in the seven encounters we have had with Harvard four times have they rolled the magic 44 against us. Springfield teams rarely quit and our team was not to be an exception to the rule. The next test was with Holy Cross. In this game Dame Fortune returned to our midst and served us a sweeter morsel than she had for some time. With the questionable victory of 1912, our first defeat on Pratt Field, vividly recalled, we especially wanted to win from our Irish friends. Because we won 25 to o, smiles of satisfaction were profuse after this game. Holy Cross had only one opportunity to score but when this had gone the game became a mere procession. Holy Cross disposed of, we set forth on our journey to Williams- town. -Williams always puts up a hard, clean fight and this game was no exception. Williams was the first to score when, after a fair catch, De Windt sent the ball squarely between the uprights. With only four and one-half minutes to play and the score I3 to 3 in our favor the game seemed to be ours. Much to our dismay, in such an incredibly short space of time that it is only possible to ' 1 h . --I-,er -, '.,.:..:,,, :raw Hs- -- wwe- . -d'si'h 1914 FooT1zALL 'TEAM IN ACTION 135 have a hazy recollection of what actually happened, Williams scored two touchdowns mainly due to the wonderful work of one, Toolan. Fighting with the desperation of a man making his last stand and with only two minutes to play we received the kick-off on our ten-yard line and by a series of battering ram assaults carried the ball to Wil- liams fifteen-yard line only to lose it a moment later when a forward pass was intercepted. Williams punted and the game was over. We retired after our invasion on the short end of a I7 to I3 score. The game which followed Williams, that with Norwich on Pratt Field, was a good practice game for the men. Norwich, brilliant in occasional spots, but woefully weak in team work and general effectiveness, offered no opposition which proved to 'be puzzling. Showing gilt edge form, playing the old style of football with here and there a beautiful forward pass interspersed which almost always fell into a pair of waiting arms, fifty-four points to nil were inllicted on the Vermonters. Following Norwich, once more we attacked a Green Mountain team in that of Middlebury. Although without question it was Springheld's game, yet the blue and white put up a plucky defense and three times held us within their live-yard zone. The strain began to tell in a short time and when the whistle blew the score stood 27 to 7 against our Vermont rivals. A word might be said about the hospitality shown us on this trip. Certainly Micldle- bury did themselves proud and surely our men will not readily forget this phase of the trip. We next approached the crux of the season when we were to meet Amherst, Mass. Aggiesf, and West Point. The Amherst game was hard fought through- out. The purple and white were in the game, Hght- ing to the finish, but we ' were not to be denied. THE Dy1NG AGG1E C0w .r I .QQ - L. 136 Amherst went back home at the short end of the score, 20 to 0. Never since the good old days of 1890 did we administer such a defeat to our friends over the range. Our home season was brought to an end in a blaze of glory. Our traditional rivals, the Aggies,', went down to defeat by a I6 to 3 score in the most thrilling contest of the season, one that was fought tooth and nail, until the last second of play. Quoting the Springfield Republican Springheld struggled to victory against one of the strongest defensive teams it has met in several seasons and a victory against such an aggregation is one that bears double credit. As usual the K'Aggies came down six hundred strong, all prepared to take the ball back with them, and to make our bonhre a huge disappointment, and again for the sixth consecutive time the Ag- gies were the ones disappointed. lt was with light hearts that we gathered around the fire that night and compelled the men to tell us how it had been done. The West Point game was played under the worst of conditions. Like a sea of mud, the condition of the held was fatal to our speedy and open form of play. Each man when he left the held weighed nineteen pounds more than when he went on to it. It was a situa- tion in which weight told and when the game ended the Army had amassed I3 points to our 6. Thus ended the best season ever. The records showed six games won and three lost. VVe scored zoo points to our opponents' 84. After the game the team went to New York City, where they were tendered a banquet by the lVletropolitan Alumni. It was here that George A. Cooper was elected ca.ptain for IQI5. Coop,', we, who have severed our football connections at Old Spring- field, extend our best wishes to you. Instill into your men the determination to play a clean, hard game to the hnish. Not only strive to further increase the record we have for clean- sport but, here and there by word or deed, impress it upon the men your men will line up against, that a man can play hard to the end and still be a gentleman. ln this way your team will be a means toward an end rather than being an end in itself. 137 lFtQ9Tl25L-ll-, f- gwvbpx- fflif j gil ll x X li if 'yy .L I I l, 2, l ' ,, , g ,f ,F ' I , , . m y 'ffm f ff llllilliil f fig ' 7 QM, ,,l f fe ff, ,. fy ' wwf--Yff I -fi... - - --- f ff X '-'lfffbfe W1 lr:i1iiF5E???..5 t -- 32?Eiff5:'1??7H3+ffffgQ , 5 DJ ond team this past year was, without a doubt, the best that has been turned out in the history of the College. lt being the business of the second team to bear the brunt of the varsity's attacks all season and also to make the first team, naturally a de- fensive team is the result. Certain it is that the second team is better coached in defensive play rather than offensive. But in spite of all these difhculties, the second team gave some mighty line exhibitions, both at home and away, last fall. The first game, which was played with Dean Academy, was full of thrilling events from the time the whistle blew at the com- mencement of the game until it blew to end the struggles of the warriors. Then it was found that Dean was the winner only by one touchdown which came very late in the game. This close de- feat, rather than discouraging the players, encouraged