Hyde whose joy of living and true manliness has been our inspiration Professor Frederick Smith Hyde A Biographical Sketch Born in Lyme, Conn., in 1867. Boyhood. His parents moved to Bergen Point, N. J., where he attended the common schools till he was ready to prepare for college. Prepared for College. He was fitted for college by Dr. L. F. Burr of Lyme, Conn., who had previously fitted his own son, Professor Burr of the college, in the same way. College. He entered Amherst College in 1884 and graduated in 1888. Very early in his college course he made the Glee Club and was its director during his junior and senior years. Teacher in Beirut College, Syria. After graduating, he went as a teacher of English to the Syrian Protestant College, where he stayed for four years. During his vacations he made trips to Palestine and Egypt. It was on one of these trips that he met Miss Matilda Strang, who later became his wife. Theological Seminary. On his return to America he went to Union Theological Seminary. On his graduation he accepted a call to the Congrega- tional Church in Groton, Conn. During his pastorate and under his inspiration the church built one of the most artistic and satisfy- ing country churches in New England. Under his direction the church became locally famous lor its music. It was then that he began to compose sacred music and hymns. His Christmas Cantata is best known. Springfield College. He was called to the department of English and music at the College in 1607. Since he has been in the College he has not merely taught English, and trained the College musical clubs, but has written a number ol college songs and hymns, an opera called “The Burning of Springfield,” and several operettas. Professor Hyde’s passion for music developed very early. His cousin, Pro- fessor Burr, recalls that as a boy he would practice for hours on an ancient piano in an unheated room in winter, warmed only by his own enthusiasm. Professor Hyde is not merely an accomplished musician and composer, but a profound student of the history and theory of music and an unusually efficient and inspiring director. 8 RAT 9 1(1 THE FACULTY DOGGETT, 1 1 LAURENCE L.

Professor Louis G. Schroeder It was with a feeling of mingled pride and regret that the student body learned of the resignation of Professor Schroeder from our faculty in order that he could assume a very responsible position on the staff of the trench Government physical education officials. “Prof.” Schroeder graduated from our Alma Mater in Pd 2 alter having made an enviable reputation for himself as an all-around athlete here, making his “S” in football, fencing, hockey, and gymnastics. His unusual ability was recognized bv the ( ollege and in 1913 he was given a seat on the physical faculty, which position he has admirably filled until called to a higher position. In 1918 Professor Schroeder obtained a leave of absence in order to plav his part in the bigger game with Uncle Sam, and was appointed a First Lieutenant in Avia- tion, stationed at Mineola, L. I. With his characteristic thoroughness and effici- (i()OI)-B L, ' TROI . ency, he put over a fine piece of work as senior athletic officer of the camp. hen the plans- tor the great Inter-Allied games had been settled, the French ( lovernment looked for a man to take charge of training the French soldiers. I rofessor Schroeder w as called and placed in absolute power, and so well did he accomplish his task that the representatives of France came second to our own boys, lbs success was recognized by 1 the French and continuous efforts have been made to induce him to take a permanent position on the physical education bureau. However, the call of Old Springfield and the I . S. A. was too strong tii be denied and he returned home to spend tour months with us. The wonder- lul opportunity of creative effort which the position offered could not lie gain- sa id and Prof, decided to put his services towards build ing up the physical education system of France. His sympathy and helpfulness as a friend and teacher will linger long in our hearts and we all wish for him every success in his new field of endeavor. An revoir, but not good-bye, Professor. 2(1 Instructors Library Methods Miss Georgiana Carr, B.A. Association Bookkeeping G. T. SCHWENNING English G. T. SCHWENNING A. T. Noren S. K. Munson S. J.

Clarfce Born, September 26, 1894 Died, February 13, 1920 In Death a Hew As in Life a Friend History of the Class of 1920 On June 12 the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty passes from the por- tals of Old Springfield. The appeal of romance tempts us to contemplate the future careers of these men. What is to be their share in the world’s work? Where will they be in twenty-five years? But it is not our privilege to look forward. We are to look at the past, and perhaps there we may glean a sugges- tion as to what the future will be. In September, 1916, ninety odd men took the oath of allegiance to King Massasoit and the ideals which he personifies. At the impressive ceremony of the formal initiation, the desire in every man ' s heart was that he might live out these ideals. We looked forward to four years of college life in which studies, games, and school activities filled the horizon. We could not see beyond that horizon to where the clouds of war were gathering. And little did we dream of the part our class was to play in the storm so soon to break. Time went on. We won the class championship in football, basketball, indoor-track, gym., and swimming. We helped remove the hill behind the presi- dent’s house. We worked for normal credits, taught Sunday school, and cut chapel much the same as any other Freshman class. And all the time the war was coming nearer and nearer, until with the spring of 1917 came America’s entrance and the departure of men from all classes to join the forces. Perhaps those months of the spring and summer of that year were the most trying for the college men o f the nation. On the one hand was the desire deep in the con- sciousness of every man to fight for his home and loved ones. On the other hand the leaders of the nation were telling the men to stay in college and prepare themselves for the position of leadership which the greater need would call them to. Every man had to face the decision; some chose one, some the other course. The fall of 1917 found the roll of the class decreased to thirty. Pershing had reached France in August and even now Americans were taking their places in the trenches. hat was the effect on those at home? More and more answered the call and volunteered or were drafted. But Springfield struggled to keep its unity and spirit. The W ar Work Courses and Diet Squad were big features in that year. This Sophomore year gave 1920 more class championships. That spring, however, really marked the end of the class under the old regime, for during the summer nearly every man joined in the work of the war in some way. With the next school year came the S. A. T. C. And the Old Springfield came very near being washed away by the experiences of that fall term. But the armistice in November and the return of some of the old men in January brought back new hope. As rapidly as they were released from the service the sons of Old Springfield came back. And how glad we were to take up the task of rebuilding the college spirit and bringing back the lost atmosphere. Uniforms of all countries and all ranks dotted the campus, and hard it was for these men to settle down to the work of the class room. Canoeing, walking, and movies appealed much more to us all than class rooms and lectures. But there was enough of class spirit to produce championship teams. Then came the Senior year. A new class formed in the fall of 1919. Men who had been overseas, and so detained from joining their own classes, came to finish their work. Some of these men did not know the members of the class they were joining. There were men from the classes from 1909 to 1921. This made it difficult to get class unity and perhaps this class has failed in this re- spect. But we have worked together sufficiently to see that we have helped in the making of the new Springfield. Tradition and customs have been revived. New ideas and institutions have been inaugurated. And it is no mean bit of glory to have been champions of soccer and gymnastics. And so we have seen the beginnings of a new college. The human soul grows through strife. So in the evolution of a college a world war has its effect. No one doubts that the new Springfield will be finer than the old. So, as we contemplate the pull of the strings of Fate on June 12, we feel that we are going to show Springfield our appreciation for what she has given us. We are going out realizing that our greatest work for the Alma Mater lies before us. And as we felt at the formal initiation all we could do would be to the honor of Massasoit, so now the desire in the heart of each of us is that our work and our lives express the best that he has given us; and that in spite of doubt and uncertainty and war we are worthy to be called Sons of Springfield. “TED” WEBER “1920” Class Baby 29 CASrM IfiWOi l au rents, cm£s aw jm lfs t It C I tVXTURC jmrtGFILLl) JP ff T int t so k 1 HE MM hr ' - = SO m WEN C J S T OQTRALl A6 iff cap Jf C AJft ' r WHAf SttC Ui£0 TCR BE “ A6UC$M£ - OUR FAVOR MCO on 60R )!AL CfiAMATfZ TOR TOSJOR Al 4 ft ILL at trie borrow or r 31 THEODORE R.

