UMASS AMHERST 312066 0339 0616 8 THE INDEX 1931 PUBLISHED ANNUALLY BY THE JUNIOR CLASS OF THE MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE I AMHERST, MASSACHUSETTS 1930 Jforetoorb TT ' OR fifty-nine years an unbroken line of - - Indexes has portrayed the yearly life of M. A. C. They have expressed student opinion, pictured student activities, and recorded administrative changes. This is volume sixty, and is commemorative of the passing of six decades of college history. It is intended to summarize the preceeding volumes and to show the birth and evolu- tion of our present institutions. It has, in short, the same motif as the first thin pamphlet issued by the pioneer class of 1871 — to represent the internal growth and status of the college.

Yet one of the busiest men on this campus is the administrator of academic activities, committee man, advisor, author, editor and teacher, Frank Prentice Rand. When his name is mentioned among the students they think of the inspirational, the sensitive criticism given to their pubHcations; they think especially of the successful pro- ducer of the college plays. Students do not know, but members of the faculty recollect the lowly state to which our public offerings, particularly dramatic per- formances, had come before Mr. Rand took full charge of them in 1920. This college now has public presentations of a high class because of Mr. Rand ' s advice and direction. For his interest and success every one connected with the college must be grateful. If one were to mention the name Frank Prentice Rand in the hearing of a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, that member would say enthusias- tically Why, that ' s the Editor of our fraternity magazine. It is a difficult trick to edit a fraternity magazine that anyone will care to read, but Mr. Rand actually does it. The Inkhorne that caused so much surprise because no one except the English faculty knew that such talent could be found among our students, owed its inception and the careful selection of its contents to Mr. Rand. Mr. Rand is best known as the author of Garlingtown, a collection of verses dealing with life in a rural New England community. Here is sympathetic inter- pretation of the problems of everyday life. A fair estimate would be that the poems portray these people and scenes just as they are in verse of true poetic form and quality. Who that has read it can fail to enjoy Criteria a farmer ' s judg- ment of his hired man. David Grayson said of Mr. Rand ' s Dr. Ben of Butter Hill We can feel in these verses the courage, the loyalties, the beauty, — the wistful beauty of New England country life. Mr. Rand ' s plays too must not be omitted; especially John Epps, an understanding treatment of the beginnings of the college under President Clark; and the beautiful play in verse dealing with the life of that mirror of chivalry, Sir Philip Sidney. Mr. Rand loves the country of Shakespeare and the English Lakes which he has so often visited. Traveling is an inspiration to his teaching. It may be understood that the English Department feels especial pride that it has, to conduct its course in Contemporary Poetry, one of the younger American poets. Is it necessary to say of such a man that his interest in the student is genuine and that his time belongs to the student? This interest is enduring. Few men on the campus retain as sincere an interest in our alumni. Mr. Rand ' s heart is given to the college. It is pleasant to know that the students recognize the value of such a force as this, so actively exerted, in the life of the institution. CHARLES W. PATTERSON IS 31 liable of Contents!

A. C. and congratulates them on the splendid heritage into which they have come. To few men is granted the privilege en- joyed by the living men of ' 71 to have been part of, and watched over, as brothers, the growth of the now great family, each member of which has enjoyed the nurture of four years under the Maroon and White. The twenty-eight men, who fifty-nine years ago received their diplomas from the hand of President W. S. Clark, learned the topography of Amherst and the Connecticut Valley largely on foot and not by the automobile; nor could they listen in to King George before breakfast as we did this morning; but they did have a personal intimacy with Clark, Stockbridge, Goodell, and Goessman under circumstances hardly possible to the student of today. Result: a loyal band that, though dwindled from twenty-eight to seven, plus a few loyal non-graduates, hopes to be with you at Amherst in June to celebrate their six- teenth reunion on their fifty-ninth anniversary. In these days when the value of college training is so often challenged let us remember that four years spent in studious effort under guidance of men of the type of our best teachers makes for a life comradeship and an inspiration to a life of useful service found nowhere else. Long live the high standards and ideals of M. A. C. E. E. THOMPSON, For the Class of ' 71. la 31 18 Gideon H. Allen Andrew L. Bassett William P. Birnie William H. Bowker Lilley B. Caswell Homer L.