them to such fi degree that they were determined to win the next game at all costs. This game was with the VVesleyan Freshmen and here the team did line work, scoring 25 points to their opponents' o. On the following Saturday they journeyed to Amherst to play a so-called second team from the lVlassaehusetts Agricultural Col- lege, but as a matter of fact about half their team were from the Hrst team. Our men were greatly outweighed, but the Aggies had a hard time to win by the small score of 7-o. However the men gave a good account of themselves and were greatly strength- ened for the games to come. The next trip was to Easthampton, VVlNG to the careful work of Coach Berry, the see- 138 l -, use where the team played VVilliston and lost tO the tune of 7-0. The last game of the season was played on Pratt Field with the Connecticut Literary Institution. Besides being the last game for the season this was thc last football game for some of the men here at the College, for some of them were Seniors. The way they tore up and downfthe gridiron was a caution and they succeeded in rolling up 32 points against our opponents, O. The big feature play ofthe year for the second team came in this game when on a special formation, which Coach Berry had been drilling the team for all season, Marvill received the ball and started up the center of the field and, when about to be tackled, turned and made a per- fect lateral pass to Smith who was uncovered and waiting. He then cut loose and alter some of the prettiest blocking that ever took place on Pratt Field, he scored a touchdown. This was really the grand finale, for in a few minutes the linal whistle blew and the football season for the team was a thing of the past. VARSITY SECOND Foorimm, TEAM 139 ,T 2, l i OCC faaagaaggg.

Our weakest point was the full back positions. We had a wealth of material for half back positions, but these were well taken care of by experienced men, so we had to use our half back material at full back. There were a lot of men tried out until the choice Hnally went to the Metcalf brothers, who after the lirst game, worked like veterans giving us a well balanced team. The first game of the season was on our own Held against the Clan Murray team of Springfield. ln point of experience and abil- ity to handle the ball they were much superior to our team, but the splendid physical condition of our men soon began to tell. By our long-passing and rushing style of play, we wore them out until they did not have pep enough to olfer serious resistance. The Hnal score was 6-4 in our favor, which was an encouraging start. The second game was with the fast Clan McLaren team ol' Holyoke. ln places the Held was ankle deep in mud, which wore the players out quickly, but our men stood the pace much better than their opponents and it was only in the last few moments of play that Clan McLaren was able to tie the score and make it 3-3. 140 Harvard succeeded in beating us twice, by one point each time. The two teams were about evenly matched and'Harvard only suc- ceeded in winning the first game which was on our grounds, by a dillicult shot. In the second game, at Cambridge, our team was lighting along with the score I-I with about five minutes to play, when a foul was called inside our penalty area. A penalty kick was awarded Harvard and thus they scored. The game with An- dover was cancelled because their grounds were unfit to play on, so we lost the opportunity to wipe out the defeat of a year ago. To Captain Rudkin, Coach Affleck, and the Second Team, should go the credit for developing such a hne team. Our manager, Babe Wfard, handled his end like a railroad president. He never slipped up in his arrangements and with all his worries of taking care of the team he was always the same old smiling Babe Vansrrv Soecmn TEAM L r .... ill 1 , , .l V i ,A g-,.-5 fi.

At the beginning of the season so many men turned out for soccer that it was a difhcult matter to choose a team. How- ever, after Coach Affleck had selected the men for the first team, there were so many good men left that it was decided to try and work up a schedule for a second team. Manager- Ward of the Firsts did some good work on this schedule until S. L. Metcalf' was elected manager of the second team. He was later elected to a position on the Hrst team and E. C. Cameron followed him as manager and Hnished the season. There were seven games played and Springfield Seconds came out on top in all games. The first game played was with the Spring- field High, who were defeated I-O. The next game on the schedule was Suffield. lt was on the trip that the election of captain and manager for the team took place. J. Bain was elected captain and S. L. Metcalf manager. Of course it was necessary to celebrate the election of these men with a victory, so we took Suflield into camp, 3-o. We next traveled to Wilbrzmham Academy. This was the hardest game of the season, but we were successful, 3-2. The Chicopee Reserves had challenged us to a game so that was the next territory we invaded. Under favorable conditions, especially for our goal tender, We defeated them, 5-0. Earlier in the season Wil- liston Academy had wished to play our varsity, but later they de- cided to try the Seconds first and then if successful to try the I42 l i varsity. Their hopes for a game with the varsity were rudely shat- tered, as we beat them 2-o. Sullield team thought that perhaps they could do better if they played us on our own ground, so a return game was arranged. They brought a regular Sahara sand storm along with them to throw dust in our eyes, but all in vain, as they again went down to defeat, 2-o. The last game of the season was with Wilbraham. Coach Haskins thought that if we went up there for the second time that his team could defeat us. VVC were sorry to disappoint him, but it was impossible for us to spoil our season's record with a defeat, so we beat them 5-2. The Physical Faculty decided to recognize the work of the Second team by giving them one defensive credit. The following were the men who made the defensive credit: J. Bain, E. C. Cameron, I-I. L. Carroll, F. W. Moses, G. L. Gray, J. C. Reid, F. Thomas, W. C. Swayze, F. B. Wilson, R. C. Yeoman, I. E. Brown, H. W. Burdick, E. W. lVlcCall.

