Ours is not the power to prevent, even to delay, that conflict; ours is only hope: May those forces triumph which in the final analysis will best serve humanity. ' ' The Editor. The MASSASOIT 1939 S SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE at SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS Foreword And, when the stream Which overflowed the soul was passed away, A consciousness remained that it had left Deposited upon the silent shore Of memory, images and precious thoughts That shall not die, and cannot be destroyed.

Aquatic Club r I ' ' HE AQUATIC CLUB was unknown to the campus until the Fall of this school year when it was formed largely through the efforts of Richard Pohndorf, ' 39. It was organized in an attempt to further the interest in aquatics on the campus, but has so extended its social influence that it has become in many ways the nirmber one club of this school year.

Faced with the problem of keeping 18 robust young men interestedly occupied during the winter term when their activities were confined to indoor exercise, Dr. Naismith set out to fashion a game sufficiently engaging yet not too rough. The basic assumption on which he worked was that a new game must needs be a new combination of old patterns. First, he decided that inasmuch as tackling was necessary to stop a man running with the ball, the ball must be thrown to be advanced down the floor. Secondly, he concluded that the ball must be thrown at a goal of some sort, since a goal on the floor was too easily guarded, a box suspended above the floor was agreed upon. However, in the absence of a suitable box, peach baskets became the goals, which were nailed to the gymnasium railing ten feet from the floor Thus the first basketball game was played by twenty-two men, eleven on a side, with a soccer ball which was advanced down the floor by passing, no dribbling allowed, the object being to score a goal by tossing the ball into a peach basket. The game was an immediate success as far as the eighteen students were concerned, and in April of 1892 was given space in the New York Times as the ' new game that was being played in gymnasiums that spring. Y secretaries became interested and made inquiries about the game. So it was that the game was introduced respectively at Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, the University of Iowa, and the University of Kansas when Dr Naismith went to that institution in the fall of 1898. And so the game spread DR. JAMES NAISMITH Class of ' 91 For forty-seven years the game has undergone ex pansion and is now being played by young men and women all over the world, beside which it is being enjoyed by old and young alike. Although the thirteen rules with which the game was originally played have been expanded into a book of rules covering the most minute detail, basketball as it is played today is fundamentally the same as the game as first played by Dr, Naismith ' s peach-basket hangers. [ 123 ] Yff.£li4ci-A out. This feature on basketball has been presented in honor of Coach Hickox who for the past twelve years has been head coach of basketball. Since he took over the reins in 1927 he has turned out four New England Champions and his complete record has been one that would do honor to any coach. During that period his teams have won 159 games while losing only 57. Reluctantly we forfeit the privilege of his association, for he has captured and continues to hold our respect; not only is he a fine coach, but more than that, he is the embodiment of many of the ideals we, as men, have set up for ourselves.

Chorus For old Springfield, for old Springfield, We ' ll score away And win the day For Springfield.

For old Springfield, for old Springfield, We ' ll score away And win the day For Springfield. ALMA MATER Now raise a song for Springfield, Let hearts and voices blend To celebrate her praises, Whose fame shall have no end; While fellowship makes holy, While eager hope elates, And visioned men come thronging Her spacious gates. May victory descending E ' er keep her banners bright, And dye with new effulgence Our rare Maroon and White; Bring fairness with thee winging, And energy to dare, Together shall ye guardian Her fields so fair. Earthwide may happy boyhood Lift high his wond ' ring eyes, Strong youths bring back the vision Of earthly paradise. To follow truth to wisdom, Nor faint thru falt ' ring fears — Be this thy task, O Springfield, Thru all the years. SHOW ME THE SCOTCHMAN Show me the Scotchman who doesn ' t love the thistle; Show me the Englishman who doesn ' t love the rose; Show me the true-hearted son of old Springfield Who doesn ' t love the spot (1 1 !)
