If eves, seeking remind- ers of the pleasant days gone by in college, stray over these pages and there in some small way are rewarded, the staff feels that the mission of the Blue Hen has been accomplished. T'he task has not been a light one, and perhaps not a pleasant one. But it has been cheerfully undertaken, and we ask yvour pardon for the flaws that may appear in it. Perchance the flaws will not mar the entire jewel. The Editors 3 Order of Books E?

We realize that the mill through which every class goes must necessarily be the same in general as- pect, but there are al- ways those little inti- mate happenings that are peculiar to each class, and it is those that we attempt here to record, so that in future years when eyes, seeking pleasant memories, wander over these pages they may encounter some brief reminder of little incidents which happened in col- lege days long gone by, As a group, our academic work has the highest of a majority of classes that leawve here, But it is not with our scholastic standing that we are s0 much interested, With the pursuit of knowledge there were also many other HJillgs that claimed our atten- the catalogue of all the memories we hold dear. Of eourse, the first night in college in our verdant and unenlightened year of apprenticeship will never be erased from our memory. The loving- cup in front of Old Collegehow gracefully we curled around the cen- ter of that, in its cool cmbracing water! And the flag pole at the Womens College! Never, no never, 84 PAUL RINARD 1 PrEaisENT even in the height of May Day rehearsals, will 1t ever witness as sprightly a dance as that which the hittle elves of 1825 executed in the wee sma' hours of one day in Sep- tember, 1921. And music! We warrant that never were more duleet and soothing strains wafted on the n Egll t air of the HUlltEH'I'll L'Il.ll:lllll?i as when we hound dawgs of two-bits bayed the moon at t:Ll:il!ight for the edification of a heartless mob of Sophomores who lab- ored under the ex- ceedingly erroneous illusion that they were entertaining the fair inmates of Dela- ware's southern eam- pus buildings. And shall we ever forget our carly train- ing, crude as it was, in the delicate art of the tonsorial profession, as it was taught in that memorable seis- sors fight in front of Harter Hall one night in the spring. We were unfortunate in our classie athletic event, inasmuch as we were rather foxily tricked out of a foot- ball gamie by the Sophs. Our Sophomore year was one of indiseriminate ku klux llH.I i'il H and kllllg!l!'i l e'ill!ll h-, F'l'l. lillg Hs .II Hul.th do that it is their turn to gl:t' even for the indignitics suffered in their tirst wear, we were as rvelentless as any group, before or since our year, has been, But uguin we took a Yheat- ing on the gridiron in our annual class football contest, But we con- tented ourselves a short time after- wards by winning the basketball championship. Junior year passed by with our Prom as the only outstanding event to mark it as significant, Then came the Farewell Hop, Plattsburg for the most of us, and the realization that we were on the last lap of our jour- ney through school. We take with us some of the best athletic sons that Old Delaware has had. From the football field we take Bill MeKelvie, Sook Jackson, and Choc Gibson. From the basket- ball court we remove these same three, augmented by Kid France. Track must surrender, likewizse, MeKelvie, France, and Jackson, And in baseball we shall elaim Choc Gibson. As managers of the major sports we carry away Crothers, Hurff, Jones, and Ickler. The rifle team loses Cann, Shuster, Skewis, Pikus, and Rinard. Tennis surrenders Al Turner and Bones Jones, Many faces that started with us in 1921 will be missing as we walk down the path to receive our dip- lomas. Stalwart Harry Jackson, our first year leader, is gone. So is Mac MeCormick, witty and inimit- able Sophomore leader, Many others have left school, or have dropped back into other classes, With our Farewell Hop this June the last page will have been written in the book of 1925, With us are the memories of the past and the hopes of the futore. Let us fondly remember the days gone hy, and hope- fully anticipate the days to follow. The Historian, 35 CHARLES PAUL BLEST ARTR AND BCIENCE Newark, DELawang BENNY mis voung man falls into the class Tuf celebrities who come from New- ark High School and manage to stick it out in college. Benny came to col- lege with a grim determination to wrest a diploma from the hands of the exist- ing powers, and that determination has been his most distingnished character- istic during his four years at Delaware, Benny has had trials galore in the field of his native language, and al- though the whole department of that well-known subject has thrown repeated obhstacles in his academic path, he has smilingly gone on, until his goal las been reached. Just what he will do with his diploma, other than frame it for his room, is a matter of doubt. However, collegiate :1l.'l'q,urlplixiunl.'r:t is not all that Benny' has attained. He is a recognized authority on the cinema industry, and his ability as a critic of good pictures has won him not a little attention as a connoisseur of art. His liberality with complimentary tickets to current attractions has also been an endearing trait of character, and it is said that the eolor guard of the battalion has never missed a good show during Blest's enlistment with them.

In truth Pete is a good friend and a help in solving weighty problems, He would rather have his jokes than be serious, but when he starts anything, he is sure to finish it or at least to make everyong realize that he has made an honest attempt.

And as a result he has more than one chin and has to buy clothes that will stand letting out during the collegiate year, Devil Anse commutes from the Experiment Farm, where he lives, This commuting takes place on shank's mare, a bicycle, or a hop on the farm milk wagon, The intense exereise that Devil Anse derives from figuring out trans- portation to and from vnll:-gq-: is the only thing that keeps him out of the extra- heavy weight class. Strange as it may seem, Devil Anse, despite his name and possibly his ancestry, posscsses none of the fendal instincts of the West Virginia Hatfields. He says nothing to anyone, and has never been seen taking a shot at a single soul. If he has ever mur- dered any person from behind the bushes, as his namesake wsed to do for diversion, he has always modestly re- frained from saying anything shout it.

Hl-:i:H we find a specimen that is truly rare in the category of engineers an engineer with a sympathy for art. Hedger is greatly interested in and fully appreciates the art of music; he himself plays the piano. Because of this quality of character, Hedger is held in our highest esteem; he commands the respect of all. Then, too, Hedger be- comes still more extraordinary when we consider that, along with his apprecia- tion of art, he is remarkable as an engineer. That this is true is the result of his innate tendency to work serupu- lously, The scientific trend of Hedger's mind also has exerted an important in- fluence upon his suceess in the study of Chemistry, Hedger is the possessor of great power of will and strength of character. In addition to these two traits, he is very progressive. He sets his goal, and then sirives continually to achieve that goal.

Such is the philosophy of Russ Hunt., He contends that nega- tive comment on any question brings into the light a number of weak or un- desirable points.

Furthermore, he does not hesi- tate to expostolate upon that which he thinks, All this goes hand in hand with his philosophy as put forth in the first statement.

But unfortunately he fell in love. Although this sad fact didn't make him forget his activities in college, it did sober him up and tend to make him miss some of the good times that bachelors and widowers enjoy in college. But in the end it all hinges on what your idea of a good time is; if he would rather go shopping on Saturday afternoon than stay in Newark, we can't complain, be- cause he is choosing what he thinks is a gpood time. Jeff's main hobby is studying, If he isn't studving stresses, steains, or kilowatts, he is studving how to make a grand slam without any aces in his hand.

Bot doring his Junior vear, Dick succombed to evil influ- ences, and he and Bill MeKelvie plaved havoe with feminine hearts for a time. Now, though, Dick has returned to the fold, and he is putting all of his time into the acquirement of historical data, with which he plans to astound the col- lege student of the next generation.

He met this oe- casion as he did all others of its kind; he conld always be found in the midst of a class fight.

It would indeed be a fallacy to call one of our best friends a woman-hater, One who sces, for the first time, Harrie among the wicked sex would be inclined to place his name under this caption.

But still, anyone might make the mistake of confusing him with either of these, his fellow-ereatures. Why not? He cer- tainly is enough like either of them. In fact the first statement, namely that he is Morpheus reincarnated, is one which cannot be lightly contradicted and set aside forever., Heated controversy and serious doubts about this particular point are far from uncommon among us; nor is it unusual for a debate on Lovell's nature to settle down to the verdict: There is no reincarnation, but if there were, Lovell would most surely be the true and only latter-day Mor- pheus. But, in spite of all this, he is T:;'l:ull.'d to be an exceptional student.

In his case it is perhaps most true, for Fred has followed his courses with the utmost tenacity and insistence, He has spent more time in the drawing room and the machine shop than in any other part of college, if we except the locker room. Not only has he followed his enginecring assiduously, but he has also studied intensively upon that popu- lar course known as Mil something. Mullineaux has always been a remark- able militarist, and it is with the highest degree of efficiency that he performs the rile of top-kick in Company C of the R.O.T.C. He carries it to such a degree of reality that he is sometimes Youssed behind his back to the same extent that a regular top-kick gets in the army. But to all this he has been blissfully indifferent, and has gone his way of super-efficiency with a com- placent air about him that is beyond reproach.

He never says a great deal, speaks mostly when he is spoken to, and seldom asks anyone anything. And yet this reserved and modest youth has been described to me as a wild and dashing taxicab driver in the State Capital of Dover. He has specialized in business until he has acquired a Texan accent that would put to shame many an inhabitant of the Lone Star State. He ean audit like a C. P. A, and bookkeep like a bookie. He can railroad like Daniel Willard, and discuss economics like Carl Marx. In football season Harry tries a crack at line play. In the winter season he tosses the old baskethall about the court and occasionally through a basket. And in spring he practices pulling himself over the bar on the end of a vault pole. And in the meantime he takes his leis- ure hours and founds the sixth fratern- ity of the Delaware campus. Consider- ing his work as a whole, he has not wasted his four years, do you think?

After you know him, yeun appreciate him a great deal, and yvou realige that when he talks he has some- thing worth while saying. He puts everything into what he is deing.

Nick's experience in the world has taught him that outside the pale of the collegiate world there is a grim duty that faces every individual, and that he must know his implements if he is to be a worth while integer in the great chart of humanity. He is not a grind. He is a student. He finds spare time in which to frolic on the danee floors, attend parties, and to talk about everything with his friends. Next to his bosom friend, Charlie Green, Nick can consume more refreshments at a party than any- one else we know. But he usually does it with such a delicate finesse that he is unnoticed, with all the attention fo- cused on Charlie, Nick can always find time to de- vote to some student activity or to help a friend.

HERE is more truth than poetry in the popular song that says a smile will go a long, long way; and Francis Warner, better known in the cireles of Old Delaware as Sap, or Sappy, is a living proof of it. Rarely, if ever, may one see anything other than a smile upon Warner's face. But Warner, despite his smiling countenance, is neither an idle secker of plt'-'!mn'f, nor a man of no scrious thoughts, He appreciates the responsi- bility of life, and he carries that re- sponsibility manfully and capably. As business manager of the Blue Hen, he has been energetic and efficient, and he has successfully financed a book that is by far more expensive than any here- tofore produced. He is a worker and a 1I4Fl,'r. Warner came to the Class of 1925 as an inheritance from the ill-fated Class of 1924, from which he was absent a vear, He has been, indeed, a golden legacy and one that is cherished by every member of the group known as the class of two-bits.

Everyone likes to talk to Kim- mel at the dinner table, and everyone does, He appreciates a good joke, and especially does he play on words. We know that we shall long remember him after he has returned to his beloved France, and we hope that he will often think of his American friends of Dela- ware. 61 Sf?.x't'u e Umdar Crnm';i d - t'-.l q. . l l-:'jn I':n T'LH-J Pr'up Qs s;'.c' N 2 vy JunKen Gardaeny rF ul - ' s T s L0 u o .nm.

