Wilbur did his utmost throughout a long life for the uplift of his fellow men ; as Secretary of the Advancement Committee of the Society of Friends, he devoted many years to increasing the knowledge and ■ application of Friends ' principles, and gave the chief impulse to the founding of the Friends ' School for Religious and Social Training, now located in the John Wool- man House in Swarthmore ; as a speaker before Swarthmore College audiences on many occasions, he endeared himself to his hearers by his regard for edu- cation, his clear insight into human nature, his broad sympathies, his keen wit and kindly humor, and by his profound and outspoken reverence for the Divine Goodness in heaven, on earth, and within the souls of his fellow men. He lived in a house by the side of the road, And xcas a friend to man. Page Nine THE mWfO OF THE COLLEGE Iowa-Nebraska Jesse ENTLE READER: We ' ve all heard of Kansas-Nebraska Bill ; let me now say a word or 2 to thee about our own Iowa-Nebraska Jesse. I. We are told that loTva signifies, in the Indian language, The Abode of Peace. Two distinguished Democrats are connected forever with that great State, — Thomas Jefferson, who in 1 803 added Iowa to our union by the Louisiana Pur- chase, and Jesse Herman Holmes, who was born in this abode of peace in the far-off year 1 864, in the village of West Liberty, noted for its windmills. Whether it was these windmills, or the fact that I.-N. Jesse attended college in Wm. J. Bryan ' s home-state, or both, that gave him his eloquence, — history does not record ; but I note that on the map, his birth-county is shaded green, and that many poetical names do abound in that fair and fortunate County of Muscatine, — such names as Wapsinonoc, melodious Montpelier, Fruitland, Sweetland, beautiful Ardon, and charming Atalissa of romantic name. How, then, can our hero be blamed for his oratory and for his poetic character, he whose childhood fancy was fed upon Indian legends and the stories and ballads of the frontier, he whose ear was early attuned to nature ' s harmonies by: ( I ) The rhythmic tread of the roving bisons that herded on the mighty pampas and the vast savannas abutting upon West Liberty; and (2) By the rolling waters of the Mississippi, whose turbid silver flood (washing the eastern confines of the emerald-tinted county aforesaid) may almost be seen by an as- siduous and soulful lad who clambers to the top of the loftiest of the windmills of West Liberty; — I say, how can he be blamed? and I also say Nil nisi bonum (these last words being from the Latin). II. From those remote early days to his present proud eminence as Dedicatee of the Halcyon (an honor, by the way, for which he had to wait some years longer than did the writer of this sketch), the career of Jesse Herman Holmes is well known (and I may say favorably known) to all good Democrats and to many others. Be it related to thee. Gentle Reader, that he graduated at the University of Nebraska in his twentieth summer ; that he browsed and dreamed in the library there for another year ; and that in 1890 he was made Phil-o-sophi-ae Doctor by Johns Hopkins University; and that, best of all, in the year 1 892 he joined the ranks of old Swarthmore ' s sons-in-law by marrying Rebecca S. Webb, ex- ' 89. From now on, his success in engrafting his Western ideals upon our effete East, is a story that covers his years of teaching at the Washington Friends School, at George School, and since 1 900 at Swarthmore College. What all this means for Democracy, for Ethics, for the Societ} ' of Friends, is beyond my powers of appraisal. I am content to leave it to future historians; and so, I opine, is the genial Jesse. HI. Look upon his portrait. Gentle Reader, at the front of this Halcyon. Is it not a speaking likeness ? — although it was taken in one of those rare moments when he was not speaking. Page Ten THE micros or mn THE COtLBGE Our dear friend is a Democrat; he is a Single Tax advocate; he is a sympathizer with Suffragists; he is in general a Fearless Champion. Some people even call him a Quaker. But whatsoever we call him, Jesse Holmes careth not, not he, — just so long as we don ' t call him a Republican ! IV. To recapitulate : — from Iowa, That land of waters, winds, and buffalo. He came by way of wide Nebraska ' s plains And classic shades of culture, to the East, To Baltimore and eke to Washington, — This Democratic Western Quaker youth — And settled finally at old Swarthmore, Where, after many years of faithful teaching And fruitful eloquence anad friendly deeds. He reaches now the height of his career. The dedication of this Book to him By Nineteen-Sixteen ' s kind and genial Class. V. William Penn once uttered some pithy and rememberable words about George F ox. Let me now, in bidding thee farewell. Gentle Reader, use them here for the sub- ject of this sketch: In all things he acquitted himself lil e a man, pea a strong man, a neXD and heavenly-minded man; a divine and a naturalist, and all of God Almighty ' s making. ' J. R. H., ' 88. Page Eleven THE miOfO OF ISK THE COLLEGE ■rwn Page Tivehe THE COLLEGE The Present College Year HIS year, while not marked by much material advance, is no exception to the fact that each year finds Swarthmore more fully equipped to give to students in college better education under better conditions than ever before. The laboratories and libraries have had substantial additions in apparatus and books. A nevy walk has been built from the station to Whar- ton Hall. A new water lilter has been erected, so that not only the Springfield water supply, but the water from our own plant, is wholesome for all purposes, including drinking. The farmhouse has been refitted and transformed into a neat, comfortable, small infirmary. This is one of the additions that we wish we might never have use for, but experience has taught us that it is wise to be prepared to take care of contagious disease. A small tract of land on the north of the college ground has been purchased to straighten that boundary. The smoke nuisance, caused by the use of soft coal at the heating and lighting_ plant, has been removed by changing the equipment in the powerhouse and the use of hard coal. Two bequests have been made to the college during the past year: One of $5,000 from the late William C. Smith, of Saratoga Springs, New York; and one of $500 from the late Mary Lewis, of Media, Pennsylvania. A new athletic field has been located east of Chester Road and west of College Avenue, and $10,000 have been subscribed toward the erection of a grandstand, grading, filling, and other necessary improvements. The continued raising of standards, both for admission and work in college, is evi- dent. The mid-term reports of the first semester indicate that both preparation for entrance and the grade of work done during the term are of a higher order. We have at this time a larger list of applicants for future years than ever before. The alumni and others are now having the names of their children placed on the ap- plication list at a very early age, and often many years before they are ready for col- lege. The parents of one family recently entered five children. Such a condition is hopeful in securing standards of character and scholarship. The college grows stronger in its facidty each year, by the retention of growing men and women of the faculty, and by adding younger teachers of a similar type. We have to record, however, a loss during the past year, through the retirement of Dr. George A. Hoadley, who has been a tower of strength to Swarthmore for many years. Dr. Harvey Cornelius Hayes, of the Harvard faculty, has been appointed to the Chair of Physics. One of the incidents connected with the retirement of Doctor Hoadley is the trans- fer of the Department of Electrical Engineering from the Department of Physics to that of Engineering, in charge of Dr. George F. Blessing; Civil, Mechanical, and Electri- cal Engineering are now under his direction. Dr. William I. Hull, Professor of History and International Relations, was given sabbatical leave of absence during the present year. The policy of giving teachers such leave of absence is manifesting itself in the larger usefulness of the teaching force. It is a compliment both to Swarthmore and to Dr. Benjamin F. Battin, Professor of German, that he has, with the consent of the Managers of Swarthmore, accepted a call from the Carnegie Church Foundation, to spend this year in Europe in the interests of International Peace. The student life is growing more wholesome from year to year. Several customs have been modified or abolished. The contest between the Freshmen and Sophomores, Page Thirteen THE mic THE COLLEGE s: p i -: ;i; i wa? Si5 ?-«fe Page Fourteen THE COLLEGE due to the Freshmen endeavoring to secure a class picture, and an equally strenuous en- deavor of the Sophomores to prevent it, has been abolished by the students themselves. Several other regulations made by the students indicate an increased responsibilit} ' on the part of the students and better organized student action, and show decided results for the beneht of all concerned. The more nearly a college community becomes a pure democracy, with teachers as older brothers and sisters of more experience and knowledge simply leading the way, the better it is for the students of the college. The 3 ' ear has witnessed the retirement, at his own request, of Isaac H. Clothier, as President of the Board of Managers, and the election to this position of Robert M. Janney. Isaac H. Clothier will remain on the Board and continue to give to it his in- valuable services. Robert M. Janney in recent years has been closely identified vi-ith all the work of the Board, under the leadership of Mr. Clothier, and Mr. Janney is to have the counsel and support of the former President in all that pertains to the welfare of the college. We have had several distinguished guests to speak at the college during the pres- ent year. Among them are the following: James Allen Baker, M.P., of London, Eng- land; Dr. James Alexander MacDonald, Editor of the Toronto Globe, Toronto, Canada; and Dr. David Starr Jordan, Chancellor of Stanford University, California. We have the promise of an address from John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, at some time during the present year; and ex-President Taft has promised to deliver the Commencement address in June, 1915. The long list of publications and addresses by the faculty of Swarthmore shows the large, demand for their services by the general public, and a commendable growth and activity in research and scholastic achievement. A Committee of the Board has been appointed to secure plans for the building of the third and last section of Wharton Hall. Joseph Wharton left by bequest a sum of money to finish this building. If prices had not been higher than when the first section was built, and nothing had been deducted for an inheritance tax, the $50,000 left for this purpose would have been sufficient. As prices, however, are higher than when the second section was built, and as $5,000 was deducted from the total amount of the be- quest for inheritance tax, it became necessary to wait until the remaining sum had ac- cumulated sufficient interest to complete the building. Bids are now being secured, and if the funds are found to be adequate it is hoped to have the building completed in the fall of 1916. It vyas announced, last Commencement, that the college had received $63,000, the donor for the present being anonymous. This sum is to be used in the erection of a building. The Board has decided to erect a building for Physics and Engineering with this fund, and to place the Department of Zoology in the present Science building. It is hoped that the new building may be erected at an early date. The aim of Swarthmore is to make here a small college, limited to 500 students, of not more than 250 of either sex. It is the aim, by better equipment, better teachers, bet- ter prepared and selected students, to make here each year a better place for young- men and women to grow in knowledge and power. The highest conception of the col- lege is expressed in its motto, Mind the Light. This motto calls upon the students to be faithful, from this day forth to the end of time, to the highest conception of duty which their knowledge and experience and spiritual insight may reveal to them. It is their light which must illumine their path- way, which comes to them through every agency, human and divine, and which their footsteps would follow if they would gain the reward of the faithful sons and daugh- ters of men. That they may, in the province of God, be guided by this light in all the struggles of life, and that they may do their work in their own way, with joy in their hearts and songs on their lips, is the hope and prayer of their well-wisher. Page Fifteen THE miCYOi mn THE COT.r.EGE Page Sixteen THE micros @F ISK THE COT.I EGE Founders ' Day, 1914 OUNDERS ' DAY fell on October Twenty- fourth ' . Unfor- tunately the day was rather cloudy ; but the weather at no time was sufficiently bad to interfere with the exercises. Hun- dreds of Alumni and friends of the College returned to cele- brate the Anniversary, and to the holiday array of students were added trainloads of enthusiastic visitors. The formal celebration began at one-thirty in the after- noon when the classes, led by the Seniors in caps and gowns, marched down the Asphaltum in a double line, and formed a hollow hexagon on the Campus. The column was headed by President Swam, Isaac Clothier, then President of the Board of Managers; Dr. MacDonald, editor of the Toronto Globe and speaker for the occasion ; and J. Allen Baker, Member of Parliament. One of the most interesting features of the procession was the string of Swarthmoreans-to- be following the undergraduates. It was composed of prospective students carrying pen- nants bearing numerals from ' 19 to ' 36, and included a number of little tots scarcely able to make their way alone between the lines of applauding spectators. When the forma- tion was complete, each class sang its song and gave its yell. A departure from custom was instituted this year by the introduction of the Founders ' Day song by the whole stu- dent body, words and music for which were written by Herbert L. Brown, ' 1 6. Shortly after the singing, the exercises were resumed in the out-of-doors auditorium. Isaac Clothier opened the meeting with an appropriate speech introducing Dr. MacDonald. The speaker is a large, powerfully-built orator with a voice eminently adapted to open- air lecturing. He based his address on the war, comparing the deplorable conditions in Europe with the peaceful relations existing between the neighboring nations in America. The theme of the oration was Peace, and as the great audience followed the carefully chosen words disclosing his intimate knowledge of American relations, it was easy to un- derstand why Dr. MacDonald was selected as chief executive of the World Peace Foun- dation. Mr. Baker succeeded the main speaker with a few remarks, and the meeting closed with Alma Mater. The crowd hastened to the gridiron, where the Garnet team defeated Ursinus, 7 to 0. The evening of Founders ' Day was devoted to a play in Collection Hall, a peace drama called In The Vanguard, by Katrina Trask. The cast was made up entirely of students selected after tryouts by the coach, Mrs. Lippincott. Although entirely too didactic for general presentation, it was so ably interpreted that the interest of the audience both in the personnel of the cast and the subject of the drama assured its success at Swarth- more. The plot depicts a young man torn between the old ideals of the warrior and the inore modern ideal of a hero of the durable. At, the outbreak of the war he enKsts, witnesses the horrors of war, and refuses to re-enlist, returning home to be shunned by his townsfolk. One of the few persons who remain faithful to him is a wealthy peace advo- cate who employs the youth to take charge of his affairs. The boy ' s sweetheart finally realizes the truth; they are united; and the play ends happily with the union of the lovers, and the horrors of war still lingering in the minds of the audience.