HE honor of conceiving the idea of a college for the scientific investigation of agricul- tural problems belongs to M.l ' Abbe Rosier, who broached it to the ministry of Louis XVI in 1775. But his plan, like many another great idea, was coldly received by the government and the world at large. More than sixty years later (1837) far sighted Americans began to see the need of such an institution and in 1849, thru the eflforts of Marshal P. Wilder, a bill for the founding of an agricultural school passed the Massa- chusetts Senate. It was defeated in the House of Representatives by men who could see no need for book farmers. The agitation, however aroused national interest, and in 1858, Senator Morrill of Vermont, then a representative, presented a bill for the founding of state agricultural colleges. President Buchanan vetoed the bill, and the honor of approval was reserved for Abraham Lincoln in 1862. The total grant under the Morrill Act amounted to over nine million acres of land — the share of Massachusetts being some 360,000 acres, which when sold, brought about $236,000. In the acceptance of this grant in 1863, Massachusetts became the proprietor and patron of the college, and bound herself to provide for, and maintain it forever. Once the money was available for the college, a great controversy started as to its location. Most of the existing colleges wanted to take the funds and add agricultural courses to their curricula. Harvard in particular expected to get it. Amherst and WiUiams also had hopes. As the national endowment required a department of mechani- cal arts, three tenths of the income was given to the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. A board of Trustees was appointed, and, after studying the existing colleges, decided that, in as much as collegiate instruction in agriculture was a new field in Ameri- can Education, Massachusetts should have an independent Agricultural College which should work out its own destiny. Four towns competed for the location of this college: Northampton, Springfield, Lexington and Amherst. Each raised the $75,000 required by the State, and the trustees chose Amherst because of the surpassing beauty of its natural scenery, and because the Connecticut valley was the foremost section in rural pursuits. The Hon. Henry Flagg French was elected the first president in 1864, but resigned soon after when he felt that his wishes had not been consulted in the controversy over the building of North and South Colleges. He was succeeded in 1866 by Professor Paul Ansel Chadbourne, whose health forced him to resign in 1867. William S. Clark then became president, and M. A. C. had the unusual distinction of having had three presidents before it had any students. Commumcatioit Jfrom tfje Clasisi of 1881 THE College was at its nadir in 1881. No less than five men — Clark, Flint, Stoekbridge, Chadbourne and Greenough — served as presidents during five years 1879-1883. The faculty could be numbered on the fingers of one ' s hands, the student body, on the fingers of eight pairs of hands. The State gave it a mere $10,000 a year, the Federal Government nothing. Governor Thomas Talbot tried to close its doors or, as an alternative, to turn it over to Amherst College — anything to get rid of it. Its constituency, the farmers, scoffed at book farming and there were none so poor as to do it reverence. The stork was just about to bring the newly born Experiment Station. The very word extension, as applied to agriculture, had not been coined. The physical plant included two dormitories; a barn-like wooden structure in which was a bleak room used for miscellaneous purposes, including compulsory chapel exercises, as well as mathe- matics and chemistry classrooms and laboratores, gymnasium, drill-hall and armory — a veritable blunderbus of a building; an uninviting hash house; barns; a botanic museum; and greenhouses. The farmlands were still in part untamed. The writer grabbed many alder roots with his classmates, doing unpaid student labor of an educational character. However, the instructional staff was a good one and, with limited resources, it wrought out of somewhat unpromising material a product of which Alma Mater need not be ashamed. At least one great captain of industry, three or more uni- versity and college presidents, four or more experiment station directors and deans of agriculture and kindred subjects are numbered among the graduates of that day. Eighty-one salutes thirty-one and bids it Godspeed! J. L. Hills, Sec, Class ' 81 3n tfte Baps! of ' 8l==l ©uegtionnaire Q. Was the Gymnasium Association organized merely for gymnastic activi- ties (Indian clubs, flying rings, parallel bars, etc.) or was it also intended to pro- mote indoor track and field athletics? A. Only for the first mentioned, and you might leave off the etc. as we only had a trapeze, horizontal bar, and a few pulley tots. Four of us as freshmen used the gym between 11 and 12 p. m. by candle light. This was the only chance we had at the place. Q. Did the Gymnasium Association have anything to do with outdoor track and field athletics? A. Yes, in baseball, and later football, which were the only sports. Little later tennis came in, and we had a few walking matches. Q. Two Field Days were held, in ' 75 and ' 76; did the Gymnasium asso- ciation have any thing to do with these events? A. Before my time — I entered in ' 77. Q. How was money raised for a track team or general track athletics? A. By using a club with students in general, but this was only for uniforms as at that time there was no such thing as gate money. Q. Where can I obtain records of expenditures for track and field athletics during the early years of the college? A. I doubt very much whether any records were kept for future supervision. Q. Where was the Hampshire Park where the first Field Days were held? A. I went there a number of times, but my mind is hazy just where it was, somewhere southeast from Amherst. Q. What was the attitude of the students toward track and field athletcis while you were at college? A. I would say 75% of the students were fond of some kind of sport. We used to walk to the Conn, river to swim, and in winter to play Hockey. I remem- ber at one time at least 20 of us, swimming across the river, and then having a race back again. To show how easy it was to raise money, the rifle team had to steal lead pipe and such, melt it down for bullets with which to use in matches with other teams, and we had one man that made as high as four bulls ' eyes out of five at 100 yds. shooting at a 4 bull ' s eye — when the regulation was 8 for 100 and 200 yds. We shot at the 4 for sometime both at 100 and 200 yds. before we discovered our error, and made bulls ' eyes at 200 yds. with old rifles pulling at 14 lbs. instead of 7 lbs. A visit of the team to the Springfield aresenal corrected this. F. H. FAIRFIELD, ' 81. la 31 A DMINISTRATION Jfacultp George W. Alderman, A.B., Assistant Professor of Physics Born 1898.