In football, Lew Kramer, who will eaptain the team in 1925, has been a defensive star of no mean re- pute for three seasons. Duteh Weggenman pulled a ninety-five yard run for a winning touchdown in the Washington College game during his Freshman year, and he has not been hauled in for repairs sinec. Dick Torbert has played as a regular on the Varsity defense for two seasons. Whitey Cherpak has been a D man for two scasons at the Quarter- backs position. Ducky Carlon won his letter in the back-ficld during his Sophomore year. Collison proved himself to be a powerful guard in his Sophomore year, and received his letter. Red Owens won his letter on the line position during the past sca- son. And Baxter reached out and grabbed off a letter for left-end. Al- though Hanson and Barkley are not as yet wearing letters, they have fought hard for three vears, and have rendered invaluable service to the team, Our class, as yet, has not put a man on the Yarsity Basketball team, although Prettyman, Mannix, John- son, and Jacobson have proven them- selves to be good material, This situa- tion is due to the strong basketball class ahead of us, Our letter men in baseball are Mannix, Pryor, and Carlon. Mannix was high scorer in runs during his Freshman year. He will captain the team this spring. Pryor pitched a majority of the games last year. Raught and Beck look good as twirlers, and Hen MeVaugh and Prettyman will likely compete for the first-base position this season, When it comes to the track ath- letes we can foreibly make only two statements: Baxter and Hed Evans. They are our letter men. Baxter runs the hurdles and does the high jump, and Red is our quarter- miler. Prettyman and Gregg have seored points. Prettyman scored his on a pole ten feet in the air, and Grege chased a half-mile for his, As we look back on our Lower- Classmen days, we instinetively see a few non-athletic class events stand- ing out clearly painted on the walls of time, The first of these, assuming the opening night to be zero, was the inter-class rush, which you will find in our history of the 1923 Blue Hen that we lost by means of a mis- take. The second epoch-making event was our Freshman Banguet, Encour- aged by our passing Mid-vears, we decided to pull off the banguet with one hundred per cent perfection. And we did 1t Not a elass officer was miss- ing. Everyone was in all-around high spirits; in fact, we ate on the bal- cony at the Lambros. The third event, or events rather, was Dke Stewart's weird night raids against unruly Freshmen. We had a foot- lights show all our own in Welf Hall onee upon a time. Mr. Wilkinson knows the exact date. We paid well on to one hundred dollars for the use of the finish on the piano. Finally, we recall the importance of class elee- tions. Whitey Cherpak, Jimmic Mannix, and Iick Torbert have been elected to the position of class president; Torbert, Paul Leahy, Jimmie King, and Mannix have served on the Student Council; Lew Kramer, Tank Messick, Pke Stewart, and Red Owens have been elected to the position of Vice-President, Stewart being elected to replace Messick, who entered Penn in his Sophomore year; Ducky Carlon, two terms, and Massey Gum have been chosen class seeretary; Len Jones and Bikey Barkley have handled the money as treasurer, 65 O B O Y A SO, e A i 5 ' ',.-4-.

As we look back on the past two and one-half years, we can well say, Old Delaware, you are a frictionless machine, For every effort we have put forth, you have delivered one hundred per cent results. In our Freshman year, you over-awed us; as Sophomores we humored you, but this year we appreciate the true value of a college education, e v 6 VLS ONCE A N LN S 66 S k Nl TN Ihl-i!- NS D f 28 SR S8 R MR 5 o Camum F- JAMES NELSON ABBOTT Evrrrncar Exciswemisc Witsmisarox, Derawane IH Abbott we have a man who has accomplished a great deal during his first three vears of college life, His way of doing things, however, is so guiet that those who aren't immediately con- nected with him are prone to slight his abilities.

Then he decided that Delaware was the next place to search for knowledge. In the accumulation of facts about Engineering, Ashby has held firmly his Virginia accent. This accent has such a melodious tone that quite often people forget to listen to the meaning of what he is saying and just hear the music that comes when he speaks. Ashby socon became acelimated to Newark methods and college ways, His edocation will be as complete as pos- sible for a man in college for four vears, What he has learned has been thorough, because he is naturally inguisitive. Any statements as to why a thing is, he cither knows or he finds out. He is ruathless with the fair sex, though. Not ruthless as some men are, but ruthless in the sense that he resists their advances as though they were poison. But when he does get started, if his love affairs are like his other af- fairs, his progress will surely be rapid.

Perhaps it would have been appropriate to have made it Jeffer- son Davis, anyway. For Chalfant em- bodies two warring instinctsthe one which prompts him to the study of chemistry: the other holds forth the allurements of music. Someone said that chemistry is not a study but disease. And music is not an art but a strain of insanity. If true, Chalfant is in an awful mess; elected to become a second Atterburg in chem- istry, and at the same time displays all the ear-marks of a Beethoven. Undoubtedly Dave has taken up chemistry serionsly and earnestly with the intention of learning it, living it, and thinking it. He devotes all his spare time to the chemistry labs and to look- ing up topics that particularly attract his attention in the chemical field. His other calling gives him a worth- while hobby with which to play when he wishes to relax from the ardour of his profession. He does not play jazz or syncopation, but he does love the classical masterpieces of music. 13 JOSEPH MICHAEL CHERPAK AnTs amp S CE New Brrraix, CoNNECTICUT WHITEX Fouotball 1, ; Serub Baseball 3, 2; Class President 10: Presldent Druids 21; Stodent Council 133; Abhletic Council 2; Junior Prom Committes; Sirmn No. mrey migrated to Delaware from New England, upon what pretext, we do not know.

He heard of the crack outfit that Major Row had at Delaware, and so he decided to migrate south where the military hours weren't quite so long or hard as they were at P. M. C.

Cal demonstrated his ability as a football player before it was deeided that he would be ineligible for the team on ae- cvount of the one-vear residence rule. Cal is a good friend to have, and very few want him for an enemy. His quick temper often leads him to rash words and acts, but he cools down as soon as he flares up. It's only the Irish in him that must have an outlet, and, since the Sinn Feinners are out of date, Cal resorts to more modern and nat- ural means of opening the safety valve. 76 JESSE CLYDE DAVIS ARTE AND SCIENCE Newank, Deraware v Foollull 1, 2, 3 H .'i vy Track 11; Rifle Temm 1, 23; Viee Pres- ilent Y M,C.

Probably his greatest outstanding asset is his aptitude for cartooning and caricature, exercised, as it has been, at the cXpense of our august I',.'u'uhlr. For who will forget those most lanzhahble likenesses drawn on notices for Chi Rho Round Tahle meetings that so often amused usand chagrined certain mem- bers of the Faculty? Truly, Taylor exercised his gifts in the proper way ! His preference in scholarly pursuits has been, indeed, a vacillating matter.

Torbert does have soulful eves, and let him once be seated before an open fire- place with some fair person with whom to build air castles, he's a world beater.

He is neither prudish nor a fop. Every- thing that 1Yck does is in good taste. He does everything well. Dick's de- cisions are never made rashly, or with- out weighty and serions consideration. He believes that there should be a log- ical reason underlyving every act, If he cannot furnish a logical reason, he does not act.

Bob looks as lIHJll;:II he has sue- ceeded.

And so, instead of being exposed to dormitory life and the Commons, he lives at home amidst all the pleasures and advantages of mar- ried life, and enjoys the privilege of going to college at the same time, Of ecourse, being a member of the School of Rehabilitation, Yocum does not often come in contact with the other students of the college. He is taking a course that restricts him mostly to the precinets of Wolf Hall and the Fxperi- ment Farm, and we of the other schools see little of him. We do, however, know that he saeri- ficed a great deal as a world war soldicr and that he has come to Delaware in order to fit himself more fully for his strugele in the world later on. He is maore sober than the most of us, and his purpose in life is more clearly defined. 101 Absent In Paris, France ROBERT DUDLEY JOHNSON ARTS AND BCIENCE Bavrismons, MAiRvLAND ilDU'DTl Vaorsity Tennis 1, 211 Scrub Baskethall 1, 25 ETY bl 1, il, Foreign Study l ruup 8; Slgma Phi Epsilon, Dun:.m' came to Delaware mostly be- cause his older brother came here, and Dudley wanted to find out if it were like what lis brother claimed for it. At any rate, Dudley arrived here in 1922, and, upon learning about the Foreign Study Plan, decided that he would try a throw at gay Paris. Being a good French student, Dudley expe- rienced little difficulty in sceuring faculty permission, and so we find him over in Europe at this time, imbibing French language, literature, and wine. Dudley, before his little jaunt into forcign lands, was very active around Delaware., As a teanis player, Dudley had no trouble at all annexing two letters in tennis, at which sport he is very proficient, He also took a try at basketball for two years and, although he never made a varsity letter, he was always on the squad and gave his op- ponent a good workout for his berth, We hear that he is playing forward with the American team in Paris this year, Dudley left here with affections un- attached, and it is feared from all re- ports of his letters that he might follow the example of an eminent French scholar around here, and come back from Paris encumbered.

Holding down half of a class is a pretty big job, but we do not doubt that Wilson can ably do this bit of work. He was always interested in any work that pertained to the fields of literature or art, and before he sojourned to France he did some very much appre- ciated work on the Review and the Blue Hen. Over there we can easily visualize Graham and Johnson nonchalantly pe- rusing the wonder works of the French museums and art galleries. No doubt Graham takes a great deal of pleasure in his visits among the masterpicces of Europe, but there is also an inkling that he may take an equal amount of pleas- ure in his seances in the cafds and coffec-houses of the same place, There are so many things in Europe that one cannot be supposed to be forever within the walls of some place of aesthetic edifieation when one may stroll along the boulevards and sec sights equally gratifying to the other senses. 102 Wi 4 'wl:. e o T G j S S S e O e A ALLJI-LJ.A., DAL 3 ';:- :: ?'f'f:;:g w z - SO RO, AR RS R R AN Py 8 In Memoriam ?

We paid Bus Wilkinson, doenned our little red caps, and opened an account at Doc lIIlllIl'H. tEIl.'Il came the fireworks, T he Sophomores organ- ized us into im- promptu glee clubs and displayed our talent to the people of Newark. That, with pushing pennies with our noscs along rough cement pave- ment s, constituted our P.E. course until the Sophomores saw fit to take us to a Ypetting party in Wolf Hall, with Kramer doing the petting. The Rush on Frazer Field was an cminent failure all around. The Saphs, in their nervousness lest they should lose, kidnapped all our fight- ers ; then they strode out on a nearly empty Frazer Field and, with chests thrown out, declared themselves glorious victors. We trailed, too, in football and track, and it was not until spring that we achieved a com- plrh' .'iL'thj.' over the Hl::l-ll-ll.'i h. - fai rJJ..' :i'.'fl'l:l.ti.ng tl'lt'lll i:ll n .I:JPI.HC IHI..H H,IJHU.

':;llr JJI::IPLW were more than fulfilled, The whaole HI!E!JIHIIHJFL' Class was there, and the whole Sophomore Class was armed for the fray. But what mat- tered some flour and u little hydrogen sul- phide gas to a band of Freshman, who had survived the mid- vears and who were seeing a good show at the Playhouse and were about to enjoy a pood banquet in the Grill Room? What mattered it, espe- ciaily after they had eaptured part of the enemy's banner? The dances, tests, Famnes, and Sunday noon parades with W.CD. girls runs quickly through the hour-glass of college, and brings us to the jubilant bonfire at the Womens College at lnitluighf of Mu.t' 15th, that memor- ever the name of rat and burned one of the symbolie marks of a Freshmanour baskets, But the vear had nol imN.-u':l with- Lolman, and Huabert had all won their 10'sM in Varsity football, MPaul Garvine as Frl'r:-ii:it'rll, Bue- ceeded at mid-years by Viee-President John Maguire, had safely guided the Class of 27 through its fateful first year, In the fall, with Bill Lohman s our pilot, we entered ns Sophomores, To sct the wheels turning, the first night we attacked a nearly double gand of after- 106 T o QWMT; RO Lo TR 'L 'Wf: BLUC HEN j;gg' i R W AT T A e R oS strength of Freshmen with the be- nevolent intention of giving them a free automobile ride into the country and letting them find their way home by the stars. But the erowd was too strong for us and we took out only o nfew, A passing fracas now and then was all that took place until the tug- of-war in October. Here our class was gloriously victorious, pulling the Freshman team of picked men into White Clay Creck and repeating the feat when the:,r eried Unfair. That night, just to fix the impression of superiority made during the after- noon, we gave the whole Freshman Class a trip into the country, Rumor has it that one Freshman was missed that night ; but, like all other rumors, the fact is doubtful. Agnin in track the vrats bowed to us and after that we followed up our victories with a triumph over them in football. In Varsity foothall, -w ta- NN N R too, we had nothing to complain of, We still had four wearers of the D, Garvine being replaced by Wooten. On Decomber 20th, the Sopho- mores journeyed to Wilmington laden with the munitions of war, for the Freshman Banquet was seheduled, But, between the fact that the Fresh- men hid out of range under the bal- cony and the fact that half a dozen husky bulls watched us like con- viets, there was no opportunity what- ever for a good old-time bombard- ment, But onee more the Sophomores triumphed through their heavenly position by tipping the man who worked the spotlights to put our numerals prominently on the cartain between the acts at both intermis- sions. Here ends a part of the autobiog- raphy of the Class of 27, born Sep- tember 21, 1923, never to die. 107 o7 y A0S WoF X 108 19 CLASE OF Sophomore lass Roll Ammorr, Enwarn Nonsax, SE XNwrm ALkS.