' 90 IN the fall of 1 869 Swarthmore College opened its doors to students and graduated its first class in June, 1873. On the 8th of May, 1875, a meeting of the classes of ' 73 and ' 74 was held for the purpose of organizing an Alumni Association, and a committee was appointed to draft a constitution. The two classes met again May 29th, 1875, adopted a constitution and elected officers, the President being Maria C. Pierce, and the Secretary, Mary Hibberd. The other officers were as follows: Vice Presidents, Herman Hoopes, Lowndes Taylor, Lizzie C. Miller ; Treasurer, Hetty T. Moore ; Executive Committee, Ferris W. Price, Helen Magill, Ellen H. Evans. The charter of the Association was ob- tained in 1881 and the Association was incorporated Jan- uary 1 6th, 1882. The purpose of this Association is best told in the words of Article II of the Constitution, namely, — The object of this Association shall be to pro- mote union and good feeling among Alumni, and to advance in all proper ways the inter- ests of Swarthmore College. In pursuance of this ideal the Alumni Association has been most keenly interested in many ot the college activities and pressing needs. In September, 1878, William Seaman, Joseph T. Bunting and Edward Martin were appointed on a committee to confer with the Athletic Association of the College to en- courage an increased interest in sports. From this time to the present similar committees have been appointed and the Alumni have aided the college athletics both materially and also by timely encouragement and advice. Soon after the fire in 1881 money was collected for buying books for the library, and about ten years later the Alumni Library Endowment Fund was established. The money contributed toward this was invested, and the income is used annually to purchase new books. The interest of the Alumni Association in the Phoenix has never flagged and there have been Alumni Phoenix Committees and Alumni editors of the Phoenix through- out its career. The Alumni have s hown their loyalty and interest in the college in many ways, work- ing sometimes through the organ of the Association and sometimes individually. Twice in times of financial crisis in the college history the members of the Association pledged themselves to help largely. Several portraits that hang in Parrish Hall are the gift of Alumni and it has become a custom for the classes who come back on Alumni Day to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their graduation to bestow some gift upon their Alma Mater. Page Thirty THE micros OF 1SS( THE COLLEGE For many years the Alumni business meeting was held on the afternoon of Commence- ment Day and the banquet which welcomed the graduating class to the company of Alumni occurred the evening of the same day. Occasionally, when there was some special reason for doing so, an invitation was extended to all ex-members of graduated classes as well as to the graduates of the college to attend this Alumni banquet and in 1 905 it was decided to continue to extend this privilege each year. In 1 906 Alumni Day was established. This day belongs wholly to the Alumni and all the activities of the day are carried on by them. Class re-unions are held, class gifts are presented to the college, there is a business meeting where many things pertaining to the welfare of the college are considered, games are played, and last but not least, there is the dmner in honor of the graduating class where most inspiring speeches for the betterment and advancement of the college are delivered, as there are among the Alumni and ex-students men and women who possess the happy faculty of expressing their loyalty and the loyalty of the whole body of Swarthmoreans in a most effective way.

Surprising it would be if this hustling crowd had not organized a club of their own ; it dates from 1 904, when ex-President Magill came to Chicago to help send it off. If we were weighed as well as counted, we think Chris Bockius, ' 10, in the upper right-hand corner of the picture, would help some. So with all Western Swarthmoreans ; they are weighty citizens of whatever burg they have consented to reside in, and they always count on the right side. The scholars that the club has sent down to Delaware County have none of them disappointed our expectations; they were all first-class timber who took kindly to College life and after graduation turned in and helped boost the Western Club. To discover and drag into the lime-light young men and women like these has been more of a pleasure and privilege than a duty, and we claim no great credit for it. The credit is theirs ; they have appreciated the opportunity and their success is the club ' s best advertisement. This Western Club is still in its infancy, ten years hence we expect to have six hun- dred Mind the Lighters in our territory with an annual banquet at the Hotel Sherman, Chicago. Even now we are looking for a Palladium which shall equal in sacred authen- ticity the famous Sabrina of Amherst or the celebrated Prexy ' s Tile which once a year graces the festive board at the Bellevue-Stratford. Everybody comes to Chicago sooner or later, except the kind that conceive of the city as situated upon Lake Huron. President Swain and Vice President Miller often run out here over night, and one or more Swarthmore instructors or honor students are always in residence at the University. This state of things is bound to grow. Needless to say the club wants to know it when Swarthmoreans come to town, and to prove it, here are the ' phone numbers of the officers: Midway 2140, Central 527, Midway 800. Call us up.

Page Thirty-three THE microti OF ISK THE COLLEGE Trenton Swarthmore Club HE Trenton Swarthmore Club is an organization of the Swarthmoreans lo- cated in Trenton, N. J., formed primarily for the purpose of furnishing a scholarship in Swarthmore College to the preparatory schools in Trenton and vicinity. The organization offers yearly a full, free competitive honor scholarship of $400 which is awarded to the most worthy male applicant from the neighboring territory, which includes seven of the most prominent preparatory schools with- in a radius of ten miles. The requirements of application are based somewhat on those of the Rhodes Scholar- ship, and embrace scholarship, character, moral force, and physical development. The purpose of the award is to secure and to induce men from, that vicinity to enter Swarth- more, the aim of the committee being to attract and develop all-around men, since no par- ticular stress is given to any one line of activity.

