4 QLD CQELEGE Oh! stately pile, with accents true, Our voice with love we raise to you; Midst us you stand a shrine of gold, Whose virtues we shall e'er uphold. Old Callege dear, with mem'ries sweet, Tis where old friends we always meet, Who grasp us by the hand and sigh For times of jov in days gone by, Cnarres E. Green, '25 K. D. Givan, 26 Editor-in-Chief Business Manager m--:;? MARTIN R TANNEN I WILLIS JACOBY Published by . THE SENIOR' AND JUNIOR CLASSES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE FOREWORD The 1939- 40 Blue Hen has had a hectic career. Alter being launched by the original editors, it Foundered in midstream and was slowly sinking until October, 1939, when the former editor was deposed and the present editors undertook publication of the book. Since that time, with the help of a sincere and co-operative staff, we have attempted to gather the loose ends and piece them together into a unified and complete whole. At the time we tock over, the book was far from com- pleted and we tock the liberty of inserting quite a few original ideas. However, shortage of time prevented us from making as many changes as we would have desired. Be that as it may here is your yearbook.

D Born in 1875 in Woodrow Wilson's home town, Staunton, Virginia, President Walter Hullihen had a good precedent for entering the teaching profession. His studies at the University of Virginia and, lare, ar John Hopkins University, were rewarded with a Ph.D. in 190. He taught languages and mathematics in the University School, Baltimore, and at the University of the South from 1909 1o 1912, at which time he became Dean of the Arts and Science School there, Since 1920 he has guided the University of Delaware as President. His activiries in that period have also included the sponsorship of the Forelgn Study Group in France and in Germany. Honors awarded him include: Docror of Civil Laws from the University of the South in 1922 and Doctor of Laws from Temple University in 1925, He is also a Chevalier in the Legion of Honor. 19 The Deans SCHUSTER, SPENCER, DUTTON GEORGE ELLIOT DUTTON A graduate of the University of Delaware Class of 1904, Dean Dutton did graduare work at Johns Hopkins Universicy and at Harvard University where he received his Master of Arts Degree in 1911, At thar time, he became connected with the English Department of Delaware which he has served in various capacities ever since. He was elected Dean of Delaware College in 1923. ROBERT LYLE SPENCER DCean Spencer was graduared from lowa State Col- lege in 1912, Following thar, he raught for six years and then engaged for a time in commercial engineering work. In 1928, he became Dean of the Engineering School of the University of Delaware. GEORGE LEE SCHUSTER TCean Schuster was born in the midwestern town of Middletown, Indiana. He was graduated from Ohio State University in 1916, with a degree of Bachelor of Science, and received his Master's degree in Science from the same insdtudon in 1918. He continued his graduate work when he received a fellowship awarded at Cornell University in 1927- 28. During this period he was granted a leave of absence from the University of Delaware, where he was a memker of the faculty., After graduating from Ohio State University, he served as assistant agronomist at the same institution for two years. Then he proceeded to West Virginia University, where he was instructor for the scholastic year 1918-1919, and came to the University of Delaware in 1920, where he took up the position of professor of agronomy. Thus, he has been in the service of Celaware College for eighteen vears. He succeeded Dean C. A. McCue on July 1, 1939, Besides serving as Dean of the School of Agriculture, he is Director of the Experiment Station and Director of Extension Service at the university. Business Administrator Charles E. Grubb Although appointed to his present office of Business Administrator in April, 1936, Mr. Charles E. Grubb has been connected with the University of Delaware for many years. In 1914, he was an honor graduate from the School of Engineering following an active campus career. While in college, he was elected to Phi Kappa Phi and was Editor-in-Chief of both the Review and Blue Hen. He was later elecred to Tau Bera Pi. During the Commencement exercises of 1930, Mr. Grubb was awarded an honorary Master's degree in Civil Engineering. From 1918 1o 1930, he served as Chief County Engineer of New Castle County and as the New Castle County State Highway Commissioner in which capacities he supervised construction and maintenance of roads and srructures. In 1930, he became Engineer-Executive of the American Road Builders Association of Washington, D. C. and in 1934, Assistant Director, Projects Division, F.E.A., with offices in Washingron. During all this time, he kept in close contact with the affairs of his University, so thar in the short time since his appointment to his present position, he has already greatly increased the efficiency of the Business Office. His sympathetic, vet business-like and efficient treatment of student problems has esrablished him firmly in the hearts of all those who know him. 21 The National Youth Administration makes funds available for payment to needy college and graduate students in regular attendance ar institutions of colleg- iate and university standing for part-rime work during the academic vear.

Jack McDoweLL Miss Manry BuanerT The exact date of the founding of the University of Delaware Alumni Associntion is not known; however, it has been in existence continuously for several de- cades. While the Association has at various times gone ahead with progressive and determined strides, there have been periods when the advance toward its goal has been slow and retarded. In viewing the alumni associations of other colleges, we find that they have had similar experiences. During the past quarter of a century, in an effort to make con- tinuous progress, many of these associations hawve established alumni offices with full-time execurive secretaries. This act in itself naturally does not assure the success of any alumni association, bur we do find that those which have been most successful employ one or more Hllun l 'Ut. l.:l'l.'kfrs., In April, 1938, as a resule of the generosity and fore- thought of an outstanding alumnus and friend of the University, it became possible for an alumni office o be established at Delaware. This, however, is only the first step. In order for that office to carry on the pur- poses for which it was established, the whole-hearted and active cooperation of the men who have attended, and who will attend, Delaware College is essential. To vou who will soon graduate, and thus automatic- ally become alumni of this College, we wish to say that we hope the mere act of graduating will not sever your relationship wirh the University, but will, instead, strengthen your ties with it. Those of us who have completed our college course some years ago realize that for the next few years you will be busily engaged in making your real start in life. You may not appreciate immediately the benefits whic you have derived from having been privileged ro secure a college education. Some of you may be reminded of the fact that or each day of registration you paid a 1 certain sum in return for which YOU Were permitted to take courses and to secure credits which resulted in your being granred a degree. Afrer a few years have passed and you see yourselves gradually rising above the level of those who have not been privileged to extend their education, the realiza- Continued on page 166 SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE Assoc.

