Lemmon, Business Manager FOREWORD Here, in this Templar, is a record of the past college year, of athletics, of classes, and the multitudinous things which go to make up that intangible something called STempIe Spirit If this book recalls memories of campus life, and shows to some extent the love and devotion which we feel for our Alma Mater; it will have more than fulfilled its purpose; that of being truly Cemple’S ©ear JJoofe tn l K]|'x A CHRONOLOGY September—“When did you get in? Did you have a good summer? Have you seen Jim or Mary yet?” You are hack at Temple. Temple started this year with a record enrollment. October The Sophs try to discipline the greenest of Frosh, hut are taken hack by the energy shown by the aforesaid Frosh in the Tug-of-War. Football season at home opens with a glorious victory over our rivals, Lebanon Valley. November— Football season continues very successfully. Another line drive begins with the opening of the Russell H. Con we II Foundation Campaign. Temple co-eds show their athletic ability at the first Penn-Temple all sports day. Thanksgiving vacation was enjoyed. December- -Temple court team opens season with two noted victories, upsetting all records by trouncing Princeton in a close court tilt, 28-26. Everyone counted the days to Christmas; there was the usual rumor that vacation would start a couple days earlier than scheduled, but the Dean placed little or no faith in the story. January Bull sessions took on a new and more vigorous lease on life in the Frat houses and the dormitories. Exams are the favorite topic of conversation, as we wonder what question Prof. Whosis is going to ask in that exam. February The second semester begins with a grand opening of the city campaign in the Conwell Foundation drive. All the girls start being extraordinarily friendly as rushing season opens. The co-ed basketball team trounces N. Y. U. in a fast tilt. March—Cherry and White naiads win intercollegiate championships, from a fast field, just nosing out N. Y. U. by 28-26, and so retain their swimming title. Julc Custer starred on an all-star team. April -After the Faster recess we settled down to some good thorough sleeping again. The Ccrcle Franyais Play, and the Pan-Hellenic Dance were the big social activities, making the young man’s fancy turn to dates, blind or otherwise. May The nicest thing about May is that it comes so close to June, the end of the student’s scholastic and fiscal year. The Junior Prom made the reputation of being the best Junior Prom ever. June The approaching final exams bother us a little. The Seniors bid a fond good-bye and go out into that proverbially chilly world. They are to be congratulated. To those who have a few more years left at Temple, they advise taking advantage of the things this University has to offer and not to take more than eight cuts in that six-cut class.

Stauffer Tdir«:TPK i fik I kmpi.k University Page Fifteen tSiMivBM0 Is it any wonder that, with such a spirit clearly manifest, those charged with the leadership of Temple University cannot help but contemplate the future of the institution with the utmost confidence? Yours sincerely, (Signed) Charles E. Beury, President. When, following the death of the Founder, the Trustees planned a movement for the expansion of his work in the way in which they knew he had visioned it, the highest expectations in regards to the response of the students were entertained by the Board. It is no exaggeration to say that their fondest hopes were not only realized but surpassed. The part played by the students of Temple University, men and girls alike, in the Russell H. Conwell Fund Campaign, justified every ounce of energy and every particle of devotion infused into the movement by those in charge of it. For it must be remembered that, in the last analysis, the students of Temple—those of the present and of the future—are to be the ultimate beneficiaries of the campaign. The attitude of the students in the intensive period of the movement— their unquenchable enthusiasm, their whole-hearted devotion, their touching loyalty, expressing itself in real sacrifices too numerous to mention—demonstrated that they were fully worthy of the efforts put forth in their behalf. In the “Student-Faculty” phase of our campaign, the students, as well as their professors and instructors, not only did their share manfully and dutifully—they covered themselves with glory. In this phase of the work, a greater sum was realized than any amount ever given by the students of any institution of higher learning to their Alma Mater—and that despite the fact that a considerable portion of Temple men and women “work their way through, and that their contributions often represented great additional personal sacrifice. To the Class of 1927: In the year which has now drawn to its close, the students of Temple University have demonstrated their mettle and loyalty in such a manner that this message must needs become a word of sincere thanks as well as of cordial greeting. Page Sixteen DR. CHARLES K. BEURY Page Seventeen To the Class of 1927: The Class of 1927, as the years go by, is going to feel that it was an especially privileged class, because of the