Page Thirty-four HE Swarthmore Club of New York was organized at a meeting of Swarthmore men held at the Aldine Club, New York City, in March, 1913. The Clu b, with its present organization, was the outgrowth of informal gatherings which had been held annually since 1908. There was a demand for one or more meet- ings a year where Swarthmore men could get together without formality and without a set programme. These meetings were usually well attended, the register showing from 50 to 60 present on each occasion. Since 1913 two meetings have been held annually, in the Spring and Fall. All Swarthmore men, graduates and ex-students, who reside within fifty miles of New York City, are eligible to membership. The annual dues of the Club are two ($-2.00) dollars. The present membership is 98 which is more than 70 per cent, of those eligible. The objects of the Club are primarily social in their nature, to provide an opportunity for Swarthmore men to get together informally and keep up and renew the old friendships. Some entertainment is usually provided and light refreshments are served. The Club has also ser red the important function of keeping its members in touch with the new Swarth- more and alive to the active work being done at the college. Members of the faculty have attended the meetings and given the members a glimpse of the Swarthmore of to-day. Professor Hoadley, Dr. Pearson, Dr. Trotter, Dr. Miller, Dr. Brooks and Dean Alexander have addressed the Club on the occasion of recent meetings. A third object of the Club is the advancement of the College interests in New York by making the College known to prospective students and inducing them to enter Swarth- more. It was also proposed, at one time, that the Club should maintain a scholarship, but this was temporarily abandoned as the time did not seem to be ripe for such a movement. When the Club was organized. Judge Joseph Fitch, ' 79, as elected President, and John P. Broomell, ' 99, -Secretary and Treasurer. The first Board of Governors consisted of: Joseph Fitch, ' 79 Henry C. Turner, ' 93 ■ Edward P. Paemer, ' 06 Frederick A. ' Seaman, ' 83 John P. Broomell, ' 99 ' William K. Krider, ' 09 William D. Dudley, ' 88 Maurice E. Griest, ' 04 J. Ernest Hartman, ' 12 These officers have been re-elected annually until the fall of 1914, at which time the President and Secretary and Treasurer urged that rotation in office was desirable and on this ground declined to serve longer. At that time the following officers were elected for the ensuing year : President ------ Henry C. Turner, ' 93 Secretary and Treasurer - Maurice E. Griest, ' 04 Joseph Fitch, ' 79 Frederick A. Seaman, ' 83 Henry C. Turner, ' 93 Board of Governors William S. Barker, ' 95 John P. Broomell, ' 99 Maurice E. Griest, ' 04 Edward P. Palmer, ' 06 Henry C. Field, ' 09 J.

Good fellow- ship and love of Alma Mater have been the keystone in the arch of the , club ' s continued success. Since 1 899 the club has held without interrup- |N — jJQjj gjj annual meeting and dinner, the Philadelphia association being the only one which has such a record. The dmner this year was held on Feb- ruary 27. The first annual dinner, held on April 14, 1889, was attended by some sixty members. The attendance now averages about one hundred and seventy- five. The club has never had any regular officers, but it is the practice to appoint each year a committee to take charge of the ensuing year ' s meeting and dinner. During his life- time, Mr. Gerrit E. H. Weaver was the moving spirit and chairman of this committee. From the date of his death until 1914, Howard Cooper Johnson acted as chairman. Charles C. Miller is the present chairman.

Is it a game, to be played to win, or is it a college course masquerading as an undergraduate activity? Old debaters will recognize that there is truth in both contentions. In its external aspects it seems to be mainly a game. It is played by two teams with a fixed number of players according to established rules, the object being to attain a definite goal. It is, however, a game in which successful playing has as a prerequisite a great deal of hard work on the part of the individual players. Knowledge of the rules will not suffice. A thorough familiarity with the question under discussion is equally essential. This can only be acquired by hours of reading and thought, the hardest kind of mental work, the value of which is recognized by the college in the granting of hours of credit to those who have completed it satisfactorily. Mens Sana in corpore sana is often quoted as a justification of the athlete and a re- proach to the student, but this is an arbitrary interpretation. The perfect animal with an infantile brain is quite as pitiable as the mental colossus with spindle shanks. Highest efficiency is reached when there is a balance between the physical and intellectual develop- ment. Mens Sana and corpore sana should have equal emphasis and be interpreted along similar lines. A sound body means something more than freedom from disease and physical defect. It involves co-ordination of all the parts, the perfect control and discipline which enables a man to command his leaping muscles and to perform the maximum amount of work with the minimum expenditure of nervous energy. A sound mind means no less. It implies not merely possession of the ordinary mental faculties but the development of mental efficiency, the power of quick and accurate think- ing, of clear analysis and continued concentration. These are the qualities which debating seeks to foster. No man can successfully de- bate the truth of a proposition unless he can first determine upon what fundamental issues the decision will depend. This involves a laying aside of prejudice and a careful scrutiny of both sides of the question. The give and take of the debate requires that the partici- pant must be able to think quickly and keenly. He must be able to see and penetrate the weak places in the adversaries ' argument, to weigh evidence and expose fallacious reason- ing. In other words, he must be equipped for mental self-defense which is quite as im- portant in relation to success in life as physical capability in the same direction. Swarthmore has an honorable record in debating. The Intercollegiate Debating League of Pennsylvania was organized through her initiative in 1 903 and has had a suc- cessful career of friendly competitions in which Swarthmore has earned a full share of vic- tories. The present interest that is displayed in debating promises equal successs for the future. Page One Ttventy-one TME micros OF ISK XOT IN THE CUKRICCLUM The Affirmative Team HE League question this year, Resolved, That the United States should abandon the Monroe Doctrine, has been interesting, but the affirmative team, Hugh Den- worth. Wesley Matson, and Clarence Myers, have found their side to be the un- popular one. The team journeyed to Dickinson March fifth and in a warm contest were defeated by Robert B. Kistler, Leonard G. Hagner, and Homer M. Respass. The solid block of Dickinson men stretching through the long hall kept spirit high throughout the contest and the college orchestra livened the minutes while the judges. Prof. John H. Frizzell of Philadelphia, Prof. E. V. Hiester of Franklin and Marshall College, and Principal Ezra Lehman of Shippensburg Normal School, were making their decision. The following Friday ev ening the affirmative team made its first appearance at home, this time meeting George S. Sexton, A. B. Farmer, and B. W. Barnard of Trinity Col- lege, Durham, N. C. They were worthy opponents indeed, but that the affirmative team came back with a vengeance may be inferred from the unanimous decision in favor of Swarthmore rendered by Dr. Frederick B. Robinson, College of the City of New York, George Eves, Esq., of Reading, Pa., and Mr. Lincoln Passmore of Philadelphia, the judges for the contest. Dr. Bald ' win of the Department of Education presided. Trinity was defeated this year for the first time in four years, so the achievement cannot be counted a mean victory. As we go to press an affirmative team composed of Denworth. Shrode, and Myers, is preparing to meet Juniata College at Huntington, Pa., on April thirtieth. As Juniata has never been defeated on her own floor, a spirited debate is in store for the Garnet. Page One Tziienty-tzvo THE micros Qf ISK XOT IN THE CIKRICULUSI The Negative Team HE home season in debating opened on March fifth when Carl Shrode, Paul Cun- cannon, and Horace Gregg met the Dickinson affirmative team on the question of the abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine. A new era in debating was begun at Swarthmore, for the crowd was probably the largest that has ever attended a debate in Collection Hall, and the spirit shown was greater than ever before. The Dickinson men, William W. Edell, Michael F. Davis, and Gaither Warfield, ably presented their con- tentions and the final decision was an open question until after the last word had been spoken. The judges for the evenmg. Dr. Erastus Palmer of the College of the City of New York, Prof. Carl Altmaier of Drexel Institute, Dr. F. A. Child of the University of Pennsylvania, rendered an unanimous decision in favor of Swarthmore. The fine spirit shown by the speakers and the fire they put into their work made the arguments stand out with great distinctness. The songs, yells and clever selections of the mixed chorus pleas- antly rounded out a memorable evening. President Swain was the presiding officer. This was the second year of a new series in the Inter-Collegiate Debating League of Pennsylvania. Last year the teams won and lost and this year they again broke even, so Swarthmore is still tied for second place. With four men of this year ' s squad returning and an abundance of good material in sight, the prospects for a successful season next year are very encouraging.

For years the Clubs have been struggling against financial difficulties, trying to present a creditable concert with the minimum expense and the meager support of the student body. This year, however. Manager Matson took more daring steps. He arranged a series of performances that necessitated first-class equipment and training. To meet the need for expert coaching, he secured the services of Richard L. Weaver to conduct rehearsals. Herbert Brown acted as student leader, and took charge of the Clubs in Mr. Weaver ' s absence. Membership in any of the Clubs was based purely upon talent, and no one was permitted to take part who could not qualify as a musician. Specialties were carefully worked up ; and both Barnard, on the cornet, and Gemmill, with his marvelous sleight-of-hand act, were featured as additional attractions. The results were encouraging. The audiences they entertained appeared to enjoy thoroughly their efforts, and every number offered the entire season brought an encore. The Clubs ' success cannot be measured in points or games, but the hits they have made in the towns they visited and the impression they left on the College audience, who attended the home concert, testify to a considerable increase in the prestige of the Clubs. Next year ' s organization should be even more effective than this year ' s. Bill Shoe- maker, Manager for 1915-16, is already working on plans to extend the scope of in- fluence, and to make engagements in towns new to Swarthmore musical circles. Sopho- more Show stars will be unhampered by nightly rehearsals for their performance, and if a corresponding amount of time be put into Glee Club practices, the degree of efficiency in execution and the improvement in quality should be startling. The old stand-bys. Brown and Barnard, will be back to take active charge of the Clubs with perhaps the professional assistance of Mr. Weaver again. Gemmill will add greater and newer mys- tery to the performance with his magic, and most of the best minstrel show material re- mains with 1916 and 1917. Every indication we have points to a brighter and a better season in 1915-1 6. Schedule 1914-15 February 1 2 — Swarthmore High School. February 20 — Combined Concert with Haverford in Philadelphia.