The Council's authority is definitely set forth in the consttution which was adopred this vear with the unianimous consent of the student body. The most important change the new constitution made is the provision for a fifteen-man Coundil, instead of the large unwieldy twenty-one-member Council of former years. The fifteen-man Council is-more compact, resulting in increased efficiency and more unanimity of opinion. The size, as now provided for, also insures a higher calibre of membership. To have successful student government implies cer- tain obligations as well as privileges. The chief object is for every student to maintain an active, constructive interest in the governing body, The student body as a whole has a wvery definite function in the school government and should bear this in mind. It is readily apparent that a Council which annually appropriates $4,000 for studenr activities must represent the cream of the crop as it were: therefore, much time and con- sideration should be given to the selection of members, for this has been a detriment ro eficient student man- agement in the past. It seems that the students have failed to realize their power of government or to what extent they may use iL The present Council has accomplished much despire the fact thar this is the first tdme it has operated under a strict written constitution. The first big step forward was the return of Rar Rules under the guise of Freshman Regulations. The new code is a modification of the old extinct Rat Rules , the policy now being to do away with the theory of compulsion and to instill instead school gpirit by having the upperclassmen set a pood example for the freshmen to follow. So far the plan has proved successful, and due ro the liberal stand of the Council there has been no rowdyism. The plan of subsidization of the Junior Prom was the next step forward. Under this plan the Student Council directly supports and controls the Junior Prom. The Council is to donate $500 or more, depending on the condition of the budger. Also, the price of admis- sion will be reduced to a nominal fee of no more than $1.50, the purpose to permit as many students as pos- sible to attend the dance at a moderate admission. Topping both of these accomplishments, however, was the adoption of the new Srudent Social Program. The students now have direct control over their social acrivities. A committee, consisting of representatives from both Delaware College and the Women's Colleze, jointly control the student social calendar, This is the first time in the history of the college that the student body has completely supervised social affairs, the power formerly resting in the hands of the faculty. This latter step especially indicates a bright furure for the Student Council; it is a step roward relaxing of faculty supervision over student policy. The success of the plan lies, of course, in the hands of the student body. this plan remains in their hands. Student Council proves itself capable of governing the It is the responsibility of students to see thar As long as the student's affairs, the faculty should find no objection to this plan. The outlook for the future is indeed a bright one. The next important step the Student Council should take is toward a combined year book-a year book belonging to the University of Delaware, published each year jointly by both the Men's College and the Women's College. This should be the ultimate aim of every Student Council member until this end has been accomplished. The plan would not only reduce expenses, but it would also give the student bodies of both colleges a year book each year, instead of one every two years. The outstanding achievement along the social lines has been the new plan of giving all Council dances free of charge. This is the first time such a plan has ever been attempred. The Council's main notion has been that the money collected by the Council belongs to the student body and should be expended for the benefit of the man in the classroom. Opening our social year with the Welcome Dance as a free dance, brought the largest artendance that has ever been known at any dance given on this campus. Orther free dances followed: Warsity Hop, Spring Frolic, and Farewell Hop. Such have been the accomplishments of the 1938 1939 and '40 Student Councils. 101 On March 18, 1938, Jacob Kreshtool, prominent member of the Class of '39, succeeded . William Wells as editor-in-chief of the Review. Louis Goldstein suc- ceeded Julius Revier as business manager. Kreshtool's tegime was one of the most colorful in the history of the paper. In his first editorial he wrote: You can bet thar our edirorials will certainly tread the middle path. The direction is not what has us worried. It's the velocity. We see ourselves huddled inside a big black bowling ball. Down the alley we go, half way between the gutters. The wall, if you are still interested, zets closer and closer to us and bigger and bigger and then-pow! The next two editorials were on the Y. W. C. A. and Stamping Oue Syphilis . The most important single piece of news during his editorship was the radfication on May 6, 1938, of the new Student Council Constitution which provides for a 10-5 representarion. In reporting the evenrs of this campaign, Kreshtool wrote: Just prior to the vore, the campus was flooded with one-word satirical posters. They said simply: Jal, and were tacked on trees, bulle- tin boards, doors, and window-sills. In the Council room where the ballots were cast was a 10 fr. x 4 fr. blackboard with four foot block letter instructions: VOTE JA! Down in the lower right corner was a tiny alter- native: ! . or nein. YThe final vote was overwhelmingly Ja!l And Dela- ware Colleze, like Austria, has a new government. On May 13, 1938, Kreshrool printed an open lecter 102 REVIENW to the faculry and rrustees of the university proposing the Dramatic fee of one dollar. Some say their Mitchell Hall results are not up to professional standard, but that's beside the point. Our athletic teams are not up to pro. standard, yet we give fifteen dollars a year to athletics. The proposal was defeated. Meanwhile Kreshrool and Harry Stutman had organ- ized the Review Radio Program. The first of these programs was broadcast over WDEL on May 13, 1938. The program, a football forecast, had co-captains Thomas Byan and Ernest George as guest artists, It was written by John Swenehart and John Neeson. Ar the same time another innovadon was in the air. For over a year Stutrman and Kreshrool had been ex- pounding the advantages of a combined Men's College- Women's College literary magazine. As the campaign came to a climax, Kreshrool editorialized for several weeks straight and Stutman cajoled, and finally, on Okctober 28, 1938, this notice appeared in the editorial column of the Review: The combined Pambo- Humanist merger is well on its way to reality. Credit goes to Harry Sturman, who conceived the plan, George Baker, Humanist prexy, Dorothy Hopkins, First Lady of the Press Club, and to the student govern- ments of both schools. On November 4, 1938, the Review carried as its banner the headline Delaware Marches To The Sea''. It was the seventh consecutive year this headline had been used. In the same issue Kreshtool congratulared the administradon of Delaware College for adding Wasserman blood tests to the physical examinarions.

The whole affair revolved around the plans for the PAJAMA PARADE which had been planned to take place between the halves of the Drexel-Delaware foot- ball game. The freshmen refused to leave the stands, putting on a show of remonstrance thar was ill-timed on Alumni Day. The Council threatened action, and the frosh dared either the Council or the Dean to show their faces. Kreshrool took up the sword of jusdce for the freshmen in an editorial entitled We Insist . . . They're Gentlemen! , in which he declared that they are entitled to share in something for which they have paid out money'. The editorial did not affece the issue. On December 2, 1938, the Review carried the largest, most tabloidical headline in its whole history. The entre front page was filled with three screaming words: Drovenr Hirs Cottece.

This we have done to the best of our abiliry. In planning the book we have attempted to present as broad a view as possible of campus affairs, interesting to both faculty and students. In summarizing the various acrivities, we have tried to give clear and unbiased descriptions, usually written by persons who are in an advantageous position to do s0. However, in trend with the times, we have at- THE BLLE tempted to minimize the writing and make the book more pictorial, A yearbook usually is not the appropriate place to editorialize; however, we believe thar now the marter is in order, since it is relative to the publication of year- books, to speak of the lack of cooperation the editors have been compelled ro face. Not wishing to exonerate the former editor of this ed, we still maintain rhar it was not entively his fault. The spirit of this university book, who so miserably fai has sunk to a new low and must be awakened if we wish to enjoy all the benefits thar are present for the asking. We have no panacea to offer. We can only hope that this little reminder will stir our stagnant forms to life and bring a renewed spirict to the University of Delaware. A step in the right direction would definitely be the combination of the Blue Hen with the Women's College yearbook, the Blue and Geld. This combination would facilitare an annual publica- tion instead of the biennial now existing at each college. It is evident that a biennial yearbook is unfair to a large part of the student body, as the seniors always dominate the book and the juniors can easily be said to have no '5-'1.'3T1H?I.Jk. The Student Council of Delaware College has already expressed its approval of this plan and the only objec- 104 N Whar the objection can possibly be is difficult to understand. tion comes from the Women's Colleze. If they are afraid that they would have no say in the production of the baok and thus lose valuable adminis- trative experience, we propose that the responsibiliries be divided in a practical way berween a male ediror and a female editor. If this plan is not feasible, we suggest char the editor- ship alternate between the two colleges each year. Since each college would then be having twice as many issues, Women's College would still have the same chance at the editorship as it has at present, The benefits of a combined yearbook are countless. The book would be larger, more beautiful, more expen- sive with no increase in cost per student, and it would cover a greater scope of events. We sincerely hope that the next yearbook of the University of Delaware will be a combined one. EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-Chief Marrin R, Tannen Managing Editor Witiam K.

It aims to stimulate interest in, and dis- cussion of, literature and the fine arts, It also atrempts to stimulare original literary and artistic endeavor among the students of Delaware College. The program of the Humanist Society is divided into three parts: The sociery holds a series of afrernoon meetings throughout the school year. Speak- ers are secured for these meetings., After they have given their talks, a period for asking questions and for general discussion of the topic is permiteed. 108 In conjunction with the Department of English the society sponsors five smoke talks during the year. The smoke talks are held in the Lounge of Old College, Sub- jects of wide interest at the moment are usually chosen. Together with the Press Club at the Women's College the Humanist Society co- sponsors the Cauldron, the literary magazine of the University of Delaware.

Of first note, the E-52 Players . For the past two years the Players under the direction of Dr, Kase and able assistants have produced the three major shows of the season. A new feature is the Playbill , winning more and more favor with each presentation. The four playbills a year are staged by The Puppets Club of Women's College, The Footlights Club of Delaware College, and the University Drama Group or by the plavers of a guest college. These one-act plays offer experience to new talent, and a free hand to student-directing and producing groups. Also, with each year come new experiments by the production staffs, greater techndical skill and inovarions, and the ever growing interest on part of student and townsman, DramaTic PERSONNAE Several memorable personalities have left their marks the past few years. Dorty Coun- ahan, Jeanne Davis, Libby MacFarland, Kay Castle, and Herbert Warburton are a few to 110 be mentioned for the good work of their senior year, season '37-'38. Of two and three years praiseworthy service are Jane I'tent, Mina Press, Edith Counahan, Betty Jane Brown, Helen Adams, Martha Ziebutski, Blanche Lee and Thelma West; Joseph Tatnall, William M. Richardson, Sol Markowitz, Leonard Taylor, William Kern Richard- son, Harry Stutman; and more recently, Peg Smith, Ellen Simon, Al Mock and others, These are the folk who have contributed much for excellent stage characrerizadons, who cannor help bur inspire the incoming applicants. PropucTions Players, Puppets and Footlights have brought o ?'din'f'n:H!l lall stage these two years thirty-two plays in all, comprising six full-length plays and twenty-four one-act plays. Of the full-length plays two were outstanding: Mrs. Moon- light , a romatic-comedy treating the ques- ton of perpetual youth, the fall production of '37; and Much Ado Abour Nothing, Shakespeare's good comedy about the rrials and tribulations of matchmakers and the Matchmade, spring presentation of '39. STEELMAN, Tireany, Kasg, Stursan, DasNyMENBERG These two merit first mention for smooth dvlix'fry. Mrs. Moonlight saw two performances in Philadelphia as tempo, and feeling in almost every instance, guest of the Templavers of Temple University. Much Ado About Mothing was the first Shake- Spearean FIH':.' in many YEATs, L!!hl :l:'.L' 'EI.-'.N: E ':'lr.' glven at Micchell Hall. It was presented with a joint cast of students and members of the University Draam Group. Hedda Gabler '38, Ibsen's much dispured classic: and Stage Door 38, laughter and tears with the girls of a theartrical boarding house, were superb with staging, lighting, costuming and good characterizations. However, both suffered from slowness, which would have been overcome at a second or third performance. '38, and It Can't Happen Here 39, were of interest because of staging and individual Excursion 'xurr-nrnua,-u;q-',-i, Ex;;l.lr:-;iunn WHas .'h'u.HI,rfi .EE!!.E'II on JL:I.L' .:Hh,i i1'l rhc '!I.lI.ZITI.'i l:thiru rlh'.