The legislature was opposed on the grounds that first, it would not receive any students; second, if it did receive any they would be infants; third, if they did, have any and they were not infants, they would be boys who had never seen a cow, but had always drunk pump milk. a regular white-livered set of boys sent out into the country for their health. The people as a whole were skeptical of the advantage of book learning for farmers. Only a few of the educational leaders of the age realized the possibilities of the college, and had hopes for its future. Fortunately for the college, four of these leaders were its faculty, — the Big Four — President William S. Clark, Hon. Levi Stockbridge, Professor Charles A. Goessmann, and Professor Henry H. Goodell. These men had vision, and faith to work for it. They were the greatest men the faculty ever had, and with the whole world watching the experiment, proved that an agricultural college could be of immense importance to civilization. The college opened its doors in October 2, 1867, and the first students presented themselves for the entrance examinations. Every thing was crude and unfinished. Four buildings were ready for use: South College, a boarding house north of the ravine, a chemical laboratory, and a botanic museum on the east side of the campus. The college farm was composed of six estates, and was intersected with old Virginia rail fences, hedge rows, and old apple trees. In spite of these difficulties the enrolment in- creased, and by December 17, totaled forty-seven, none of them white-livered. These pioneers of the Class of 1871 became imbued with the enthusiasm and optimism of the faculty, and faced the ridicule of the world in general and the classical student on the hill in particular. They divided into squads and went to work grubbing out apple trees, digging drains, husking corn and levelling the land, while Professor Stockbridge, his pants tucked into his boots, superintended the work. Amherst College cooperated and gave valuable assistance to the new institution. Many of its faculty came down and gave lecture courses, the museum and library were open to M. A. C. students, and for the first two terms the newcomers marched, two by two, up to the Old Amherst College Chapel for their Sunday religious worship. President Clark was keenly aware of the need of attracting visitors and of keeping the embryo college before the eyes of the public. To accomplish this agricultural socie- ties were invited to hold conventions on the campus, various new machines were tested, and important experiments were conducted. Professor Goessmann worked on the sugar beet and the value of commercial fertilizers, and President Clark studied the flow of sap, and the expansive force of growing vegetable tissues. This latter experiment obtained more newspaper publicity than the others because of its uniqueness. A young squash was harnessed to a lever and as it grew lifted the weights attached to the other end. By the end of the summer, the forty-seven and a quarter pound squash had lifted more than two and one half tons of iron! By 1876 the new college was so firmly established and had such a world wide reputa- tion that the imperial government of Japan determined to use it as a model for their college, and asked President Clark to help them. In nine years, thru the efforts of a few inspired leaders and an enthusiastic student body, an experiment in education had become the greatest college of its kind in the world. jfrom tlje Cla s; of 1891 npHE old timer of the class of ' 91, looking back over forty years sees a vastly - ' - different college than the present Aggie. Trees which we set out now shade the walks, and the pond which we dammed now reflects the setting sun. Gone is the old Chem Building, the compulsory labor and the North College piazza. Yet ' 91 advocated, in its college days, many of the things that ' 31 now has. We started the first college newspaper in our Junior year, the Aggie Life. It has persisted, and stands as one of the greatest college accomplishments. We also advocated the building of dormitories for women so that M. A. C. could be co- educational and tried to get a cut and an elective system put into effect. All these the present students enjoy, — thanks to our efforts as we like to believe. In those days almost everyone lived in the dorms, and we had only three fraternities; D.G.K., Q.T.V., and Phi Sig. We ate together in boarding clubs for about $2.50 per week. Everyone knew everyone else and we all played either class or varsity Baseball, Football or Tennis, these being the only sports. We also had our midnight escapades, and they still linger in our minds, particularly our protest against chapel. We took the benches out and put them on the lawn, stole the desk, and substituted an encyclopedia for the Bible. Yes, the days were different, but ' 91 got a good education and enjoyed every minute of its Aggie Life.