After pausing to consider, we do not wonder how we ever did it, but simply say, What else could we expect? With such geniuses as Herb Brown, our own little Victor Herbert; J. Sebring Riffert, the Donald Brian-Fred Stone-Al Jolson of Swarthmore; Evelyn Miller, the charmingly beautiful and bewitching Hazel Dawn; Johnny Orchard, the highbrow J. M. Barrie, who was in on the plot and speechy stuff; those words-to-music people, Emma T. R. Williams and Bee Shoemaker; and scores of other equally clever and fascinating Thespians; with these, we repeat, what else could we expect? But to make the success of our show more of a matter of course, just think of all these stars aided and abetted by the most winning, winsome, graceful, and beauteous galaxy of feminine charm ever assembled in one spot on the face of our large green earth, namely: Glorious Griffen, Winsome Williams, Kittenish Kelly, Sparkling Spiller, Shadowy Shoe- maker, Brunette Bryan, Handsome Hampson, and Roguish Robertson. In their songs as well as their dances they charmed our audiences as nothing else in the show could, bring- ing round upon round of applause from a crowd of somewhat unappreciative and phleg- matic spectators. George Corse fooled us all that night, by getting away v th his song, All Aboard for the Farm, in very good style. We might mention in passing that if he had not used his shoulders and arms so much in rendering his selection, the effect might have been more classic, but certainly not so amusing and typical of our gay young college chappie. As a disconsolate and disappointed lover, Bert Brown brought tears to our eyes and words of sympathy to our lips by the heart-rending pathos he interpolated into Spoony Moon. These dismal thoughts were dispelled, however, when eight Greek-clad Spirits danced their graceful obligato to the chorus. ' Twas a very pretty scene, if we do say it as shouldn ' t, the variegated draperies and the many-colored spotlight just harmonizing with the dulcet strains of the lovers ' lament. Everyone laughed at the Brush and Kurls song except seven upright young men who seemed to think that the travesty upon their lofty pretensions was not to be overlooked even if it was perpetrated by our incomparable fascinating bunch of rosebuds. Our talented prima donna, Evelyn Miller, electrified our critical audience every time she burst into sweet song, entrancing her hearers, and leaving them spellbound in admiration and ecstasy. Those were some songs, College Days and Isle of Dreams, and beauti- fully rendered. Page One Thirty-three rf i TME mioro ©F rnii NOT IN THE CUKKICTTLUM Matinee Idol Riffert got away with his songs in that truly modern syncopated style so beloved by first-nighters. And John really has a good voice, you know, if he would only let it out. But where Jack really shone was in that little skit with Adeline Patti- Gowdy. Some people claim that it was the best part of the whole show, and whether it was or not, we all admit that it was a perfect scream, and drew about the limit in curtain calls. Gyp also was a solo artist, but he didn ' t burst into song. He contented himself (and relieved his hearers) by talking his song all through, which was kind of him to say the least. Dignity of mien, sternness, and superb poise marked Kiddo Robertson ' s rendering The Student Exec. Song. You wouldn ' t think those snappy black eyes could be stern, would you? But when she warbled forth in that deep contralto voice of hers, you would have thought that the cares of student government really did rest upon her shoulders. None of this hard shell stuff was noticeable, however, when she danced an intricate maze of new steps with Gyp, Griffo, and Jack, to the tune of Back to Old Swarthmore. It was some dancing, take it from us, but it almost broke the Dean ' s heart. And speaking of the girls ' conduct censor, she nearly had a fit when Bert and Evelyn sang their duet in that tense, emotional love scene at the end of the last act. Why, would you believe it, the brazen things actually held hands right in the center of the stage before all those people ! In spite of this faux pas, the duet made an awful hit ; and well it should, for there was some harmony there, believe us. We ' ll have to hand it to Bert Brown, not only for his musical genius, but also for the work he had to put in on the production of the show. When he wasn ' t on the stage sing- ing his blooming head off, he was behmd the scenes doing the Gabriel Hines act to keep the other actors going wath the pep that was desired. Edith Satterthwaite tickled the ivories while Herb was on the boards and did so well that Bert was tempted to forsake the box altogether. Our show would have fallen far short of expectations had it not been for the able coaching and advice of our good friend Dolly Oliver. Beaming with good nature but somewhat stern in her management of our unruly gang, Dolly gave us invaluable assistance in our various parts and so helped us along through all the vicissitudes of musical comedy production that without her we shudder to think of the consequences. A good old scout is Dolly, say we. On the whole, by and large, taking everything into consideration, we beg to state that we think our show was a grand success for a number of reasons. First, we had an awfully good time all the way through it; secondly, we fattened the exchequer of the class with part of the proceeds; thirdly, we helped the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. to the extent of eighty or a hundred iron men ; fourthly, we relieved the ennui of the college at large for an afternoon and evening; and last but not least we brought before the public eye our afore- mentioned supply of geniuses and devotees of the noble histrionic art. Page One Thirty-four THE HiaLCY©i @F ISK NOT IN THE CURRICULUM Minstrel Show and Vaudeville ITH a laugh from start to finish, this new institution in the Hne of entertain- ment, this new substitute for the old time circus, was staged on the evening of May 3,1914. It was a rousing success, first as a fun producer, and sec- ond as a coin raiser for the Y. M. C. A. representatives to Eagles Mere. A burst of applause mingled with uproarious laughter greeted every sally from the time the curtain was raised on a double row of black physiognomies, punctuated by the deathly palor of the familiar face of the interlocutor, Roy Ogden (the one white sheep in the large family of black ones), until the last whoop from the packed Collection Hall followed Riffert and Hull as they sailed their httle four-legged boat Across the Bar in the last skit. The Minstrel started the ball of joy a-rolling with a song by the entire company of African immigrants entitled Camp Meeting Band, strongly backed by a lugubrious four-piece band of variegated zobo music makers manipulated by four other hotel waiters who, in their civilian clothes, are known as Riffert, Hull, Melick, and Murch. That was funny, but just to show that they were funnier yet, Beany and Jack carried on a little conversation with Roy that kept the crowd holding onto the weekly halibut (you know the show was staged on a Friday) . They also rendered a couple of solos. The deep mellifluous tones of Bugs Raymond then soothed the auricles of the audience and allowed them to quiet down from their amusement as he sang Wonderful Dream Girl (but it didn ' t need to be any dream with Bugs). Little respite did the crowd enjoy from their comfort gained in allowing their faces to relax into a normal position, for Ike and Wash took their places at the ends and proceeded to double up their hearers. They talked, sang, and went through antics until the mob cried for a let-up. This finally came as the whole company wound up in a medley of songs followed by the curtain drop, and the whole house subsided with a sigh and once more sat up. But when it came to the second part of the program with old Ike doing the imper- sonation stuff, the minstrel was almost forgotten. Doc Roth, Bob Maxwell, Dr. Bronk, Dr. Trotter and finally Dr. Miller spoke out from that kaleidoscopic tongue. Laugh? Well, that crowd thought they had laughed at the other part of the show, but when Joe let loose — well, the crowd cut loose too, and when they did, they did, that ' s all. This was acknowledged the funniest part of the show, but it was closely seconded by Riffert and Hull in their appearance on the stage sailing a real live boat and getting much humor both in song and in speech. In addition, a quartet limbered up and got away with some songs that were there with the wallop. Jim Melick appeared in a uniform which was con- spicuous by its scantiness, called himself a Dutch youngster, and proceeded to roll out Father ' s Spooch in a real Dutch brogue that had them on the run. Even Porky Murch and Gyp Gowdy got a laugh out of the crowd, now and then, with a little repartee which touched the tender spots of a few notables about College. In a few words, the show was There.

As Sophomores we took our initial plunge into the social life of our Col- lege, and buried the hatchet of earlier warfare in a reception of welcome to the Freshmen. It has long been the custom at Swarthmore for the Sopho- more and Junior Classes each year to give receptions to the Freshmen, and it is quite safe to assert that the Sophomore reception to the Class of 191 7 in no way fell behind the precedent established by preceding classes. Indeed, it was quite a brilliant af- fair, attended as it was, by success in evert the most minute detail of the entertainment. The early part of the evening was devoted to the reception proper, although no formal program was attempted. When all our guests had assembled. President Brinton, in a brief speech appropriate to the occasion, extended a hearty welcome to the Class of 1917. Following this came the grand march, and later the dancing, which occupied the remainder of the evening. For the occasion members of the Sophomore Class had skillfully hidden some of the barn-like qualities of the Gymnasium behind masses of class and college pen- nants, banners, and Japanese lanterns. In fact, the whole thing was very gay and very successful ; and 1916 feels justly proud of its first attempt in the way of social activity. When 1918 came to Swarthmore, 1916, in its Junior year, repeated the success of the year before in another Freshman reception. As before, entertainment and decoration were irreproachable, there being but one mishap to mar the serenity of the evening. This occurred at eleven o ' clock, when the orchestra, suddenly deciding that home was distinctly more inviting than the Hall Gymnasium, arose with one accord and executed a grand march all their own towards the door. Persuasion and argument alike were unconvincing to them, and for a moment, total failure seemed about to eclipse the earlier success. It was not long, however, before the gap was filled by Herbert Brown, who acted as orchestra for the rest of the evening. But it is not in receptions alone that 1916 has shone! Having reached the state of Juniors, we were permitted, last semester, to have our first class dance. That was an oc- casion long to be remembered by every loyal member of 1916, for, true to its reputation, the Class again produced a thoroughly successful function. In its outward semblance, this dance was, perhaps, little different from many another class dance, and yet — there was a difference. For where, in all the realm of classes, at Swarthmore or elsewhere, can there be found another class which, in all the qualities of strength, loyalty, and splendid good fellowship, can quite equal the Class of 1916!