Several good comedies have appeared on the Play- hills, Sparkin' and No, Not The Russians , especi- ally are to be remembered; also, John Swenchart's Frozen Beaury' and The Boy and the Demon , both witty, cleverly sariric, and developed on good themes. In closing these paragraphs on productdons specia mention must be given Noel Coward's Fumed Oak , a guest feature on the Fifry Playbill program enacted by the University Drama Group. It is claimed by many to be the best piece of drama given in Mitchell Hall these past three years.

Among the production staffs, experimentation is still a by-word, For the one-act plays a special set of convertible scenery was buile, consisting of drapes, steps, pylons, platforms, and the like., The convertible scenery allows for rapid change and its use is a constant challenge to the set designers. The workshop has experimented with and has found very successful Casein'', a new type of scene paint which greatly simplifies the scene painting problems of amateurs. AW AN Knotrs amn NEegson Several important additions to the equipment of Mitchell Hall have been made largely through the efforts and ingenuity of two fellows, Reynold Knotres and Jack Neeson. An extension has been made ro the light bridge so that it is now possible to open the curtain its entire width without the use of the drape rope. Anorher importanr contribution is a eridiron which these two students constructed to facilitate the hanging of drapes on the stage. The most noteworthy addition by these two is the cuemaster board , an ingenuous device by which it is possible to control the curtain and lights, the starting and stopping and the volume of off-stage effects, the ringing of telephone and door bells, and even the sounding of the chimes in the lobby to remind the audience that the currain is abour to go up. University Dramatic CenTer Dr. C. R, Kase, the director of Dramatics at Dela- ware, under whose capable direction Delaware dra- matics has steadily progressed, has fostered and broughe to prominence within two years the university Dra- matic Center. The objective of the Dramatic Center has been to give technical assistance and encourage- ment to dramatic groups throughour the srate and vicinity. The February '39 conference was artended by about 250 delegates representing fifty-five organizations from four states. National recognition has been given the work of the center through the election of Dr. Kase, director, to membership in the National Theater Con- ference. Looking AHEAD 1939-1940 rolls around the Tenth Anniversary of the E-52 Plavers. At present they are staging Thornton Wilder's Our Town to be given November 16, 1939, Our Town is one of the most significant develop- ments of American scenery in the past ten years. It applies the oriental device of stage manager to the American Theater. There is an absence of properties and scenery, but an intense use of pANCOMine, expres- sive acting, lighr and music. A long needed play-reading commitree has been established which will have great influence in play selection, Each vear one classic is presented. Starting wich 1940 the classic will be given in February rather than in the spring. Thus with each vear old hopes and new ideas are realized, all making for better and more progressive Popperr, Mancoum, Saaw, Wicrarn, Bove, Wisown Scorr, Baker, Abie, BrownNiNG, SIGLER THE DEBATING SOCIETY Debating was revived as an extra-curricular actvity at Delaware College in 1936 after a five-year lull. Since then it has evolutionized from a group slightly interested in public speaking experience to a sociery capable of meeting the best in the intercollegiate field of forensic endeavor: the latter statement is qualified by the society's record. It is now a hybrid organization, being half extra-curricular, in thar the society is financed by the Student Council, and half academic. in thar academic credit is given for participation. Dr. A. H. Able, 111, advisor to the debat- ing society, is duly rm:u;,:nizn:il as Mentor of 114 E'?P : Debate' for his genuine and whole-hearted interest, not only in debating, but also in the men he has developed through the benefit of his own experience. It was ar the instization of Dr. Able that the course in argumenta- tion and debate has been included in the department of English curriculum. - Within these past few vears a new era has been accorded forensic activity by means of the radio. Our men have successfully pre- sented Delaware's views on the air azainst the University of Pennsylvania twice on a coast-to-coast nerwork, twice against Continued on page 177 THE INDEPENDENT MEN'S ASSOCIATION In recent years, the average membership of the five or six social fraternities on the Delaware campus has been abour 353 of the enrolled student body. For reasons of economy or individuality, the other 6537 of the students have remained independent of any definite body whose main purpose was the development of social expression. Thus we have this situation: the majority of the members of an educatonal instirution whose purpose is largely the development of one's personality along academic and social lines, have had only limited opportunities for our most common forms of social CXDPression dances and parties. To relieve such an unhealthy situation as this, a few students created the Non- Fraternity Social Organization in Febru- ary of 1937 At this date, and to a certain extent even todday, the backers of the group met skepticism and derision from the entrenched Greek-letter men. It is fln'.'rllmlrr.: that more mature minds saw this experiment in a different light. I am referring ro the enthusiastic support that Dr. . Fenton Dougherty of the Social Committee and Mr. Charles E. Grubb, Business Administrator, gave ro the idea. From March 1937 two FEthli-lr'..' 1939, this Zroup was known as the Non-Fraternity Social Organization. At this later date it was realized thart this rirle hardly beficted the true spirit of the men who supported it. To better define its putpose, the name was changed ro the Independent Men's Associarion. This name in icself explains the group.

The society took an active part in all college affairs and together with Delta Phi provided the leading organizations on the campus, The society not nnly developed literary talent among the students, but also spent much effort in promoting debates. Until about 1913 or 1914 the club continued o play an important part in college life, but at this tme for reasons unknown, interest and support gradually de- clined until the organization ceased to exist, In 1934 the Athenzan Society was revived when the Economics Clubs adopted the name of the older society, This was a step toward reviving the old rraditions and customs at Delaware. At the same time the scope of the club was broadened to include internarional affairs. The society in conjunction with the Forum Club ar Women's Colleze received a signal honor when in 1936 the International Reladions Clubs of the Middle Arlantic Srates held their annual convention on this campus. Every vear since then the Arhenman Society has sent a delegarion of members held. At the 1938 convention held at Swarth- 116 more College, the Athenzan Society sent a delegation of five members. Wilson F. Humphreys, Class of 40, acted as chairman at the round table discussion on Pan-American Relations and at the close of the con- vention was elected vice-president of the International Relations Clubs of the Middle Atlantic States. The other members of the Delaware delegation, including Osborne Mackie, President of the Athenzan Society 193839, R. T. Wilson, and Russel Willard, acrively patticipated in the various group discussions and once more brought Delaware College to the forefront of the I. R. C. convention. This year the convention is scheduled ra be held ar the New Jersey College for Women, Rutgers University. The delegarion has not yet been selecred but the caliber of men chosen will undoubtedly carry on the establish- ed Delaware rradition of interested participation in all discussions and activities, The officers for 1938-1939 were: Oshorne Mackie p-r:sidem; Robert T. Wilson, vice-presi- dent; Wilson F., Humphreys, secretary; James Hutchison, rreasurer. The officers for 1939- 1940 are: Wilson F. Humphreys, president; William Gregg, vice-president; Russel Willard secretary; Franklin Sumner, treasurer; the Faculry adviser for this organization is Dr. Georze H. Eyden.