On looking around we beheld forty-eight of ourselves, all attempting to act natural in un- natural circumstances, but, alas, too green to hide the color of the new-born class of 1921. Friendly greetings by the old men put us at ease until that since well-known command came, issued early each fall to the Freshmen, “Build ye paddles of con- venient size. This we did and after that memorable occasion, when in the dark- ness we were urged on by our well-made paddles along the shores and in the cool waters ot our now appreciated Massasoit Lake, soft upholstery was most popular. Our wounds were soon healed, however, by the warm reception of King Massa- soit and the Faculty on the following evening at the formal initiation. We soon noticed the unrest among the older students for the call of war was getting their blood. Practically all foreign students had gone the year before and all the classes were reduced in numbers. Great responsibility rested on those remaining to carry on student activities and spirit. Our class responded and suggested that even these days should be the beginning of new things and offered to start a tradition that Freshmen should wear a distinctive cap, which was accepted. Soon the season of sport was at hand and here we soon made our presence felt, for, beginning with early fall, 1921 attained victory in inter-class games in football, soccer, basketball, baseball, and cross country. Our friends of 1918 felt that the time for the renewal of totem battles had arrived and they had a box built in which was placed a link stamped with their class numerals. One day early in May, while at dinner, the cry of totem went up. After the mad exit by windows, for we found that the doors had been securely locked, we rushed to the banks of the lake and beheld a figure struggling far out on the lake beside an overturned canoe. Two Juniors were madly paddling toward the spot but we soon perceived that they were not intent on saving the figure in the water but the black object floating near by. Seeing their purpose from the shore, immediately everybody started up the lake either by the road or over the rail- road trestle. About four o’clock that afternoon the first of the stragglers started to come in telling of thrilling battles on land and lake, generally resulting in some being tied to trees or bathing in the muddy deep. Our class had been victors by secur- ing the totem and before dark our new possession was being swiftly carried out to the far West. Our class was decreased in numbers when vacation time drew near for many of our men had been called to the colors. So we separated, wondering what the future would be for 1921, but determined that wherever we went the spirit of Springfield would go with us. 60 What few there were ot us that returned in the fall of 1918 were filled with uncertainty and dismay. War had raised havoc with Springfield. Our campus swarmed with strangers; a large group of older men were here for a short period of training for Red Triangle service and nearly two hundred new men had come to join the S. A. T. C. We surely felt alone for all the Seniors and Juniors had gone and most of the professors were in camp service. Although few of our number came back from the service, those of us who were here determined to impress with the older classes the spirit that existed before the war on the large Freshman class. This was accomplished to a large degree with the assistance of lake and midnight parties. Our class banquet, interrupted by the kidnapping of a large number from the class, was sumptuously finished after a thrilling recapture from the green crowned youths of ’22. Again in this, our Sophomore year, we won the totem for another year and also won a good place in the inter-class winnings. So another year passed, broken and interrupted, but we looked forward to the Junior year as one which would be like the Old Days that before the war we had heard so much about. We returned for our Junior year filled with consciousness that in a sense we were on the beginning of the home stretch of our college life. We met the old crowd returning, mixed with the new-old crowd who had been fighting on the various battle fronts during the war, and it was a glor ious time of renewing old acquaintances. Our class numbered thirty-seven this year but only eighteen were of the old original class of 1921, presenting a problem of organization for the interests of class and College. Again we remained conquerors on the gridiron in interclass games, loyally supported by the Freshman class from the side lines. Our class was well repre- sented on the varsity football team. The College had arrived at a time when class consciousness was strong, and feeling that our time for evolving something new for the Junior class to do each year had come, the suggestion of the Junior Prom was raised. The very sug- gestion was received with great enthusiasm and by Easter vacation plans were well under way for the first Prom ever held on the campus. The time selected was April 23, 24, and 25. Our varsity team would stage a game of baseball the afternoon of the 23d, and a formal dance would be held that night preceded by a reception to the Sen- ior class. The 24th was to be given up to a pageant participated in by the whole student body, with a banquet at night in Woods Flail. That evening the glee club would give an exhibition in West Gymnasium, bringing the second day of entertainment to a suitable close. The following day, which w ' as Sunday, would be observed by the whole student body going to South Church to a special serv- ice there, ending the Prom in a suitable way. The Seniors, who were our invited guests, received the suggestion also very heartily, making it certain that here was an occasion in our College life which would only be eclipsed by the Com- mencement Week itself. So the time flies on and the right to assume the full dignity of a Senior is at hand. Self-analysis has become our predominating thought: Are we worthy to take on the burden and be respected as the group of men to guide Spring- field by word and deed for the year 1920-1921? 62 T1)C modern David and Goliatl). 63 ( 4 CLASS OF 1922 Class of 1922 Abbatte, D.

A. T. C. In the memory of every member of that noble group there is a vision of a cool night in the latter part of September. Yes, it is true that the thought of rotten eggs, feathers, mud puddles, alum, the woods, and PADDLES brings back a vivid recollection of that memorable night when the Springfield Spirit was inform- ally introduced to us. It was not long before we were members of the organization known as the S. A. T. C. Much could be said of our life in the S. A. T. C., but suffice it to say, that barring our numerous battles with tin cans and old shoes after 10 P M., we soon took up the regular routine work. The end of our spring vacation marked an epoch in our history. The class of 1921 will tell you of the eventful evening spent at the Burns Hotel in Palmer. It is a fond recollection of our first banquet, which we held so successfully, and we look back with pleasure to that evening. But that was but for one evening and we returned to College a new class, organized and ready to take up our regular studies. In supporting the athletics of our College we are all proud of the men w 7 ho made the varsity and interclass teams. Football, hockey, basketball, swimming, and cross country all had a goodly number of men from our class. In interclass sports we walked off with swimming, track, and baseball. Then we came to the close of our first year and we felt that we had gained much. We were beginning to realize the Ideals of Springfield and we were the class, 1922, ready to uphold these Ideals. As we left for our summer’s vacation we glanced back over our Freshman year marked with trials and mistakes, then looked forward to the day when King Massasoit would again call forth his sons to carry on the varied activities for another year. When September 17 again rolled around it found us back again wandering about the campus but with new feeling and different emotions than in 1918. While our studies commanded a goodly share of our time, they by no means held all our attention. Football and soccer loomed up and our class again called forth its sons to represent the College. Interclass sports came around and we give credit to those who deserve it and congratulate those members of the upper classes who earned their numerals in football and soccer. It wouldn’t do to pass without speaking of the enjoyable evening spent at The Bridgway. Thanks to those members of 1923 who stood afar off and yelled while we walked peacefully to our appointed places. And now as the Massasoit goes to press and we look back over our year and a half we all agree that the fights and sacrifices we have made were worth while. There are big things to be done and 1922 pledges its class and looks for- ward with pleasure to carrying on the College work for a larger Springfield. 67 BAB ' § T =4 os CLASS OF 192 Glass of 1923 Abercrombie, E.

What a host of West- erners, Southerners, Canadians, and others at once crowd thick upon us! A history of Twenty-three! O shades of Massasoit, witness the degeneracy ot modern literature, when history is dependent for its theme upon such an ag- gregation as we, the present Freshman Class! Where we ever came from, how we ever got here, and, worst of all, how we all got here at one time, are still mys- teries that no one can ever solve. The only time that our class has ever been seen to act in unison was on the occasion of the informal initiation, September 21, when the members of Twenty- two paddled the Springfield “Spirit” into us. That was our first attempt and fairly successful. Ever since it has been, “Everybody for himself and the Lord for us all.” It is perfectly evident that the largest share of the work has fallen upon the Lord himself, with such men to run the affairs of the class as Fish Her- ron, Womba Reed, Lady Bowman, and Skinny Seaman! The next time that we tried to get together was on the day that we rushed the Sophomore class while they were on their way to their banquet at The Bridg- way. We ought to have really won the rush and have tied old Twenty-two up, because we had everything so craftily (?) planned out with a big, strong band of live detectives on the look-out, and a heavy reserve to rush in at the last few moments and help gather up the fragments of Twenty-two. The reserves were useless, most of them having gone to attend faculty tea at the last few moments. Twenty-two didn’t constitute the fragments, however, and, incidentally, we lost the rush and willingly allowed the Sophomores to feast at The Bridgway. We feel quite proud of the fact that every varsity team, even the tussing team, had Twenty-three men well at the tront. At the beginning of the year we fell down a little on our interclass games but we certainly did win the basket- ball, swimming, and cross-country bacons! Our scholastic committee blushes when the yearly report is passed in, but we’ll surprise the world some day with our intelligence. Another occasion when we had hoped to act together was along the last of February — our class banquet — Horan and Stacy as managers; possibly you may remember it! There were about seventy-five of us, and in three hours we ate a wonderful feed, went through a grand list of speeches and toasts by our guests, and purloined enough silverware to start a hotel. We all had what might be called “a real pleasant time.” The Freshman Flag day was some day, with good old Twenty-three flying over the campus for four hours. What’s two hundred dollars to a lot of tun? Oh, we re a clever crowd, but will some one kindly tell us “where we are at”? CLASS OF 1924 Class History When President Doggett called the prospective sons of Old Springfield to- gether on September 17, 1919, twenty-two Preparatory men answered the roll call. Of this number five of the men were unable to keep up with the rapid pace required, but three new men felt confident of holding their own in the class. Two of our number, Francisco Lona and T. B. Rodriguez, are native sons of Mexico. Both men were in Association work in Mexico City and since coming here have done splendid class work. One half of the class were in service in either the Army or the Navy during the World War. Those who did not see active service were doing their share back home. Practically all of the men have had experience in some line of Asso- ciation work. The class did exceptionally well in athletics. In football the Sophomores had a hard task to defeat us as is shown by the 6 to 0 score. We were likewise unfortunate in soccer, losing to the Freshmen by a 1 to 0 score. Two men were out for varsity football. Leo Staley has made the varsity wrestling team and has won most of the matches that he has been in. The class has excellent prospects for a winning gym. team, as well as other class games to be played later. Several enjoyable stag affairs have been held during the year. However, the best times are yet to come before the end of the school year. A class banquet is to be one of the memorable events. One of the things for which every Preparatory class is noted for is the bonfire they build each year for “Aggie” Day. This year’s bonfire eclipsed all others ot former years. Every member is doing his best to uphold the traditions of Spring- field and all are looking optimistically on the future. 74 ATHLETICS Springfield’s World Wide Leadership in Physical Education Springfield’s contribution for 33 years has been the preparation of Christian leaders in physical education who combine health instruction with character building. The call tor Christian leaders came first from the V. M. C. A. In 1886 l)r. George K Poole, the Dean of the Springfield Alumni in physical education and Director of the Twenty-third Street V. M. C. A. in New York, came as the first student. A. A. Stagg, Professor of physical education at the University of Chicago, came in 1891 to prepare for physical education in the College field. Lory Prentiss, Director at the Lawrenceville School, came in 1890 fitting for secondary school work. These men, under the inspiration and leadership of Dr. Luther H. Gulick, set standards ot Christian leadership in physical educa- tion which have been adopted in all lands. Springfield’s contribution in the home land includes other leaders in the Y. M. C. A. like Dr. L. R. Welsmiller of New York, Dr. A. E. Garland of Bos- ton, and M. 1. Foss ot Chicago Y. M. C. A. College, Dr. H. F. Kallenberg of the International Committee for industrial work, and W. H. Ball representing the City Association physical education also for the International Committee. In the educational field Springfield has men like Dr. James Naismith, Pro- lessor ot physical education at the University of Kansas and the inventor of basketball, C. V. P. Young at Cornell University, and Dr. George L. Meylan at Columbia University. Harvard University, in reorganizing its physical education in September, 1919, selected W. H. Geer and two additional Springfield men to do the work. In the foreign field, Springfield is represented by such men as Dr. Harry Gray in India, who has organized the physical education for the Y. M. C. A. and the Indian Government representing 400,000,000 people; in China, such men as Dr. Arthur Shoemaker and F. C. Fette, who have organized the work at the Higher Normal College. In England, George Cross is the National Y. M. C. A. Secretary for physical education with James S. Summers heading up the National Normal School of physical education. Jess T. Hopkins is the national leader in physical education for South America. These men represent the type of lead- ership which Springfield has been furnishing to this and other countries. Spring- field standards of admission and preparation have been a large factor in creat- ing the demand for Christian leaders in physical education, not only in the Y. M. C. A. but in all other branches ol physical education and recreation activ- ities. Springfield has been given leadership in correlating instruction and directed activity as co-ordinate parts ot a character building program which would win the allegiance of the youth of the world. 76 fcTM t . HMSB’hS t T The world prestige of Springfield College appears in the award recently made to it by the International Olympic Committee, the permanent central organization of the Olympic games and the world’s most distinguished athletic tribunal, of the Olympic Cup for 1920. The cup is awarded annually to the institution which has made in the past year the most important contributions to the progress of athletics and clean sport. This is the first award of the cup to an institution of collegiate rank. THE OLYMPIC CUP The Olympic Cup, about 0.3 meters high, is made of gold, silver, crystal, and enamel and adorned with precious stones. It was given by Baron de Cubertin to the International Olympic Committee in 1906 with the object of recogniz- ing the services rendered to the progress of sport and physical education by the leading associations, clubs, colleges, etc., of the world. It bears the date of June 23, 1894, as the date of the revival of the Olympic games. Previous dedications have been made, among others, to the Touring Club de France, Henley Royal Regatta, Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, and the College of Rugby, England. 77 78 VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM Football The football season of 1919 was without a doubt the hardest season yet attempted by any team of Springfield. We took on our schedule seven of the leading teams of the East — Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, and Tufts finding a place there. The commendable showing of the team was due to the perfect condition of the men during the entire season; in fact, the team only played its best after battling with the heavy machines of Dartmouth and Yale. Early in the season Coach Berry issued his first call for candidates and about a dozen of the enthusiastic ones returned to school one week before College opened to become limbered up, for the first game of the season with Dartmouth was scheduled for September 27. About fifty men reported and the pep dis- played by all was a reminder of pre-war days. The men realized the heavy schedule and were out to give all they had. The team finally selected was with one or two exceptions the 1917 team and, having worked together before, the prospects were bright. The position which was hardest for Coach Berry to fill was that of quarter. “Shorty” Graham, after several games of experience, filled the gap in veteran style. We opened our season with Dartmouth at Hanover, September 27. The result was a big disappointment. We were defeated by a score of 40 to 0, but we gained a world of experience. Ask Edwards, Watters, or Captain Quinlan. Also Coach Berry had the opportunity to give many of his first string men a chance to display their skill. The second game showed a great improvement. Being somewhat crippled with the loss of Johnson, Edwards, Watters, and Clarke, the defensive work of the Red and White was a revelation to the coach. Yale was forced to fight to her limit and twice had to resort to the wonderful ability of her dropkickers. Braden placed one neatly over the crossbar from a distance of 45 yards. The game resulted in Springfield taking the short end of a 20 to 0 score. Tufts was next in line and a hard contested game ended in a victory by one point, 7 to 6. After playing the first period without a score, Tufts opened up with some clever end runs and passes and forced the ball over the goal line. They failed to kick the goal however. The second half was Springfield’s game and from the time of the whistle it was obvious that our men were deter- mined to win, which they did when Graham took the ball over after several line bucks. The defeat at the hands of Holy Cross in the next game was heartbreaking. Holy Cross scored after only seven minutes of play through a fumble and a wrong decision by the officials, which was allowed to pass. There were many opportunities to score but the breaks of the game were all with the visitors and, although a good defensive game resulted, there was no further scoring. Fort McKinley, a service team from Maine, was scheduled due to the ina- bility of scheduling a college before the heavy Harvard game. The soldiers 79 were unable to stop t he rush of Springfield and C oach Berry used practically all of his men and any tactics that he desired. The final score was 58 to 0. The game with Harvard was a victory inasmuch as it gained for Springfield quite some prominence as a team well trained in the open forward passing game. A fumble in the first few minutes of the game resulted in a touchdown and Casey succeeded in carrying the ball over tor two more touchdowns, one coming after the only successful forward pass which Harvard completed, and the other after a clever open field run. In the second halt Harvard was kept on the defense the entire time. The Red and White completed thirteen passes for a total of 140 yards and had the distinction of gaining more yards against Harvard than any other opponent so far. The score, 20 to 0, was no indication of the close- ness of the game. Hamilton College was beaten by the score of 12 to 0 in a game that proved quite exciting. At no time did Hamilton threaten to score but the defense offered by the New York team was a hard proposition to solve and it was not until the second half when Springfield opened up with some clever forward passes, Civiletto to Eggebrecht, that we were able to score. Aggie Day was a big day and one of the largest crowds ever seen on Pratt Field was on hand to witness a battle royal. The two teams were evenly matched and only straight football was used. The Aggies had a lit- tle advantage in the passing game while Brett and Drew gave Spring- field the advantage in the plunging. The ball surged back and forth in the middle of the field and there were very tew real opportunities to score. For the third successive time the an- nual battle resulted in a scoreless tie. The game scheduled with West Point for the 22d of November was canceled by West Point without any real reason being given. Perhaps the aerial game of Springfield at Harvard had something to do with it. Cowell was elected Captain for 1920 and with the fighting warriors of Coach Otto’s second team, the pros- pects for a successful team next year are very promising. We wish him all success for the coming season. THE WINNING GOAL 80 The Team Elmer Berry, Coach H. D. Drew R. H. Lavik M. R. Johnson F. Civiletto L. Watson L. Watters A. Schaeffer R. C. Yeoman N.