Perhaps we were a bit tamer when we entered college lust September than most young grnHv- men in their first yvear here, but we were a bit more edueated that's all. Our first night showed that we necded but little coaching in the art of class fighting ; for we were the first class that ever defeated a Sophomore Class the first night on the eampus, The Sophs walted so lnllg that they inspired us to a fighting pitch, rather than dampening and depressing our morale. Consequently the student Council called it off after the tide had turned so Iw.ru'il-!r' ugui!'mt the anlm that it looked like a massacre. Six Sml'lh.-c were treated h:s' the doctor. Of course, our annual elass rush had alse to be different from that of any other class. Instead of a Frazer Field rush, we had a tug-of-war across White Clay Creek. We, bowing to tradition, took the short end of the deal, and were ingloriously ifraggwf twice Illruugh the icz,r and refreshing waters, amidst the thun- derous applanse of both Delaware College and the Women's College stu- dents who assembled to drink cider, eat pretzels, and see the fight. Our foothall game with the Sophs turned out to be another loss, al- GERALD POOLE PREsinexT Hlmlgh it was a IEghIlJ.' hattled con- test, ending 7 to 3. Loveland proved his merit in this game by drop-kick- ing a field goal in the second half, and it was not until the final moments that the Sophs scored their touchdown, We gave them a dandy run for their money. Then we came back later on and deei- sively defeated the entire upper classes in basketball, which assuaged the defeat the Sophs gave us in a track and field mect. In the elass haskethall vicetor y Lichenstein, Wilson, Hayes, and Creamer figured the hest. 'l'lw.y' !HH.'FI I1'1't'j 1'1 ' t Ell. iT' numerals, We have thus far eontributed liberally towards the major sports of the college. Reyhold, Hopkins, and McKaskey received their Varsity I for football, and Lichenstein his I in basketball, We hupc also to have several hase- ball and track men. For officers we clected Gerald Poole, President; Marian Hopkins, Vice-President ; Homer Lynch, Secre- tary ; Frank Hoopes, Treasurer, and Broddus Jones, Historian. Lynch and Poole ran for the Student Council, Poole winning the finals, McLucas and Morris show promise on the Re- view, both of them also making a place on the Blue Hen Staif. Thus far we have only started on our career. We have always played a safety-first policy. Our Freshman Banquet was executed so efficiently 114 and precisely that everyone who started for the affair got there finally, and so well were we protected that no trouble ensued, although the usual entertainment took place in the Playhouse and the lobby leading to the Grill where we enjoyed our cats.

Winston WaLKER THE FOREIGN STUDY PLAN AND INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Hj' Ita EROon d W. Kirkh J'fril', Director rr.,f the Divizion U.f' Funljlqu Mt .l.rdlj'll A-'-H'-Errthfs new position as a leading world power brings with it a corre- sponding educational need. To take part effectively in international affairs, we must know something about our world neighbors, we must be able to speak their language, we must be familiar with their history, their geography, their art, their literature; we must know their products and their markets; we muost understand their ways of living and their ways of thinking; we must be in touch with their business, political, intellectual and social leaders., The new task placed upon our educational institutions is plain, Until today we have been content to prepare our students for American citizenship, We must now go beyond that and prepare them for world citizenship. The educational demand ereated by this evolution is two-fold; general and professional. On the one hand we must create in our country a great mass of men and women in all walks of life who understand and appreciate foreign countries and foreign conditions, whose horizon is world-wide instead of merely local. On the other hand, we must train an elite of specialists in forcign affairs and foreign languages, diplomatic and commereial specialists to represent our Government and our business houses abroad and to direct our foreign departments at home, and teaching specialists in foreign languages and 122 n'!!f g L i LT AT kel i 4 e 52 v 5 23 y 22 19 Ty l. ik - L5 - N b Ll R T Rl o LSS - H Faii DILMVIL VYO history for our schools and colleges. In the first ease there will be the student who has merely a gencral interest in foreign affairs, without expecting to make a life work of it. In the second case there will be the stadent who wishes to enter definitely upon a foreign career or to become a teacher of foreign subjects using his foreign training in preparation for his profession, Ed There is only one adequate answer to this problem, whether it be a question of general or professional training and that is: Foreign Study. The fundamental elements of all international education are a knowledge of foreign languages, and a familiarity with foreign countries. The two points are com- plementary, each insufficient without the other. The writer contends that there is only one way to learn a foreign language, only one way to become familiar with a foreign country, and that is to go and study the language and the country at first-hand, It is impossible to master a foreign language in three or four class-periods a week in the face of the handicap of using English the rest of the time, It is just as impossible to become acquainted with a foreign country out of a mere texthook of cold printed pages. One cannot learn a foreign language without going where he has to use it, any more than ene can learn to swim without going in the water. One cannot know a foreign country without seeing it, any more than one can know a person without meeting him. In short, foreign study is the sine gua non of a foreign training, If foreign study is te become the basis of our international education, as the writer helieves is indispensable, it must be incorporated in our regular college program and made available to the average American student. Until now the majority of Americans studying abroad have been college graduates doing research work, or students from families in residence abroad. Most of them have been working entirely on their own initiative, without any definite direction toward international training and without any formal provision being made for them in their home institutions. By reason of this lack of organization, the question of foreign study for international training has scareely been touched. As a first step toward the development of a comprehensive foreign study program, the University of Delaware offers to the edocational world the Foreign Study Plan, making supervised, undergraduate, foreign study a recognized part of the regular college course. The work abroad is supervised because the educational systems in other countries are so radieally different from our own that the unguided American student could not be expected to make the most efficient nse of his time. It is andergraduate beeause the learning of a foreign language, with the civilization, literature, history and general culture of a foreign country, is distinetly undergraduate work and should be done in the undergraduate years. The Foreign Study Plan, on a one-yvear basis, has already been put into operation for France, and a Foreign Study Burean has been established in Paris. The Junior year has been chosen as the most practical, at least for the initiation of the project, and opportunity is now provided for students to spend their entire Junior vear in France, with full eredit for all work successfully completed abroad. For the moment, the scope of the Foreign Study Plan as organized at the University of Delaware is restricted to a general foreign training, as distinguished from the pro- fessional, the attention of the Division of Foreign Study being devoted to the perfecting of the one-year plan as it has been started, S B O A 123 mcrm-u-mt FrT 'r:,Ej This general foreign training, with the Junior vear in a foreign country, is readily adaptable to the American A B, course, and, aside from the Foreign Study organization abroad, can be carried on with the facilities already exist- ing in the average American college or university. Any Junior, from any school, with the proper preparation in French, could profitably take advantage of the Junior yvear abroad under the Delaware Foreign Study Bureau, and could return to his home institution for his Senior year without any serious derange- ment of his college schedule. This general phase of foreign training lends itself to indefinite expansion, The professional training, or specialized preparation for a definite foreign eareer or for the teaching of foreign subjects, will demand a separate school, with a more elaborate foreign organization and a distinct foreign training curriculum, In the first place, one year of forcign study is not enough for the specialist. The period should be increased to cover at least the Sophomore and Junior years, instead of only the Junior year, as in the general program. In the second place, a special schedule of courses of more or less technical character will have to be established at the home institution to cover the time spent in America before and after the foreign study peried. The expansion of the professional phase of Foreign Study will be governed by the demand for its students after gradustion, and will naturally be confined to a limited number of institutions, The ultimate development of our program of international education must provide for both general and professional foreign training. The Foreign Study organization must be extended to include not only French-speaking France, but also Spanish-speaking Argentina and other countries until all the principal nations and languages of the world are open to our students. Nothing less thorough than the Foreign Study Plan can offer a proper prep- aration for world citizenship. Nothing less radical than the Foreign Study Plan can offer an adequate training for the exacting requirements that our international activities will impose, Ravumonn W.

As the execotive and judicial body of the Student Government Association, it is responsible for the welfare of the student body and the various complex activities of the students. Upon the Council's diseretion depends the legislation of the by-laws or rules by which the conduct of the students is regulated ; membership is, therefore one of the highest honors that a student may attain. The Council consists of ten members: four from the Senior Class, three from the Junior Class, two from the Sophomore Class, and one from the Freshman Class, all of whom, with the exception of the Freshman member, are elected in May at the general elections of the whole student body. The Freshman member is elected in the early part of the second semester. Although the Council handles all matters of a non-curricular nature, its chief function is to enforee the Honor System and try all cases in violation of it. The Honor System, as the name implies, is a system that places the student on his honor in all college work and examinations, It simply means that the students play the game on the squarcthat they stand by the prin- STUDENT COUNCIL 1923-1924 O flicers Joux Scuaerer, 24, Presidont Joux G.

By means of principle, the students may take their examinations in rooms where, after starting or assigning the questions, the instructor leaves and thereafter remains absent..On each student's paper is placed a pledge which he signs, if, according to his sense of honor, it has been lived up to both in word and spirit. This pledge is to the effect that the student has neither given nor received aid in the examination, and, if he has seen anyone acting dishonorably, he shall report the violator to the Student Couneil. The penalty for violation of this pledge is expulsion from college. All other offenses are subject to such penalties as the Council deems necessary. When necessary, decisions of the Council are enforced by the Faculty or Trustees, Another important task that the Council performs is the editing of the Freshman Handbook. This hook contains all important information that the first-year men should know, such as Delaware's history, traditions, oTganiza- tions, ete., and it must be carried at all times by the Freshmen. As a badge of authority and in appreciation of their services, Council members are presented with a black silk fob bearing a gold charm upon which is engraved the old Roman fasces. 127 DERELICTS 1824 Hexny 5.

The Delaware Chapter, Epsilon, was founded in the fall of 1922, when the Blue Lantern Societya similar Sophomore society founded in 1920 by members of the Class of 1923 was taken into the National Organization. The Ideals of the Frateenity are support of the Institution, fellowship, support of Freshman rules and student traditions, support of unbiased politics, scholarship, and athleties. Membership is limited to fifteen men each year, chosen in the latter part of the college vear. The Druids of 1927, as a group, have been successful in many ways. In order to acquaint the members of the Class of 1928 with the Ideals of the Society and to instill in them a desire to make the Druids, the active Druoids, with support of inactive members, staged a big smoker in October. This was eminently suceessful. The Druids were also of real service to the Institution in securing pledges from the Freshman Class for the Library Campaign. From time to time, on the Bulletin Board and in the Review, advice to Freshmen has appeared under the heading of Druid Din. The Druid Convention Dance held in Old College was a gala event.

In addition to these activities as a group, as individual Druids they have stimulated interest in athletics, scholarship, campus activities, and good-fellow- ship, J The Fourth National Ddruid Convention, which was held at the University of Delaware this year, was in every respect the best Convention ever held by the Fraternity., It was mainly through the efforts of Epsilon Chapter, always with excellent cooperation on the part of the inactive Druids, that the visiting Druid Delegates were left with the true impression that Delaware is a real University, and that its student body is composed of representative college men. Although there has been much adverse criticism of the Droid Socicty this vear, it is the consensus of opinion of the students and faculty of Delaware that Epsilon Chapter, under the leadership of J. E. Harper, J. C, Ever, and M. N. Donohue, has more than justified its existence on the campus as an active college organization working always for the welfare of the Alma Mater. The Druids of 1827 wish the incoming members of the Society, Diruids of 1928, much suceess in their school tasks as Druoids, 131 THE REVIEW STAFF Tlll-'. University of Delaware Heview is a student newspaper, published on Fridays during the college year, in which are printed the more important items of the campus and of college life. Although net a purely literary publication, nevertheless occasional attempts at this type of writing appear now and then in its columns, as do also some bits of collegiate humor. The editorial policy varies each year as a new editor from the student body takes charge of the paper, but the basis of each of these policies is always to present the truth and to aid in the cultural expansion of the University. Although formerly a Delaware College publication, The Heview was expanded in 1924 into the newspaper of the students of both the Women's College and Delaware College, and became the official student publication of the University. The Review is a member of the Inter-collegiate News- paper Association, and several of the officers of this organization in recent vears have been members of The Review Stafl. The Review is forty-one years old. It was preceded by the Delaware College Advance, which was published over half a century ago. The Review is supported entively from paid subseriptions and by local and national advertisements. It is printed in Newark at Kells. 132 T FOOTLIGHTS CLUB Chfficers Cuanres E. Greex, 25 .....