Our class was the first to enjoy the abolition of the pond parties and at first impulse give the Sophs a quick, but thorough splashing. Our Freshman class was the first in 20 years to defeat the superiors in the night shirt parade. To most of us the memory of the burning of the Frosh caps will be most dear. We were also the last Freshman class to be greeted by Prexy Lewis. Sophomore year found us afflicted with the whys and wherefores of Zoology, Physics and such. But though buried deep in studies, we found time to drag the Frosh through the muck and mire and send some of our own men into Varsity teams. We started one of the biggest social functi ons of the year: The Mardi Gras. Thus passed the second year, — for most of us a year of adjustment. As upperclassmen we had to delve deeply into our various majors. Each one began to take care of his individual work. 1930 has not shirked in its output of students, athletes, or social leaders. In this year the latter carried over a glorious prom without the loss of one precious shekel. It was in this year that there came the first tragedy of our class; the sudden death of one of our leaders and students: John B. Howard, Jr. Our Senior year truly was the climax of all the preceding years. The year had barely started when one of our fondest dreams came true. The Physical Education Campaign was a success and classes after us can enjoy the comforts of the new structure. Victories were a common occurrence to our football team, and the basketball team of the 1930 season will always be one sweet memory. Our famous Freshman team had not weakened during the intervening years and came out strong and victorious in the winter of 1930 with Freddie Ellert as a floor coach. Thus time has overtaken us and our four years of college have come to a close. Though without apparent success we have made earnest endeavors to change the name of the college, nevertheless we hope to give back to it as much as it has given us. Massachusetts, we are here.

New Arrival — Yes, Pete, Fate has been very kind to me. S. P. — I understand, but pray what are your reasons for claiming kinship with the elect? N. A. — Sir, I have always closely adhered to the teachings of my Sunday School Teacher, I attended Mass. State, and lastly, I belonged to the Class of 1931! S. P. (musing) — The Class of 1931 at old Bay State! My dear man, your last reason is good enough to get you anywhere. Tell me about that wonderful class of yours. N. A. — We claim distinction, Pete, not only as the 60th class to enter Massa- chusetts but also as a class of unusual prowess. Back in the fall of ' 27, when we first made our appearance in Amherst, the Dean early recognized our worth and implored us to stay. Some of us disappointed him by leaving a little early, but fortunately, they were few in number. Our first year was filled with interclass triumphs of which the football and hockey games, and Razoo Night are outstanding. Our sophomore year was colored by victories in both the 60 Man and 6 Man Rope Pull, and a tie in the football game. The Old Clothes Party and Mardi Gras were successes not to be ignored, while the crowning accomplishment was the way in which my classmates supported the Physical Ed. Building Fund. As Juniors, we made a name for ourselves in varsity athletics and academic activities. This year found everyone conscientiously pursuing his major courses. S.

Ding is our genial class president and an expert waiter, altho he never brushes his hair (he says he combs it). A list of all the blame and worry he has shouldered for 31 would fill this page and besides Ding is too modest to want them mentioned. Ding has a hard job preserving the dignity of a Senate member but his Senate hat does come in handy on rainy days. mutf) Clijafactf) g)£ott North Hadley Hopkins Academy 1911; Education; Class Vice-President (3); Women ' s Student Council, Secretary (3); Y.

We may be thankful that Scottie does not always chatter as fast as she did in Craig ' s Wife, not because she wouldn ' t talk sense, bu t because we would be too lazy to keep up with her. Even tho she does get high marks she has not the bulging brow and weak eyes of the true student — she always looks fresh and wholesome. We like to remember her as leading the Glee Club or making us laugh at one of her well known impersonations. tlijelma Selene jfrielirici) Florence Northampton High School 1908; Home Economics; Class Secretary (2, 3); Y.

Paul is one of these thorough people with an unaccountable appetite for tough courses. However, this tendency toward things scholarly does not exclude him from innumerable class offices or extra-curricula activities, nor do they in turn exclude him from the Honor Group. Paradoxical as it may seem, he is both a Dairy Major and a member of the Agitation Committee.

Norm is that intangible thing class spirit personified. He is always willing and eager to keep things going and if things are not lively enough he starts something new. For constant cheerfulness, he can ' t be beaten and if all else fails he can make a living by posing for Pepsodent ads.