The ad- vanced course, which leads to a second lieutenant's commission in the Coast Artillery Reserve, is elective and demands two additional years of study. To the average freshman, military training is some- thing new, and, at first, may even be exciting. He is given a uniform which seldom fits, an overcoat which never fits, a rifle, class-work and drill, and usually an A for a final mark. He is confused at drill by the raucous voice of his cader officer commanding him ro keep his eyes off the ground, to keep his chin up, to swing his free arm, and not to carry his rifle like a shot-gun, The sophomore, who has been exposed tw college for a yvear and who is therefore wiser, strugeles with the intricacies of artillery and prays for rain every Thurs- day. He feels superior to the freshman who steps off a pivot or does right shoulder arms with no more snap than a drowsy leviathan. The junior, if he has the proper physical and scholastic qualifications, and if he is accepred by the military department, signs a contract with the govern- ment by which he agrees to complete the advanced course, receiving in return a tailor-made uniform and a pay-check every four months. He gets three typhoid jabs and a small-pox vaccination. He masters the super intricacies of sea-coast artillery and ant-aircraft de- fense, and looks forward to his summer training at Fort Hancock. Then it's Fort Hancock for six weeks. Six weeks of sweat, calisthenics, infantry drill, demerits, inspection, denims, O.D's, saluting, and cleaning rifles. The junior becomes acquainted with the blasting roar of the big guns, the crack of the A.A. guns, the formidable clatter of machine guns, and is mystified by the secret of hitting a target with a .45. He shares his tent with two Fordham men, dashes for the New York boat on Satur- day mornings, lives, eats, and breathes army, gets a swell tan and learns the beaury and exactness of army profanity. The senior guesses at who will get whar job, grabs a sabre, and drills the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. In class he studies military history and policy, and military law. He reminisces about his glorious days ar Fort Hancock: and finally in May he receives his COmmission. But here's the imporrant thing to remember. Though the military department sticks a rifle in the hands of a student for two years, the rookie is not being trained to serve in an aggressive army. The United Stares Army is purely a defensive organization, 121 Stearns, Surrton, Coss, DoucLass, WaoNeR Bamrosnesky, MarviL, Huriey, Zaper, Knox, Rropes, Dickivson, Toms Bamsn, Snorter, Barnmert, Durrr, Hanea, 'l:':'l,:l;Nl l, SLAUGHTER Warsm, Savteman, Corry, Bovce, Bensow, Harcuerson, Baken, Wanres Conwor, Hustom, Keiiey, Baxer, Heavy, Loveiess, Goop, Romnson, McKee Stirrer, Hurcrison, Hearr, Mancuesten, Davipsown, Lipstem IHE QrFlCERES CL LB Fhe Officers' Club was organized in the fall of 1938. lts organization resulted from efforts of a group of seniors who wished to gather the cadet officers together that they might have some means of expressing and obtaining their desires. The membership was then, and srill is, limired to the Juniors and Seniors taking the advanced military course, Officers of the Officers' Club for the scholastic year 1938-'39 were: President, John Healy; Vice-president, Edwin Manchester; Secretary, Ernest Davidson; and Treasurer, James Hutchison. 122 The club holds its meerings the second Thursday of each month, usually in Evans Hall. Each cadet officer must attend in uniform or he is fined ten cents. Numer- ous informatve talks, often laborious or otherwise humorous, have been given by members of the club or guest Reserve Offcers. The first important undertaking of the year was a Military Ball held at the Newark Country Club. The first annual Military Ball was a success in every detail except for the weather, and was a distinct credit to a Ko The University of Delaware R. O. T. C. Band, under the supervision of Sergeant James H. Oversereet, has taken several steps toward improving the organization. New uniforms, consisting of dark hlue coars with gold chevrons, light blue trousers with a gold stripe down the seam, and blue and gold overseas caps, have been issued. A white crisscross belt with a brass breast- plate sets off the uniform and gives it a snappy appear- ance. There are forty-three musicians in the band, each of whom has had previous experience in high school bands. The band is well divided in the type and num- ber of instruments played. First, second, and third part harmonies have been and are being worked our. Several new selections have been added ro the band files. Among these are; Officer of the Day March, C. BAND L. 8. Field Artillery March, Little Sir Echo, University of Pennsylvania Band March, Don't Give Up the Ship, and the Beer Barrel Polka. One of the chief dificuldes facing the band in the past has been the trouble of getting all members to- gether for a regular scheduled practicee. Warious methods had been tried, but all failed after a short time. This vear, however, a regular scheduled member of the band who has an unexcused absence from practice receives demerits, just as if he had missed a Thursday military drill. Robert Laird is cthe first sergeant succeeding Charles Wagner, who is now captain of the band. Captain Wagner succeeded Jack Connor, last vear's captain. Laird is drum major and also plays solo trumpet. 123 HOMOR SOCIETIES DERELICTS K. T. Wusows, President Eant McCornp, V. Pres Tom Rvam, Secretary E. J.