Secretary Jases Dwevry, 25, Husiness Manager T ue Footlights Club holds for its purpose the presentation of plays, both comedy and tragedy, musical reviews, farces, and vandeville in Newark or elsewhere as conditions may determine. The present organization has, in the past, traveled all over the state in order to have a wider scope for their audicnces. It is to be, according to the members of the club, a new tradition for at least, one play to be produced outside of Newark each year, The Footlights Club is limited to a membership of ffteen students, Those wishing to be eligible for admission must prove their shility by some form of dramatic work. The method of selecting members is, therefore, on the basis of the work done by the student which extends to the fields of acting, scene designing, stage management, and the writing of plays. The business staff, also, allows opportunity for membership. Any student may take part in the productions of the organization if he so desires. In fact, invitations are sent out for any suggestions concerning stage- craft, original one-nct and full-length plays to the student body at large. The Footlights Club has never been at a loss after the productions of any of its plays, and the financial standing of the club is, perhaps, the strongest on the eampus. There is a clubroom in Old College Hall which is decorated with secnes from the plays of the past, This year every member of the club was presented with a gold wateh charm which was especially designed by Roger Taylor, Beginning some few vears back as an infant organization, it has, year by vear, steadily grown to be one of the foremost; and its brag has it that the Footlights Club is the most active. 133 YARSITY CLUB Officers WILLIAM 8.

Because of the small student body, it is extremely hard for a cheer leader to get any gratifying amount of noise from the stands during games, but in so far as it is hamanly possible, Charlie Green and his cheer leaders have suceeeded nobly. For the services of cheer lead- ing the Student Council awarded to the Senior leaders, Green and Siegrist, small gold megaphones with a blue D thereon.

Meetings are held weekly and at frequent periods during the year men prominent in their ficld are brought to Delaware to speak to the Ags' on some particular subject. Illustrated lectures are often given in Wolf Hall. Fducational trips throughout adjacent country are taken by the Club under the supervision of the Agricultural professors. Dairies, produce farms, and orchards are visited and inspected, and a great deal of practical knowl- edge that could be gained in no other way is secured by the Ags. Thus the Club may be classed not only as an active organization but as an educational medium as well. 186 ENGINEERING CLUB O fficers Hemsenr Ickuen ...

Any engineering student is eligible for membership and about forty per cent of them take advantage of their opportunity. The Club was at one tume the Delaware Chapter of the American Association of Engincers, but this last year it has become loeal, The scope of the organmization is the same, however, as that of the national society, Lectures by leading engineers are given under the auspices of the Club. Educational trips are taken through large factories and plants in the surrounding territory., Through the medium of such tours, the student is given an insight nte the practical aspeet of engineering, and it thus fits him more fully for the time of his graduntion, The Club usually holds an annual banguet at the end of the year, 187 - -GEN: 5 N G SRR A N B e e e d ot o - 1 i '.. : R - T - ?rh .

The club was first organized six or eight vears ago for the pur- pose of stimulating student interest in chemistry, That is now its primary purpose. The club holds its regular meetings at times conve- nient to its members. An address by some prominent chemist is ordinarily the main feature of each meeting. The talks are always on subjects relating to chemistry, but they are usually of such a nature as to be interesting and instructive to any student. Members of the elub in the Senior, Junior and Sopho- more classes are in the habit of making trips to various manufacturing plants at certain times during the year. These trips supply the students with a practical knowl- edge of the applications of theoretical chemical prin- ciples. The membership of the club includes the faculty of chemistry of Delaware College, students in the Chem- ical Engineering course and students in the Arts and Science course who are majoring in Chemistry. 138 188 A Review of Delaware Drama Twurv. during the last vear and a half, exactly four dramatic presen- tations.

It was given for one performance on December 13, 1923, at Wolf Hall. The play itself, if a criticism of Shaw is permitted at this late date, was not a brilliant work. Neither was the way in which it was prmluuull. The influence of the manner, prob- al:rl.v, in which it was enacted, may have been the cause for its dullness. The same play, it will be remembered, when translated into French and pro- duced at Paris, was a marked success, The reason, ne doubt, is that the text calls for a saucy rendering of the lines and a eertain buoyvancy of the action which is more under the con- trol of the French and their attitude toward hife than with the students of this university. Mevertheless, taken all in all, it was, at least, an ambitious attempt on the part of the students to present H Y hl.'l'iull?i-r:l.rri:'al :I.li!l..'r' ill h jllll'f';i'llt' serious manner, Miss Wigley was a trifle above par in her role of the little ignorant strect urchin and her leading man, Mr. Frederick Smith, had no diffieulty, exeept with the love seenes, which were just the least il erude, in rendering a convineing type IJE Ht.H.gP Jll'l'll, 3IEhH I;Ulli:ik Jiu'li.HllH.' serious and patient to the point of admiration, did her utmost with the directing of this play. It is with the :'nrllrmlnluliun of the next play, this time given by the members of the thtligllt.-i Club, that one is at a loss to know how to treat such a bizarre affair, The play was The Night Cap, by Guy Bolton and Max Marcin. I, too, was presented in Wolf Hall in April, 1924, It can readily be seen that a radieal jump was taken by the l!fu:.'ul't'miing committee, whoever tht'y are, or is, when this play was selected as a representation of the histrionic abilities of the students, From Shaw to Bolton and Marcin! Shaw, the preatest sativist of the age, gave place this time to two of the best- known hack-writers along Broadway. As dramatists they register zero; as playwrights they are fairly good first-rate fourth-rate stage techni- cians. The play, in itself, was, at best, nothing more than cheap, gaudy, puerile, melodrama with a mystery theme and two or three murders every half-hour or so thrown in for good e slre, The play was eventually produced, That evening after the first act the house was in an uproar. The actors, unfortunately, suddenly forgot their 'irlt'H H.ll.ll Ill.iL 1-'1lil,'l' IF'F +.hl.' 'IJI'l!ll'IFrI:i'l' was distinetly heard in every part of the house; two of the wings nearly fell down and might have done serious injury to the inspiring Thespians, But, alas! ironical as it was, the audience, who were under the impres- sion that they had come to see a mystery play, realized that here was one of the greatest farces that had 140 ever heen put on the boards in the vieinity of Newark., Those who had paid their money were satisfied, The play was, in short, a decided success, Everyone had gotten a good laugh. The stock of the Footlights Club shot up. All the erities were unanimous in its faver. There was one, of course, who riled it in the pages of The Review. He knew of what good drama should consist, The honors of the evening, for the acting, were hard to dispose of 3 for, in the words of the writer in The Review, they were all so bad that it was difficult to pick the worst, Hy- man Yanowitz, who had been given the measly rile of the butler, ran off with the show and his acting was be- yond reproach. After some thought, the same can be said, not as it seems s0 long ago and a eertain mellowness has set in which places a halo around the memories of yesterday, that everyone did his best. Nothing more can, therefore, be said about the play. The members of the Footlights Club did the best that they knew how te do. The fault rested in the selection of the play and the manner of its di- rection. Both Miss Frances Waorthington and Miss Louise Brooks, who had kindly consented to lend their ser- viees, played the female riles very well. The others who at this late date should he given some recognition for their services were Charles Gireen, Paul Leahy, William Hill, James Deputy, and Clifford Smith, On the following May the members of the Footlights Club decided to present a musical review, There was to be no attempt whatever at any- thing that smacked of the high-brow or the classical. They suceeeded. And, furthermore, it was one of the best productions that the Footlights Club ever put on, There were a num- ber of different acts and each one was different, There were song and dance numbers, There were little skits that evoked thunders of merry laughter and repeated curtain ealls, The honors of the evening went to Messrs, Deputy and Hobbs, These two yvoung men had written a gentle satire en the performance of Romeo and Juliet, us it had been produced by Jane Cowl and Rollo Peters in Wilmington the preceding month. Of eourse, as the sober minded among us reflected, it was absurd. Buot its absurdity was well-founded. Tt was, to say the least, quite the cleverest thing of the evening. My, Hobbs, in exact imitation of Miss Cowl at her Wilmington performance, made a de- lightful curtain speech wherein she he apologized for spoiling that lovely balcony seene, The book of ctiquette had warned her not to cough in publie, but chewing tobacco is not a simple matter and if one swallows the juice, then, she felt en- tirely innocent of maliciously con- spiring against Mr. Shakespeare, The songs of the evening were fine, The dancing was well-ordered, The character sketches were as well done as one sees in vaudeville, In short, it plainly pointed out the fact that when left to seleet their own form of amusement the students were quite in their native element: bur- lesque. But, as has been said before, it was polite burlesque, Tt appealed, paradoxically as it may seem, to the professor of ancient languages, and the agriculture students alike. A ri- action remarkable in itself. That is, it clearly manifested its universal- ity, which, as it is constantly taught in the classroom, is the first requisite of any great art. FErgo, Smacks and Cracks, as the performance was 141 T labeled, must, out of necessity and logie, be called great art. There were no more performances until the next school year commenced in the fall of 1924, The theory that everything travels in eyeles was once more elearly shown by the next play that was put on. It was no other than Thsen's Ghosts. This produetion was remarkable in that its entire period of rehearsal, as well as the performance itself, was en- tirely cloaked in mystery. No one knew when it was to be offered. It wasn't. That is, it was not a publie affair. The student body was not al- lowed to attend, except a private showing, at which time invitations were sent to some of the Seniors and the members of the faculty. Whether or not it was thought ad- visable not to corrupt the minds of the young with such a sinister theme as this play put forth is, even at this late date, unknown. Nevertheless, only the chosen few witnessed Yhosts, But, as it has often been pondered over, if the reason for not allowing the student body to view the play was, as has been pointed out, the fear of corrupting their minds, why, then, was it that the males of the east were entirely Freshmen? But that, it is feared, will remain one of the great mysteries that defy solu- tion. Ghosts was produced . by the Womens College., Male students, freshmen, supported them. Whether or not the production was a sueeess had better be left unsaid.. It wasn't, by the way. The Footlights Club were at a loss for their next performance. There was some rumor of a play being pro- duced which was written by a sto- dent, James Grant ; but through dis- ey ..li 'JJH;W ot T i o e T s VP2 THE BLUT REN by WO W S L SRS PR S interest and the consumption of time by the other activitics around the campus, it was never even sent into rehearsal. The English department conneeted with the university thought it ad- visable to take the reins in their hands. The result was that a new aystem was urgani?.cd at Delaware. School eredits were to be given for work in dramatics. One credit was to be given for those who played the major riles and half a credit was to go to those who played minor parts, Like all other sports at the univer- sity, the whole affair was to be based on a purely competitive scale. For every play that was to be produeed there were to be two casts. Fach character of the play was to be understudicd, The student whose acting showed up best in the rehear- sals was to be given the part. The other one was, however, to receive the same scholastie eredit whether he ap- pearcd in the production or not. And, if necessity demanded, he or she would be able to jump right into the part of the student selected should he or she be suddenly taken ill, or by some other means should be unable to Appear. The plan, as it is, is excellent. It plainly shows that some steps are being taken to place Delaware on a firm basis as far as theatries are con- cerned, It was through the diligent labor of Professor Yan Keuren that all this was made possible and to him should go the rewards for making possible this organized treatment of a vital activity of college life, At the time the Blue Hen went into print The Dover Road, by A. A. Milne, had been selected and had gone into rehearsals for an carly spring production, R MmN Ao 142 S 3! Tener GTa Tapar ' KAPPA ALPHA Fratres in Facultate Pror. Grorce F. Durrox Canr J.