It was a diflieult task to 9, 5 choose the all-round men to Hll the vacancies left by '7' Xi' those who graduated, but the linal choice allotted the positions to Nlessrs. Peterson, Globisch, Nlackey, Roberts, and Middagh. M1'. Dahlgren did admirable work as pianist and belore the season had ended he disclosed his ability as a gymnast by join- ing the team in an eleven shoulder stand pyramid on the parallels. He always received a hearty applause as he dexterously mounted the apparatus and skillfully swung into his balance position. ln the past three years there had only been two vacancies to till, but this year the five vacancies made the work somewhat more diflicult. With the veterans, Captain I-leidt, Nlanager Laun, Es- bjornson, Brasaemle, and Raymond the team was complete. Cap- tain Elmer Heidt had arranged a pleasing program of dances and drills with various other numbers, and the men worked hard to get the desired effect. The gymnastic team has certain requirements to demand of the individual who succeeds in making it. He must be an all-round man, must be able to perform on all apparatus and take part in all the dances and drills. Thus a good gymnast does not always make the team if he lacks the ability to danceg even his personality must be considered in making the team. Springfield can well boast of her gymnastic team, for it is rec- ognized as one of the best college gymnastic teams in the country. 144 These ten versatile performers dressed in their neat blue trousers with white stripes down the side and white jersey with a maroon emblem tastefully attached, give a varied and pleasing program. The school can be proud of this team for many reasons, for it is a wonderful asset to the College as an advertising factor, and in visit- ing the various cities the members of the team come into close toueh with the men in the work and so make many friends for the GYMNABTIC TEAM 145 I I I . school. The aim of the team is to present the values and benefits of physical education and wherever they go they carry the message of the Christian physical directorship as a profession. To do its best work a team must have a good schedule, with interesting trips and good, appreciative, and enthusiastic audiences. This year Manager Laun did not try to compete with figures of the previous years. His purpose was to have a shorter schedule than before and instead to bring the team to first-class cities where crit- ical and experienced audiences could judge its work. It is fair to say that with the splendid program as arranged by Captain I-leidt this purpose was carried out and all the largest asso- ciations visited claimed the work of the team as the best ever ex- hibited on their floors. Inspired by the compliments of the asso- ciations visited, the members worked earnestly until team work was like clock work. Team work rather than individual work has al- ways been the slogan of the team. ln spite of the cry of financial distress that sounded throughout the country there was little indication that this report was true, judging by the size of the audiences that filled the different gymna- sia. After presenting each emblem man with a sweater and a framed picture of the team, manager Laun turned back to the Student Asso- ciation his entire appropriation of 3575.00 together with a larger net gain than had any previous manager. Let it be said at this time that it is not the purpose of the team to make money, and most of the proht was obtained through the home exhibition. A short resume of the team trips: The schedule informally opened on December 4th, at the Boy's Club in Springheld. Decem- ber Ilth, the team exhibited at the Holyoke Association. The following night they appeared on the gym floor of the Connecticut Literary Institute at Suffield. Christmas holidays soon passed and the first trip was to Wilbraham Aca- demy. Cn January 15th, the team left for Gloucester to give their first big ex- hibition. The Glouccsterites were glad to see the team again. They all A HUMAN FAN recognized the Sailor's I-lornpipef' 146 V I f steps in the Dance Medley number. The following night the team gained the first big victory on the immense floor of the Boston Asso- ciation. Many who saw the work last year were there with smiling faces, and Dr. Skartom of Wellesley College, knowing that our boys enjoyed showing off before the girls, chaperoned sixty maidens from that notable school. There were also girls present from Sargent and Posse Normal Schools. Members of the Har- vard Cym Team were present. The team worked in mid-season form and many compliments were bestowed upon them by experts and good judges of gymnastics. Heralcled as the highest class gymnastic team our gymnastic eleven appeared on the floor of the 86th Street Association in New York City and made good their reputation. This success was re- peated at Bedford Branch, Brooklyn, the following night. Bedford is a firm believer in heavy gymnastics and our work favorably im- pressed them. January 29th was a memorable night, for at Provi- dence the team were treated royally. Performing before a packed house the men did admirable work. The next morning an auto trip around the city was given to the members. Messers Line, Taylor, Clark, Fryer, Cubbon, and Hawkins, all grads ofour College, did the entertaining. Degroat and Curtis welcomed the team to Attle- boro the following night. Owing to an injured hand, Manager Laun could not accompany the team on the Newburgh-Poughkeepsie trip. Mr. A. Anderson fulfilled the va.eancy and also aided Mr. Heidt in missing the train to Springfield. At Poughkeepsie, Smith's Restaurant was the place where all the members flocked - there was a reason. A campaign to promote interest in physical training was held in Portland, Me., on February I2-I3, and the team gave three exhibitions as a special attraction at the association. February 2'2d, the date of the home exhibition was no exception to the past. The gymnasium was crowded with friends of the team and of the College, and every one was delighted with the program. The special number of high vaulting seemed to be a source of amusement and thrills to the onlookers. A three day trip to Albany, Gloversville, and Amsterdam officially closed the season's schedule. On this trip Mr. R. A. Esbjornson as captain and Mr. R. E. Peterson as manager were elected to lead the team of 1915-16. 