Several things will be remembered not only by the Class of 1914 but by everyone who was lucky enough to be at College then. To begin with, Sunday morning Dr. Hoadley delivered the baccalau- reate address in Collection Hall. Dr. Alleman, feeling that his bodily pres- ence was needed more than his mental presence, was on hand reading the College cata- logue. Sunday evening we saw a group of umbrellas and well-soaked Seniors over by the Observatory. It was a gathering of faithful Swarthmoreans who had come to super- vise the planting of the ivy and to listen to the ivy oration by Dos Fitch. Monday we remember by two things, the Arrow Maker and Joel Melick ' s presentations. The exercises were started in the amphitheater, but Jupe Pluvius frowned, and the whole assembly ran for Collection Hall and scrambled m, the majority finding small opportunity for sitting down. To a casual observer passing the Collection door on Third, all that was visible was a vast number of weary feet. Here Miss Lukens had her hands full in keep- ing Parrish from being washed away. She shut more windows in one short half-hour than a normal being shuts in a life-time. The provoking part was that it stopped raining short- ly after everyone had wedged themselves under shel ter. Over five hundred Alumni and friends of the College crowded back on Tuesday. Early in the afternoon there was a procession of the men of all classes to the baseball game. Then the Arrow Maker was presented again, and lastly came the Alumni banquet. The Commenecement address was given by Edwin S. Stuart, former Governor of Pennsylvania. It was quite within the bounds of usual Commencement addresses, and pointed out to each graduate the proper path to be pursued through life. Ask anyone who was there about Commencement last year, and they will straightway think of the Arrow Maker. It was decidedly the most striking part of the whole Com- mencement. Although it was practically an all-star production, some of the performers excelled particularly. Constance Ball, by general acclamation, was the first of the stars, in the role of the medicine woman. Joel Melick, as the Arrow Maker, and Roy Ogden as his rival, also stood out as being exceptionally good.

The object of the Society is to keep abreast with the discoveries in the scien- tific world. There are five sciences included in the work of the association: Astronomy, Biology and Physiology, Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering. The programs of the meetings include short talks by the instructors in one or more of the above departments concerning recent discoveries in their respective sciences, or on topics of general scientific interest. Talks are also given by different members followed by open discussion in the Society. The residents of the borough -of Swarthmore are eligible to membership as well as the students and officers of the College. The meetings are held on the second third-day (Tuesday) evening of every month during the College year. The Joseph Leidy Scientific Society is the only organization of its kind in the College with an endowment. A liberal sum of money has been given by an alumnus to be used for the advancement of the Society.

Donnelly Page Tzvo Hundred Eight im micros of mh AXHLETICS The Haverford Game BOB N to Haverford! From the day that the an- nouncement reached Swarthmore of the re- sumption of football relations with our old rivals, this was the battle cry of every Garnet enthusiast. The 1914 season and the Haver- ford game were looked forward to as one and the same thing. When practice itself started last fall, the one big game, the climax of the season, always before coaches and players, was the game to be played with the Red and Black on November 2 1 . Although the loss of such men as Lutz, Joe Melick, Mc- Kissick, Haltom, McGovern and Durborow, was keenly felt, the scrub team and the Freshman Class produced a number of promismg candidates to fill the vacant positions. The team, however, was at best a green one and the task before the coaches was to develop the material available into ' a fighting unit. Injuries at different times during the season took men out of the lineup who seemed certain of winning ' Varsity berths. The other games on the schedule were only so many practice contests for the final struggle. Each week, whether we had met with defeat or victory on the previous Saturday, the coaches, Gieg, Mercer and Maxwell, labored on, building and rebuilding, strengthening the weak spots, and developing new men, always with the twenty-first of November as their goal. Frequent changes were made in the hne- up and men were shifted from the ' Varsity to the scrubs and back again in an effort to find the strongest combination. As a result of the many changes, the team did not reach its greatest strength until the final game. Although victory came but seldom to Swarthmore in 1914, the season was undoubtedly a success. Just as the coaches and eam prepared for Haverford so the student body and the Alumni of the College made ready to back their team to the limit. The results of the earlier games on the schedule mattered but little. Each Thursday cheer practice was held on Whittier Field. During that memorable week before the Haverford game, spirit was at its highest. Lessons and other College activities were minor issues. Snake dances, mass meetings, speeches, parades were nightly occurrences. Then, when the final whistle blew, after one of the greatest fights ever made by a Garnet team, with the score 3 to 3, every Swarthmorean looked back on what he considered a successful season. A green team had been whipped into shape to hold Haverford even and best of all, the old time Swarth- more spirit, once so famous, had been revived in the under-graduate body. Page Tzvo Hundred Nine THE micros OF lilf ATHIiBTICS THE HAVERFORD GAME Page Tzi ' o Hundred Ten ATHLETICS The first game on the schedule resulted in a defeat for the Garnet. During the early part of the game. Villa Nova had the advantage, frequent penalties preventing them from scoring. Later in the game Swarthmore strengthened. Smith and Ally Cornog playing especially aggressive games. With but a few moments of play left, Ward, the Villa Nova quarterback, signaled for a trick play and took the ball through the unguarded cen- ter of the line for the one score of the game. The following Saturday Swarthmore came back and trimmed Bucknell 9-0. Buck- nell had held Princeton to ten points the week before, so this victory was regarded as dis- tinctly a good omen. The game was by no means an easy one, and at several points Buck- nell threatened to score. Swarthmore ' s scores came as the result of a drop kick by Ally Cornog and a touchdown by Smith after an eighty-yard run. October 1 7 was a bad day for Swarthmore foot- ball. Franklin and Marshall administered a defeat by three touchdowns. Harold Smith, who had been play- ing a star game, at end, received a broken collar bone which kept him out of the line-up for the rest of the season. Founders ' Day was appropriately celebrated with a 7-0 victory over Ursinus. Several players who had been on the sick or injured list were able to return to the game. In the first period Lock got away for a seventy-five yard run and our lone touchdown. During the rest of the game honors were even, neither team be- ing able to gain consistently. The biggest set-back of the season came on October 31. Swarthmore rooters had been looking forward to the Penn Game with the fond hope that the feat of 1912 was to be duplicated. Pennsylvania played a wonderful game and Swarthmore fell far short of expectations. With a constantly changing line-up, the Red and Blue seemed to score touchdowns and field goals almost at will. The Swarthmore backs were helpless until Lock got away around the end for another of his long runs. Through most of the Penn team he sprinted for eighty yards and a score. The game ended with the count 40 to 6 against the Garnet. Washington and Lee had been advertised as one of the strongest teams in the country. . Great was the surprise of the Southerners when Swarthmore not only held them to ten points, but outplayed them during most of the game. In this game the fighting possibilities of the team were displayed. It not only gave the team a better reputation but also put confidence into them. Virginia had the strongest team that the Garnet has encountered for years. The Swarthmore team was swept off its feet in the early part of the game by the aggressiveness of the Southern machine, and failed to find a firm footing for any length of time during the game. However, the licking did the team good and put them right in shape to go after Haverford on the following Saturday. Pase Tivo Hundred Eleven TOMMY TME micros @r isk ATHLETICS And now we come to the Big Game. All the signs we saw about beating Haverford meant more after the game than before. The team played that day as the old grads say the teams used to play and as every Swarthmore team should play. The satisfaction of a 3 to 3 score may not be very great, but the satisfaction of seeing a team pull a tie out of what seemed to be sure defeat is something that we will never forget. Every man seemed to be possessed with superhuman strength and ability. They played individually and col- lectively as they never played before. The ball, for the first three quarters, went up and dovsm the field on kicks as neither side could gain against the sohd defense of the opposing team. In the last quarter after working the ball to what seemed to be a sure touchdown, Haverford was held on our twenty-yard line and forced to content herself with three points. It was then that the THE HAVERFORD GAME Page Two Twelve THE H LCYO ISK Hm- ATHLETICS SWARTHMORE STANDS PENN GAME team came up to any standard ever invented. They opened up a series of forward passes that completely bewildered Haverford and swept down the field like the avenging demon. Time, however, grew short and after a wonderful effort on the part of Captain Clime to reach the goal, following a completed forward pass. Ally Cornog dropped back and placed between the uprights the little field goal that converted defeat into an even break. Captain Clime, Hunter and McCabe made their last appearance as wearers of the Garnet in the Haverford game. Next year ' s coaching staff has facing it the problem of filling their positions. Prospects for a successful season in 1915, however, are good. The team will be made up to a large extent of veterans. The usual number of stars can be expected in next year ' s Freshman Class and the scrubs will furnish several players ready for promotion. William W. Roper, a former Princeton star and coach, will be the head coach of the 1915 team. Porky Murch, quarterback, has been selected as captain.