PHI KAPPA PHI Pllt Karra Pui is the only scholastic honorary society at the Uni- versity of Delaware. It has Ilrrivtimluj.' the same standards as has Phi Beta Kappa, and the men who attain this honor are awarded it upon the same merits as those required by Phi Beta Kappa., Men from any school in the University are eligible for membership, there being no limitation placed upon it. The basis for mmnbcmhip is leadership in scholastic attainment during the first three vears of college as an undergraduate. Faculty members who have proved their ability and interest in scholarship are also voted into the society. 156 Nlitary at Delaware 19221923 e spring of 1923 saw the R.Q,T.C, Battalion of the University of Delaware reach its highest apex in the history of the college, for the grand culmination of our military inspection of that spring, our classroom work, and our big demonstration of field tactics brought us the exceptional honor of being rated as a Distinguished Military College, of which there are now only two in the Second Corps Area. Dela- ware is one, and Cornell the other. Since this honor, the Battalion has endeavored to maintain the high morale and organization pride which was di- rectly responsible for our accomplish- ment in June, 1923, We were equally gratified in June, 1024, when we learned that we had again been denoted as Distinguished College. Too much emphasis eannot be given to the distinction thus bhrought to the doors of Old Delaware. We are perhaps the smallest college in the whole Corps Area, and the feat of being made Dis- tinguished College from all the com- petition that we naturally encountered is not to be disdained. Major Row is largely to be thanked for bringing about our good fortune, As a commandant, Major How was energetic, fore-sighted, and conscien- tious, These qualities, coupled with his ability to organize and his sincere ad- miration and love for Delaware College and Delaware men, could do no less than bring success to his efforts, and it is almost entirely due to him that Delaware was made distinguished, The Battalion, during the year of 192223, was commanded by Cadet 1 Major Richardson Cole, who had pre- viously scen service in the A.E.F. Earl Brandt was Adjutant with the rank of Cadet Captain. The three Company Commanders were Cadet Captain Wal- lace Cook, Company A; Cadet Cap- tain Edwin Hoeey, Company B; and Cadet Captain John F. Challenger, Company C. With a staff of officers of such calibre and spirit as these men, Delaware could scarcely help but suc- ceed. Captain Roy Sparks, Captain William Morse, and Major Row neted as coaches and directors of the three Companies. The competitive drill in 1923 was especially keen. The three Companies were in top shape, and were so evenly balanced that there was scarcely any perceptible difference among them. Company B, the habitual winner of the medal, was the favorite, however, throughout the drill: but Company C, hardly considered until elose-order drill came off, came through in big style and won the sabre for Captain Challenger. The demonstration of a tactical prob- lem proved to be a deciding factor in the minds of the inspecting officers from Washington. A sham battle, in which the three Companies were united into one war-strength Company, was given on the grounds of the Newark Country Club. The exceptionally fine behavior of the cadets and their business-like exeeution of the problem erased any doubt in the minds of our visitors from the Capital. Shortly after school elosed in June, we received intelligence that we had been named Distinguished Col- It!gl:. 1923-192 The following year saw several in- novations that proved very beneficial to the appearance of the Battalion. Major Row, through a new system of finance and management, provided for tailor-made uniforms for the two upper claszes. Each Senior and Junior was given a regular officer's tailor-made uniform, and each of the cadet commis- sioned officers was given a Sam Browne Belt and leather puttecs. Another in- stitution was installed that made each Senior a commissioned or non-commis- sioned ofhicer. The remaining non-coms were chosen from the Junior ranks, The Battalion was commanded by Cadet Major Frederick B, Smith. The post of Adjutant with the rank of Cadet Captain was awarded John Schaefer. The three Companies were commanded by Cadet Captain Harold Clift, Com- pany A; Cadet Captain Wilbur S, Shockley, Company B; and Cadet Captain Jeffries Hoaghland, Company This vear the Battalion maintained the high rating that it had reached the previous year. The inspection came off on a dirty, drizzling, rainy day, and the competitive drill was executed in the face of a steady downpour that soaked the men. The spirit of the Bat- talion was not in the least dampened, however, and the bovs drilled like hard- ened campaigners, The field problem the next day was given as efficiently as the drill, Company B, under Cadet Captain Wilbur 8. Shockley, brought back the medal and the sabre to the B colors, The same year saw the Second Mil- itary Ball that has ever been given here at Delaware, the first being back in 1902, The function was conducted under the auspices of the Military De- partment and proved to be a very en- Jovable social event, The Commons was decorated in military style with stacked arms and machine guns placed about in the windows and corners of the room. The hours were formal. 1924-1925 The Class of 1925 invaded Plattsburg in June, 1924, with a contingent of thirty men, who prm'rmlt'il under the tutelage of Captain Roy Sparks and Captain Willinm Morse to clean up' about every honor that was hang- ing loose around the Platts- burg R. O. T. C. quarters, The Delaware men were fortunate in that Captain Sparks was assigned by Licutenant - Colonel Camyp- bell to the position of Sup ply Officer of Company A, the Delaware outht. Cap- L tain Sparks, although Sup- ply Officer, was in charge of the Company a greater part of the time, His true Dela- - ware spirit and his never- tiring interest and liking for the Delaware bovs imbued them with a pride and mo M. GUM, 2d rale that accomplished a greal deal in the way of mil- itary honors, To begin with, Delaware men comprised half of Com- pany A. The rest of A was male up of men from Rutgers and Cornell, with a couple of men from La- favette, Delaware started things off by liualif-ving more men than any other school in the entire camp in not only rifles and pistols, but in the machine gun sec- tion as well, Not content with this, they produced the highest shot in pistol and machine gun work. Massey Gum, a Sophomore taking his work with the Juniors, held the steadiest arm and eve on the range where the Colt 45 prevailed, and for hiz serviee he was rewarded 158 with a handsome silver loving cup. In the machine-gun section, Russel P. Hunt ran up the highest score. Then, to culminate their conguests, the Delaware rifle team, composed of Skewis, Jackson, Shuster, Lowher, Donaldson, and Rinard, won the Tnter- Collegiate Rifle Championship of the camp. This brought home a valuable silver plague to the Military Office. The Delaware stay at Plattsburg ended in a brilliant social affair which should not be slighted. On the evening before final manoeuvers, the entire Delaware contingent attended a ban- quet in the Hotel Cumberland at Platts- burg. This affair was attended not only by the Delaware men, but also by Captain Sparks, Captain Morse, Captain Rhodes, the Company Com- mander, and Lieatenant Lovejoy of the Publicity Staff. The two Staff Sergeants, Davis and Nelson, were also our guests. The dinner was a great success and every man there pro- nounced it to be the most celebrated event of his school eareer. The evening was rendered exceedingly entertaining by the work of Stump Crothers, Choe Gibson, Russ Hunt, Dick Long, and Charlie Green, who put on several skits and recitations, The banguet lasted from eight in the even- ing until three the next morning, S0 far this vear the Battalion has endeavored to keep up the record of the outtit, The winter months of drill have been handicapped by bad weather and a great many periods have been devoted to some other phase of the work rather than drill in the inclement weather, The Cadet Staff this year is composed of capable officers and hopes are enter- tained for another eitation as Distin- guished College. Cadet Major Jolin G. Leach is Com- mander of the Battalion., Francis G. Miller, with rank of Captain, is Ad- jutant. The three Companies are pi- loted by Cadet Captain Ralph L. France, Company A, Cadet Captain William 5. Jackson, Company B, and Cadet Captain Roger W. Cann, Com- pany C. 159 On January 20th of this year the Bat- talion went to Dover, where it formed the main division of the military parade at the Inauguration of Robert P Hob- inson as Governor of the State of Del- aware. The trip was made in very, dis- agreeable weather. The Battalion marched to the Pennsylvania Station in six inches of slushy snow and a drizsle of rain. At Dover the streets were clear of any slush but there was a steady drizzle of cold rain that chilled every- one. The National Guard preceded the Delaware Battalion in the parade, but the Cadets stood out as eminently better than any other military unit there. The parade was highly gratifying to Major Underwood and the officials of the State. We returned from Dover at four o'clock by the same special train that took us down. This year has seen a more rigid dis- cipline in the unit than has heretofore been practiced, and whether this will Lave any effect on the morale and spirit of the men is a question that will be settled only by the outeome of this vear's work. Discipline has never been accorded n very hearty weleome in the ranks of the Delaware R.OUT.C., but they have always evinced a voluntary inelination to putting a thing over for the men who command them. Discipline may or may not tend to kill this willing attitude, It is sincerely hoped by those who are really interested in the school that the men will give their best and come through this spring when the in- spection takes place. 160 CADET COMMISSIONED OFFICERS Joun G.