DoHerTy, JR. The University of Delaware has enjoyed a compre- hensive program of Intercollegiate Athletics for a great many years under the administration of the Arhleric Council. The Athletic Council is composed of one student- representative from each of the four classes, the Fresh- man tepresentative being without vote, two members of the Faculty appointed by the President of the Uni- versity, two members of the Alumni appointed by the Executive Committee of the General Alumni Associa- tion, the Director of Physical Education, and the Director of Intercollegiate Athlerics. Ar the present time, Intercollegiate Sports schedules are supported by the Athletic Council in football, basketball, soccer, swimming, baseball, track, tennis, and golf. Fencing as an intercollegiate sport was drop- ped temporarily in 1938 because of a lack of sufficient interest, but it will probably be resumed as soon as interest in the sport justifies. The Intercollegiate Sports Program is almost entirely underwritten by the Student Athletic Fees together with the gate receipts derived from football, basketball, swimming, and baseball. The expense of coaching and maintenance of the gymnasium and athletic field is underwritten mostly by the college and partly by 130 by Mr. G. P. Donenty, Ju. Student Athletic Fees. At the present time, the college is fortunate in having a competent and efficient corps of coaches, and excellent facilities for the conduct of Intercollegiate Sports. The students are also forrunare in the fact that the University Authorities have always shown a broad and common-zense artitude in the administration of an Inrercollegiare Arhletic Program. It is true that the facilities offered by the present gymnasium are sadly lacking in some respects, and particularly so in the way of taking care of Intercollegi- ate Sports. It is for this reason that the writer is firmly convinced that improvement in the way of a modern field house rather than a more expensive gymnasium is a better solution for this problem. A gymnasium makes little or no provision for the early practices or training of achletes for spring sports, and none what- ever for the pracrices of fall sports during bad weather. On the other hand, the design of a field house can be such thar the needs of Intercollegiate Sports, Intra- mural Spores and required Physical Education can all be taken care of adequately. However, this matter is one which will be taken care of by the university authorities when the money is available, and will no doubt be given the same careful consideration that has been given to all other university improvements. In any event, any improvement, whether gymnasium or field house will be welcomed by all. Delaware has enjoved a fair degree of success in Intercollegiate Athletics, and, with the possible excep- tion of football, has managed to break even in Inrer- collegiate contests over a period of time. Football, however, is on the up-grade at Delaware, and rhis fact is as it should be. Football, more than any other sport, has a great influence on the spirit of the student body and alumni, and on the interest of the general public in the university. Under the same careful administration of Inter- collegiate Archletics by the Arhledec Council in the future as in the past, Intercollegiate Athletics is bound to be one of the most valuable influences in the growth of the University of Delaware. SUMMARY OF 1937 - 1938 GRID SEASON University of Delaware's Blue Hens dropped a close one to the Washington College Gridmen 16-13 on November 20 to ring down the curmain on rhe 1937 season, Although the season was not a good one from the aspect of games won and lost, it showed much promise. The encounter was well played before a capacity Alumni Day crowd and provided a host of thrills for the grads. As in previous frays, the Hens' downfall proved to be a field goal. The closing whistle found a fighting Hen in the shadows of the Sho'-men's goal posts. The Clarkmen faced a strong Ursinus juggernaut in Head Coach Grexnpa Coaches Suerps, Grenpa, Lee their opening game on the lateer's field. Despite all the odds against them, the fichting Chicks held the Bears scoring to a field goal, scored in the closing minutes of the first quarter, until the fourth canto. Meanwhile, Delaware scored as the result of a blocked kick in the second period. The Hens manitained their slim margin until the fourth quarter when Ursinus recovered a blocked kick on the Blue and Gold's 20. They scored on several subsequent line bucks. The final Bear score came as a result of a safety in the waning minutes of the game. Following this close hard-fought bartle, the Hens 131 were confronted with a more stellar foe in Rutgers University at New Brunswick. The game proved to be a onesided affair with Rutgers dominating to the tune of a 27-0 defeat. Though on the short end of the score, the boys in Blue and Gold gave a good account of themselves in spite of the superior odds of too much brawn and class. In their curtain raiser at Newark, the Delaware gridsters met a powerful foot-minded Lebanon Valley eleven. Playing on a muddy field, the game was any- body's during the first period. The Hens swept them off theit feet at the opening whistle and scored seven points before the conrest was hardly under way. How- ever, when Lebanon Valley began its barrage, it did not stop untill the final score read 23-7 in their favor. During the course of the game Lebanon Valley ac- counted for three well-kicked field poals, each well over 25 yards. Although Dickinson's Red Devils were thoroughly scouted by the Delaware coaches, who also drilled the team in the necessary defense, the Blue Hens failed to click and received a drubbing. 18-0. After fighting brilliantly in the first period, the Blue and Gold seemed to have lost all interest in the game. As a result, the Red Devils were able to score very casily. Their most effective weapon was their passing attack for which the Delaware secondary seemed to have no resistance. The closing of the final quarter found Delaware in possession of the ball on the Devil's 30 yard stripe threatening to score. After four straight sethacks, the University of Dela- ware's gridders finally hit their stride against St. John's of Annapolis, rrouncing them 32-7. In this game the Hens scored almost at will. The first score came after a sustained drive of 54 yards. Following this came two successive scores as the result of brilliant open-field running by the Delaware backs. Another march of about 42 yards and an intercepred pass completed the Hens scoring for the day. The Johnnies managed to tally late in the final period on a long pass. The game ended with the ball in possession of the Blue and Gold. After a smashing victory over St. John's, the Hens met a stubborn foe in their biggest rivals, P. M. C. The game was hard fought with the Delaware squad having the edge in the play. However, a beautiful field goal in the waning minutes of the fArst half proved the margin of victory, neither team being able to account for a six pointer. 132 1938 FooTeaLL Sguabp 133 Creara, Hangans, Geavson, Bove, Ciner Playing in a driving rainstorm atr Philadelphia, the Blue and Gold almost upser highly-touted Drexel, being nosed out 8-6. Drexel scored in the first quarer after a drive which made it seem as if the game would be a runaway. However, they were able to make only one other score, a safety, which eventually won the ball game. The Hens score came in the last period, bur in spite of their stubborn efforts, they were unable to overcome the two point margin held by Drexel. Delaware's play offensively and defensively was highly commendable in view of grear odds. RESUME1938 FOOTBALL SEASON A new coach and a new system marked the 1938 football season at Delaware. The new coach was Stephen J. Grenda, who replaced Lyal Clark, and the new systemn was the Columbia system of Lou Little, under whom Grenda plaved three seasons of varsity ball ar a guard post. With him the new mentor brought George Lee, until that time basketball coach at St. Anselm College and a sports star at various schools during his collegiate days. The new coach faced the problem of instilling a new system into a geoup most of whom had played during the 1937 season under the rutelage of Clark, whose system was that currently being expounded by Dick Harlow at Harvard University, and during Clark's time at Western Maryland. The '37 season had been anything bur impressive, the only victory of an eight- game schedule being scored over a weak St. Johns of Annapolis eleven, 32-7. Added to this cup of woe was the fact that as a rule it takes at least one season for a new system to penetrate a football squad and to drive out the remainders of the old system. Ursinus was the first opponent and the Bears from Collegeville were expected to take the Blue Hens into camp with lictle trouble. Howewver, as a result of hard and rough pre-season practice sessions, Grenda's charges unexpectedly emerged victorious by a close score of 12-9, in one of the closest and best-played games seen on Frazer Field in many a day, Next in line was the Dickinson College Red Devils, the game being the first played on foreign soil, taking place at Carlisle, Pa. The Red Devils, led by one Sammy Padjen, a devil in his own might, a versatile runner and passer, won the ame handily to the tune of 25-0. The Devils ultimately went through the season losing only one game and tying Washinaron and Jefferson, 7-7. Once more on Frazer Field, the Hens encountered the Yellow Jackets of Randolph-Macon, from Virginia. 134 The Jackets brought a lighr bur characteristically speedy team, led offensively by Eddie Welsh, a diminu- tive back who ran the ends with abandon and for repeated gains. He, as well as the rest of the Virginia eleven, wore the Delaware ream down and walloped them to the tune of 27-0. Following this battle came the second meeting in history berween elevens representing Delaware and Lehigh University. The first meeting, over 20 years ago, had resulted in a 45-0 Lehigh triumph, and the final result of the encore was almost as bad, althouszh not a criterion of the respective strengeth of the two teams. The final result was 32-0 in favor of the Engineers, but this is only half the sory, for Delaware, outweighed by a tremendous margin, played the Brown and White contingent to a standstill for three quarters, but physical titedness and a lack of reserve turned the game into a rout in the last quarter, in which Lehigh scored 19 points. The Hens themselves were inside their opponents 20.yard stripe on three occasions, but superior manpower threw them back on each attempt. St. Johns of Annapolis was the next opponent, if they might be called thar, for the Saints brought a pathetically weak squad to Newark. Up undl the Delaware game they had played three times, had failed to score a point, and had registered just four first downs. They moved the yardsticks twice against the Blue and Gold, once on a penalty and later on a 40-yard run lare in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the Hens gained practically at will, and every man on the bench had a workout, the reserves plaving most of the time afrer the first period. The final score was 41-0, and had the first-stringers remained in the game, could have been twice as bad. Incidentally, after this same St. Johns' officials announced that intercollegiate foothall would be given up upon the completion of the 1938 schedule. The annual P, M. C. game in Arlantic City's Con- vention Hall was next on the docker, and the Blue Hens went into this battle fully expecting to triumph. However, the Cadets, led by Willie Piff in the backfield, and Plebe Dim Montero on the line, went to work early, and the result was a 32-2 Cadet victory. The Delaware offense completely stalled in this game, the blocking and tackling was sloppy, and the team as a whole disintezrated. Montero's vicious tackles played a major part in the victory, some observers saying that he was the finest lineman to come into Convention Hall since the incepton of the annual classic in 1931, Returning home, the Hens met Drexel Tech in the last home battle of the season, and once more went down to an ignominious defeat, this time by a count of 38-13. Not until the final period, when Drexel sub- stitutes were holding forch, did the Blue and Gold score, while the Dragons scored in every period and in general demoralized the home forces. They were led in the attack by Bill Hughes and Glenn Williams. The final game of the season was played at Chester- town, Md., against the tradirional foe, Washington College. The Sho'men in this game were winding up the worst season in the history of the school, as the eleven of that school had dropped every same of the season, and like St Johns, had failed to score a point. They didn't score against the Hens either, but the batrtle was close until the final whistle, the Delaware team scoring the only points of the pame on a blocked kick in the late stages, winning 2-0. The game was played on a gridiron deep in mud from an all-day rain. which continued in a steady downpour the entire time, Qutstanding for the Delaware team during the season were co-captains Ernie George and Tommy Ryan, and freshman Melvin Brooks, in the backfield, and Earl Shears, playing his third season of varsity ball ar an end positon; John Grundy, a freshman, Wilmer Apsley, Charlie Allen, and Larry Hodgson, who was injured late in the season, on the line. Ken Lockwood also showed signs of developing into an outstanding center, but was forced to drop from school after the P. M. C. game due to a recurrent head injury. The season as a whole was more fruitful than many previous ones, showing three wins and five defeats as it did, and gave promise of better days to come in Delaware football. 135 Ryan BASKETBALL SEASON 1938 - 1939 The University of Delaware basketball squad opened the 1938-'39 season with six veterans reporting to Coach Steve Grenda, new coach of the capge team. Coach Grenda immediately demonstrated his coaching ability by pepping up a previous lackadasical sport, and a change was institured in the Blue Hen's baskethall prospects for the coming season. An all-veteran ream that consisted of five lettermen journeyed to New Brunswick to help a championship Rutgers' team open its season. The new edition of the Blue Hens, which consisted of Captain Bruce Lindsay and Bill Gerow at the forward posts, Ed Anderson at center, with Earl McCord and Phil Reed taking care of the guard positions, went onto the floor, fighting against superior odds, and finally succumbed to the Red team in a last guarter rally. The undergraduates received McCord their first chance to see their team in action against Hahnemann of Philadelphia. The Hens evened up their ledger by swamping the future doctors. Philadel- phia Textile was next subdued by an overwhelming score, and then the Delaware five called a halt until after the Christmas vacarion. Delaware started the new year off on the wrong foot by losing to P. M. C. on the Cadet's floor. The contest was a close affair with the men from Chester winning out in the last quarter by two field goals. Again a field goal spelled defear for the local ream, when West Chester won a closely-fought contest by this margin. Western Maryland was the next quinret to taste defeat at the hands of the Grenda men. Washington College, however, continued an undefeated season by knocking over the Hens with a brilliant rally in the last quarter, Lincsay Sheats Mirchell Anderson The final score was 41 ro 26, But the Delaware team rebounded to score an eleven point win over Dickinson College, avenging the previous year's defeat. One point was the margin of victory between the West Chester five and the Delaware combine at the final whistle, with the Teachers on the winning end. It was in this game rthat Captain Bruce Lindsay set a modern record for the school in points scored per game, with a grand total of 19 counters. The sguad next traveled to New York City for two games with old big-town rivals. The first game, played with Pratt Institute, was won by a fighting Delaware team. The Blue Hens kept on rolling to sweep the second game with Brooklyn Poly, by a wide margin. Upon their return to home soil, the Hens made it three in a row by shellacking a weak Haverford ream, and increased their winning streak ro four straight with a repeat win over Wesrern Maryland. An away game with Washington College that ended the Blue Hens' winning streak was played at Chestertown. The referee handed the game to the Shoremen when they con- nected for 30 penalty tosses to provide the margin of victory. P. M. C. ht,'hwd the Hens to their ninth win 3. Wharton of the season when they lost by the score of 44 o 34. The season ended in Baltimore in a game against the University of Baltimore quintet, current Maryland state champions. The Maryland boys proved too much for Delaware and the season was brought to a close with a defeat. The court season was highly successful with Grenda's men taking down nine victories against seven defeats, the most games a Delaware baskerball team has won in the past five seasons. The sharpshooting of Ed Ander- son, Earl McCord, and Bruce Lindsay, who led the year's scoring with 175 points, proved a big factor in the piling up of the Blue team's winning points, The aguressiveness of Bill Gerow and Phil Reed, which rounded our a smooth working five, was also a notic- able factor on the local boards. The bad breaks ap- peared in the form of injuries to Phil Reed and the loss of Bill Gerow in mid-season, due to ineligibility. Fred Mitchell and Earl Sheats, two capable substitures, played important roles in the end-of-the-season drive, The lettermen who played their last game for Delaware on the basketball floor were Caprain Bruce Lindsay, Earl McCord, Phil Reed, and Ferris Wharton. 137 E. Wharton Kielhasa Harrington Thompson FOCLEER 1938 Under the guidance of Coach Bill Lawrence, Dela- ware's soccer team kept up the record of the 1937 Middle Adantic Conference Champions in excellent style. This year the team won five games, lost three and tied two,good showing for the first year under a bew coach. Perhaps the most significant fact of the whole season is thar abour 5077, of the games were played in the rain and on muddy fields. We started the season by playing a 1-1 tie with a strong Temple team rthat boasted two All Americans. Borvce After this the team rook over a rather mediocre Buck- nell team, 4-1. However, this good start was all for naught, as the ream gor in a rur afrer losing a rough one to Franklin Marshall, 4-3, and then lost three sames straight. Maryland and Rider accounted for the other two wins against us with scores of 3-1 and 2-0. We got back in stride again by beating Dickinson 3-2 and playing the second 1-1 tie of the season with Ursinus. From then on the team clicked perfectly. Going to New York we met Seton Hall, a new oppon- Swift Humphries Gretysom Warren ent, and came out on the long end of a 4-2 score. The next day Delaware defeated a strong Stevens Tech team 1-0 by virtue of a penalty kick by Tommy Thompson. The season was climaxed by taking over Gettysburg 3-1 in the final game. Much credit for the good season belongs to Caprt. Spike McCord who played his last year for Delaware. Spike and Sammy Grayson were the only senior letter- men on the team, so graduarion will nor hit so rerribly bad, the majority of the team being experienced. The honors for high scoring for the season went to Captain-elect Tommy Thompson star center forward. McCord G. Wharton Also along the honor lines Everett Mai and Malloy Vaughn played every minute of every gameEv at half-back, and Malloy doing a fine job as first year goalie. Much credir also goes to the other linemen, George Anderson, Sammy Armour, Trux Boyce, Elmer Har- rington and Emil Kielbasa. Backfield men like Harry Quillen, Guy Wharton, Amos Betts, and Bill Swift did a fine job of backing up the line. Jim Warren, who came out late in the season and got a fullback position, should be included in this group, Mai Betts Anderson BASEBALL 1939 During 1939, the Blue and Gold baseball team had a good season; winning eleven, losing six, and tying nne. During spring vacation, the Hens opened the season with their annual southern trip. The first opponent was Bridgewater, and Doc Doherty's charges scored a 3-1 win. Because of rain, the game with Virginia Medical was cancelled; so they journeyed to Lynchburg where they won easily 9-1. They took Hampden- Sidney's measure by a 7-1 count. In the last game of the trip Randolph-Macon defeated the Hens by the score of 4-1, Delaware collecting only four hits. The team returned to Frazer Field and entertained Fenn A. C. on a dull Saturday afternoon. Deadlocked at 5-5, the zame was called on account of rain. Al thousgh ouchit, the Hens nosed out Vermont 7-6 their next time out. The Engineers from Drexel came down to cross bats with the Dohertymen and, although crack- ing out nine hits to Delaware's six, were on the short end of a 53 score at the end of hostilities. With a twenty hit artack netting them eighteen runs, the Delawareans swamped Swarthmore on rthe latter's diamond; the final score tead 18-3 in the Blue and Gold's favor. In a game in which the Hens made five errors, the Sho'men from Washington College eked out a 3-2 victory. Temple University came to Mewark and failed to get a bingle from the offerings of Bill Tibbitt. Mean- while Doc Doherty's boys gor three hits from which they fashioned one run for the margin of victory. Lynchburg played a return contest with the Hens and lost irs second game with the Delaware nine by the score of 6-1. Haverford fell before a twelve hit artack 51, The Blue and Gold then went into a slump which cost them three games. West Chester rripped the Hens twice, 54 and 6-5. Dickinson, although outhit ten to eight, bumped the Hens 7-5. Hampden-Sidney again conceded a win to Delaware, this time on Frazer Field. Captain Phil Reed pitched the Blue and Gold o a 5-0 shutour victory over the Tigers, allowing them only one hit Washington College scored a repeater over the Hens by a stinging 80 shutout. Lefty Copple of the Sho'men allowed the Hens only two hits. In the final game of Mer.