Their work is seldom appreciated by the student body but to them must be granted the success of the varsity to a large degree. The fighting spirit was especially noticeable, the men never refusing to do their part; although among the lightest and smallest men on the field, they were always ready and willing to take their bumps” against the larger and heavier men on the varsity. In reviewing the season, pleasant memories of games and trips are sure to be recalled, and when candidates are called for at the opening of the 1920 foot- ball season, each “scrub” will be found on Pratt Field working for a place on the varsity team. Captain, Cooper Manager, Reid Coarh, Otto 84 85 VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM Baseball Late in February a squad of over seventy-five men responded to Coach Elmer Berry’s first call for spring baseball training in the West gymnasium. Of these men the Coach had three varsity players to form the nucleus of the 1919 combination. Captain Carlson, pitcher, “Bud” Sharpe, outfielder, and “Casey” Habermann, first baseman, were the only vets back at College. However, much promising material was on hand and all things pointed toward a successful sea- son. With scarcely two weeks of outdoor practice the newly constructed team journeyed to New Haven for its initial game of the season against Yale, April 9. Although outhit 6 to 3 the Bull Dog triumphed by a 2 to 0 score. Springfield showed great possibilities in the game and from that time on Coach Berry was very optimistic regarding his 1919 machine. Much of the nervousness and many of the rough spots which were in evidence at Yale had been smoothed out by the time that the team met Harvard. Superiority in every department of play resulted in a 7 to 1 victory over the Crimson and incidentally our first win of the season. The team was now developing fast and in our opening game at home Dart- mouth was subdued in one of the most thrilling battles ever seen at Pratt Field. Playing on a raw, cold day, the teams seesawed back and forth until the last of the eighth inning which saw the Green in the lead 4 to 3. At this time, acting upon a hunch Coach Berry injected pinch hitter Fahl into the game with a man on first base and two batters out. The Springfield supporters groaned as Fahl swung dizzily at a curve ball. A second later this same athlete crashed a wild pitch for three bases, tying the score. Captain Carlson then singled through short and pinch hitter Fahl was the hero of a 5 to 4 victory over the boys from Hanover. Wesleyan proved the next victim before the Springfield onslaught. Starting his first game of the season, pitcher “Cy” Twombly showed the prettiest piece of twirling of the year by striking out 17 Wesleyan hitters and kalsomining the opposition 1 to 0. The clever base running of Sharpe enabled Spring- field to score its lone tally. The most decided reverse of the season was now encountered at Holy Cross in early May, when our boys lost to the future priests, 10 to 5. Inability of our pitchers to check the hard hitters of the strong Worcester combination was the main reason for the defeat. With the sting of the Holy Cross defeat still in mind the team took revenge upon Trinity at Hartford the next week by admin- istering a 12 to 1 score. Many Springfield batting averages were swelled on this day. COACH BERRY 86 Colgate was our guest for the next game and through superb defensive play carried home a 3 to 1 portion of the bacon. Worcester Polytech, entertained our now formidable aggregation a week later, and went under fighting hard by a 9 to 0 score. The hitting of “Cy” Twombly and “Bud” Sharpe was instrumental in scoring most of Springfield’s runs. After a hectic automobile trip starting Friday, 1 P.M., and ending Satur- day, 4 A.M., our boys landed at West Point. If any of the team were still dizzy from the previous night’s joy ride, when they took the field that afternoon, they gave no evidence of the fact. This game was a thriller, being in doubt until the last put-out in the ninth, when “Bud” Sharpe, our dependable middle fielder, ran a quarter of a mile to pull down Captain Miller’s would-be home run. The men were unanimous in saying that the 2 to 1 victory was well earned. Starting on a three-day trip the team now journeyed north and met N. H. State College at Dover, N. Id. With a 11 to 0 lead Coach Berry experimented with his pitching staf f and as a result the New Hampshire Staters gave us the greatest scare of the season. 12 to 10 was the final count in a game featured by good and bad pitching and hard hitting. “Rabbit” Bennett, “Bud” Sharpe, and Sammy Kallock did herculean work with their bats on this day. The first Saturday in June saw Springfield at Boston College. Lack of con- trol in one inning by “Cy” Twombly enabled them to score five runs, which proved to be four more than the Springfield wrecking crew could shove across. Our Commencement Day game against the Aggies was lost through over- confidence and the 2 to 1 ten-inning victory of our highly respected rivals, al- though sweet to them, will be hard for the 1919 team to forget. Considering everything, the 1919 baseball team was undoubtedly one of the best that has ever represented Springfield College. Much credit must be given to Professor Berry for his careful coaching and constant devotion to the team. Starting with practically raw material he gradually molded together a combination which before the season was half over became known as one of the most formidable teams in the East.