This team won five and tied one of the nine games played. The Delaware team amassed a total of 76 points against her opponents 57. The first kick-off of the 1923 season oceurred on Frazer Field on September 27th. St. Jo- seph's College of Philadelphia came to Ne- wark with revenge for the defeat of the pre- vious season. As a result of Delaware's weak offensive and poor tackling, the Philadelphia team scored a touchdown in the first period of the game. The rest of the game was a punt- WILLIAMS ing contest, and St. Joseph's won by a 6 to 0 seore. In the second game the blue-jerseyed Dela- ware men fought like true sons of the Blue and Gold, and smashed down the iron defense of Muhlenberg, by scoring a touchdown for the only score of the game. This victory gave the team more confidence, and showed the stu- dents that they had a real, well-trained, fight- ing eleven which would turn in a good seasonal 'LUI:'UI'II, ; Delaware's display of a magnificent exhibi- LLs : tion of fighting spirit crushed Ursinus 14 to 7 on October 11th, The Red- and black-jerseved visitors had a well organized team that started off with a rush that threatened to annihilate the Delawareans. But when Ursinus came to L the thirty-yard line, Delaware tightened her , defense and the visitors kicked. By a fumble, SRS E .-':J -. 'j' + W, . v 187 GARVINE Ursinus scored. Then Delaware became a fighting, smashing machine and scored two touchdowns, which won the game, The next game was an easy vietory for the Blue Hen's Chicks over the College of the City of New York. Loose playing on the part of Delaware kept the score down to 18 to 0. The C. C. N. Y. team was made up of green material which even the Delaware second team found easy to hold. Delaware played a good, hard game against St. John's, which ended in a scoreless tie. The heavy visitors fought hard, but when they reached the five-yard line, they reachl a stone wall. The teams were evenly matched and fought consistently; the game was very inter- esting to watch. At Haverford Delaware defeated Haverford 19 to 6. Poor generalship and costly fumbles of the Main Liners lost them the game. The first score of the game came within three minutes of play. when Torbert recovered a fumble and scored a touchdown, This break of the game ruined Haverford's morale, as thereafter the Searlet and Black eleven played loosely. The William and Mary eleven de- feated Delaware by a 14 to 0 score. Both touchdowns were the result of fumbles. In spite of the apparently one-sided score, the game was a battle from start to finish. The Indians from Williams- burg stopped the fighting chicks 168 CHERPAK TORBERT when their goal was in danger, and, by consistently following the ball, they won the game. In the next game, Delaware erushed George Washington 19 to 7. The George Washington eleven was completely eon- quered during the first three quarters. In the last quarter, when the Delaware sec- ond team was put into the game, the visi- tors finally scored a touchdown, but with a great deal of difficulty. The Blue and Gold gridiron gladiators went down before the Red and White Dickinson team on Franklin Field in the final game of the season 7 to 0. The game was hotly contested in a field of mud. The Delaware team playved in a manner that reflected only the highest credit on the men who played and the Alma Mater these men repre- sented. Delaware 19Haverford 6 Delaware, invading Haver- ford's territory, forced the Main Liners' colors to strike after an exciting and thrilling game which ended with the Blue and Gold on the long end of a 19 to 6 score, Both teams played con- sistently well, but Haverford's fumbles were costly. The Dela- ware team played well both on the offense and the defense. 169 Lohmann and Torbert scored the first two touchdowns after recovering fumbles. Weg- genmann made a sixty-three yard run after in- tercepting a forward pass. Elliott shot around left end for a thirteen-vard gain which put the ball on the four-yard line. Williams, with a characteristic plllllj.w. seored the third touch- down for Delaware. During the remainder of the game, the teams were evenly matched on the offensive. Delaware plaved the better defensive game. Elliott's punts averaged ten to fifteen vards more than those of Garrett. Haverford's touch- down was the result of successive line plunges by Wilbur, and a string of penalties, the last wrcGENMany of which gave Haverford the ball on Dela- ware's one-yard line. Captain Wilbur then scored Haverford's six points. Delaware 14Ursinus 7 Ursinus, our Quaker rival, boasting one of the best teams the college has enjoved in sev- eral years, bowed to the fighting Delaware- ans 14 to 7. The two waves of Red and Black JJ and Blue and Gold surged up and down the VS field until the final whistle blew. Both teams fought every inch of the way until the exciting contest was ended. After a series of line bucks, Elliott hurled hinself over the goal line for Delaware's first touchdown, Williams scored the extra point 1 by a drop kick. This made the score a 7 to 7 G i tie, as Ursinus had drawn first blood. v Y When the second half started, both teams Lt NE; .I'i Hl b F N - P e - L ul'-. - savagely determined to break the tie. The Red and Black ma- chine started through the Delaware eleven on a march that seemed destined to win the game for them. Failure to score a placement goal, and a punt by Elliott, brought the remainder of play in the visitors territory. In the last quarter Williams intercepted a forward pass and scored a touchdown. Ie then ended his day's work by kicking the goal for the fourteenth point. Delaware 6M uhlenberg 0 The Delaware grid team trotted out against Muhlenberg with a grin, determined fight stamped on their faces. They were out to avenge the 12 to 0 defeat handed them by Muhlenberg the year before. They succeeded and defeated Muhlenberg i to 0. The game was an excellent example of defensive foothall, as neither team could batter the defense of the other. Williams scored the only touchdown of the game after Torbert recov- ered the ball which Dorang fumbled in an attempt to catch one of Elliott's punts. In the last quarter, Muhlenberg made a desperate attack in an effort to score. As the Alma Mater swelled out from the Delaware stands, the Blue and Gold warriors held Muhlen- berg for downs. Then the Delaware backfield spoiled the visitors' aerial at- , tack and started down the field in big league fashion. The game of ' ended, however, with the ball on the Muhlenberg twenty-yard line. Dickinson 7-Delazcare 0 The biggest game of the Delaware schedule was played on Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Delaware was forced to bow to the strong Dickinson team from Carlisle in this game, which was the final one of the season. In the first half of the contest, Delaware out-played the Red and White eleven to a slight extent. Both teams, however, were very evenly matched. Dickinson's well-drilled heavier team held fast during the erucial moments, and the half ended a scoreless tie. : In the second period came the only break of the game, and SN .' this bit of chance favored the Pennsylvania team. Dickinson T was held on the three-vard line for downs. Elliott dropped back to punt; he punted, but the ball soared high in the air and was eaught in a breeze that brought it to the ground on the eleven- vard line. In five plays, the ball was earried over for the first score, and the ball was kicked over the goal for the extra point. U The rest of the game was played mostly in mid-field, as neither Fya Nlop team was able to gain consistently. C,:' wa S S L L 3 q AT y 3 A oy e oy B : o 172 CAPTAIN McKELVIE Foothall Football in 1924 was a sport for all Delawareans to be proud of., The Blue and Gold players scored forty-four points against their opponents forty-five, and won four and tied one of the eight games on the schedule. In the opening contest Delaware de- feated St. Joseph's College 6 to 0. The previous season the Philadelphia team won by the same score, but this game gave Delaware the rubber, as in 1922 she also defeated her Pennsylvania rival. The vis- itors, however, had a strong defense, but were unable to hold in the last quarter, when the only score of the game was made. The score was made possible by a blocked punt. At Collegeville, Ursinus was able to get an even break with the Delaware eleven. The score was 0 to 0. This game marked the first time in four vears that Ursinus kept the Blue and Gold from scoring. Fach team uncorked what seemed to be scoring drives, only to have them smothered on the twenty-yard lines. Tt was after this game that Cap- tain MeKelvie got married. In the third game of the season Coach McAvoy's charges howed to the strong Villa Nova College eleven 17 to 8. This loss was a result of a weak offense on the part of the Delaware team. The GIRSON only way Delaware could gain ground against the heavier team was by forward passes. but the nerial attack did not start until the last quarter, when the second team was substituted. It was at this time that Gibson kicked the pig- skin from the forty-yvard line for the three- point score. The fumbling en the part of the Blue and Gold backfield made possible Villa Nova's two touchdowns. St. John's College defeated the Blue Hen eleven in the next game 6 to 0. The visitors made their score in the last quarter when they started their aerial game. The forward pass that resulted in a touchdown gave the spec- tators a thrill as it was long and difficult, All during the game, however, Delaware played good offensive foothall, and most of the game was played in St. John's territory. At the crucial times St. John's held, or, on one oc- casion, a Delaware man was caught holding. In the Stevens game Delaware showed up well. The Stevens line was very weak; time after time the Delaware backs opened wide holes and ran through the visitors line for long gains. Almost the entire game was playved in Stevens' territory. Haverford came to Newark for the next game of the season. This game was replete with thrills, as the score 8 to 7 shows. The Blue and Gold scored two Ilililll'!-i when n punt was blocked by McKelvie, and recov- ered by Haverford for a safety. Both teams fought a clean, hard gameDelaware just had more fight to the proportion 8 to 7. WOOTEN 174 George Washington bowed to Delaware in a game that was tightly contested until the final whistle announced the end of the game. In spite of the snow that covered the field, the game was fast and interesting. Dickinson, Delaware's final opponent, handed the Blue and Gold eleven the worst defeat of the season by a 15 to 0 score. In the second period a bad break coupled with the removal of Kramer seemed to take the snap out of the blue-jerseved team, and, during the remainder of the play, the Methodists had the advantage. Delaware 6N8t. Joseph's College 0 i Delaware opened the 1924 football season with a victory over St. Joseph's College by a 6 to 0 score. As Delaware and St. Joseph's had each won a game during the two previous seasons, this game marked the rubber of the HOPKINS tl 'l.'l..'-Hii-'lS H HC! iEJ'j I:lf Halnes ll'lil.:l.'l:'.li hlftu;'vl;'ll: the two institutions. Bift Hopkins, playing his first game of college foothall, erossed the visitors goal line for the only score of the game. Lew Kramer's work in this game was the outstand- ing feature. It was his blocking of a punt that made the touchdown possible. This game showed the Blue and Gold fol- lowers that Delaware had a strong defense, as St. Joseph's team made only a few first downs. Delaware's offense, however, was com- paratively weak. In the shadow of the goal line, the blue-jerseved team failed several times to put the ball across. BEATTY 175 Delaware 0Ursinus 0 Boasting the best Ursinus team in years, the students at Collegeville expected to beat Delaware to revenge the three defeats of the three previous seasons. It is interesting to note that the majority of the Ursinus cheering consisted of co-eds, and if ever a team had reason to fight the red-jerseyed team had it. But the Delaware followers had a good representation of cheerers on the other side of the fieldand Delaware fought just as hard as Ursinus did. In the first half Delaware seemed to have the edge on the Pennsylvanians, but failed to score, as did the Ursinus eleven in the second half when they ap- peared to have the advantage. During the entire game neither team was able to get closer than the twenty-vard line, neither team was successful with the aerial attack, and the interest in the game was lost ocea- sionally by fumbles on the part of both teams. Delaware 8Haverford 7 The score of the Haverford game clearly indicates the close- ness of the game, but, small as the margin is, it cannot show the wonderful fighting spirit, the unconquerable determination to win, that both teams displayed throughout the four periods of the game. MecKelvie blocked a punt which Billo fell on behind his goal line; this safety marked the first score of the game. There was 176 no other score until the third period, when Delaware fumbled, and Middleton, carrying the ball eight times out of nine plays, scored a touchdown. In the last quarter of the game Delaware scored a touch- down, thus making the score 8 to 7. The hard fight continued until the final whistle, but the score remained unchanged. The game left a never to be forgotten thrill in the spectators, as it was a classic of eollege football games. Delawcare 6George Washington 0 Things had a bad aspect when the George Washington Uni- versity team came out on Frazer Field. Fvery man was large and displayed exceptional foothall ability. The previous week they had defeated St. Joseph's 41 to 0, in comparison with the Delaware score of 6 to 0. The field was slippery and every- thing in general pointed to a sure defeat for the Blue and Gold. But then the game started. It was impossible from that mo- ment until the last whistle blew to tell which team would win. Loehler made consecutive gains for the defeated eleven, but when the crucial moment came he lacked the punch. Delaware fought consistently hard but was unable to keep the visitors on the defense for a very long time. It was not until the final period that the only score of the game was made. Then Choe Gibson intercepted a forward pass and ran forty yards for a touchdownand victory for the Blue and Gold. hsF.A L 1923-1924 19241925 178 Basketball, 1923-1924 BABKF.TIHI.I. during the 1923-1924 season was a sport that made Delaware men proud of their team. The team was built around five men who played almost every minute of the season. Very few substitutions were made during the entire season, These five men, Captain France, Williams, Jackson, MeKelvie and Gibson, played fast basketball con- sistently. This team defeated Haver- ford, Brooklyn Poly, ' Dickinson, George Washington, Ursinus and Roanoke. The games lost were closely contested and exeiting. In the first game of the season Temple defeated the Blue and Gold five by a one-point margin 26 to 25, The score indicates the close playing by both teams, but it does not show the true calibre of the team, Haverford, the next team on the schedule, bowed to Delaware 41 to 22. It was especially gratifying to have the Blue Hen team invade the Main Liners' territory for a victory so deecisive, At West Point the stromg Army five defeated the blue-jerseyed team 44 to 22, Although the score was one-sided, the game was fast during every minute. The Army team had better shooters than Delaware, and made more of their shots good. Two days later Pratt defeated the Dela- ware team 21 to 18, Until the last few minutes of play, Delaware had the advantage over the New Yorkers, but then they opened up a furious attack and scored the winning points, The last game of the New York trip was played against Brooklyn Poly. The invaders captured this game 24 to 18. At no time was Brooklyn Poly ahead of the Blue and Gold passers, The next game, which was played in Newark, was a victory over Dickin- son 24 to 28. The Dickinson team had four men who the year hefore had played with the Carlisle team that defeated Penn at Weightman Hall. This victory was very pleas- ing to every Delawarean, as it showed the stuff the Delaware team was made of, This game was fast and exeiting; nobody eould tell the out- come until the final whistle blew, On the Southern trip, Washington and Lee took the first game by a 25 to 18 score. This game was a hard battle to lose, as it scemed that the Virginia team had all the breaks. It was a fast and interesting game, how- ever, and one that reflects only eredit on Delaware, The Delawareans won the next game over Roanoke College 40 to 32, In this game Delaware dis- played a powerful offense and made a very good showing on the defense, Virginia Military Institute won the next game 24 to 17. It scemed that three consecutive games was too much for the Blue and Gold team, as every attack they made was stopped by the future soldiers. As the score in- dicates, however, the game was in- teresting and not at all one-sided or slow. Delaware had little trouble in de- feating George Washington 45 to 21. The Newark players started the game with a vicious attack that the Capi- tal team could not stop. It was 179 g ig wonderful to see Delaware take the - ball down the floor and score as J rapidly as she did, The Ursinus game was equally as gratifying, although the score was not so large. Delaware chalked up another victory 24 to 19, The Ur- sinus team opened up with a fast offense time after time, only to lose the ball and see Delaware score, The last two games of the season were lost to two of Pennsylvania's best teams. Drexel won the first of these 22 to 20, The visitors had a fast team, but were unable to break through Delaware's defense. Most of their seore was the result of long shots that no team could prevent, In the final contest, Swarthmore carried away the honors 28 to 24, but only mem -ftr 3 h.

Every game played was hard and fast; most of them could even be called spectacular. Although the season ended with the op- ponents on the long end of lh'.. HERS0T :it'.lll'l'., I.'HI'!' game was well worth watching, as every contest was played between two good teams. As a whole, the senson was a credit to the men who worked, and one of which the Univer- sity may be proud. Delaware lost the first game to Temple, 19 to 15, Due to an injury from the foothall season, 'I;'uphll'n Jackson was unable to play in this game. Gib- son, star guard of the previous season, also had to wateh the game as he had hurt his knee playing floorball. Lichtenstein, plaving his first game of college bas- kethally led the seoring for the Blue and Gold by making two ficld goals and five foul tosses, In the first game after the Christ- mas recess, the Delaware team de- feated Haverford 40 to 34. The ad- dition of Jackson and Gibson made a new team for the Blue and Gold passers. In this game Lichtenstein was at his best, scoring ten field goals and three fouls, At first the game was tightly played by both teams, but in the second half the Haverford team scemed lost, so great was the rush for scoring hy the Delaware five. The trip to New York State was a great disappointment to all Dela- CAFT. JACKSON warcans, First, AI :!L:,' defeated the visitars 40 to 25, In the sccond half the soldiers held the invaders to seven lminfs. Then Pratt handed the Blue Hen's Chicks a 31 to 18 defeat. The third game of the trip was lost to Brooklyn Poly by a 27 to 26 score, Albright cancelled the next game on the schedule, but the Y. M. C. A, team of Wilmington played the next game at Newark. The contest was eclose from whistle to whistle, as at no time was either team more than three points ahead of the other. The game ended with the Y. M. C. A. team having 27 points against Delawares 24, At Lancaster, the fast Franklin and Marshall team defeated Delaware 33 to 14. The following week, Fordham, the best team in the East scored fifty points to nineteen scored by the Delaware five. At Bethlehem, Lehigh scored an aggregate of 56 points to Dela- ware's 17, Then Ursinus defeated Delaware in the next game 39 to 17. Delaware broke her losing streak in the following game by defeating Direxel 38 to 28, Jackson displayed his calibre by scoring seven field goals and four fouls. The whole team showed more team-work and played better baskethall than in any pre- vious game, Navy won the next game 38 to 26, This game also showed the playing ability of the team as a whole, as the Navy team was one of the fastest on the sehedule, and most of the Navy's Q00 N AN, i d 2 G 7 . B N - y ;T X :k 't score resulted from long shots that guarding cannot stop, The last two games of the season were played in Newark, and only those who saw these games can ap- preciate the work of the men on the team. In the Swarthmore game Delaware played well both on the offense and defense. Until the last few minutes, when Swarthmore opened up a vicious attack, the scoring was very evenly divided. Then the Gettyshurg team ended Delaware's season. This BLUC HEN last game made every Delaware fol- lower proud of the Delaware team. The game was fast and clean throughout both halves. Every man on the team played his best and can well serve as an inspiration for future players, Jackson, France, McKelvie and Gibson played their last basket- ball game for Delaware when they played against Gettysburg. This game alone was cnough to satisfy any spectator that these men are loyal song of the Blue and Gold. i Al 4 ps 5 i v A Tf.fj,w O TR ROTT 1'-!'6?-':1 '4'-5?.'5-215 o b do CA o F ';:f,! : A MU ML XL ninG k ;'THE fI?JL-bL W.;M,;- ? .