But we ' re game! We ' ve won our way through a memorable freshman year — a year that will live in our memory — and we are well on our way to conquering the second year — and the freshman! We won the pond rope pull, razoo night, the football and hockey games, staged a brilliant Mardi Gras, and innovated a suc- cessful Soph-Freshman social. (Note: — Keep this under your hat! We lost the six-man rope pull, the nightshirt parade and the basketball game.) The campus. ' Lord, how we love it! Else why, oh why did we return to those nightmares of hogs in the corn belt or those ghostly moments when we first faced our grinning classmates in public speaking. In all seriousness, though — we really think that we are a very good class. As for the other classes — they have our loyal backing. And Bay State! We love it! Need we say more? HAZEL B.

Miner, Jr. jFresJjjman Clas;s( l isitorp TN September of this previous fall, a strange, yet not unusual, band of converts appeared on campus. These followers of Athena at first believed themselves to be sateUtes of the goddess of knowledge, but after a few experiences in the Goessman Auditorium of no longer than three hours duration, they became firmly convinced that they had followed Orpheus into the land of Pluto. However, as fearless as the class of ' 33 will always prove itself, they decided to fight their way back to earth with spears poised against the temptations of the inhabitants of the underworld, the Sophomores. The 60-man rope pull proved to be one of the first set backs, although we suc- ceeded in keeping ourselves from becoming all wet . However, after a little more struggle against the evils of Hades, we succeeded in reciprocating by winning the six-man rope pull. Razoo Night resulted in another proof of victory over evil. Although it first appeared as though we had weakened, when we lost the wrestling and boxing matches, yet we rallied once again in the night shirt parade. The loss of the Football game only strengthened our toilers to defeat their would-be masters in both inter-mural games, basketball and hockey. To date, we have arrived at the opposite side of the Styx and await only a few more tests of valor to have Charon return to earth where they may again strive for recognition in the eyes of Athena.