Previous to this time we had been denied the privilege of competing in inter- collegiate circles, but, due to the persistent efforts of Dr. J. H. McCurdy, our patience was finally rewarded. After two years, Dr. Donald Young, then a professor of Biology at our Col- lege, suggested a possible meet of the colleges in the Connecticut valley, such a meet to include Amherst, M. A. C., Trinity, Worcester Tech., Holy Cross, Wil- liams, and Springfield. Upon his suggestion, Mr. Edwin Elbel began to make preparations towards the attainment of this goal. Then began one of the most tedious tasks which has been undertaken here in recent years. With the idea of putting Springfield on a competitive basis in Track, as we were in other sports, Mr. Elbel proceeded to map out his program, endeavoring to hold this Annual Meet on Pratt Field each year. Realizing that such an endeavor must be financed by other means than those which our Student Association could provide, the matter was taken up with Prof. Louis C. Schroeder and Mr. Winslow of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately or unfortunately, the New England Inter-Collegiates, which were to be held at Pratt Field that year, were given to Boston and the way seemed open for the new venture. After much time and thought and due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Elbel, the first meeting was arranged. The teams which were to participate were Holy Cross, Trinity, Rensselaer Polytech., Springfield, and Dartmouth. For some reason or other Amherst did not compete that year. Dartmouth was invited and responded heartily. On May 11, 1918, the first meet of the Connecticut Valley teams took place, Dartmouth winning by a large margin with 88 points, and Holy Cross following in second place with 29 points. In spite of the fact that Dartmouth virtually walked away with the meet, it was a decided success and the competition was keen. Dartmouth brought with them a wonderful collection of material and furnished plenty of excitement for all present. And so the beginning was made. As a result of the limited time of those associated with this new movement, the greatest part of the work fell upon the shoulders of our manager Mr. Elbel, and to him is due all the credit which may come out of this venture. During his period of service in the army, Mr. Elbel kept in constant touch with the Chamber of Commerce wfith regard to keeping alive the spirit, and upon his return from service he immediately renewed his touch with affairs for the coming year. Mr. Harry Kerr, the manager of the 1919 team, was kept con- stantly on the move in an endeavor to bring fruit from the seeds which had been sown the year before. In February, 1919, at a meeting of the managers and coaches of the teams in the Connecticut Valley, it was decided to call the affair the Eastern Inter-Col- legiate Meet and an organization was formed under the title of the Eastern 89 Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, having as its president, Mr. Jones, grad- uate manager of Colgate. It was decided to invite all colleges in the East, ex- tending as tar west as Rochester, New York. Two weeks later another meet- ing was held and by-laws were drawn up. On May 10, 1019, in a driving rain, the first meet of the newly organized association was held, 12 colleges competing. W hile the weather was very unfa- vorable and held down the time and records of the contestants, the meet went off in fine stvle. The final results of the meet were as follows: — Colgate, 27C points Stevens, 24 points New Hampshire, 21 C points Boston 15 points Holy Cross, 15 points Middlebury, 15 points Springfield, 11 % points Tufts, 9 points Y. P. I. 5}4 points This meet was very closely contested, and, under better climatic conditions, would have proved one of the best of the meets held in recent years. Two days before the Eastern Inter-Collegiate Meet, the 1919 team took its first look into the Track and Field Battlefields, journeying to Holy Cross. In spite of the fact that the season had opened late, w r e were able to give the Worcesterites a good battle, losing the meet by a score of 74 to .51. On May 17, the team arrived in Troy, ready lor action with R. P. I., but as a heavy rain had been falling and the coach of the R. P. I. aggregation deemed it unadvisable for his athletes to compete, this meet was called off. The third meet of the sea- son was held at Hamilton, New York, with Colgate University, where we were able to hold up our end of the score to 46, Colgate assuming the lead with 71 points. The final meet of the season was staged at Boston College where the best showing of the year was made, Boston College scoring 73 points to Spring- field’s 69. Owing to the unsettled conditions and the general disarrangement brou ght about by the war, the season opened without a captain. In a meeting of the team and coach, Mr. Herman Hillebrandt was elected to pilot the team for the season and performed his duty nobly. Mr. Paul Otto was appointed coach, in place of Mr. Louis Schroeder, who was serving in France at the time. Mr. Otto’s coaching pep and fiery spirit put new life into the team and was produc- tive of wonderful results. Having practically a new team, with one or two ex- ceptions, the team exceeded all expectations and bids fair to develop into a group of athletes who will assume their share of fame and glory in 1920. The men lost through graduation were Messrs. Charles Markley, Herman Hillebrandt, and Harry Kerr. At the final meet of the season, Mr. Floyd M. Van Wagner was elected captain for the coming year. 90 Tennis Team The tennis team for 1919 got away with a very early start. The first match, in fact, was played in a young snowstorm. At the beginning of the season only two men from last year’s team were on hand. However, before the first match was played, the team received a great boost in the returning of Arthur Jeffrey from France, captain of the 1918 team. The last member of the team to finally win his place was Ted Richardson, brother of “Jap Rich,” captain of the 1916 team. The team certainly missed the energetic efforts of Coach Cheney, who was in France. However, a former pupil of his — Wally Parker, captain of the 1915 team — rendered a great service to the team by giving much of his time and many pointers on good playing. This year’s schedule was the largest the tennis team has ever had, and while the success was nothing to brag about, we feel that Springfield is progressing in the tennis world.

Team, after two years of inactivity because of war con- ditions, was organized again this year. It is the major winter sport and offers a splendid opportunity for development along gymnastic lines. The object of the team is, first, to take up the study and practice of all forms of gymnastics; second, to exhibit such work in the Y. M. C. A.’s, acad- emies, colleges, and recreation centers throughout the country. The team is unique inasmuch as it presents an exhibition of what an all-around trained man can do. The program is quite characteristic of the type of work carried on in the College. Although there is comparatively little time given to the practice of advanced gymnastics in the regular college work — it merely takes its place along with other branches of physical education, technical and religious sub- jects — yet this team in the past has reached a high degree of efficiency. The team for the past fifteen years has given demonstrations and carried the message of the Christian Physical Director into scores of cities, to thousands of young men. The team is prepared in connection with gymnastic engagements to assist in conducting boys’ and men’s meetings. During the present season the team has given twenty-three exhibitions and assisted in conducting meetings, boys’ and leaders’ corps in the various Y. M. C. A.’s, giving talks upon the work of the College and the calling of the Christian Physical Director. Members of the team have also interviewed young men interested in the College as prospective students. The Team L. J. Judd (captain), ' 20, Adelaide, Australia. R. W.

Work began with a rush and it was soon found that there was some good material in the making; but there was still a question as to whether or not it could be rounded into shape for this season. A blow was delivered when Stack left College at Christmas, but Anderson wa s already showing ability in that weight, and thus saved the coach from much worry. Our first match was with Yale on January 14. It was a very green bunch of men who met the Eli team that night, and although they received a rather severe trouncing, it only put more determination and vim into them. On the following Friday, they left for Princeton. Here the men showed marked im- provement, and two of the new men, Anderson and Mooney, came through with victories. This match was much closer than the score indicates, and the team left Princeton with a big increase in confidence. Lehigh, their next opponent, looked pretty big as she had never been beaten by Springfield, but the men set out and surprised every one by coming through with a victory. Following the Lehigh meet the team had two rather hard matches with Brown and Harvard. Both matches were closely fought. In the first of the two, Brown won by a single point, and in the second Harvard won by one bout. 95 Following this nothing could stop the team and they plowed right through all opposition and finally avenged themselves of their defeat at the hands of Harvard and Brown by beating both in the inter-collegiates, and winning highest honors. In the match with Tufts, Springfield won every bout and in the Dart- mouth and Norwich matches, even without two of the regulars, Captain Arms and Denny, they easily disposed of their opponents. At the inter-collegiates, held at the Auditorium here in Springfield, five teams were entered: Harvard, M. I. T., Brown, Dartmouth, and Springfield. The first night things looked very bright for Harvard as she had all of her men still left, while Springfield had but four of the seven, and only two of these were sure of getting into the finals. In the remaining semi-finals, Captain Arms and Mooney succeeded in getting falls from their opponents, thus assuring themselves of a place in the finals. Meanwhile Brown had defeated her Harvard opponent in the 175-pound class, leaving Harvard with six men in the finals and Spring- field with but four. Anderson, as was expected, came through in fine style, but this advantage was quickly lost sight of when Captain Corson, Smith, and Isra- elite of Harvard came through with their matches in quick succession. Hope began to revive when Arms disposed of his Harvard man. Simon lost to the Brown man in the 175-pound class but received two points for second place, mak- ing the score Harvard 19, Springfield 17. Mooney, Springfield’s big unlimited man, then came up against his Harvard opponent. This was the last bout of the evening and a win was necessary. Un- der the circumstances Mooney decided that there was no way out of the situation but to wdn by a fall, and this he proceeded to do in short order. Much credit must be given Coach Montague for his work with the team. For a coach to take a bunch of green men and work up a championship team by the end of the season speaks for itself.

I he increasing interest in this sport is bringing out a large squad and the runners are of the best. During the fall the team was victorious in all the meets that it entered. The squad was coached by Professor Otto, who gave the men a thorough training which was no little factor in their success. “Tom” Leonard was chosen Captain and was one of the mainstays of the team. Ellinwood, Tandy, Furch, and Metcalf ran well together and did fine work for the team. Moore, the sixth man. also did well. Ellinwood was chosen captain for the coming season.