Now, to Fred, as a coach, the same thing holds true. A young coach, you will say no doubt, and to this we will add, an able one, for youth will tackle any job and Fred sure had some job to tackle. Proof sufficient of his ability is the final game of last season. Any man who can brmg a team to play the game our team did m the Haverford game needs no introduction from us. DR. ROY MERCER Trainer Remember when we trimmed Penn in 1912? Well, Doc was one of the stars for the Red and Blue that year. It seems that there must have been a little bit of hero wor- ship sentiment in Doc ' s anatomy, for he came out to make friends with his conquerors. This he did to perfection. Doc stuck right behind Fred during that last hard season and brought the team through for the Haverford game in fine style. We are all mighty glad to know that he will be in the same place next year. TWINK TWINING Manager Soliloquy: Let ' s see, I have to get a pair of new ankle braces for Clime, see the railroad agent about trains, get tickets from Palmer, get Ben a new pair of stockings, buy chewing gum, arrange for the officials, see about new pants for the captain, see the printer about advertising, give Gowdy a call for not getting Ben ' s new kicking shoes, arrange meal for team, write one thousand post cards, see Alec about players ' marks, see — see, write — write, get — get, buy — buy, etc. Gee, but I m a lucky guy. Nothing to do till to-morrow. Page Two Fourteen THE micros ©F ISK ATHI EXICS BEN CLIME Captain and Fullbacl( I think they were about in the middle of the field, weren ' t they? The score was 3-0 in favor of Haverford, wasn ' t it? We only had about two minutes to play, didn ' t we? It was Ben that look the last forward pass for a gain of about thirty yards putting the ball on Haverford ' s fifteen-yard line, wasn ' t it? I thought so. That was Ben ' s final wind-up for his college course. Some ending. PORKY MURCH Captain-elect and Quarterback Gosh hang it all, Murch, how in thunder do you think you are going to win if you don ' t get that signal in there right? P-P-P or-or-ky, ya-ya-our p-punt-average is g-g- good, ab-b-bout s-s-sixty ya-yards, I should say, thir-thirty up a-and thir-thirty down, L-L-Lock ya-you and B-B-Ben kick. Murch, how many times have I got to tell you that you are not to use that play at that time? In spite of this daily performance. Pork was always right on the job when Saturday rolled around. PETE HUNTER Right Guard Given: Pete Hunter=l80 lbs., fairly husky. Mike Dorizas=250 lbs., winner inter-collegiate strength test. To prove: 180 is greater than 250 and fairly husky ' is better than strongest college man. Proof: In Penn game: On defense, Pete got through usually. On offense, Mike did not get through. Therefore 180 is greater than 250; fairly husky is better than strongest college man. Q. E. D. Page Tivo Fifteen THE H LCr© ATHLETICS PAT McGOVERN Left Tacl le Reproduction from newspapers after almost all the games: McGovern played a steady game for the Garnet. Nothing heroic, nothing for the grandstand, nothing for the newspaper man to write a column about, but for those who know football the above quotation will mean a lot. y Sx.-: i .ilaBr ' i ' ' .. ' «-3 5t4.SS«Si: ELWOOD CORNOG Left End This long, lean, curly-headed piece of humanity was often seen during the season in the act of reaching up to an apparently out-of-reach forward pass and gently absorbing it into his claws for a considerable gain. Yes, that was his long suit — reaching. When a man had apparently passed around him for a long gain (even after a few $ 7r = c etc., could be heard from the stands), that long arm would shoot out with its claws hooked and seize upon the canvas legs of the runner and drop him in his tracks. Penn State did us a good trick when they let him go. JUDGE ENDICOTT Right Tackle Though both hands were busted, and also his nose. He helped out his team-mates, and smeared up his foes. That ' s what he did and did well. He was always to be seen in every play with his bandaged hands on the run- ner or very near him. Not only did he play his own game, but he found the time to give a cheering slap to- his team- mates. We owe a lot to that tow-headed hulk. In fact, we always used him, that is that yellow tassel, for a marker to locate the ball. Pase I ' lvo Sixteen THE H LCYOM OF ISli •fw ATHLETICS TENNEY MASON Right End Mason? Oh, yes, he plays right half. No, let me see, I think it is right end, or is it fullback? He played left end for a while and I am sure that he is left half. That ' s the way that Tenney went through the season, first one position and then the other. He didn ' t star exactly, but he was a pretty good man to have around to catch a forward pass, take out interference, break up a play, interfere, or any of the little odds and ends that are liable to turn up in that gentle game. ie DEAN WIDENER Center Oklahoma is famous for two things, — its Indians and Dean Widener. This lumbering hulk lumbered out of the western wilderness and into our eastern civilization. He lumbered into a football suit and lumbered out to the field. There he lumbered up and down, finally commg to rest in the center of the line. And from that day to this, his lum- bering gait has been a feature of every game. JIM PASSMORE Left Cuard ' Fats was not fast but managed to cover enough ground to keep most men from coming through his side of the line. When he wasn ' t carrying on a heated argument with his opponent about who was the lowest-down lop-eared, ornery, pussilanimous son-of-a-sea-cook in the world, he would find time to play a little football and play it well. rase l wo Seventeen im micYQ ©F is]i( ATHI KTICS ALLY CORNOG Right Halfback See Clime. Cy (that ' s another name for Ally), took the ball at this point. He stood about twenty-five yards or so from the cross bar ; the ball was in his hands ; both stands took a deep breath ; the ball dropped and rose again ; and sailed neatly between the dangerous posts. Swarthmore people went mad. The game was over, in reality, and defeat had been pulled up to a tie. Do you blame us if we say that Ally played a dandy game of football last fall? ROY L. LOCK Left Halfback Roy Lightfoot. Not much for height, not much for weight, but rather fast. In fact, his speed pulled us out of more than one hole, especially at Penn. Do you remember the murmured entreaties from the stands, Give it to Lock; he ' ll get away. And they did, and he did. Result — six points for Swarthmore. TOM McCABE Center Remember the winning smile that last year ' s Halcyon accredited to Tom? Well, Tom was minus that feature for a goodly length of time last season. You see his jaw was on the fritz and he couldn ' t do the Bryan and Billy Sunday act, nor could he play feetball either. His jaw kept him from smiling so he got glum ; it kept him out of the games so he got glummer. But he was in that famous 3 to 3 is enough for me game. That wound up his career and what more could a guy want. i ' ugt J Uio Liii ' iilcoi THE B LCYOi Qf 19I( •f ATHLETICS FRED DONNELLY End Picture in your mind a playful calf running along on its hind legs with its front legs sort of bowed and carried out to the side. There you have Fred in action. The picture just refers to the gait, of course, for the result of the action is much better. In fact, we never worried when Fred was sent in to fill some place. He usually filled the shoes of his predecessor completely. We predict that Fred will make good with a vengeance before he finishes another season. II PERC HARRY Halfback Raring, tearing, snorting, ranting, straining, heaving, dashing, plunging, diving, grabbing, dodging, running, block- ing, smearing, puffing, shouting, cheering, bucking, smash- ing, spilling, interfering, tackling, rolling, sweating, yelling, jumping, passing, walloping, flying and fighting the whole game. The same applies to the holding down of a position on the scrubs, too. What he does, he does up brown. STEVE STEPHENS End Erraticism (to coin a new word meaning the art of be- ing erratic) was Steve ' s long suit. Put Steve into a game one day and he could break up any interference ever formed, tackle any runner, catch any forward pass ; but put him in the following day and the worst scrubby scrub was a star compared to him. But the former days were much more frequent than the latter, (for which we are duly thank- ful). Let ' s hope they are all like the former next year.

Our feel- ing can easily be imagined if you look closely at the results of the schedule. On Friday we would be lifted to the pinnacle of joy at the success of the team, only to be dashed into the mire of despair on Saturday night. For most weeks this was the rule, but every rule has its excep- tions. For instance, the night of the State game we were preparing to enjoy the ride up to Elysium, when five blue clad huskies caught hold of our swan boat and refused to let us soar on the wings of victory. . Yes, and Saturday was coming when we were to play Lehigh on their court! Imag- ine our song of triumph, sweet peruser, when we learned that our warriors had smeared the Lehighites all over the court, having killed 42 to their 28. Penn ' s victory was the only set-back of the season, but since we were about due for it, we do not feel so badly as we are sure it will not happen again, in the near future, any- how. The next time we go to beard the lion in his den we will have no mental reservations. The Eli bulldog chewed a piece out of our season ' s suit near the end, but we have the satisfaction of knowing that we did not climb a tree when we saw him coming. The last part of the season might be made into a short story, entitled Almost but not quite. By winning the championship of our division of the Pennsylvania Inter- collegiate Basketball League, we ensconced ourselves on the mountain of fame and happiness. Our position be- came a little precarious when we learned that a pseudo Hercules from Albright was attempting to undermine our mountain by chipping off the peak called the cham- pionship of the Eastern and Central divisions of the League. But Hercules, alone and unaided, was unable to reach the peak and we were unpacking our things for a protracted stay on the Heights and making ready to raise the pennant when the law of cosines interfered with our plans and the force of gravity did the rest. The law of cosines states that if a mountain be built of dreams, c astles in the air, and cobwebby phantasmagoria, it must of necessity crumble at the slightest breath of wind. There- fore, when the wind became a forty-mile gale in the shape of the University of Pittsburgh Basketball team, the Page Tivo Tzventy-three PERC HARRY, ' 16 THE micro ATHLETICS weird halucinations of a championship, under which we were laboring, were blown away. And you all know how the force of gravity acts. In spite of our disappointments, fond questioner, we feel sure that you will agree with us that the past basketball season was rather a success. Much credit is due to Coach Griffin and Captain Twining who played star games on the bench and floor, respectively.

Jackson Waters Page T ' lVO Twenty-six THE micros @r mh ATHLETICS Review of 1914 Lacrosse Season HE lacrosse candidates in 1914 entered their season with a prospect before them of ex- ceptionally hard work. The schedule which Manager Houston had arranged was unusual- ly long, containing thirteen engagements, and the teams he had selected, with the exception of the University of Pennsylvania, were com- posed of experienced warriors. Two of the proposed games had to be dropped through mere physical inability to meet the strain ; and the reduction left eleven royal battles for the team to contemplate. The schedule was perhaps too hard, for out of the eleven on the list, the Garnet bowed to six different opponents, and in some cases Swarthmore ' s team did not appear to play poorer lacrosse than the teams she met. Toward the end of May the effects of the strenuous program began to mani- fest themselves in the players, and the results were hardly just to Swarthmore ' s standing in lacrosse circles. Without doubt the best game of the season was played at Carlisle with the Indians. It came about the middle of the schedule, after a rest of a whole week. The men had been strung up for the great fight against the red men, and they entered the contest with a vim that was probably not dupli- Although the flooded field on which they were compelled to play rendered accurate passing impossible, the play was of such a high standard that only three goals were pocketed during the entire game, one by the Indians, and two ty Swarth- more. Two weeks later, on the other hand, occurred the poorest game of the year. Swarth- more was matched against Johns Hopkins, and the Southerners proved too much for our eleven. Every Garnet player, with probably the exception of Wetherald, McGovern and Haltom, seemed unable to get his stride, and the defenders of the Black and Blue tallied an easy victory of 1 1 to 1 . The record for 1 9 1 4 is not so encouraging in black and white as was that of last year, but it should be realized that the extra number of games imposed on the players an enor- mous disadvantage. n ,■ i c- i i i Kesult of the ochedule April 3 — Cornell at Suarthmpre ------ April 11 — Stevens Institute at Swarthmore - - - - April 16 — Navy at Annapolis ------- April 18 — Baltimore Polytechnic Institute at Swarthmore April 25 — Indians at Carlisle ------- May 2 — Lehigh at Swarthmore - - ■ - May 9 — Johns Hopkins at Baltimore - - - - May 16 — New York Lacrosse Club at Swarthmore - - ..