M. C. 7-0. The pitching staff was one of the strongest in recent years. Captain Phil Reed led the hurlers with four wins and no defeats. Bill Tibhirr and Jack Daly were ted for second place each one with three wins and a lone, defear. Hard-luck Bill Deaver won one and lost four. Amey Crowley led the hicting attack with a .313 average. He also led the stolen hases dcp;nfmqnt with a total of eleven. Freddy Mitchell was close behind with eight steals for the season. During the season the Hens' nine made ninety-four runs on one hundred forty-six hits for a won percentage of .688. The team batting average was .221.

Graduation had taken a heavy roll by removing the first two singles players and the first doubles combination. As a nucleus for Walt Mock, Steve Bartoshesky and Al Mock., The team was greatly bolstered by the addition of freshman Tom Jordan, Delaware State Junior Champion for 1938, Bad weather hindered the preparation of the courts, and also held up practice. The first match was sched- 5 uled with P. M. C. but it was rained out. Dickinson was encountered away from home and the march was begun.

In the Opener, Washington College came up from Chestertown and delivered a sound thumping to the Blue Hens. The Maroon seemed to be a wave too strong for Delaware to stem, the visitors returnine home on the long end of an 55 to 41 score. MNext, the team it'rl.Lrl'lell.fr.xl to Philadelphia to meer St. Joseph's College. This meet was a repitition of the Washington College episode; St. Joseph's piling up 80 points to 40 for Delaware. Playing host on Frazer Field for the next two meets, Delaware came through ro chalk up their first win of the year, topping Swarthmore 68 to 58. The Hens 144 immediately followed this win by losing their second home meet to La Salle Caollege, 75 to 51. Delaware's only place in the Middle Adantic Con- ference Meet was netted in the high-jump by Carleton Douglass, the Hen's big declathon man. Travelling to Drexel, the Blue Hens registered a decisive victory, completely outclassing the Dragons, and coming home with 79 points to Drexel's 47. To finish the season, the Blue and Gold travelled to Baltimore to participate in the Mason and Dixon Con- ference Meet. Competing against a large field, the Hens wound up in fourth place, being topped only by Catholic University, the meet winners, Johns Hopkins, and Washington College.

They defeated Boston College, Fordham, New Jersey State Teachers, and P. M. C. twice. They played stalemartes with Johns Hopkins, Dickinson, and Rider College, while their only defeat was suffered at the hands of Franklin and Marshall who always boast a very strong team. The team was capably coached by F. C. Houghton. Robert Morzan was the manager. The members of the ream were as follows: Caprain Jamison, S.