147 l f J ff '-lil ' Q R - utr wil l alike i 1 ' I l - Nl f f l Wi l l . l ll- ix kl QW J llj 'xlll p W 2' 'ff eff? I f ill 'lla lllllflillll 1 T the close of Springlield's fourth year of intercollegiate basket ball, it is evident that our team is in a class with the largest colleges in the east. At the end ol the football season, Coach Johnson issued a call for candidates and a squad of forty men or more re- sponded. Only two members of last year's team remained, which fact gave the varsity aspirants an assurance of a Hne opportunity for making the team and competition was keen. The fact that only two emblem men remained, presented a very diflicult but interesting problem for Coach Johnson. However, a fast, scrappy team was soon rounded into shape ready for the season's battles. It was evident from the beginning of the season that Captain Whalen and VValter Bell, varsity men of last year, were in their old form and much credit must be given these men for their line work during the season. Our schedule this year was the stilfcst we have ever had here at Springfield, and as a result we lost more games than were won. The season opened with a game with the Dart- mouth aggregation at Hanover, N. H., on December 12th, where we were defeated, I9-16. The team work was a little ragged but Very good for the first game. Our next game was with our old rival, Williains College at VVilliamstown, Mass., on January 16th, whom we defeated, 30-ZQ. Our boys had improved wonderfully in team work since the former game. On January 29th, we took a trip to Troy, N. Y., where we met R. P. I. and were defeated, 45-37. Our Hrst home game was with Colgate on January goth. We were weaker thisgame than at any time during the season owing to the fact that 148 li . l l two of our men were in a crippled condition. When the final Whistle blew, the score was 35-IQ, in favor of Colgate. On February 6th, we met the fast Union bunch at Schenectady, N. Y., and although our boys played a splendid game, we went down to defeat to a score of 41-18. We had the pleasure of meeting Amherst College at Amherst, Mass., on February 12th. Our boys played wonderful ball, and as the result we came home with the long end of the score, 36-21. Our second home game was with Princeton on our home floor on the evening of February 16th. Our boys were beaten, but they deserved much credit for the Gghting spirit which was manifested throughout the game. The score was 28-20. On February 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th, our team took an interest- ing trip into Northern and Western New York, where we met Colgate, Watertown Y. M. C. A., Clarkson, and St. Lawrence. Colgate again proved to bc too strong for us and defeated us to the tune of Bixsxm' BALL TEAM 149 t ,L . , - 1 7 , .I U s 1-rapt I ., .l 'Q 1 i f -.f'3:'1' n -.. . - .,, sul-1' l -' ' 1 ' l .gp r. jr..

A. was an easy game for us and several of the substitutes were used in order that the regulars might rest up for the game with Clarkson the following night. Here we had an opportunity of playing against our old friend Butch Herkimer. Had it not been for his excellent work, the score would have been much higher than 46-32. Clarkson won in a rough-and-tumble game, 37-19. The St. Lawrence game was one of the most spectac- ular games ofthe season. St. Lawrence kept the lead up until the last few minutes of play when our men took a brace and nosed out with the big end of the score, 27-24. Our last home game was with New Hampshire State College on February 26th, whom we easily defeated, 49-37. On the 2'7tl1 of February our men visited Syracuse, where we met Syracuse Uni- versity that evening. Although they had not been defeated on their own floor for four years, our men had them worried for a time. How- ever during the last part of the game, we were badly outplayed. Score, 38-19. The return game with N. H. S. was played on March 6th, at Durham, N. H. This was also our last basket ball game of the season and our boys played a great game. We returned with the bacon, 37-32. The first team was not picked until late and then Walter Bell was appointed coach of the second team. The lirst game was played with Springfield High, as a preliminary to the Princeton game and we were defeated to the tune of 22-12. The Williston game brought us another defeat, which strengthened the team for the next game. The game with St. Paul's Church team was an easy one and every man had a chance to play. Score, 27-21. We then journeyed to Ashburnham, where we played the strong Cush- ing Academy team, and were defeated by the score of I9-13. The last game of the season with C. L. I. was the fastest one of the year, a11d we won, 25-24. The credit of moulding the team into shape and producing the best in the men is due to our coach, Professor Johnson. Especially are his patience, knowledge of the game, and amiable disposition highly commendable. Our captain, Dotty Whalen proved him- self worthy of his position. He was the man who put the pep into the entire aggregation, besides playing a hard game himself. Much credit is also due Manager Williams for the ability he has shown in handling the team. 150 fioeke r I ,. Y C 1 E, 2 5 ' A 'l 'iw l-I QT! I ' .e i ,X f.