Springfield has always been noted for its soccer teams, which, under the able coaching of Professor Affleck, have generally made a clean sweep of the East. This year’s team proved itself capable of upholding the fair name of our Alma Mater and will be ranked as one of the best Springfield has had. With but two letter men back, “Jack” Aspinall made a winner out of practically green material. Yale, Dartmouth, and Amherst were defeated with but little difficulty. Two losses were recorded, Harvard and Dartmouth, by 1 to 0 scores. M azeski, Martin, Clegg, Chase, and Kilpatrick formed a fast offense. Kal- lack, Read, and Captain Noren were the mainstays on the defense. Barclay and Williams put up a strong game at full. In Maynard the team has a quick and plucky goalie. With but one man lost by graduation, a great year is ahead of the team. 98 Schedule Springfield Opponent Dartmouth at Hanover, 5 1 Yale at New Haven, 2 Harvard at Cambridge, 0 1 Amherst at Springfield, 4 0 Dartmouth at Springfield, 0 1 Amherst at Amherst, 3 1 Total, 14 5 99 Basketball Although basketball was invented at Springfield College the game has not of late years been given the attention it deserves as it is still ranked as a minor sport. In spite of this handicap the standard of playing has always been high and the season of 1919-20 was no exception. With ten letter men in school, expectations were high and a promising beginning was made when Middlebury was swamped in the opening game. The first trip abroad resulted in an easy win over Pratt, but an overtime game was lost to West Point by virtue of the scorer’s mistake in crediting Eggebrecht with an extra personal foul which re- moved him from the game at the time when Springfield had a comfortable lead and was going strong. Shortly after this trip Manager Russel Wilson left College and R. PI. Lavik was appointed to distribute the complimentary tickets and respond to the que- ries: “When do we eat: 1 ” Amherst was easily disposed of but Worcester Tech proved a stumbling block, and we were badly defeated by the wonderful team representing Stevens Tech. A gap in the schedule, caused by the cancellation of Colgate games and one of the Dartmouth contests, gave the team an opportu- nity to recover from its slump and New Hampshire State and Dartmouth were successively defeated. Yale, through some brilliant basket shooting, won a well played game on the New Haven court. 1(10 Postponements brought about the necessity of playing four games in the final week of the season, all of them away from home. Our old rivals, the “Ag- gies,” Amherst, and New Hampshire State, were made away with but the strain of the three games showed in the final contest of the season, which Worcester Tech, won after a truly brilliant exhibition of basketball. The season closed with a splendid banquet at the home of Professor Johnson, upon which occasion Edmund O’Donnell of South Bend, Indiana, and a member of the present Junior class, was chosen captain for the season of 1920-21. Pros- pects for next season are, according to Coach Johnson, “not so shaggy.” Cap- tain Mansfield, Eggebrecht, Graham, and Eavik will be lost by graduation, but O’Donnell, Bennett, Watters, Simms, Lash, and Fallon will be back. We pre- dict a great season.

In Livingstone the team had a good leader. He and Brown were sure point getters in the dives. Eastwood, Benson, Nichols, and Peabody handled the bulk of the swimming events with success. With but one man lost through graduation, Springfield has a bright outlook for next year.

Although most of last year’s varsity, one of the best hockey teams ever representing Springfield, were back on the job, the necessary punch to put the winning puck into the cage was lacking. How- ever, though victories were not ours, we gave the College several fine exhibitions of hockey while playing some of the best teams of the East on Pratt Field. Begg put up a splendid game at goal and kept the team in the running. The forward combination used at the close of the season — Samson, center; Noren, right wing; Fink, left wing; and Leonard, rover — made a strong offense. Starr and Captain Van Wagner played a steady game on the defense. Coach Otto’s remark, “Never mind, boys, you’re getting good experience out of each game,” sums up our opinion of the season.

A sc hedule of ten games was arranged but those with Southbridge “Y,” Sul- field, and Wilbraham were canceled on account of traveling conditions.

Playing five contests against high school and academy teams in the vicinity, it came through with a clean slate, registering five victories. The fast Wilbraham Academy team suffered twice before our “second’s” attack. The feature player of the team was Ernest Sousa, a Freshman, from Portugal. His work was both fast and tricky. Captain Starr performed well at half back while Denny played a steady game at full. The fine showing made by several of the members of the team leaves little room for worry when it comes to filling in the vacancies on the varsity next season.

This past year has witnessed some very thrilling battles on Pratt Field and in the “gym.” The honors were divided fairly evenly between the four classes, the Seniors, Sophs, and “Fresh” taking three championships, the Juniors con- tenting th emselves with football alone. The struggle for superiority on the gridiron was perhaps the most exciting and the results more surprising than in any of the other sports. The “Fresh” and Sophs, with their large numbers to choose from, had unanimously agreed that the Seniors and Juniors didn ' t have a chance and odds were on the chances of ’22 winning out. The Sophs easily defeated the Fresh team, 12 to 0. The Juniors needed two attempts to clear the stubborn Seniors out of the path — first game 0 to 0; the second 19 to 0. In the title game between the Juniors and Sophs, well! the score was 26 to 0 in favor of ' 21. In addition to creating a healthy expression for class spirit the games made it possible for nearly every fellow in school to take part in some form of sport, which condition is the ideal for which we are striving.