The riflermen were undefeated in five shoulder-to- shoulder matches and won seven our of thirteen postal matches. The shoulder-to-shoulder meets Were intro- duced at Delaware this year and proved to be highly gatistactory, P M. C., Drexel, and the Marksman's Club having been defeated. In postal marches the University's nimrods defeated colleges in its own class, namely, West Chester Teachers, Gettysburg, Penn State, Rutpers, Clatkson Tech, N. Y. U.. and U. of Cincinnati, bowing to the larger schools of U, C. L. A, TEAM Picesburgh, C. C. N. Y., Washington U. at $t. Louis, Maine, and Utah State. In recognition of the high season averages the Dela- ware Chapter of the Reserve Officers Association has made the following awards: Gold MedalU. Seth Fber- hardt; Silver MedalPhilip G.

Manager Lloyd . Shorter, 40, has been elected next vear's captain. 147 Me. JoserH SHIELDS Drivector of Intramural Athletics Pk This year, the third of the present intramural set-up, saw the entire program more definirely than ever a part of the athletic activities at Delaware. That the pro- gram steadfastly gained in popularity since its debut three short years ago is evidenced by the increase in the number of participants, by the added breadth and variety of events, and by the increased interest in these activities. The Student Council demonstrared its keen interest in the program by donating money for the purchase of certain athletic equipment, as well as the trophy which is the annual intrumural award presented to the senior accumulating the highest number of points during his stay in college. This year the trophy is a strikingly handsome silver figure of the Winged Victory, one of the most outstanding symbols in the field of sport. The winner of this yeat's trophy is T. J. Healy. SIX MAN TOUCH FOOTBALL Delaware joined the popular swing toward six-man touch football this year with a rotal of 180 men report- ing for play, thus making the game equal in popularity to softhall, and second only to basketball, long regarded as the Delawarean's Sport. The twelve teams that joined the competition were divided into three leagues ithe Red League, the Blue League, and the Fraternity League. The Dawn Patrol were champions of the Blue League, the Commuters of the Reds, and the Kappa Alphas emerged wearing the laurel of the Fraternity League. Unfortunately, bad weather pre- vented the playoffs of what is undoubtedly one of our most popular sports. 148 INTRAMURAL PROGRAM BASKETBALL As was expected, the turnout of 180 men, or 18 separate teams for basketball was the largest of any vear. In the fraternity league the Sigma Phi Epsilon house pounced off victoriously, and the Comets did the same for the Blue Leapue, while the Wilkins' Family showed proper family spirit by heading the delegation from the Gold League. In an exciting play- off, however, the Sig Eps proved too much for their opponents, and to them went the basketball crown. BADMINTON For a game so recent in its introduction to the Dela- ware campus, badminton is drawing more and more participants. This year Harold Maull's skill with the racquet dominated the playing. He defeated Richey, winner of the Gold League, for the singles champion- ship, and then paired with Garvin to repeat his triumph in doubles. TABLE TENNIS This is another of the games demanding infinite skill, patience, and accuracy which continues to be popular on the Intramural program. The wizardry of Jan Bove was oo much for all comers, and he reigned as 1939 king of the elusive white peller. MNeese and Cannon, a freshman-junior combination of skill and determina- tion, proved their complete mastery of the doubles field. ARCHERY Archery has continued to win enthusiastic support. A unique feature of this year's set-up consisted of the double elimination, by which a participant had to lose twice before being put out. The survivors of this year's competition were Maull, winner, and Witsel, a freshman, runner-up. SOFTBALL Ten teams, or a total of 80 men, made sofiball one of the most enthusiastically contested tournaments of the year. Of 41 games, each one a full-fledeed chriller , the Sigma Nus won the Blue League championship, and the Maple Leafs tied with the Dean's List for the crown of the Gold League. In a playoff in which every participant performed like a true veteran, the Sigma MNu outfit bore down and clinched the tourna- ment, VOLLEYBALL Volleyball, if played correctly, is one of the toughest games on the athletic program. This year the Aggies proved themselves invulnerable by repeating rtheir win of last year in a playoff with the Rangers TRACK This year the track tournament was won in a nip- and-tuck contest by rhe Sigma Phi Epsilons over the Rangers In fact, not until the last event, the 100- vard dash, was the winning ream decided. The Kappa Alphas were third. HORSESHOES Horseshoes was another addidon to the 1939 intru- mural sports program, and 61 men responded. In singles, a four-way tie between Anderson, Deaver, Barmo, LAWRENCE, SHIELDS Trader, and Parker was halted due to examinations. Anderson and Jamison tied with Davison and Wagner in doubles. There can be no doubt that intrumurals offer such a varied program of sports that every student, regard- less of ability, can participate to his own satisfaction, Last year 375 students participated in our program, this year there were 824! In each instance there were naturally some who entered more than one tournament of play.

It consists at the present time of five mems- bers, one each from Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Tau Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Theta Chi fraternities. For the past few vears it has been the custom for the presidents of the respecrive fraternities to act as repre- sentatives on the council. In this way it is found that much more can be accomplished since the president in most cases knows the will of his fraternity brothers. One of the most important functions of the council is to enforce the regulations of rushing so thar each fraternity may have an equal opportunity to obtain new members from the freshman class. One week each year is set aside as Rush Week . During this week the wvarious fraternities are permitted to sponsor smokers, house parties, and any other social functions which might serve to acquaint the freshmen with the members and the fraternity as a whole. Interfraternity competition is encouraged as much as possible. The fraternity having the highest scholar- ship rating during the vear is awarded a Scholarship Cup by the Interfraternity Council. There are also trophies awarded to the fraternity excelling in baseball, foothall, basketball, and other sports. The competition between fraternities is always keen, and a fine feeling of sportsmanship has been builc up. In June of 1939, the Interfraternity relay was renewed under the spon- sorship of the Alumni Association. This event rakes place on Alumni Home-Coming Day, which is generally in early spring. The first renewal of the relay was won by the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity. The Interfraternity council has also attempted to bring the fraternities together socially. To this end, the Interfraternity Week-end has been sponsored for the past two years. The program consists of the Inter- fraternity Formal, on Friday evening; a home football game berween Delaware and one of its opponents on Saturday afternoon; and House parties in each of the respective houses on Saturday evening. 153 ALFHA XI CHAPTER TETA CrH Founded 18s0 ORGANIZED 1911 FRATRES IN FACULTE C. 0.