Groton Dorchester - 1 la 31 1 m i mi 112 Organizations G .fTrud«: Efje pirtfj of tbe tate CoUege JHobement XX 71X11 the year 1879, hard times and dark days came to the college. For several ' years its current expenses had considerably exceeded its income, and it had incur- red a debt which grew larger and larger each year. On April 24th, the Legislature passed an act granting thirty-two thousand dollars to the college to pay existing debts, and at the same time made the trustees personally responsible for any debt thereafter incurred in excess of the income. Professor Stockbridge helped the college with personal loans and with endorsements of its notes, and Charles L. Flint, who was elected president, served without pay and made many gifts, particularly to the library. Thru the work of these two men, and the rest of the faculty, the trying situation was passed, and the college regained financial security. During this troublesome era, — perhaps because of it — the students began to offer criticism and suggestions concerning the management of the college. It is worthy of note that here, in the first student criticism, was the birth of the movement which has evolved into the present demand for a State College. At this time the Index was the only medium thru which student opinion could obtain publicity, and every issue had a series of editorials. It is by reading these that one gets the best perspective of the student mind, and of the development of many of our present day institutions. From the start the students wanted more liberal courses. Originally special emphasis was laid only upon Agriculture, Horticulture, Veterinary Medicine, Chemistry, Civil Engineering and Military, but these were deemed too vocational to stand alone. The following quotation from the ' 80 Index shows the student thought on the matter. The editon? would here express their regret that no more time is devoted to the study of the mental sciences. We most cordially indorse the words of the Professor of these sciences, that the supreme object of the Agricultural College is to ' make farmers, men ' in every sense of the word. By 1881 the faculty, who were products of a classical edu- cation and hence in sympathy with student requests for cultural courses, had added the following subjects to the original curriculum; Physics; Mental, Moral and Social Science Modern Languages, and Bookkeeping. As time passed more demands for liberality were made. A cut system was requested and also some elective courses. An alumni letter urged an increase in the study of Art, Music, Political Science, English, and Modern Languages and everyone worked for an educational as well as a vocational college. Another student worry was the smallness of the classes. Lack of advertising was thought to be the cause of this, and for many years demands were made for more publicity. One of the best, and most naive of these appeared in the ' 81 book. The small entering class ( ' 83, with fourteen members) is due to the lack of information in regard to the college. We earnestly hope that the President will take means of keeping the institution before the public so that young men may know where to get a liberal scientific education, and so that any of our friends who are about to die may be reminded to leave us a modest bequest. In time, the students began to realize that more than advertising was needed to overcome the state-wide ignorance as to the nature of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. At the same time the increasing demand for liberal courses was leading to the general questioning as to the real purpose of the college. These two forces led to the same answer, a STATE COLLEGE. The students realized that publicity would never sincreae the enrolment as long as the word Agricultural obscured the real opportuni- ties the college offered. They also decided, after careful investigation of the past and present, that when the name M. A. C. was given, a mistake was made; and further- more they would add that public opinion never supplied, and never would supply enough encouragement to justify the continuance of a strictly agricultural college. The above quotation did not appear until 1890, but even as early as 1884 the idea of a change in name was popular. In that year, the ' 85 Index appeared Published by the Junior Class of the Massachusetts State College. Every reference throughout was to M. S. C, and in a report of the progress of the college, it expressed the following opin- ion: The original purpose of the college was to teach those branches which relate to the agricultural and mechanic arts. But the idea has expanded, and now the curriculum is one of the most liberal. So that, altho a man may be a farmer or a mechanic, he shall stand on the same basis with the professional man as regard intellectual training. n m jaotesi Jfrom tfte Clasig of 1901 IN so far as we know at the present writing the ranks of the Class of 1901 as graduated nearly thirty years ago contains but one vacant place. Ralph I. Smith is the member who has completed his work and journeyed on. The members of the class are following very varied occupations and are scat- tered from the Atlantic to the Pacific and as far south as South America. Among our numbers we can boast of experts in Agricultural vocations, professors, engi- neers, professional men, leaders in the business world and some who have attained heights in political circles. While in College the Class of 1901 was defeated a few times in athletic events but it was never licked. Each individual member has carried this spirit out into the world with him and without exception each one has made good in his chosen line. At our twenty-fifth anniversary over sixty percent of the fellows were back and we had a reunion long to be remembered. At each reunion a larger per- centage return and the thirtieth year of our graduation promises to be the best ever. Our four years in college were history making years for during that time we held Amherst to a tie score in football one fall and the next year handed them a defeat. During that time also there was much discussion re lative to changing the name of the College and the Class of 1901 was severely censured for inscribing the letters M. S. C. in a certain conspicuous place. We were obliged to remove the S. at considerable expense to our lean treasury. We are all pulling for our Alma Mater and are much gratified to see it growing and taking the important place it should with the other Massachusetts institu- tions of learning. J. H. Chickering, Sec, Class 1901 113 ' ' ' mt warn meep sm imai) Sou  f)o Hit gleep THE war exerted little influence on the enrollment at M. A. C. until January, 1918. At that time some thirty-five undergraduates left college to become members of the Third Officers ' Training Cani]) which was also attended by about the same number of alumni. Most of these men were sent directly overseas upon the completion of their three month ' s course and received their commissions after having seen actual fighting. During the Spring term of 1918 men were contin- ually leaving college to join some branch of the service. Then two weeks after college closed on the 18th of May, the Fourth Officers ' Training Camp began at Devens. We were represented there by more than twenty men, mostly from the classes of 1918 and 1919. Every college or university feels that its war record is the best in the land, but it may be fairly challenged whether any college in the country has, on the whole, a better record than the Massachusetts Agricultural College, — a total of 1,304 students, former students, and faculty in the war service; 440 Commis- sioned officers; 454 overseas; and 51 deaths. — Massachusetts men have the rep- utation of being hard fighters and our men upheld their reputation in battle for M. A. C. men participated in every major action on the Western Front. Many received citations for bravery in battle and some have received two war crosses. Because these men went into the war with such zeal and fought so desperately, it was preordained that a large number would have to pay the supreme sacrifice. It is but fitting and proper that some memorial should be erected to com- memorate our honored dead. The Memorial Building is our best effort, pos- sessing as it does both virtues of being a monument to our heroes and at the same time useful to the living generation. The world must advance; but in the onward development we should find time to honor those who have sacrificed themselves in the process of world progress. 114 |2 a 1 1:. r.

Bonney Q 31 RGANIZATIONS 142 Senate ftisitorp A AVAR RANT was handed to Joe Frosli by the sophomore sergeant-at-arnis as he was bhthely hopping nines under tlie close supervision of several of his superiors. Promptly at 7.30 P. M. Joe was at the M Building wearing his oldest clothes for although he had been told that pond-parties and paddling were extinct he was taking no chances. Two hours later (time is merely relative) it was 8.00 and no Senate Members had appeared. About half a day later they began to straggle in and the case of Joe Frosh was called. It does not matter what the punishment of Joe Frosh was but one may be sure that, if he had any intelligence at all, he left the Chamber with a respect for the power and the ability of the Senate. What he did not realize was that the prestige of the Senate was based upon thirty years of more or less wise rulings and meting out of punishment. We find that in 94 ' s Index a small editorial appears which inquires petu- lantly, Why can not we have a Senate at M. A. C? We can surmise that their desire was keen for they were even willing to let a member of the Faculty be the president of the Senate. Other than this nothing more is heard about the Senate until October 4, 1899. Then in a column on Aggie Life conducted by the Idler, we find the following paragraph concerning the Senate and the esteem in which it was to be held. This institution will continue to be the ruling power, more to l)e feared than the secret Senate of Venice, more to be respected than the venerable Senate of the Roman people. The ' Idler ' extends caution to those who would tamper with the chained dog. Then again we have a few years of silence until ' 02 makes the first mention of a Senate in an Index. The Senate then consisted of eight members and its president was C. E. Gordon ' 01, the present Head of the Department of Science. Two years ago the Senate was given very comprehensive powers by popular vote of the assemblied student body. These new powers allow the Senate to place offenders on probation and to prohibit their participation in any extra-curricular activities. It is to the credit of the present Senate that they have not openly flaunted their powers to show the power of their position but have used their new weapons judiciously. The present Senate consists of seven Seniors and four Juniors elected yearly by the student body. These men bear the responsibility of maintaining college traditions and customs and also referee all Freshman and Sophomore contests. 1£ 31 i 1 m-- i INDEX S ' v ?i Hj H ■ [ftl i ' 4 TlTff ir M H lu K fl Kflilj ji l t i l Pl v 1 HU|Mf{%a IHP LlflH H H l k ' PI hI liMi belpfjia idlcmfacrs! in tJje JfacuUp Harold M.