CLASS ' CIODSff The fostering of that spirit of good comradeship and mutual sympathy and helpfulness that will in after years make the memories of Old Springfield so precious to us all, is secured for the most part through the social activities of the College. Can we not in our present state of good health bring back fond memories of the Initiation when the newcomers are brought into warm contact with the upper classmen? And can we forget those up-the-lake-get-togethers, where the even- ing’s enjoyment is incomplete unless you get an eye full of smoke and a collar full of coffee. Here, around the camp fire, the first seeds of true friendships are sown. Impetus was given to the fervid enthusiasm of “Aggie” day by a dance in the gym after the game. Dancing on the campus is but a recent innovation and has added considerably to the social life of the College. The climax ot the fall term was the athletic reception and dance. There were good speeches, artistic programs, and fine dancing. Real fellowship and interest were noted in the re- ception to the winners of the “S,” which stimulates all to more highly hold our sacred emblem. In our “Mem” books we can look back and live again those Sunday evening fellowships around the fire in the Social Hall, the numerous open houses when we gallantly exhibited our attempts at interior decorating, the Thanksgiving dinner, the class dances and banquets, and the many other affairs which made our College life so pleasant. And springtime on Lake Massasoit! When even the very Preps themselves are inspired to poetry, enraptured in the sublime beauty of the moon filtering through the birch and pine, kissing the rippling water beneath with tender ca- resses! Oh, splash! Many happy evenings are spent thus, with ukeleles strum- ming and voices harmonizing on our dear College songs as we slowly drift along the shining path of friendship. The personal friendships gained through these activities make college spirit possible and, “though light as air, are strong as iron bands,” and go with us to make life sweeter and happier. TENNIS ON PRATT FIELD 111 Creating Hallowed Ground Since 1898 it has been the practice of Springfield’s loyal sons to set aside, a occasion arose, a portion ot their time lor the purpose of accomplishing some very necessary improvement to the campus of their Alma Mater. Incidentally they have in each case expended enough physical energy in accomplishing the end to feel that, in a very true sense, they have built themselves into the glorious history of Massasoit and have at the same time erected to themselves a monu- ment which w ill withstand the ages, a monument of hallowed ground. In 1898, the then small body of students undertook to make pleasant to the eye the long green slope in the rear of the dormitory. Again it was the students who erected the boathouse in 1903. Pratt Field is the result of the efforts of the students in 1913. But the present generation of Springfield’s sons were not to be outdone. They must take their part in carrying on this most worthy of our traditions. With this in mind the entire student body turned out for duty on the morn- ing of Friday, October 30, 1919, and, armed with picks, shovels, and axes, marched to the new field recently purchased on Baxter street. This was heavily overgrown with underbrush and supported much standing timber. However, the 300 crusaders spread out across the field and attacked. By noontime, practi- cally the entire field was cleared of all standing growth. After a respite of an hour, during which the laborers enjoyed one of Chef Hall’s best dinners, the attack was again taken up and pursued even more fiercely until darkness forced a withdrawal of the armed forces. The result was wonderful. Six acres of land were cleared and made almost ready for laying out for its proposed uses. The job was well done and all who took part may be proud of the result of their efforts. In later years, when each returns to his Alma Mater and sees teams in action on that field, he will feel amply repaid for those blistered hands and aching back. “The Brotherhood of Kindred Hearts is like to that above.” October 12, the day Columbus discovered this glorious country of ours, has been set by Springfield College as a day when all her sons shall do some explor- ing of their own. In other words it is “Mountain Day.” This is the day when early in the morning all men, clad in varied and colorful attire, board special King street cars, along with the “eats,” and start out lor the far distant Holyoke mountains. Needless to say Columbus undertook no less a dangerous mission than these courageous men when they boarded a King street car. Columbus was also just about as sure of reaching his destination. The terminal of this adventurous ride is generally Lithia Springs at the base of the Mt. Holyoke Range. Here, after the strenuous three hour ride, about the first thing the crowd does, like the ordinary crowd, is to eat. After a lunch of “dogs” and “sinkers,” the strenuous part of the program begins, with a steep climb to the summit of the Range. Once the top is reached, the climber is well rewarded for his efforts by a wonderful view of the valley below with the famous ox-bow of the Connecticut River outlined like a silver chain against the gor- geous coloring of the foliage. Here the hikers generally split into two groups, one group going to Amherst Notch and the other to Mt. Holyoke. The Amherst Notch hikers go to Amherst and from there to Northampton, visiting Smith College. The Mt. Holyoke crowd arrive there, but by a different route. They go up and down the ridges, led at a terrific pace by Professor Cheney, to the Mt. Holyoke House. From here they slide or scramble down the mountain side, cross the river on an old ferry, and hike to Northampton, where the groups unite and come home by train. ON MT. HOLYOKE RIDGE 113 The Initiations Every fall there is an immigra- tion of a group of “individuals” to Springfield. Last fall an unusually large group migrated this way. In fact it was the largest group we have ever had to receive. Un- daunted, however, by the size of the group, the plans went merrily on lor a big reception. In due time orders were given to the men, who now called themselves Freshmen, to make their paddles. On Monday evening as dusk began to fall, the faint-hearted seekers of wisdom were ushered into the basement of the gym and then upstairs to be properly bound and blindfolded. The rest of the pro- gram is too painful to tell and we will leave the reader to use his own imagination. Needless to say, they all received a “warm” reception After all was said and done the majority of the men returned to the gym for cider and sinkers. There was, however, a group, commonly known as the “chain gang,” who somehow did not hap- pen to get back in time. Some say that when last seen they were going south by east in a “tin Lizzie.” These men returned in time for breakfast. Monday night was a night of fun and frolic, when every one, except perhaps the few Freshmen, had a good time. Tuesday night was a night of seriousness and historic importance. On this night our would-be followers of King Massasoit were silently ushered into the darkened West gym. Here, when a dim light was turned on, they found they were facing our faculty, who were to guide them through four years of college life. They were warmly wel- comed tf) our midst by Doctor Doggett. On their left they saw the twelve captains of our athletic teams representing the extent that Springfield enters into collegiate sport. On their right they saw and heard the duties and work of the Student Association and Senate. Dr. Ballantine in a wonderful talk told them of the traditions of “Old Springfield.” King Massasoit then entered the scene, administered the oath of allegiance, and we had the class of 1923. 114 KING MASSASOIT AND SON The Totem Amherst has her “Sabrina”; Pennsylvania has her “Quaker Man”; Spring- field has her “Totem.” Around this mysterious , traditional object the interest of the whole College is particularly centered at least once a year, the second week in May. And what can it be that will arouse the deadliest of class rivalry and feeling, far deeper than “Fresh” Flag Days or Inter-class Football? The Totem is an oak chest, resembling in style and construction the original Captain Kidd treasure chest. It is a gift to the school of the Class of 1918, with the proviso that every year it shall be brought forth and all classes given an op- portunity to “scrap” for it. The class that by hook or crook gains possession of the Totem is entitled to add one link, with the class numerals engraved on it, to the chain of links started by 1918. Thus, each class that secures the coveted trophy can immortalize herself by adding its link. When there are twelve links on the chain, it will be taken from the chest, silver plated, and hung in the trophy case. There are at present three links on the chain of the Totem, one with the numerals “1918” for the donor of the gift, and two links for the illustrious class of 1921. The incidents that occurred during the struggle for the Totem would make a thrilling and interesting tale. Can we ever forget the gallant but futile attempt of Moench and Cooper to reach safety with the Totem at the far end of the lake in their 1920 canoe, only to have the relentless pursuers of 1921 over- take them and wrest the trophy from them? The individual stories of prowess and heroism recorded for that day would cause even Achilles to blush. The Totem appeared last year at the appointed time and 1921, more by strategy than by force, secured the right to add another link to the chain and build more of her history into the Totem. Perhaps, ere now, the Totem has received another link with new numerals. Whichever class receives this great privilege and honor should strive to build into the Totem the highest of her ideals and character, and thus the Totem will come to be regarded as the real symbol of all that the Springfield Spirit means. 115 Springfield Traditions Many men returning to Springfield after a lapse of several years in service have asked the question, “What has become of some of the traditions that made the Springfield spirit what it is. J ” The senior class, feeling that it was necessary for these traditions to be revived, has under- taken to draw up a list which, it is hoped, all classes will support. Several new traditions have grown up with new conditions. The tradition regarding the wearing of the freshman cap is necessarily new but very reasonable, as it w ill stimulate interest in class competition, something that has been lacking the last few years. The following list does not incorporate all of the traditions of Springfield College, but presents many of the more important ones: 1. In class banquets the following shall be observed: (1 ) The capturing of professors is taboo. (2) Banquets will not be held before February 1st. (3) Classes are not to be molested off the campus, but capturing or detaining on the campus is in order. (4) Junior and senior banquets to be unmolested. 2. The rules of totem are a tradition. 3. When a change is made in the managership of Wood’s Hall, the manager, chef and head waiter are received by the peaceful waters of Lake Massasoit. 4. Only upper-classmen are to go about the campus bare-headed. 5. Upper-classmen shall have the preference in the dormitory. 6. Class pins shall not be worn before men are allowed to wear their letters. 7. The prep class shall build all fires for the social committee. 8. The freshman class shall respond readily to the President of the Student Association to perform duties for the good of the student body. 9. The head waiter at Wood ' s Hall shall reserve the heads of the tables for seniors; juniors taking the places w hen seniors are not available. 10. Students when covered shall recognize the Professors by a salute, that is, touching the cap with the hand. 11. Only Springfield emblems shall be worn on the campus. 12. The seniors shall plant a tree on the campus. 13. In the cutting of decorations for college activities, proper consideration shall be given to the preservation of trees, evergreens, etc., on and in the immediate vicinity of the college campus. 14. The senior class shall leave t heir mark on the campus in the form of a gift to the college. 13. Canoes shall not be removed from the boathouse on Sunday. 16. Visiting teams are to be shown everv possible courtesy while at the college, and given a cheer when first entering upon the field of play. 17. The social room shall not be used during chapel hour. 18. If the freshmen defeat the sophomores in class football or soccer they will be allowed to remove their freshman caps at the end of the fall term. If they are unable to defeat the sopho- mores in one of these two sports, they will be allowed to remove their caps on the second hour of the second day of the second month ; that is, February 2d at 2 a. m. of the current year. 116 I The “Aggies,” our ancient football rivals, came down over five hundred strong, bringing a band and three “elevens” with them, determined that this year they would win the eleventh annual battle and thus have the edge on Spring- field in victories. The first quarter and first half ended without either side showing to advan- tage. Most of the play was in mid-field and very even. Both teams seemed to be playing safe. The game, however, was not without its thrills and kept every one on his toes. During the halves, the Springfield rooters formed an “S” in mid-field. The Aggies tried to break this up but were unsuccessful. This day the “Aggie” cow was brought out and finally mercifully executed by a kindly doctor. After these ceremonies, the game was resumed. The second half, like the first, proved to be a bitter strugg le without either side scoring. The final whis- tle blew and the eleventh annual battle went into history with the tie between the two colleges still existing. The huge “Prep” bonfire was lighted by the captains of both teams and the Springfield and “Aggie” rooters joined hands in a mad dance about the leaping flames. Dusk drew on; the day was over; both sides were happy, and promised to do great things next year. That night there was an “Aggie” dance in the gym at which every one thor- oughly enjoyed himself. Thus another historic event in our College year went down in the annals of history. OH! THE AGGIE COW IT AIN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE 117 118 PRATT FIELD GATES 110 A PERFECT START TT JL The Student Association The guiding factor and all-controlling ele- ment in the student life of the College is the Student Association. In a college whose prin- cipal object is the training of men for the executive leadership in the Young Men’s Christian Association movement, it is fitting that student activities should be incorporated in the Student Young Men’s Christian Association. The peculiar unity in motive of our students and a strong loyalty to the ideals of all are what make the Student Association possible. The organization covers practically all lines of wmrk undertaken by the modern city association and carries a budget of over $60,000 a year. Through its various depart- ments the Association operates the College din- ing hall, co-operative store, which pays annual dividends ranging from 12 to 18 per cent, manages twelve varsity athletic teams with second teams, and conducts inter-class con- tests and sports. The Association also supervises the activities of the literary societies, musical club, glee club, college publications, and all student activities. In the absence of fraternities and alumni athletic associations, the Student Asso- ciation controls and operates every phase of student life and activity. Member- ship, social, religious, missionary, and employment departments are directly responsible to the Student Association. Rapid strides have been taken this year in reviving Springfield ' s missionary and religious spirit, 24 men having been sent to the Quadrennial Student Volun- teer Conference, which was held in January of this year at Des Moines, Iowa. Numerous delegates have been sent to conferences and conventions of a like nature, and the outlook for a particularly good delegation to the Summer Con- ference at Silver Bay is looked for this summer. This conference was formerly held at Northfield and sees its first year at a new meeting place. The central governing body is the Cabinet, elected every spring by the entire student bodv, and is composed of sixteen men, including a president, vice-pres- ident, secretary, and treasurer, and twelve department heads. The head of each department has under him a committee of varying number which takes charge of the work of the department. To be elected to this student Cabinet is to re- ceive one of the greatest responsibilities and the highest honors that the student body can have. Herein also lies one of the choicest opportunities for personal development and practical training. 120 frTPE M 1 In the coming year the sun of Springfield shines bright and the outlook is one of the brightest which has ever been presented to us. The Student Associa- tion faces the new tasks with ever-increasing vigor and enthusiasm and predicts one of the best and biggest years in its history.

In common with classical and scientific colleges, Spring- field College is unique in having its own Honor Society, based, however, not only on scholarship, but on all-round Christian character. To be elected to this society a Senior must be distinguished for his char- acter as a Christian gentleman, his effi- ciency as a Christian worker, and his ca- pacity for leadership. The insignia of this organization is a triangular key with the Greek characters, Kappa, Delta, Pi, the initial letters of the Greek words for Char- acter, Capacity, and Culture. The men are elected in the following manner: A committee secures a list of the ranking men of the class in scholarship, a list of the men the Faculty deem pre-eminently fitted for the society, a list from the Senior class, and a list from the Faculty members having charge of the religious and physical normal work of the College. From these lists a final choice is made. Thus it may be seen that the awarding of this honor is not a mere academic one, but is granted to a man by his fellows, who for four years have toiled, and wrought, and thought with him.” Class of 1919 R.

The work of this body is to act as an intermediary between the faculty and the students in matters of common interest. Before it are brought any cases of violation of the Honor System as well as all cases of conduct out of harmony with the spirit and best traditions of the College. Not only does it act as a judiciary body but it is a legislative one as well, setting standards of conduct and making rulings necessary to the best interests of all concerned. In this period of “storm and stress” through which we are passing, the Senate has found it necessary to add to its numbers a Senior, and to hold sessions regu- larly once a week, besides special ones, in order to do justice to the tasks imposed upon it. Splendid co-operation was given the Senate on the part of the faculty and the students in its efforts to stand for the highest ideals of the College during the past year. The present officers of the Senate are: President, G. T. Schwenning, ’20 Vice-President, C. H. Edwards, ' 21 Secretary, E. R. Elbel, ’20 G. H. Aylesworth, ’23 Judson Ford, ’22 H. G. Carlson, ’20 A.