Taking the advice of a forrunartely competent staff, he put together a volume intended to reveal student thought, rather than to profess literary excellence. Editor R. T. Wilson based his theory of student thought revealer on the following arguments: Ficrion is unimportant unless it has something to say. Moralizing or propaganda is significant if it is sincere. College should be a testing ground for ideas; there is no berter means of presenting these ideas than throuzh the printed page. It is not enough to be able to write well, the author also must know what he is talking about. A mediocre essay on the place of science in college life may rise o greatniess because it rings true; while a short story on the fall of the Romanoffs may sink to lower depths because it is all a fabrication. Personalities are important; not only the characters of the story but also the personality of the author behind the story. And so the Cauldron No. 2 met its fate ar the hands of a crirical student bady. Whether it was a successora failure was governed by the opinion formed by the ma- jority of its readers. In any case it paved or marred the way for the next issue to be published in the fall of 1939, It has grown during its first vear of life, this licde babe of babhle, Ultimartely it should become guite a manor woman. REVIEW Continued from page 103 notice: The Review is pleased to note that its anti- prohibition campaign has been successful on all frones. However, we must remind our readers once more that there is still a law on the books which makes it plenty tough for any minor caught imbibing from the chup that cheers. On January 8, 1939, Lawrence Willson, then an in- structor of English ar Delaware College, reviewed the first issue of the Cauldron, the literary merger of Pambo- Humanist advocared by Stutman and Kreshtool. Kreshrool's term of editorship concluded on March 10, 1939, He was succeeded by Arvid Roach, then a sophomore engineer, and Joseph Mendenhall, then a junior. Roach and Mendenhall were the first co-editors in the history of the Review. Roach was the first per- son ever to become editor while still a sophomore. In their third issue the new co-editors launched their campaign to clean up campus politics. The political activities of Paul Bruno, boss of the then powerful non- fratetnity machine, were exposed, and it was cited thar Bruno had betrayed his own faction by secrer agree- ments with the various fraternity factions., Ar the time of this expose the student sentiment was so high that the Review was able to publish almost en entire page of signed letters of protest. Beginning with the first issue of the 1939-40 rerm, the Review again used the headline New Enrollment 166 Shatters Record for the fifth consecutive year. In the same issue the Stutman-Blue Hen affair came to the fore. Srurman, who was editor of rhe Blue Hen, had delayed publishing the yearbook unril it was over a year late. The student body had repeatedly voiced its displeasure at the way the Blue Hen was being run. In an editorial entitled Where is the Blue Hen the co-editors wrote: The Review lays the blame for this wholly unnecessary delay on Harrey T. Stutman. In his usual pseudo-ultra- modern manner he has completely evaded his responsi- bilities. We advocare that the Council institute action leading to the removal of Stutman and to his replace- ment by some student with more administrative abilicy. Within a week rhe Council removed Stutman from office and appointed Martin Tannen as new editor. On Friday, October 6, the Review renewed the radio broadcast, newly entitled College Color. Using the theme song Delaware Forever , the program is pre- sented over WDEL every Friday evening at 7:45 o'clock. The script, as for the original Review broadcast, is written by John Swenehart. THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Continued from page 23 tion will come that acrually you have secured from Delaware College a great deal more than you put forth in a monetary sense. You will realize that a great part of the cost of your education was provided by the citizens of the state of Delaware. With the realization of these facts we believe that you will desire to see that these opportunities given to you will be made available to other young men. The Alumni Association has as its fundamental aim the fostering of the good of the university and the forwarding of the cause of higher education. Through the association you will be able to do your part to bring us closer o that goal. A collepe president recently pointed out that a college cannot get along withour its alumni and more that it can do with out students. All are a part of the never ending stream. Without the intelligent interest and the tolerant and well-reasoned suggestions of the alumni, a college would be struggling as in a vacuum. TENNIS Continued from page 143 strong Johns Hopkins outfit invaded the home courts and won 6-3. West Chester State Teachers then beat an erratic Delaware team 7-2. The first win of the year was carded against the sho'men from Washington College. Delaware won easily 6-3. Puzzled by the high wind and tricky back court, the Hens were beaten by Drexel 54 on the Drexel courts. A second victory was scored on the home courts against Western Maryland by the score of 6-3. In the second meeting with Wash- ington College the tables turned. Delaware lost 5-4. Ironically enough the racket wielders hit their scride in the last march of the season. P. M. C. was defeared 7-0. The record for the season actually was a poor one, bur considering such difhculties as the weather and lack of practice, the team had as good a year as could be expected. Delaware won three matches and lost five. ELECTRICAL NEEDS OF QUALITY G. E. APPLIANCES LIGHTING FIXTURES CONSTRUCTION WORK ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES GARRETT, MILLER a CO. N. E. COR. FOURTH 8 ORANGE STS.

The purpose of this Bureau is to assist seniors to obtain positions upon graduation. Unlike a great many other bureaus of this type there is no charge of any description to the students for services rendered. Since the founding of the Bureau, it has been under the capable and successful direcdon of Lieutenant- Colonel Donald M. Ashbridge Retired, formerly Pro- fessor of Military Science and Tactics at Delaware College. The fact that the same firms and companies return for men year after year testifies to the effective work performed by the Colonel as Director of the Bureau. The ever growing list of inwerested emplovers is additional evidence of the success with which the Bureau is operated. Colonel Ashbridge is ably assisted by Miss Louise Hutchison, a graduate of Women's College of Delaware, class of '35. The value of the Business Guidance Bureau to the praduating students of the University of Delaware might well be illustrated with a few figures of '39 gradu- ates who sought employment through the Bureau. OFf the 89 men who received Bachelor degrees from the University in 1939, 60 are known to have secured full- time employment. In addition twelve graduates, some of whom were offered employment, have decided to rake graduare work ar various instirutions. Of the re- maining seventeen there is no information concerning six, since they did not apply to the Business Guidance Bureau for assistance in obtaining employment. There- fore, of the sixty-eight men who applied to the Bureau and who graduared, fifcy-nine are known to have jobs. In addition ro the graduares of '39 who have been aided by rthe Business Guidance Bureau, guite a few undergraduates have been helped in securing summer jobs. Many companies have started the practice of employing engineering students in the summers pre- ceding their junior and senior years for preliminary training and experience. This nor only gives the students summer earning power, but improves their chance of securing jobs after graduation, either with these companies or with others desiring graduate en- gineers with some practical knowledge and experience. The record established by the Business Guidance Bureau during the past years is highly creditable and merits much commendation. Colonel Ashbridge has truly proved himself a friend in need rto the men of the University of Delaware. Joseph Mendenhall Aurvid Roach Co-editors C.

AT DELAWARE Continued from page 2z2 A recent report issued at the university discloses the usefulness and the widespread variety of the work done by the students here. To illustrate: all of the labora- rories of the School of Agriculture have been renovated, remodeled, and developed, and the greenhouses, head- houses, and cellars cleaned up and improved. In the same department, charts of ege producdon have been carefully kept. In some cases students have served as laboratory assistants. Numerous other departments have utilized the N. Y. A, students. The are department, the military depart- ment, and the mathematics department, each have been able to develop additional phases of their work in this way. The newly formed University Dramatic Center has employed students all year preparing bulletins, sending out questionnaires and announcements, making card caralogues and lists, meeting requests for plays, building scenery and caring for materials and equipment, mak- ing sets of scenery, and giving advice and assistance to stage crews both within and from outside the university. Another group has had some experience in the care of trees and shrubbery. Some dead trees have heen taken out, others moved to new locations, and a large number of trees have been fed. The University Memorial Library has kept several students busy binding, pasting, and caraloging books. In all, 176 students received aid from the N. Y. A, during the college year, 1938-'39 and ver succeeded in maintaining their scholastic standing. One of the rules concerning N. Y. A. work is that a studenr must main- tain a satisfactory scholastic record in order to engage in its program. Under this program, earnings per student in institu- tions of collegiate standing may not exceed in average of $15 per month. The maximum which may paid to an undergraduate student in any one month is twenty dollars. The acrual amount which individual students may earn, within the maximums specified above, as well as the hourly rates of pay, are determined by the college and university authorities. The Natdonal Youth Administration does nor pro- vide funds for scholarships or loans. Employment under the College and Graduate Aid Program may be provided only to students of good character whe need such employment in order to enter or remain in school. The need of students is derer- mined by the college and university authorities, in con- sultarion with outside agencies if necessary. Students must have reached their sixteenth birthday bur are ineligible after attaining their twenty-fifth birthday. Students must carry a scholastic program equivalent o at least three-fourths of the normal full-time program in the college attended and must give assurance of pet- forming good scholastic work while receiving aid. 176 Graduate students must have completed the reguire- ments for a standard Bachelor's degree. College and graduate aid is not extended to studenrs attending summer schoal. THE DEBATING SOCIETY Continued from page 114 Swarthmore College, against Villanova College, and against the Rice Forum of Philadelphia. From the platform Delaware has more than held her own against Haverford, Rutgers, Vermont, Penn State Coeds, Washington College, Swarthmore, Goldey Busi- ness College, Western Maryland, The University of Richmond, Dickinson, The University of California at Los Angeles, Villanova, and Drexel Institure. In most instances the system used was the Oregon or court room plan of debate. This method provides for each of the constructive speakers to be cross- examined by an opponent. The questioning sustains the life of the debate, allows the individual extempor- aneous expression of thought, and provides stimulation of interest for the audience. The debaters have amgued ropics in diversified fields. A few of them were: curtailment of Supreme Courr powers, installment buying, the electoral college, com- pulsory military training, government ownership of public utilities, and private education versus public education. The Debating Society has earned respect for the University of Delaware in debarting circles. Men who have participated in debates have profited scholastic- ally from their reading and research, and have garnered as well invaluable experience in speaking. INDEPENDENT MEN'S ASSOCIATION Continued from page 115 The program of the group, like that of the fraterni- ties, is concerned chiefly with providing Delaware's chief form of social funcriondances. It indulged in dramaric competition with the fraternities. With this year's revival of the Inter-Fraternity Relay it is hoped that in future yvears the L. M. A. will also compete in this colorfull event. The chief characteristics of the group are two: first, the total absence of any dues and the low price range of all dances; second, the appointive system by which the retiting President selects his own successor in office. The efficiency and satisfacrion of these features is indi- cated by the increased growth of the group. The I. M. A. exists at Delaware because of the obvious need for it, Officers for 193839 were: George W, Baker, presi- dent; Fred Myers, vice-president; Wilson F, Humphreys, treasurer; William Niven, secretary, Officers for 193940 are: Wilson F. Humphreys, president; Harold Maul, vice-president; Jan Bove, treasurer; Carlston Joseph, secretary; W. M. Richard- son, social chairman. L e B s i e A i P S e T R P s Ly, i s SRl oL b - 2 .. ..