With the score 3 to 1 in favor of Hopkins, Delaware at bat in the first part on the sixth with the bases full, one out, and the heavy end of the batting order up, the um- pire ealled the game on aceount of darkness and rain, It was disap- pointing, but could not be helped. Delaware i6AN8t. John's 4 This was a massacre of the inno- cent.

Roth pitched his first Varsity game in a ereditable manner, but the Blue and Gold were weak with the stick. Jensen, besides pitehing a good game, clouted out a sensational homer. Delawoare 2Army 3 If ever Delaware had a good op- portunity to get the Army's goat, this was the oceasion. Pryor pitched one of the best games of his career; but one bad inning, the first, spoiled everything. George Smythe led off by flving to center, Dasher reached first on an error, Don Storek fliecd out to right, Ellinger singled, Wood drew a pass, filling the bases with two out, Pryor then worked Baird into a hole, but the second baseman eonneeted with one and cleaned the sacks on a N::k;??

In our second inning, Captain Underwood socked out a homer to deep eenter. Lobert, the Army coach, promptly backed up his outficlders thereafter when Mike appeared for his turn at the stick, and it was well he did; for Underwood hit three more that would ordinarily have been good for extra bases, Derawane AB R H B Mannix, of. .:... ...

This brought to Delaware as opponents and guests the greatest collection of renowned college athletes that has ever assembled on our athletic field, and we felt duly impressed by the necessity of our creating the most favorable im- pression possible, The qualification trials on Friday gave forth the promise of one of the maost interesting of all meets the next day. The feature of the qualifica- tions was the spectacular heave of West, Washing- ton and Jefferson athlete, when he threw the javelin 176 feet 2 inches for a new Middle Atlantie States record. The weather on Friday was so ideal that Saturday was looked forward to as being the most favorable of davs for an athletic carnival. But the athletes and the erowd were doomed to disap- peintment. For at three o'elock, just as the finals were getting under way, the heavens opened up and the rain fell in torrents. The meet was finished regardless of the weather. Several athletes who later proved themselves of Olympic calibre took part in this meet. Verne Booth, former Del- aware star, ran for Johns Hopkins, His two-mile race was a spectacular contest between him and Powell of Ruatgers, who forced Booth to put everything possible in the finish, nosing out Powell by two or three yards, Louis Clarke, also of Johns Hopkins, ran away with the century and two-twenty wvard dashes, He was expected to he hard pressed by Jose Carol of Lehigh, who had the same time in the trial heats, Tue Troray but he left Carol far in the rear in both events when the final trials were run, Paul Baxter was the only Delaware man to take a point. The high-jomper tied with Gibson of Rutgers for second place in the high jump. Bill McKelvie was far below par in the field events, especially the dis- cus. Had he heaved the plate in his usual form, he could have been in the race, but he failed by sev- eral feet to attain even his average distance. The entire assembly of athletes, press men, man- agers, and coaches were entertained at dinner in Old College following the meet, The members of the Middle Atlantic States Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation are as follows: Buerwerr, Usiversrey Ustversrry or Denawane Dickissox Covvrce Deexen Insrrrore Fraxgrin axn Mamsuarn Gerrvsnvre CoLvkoe Havenroun Corieoe Jonxs Horkixs Usivensicy JuxNiara Coviree Laraverre CoLrese Lenmen Usiversrry Munrexnene CoLceor New Youx Uxivensrery Ruraens Convrer Swarrnymong CovLrce Uwntox Corvrvas Wasnrsorow axn Jerremsox CoLieor The leading teams finished in the following order: Jouxs Horxiws Usiversrey ... ..., .., B LAPATETTE COLLEGE . ... .0vuiesiniierns 323 ROTOREN COLEBGE . i oy i vnnse sassenen 14 Wasnixarox axo Jerverson Covvece, ., 14 HAvERFORD COLLEGE .....00vevvnseianss 13 Lesmmwr UNIvERSITY ....o00oiiiison.s 11 New Yok UnNivensrry ..., o.vvnvnien.s 10 Munrexssrns CoLLEOE .. ... c0ioueesess L Gerrvepvns COLLeGE ... ............. i SwarrHMORE COLIBOE .. .0vviviniian.

A e FEGT HAVHT, 188 Track, 1924 y During the season of 1924, Delaware suf- 'A'.if fered badly from an unbalanced track team. :,;2 The squad never failed to annex a good num- 3;,:? ber of points, but the points came mostly in 'EE..,.,;; the field events, where Delaware had a num- ragj ber of strong men, but when it came to the EE dashes and the distance events we were badly F c$?: handicapped. The loss of Pitman in the dashes ii.xfr. and Hoey in the distance events threw the ?E:l team entirely out of balance. A fast dash man jg,::;';!l that could be depended upon, even for a see- 4'1;5' ond place, was not available. Skewis and g?? o - Chrisfield eould always be counted upon to o Y 5533 e Bt place, but the firsts usually went to our op- - sz fg ponents. And so the results of the whole sea- :Ej;g e son will find that MeKelvie, Elliott and Baxter Ffj were responsible for most of Delaware's scoring, :.j L,fi. which came from the field events. u:; The season started off with a northern trip to lz::i Rhode Island State, Springfield Y. M. C. A. A '? College, and Lehigh University. The team en- ,-.;'H countered eold weather, disagreeable transporta- ;'ifff' ! tion, and a great deal of fatigue, and their in- g vasion of the north could be but little better than Eit'?j disaster, v The first meet, that with Rhode Island, was gfi lost by the narrow margin of 8 points, the final i:? count being 52 to 60. 'The unbalanced condition Q-A of the team was plainly demonstrated by the fact X o that we failed to win a single track event but took Ka all but one field event. C j? Iy Carraiy Fravce ,.- el oln R Springfield 101 12Delaware 24 12 The training school for physical educators at Springfield Y. M. C. A. handed out the worst hospitality encountered in the north when they trounced the Delaware trackmen by 101 1,2 to 24 172. Baxter was the only man to take a first place, which was in the 120 high hurdles. MeKelvie took a second in the discus and jave- lin, and Baxter took a second in the high jump. Lehigh 75Delaware 37 The L.ehigh team had rather an easy time of it with the Blue and Gold representatives. Delaware's first places were rather sparse, and they took only one first in the track events, that MeKrivie being a masterfully run, two-mile, by Skewis. Baxter took a first in the high jump, and Me- Kelvie took a first in the discus and javelin. Haverford 93 12Delaware 32 1,2 Haverford had the most perfectly balanced track team that has visited Delaware in a dual meet for a number of years. They not only had good sprinters and runners, but they also carried a heavy complement of field artists. They com- pletely annihilated the Blue and Gold by taking every first place on the track and field. Skewis again ran a beautiful two-mile, being nosed out by an exceptionally fast sprint by Frazier, Even MeKelvie, who was Delaware's consistent winner in the field, was foreed to three seconds. His throw in the diseus of 119 feet, the best he ever did, was beaten by the Haverford op- ponent. Haxven 190 Delaware 63Drexel 63 Meeting unexpected opposition in the field events, Delaware was forced to a tie score in the meet with Drexel. The meet was an exceptionally fast one in which two Drexel records were broken, one in the half-mile and one in the high jump. Ralph Gregg tied the meet when he nosed out Lodge for a third place in the half-mile. Fvery event was hotly contested and, had we been a little stronger in the track events, we could have won. Delaware showed its superiority in the field events by taking the shot put and discus throw. Swarthmore 77 23Delarware 48 13 In the last dual meet of the season, Swarthmore defeated the Delaware track men by nearly twice the number of points the Blue and Gold athletes earned. Three firsts were all Delaware could garner. Captain Elliott's leap of 19 feet and 4 inches took a first in the broad; Baxter won the 120 high hurdles; and Ralph France won the 220 low hurdles. MeKelvie was again bettered by a Quaker opponent, and took only two seconds and a third. 1In the two-mile, Lewis of Swarthmore, equalled his college record of 9 minutes and 59 seconds. Summary of the Season Seven men were awarded letters for their services in track. Captain Elliott, McKelvie, Paul Baxter, Ralph France, Chris- field, Evans and Manager Shockley. In the scoring, Bill McKelvie led the team with a total of 30 points. Baxter comes next with a total of 46 points, and Captain Elliott took third honors with 34 points. 191 FEX 100-Yard Dash 10 seconds N 220-Yard Dash 22 seconds 440-Yard Dash 51.8 seconds 880-Yard Run 2.02 15 seconds Mile Run 4.31 seconds Two-Mile Run 10,20 seconds Cross Country 220-Yard Low Hurdles 26 2,5 seconds 120-Yard High Hurdles 16 3,5 seconds High Jump 5 ft. 11 in.