Yeoman, ’20 123 Dramatics After a period of inaction so long and so profound that many despaired of the possibility of a resurrection, the dramatic arts were revived with added glory and vigor in the splendid production of Bernard Shaw’s melodrama, “The Devil’s Disciple,” which was presented by the Dramatic Club before a large audience on February 7. In spite of the handicap of an inadequate stage, a total lack of lighting facil- ities, and a feather-brained contingent scattered throughout the audience, the play was put across with a power and a sheer brilliancy of acting which were irre- sistible. The effect both as a whole and in particular was that of an unusual play unusually well presented. The principals thoroughly entered into the spirit of their parts, and the acting was natural, convincing, and inspiring. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the coaches and men responsible for the high degree of dramatic excellence maintained throughout the piece. It sets a new standard for future productions of this kind to aim at. The work of Paul Otto as Richard Dudgeon — whose character gives the piece its name — was particularly noteworthy. He played the part with just the right air of recklessness, dash, and headstrong frankness. R. R. Bowman as Judith Anderson gave an impressive performance. Starting with a rather color- less and unconvincing portrayal of the leading feminine role he worked up in the climax to an abandon and dramatic force which w r ere nothing less than thrill- ing. H. H. Langer played a strong part as Anthony Anderson, the Presbyterian minister, and made this character a forceful, lively, and natural personage. As General Burgoyne, H. R. Seaman was excellent. His appearance, his voice, and his manner were all that could be desired, though it seemed to us that he was once or twice at a loss for his lines. C. G. Hewett and W. B. Chase, as Christy, the foolish brother, and Essie, the fear-stricken waif, had parts of unusual diffi- culty, which they handled with remarkable skill and effect. The impersona- tions of A. G. Jeffrey as the sergeant and John Merwin as the lawyer were fine. Jeff’s gorgeous uniform and soldierly way of meeting situations was one of the bright spots of the performance. As the Misses Dudgeon, Robbins and Stout were more shapely, shy, and satin-skinned than half a dozen Winter Garden stars. The other characters were all well enacted. The costuming was equal to anything which Court Square has ever shown, and added not a little to the effect of the piece. The thanks of the school must be expressed to Mrs. Otto and Professor Hyde for their arduous and faithful work as coaches. It was due to them in a large measure that the play was so successful. Theirs was a hard task which receives little recognition from the general public, but they have the satisfaction of know- ing that their efforts did much to create what all of us feel will remain a landmark in Springfield College dramatics for a long time to come. 124 The Devil’s Disciple THE CAST Mrs. Dudgeon, Essie, Christy Dudgeon, Anthony Anderson, presbyterian minister, Judith Anderson, his wife, Lawyer Hawkins, William Dudgeon, senior uncle, Titus Dudgeon, junior uncle, Mrs. William Dudgeon, Mrs. Titus Dudgeon, Richard Dudgeon, The Sergeant, Major Swindon, General Burgoyne, The Army Chaplain, Soldiers, Officers, Townspeople, .

It is an art to be able to win the respect and confidence of men by your personal contacts with them. Two of the greatest assets of this are poise and conversation. Men who are leaders in any capacity must have poise and the ability to present their ideas and activ- ities in a clear, concise manner, not only in group meetings but in personal con- ferences with influential men. There may be times when they will be called upon to present their policy or to defend their work. At such time they must be able to think clearly and quickly; and then present their ideas in an orderly, concise manner. Only by actual practice can they hope to acquire some degree ot efficiency along these lines. The Literary Societies of Springfield College offer the student this opportunity of practice and more too, they offer a social and cultural life which in many cases is a determining factor in aiding the men to find themselves. During the past year the Literary Societies have made worthy progress in reawakening the interest of Springfield men in the various society activities. In the early years of the College the urgent need of training in public speak- ing was keenly felt. In order to meet this need several Literary Societies were formed, these being the Lee, International, and McKinley. The Philomathean Society was formed in 1908, but it was not until the following year that the Literary Societies were brought under the supervision of the Literary Committee, the chairman of which was made a member of the Student Association Cabinet. So in this way the Literary Societies became a part of student life and more closely a part of the Association. In the year 1914 the Weidensall Literary Society, named after the founder of county work, was organized. At first only county work men were admitted, but later its membership was opened to all. WEIDENSALL LITERARY SOCIETY President, ( . S. Leonard V ice-President, A. T. Noren Secretary, W. B. Chase Treasurer, B. S. Tandy 126 McKinley literary society President, C. H. Edwards Vice-President, L. H. Watson Secretary-Treasurer, R. C. Scott, Jr. During the war period there was not the demand for literary activities and the societies sank into a state of coma. One society, the youngest, the Weiden- sall, came through this period with a small, active membership. With the return of former Springfield men the three other societies picked up new strength, gathered a new membership around their loyal nucleus, awakening again an interest in literary pursuits. So the International, with its mixed membership, including many foreign students, and the McKinley and Philomathean societies revived, while the Weidensall continued with its strong personnel, proving the reawakened interest. These societies have held many profitable meetings during the year. The men have enjoyed the various programs of short talks, both prepared and ex- temporaneous, the book reviews, and the mock trials. There have been Open Forums and inter-society debates, besides union meetings of all the societies, addressed by various faculty members. Interspersed with these have been mu- sicals, co-ed socials, and dances which have given each society the chance to form itself into a more united group of friends. The outstanding feature of the year ' s work was the inter-society debates. In the first set of these battles the McKinley drew the affirmative against the International negative, on the question: “ Resolved , That physical training would be a more beneficial part of the compulsory curriculum of high schools and col- leges than military training.” The team upholding the affirmative was composed of Messrs. Watson, Christian, and Andrews. The negative unit was Messrs. Moench, Mattocks, and Patrick, who fought well, but lost to the McKinley team. In the other preliminary debate the Weidensall drew affirmative and was pitted against the Philomathean, which upheld the negative side of the question: ” Resolved , That the jitney is a necessary vehicle in passenger transportation.” The able debaters ot the affirmative team were Messrs. Tandy, Downs, and La 127 PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY President, F. S. Mathewson Vice-President, H. B. Fulton Secretary-Treasurer, J. C. Ford Point, while their keen opponents were Messrs. Spencer, Fulton, and Conklin- This debate, too, was well fought, but the Philomathean went down to defeat before the Weidensall team. The winners of these two debates crossed swords in a test of forensic ability on March 1. It was indeed a keen test and showed well the argumentative qualities of each speaker. The team work of each side stood out so clearly that up to the time of the rebuttal it was difficult to decide which side had the advantage. The question here was one of national policy, being: “Resolved, That the United States Government should own and operate a Merchant Marine commensurate with its trade.” Flere the McKinley drew the affirmative and the Weidensall the negative side of the question. The former side was maintained by Messrs. Watson, Bradley, and Andrews, while the latter was upheld by Messrs. Tandy, La Point, and Downs. It was found to be a close contest when the judges’ decision was rendered, the affirmative team, represent- ing the McKinley Society, winning the honors by two points. These inter- society debates create a society spirit and a spirit of rivalry between the soci- eties which stimulate their efforts to surpass one another. The men have been able to gain more poise and ability to think while ad- dressing an audience in this year’s practical work. Each of the societies has been greatly assisted by the willing help and interest of the faculty critics, both in their individual activities and in their union meetings. Professor Campbell has been with the Weidensall, Doctor Ball with the International, Professors Cheney and McCarthy with the Philomathean, and Professor Wade with the McKinley. Their aid has been invaluable to the men of the societies, and the men wish to express their sincere thanks to them. WINNERS OF INTER-SOCIETY DEBATES The societies are now looking forward to the closing features of the year’s work and beyond to that of next year, when, with the impetus gained this year, they will be able to revive their sister society, the Lee, and open new lines of literary work. With the reawakened interest in literary pursuits it would be possible for them to enter a team in the field ot inter-collegiate debate. INTERNATIONAL LITERARY SOCIETY President, R. C. Begg Vice-President, W. T. Osborne Treasurer, H. A. Mountain Secretary, T. Richardson 129 The Musical Clubs 1919-20 This has, indeed, been a musical year at Springfield. If any one doubts this statement, let him but consider the weird noises which have emanated from different parts of the dorm, at all hours of the day and night. And who has not noticed the spirit of keen vocal competition between the various tables at Woods Hall during the dull moments at meals? It has seemed to be the general rule that wherever two or three have been gathered together, there — there was an attempt at harmony.” The clubs the past year have consisted of a glee club, a varsity quartet, and an embryo freshman quartet. While fewer in numbers than in years past, these clubs have done much to raise the standard ot Springfield’s musical pro- ductions, and have carried to a successful completion a much heavier and more varied schedule than ever before attempted. The quality of their work, espe- cially of the quartet, is shown by the number of repeated engagements, and by the many compliments received. It can be truly said that Springfield is now ready to take its rightful place among New England colleges in the field of mu- se, as it has done so admirably in the past in the field of athletics. About fifty men answered first call for candidates. Of these, thirty were considered to have voices of sufficient caliber to be given further trial. As the season progressed this number was reduced to eighteen, through a process of the survival of the fittest. The club was well supplied with first class enter- tainers, Messrs. Wang and Chase delighting audiences with their sleight-of-hand performances and Mr. Alden contributing readings and a novelty act of electric club swinging. The quartet was under the management of Mr. C. S. Leonard. With the aid of Professor Hyde, four men of unusual ability anti versatility in handling both heavy and light pieces, as well as in solo work, were chosen. They have proved the mainstay of the Glee Club, and in carrying out their own varied schedule, have been enthusiastically received at every appearance. Their serv- ice to industrial plants in anti around Springfield has been a big feature of their year’s work. Through the thoughtfulness and generosity of Mr. Montague of the Class of ' 21, the Musical Committee was made the recipient of a complete set of band instruments. When Mr. Montague was with the Y. M. C. A. in France he did not forget his Alma Mater. An attempt was made to develop a brass band for use at athletic meets, but, owing to the lack of adequate leadership and of advanced musicians, the idea had to be given up for the present season. 130 Towards the latter part of the season the Freshman quartet made its appear- ance. We venture to say that it is the best class quartet which Springfield has yet boasted. It will no doubt prove the source of the coming varsity quartet, which organization loses two of its members by graduation this year. As in years past, the Musical Clubs Committee and each individual member of the clubs owe a great debt to Professor Hyde lor his faithful and untiring efforts on their behalf. It is needless to say that without his able coaching and leadership the successful season just passed would have been impossible. We all look forward to many more seasons under his expert guidance. The outlook for next year is bright. A large per cent of the members of the present clubs will return next year, and, with a large entering class to draw from, all should be well. We may all face the future with high aspirations and firm confidence. Glee Club Schedule November 19 . Armory “Y” Hut November 25 . . Three Rivers Social Center December 7 . . Holyoke V. M. C. A.