part it took in the initial efforts for the Greater Temple University. Its officers led the whole student body in their plans for their gifts to the Conwell Recognition Fund. It had been your privilege to know the great Founder and when you were asked to give only a small amount as your individual share in the Memorial Fund you doubled it several times because you loved Dr. Conwell and because his memory is dear to you. The students’ effort came first and what you did was the inspiration that led all the others as the great movement went on. Freely you have given. May you receive as freely in the future the things in life that are really worth while. If you have found the joy of giving of yourself for others, you will not need to seek happiness, it will come to you of itself. May you go forth as leaders in all movements that shall help to make the sum total of human happiness greater and life better worth living, and may the peace that is past understanding crown your days. (Signed) Laura H. Carnell, Associate President. Page High teen DR. LAURA H. CARNKIJ. Page Nineteen To the Class of 1927, Greeting: The college student has the rare opportunity of cultivating the perceptions of beauty. Beauty is primarily an attitude of mind, it is not merely a sensible contact with things regarded as beautiful. It is in part unconscious, the expression of feelings provided by race and environment. But the native impulse requires careful development. Genius, to be sure, may flourish anywhere. A Dante or a Velasquez or a Chopin springs, it seems to us, straight from the soil. The average man, however, who would appreciate or create a beautiful object must be taught by preceptors who themselves understand the elements of worth. To learn the harmonies of an alien language, to trace the sources and relations of mathematical symbols, to peer beneath the crude units or mighty masses of nature’s substance and seize upon her primordial laws, to roam amidst the labyrinth of social cultures, seeking a true and satisfactory answer to their vexing queries, to find the secret of truth in the noble endeavors of philosophy, to immerse one’s spirit in the divine creations of human art, in literature, painting, and music—this is the task of a college student, and this is the pathway to beauty. Sincerely yours, (Signed) James H. Dunham, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Page Twenty FACULTY OF THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES DR. JAMES H. DENHAM M FIJ Page Twenty-one To the Class of 1927: Dear co-workers in the noble profession and the lofty service of teaching. Greeting! ith what measure of devotion must you not be grateful for the extraordinary happenings of this last period of your work, the year of grace 1926-27! How fortunate all of you to have participated in the events and activities of this time of abounding life. You have witnessed the remarkable progress that has marked the first year of service of our new and most worthy President. You have heard Temple’s name and fame heralded far and near, and you have seen Temple’s influence and power radiating in ever enlarging circles of usefulness. You have represented Teachers College most creditably in the splendid campaign for funds conducted under the auspices of the Foundation that bears the honored name of Conwell. You have given freely and enthusiastically in means, time, effort and service. It has been a rich harvest that Temple has gleaned, and 1926-27 has also seen the largest numbers and the greatest efficiency in the history of Teachers College. God give you a good morrow, one and all. Long live Temple, and you her children. Sincerely Yours, (Signed) George E. W alk. Dean of the Teachers College. Page Twenty-two FACULTY OF TEACHERS’ COLLEGE DR. GEORGE E. WALK Page 'T'xenly-lhrce To the Class of 1927, Greeting: President Conwell was loyal to Temple University to the end. He established a high standard of university loyalty. It is the same as that announced by the Moabitish maiden three thousand years ago when the lovely Ruth said to the mother of her dead husband, “Clod do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.” 1'his high standard of loyalty begets loyalty in others. All who follow I)r. Conwell will be influenced by his example. President Charles E. Beury brings a new type of loyalty to the University. Having received no benefits from the University, and the University having no emoluments whatsoever to bestow upon him, he is giving himself with reckless abandon to placing Temple University among the foremost universities of the world. He is already influencing each one of us with the strange, mystical power which always magnetizes the man who surrenders himself unreservedly to the service of, and association with, self-sacrificing and courageous youth. Let me urge you to he faithful not only to the end to your University; but to your classmates, to your home, to your city, to your country, and to your God. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) Milton F. Stauffer, Dean of the School of Commerce. Page Twenty-four Page Twenty-five THE TRUSTEES OF TEMPLE UNIVERSITY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA Thomas F.