This winter the boards were placed on Lake Massasoit and con- sequently we had ice most of the cold season with considerable moisture to lubricate the Wings. The schedule included hve out of town games: lVIass. Aggies, West Point, Williams, Columbia, and Rensselaer, and the three home games, Mass. Aggies, Mass. Institute of Technology, and Worcester Polytechnic. The poor ice conditions interfered with the possibilities of playing either M. A. C. or M. I. T. at home or Columbia in New York. Last .Iune saw three forwards and one defense man of the 1914 hockey team graduate and consequently when the call went forth this year a large squad turned out and fought hard throughout the season for positions. Competition being so keen stimulated the best endeavors of all and must surely be the reason for the showing made. West Point has defeated our College in several successive seasons on the football gridiron. The hockey team visited them and turned the tables in its lirst game ofthe season by the score of 2-0. It was a closely contested game. The second game against Mass. Aggies', at Amherst was a surprise. After the Aggies defeated the team 2-o in Springfield and 5-o in Amherst last year it was not expected that the team could make more than a favorable showing. In the first ten minutes of lay the Aggies caged four scores and then the tide turned and gpringlield held its own honorably and left the ice cheerfully after scoring three clean shots and peppering the Aggies defense with all thevarietiesof hotshotsinvented.

I. was a comedy for the College, when Springfield's second team was put on the ice to keep the score down. Result, 7-0. The annual friendly game at Williamstown against the fast Williams seven was very keenly contested and ended 2-I in their favor. Springheld got the first score and later Williams tied. A couple of minutes before the close of the game the winning score was caged. The hnal game was played at Troy against the Rensselaer hockey team and proved another clean victory on very soft ice. Score, 3-0. Besides these games the second team made a creditable showing when it defeated the fast Amherst High School seven by the score, 4-2. Prof. G. B. Affleck has rendered valuable service to the team in the capacity of coach and all the men offer their thanks for his Work and interest. He rightfully deserves a due share of the credit attained this year. v Hocicmr TEAM I 52 52 . s .1 If X g f: fl . ' ..

I I , QUATICS this year, have received a strong impetus GD Q3 through the interest taken in the sport by the students Mi A who are swimmers, and by the scheduling of four ig! meets with well known schools and colleges in. New Q England. The interest is bound to increase next MQIR 7 K year, as the team did very well considering this was the lirst year that swimming has taken an important place among the College sports. This year Mr. Schopper was elected manager of the varsity swimming team, while a little later Mr. Evans was elected to the eaptaincy. The manager started in on his schedule, but encountered some dilliculty in regard to the A. A. U. eligibility rules. This matter was referred to Coach Affleck, but he received little satis- faction from the National Organization, so we consequently had to cancel a dual-meet with Amherst. Williams College and Harvard University on the other hand were willing to meet us. Finally an appropriation of 3550.00 was received and the following meets were put on our calendar: - VVorcester Academy, Cambridge Y. M. C. A., Andover Academy, and Harvard University. VVilliams could not compete with us because her team was disbanded for lack of water in Williamstown. The first contest of the season was held at Worcester with the Academy. The meet was hotly contested, first one side being ahead and then the other, but the relay left the final score in favor of Worcester, 36-26. The outstanding features of the events were Captain Evan's hard sprint in the relay, the hne exhibition of diving 153 by Jouannet, the three sixty-foot plunges by Kruidenier which broke the tank record, and the plucky race by Thorne. Two weeks later we journeyed to Boston to test our strength with the Cambridge Y. M. C. A. Here again we met an honorable defeat. One ofthe competing men was last year's captain ofthe Prince- ton varsity and he gave a fine exhibition of swimming. Kruidenier was defeated in the plunge by a second or two in the time to go the sixty feet under water but he made the Cambridge man exceed his former performances to do it. .louannet as usual won the diving. Evans, Brown, and Veith also showed to advantage. , The next day at Andover we had the pleasure as well as the mis- fortune to see Andover carry away four different meets in one after- noon: Traek, gym, wrestling, and swimming. The spectacular events were the hfty-yard swim, the diving, and the plunge. Evans won Hrst place in the fifty-yard dash, while second place was a tie between Bradley and Tilton of Andover. .Iouannet and Kruidenier showed their usual form in diving and plunging. The following week at Harvard we were again defeated. We won hrst place in the dives, but our plunger was not up to his usual form. We have a bright future before us in this branch of sport, for the interest is sure to grow and be- T come more intense with each succeed- ing year. Con- sidering the teams we have competed with, and the fact that this was our first season, we feel that we have given a fair showing, and hope that better things will be forthcoming in fu- ture years. AQUATIC TEAM 154 iiirfi1 XT --ef 0 igi ii Felt. gl Y i t wa 522 f' ff'fff'f -nf iffy RESTLINC1, as an intercollegiate sport, was