In other words we won the whole number of seven games out of a possible twenty-one. Poor, 1 . you think? Well, we thought so as we 1 _ watched the first nine games go by the boards with one victory and that from the Maryland Aggies. But you know we do have a good team here at Swarthmore as they showed us after they got started. That start took place right in the middle of the schedule when, after much persuasion, prayers, and en- treaties, several dark horses such as Sproul and Melick were encouraged to don the uniform. Rutgers was the team to feel us start, for we hung a 4-3 victory on them in a ten- inning battle against one of the best pitchers that they ever boasted of. From then on we were going fine. We went a little finer and then a little finer still until we came up against our old friends from Philadelphia and a new friend from the middle west. Then we went our finest. The game with Penn was one of the best that has been seen on the old back lot (the so-called athletic field). On that day Twining, our own little freckled faced, bow-legged Earl, came into his own after pitching first-class ball all sea- son with a poor backing. On that day he pitched the won- derful ball and had the backing that he deserved. He allowed but four hits and forced twelve batters to take the count of three. The other connections that Penn had with the ball were handled in fine shape by Captain Durborow, Brown, and Riffert in the distant places, while Sproul, Shoemaker, Alderfer, and Melick at- tended to the ones within easier reach near the sacks. In fact, adding Dave Harry to this fist completes the line-up that did the trick. If we saw a good game with Penn, we saw a better with Michigan. 6 to 5 was the score and that tells the story. It was close indeed. The grandstands were kept in high ten- sion by such thrills as a somersault fly catch by Captain Durborow, a beautiful infield stop by Melick, a mighty clout for a homer by Sproul, and the perfect control from the mound by Twinkle. Close and exciting throughout, the ,; victory was all the more appreciated. m . V With these two games to their credit, two games won . IPI ' ' from two of the best college teams in the country, we can ' J honestly say that the season was a success. The previous defeats faded and the later defeats amounted to naught. We had beaten Penn and Michigan all in three days. COACH BETCHER Page Tzvo Thirty-one BERT BROWN SAM SHOEMAKER Result of the Schedule Mar. 25 — Navy, at Annapolis Mar. 26— Mt.

HUNTER UR 1914 track season history is a series of mis- fortunes and fighting spirit. With Joel Melick, captain and quarter-miler, lost to the team through a broken shoulder, which necessitated an operation during the winter, the team started out the season with unquenchable pep. In the first meet with Lafayette, Gowdy, the star of last season, sprained his back so severely that he was unable to compete again until the Haverford meet. This further handicapped the team, but it did not affect the spirit. In the Haverford meet, however, Blackwell, who had been gathering first places for us all season, pulled a tendon in his leg in the first race. This was the worst blow of all, for it practically lost us the most important meet of the year. Coach Haydock, of Penn fame, sifted his material early in April, and trained the most promising men for the dual meet with Lafayette at Easton on May 2. Although fighting without a participatmg captam, the Garnet team showed excellent spirit and kept a healthy doubt alive in the minds of the Eastonians as to the result of the contest until Swarthmore finally lost by a narrow lead with a score of 59 to 53. Blackwell was the individual star, carrying off three first places; Gowdy and Hunter tied for second honors in points, each claiming as his share two firsts and a second. A week later. May 9, we met Rutgers on our own track and lost again by precisely the same score. This time Blackwell and Hunter brought back three firsts apiece, with Gowdy in the infirmary. At the Middle States Inter-collegiate meet at Franklin and Marshal, May 1 6, two out of our team of eight scored. Blackwell won first place in the hundred, and Hunter in the hammer throw. The ten points they yielded us put Swarthmore seventh on the list of winners. The formal season closed with the Haverford meet at Swarthmore on May 23. Gowdy returned to the fold, and entered two events ; but to counteract our addition in strength, Blackwell received his fatal sprain in the first race, and was compelled to forego two almost certain victories. The accident proved a bad omen , for the meet ended with a score of 54 to 50 in Haverford ' s favor. Garnet representatives participated in contests apart from the regular schedule. Gowdy and Hunter were sent to the Inter-collegiates at Harvard on May 29 and 30 ; but although Page Two Thirty-seven th e very last race was run. THE miCYO — spm ATHLETICS they made respectable records, they were outclassed, and returned pointless. On April 25 a relay team entered the meet at Penn, and claimed second place in their class. Although many individual athletes made excellent showings during the season, the points won were so well scattered that only five track candidates received letters — Hunter, Carswell, Blackwell, Pohlig and Gowdy.

ATHLETICS Swimming URING this season more interest was shown in swimming at Swarthmore than in previous years. Practice commenced early and progressed rapidly under the direction of Dr. Roth. The team was also helped by the work of James A. Sterrett, of Philadelphia, who came out one or two evenings a week, often bringing with him exhibition swimmers to give the team some pointers. The first meet between the Sophomores and Freshmen was hotly contested and was finally won by the former with a score of 30 to 24. Swarthmore ' s first inter-collegiate meet was lost to her old rivals, Haverford, 31-22. Although Swarthmore lost her next meet with Johns Hopkins, the team was greatly en- couraged by the improvement shown, for the time of several of the events was lowered. Doyle, Dowdell and R. Burdsall showed up best in these meets, each winning a first and a second. It will not be long before we will be able to hold our own with any of our rivals in swimming as well as in other sports.

The first meet was with the second team of the University of Pennsylvania. After a very close race, Swarthmore won by the score of 27-28. Maule, ' 18, of Swarth- more, finished first with a lead of twenty yards over the first Penn man. Lafayette was our next opponent. In spite of the fact that the course was lengthened by almost a mile for this race, Maule and Bonner won first and second, respectively. The Lafayette team was so closely bunched behind the two leaders, however, that it was found, when the totals were made, that they had won the meet by one point. In the annual meet between the two under classes, the Freshmen won by a good margin. The Sophs were somewhat consoled by the fact that first place went to Bonner.

News has gone out to all the world and incidentally come to us tliat our respected alumnus, Colum- bus Henpeck, has startled science with a wonderful discovery. Colum- bus has worked and toiled over his theory for many years. Scientists said that it was impractical but our noble yoitth would not say die. At last he has proven his theory and has successfully analyzed co-educa- tion, according to the Qualitative Analysis. Henpeck attributes his success to the training he received at Swarthmore when he was on the fussing team and played way-back at the Dean ' s tea. Dr. Henpeck has been around Swarthmore for the past few days receiving congratulations. When in- terviewed by our staff correspond- ent, he modestly refused to say any- thing. He did, however, very kind- ly give us the original copy of his work in the form of tables which we take great pleasure in printing on next page.

Analysis or the Unclassified Singular Constituents These constituents cannot be classified in tables on account of their rarity, a very hard and thankless pro- cedure being necessary to isolate them from their studies. Their meal and class-time appearances occur at regu- lar intervals, but we may say that their sociability product is very low. However, they are not very useful and play no important part in the Analysis. Page Tzvo Seventy-seven THE PHOENIX, SWARTHMORE, PA.

Tacks always respond more quickly to the latter. Why spend money on elaborate china? Tooth mugs are the latest things. Do not worry when your pantry is empty. Be sociable instead and visit your friends. Do not despair when thoughtless neighbors have borrowed all your utensils, silver and tin. The han- dle of your tooth brush serves ad- mirably to stir soup. Refrain from disfiguring your walls with tack holes. If you must have pictures, pile them up in a cor- ner, where you can conveniently look through them from time to time. Never despair when you have no lard to grease your fudge pans. Cold cream will do the work and in addition w-ill give that subtle deli- cate flavor so often lacking in col- lege fudge. PERSONALS On Tuesday last, a charming tea was given in the cozy parlors of Dean Alexander, by the Absence Coinmittee. The guests of honor were the Overcutters. The tea-table was becomingly decorated in black. Dr. Brooks poured. On Saturday evening the Dean of Women entertained at one of her charming masquerade balls, which are so popular this season among the younger set. .The Minuet and other modern dances were indulged in. By special permission the gath- ering did not break up before eight o ' clock. Following the Kaiser ' s e.xcellent example in the Palace at Berlin, Professor Hayes has provided ca- pacious felt slippers for use in the Library. This innovation should save much wear and tear on the heels and ears. TALKS WITH GLADYS GRIFFEN ON SPRING STYLES We were fortunate enough to ob- tain a short interview with Miss Griffen as she hurried down the Asphaltum. Miss Griffen was wear- ing one of her modish gowns, direct from the hands of her New York tailor. Yes, she replied, when pressed for her views on the spring styles, there is to be a decided change. Women are becoming con- servative in some lines. The Meeteer Mackinau, with the approach of warm weather, is being abandoned for the free and more easily adjust- ed Hogue Models, though Miss Har- vey does not advocate the change. The Gorham gaiters are still seen on a few mannish figures, but are not among the newest spring displays — ' ' Just in the midst of this interesting dissertation Miss Griffen heard the 1 :29 train at Michael ' s crossing and sprinted down the Asphaltum.