Pearce.................................President Charles P. Bowman... ........................Pice-President A rth ur Cr ess e................................ Secretary CeciI. M iller....................................Treasurer Temple was a new world four years ago to the eager-eved and eager-minded horde that clogged the stairways as classes began in September. 1923. 1 hey came from all directions and distances, some searching for the skill and knowledge that would introduce them into the world of business; others yearning for a strong groundwork that would prepare them for the professions of law, medicine, or science; others expecting preparation that would put them on the teaching side of schoolroom desks. Each looked forward to four years filled as full of happy-hearted pleasure as they would be filled with work and achievement. The four years ended, those raw Freshmen who received their matriculation cards back in 1923, entitling them to all the rights and privileges of a student at Temple University, have become a set of efficient, well-prepared individuals, qualified to accept the diplomas which will start them out on their careers. The history of 1927 will never be written. A complete history of this class, which for a brief twelve months has the traditional right to call itself “the greatest class that ever left Temple,” cannot he compiled until the last one of its members has completed the high enterprises which he cherishes in his secret thoughts as he joins the academic parade to receive his sheepskin with its seal of red wax and its motto, “ Perseverantia Vincit.” There are grounds for believing, however, that the Class of 1927 will create for itself individual records as worthy as the record it has earned as a group in its four years at Broad and Montgomery. These four years have been the prologue to the infinitely greater drama in which the members of 1927 are now to take part. I bis sketch of “the greatest class” will be like a little curtain play in four scenes that is played on the front edge of a stage before the asbestos is rolled up for the big show. Raw and wondering as they were when they first got themselves lost in the winding intricacies of College Hall and in their loose wanderings in search of “old 1838,” the Freshmen who appeared at Temple in 1923 had among them some individuals who had more than a little to do with the molding of Temple’s career since then. They contributed much to the growing prestige of their Alma P i f 1 Page Twenty-nine Mater in the field of collegiate sporr. They have fostered that vaguely-named but thoroughly-evident thing, “the spirit of Temple,” they have hound themselves together to work for and with Temple, setting an example that will doubtless be followed as long as Temple lives and grows. The Class of ’ifs first proud achievement was the original amalgamated class at Broad and Berks Streets. Having perfected an interlocking directorate of the three departments under the direction of a group of able inter-class officers headed by the cver-efficient Rod Light as president, the Freshmen had the joy not only of seeing the plan work out successfully for them, but the even greater delight of seeing it adopted by their superiors. It was not long before even-class at Broad and Berks was amalgamated. It was not in politics alone, however, that the Class of ’27 displayed an early supremacy. Starting off with a mammoth Freshman reception, to which the entire University was invited, the class demonstrated its intention of living a gay social life during its Temple career. The succession of lively parties, dances, receptions, “hops,” “Frolics,” and so forth, which have punctuated the more serious activities of the class, record the complete realization of that intention. The men and women of 27 were the ringleaders in the formation of numerous organizations hereinafter listed among student activities. The late Owl Honorary Society, now The Blue Key, made its appearance on the campus only after a group of men from this class, then sophomores, had evolved and proposed the idea. Likewise the Magnet Honorary Society, which gathers into its fold the feminine leaders of campus activity, was one of the foster-children of ’27. Leadership in debating, school journalism, student government, glee club activities, dramatics, inter-fraternity and inter-sorority affairs, and all branches of sport has sprung from the ranks of ’27. The glorious personal records of ’27’s sons and daughters are found in the chronicles published elsewhere in this book, so there is no need to mention them here. No one can put on paper the things that distinguish the Class of ’27 from all other classes. This class has done fine things during its quartet of years under the Cherry and White, great things for the school, great things for itself. Some, hut not all, of those achievements have been described here. For the most part the happy memories of that activity will remain with the members of the class themselves, forming a splendid common bond that will persist even when separations of space and interests have divided them. I he pardonable pride that comes from having had a hand in starting things that develop into sturdy traditions should be a strong factor in holding the affections of the Class of ’27 to the Temple campus. Those who took part in the first tug of war, the first fiour fight and the first push-ball contest—in the days when the Class of ’27 decided to put the Class of’28 through its paces, will continue to get a thrill of pride and satisfaction every Page Thirty time they hear the outcome of one of these traditional inter-class battles in the future. Those who worked for the unification of the three undergraduate classes in student activities, those who labored to organize and keep running the numerous other groups and societies which give student life at Temple its pleasant variety, will retain the same paternal interest. When the Class of ’27 came to Temple for the first time, Conwell Hall was not vet completed—it was a huge conglomeration of stone and masonry more than half hidden behind a lacing of lath and scaffolding. As ’27 departs, Conwell Hall has already passed through its brief stage as the center of university life and has become only an insignificant, though concrete, unit in a vast plan of development and expansion. It was during the undergraduate career of ’27 that Temple passed through the crisis brought to it by the death of its great founder. Dr. Russell H. Conwell. When the orchestra plays the final recessional on the night of Commencement, the official history of the Class of ’27 will come to a close, amid the exchange of congratulations, the fragrance of graduation bouquets, and the confusion of farewells. A class history is peculiar in that it is many times multiplied. Far from being merely the sequence of events recorded in the minutes of the class secretary, the real history of the class lies in the personal record and individual memory of each member. The greatest achievement of the Class of 1927, even aside from what it has created in tradition to and on to others, has been the wealth of pleasant occurrences, comradely activities, and common interests which it has provided to store the memories of its members as they leave the stage of this prologue to take part in a greater production. m rv UA: vv J IS os Page Thirty-one ALSTON (BUCK) ADAMS Tuckerton, N.