inaug- urated at Springfield College this year. Our first home meet came on March 6th with the strong M. l. T. team. For several years they have held the New England championship, defeating last year Cornell, the intercollegiate champions, and coming to Springfield with a record of twenty-one consecutive victories. Before a very enthusiastic audience of students and devotees of the game the champions went down to defeat. The first bout was between Loo of Technology and Bounds of Springfield. Loo came here as an undefeated champion and won the bout by decision at the end of nine minutes. Dowling started off with a rush in his bout and kept his opponent on the defensive, winning a. decision in nine minutes. Fifteen minutes were required to settle the merits of the next contest, in the 145 pound class, the decision finally going to M. l. T. The next bout brought the crowd to their feet. It was a regular whirlwind. There was a flash of arms and legs and Captain Banks appeared on top, his opponent's shoulders tightly pinned to the mat. Cooper followed in the wind- up and the way he slammed about the big captain of Technology brought wild cheers from the spectators. The final score was Springfield 17, Technology 8. This, the first home meet, proved a very fitting introduction of wrestling into the realm of our varsity sports and gave full assurance that enthusiastic support would not be lacking. Our only other meet this year was with the Tiger team at Princeton. This really was our Hrst contest. lnexperienee and 155 the effects of the long ride aided in our undoing, although the Prince- ton team was not weak by any means, several of its members having made places in the intercollegiate championships the year before. Although they won 22-4, the meet was not so one-sided as the score would seem to indicate. The Daily Princelonian on the morning following the meet stated that the Springfield team was the strong- est Princeton had met during the year. Had our schedule been more extensive there is no doubt the team would have been able to develop more rapidly and to estab- lish an even more enviable record. Early in the fall of IQI4 a ten- tative schedule of nine meets had been arranged with the best col- lege teams in the east, namely: Cornell, Penn. State, Princeton, Mass. lnst. of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, West Point, Yale, Tufts, and Lafayette. Through various unforeseen and un- avoidable circumstances such as injuries, conllict of dates, and Hnances, our actual playing schedule was reduced to two meets. The team was fortunate in having good coaching, which helped in a large measure to overcome the handicap of inexperience. Mr. Louis C. Schroeder of the Faculty and Captain Al. Banks gave the candidates the value of their long experience in the grappling game and developed from comparative- ly raw materi- al a squad of fast heady wrest- lers, from whom should come next year a team of high caliber. This year to seven men was awarded the covet- ed privilege of W caring the ..........

This has been due largely to the enthusiasm of Professor Berry, who has always been a booster for this particular sport. The coach this year is a French maitre d'armes, M. Andraud, who is a graduate of the French Military Academy, Joinville-le- Pont, and who has had much experience as coach of college teams. About twenty-live men turned out for practice at the opening of the season. Nlost of them were lacking in a knowledge ofthe tech- nique of fencing. As Captain Bird was the only veteran, there was plenty of opportunity for the new men to show how much latent ability they possessed. The team that was hnally chosen was as follows: Captain Bird, '16, Zinn, '16, Rowley, '17, and Fowler, ' 16, manager. , ' The lirst match of the season, January 15, 1915, with the City Fencers, Club, revealed our weak points, although we lost to the visitors only by 5-4. The next week, January 23Cl, Yale defeated us on our own floor by 5-2. Their victory was due to aggressive- ness rather than to superior form or skill. On February 6th we went to New York to compete for the Manrique Junior Foil Trophy. We were defeated by the New York lVlilitary Academy in the pre- liminarics by a score of 5-4. It was a line opportunity for the team to see the different methods of fencing and to meet some of the representative fcnccrs of the east. On February 12th we went to Cambridge hoping to wipe out past records. Three or four of the bouts were draws and had to E interest in fencing this year has been greater 157 1 '- iw, .i . 1, - , 1 grfi Milf -- , , --.gh in- ,i 'l24lta'f.a.-.W.. .. ill be fought off in over-time periods. The Hnal score was 6-3 in favor of Harvard. The Bowdoin trip was one of the most enjoyable and prohtable of the season. They were hoping to wipe out last year's defeat, but we were in tip-top condition and won, 5-4. Then we had the privilege of crossing foils with a team representing the Pianelli Fencing Club of Augusta, Me. These men had acted as ofhcials for the previous meet. We won the match, 5-4. ln these two matches Captain Bird covered him- self with glory by winning all six of his bouts. The last meet of the season with the City Fencers' Club re- sulted in avictory for us, 6-3. The Blaisdell Trophy meet between Springfield, Yale, and Williams was not held because of the with- drawal of Williams from fencing circles. It is prob- able that Harvard will take the place of Williams next season. The prospects for next year are very bright, as no men will be lost by graduation and there are many good men who are taking fencing this year. FENCING TEALI SCHEDULE FOR IQI5 S. Opps. Jan.