Samson glf:e CLUB 132 The Student In the year 1899 there appeared on the campus an anonymous publication under the name of “Nobody’s Business.” It was a typewritten form and was placed in the hands of the students every week. This was published for five years, at which time for some unknown reason it vanished from sight. During the following years many publications were started but each had only a short life. In an effort to secure some sort of representative voice for the stu- dents it was arranged to publish a record of the activities along with the Associ- ation Seminar. However, in 1909, through the efforts of Editor C. K. Brown and his associates, the two were separated, the Student appearing as a publica- tion in itself independent of the Seminar. With the aid of a four hundred dollar appropriation from the Student Association this work was given a good financial basis. It was published monthly and was an endeavor to portray as accurately as possible student life on the campus. This aim has been carried out through- out the following years. It was only after due deliberation and investigation that the Student was changed to a weekly issue in 1916. The paper still retained the purpose of its predecessors in that it desired to give to the students all the activities and events of the College year of both students and alumni. The Student was discontinued during the two war years, but in September, 1919, with the return of many of the old men, a desire for its reappearance was expressed, so a staff was appointed and the Student as a living organism had again found its rightful place on our campus. Much praise is due to the staff for so efficiently reestablishing the paper and laying the foundation for a better publication next year. As a weekly paper it has been a success in practically every way. Of course it is impossible to print literary articles, such as are published in a monthly, because of the lack of space. Nevertheless, the men are encouraged to submit poems and short stories which lend themselves to restricted space. The Student now faces a year of great possibilities for it has a place in the lives of the men and ought to play an important part in molding the thoughts and ideals of our campus to a higher plane. It is the instrument, more than any other, that can portray what the Springfield Spirit is and ought to be. 133 1919- 1920 Editorial Staff Wesley G. Spencer, ’20, Editor-in-Chief Robert J.

Hilde- brandt and others, Springfield began to broaden her interests in foreign mission- ary work. The start came when a desire arose among the students to see Spring- field take her place alongside other colleges at the various conferences, or at one in particular. A financial campaign, run off by them among the whole student body and faculty, and in the home churches, resulted in the raising of a sufficient amount of money to send twenty-six men (twenty-one of whom are in the above picture) as delegates to the Eighth International Student Volunteer Conven- tion at Des Moines, Iowa, from December 29 to January 4. Interest was intensified when these twenty-six men returned from that greatest of conferences, where were gathered over seven thousand and five hun- dred college students and missionaries from all over the world, for they had caught a vision of the world’s need and were eager to tell others of it. Many were active for some time after their return, speaking in scores of the city churches and in their home towns. An attempt was very soon made to organize the group of delegates into some permanent form for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of each in spreading the information of the conference. The thought came to the leaders in this, that to include in such an organization all of the students in College, who were anticipating work in the foreign field, or who had any interest in such a line of endeavor, would be a step in the right direction. 137 Consequently, on March 1, a meeting of all men interested was called and The Foreign Missionary Club organized, with Alfred W. Jones, ’21, as presi- dent, Arthur T. Noren, ’21, as vice-president, and LeRoy B. Twist, ’22, as sec- retary and treasurer. The membership was almost double that of the original conference group. It is believed that such a club as this will do much to fill a much-felt need at Springfield in the future, in interesting and enlisting men for foreign work and in creating among the entire student body a genuine regard for the well being of any of our sons who go to the foreign field. An instance of the campus-wide interest in missions was demonstrated during a “Foreign Work Institute” in March, when the student body, entirely on its own initiative, raised a sum of $400 for the work of A. C. Aguirre, 13, in Mexico. NIK DORM FROM THE I.AKK The County Work Group The County Work Course, which was instituted at Springfield in 1914, is a four-year course of study which prepares men for work among men and boys in rural communities. Three years, the first two and the last, are spent at Springfield, where courses in Rural Sociology, Rural Economics, Rural Institu- tional Life, and History and Methods of county work are given in addition to the regular secretarial and physical studies. The third year is spent at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. Here the students are given thorough courses in subjects relating directly to the organization and development of rural community lite and in addition have practically their pick of the college curriculum for studies in which they are specially interested. The course is under the direction of Prof. Walter J. Campbell, M.A., a grad- uate of both Princeton University and Princeton Theological Seminary, and a man of fourteen years’ practical experience in the rural field. He is chairman of the Committee on Leadership Training of the American Country Life Associa- tion, and a member of the Commission in Church and Country Life of the Fed- eral Council of the Churches of Christ in America. For the past year Professor Campbell has been connected with the League to Enforce Peace, as Rural Ex- tension Secretary. At present there are seventeen students taking the County Course, six of whom are planning to begin their junior year at M. A. C. this September. The prospects are bright for a large entering class in the fall. 139 Kuckeye Club Springfield College lias a most attractive power over the men in the Ohio state, which is proved by the fact that for the last three years there has been in the College a strong organization of men from this state. I ' he club welcomes all men from Ohio and endeavors to provide an opportunity tor fellowship and friendship with the men from their native state. The object of the club is to encourage men from this state to attend Springfield and to welcome and afford them a fellowship that will make their stay here one of profit and interest. A program of events with this end in view is carried on during the year. Members C. H. Graham L. L. Rockhili. F. J. Civiletto H. T. McMichael A. L. Johnson H. J.

M. C. A.’s, was felt necessary. With this incentive in view the “Nutmeg Club” was organized. It is also the aim of the club to render, whenever possible, advice and serv- ice to the state for the improvement of its physical educational program and its school systems. Officers President, C.

Its purpose is to promote closer fellowship and comradeship among the Massachusetts men; to interest more Bay State men in the College; to hold social affairs; to promote athletic teams to meet teams of other clubs. The members of this club are justly proud that their Alma Mater is situated in their home state and are determined that the Native Sons shall do all in their power to further her interests and to extend her field of service. They are, therefore, united to foster a spirit of brotherhood and loyalty which shall permeate through- out the student body and thus aid in accomplishing this end. Officers President, Clinton S. Leonard Vice-President, Herbert L. Patrick Secretary-Treasurer, Harold I..

This purpose has thereby been so well fulfilled that the men from the state have perpetuated this organization, until this year every student from Pennsylvania is a member of the home state club. The club pays for the subscription of one of the leading papers of the state, which is sent to the College library. It meets once a week with a good lively program, which usually consists of a discussion of some state problem. As a result of this each man is becoming better acquainted with the activities of the state. We aim also to interest Keystone state men in the opportunities of Spring- field College, and to unite the men already here in an organization which will keep them in contact with each other and with their home state. The club has a bright future considering the good men that are coming to the College each year from Pennsylvania. Officers President, R. U. Cooper Secretary-Treasurer, D. D.

I his was the first such organization to rep- resent New jersey in this College. At this meeting thirty men from all parts of the state became members. The primary motive for forming this club was to establish relations between the New Jersey men at the College and the state heads of the V. M. C. A. secretarial and physical departments, the public school physical department, and the Boy Scout officials of the state. Correspondence between the club and these state heads is being carried on in an endeavor to keep our Jerseyites in touch with New Jersey affairs and to have our New Jersey stu- dents placed in the positions which are open in that state.

M. C. A.’s. The aim of the club is to interest Empire State men and lay before them the opportunities of Springfield College and to provide for the men already in College an opportunity for fellowship and friendship that will make their stay here one of profit and interest. A program with this end in view is to be carried on during the year and big results are being looked forward to in the future.

The club holds several social events during the year. The final event of the season is the “Beefsteak Breakfast Up-the-Lake,” when the officers for the ensuing year are elected.

Its purpose is twofold: first, to create a social life among all men from Rhode Island at the College, and, second, to interest prospective students from Rhode Island in “Old Springfield.” The Rhode Island State Club was the first state club to organize this year and holds the unique distinction of having every member an officer.

During the years 1917-1919 the society disbanded, owing to the lack of British students. Five of the old members returned in the fall of 1919, and with the addition of eight new students the society again began to function. Officers Vice-President, L . J. Judd President, P. A.

With the oncoming war conditions th e interest was dropped and no definite organization was planned. During the war there was no organi- zation. The club now has the largest membership in the history of its organi- zation. over thirty members being enrolled. At present five or six men in Col- lege have petitions in for membership, either in the Springfield Lodge or at their homes. Five of our members will have received the thirty-second degree by June, three members have gone York Rite, three will have taken the Shrine by June. An effort is being made to have the club enrolled in the chain of other Col- lege Masonic Clubs, and already favorable communications have been received. A number of speakers have addressed the club members; this included present masters of the Blue Lodges in Springfield and the officers of other Masonic bodies in the city. An unusual good feeling has been developed between the College C lub and the local Masonic bodies; many invitations have been received for the many Masonic functions being carried on during the College year. Many of the Col- lege Club members have taken advantage of the club in the temple and several have taken out membership in the club. The Shrine Club has also extended invitations to the Mystic Shriners in the College. Officers President, Hubert E. Cover Vice-President, Arthur E.