I stepped in the chair with a shudder, My chances of living were slim, He clipped and he cut every hair off my nut, Then started in on my chin. Oh yes ! Oh yos ! But you ' re right, I shall have my revenge. Chorus. When I catch Antony Sphagony, the hacksmith barber, (poetic license) With one mighty swat he shall pass quickly out of Swarthmore. If barbers like him lived in the long ago, I can ' t blame Sampson for letting his grow. He should die. He should die, When he clip — clip — clip — clips all the hair off your eye.

FABLES IN SLANG (AVith Apologies to George Ade) THE FABLE OF THE FRESHMAN AND THE FAIR CO-ED ONCE upon a time, a fond Mother, gathering Cackleberries from her fowl Domicile, was seized with Premonitions that her Willie was destined to become a Ruler of the Brain World and not a Planter of the Strong Boys from Bermuda. Forthwith she dumped the entire load of Visions upon the Old Man, who being a strong believer of the Creed, that the Female of the Species is more deadly than the Male, decided to Pawn the farm and send AA ' illie to the Abode of Great Minds. Now AA ' illie, freshly primed with fond Ancestral assurances of the Enor- mousness of his Gray Matter, affected College like a Thorn in the Flesh. His case was considered Hopeless by the Sophs, but, as a final Resort, those Doc- tors of Hazing operated upon him. The details of the Operation were minute and complete. He emerged with a Hairless Poll and a bod} co ' ered with much Asphalt and Chicken Fur. The Effort was fruitless, however, for he was heard to declaim : Page Two Eighty-hvo THE SWARTHMOREAN 3 Great Minds never run on the same Straight-away with the Common Herd. I would rather be the only Wart on the back of my own little Toad, than One of Many covering the College Reptile. He went speeding along his course to sure Annihilation, until, one day, from out the Grumpy Chaos of his brain Meanderings, he raised his Orbs to Focus on a Maiden of most wondrous Beauty. As he dimmed her through his Goggles, he was convinced that, owing to the abundance of her Skin Deep Stuff, her brain must resemble a Molecule. A good chance to show the ponder- ous Machinery in his Noodle, thought he. Now, this same Beauteous Femme, sitting across the Hash Stand from him, was but newly elected Phi Beta Kappa. Her tongxie had a razor edge and she was capable of Exterminating any Human in the College with her Dissecting Phrases. She had It in for Willie on General Principles and had decided that, should he try any English Exhibit on her, she would Hand him such a Jolt that he wouldn ' t know whether his Thoughts came from his Fleels or his Cranium. It was. therefore, against a most Subtle and Alluring Enemy that the Ruler of the Brain Empire directed his Legions. But hers was not an easy Task. It rather resembled the Student Body at- tempting to get some new Social Rule through. Her sugared Barbs beat vain- ly against his Concrete Conceit. However, after frequent Attacks, he began to Glimmer that some other Fogies really did possess Mental Reservations of their own and that the prevailing Sentiment of the College was Democracy. Hence having Integrated this Appalling fact from the Conglomeration of Ego- tistical Formulae surrounding his Brain, he-proceeded to Analyze himself and found that his Specific Gravity was less than Nothing. Just as she had Doped it out, he came to lay his Heart at her Feet, fully aware how small a Chestnut he was, and she — Stepped on It. W hereupon he retired to the Farm with a crumbled Blood System and many Allopathic memories. You can hear -him any day, as he sits extracting the Tactile Fluid from the Lowing Kine, whispering to himself, ' Tis better that she kille d It quick than to have let It suffer. Moral : It is better to be a Peanut with no Brains than a Wooden Man with a Block Head. THE LAST OF GOOD PRINCE ALBERT ONE evening Prince Albert put on his Tuxedo. He had found it im- possible to Bull Durham any so he decided that he would take a walk on Pall Mall. The first person he saw was his old friend Phillip Mor-. ris, but the Prince refrained from speaking to Phil when he discovered that his dear friend was talking to Lady Fatima, for the Prince was unused to speak- ing in public with such common people. But another surprise awaited him, for, as he sauntered along whom should he see but Lord Salisbury, First Lord of the Cigarettery, and Billy Piedmont, the tough, walking arm in arm together down the street. They were laugh- Page Tzvo Eighty-three 4 THE SWARTHMOREAN ing over an event of the night before, when Chesterfield had helped the little Italian, Melichrino, home because the latter was not strong enough to walk alone. This was indeed a night of surprises for the Prince, for a short time after passing Piedmont and Salisbury, he felt a timid touch on his arm and, turning, he beheld his Sweet Caporal. But she was slowly burning up and even as he looked, she disappeared and he stood alone with the incense of her still linger- ing about him. This last blow was too much and he fainted. When he awoke, he found himself in a Coat of Mail and around him on all sides were the friends of his past, either in the same condition as himself or boxed up in some manner. He hardly cared since his Sweet Caporal was no longer with him, but just the same he groaned. The muffled voice of Rameses II answered close beside him. Too bad. old man, we heard you were canned in A. J. Re3aiolds company yesterday. The Prince was about to expostulate when he found himself dumped un- ceremoniously into a dark, evil smelling, bowl-shaped affair, while over him hovered his greatest enemy, the Lucifer ! If it lit, he was a goner ! It lit! And as it struck him, he had a sickening sensation of being hur- riedly drawn along through a damp passage, dark as licorice. He emerged suddenly into a large salmon-tinted cavity, where great stallactites and stal- lagmites, rose and fell at regular intervals of space. Through a gradually widening opening at the further end of the cavity, he was forced into the open air once more only to find himself slowly dispersing. Plis last connected thought, as he tried to pull himself together, was, I shall — soon — see — my — Sweet — Caporal. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE STANDARD MELODRAMA Scene : Front of Parrish, staunch and gray, The asphalt stretching far away. The Campus with its grass so green. Completes the pretty college scene. Characters : Jane, the pretty college dame, Jack, the boy of football fame. Freshmen wearing small red caps, Dave and lots of college chaps. Plot: The Haverford football team must be Page Tzvo Eighty-four Defeated — they ' re the signs you see. Jack takes all his time to train. Which doesn ' t suit his pretty Jane. Climax: The game is on — the score is tie, And time is fleeting swiftly by. When Jackie by a daring play — Scores, and saves his team the day. Conclusion : To old Parrish they go back. Pretty Jane and famous Jack. A smile for Jackie from his quee n, Then she is campused by the Dean.

See Editor Vol L ] la_v. 1915 Xo. 1 I EDITORT LS T is fitting that we should take this opportunit)- in the first, and probably the last number of Swarthmore ' s greatest literary magazine to outline our editorial policy. To put it briefly, we are to have no defined policy. The editorials of the commoner and lower class of papers are usually writ- ten after much thought and study and of a certain length in order to fill a speci- fied space in the paper. AA ' ithout consideration of the space required, it will be our purpose to always voice sentiments thoroughly in accord with the opin- ions of our reader. Ve are here to please ourselves and our subscriber, not to improve the College. Although we expect to run the established publicity or- gans, the Halcyon and the Phoenix, a close race in other lines, we leave them unmolested in their efforts to bring glory to our Alma ] Iater. In carrving out the above policy, we do not expect to expend any of our valueless time in preparing our editorials. Everything appearing on our edi- torial page will be dashed off on the spur of the moment and published with- out any thought having been put vipon it. • ' e find that too much thought on anv subject befogs our otherwise keen intellects. At first glance this policy may seem to be rather idealistic: one which can scarcely be carried out in practical work. The fact that our magazine is pub- lished anv old time it pleases us will give us no opportunit} to write editorials, with the result that an eleventh hour rush will always be necessary. We aim, in a Avord. to make the opinions expressed in these columns absolutely without A-alue and without weight. You are getting full value for 3-our money at pres- ent and the magazine is too heavy as it is. A ' e aim to bring it about that al- though no claim is made to the veracity of these opinions, they be entitled to consideration as literary gems from our pen. iJay we ask our reader, if there is one, to interpret the foregoing state- ments as egotistical in the highest degree. If no one else will write ab out us. wh} ' can ' t we do it ourselves ? Page Tzi ' O Eiglity-si.r T THE SWARTHMOREAN 7 WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN Woodyard Kindling HE Whifflebait is a ferocious bird, who hovers over the forests to pick the hmbs off dead trees. He roosts only on asparagus and can be captured at nightfall when he descends for his sun set. The Hullolajas is the only fish resembling a zebra, having a striped body and hoofs. He and the bass are the only musicians in the fish world. He roosts on the extremities of coral branches and can be enticed only by liquor. The Semigrassjujus is the only animal known to trim his l eard. His beard grows three feet each morning at sunrise, and in order to keep from stepping on it as he flies after the Hotentots, he buries it under water in the ocean and hops away leaving it there. Hence the seaweed. The Hollyhockus is a reptile of great reknown. He lives chiefly on the eyelashes of grasshoppers and the croaks of bull-frogs. He makes his nest on the r ' s dropped by southerners and for that reason is seldom seen north of the Mason-Dixon line. The Hank3 ' dink is a vermin resembling a rat. He roosts ' in ladies ' coif- fures during the day and for that reason is often ignorantly called a rat. His chief source of sustenance is Herpicide and Massage Cream. And last is the Lazylier, a worm peculiar to our own College. He resides in AA ' harton mostly and can only be seen at meal times. The average life of these animals is about one semester, for at exam times, he wraps himself up in a sort of cocoon of smoke and reappears as a Whatstheuse, to flit silently and swiftly away. THE UNFORTUNATE CAMERA Sewell had a camera. He thought it very fine. He took two of Prexy ' s pictures And then took one of mine. When the picture was developed. It nearly knocked him dead, For there was my weak body, And above it Prexy ' s head. THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR OUR ADVERTISER When Patronizing Our Advertiser, Please Mention the Swarthmorean.