This really meant a great deal, as Amherst had just returned from mak- ing a southern trip, during which time they played 4' nine games, and consequently they were in mid- Season form. Un the contrary it was the first game for our fellows, but both sides gave a good exhibition of the national sport. The following week the team went to Manchester, N. H., there defeating St. Anselm's College, 6-2. On the following day we were set back by the Phillips-Exeter Academy team at Exeter, N. H., by their boys scoring eight runs to our goose-egg. May Ist brought Syracuse University to Springlield and this game was one of the best ever seen on the College diamond up to date. Eddy pitched for Springheld and his work was of big league caliber. To end the game rightly, Richardson, the star out-fielder, made a sensational catch of a most dillieult Texas Leaguer hit by Captain Seymour, the heavy hitter for the Syracuse team. The score at the end of the game stood 5-4 in favor of Springheld and the four runs of Syracuse came all in the ninth inning. On May 6th our team went to Amherst and there met the strong Mass. Agricultural College nine. Here our team was out- played and we were defeated 9-2. On May 15th Seton Hall College came here from South Orange, N. J., and were taken into camp to the tune of 7-el.. Peterson's superior pitching was what turned the trick lor Springfield, although it was backed up by some good Gelding 159 .P x I CQ, ' i wi ,.' nw, . ' ' 14-I Jjr, ff- E and hitting by our men. The next day, May 16th, Worcester Academy sent their strong team here and defeated us on our own grounds, 4-0. On Monday, May 18th, our old rivals came down from the Mass. Agricultural College and fairly wiped up the ground with our boys, for in spite of all our team could do the Aggies went home with a I4-O victory. On May 23d Wesleyan University came here for a game and found what they were looking for. Eddy was again the stellar performer. His work in the box was exceedingly clever for he did not allow one hit to be made by the Wesleyan boys, and only through some slight errors on the part of his team-mates, was Wesleyan able to secure one run to the two that we copped. On Wednesday, May 29th, the team started its New York trip by playing Trinity in Hartford and losing 5-3. The following day our team, defeated St. .lohn's College in Brooklyn, 8-3. We then went to Clinton, 1914 BASEBA Lx. TEA M 160 ' 551- .s v Q' l E. .1 -A . . 'T Q i-1553 Ki' xi Milf ldfjrr 4 P-F. rf E, f il l 3 A l .

The last game of the trip was with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and our boys lost, 6-3. However, it must be remembered that our team had been doing a good bit of traveling and the men were almost tired out. , The last game of the season was played in Middletown, Conn., against Wesleyan University who, still stinging from the defeat we handed them earlier in the season, went to work with all their might and main to make a name for themselves, but it was not until the last half of the ninth inning that they were able to send across the necessary run, thus closing the game 6-5 in their favor. Thus the season closed for our team and we surely feel that gradually base- ball will come into its due here at Springfield College. All of the men on the team deserve a lot of credit for their fine work. Coach .lohnson also deserves praise for his work with the men. Manager Aguirre should be highly commended for the abil- ity he showed in arranging the schedule and other matters relating to the welfare of the team. The following men made their emblem: Captain Wiclt, Captain-elect Fountain, Sexton, Bunker, Schabinger, Whalen, Diehl, Peterson, Eddy, Townley, Stine, Campbell, Engle, Nelson, Richardson, and Manager Aguirre. Last fall brought back to us eleven of the varsity men and also some new men who are good baseball players. Among these was Kingman, a graduate of Pomona College, Claremont, California, who played last season with the New York Americans. He is not only a line first baseman but he has gained quite a considerable amount of attention from his work in the box and his southpaw arm is expected to be of great aid to the team. He will he with us during the lirst few games before going to the Yankees in May. Ziclminski and Kindle, both from the Southern League, and J. F. H0111 the xfvestf SETON HALL GAME-DR.