Yet of course, since you are also open minded and tolerant, you will permit us to say our little piece before you reach your final conclusions. Contrary to the usual custom, Adelphia had only one grand-parent, Theta Nu Epsilon. For many years a sub rosa chapter of T N E existed at M. A. C. It prospered mightily and as it grew older it threw off the mantle of secrecy and openly pro- claimed itself as the Eta Eta chapter of Theta Nu Epsilon, and initiated many new members including some of the Faculty. Not for long was it to display its newly acquired position, for the national chapter was soon to be condemned by the National Interfraternity Conference for taking too active and too under- handed a part in college politics as well as for other nefarious practices. Our local chapter, although perfectly innocent, shared the stigma of the national society and because of Faculty opposition was forced to disband. However the very next year — 1913 — two Senior honorary societies appeared on campus. One was Thecedes which was composed of most of the former members of T. N. E. The other was Karatid, among whose members was Harold M. (Kid) Gore who can testify that the society never had to be reprimanded. Their main aims were recognition of leadership and the advancement of M. A. C. in all branches of college life and work. Two honor societies proved too much for one small college so in 1915 the present honorary society Adelphia was formed by a merger of Thecedes and Kar- atid. Its aims are to promote the highest type of friendship and to aid in the betterment of our college. Membership is an honor for it carries with it a high measure of responsibility and it is to Adelphia that we owe many of the improve- ments in student relations. Adelphia holds several Open Forums each year where it presents such topics as it believes need consideration. The students have the privilege of stating their views, but the few who do speak seem to think that they have spoken suc- cessufuUy if people laugh at their attempted humor. In spite of the lack of re- sponse from the Student Body, Adelphia has accomplished several things in the past year. The agitation for changing the name of the college was launched on a successful campaign; the student body was taxed to provide warm winter wear for the Band; library hours on Sunday were changed from morning to afternoon; action has been taken concerning the constant stealing of books from the library; and, a lot of talk was expended on the subject of a college mascot, but as yet nothing has been done about this problem. 19 31 145 OTomen ' g tubent (§obernment s gociation Established March, 1919 President Vice President Secretary Beryl F.

The council was formed only when the Senate found itself incapable of legis- lating wisely for the co-eds, although the truth of the matter is that the co-eds discovered it first. Not only was the Senate unable to legislate for the Women Students, but it was also unable to punish women for infractions of the rules as their sole method of enforcing laws was through pond parties, and the co-eds objected to a public bath. (Only a woman can rule a woman effectively anyway. And who but a woman can elect the Custodian of China and decide whether or not three dates a week are enough, or too many?) The W. S. G. A. has instuted the rites and customs to be observed by all co-eds, but it is not to blame for the weird color combinations to be seen adorning lower appendages of the freshmen girls. The Sophomores see to that. At present the W. S. G. A. stands equal in importance with the Senate, and election to it requires the same judgment, leadership and ability, as does mem- bership in the latter body, and with the increasing number of co-eds, it becomes more important in student life each year. f)e onor Council ' HpHE old empirical statement ( Whitey ' s bugbear) that There is nothing - - new except what is forgotten, seems to hold true whenever attempts are made to discuss the history of anything at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. A few years ago the Class of ' 21 was given the credit of introducing the Honor System in its Freshman year. Now here is where the chroniclers of the recorded facts made their mistake. The Class of ' 21 did not introduce the Honor System at M. A. C, they reintroduced it. In so far as we were able to discover the system was introduced by the Class of ' 99 with a constitution very similar to the consti- tution now in use. How and why the Honor System fell into disuse we do not know but we surmise that it was forgotten during the AVorld War. Great credit should be given to ' 21 for their persistent effort in running the Honor System as many attempts were made to discourage them and it was due to the protracted efforts that they succeeded. At the present time the System is again on a firm basis and apparently functioning at its best although the students do not seem to believe that misappropriating books from the Library is as wrong as cheating in an examination.