Dutcher The Rifle Team, 1923-1924 vrineG the last three years at Delaware the interest shown in the practice of rifle marksman- ship has increased to a marked de- gree, and, as a consequence, the ability of the individuals and the team in competition has risen. This has largely been due to the work of Captain Roy Sparks who has worked hard and earnestly as a coach and mentor for the team, Where there had before existed only a mild interest in the sport, limited mostly to upper elassmen and especially to those who had attended Plattsburg training camp, there now exists a keen in- terest in the rifle and a strong spirit of competition for the rifle team and the rifle D. The rifle I is awarded to men who qualify in fifty per cent of the matches shot during the entire sea- sor. This is in aceordance with the general rule in athletics at Delaware that requires a man to compete in half the entire amount of time played during the season, The majority, in fact all, of the matches during 1923-24 were shot by telegraphic methods. The matehes were supervised by an officer at each competing college, and the managers of the teams ac- quainted each competing team with the results. Several inter-class matches and inter-company matehes were shot during the early part of the season, This helped to develop new men and to bring the sport before the eves of the entire student body. This was the first year that the Rifle Club was given enough sup- port to allow it funds for new rifles, two bolt action heavy target rifles being added to the other guns previously purchased. The average number of men that fired each afternoon on the indoor range was thirty, which is evi- dence of the interest shown. The first matches were those among the four classes. The elass of 1925 won with a total of 763 out of 10060, 1924 was second with T47, 1926 third with 694, and 1927 last with 598, Matches were requested of fifty different colleges, and twenty-nine were scheduled. Out of this pos- sible 29 matches Delaware won fif- teen. This was an cxcellent ree- ord in consideration of the fact that we shot against the best and largest colleges of the country, many of which have superior equipment and better advantages, The team was second in the Corps Area Match, which qualified it for the Inter-Collegiate Mateh, The team showed a Nh:ud;v im- provement during this year, the AVEPAEE BCOTCS of the individuals on the team Ellt'rt'aning from 168 at the first of the season to 183 at the elose. The team had only two Varsity men back from the preceding season, these being J, B, France and R, W, Cann. Several good shots developed, however, and eight men, including the manager, were awarded letters, 194 Some new records were estab- lished this year, Captain J. B, France raised the standing record from 89 to 93, and made a new record for a four-position match, accumulating 193 points. The records as they stand at this time are: PR L s an s d e i 100 1923 France, J. B., 24 1924 Jackson, E. H., '24 1924 Hill, W. R., 27 A A L A 97 1924 Shuster, '25 Kneeling .o ooy 96 1923 Brown, 22 Standing ......... 03 1924 France, J. B., 24 The men who received the rifle I3 this vear were Captain John B. France, Roger W. Cann, Wil- liam R. Hill, George M. Shuster, J. Clyde Davis, Marshall M, Manns, George W. Dutcher and Manager John E. Mortimer. Roger W, Cann was elected to captain the team for 1924-25. LY The Rifle Team,1924-1925 Dt'umu this scason the Rifle Team finished one of the heaviest schedules yet attempted by a rifle team at the University; they shot a total of thirty-seven matches, out of which they won twenty-three, This can be seen to be a decided improvement over the previous season, both in the actual number won and the pereentage of vietories. The team was not as fortunate in the Corps Area match this year us was the team last year. We had some hard luck and managed to finish third, thus lesing our chance to compete in the Inter- Collegiate Match, We were honored by being se- lected as one of the colleges that were eligible to take part in the William Randolph Hearst Trophy Match, one of the higgest col- legiate rific matches ever staged. At the time of this going to press the results were not known as to how the team fared. They shot against the best rifle teams in the United States and Porto Rieo, Eight men reccived their letters for work on the range. They were Roger Cann, W. N. Cannon, R. F. Corley, P. Craig, W. Dutcher, M. Manns, C. Davis and F. Mul- lincnux as manager, One record was equalled during the season several times, The per- feet score for the prone position was equalled by nearly every mem- ber of the team. Manns equalled the record of J. B. France in the four-position, twenty-shot match, making a score of 193, 195 Sl el i b . A o e Tennis Season of 1924 Tnz tennis team of 1924 met with most inauspicious cir- cumstances at the very outset of the season. The continual spring riains kept the courts in unplay- able condition, and, when there was a respite in the weather, little was done to the courts in the way of conditioning. The inevitable result was that the candidates for the team suffered from lack of prueticc, interest in the sport lagged, and chances for a success- ful season were reduced to a mini- mum. It was not until May that the first practice was held. Too much stress eannot be laid upon the fact that it was almast impos- sible to play on the spare two courts which had only an apology for a backstop and were artistic- ally laid contiguous to chicken wards, It is little wonder that the team, without any coaching and little practice, was unable to make any headway. Of the aspirants for the team, Captain Barker, Johnson, Hoey, Turner and Malloy were selected to play the matehes, The first mateh was played against the Swarthmore team, which had al- ready opposed Army, Navy and George Washington, Delaware lost 6 to O, but the contests were not so one-sided as the seore might lead one to believe., - Johnson foreed Dudley, Swarthmore, to the utmost to win out. From Swarth- more, Delaware journeyed to Rut- gers and was beaten 5 to 1, Agu.in it was the same story. Rutgers had just that added finish which comes with practice. Malloy, Delaware, defeated Boocock of Rutgers and Captain Barker and Malloy were just nosed out in a tllri irjg three-set match with Waungh and Boocock. Drexel de- feated Delaware 6 to 0. Barker, Johnson and Malloy carried their matches to three sets and, if they had had the breaks of the game, the victor. The disastrous scason was brought to a close against Catholic University, who won 5 to 1. Barker and Regan, Catholic University, waged one of the most exciting battles ever seen on the Delaware courts, Hegan, one of the best players in the Washing- ton district, was extended to the limit to best Captain Barker. Malloy managed to defeat Kirhy, Catholie University, in three hard- fought sets, Matches with Johns Hopkins and Haverford were eancelled. Tennis Prospectus of 1925 Preparation for the tennis sea- son of 1925 was begun in Septem- ber. Manager Turner issued a call for eandidates and thirty-five men responded. Much enthusiasm was shown in the daily practices and everything looks favorable for a good season on the courts. The Athletic Council voted to increase the appropriation for tennis and conditions for the sport have been considerably bettered. Of the candidates who tried out, the most promising are Jones, Turner, Meredith, Creamer, Poole, Carrol and Yeager., The team which will face Rtll'.gvr.l; in the first match of the year will most likely be composed of Captain Malloy, Creamer, Jones and Turner, Besides the mateh with Rutgeni, others are scheduled with Franklin and Marshall, Inekinson, Catholic Irni'l-'l:raitj.', G-t:urgt- 1q-vunhiugtun, St. Josephs, Drexel and Haver- ford. 196 SRR ,l. w 2 AR s Now, Dee, Jan, Feb.

Ravmn, Chairman n - L X ML 22 '5. 4 5 X 1A Delawvare Social Events Dr.-r.aw.am: Corirur, during the year of 1924-1925, enjoyved several very exceptional affairs, first among which came the various fraternal formal dances, Junior Prom, the Varsity Ball, and Farewell Hop. Old College, always the scene of our fraternal formals, changed its appearance with an almost magic touch, yvielding first to one decorative scheme, and then to another, as fancy might see fit. These dances, which played so large a part in our social life, will alwavs be looked back upon with a great deal of pleasure by those who attended them, and the very brief record of them herein printed is but a very scant description of the concrete details of the affairs; the personal experiences and pleasures must remain with the individuals. It would be impossible to express them. The Pan-Hellenic Informal Tma dance was the first of its kind ever attempted at Delaware College, the result was particularly gratifying to the fraternities who took part. The dance was held jointly by Kappa Alpha, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Nu, Theta Chi, and Phi Kappa Tau in the Newark Armory. The Commons was not large enough to accommodate the crowd, Practically every active member and pledge of each of the five fraternities attended, as well as o great many alumni. The hours were from eight o'clock until midnight. The program was so arranged that there was one particular number sct aside for each fraternity, and upon each of these oecasions, the members of each fraternity danced this dance alone, joined in the encores by the other groups. The programs were of heavy white cardboard with a Delaware seal in the center, with Blue and Gold Cords, This dance took the place of the informal dance of cach of the fraternities. The patronesses were: Mrs. Walter Hullihen, Mrs. George E. Dutton, Mrs, Charles A. MceCue, Dean Winifred J. Iobinson, Mrs, F. M. K. Foster, Mrs. Carl S. Rankin, Mrs. Thomas F. Manns, Mrs. Clinton 0. Houghton, and Mrs. Charles C. Palmer. Music was by Shorter's Orchestra, Nigma Nu Formal w the evening of Friday, December nineteenth, the members of Delta Kappa Chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity held their fourteenth annual formal in the Commons of Old College, This was the first formal dance of the year, and the active members of the fraternity and their alumni and guests enjoyed the hours from nine until two in a most delightful manner. Nearly ninety couples attended, twenty-five of whom were alumni. The decorations of Old Cellege, while simple, were very effective and attractive. The hall was decorated in the Christmas spirit. Evergreens and laorel and holly were placed in the windows and in the hallways, The baleony was heavily draped with a complete covering of laurel; the lights were effectively dimmed with crepe paper. A large Sigma Nu Badge, electrically lighted, centered the balcony. Intermission at midnight was oceupicd with o light buffet supper in West Wing Dining Hall. Music was by the Original Six. t 199 -5 The patronesses were: Dean Winifred J. Robinson, Mrs, Walter L. fiks - Hullihen, Mrs. Orlando K. Strahorn, Mrs. Clarence A. Short, Mrs. John 3J;W.+ Pilling, Mrs. H. Warner McNeal, Mrs. H. Rodney Sharp, Mrs. Francis A, F Cooch, Mrs. FErnest Wright, Mrs. Charles C. Hubert, Mrs, Harry L. Bon- jxg' ham, Miss Nora B. Keeley, and Mrs. George P. Paine, The music was . o furnished by George Kelley's Original Six. :?T'L?i? Junior Prom ii'f?'; ng dance came as a delightful antidote for the rigors of mid-year exam- 7-1 inations and was aceordingly hailed as such. The dance was held, ae- ;,1 cording to custom in the Gald Ballroom of the Hotel du Pont in Wilmington, 'F'?.,i ;' from the hours of nine until two, Decorations, in view of the beauty and T ornateness of the ballroom, was limited to Delaware hanners and spot light e effects, Richard W. Torbert, President of the Class of 1026, led the Grand i,? March with Miss Katherine Ady of the Women's College as his partner, The A ;5.-' programs were of brown eardboard with the Delaware seal and class title nE embossed in gold with Blue and Gold cords. Favors of blue leather book-ends with the Delaware seal and title of the dance embossed in gold on them GJ!?J featured the dance, . The patronesses were: Mrs, Walter Hullihen, Miss Winifred J. Robinson, Mrs, Charles A, MeCue, Mrs. William Denny, Mrs, Charles B. Evans, Mrs. Everett C. Johnson, Mrs. Rodney Sharp, Mrs. George E. Dutton, Mrs. Finley M. K. Foster, Mrs. Arthur G. Wilkinson, Mrs. Norris W. Wright, Mrs. Pierre 8. du Pont, Mrs. Harry L. Bonham, and Mrs. C. 5. Rankin. The Prom Committee was composed of A, Murray Hanson, Chairman, H, Leon King, Joseph Cherpak, John T. Ash, Jr., James W. Marshall, and Lewis H. Kramer, Sigma Phi I psilon Formal ne seventeenth annual formal dance of the Delaware Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity was held on the evening of Friday, February twenticth, in the Commons of Old College, from the hours of nine until two. The dance was attended by seventy-five couples, among which were several alumni and invited guests. Old College was effectively decor- ated in the eolors of the fraternity, wide bands of purple and red crepe paper running diagonally across the panels in the main hall, with a gold badge or coat of arms placed on the intersection. The lights were covered in purple and red tulip shaped crepe paper which threw a rosy glow of color over the entire hall. The balcony carried out the same effect with smaller diagonals en the pancls and the legend, Delaware Alpha Sigma Phi Epsilon, written across the front. A large electric badge of Sigma Phi Epsilon occupied the center of the baleony, The programs were of white kid leather with a gold seal in the center, purple and red cords. Favors of scissors and letter opener in blue grained leather cases stamped with the Sigma Phi Epsilon crest were given to the ladies, The patronesses were: Mrs, B, C. Johnson, Mrs. G, E.

The work was done by Granville Robinson, an alumnus, and while very simple, was very attractive and effective. The lights were covered in red and the rest of the room touched with the colors, which lent a distinetive atmosphere to the room. The badge of the fraternity, according to custom, was displayed from the baleony. A hundred and seventy people attended the dance. Immediately preceding the danee, which started at nine, a formal dinner was given in West Wing Dining Hall, which was decorated with fraternal banners. The programs were of dark blue leather with the Greek letters embossed in gold upon the front. Music was by Shorter's Orchestra of Wilmington. R 5. 1!-:'...: f l' - Vg x.

Two hundred people, including many alumni and guests, attended the dinner. Massey Gum, President of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity, gave a brief address of welcome. Following the dinner, the diners assembled in the Newark Armory where the dance took place until two o'clock. The Armory was decorated on the plan of an old garden, the walls of the Armory forming the garden wall, and the rest of the structure being so decorated as to earry out this effect very well. The eceiling was covered in a huge spider's cobweb, in which were caught numer- ous butterflies, bugs, and other artistically constructed insects. High grass grew in the corners of the room, and in two corners there were huge toad- stools with benches beneath, The punch bowl was very eleverly hidden in the form of a sun dial. The side door of the Armory was scenically made into a large hole in the garden wall, and in no way resembled the old door, The music was by Madden's Orchestra, The patronesses were: Mrs. G. E. Dutton, Mrs. W. H. Steel, Mrs, J. 5, Shaw, Mrs. N. N. Wright, Mrs. J. C. Hastings, Mrs. G. L. Townsend, Mrs, 8. J. Wright, Mrs. John Pilling, Mrs, J. P.

This is Bad Business, because failure to make a proper dis- position of one's earthly possessions will give those who come after unnecessary trouble and expense, Good Business prompts each one to make his Will, name the persons to whom he wishes his possessions to go, de- scribe the manner in which this disposition shall be made, and appoint an Executor, We strongly urge this important matter of Good Business on all.

A new chapter was about to be written in the world's history of inventions. The famous bridge was to be lighted by gas. Suddenly the bridge was flooded with light. The crowd fell back, bewildered. An engineer stepped forward and touched the gas pipes. He invited a member of Parliament to do likewise. This gentleman refused until he had borrowed heavy gloves. He be- lieved the pipes contained fire and would burn him. Thereafter gas dominated the lighting field. Then came elec- tricity and people said, Gas is doomed. But Edison replied, Gas is destined to be the heating agent of the world. What has happened? Today gas is used in five thousand different ways in industry. And it is growing fast!

The dentist is no longer looked upon as a mere tooth fixer, but as a medical specialist. Out of every ten persons who should go to the dentist, only one goes. Yet every dentist in America has all the patients that he can properly attend to. The continually increasing interest in dentistry, with greater appreciation of the value of dentistry in preserving health and preventing disease, is bringing people to the dentist's office in ever increasing numbers. More dentists are needed. It will be many years before there can possibly be enough dentists to do the work the public wants.