Owing to the fact that Springheld aims to train men to coach all departments of athletics and in so much as baseball is one of the recognized leading sports played, it is very evident that having a good college baseball team will serve a double purpose for our men. It will not only train especially those men who are fortunate in making the team, but the seeing of good college baseball, and the general instruction which is bound to come as a result, will be of great value to our men. It is the national game and for this reason if for no other, we should take a great interest in it and there is no doubt but that in the future Springfield College will be able to give this city as good a brand of baseball as could be found anywhere around here. One great need of our College is a baseball held separate from Pratt Field. This is keenly felt, both by the Faculty and students, because on the field where football is played, it is impossible to have a clay diamond, either in one corner or on half of the field. Pratt Field, while a fine place for football, track, and tennis, is not suit- able for baseball, as the diamond now necessarily is only sand, which very materially slows up the game. We look forward to the time. when there will be put on South Field a hrst-class clay dia- mond and the field enclosed, thereby making it possible to have a better baseball field and at the same time to be in a position to collect the gate receipts. Coach Elmer Berry has had the squad playing ball since school resumed after the Xmas vacation. This is somewhat accounted for as the team planned to take a southern training trip coming after the Senior trip, but this project was abandoned, as it was not possible to hnance the proposition. Even after it was announced that the southern trip would be impossible, the men still remained loyal, and continued to report and attempted in every way to be- come more efficient in the game. A great deal of inside baseball was taught the men during the winter and it proved to be of great advantage, as the men immediately showed the results of their labors as soon as they came out of doors. We look forward to the best year yet in baseball here at the College this spring. 162 it . Q A V ' ' 1 C -W l1 ' , pf -::: ff W W' f A 1 lr- W , S Q ' X - will .

AWN tennis has now acquired world-wide attention 'i T and its international popularity is, in fact, hardly 1 ' the appearance ol the Davis Cup, the symbol of international supremacy, in IQOO, interest in tennis has increased all over the world. It is, in- deed, popularized even in the heart of the Dark Continent, and in the villages ol the land of mystery in the Orient. The increasing interest in tennis among our college students in the past few years is very encouraging. The men here are now coming to realize that the neglect of tennis is certainly a great dis- advantage in their college life. A number of splendid courts on Pratt Field and on South Field are always kept in a good condition. The varsity team for the spring of 1914 was out for practice early in April. I-lard work-outs were given by our energetic coach, Professor Cheney. The schedule for the season was an interesting one and none of the previous teams ever experienced such an advantageous year. Though it was not in any sense an exceptionally successful season, the players fought with their usual zeal and enthusiasm. Springfield won from Conn. Aggies,,' Holy Cross, and two matches from Mass. Aggies, tied with Holy Cross, and lost to Wesleyzxli, Brown, and Dartmouth. Emblems were awarded to the following men for their good work: C. E.

With the one hundred and eighty-Hve physical men daily engaged in some form of physical activity, and the one hundred secretarial men engaged for three days a week, comes a unique situation. During the entire college year, the physical men are daily occupied in some branch ol physical education. It is necessary that these men receive individual practical instruc- tion in the various helds of physical education. Men are not only trained to become good lloor leaders, but they must also be authorities in the great sports which have such a Hrm hold on the American people. So with the demand put upon our graduates, that they have an intimate and exact knowl- edge of nearly every branch of physical education, there must neces- sarily be a large corps of instructors who are personally skillful in the teaching of some phase of this work. Hence the need of this department of student instructors. This corps of instructors comes under the direct supervision of members of the physical faculty Who, themselves, are experts in the sports they supervise. lt is planned that each student instructor shall have charge of six to ten men, it depending on the class and the physical activity he is teaching. The somewhat long outdoor season in the fall, where consid- erable time is spent in learning the games of Rugby and Soccer football, demands teachers who have a thorough knowledge of these older- lx X C275 i-,Fla 166 '.- ., --2.5 .- ,I N -,L-W .jg A ' ix- i v Q.ag,'.rs.',.r-.':f -ar-f'JQ N1: -4:-' ..f gr-afar ..,- f -f1v..u-ffJ.yr .- Q.-'21 ,934 .Q - '.'

VVith the advent of the indoor season, comes the employment of the largest number of stu- dent instructors. It is then that the most physical activities take place. The Freshman class with its enrollment of over one hun- dred men calls for a group of ten instructors. It has been the cus- tom to choose men from the Junior class to teach in the Freshman class. Whenever necessary, the balance of teachers are made up ol Seniors. The student instructors in the Junior class number six, and in the Senior class, four. The secretarial gymnasium classes have also student instructors. Every group of student instructors engaged in the various activities meets weekly with the physical faculty supervisor. Ways and means are presented whereby the work can prove to be more ellicient. Not only are matters brought up dealing with the work from a technical standpoint, but considerable time is devoted whereby the personal problems concerning the lives of the stu- dents, matters pertaining to their religious lives and their scholar- ship arc discussed. The objective of the student instruetorship department is that they not only be leaders from a physical stand- point, but also from a religious one. Aside from the practical nature which the position demands, the student tutors have excel- lent opportunities for doing dehnite religious work of a very posi- tive character. Realizing the importance of the latter, it behooves every instructor to live the life which keeps him at his best. SYVXMMING INSTRUCTORS 167 . F V t I . - . - J'----.. .