It has branch chap- ters in Boston, New York City, Ithaca, N. Y., Stamford, Conn., and an Under- graduate chapter at Amherst. PURPOSE The Club feels that the name of the Massachusetts Agricultural College should be changed by action of the Legislature and Trustees, to the University of Massachusetts and is organized solely for that purpose. REASONS FOR CHANGE 1. The population of the state is not predominantly rural or agricultural and the state college, therefore, should carry on its work under a more meaningful name than at present. This name is undesirable in our estimation, not alone because it is not indicative of the major cultural, economic, and technical needs of the states but for other definite reasons: 2. Prospective students who are desirous of pursuing courses in chemistry, economics, education, and other subjects which are, and have been, offered at M. A. C, are in doubt as to their ability to secure such training due to the common expression particularly in the eastern part of the state that M. A. C. is a farm school . 3. Graduates seeking opportunities in fields other than pure agriculture are handicapped because of the inability of the prospective employer to reconcile journalism, business, etc., with the training of an agricultural college. This psychological impediment is solely the result of an unnecessary misnomer. Bequests, collections, libraries, etc., rarely find their way to M. A. C. because of the confusion as to the character and scope of the institution. An injustice is being done to the taxpayers of the state who contribute to the support of the institution and yet are not aware of the real opportunities offered by M. A. C. to their sons and daughters. 4. Enrolment of Massachusetts men, socially and culturally desirable is increasing at other New England State colleges often to the point of limitation (as at the University of New Hampshire) and showing no healthy increase at M. A. C. The enrolment of women at M. A. C. on the other hand, has increased 626% in ten years. It is not the desire of the Club to urge any cessation of the work now being carried on in agricultural extension or experiment station work. This could be carried on, even more efficiently, by a College of Agriculture within a University. The University of Massachusetts Club is anxious to enroll all alumni who are convinced of the necessity for a change in the present name of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS CLUB, E. A. Connell, Secretary, la 3 1 152 Activities Ge.-!.-., , Eisie of Hihttalit ' TpHE twenty-fifth class, that of 96, enrolled in 1892. By this tinse the college had grown considerably and had an enrollment of 190 students. It had passed thru its experimental stage, and the dark days, and was now beginning to prosper and, as one editor expressed it, the Golden Age was at hand. The curriculum offered Agriculture, Botany, Zoology, Veterinary Science, Mathematics, English, Modern Language, Politi- cal Science, and Military; the library contained 12,000 volumes, and the pond had just been built. The following year other important changes were made. The entrance requirements were made greater, Senior subjects were made elective, 85% was made the exemption mark from all finals, and Botany was broken up into Botany proper. Horti- culture, Floriculture, and Forestry. It was also a Golden Age for student influence. The Aggie Life, the college newspaper, had come into existence and helped the Index in bringing student opinion before the public. Fired by their success in getting Senior electives, the students now asked for Junior electives, to save wasted time on courses. They also requested a student Senate and more college publicity, — the latter to be obtained by changing the name. Every article reminded the public that the object of this college is to give a good general education that will be a foundation for any kind of business. This force moved swiftly the next few years. In 1896, editorials demanded the change of the name of the college because only one third of the class majored in agricul- ture. The best of these concluded as follows: Is it one of our American doctrines that one third of the constituency of an institution should give it its name while two thirds stand passively by and have no voice whatever? Why not then, name this the Massachusetts State College, extending the curriculum on broader lines, providing agriculture but as an elective, and this opening the way for a ' boom ' at ' Aggie ' ? You say this is taking away a right from the farmers of Massachusetts. We say the farmers have had forty-six years enjoyment of a good, big right, and no doubt it will be a thousand and forty years before they know they have lost it. In 1899 the college athletic awards were changed from the letters M. A. C. to the present M. , because it was more dignified and would not be mistaken for some athletic club. The use of Massachusetts in the cheers was also requested because there seemed to be no need to advertise the courses of study in the cheers. ... in 1900 the entrance requirements were changed to include more English; German was made a Sophomore subject, and French was made a Junior elective. The long asked for 10% cut system was also inaugurated. In 1901 the student body voted to eliminate the word Aggie, which caused so much grumbling, from all college publications. As a result, the Aggie Life became The College Signal. The ' 03 Index published this same year, had a long editorial headed The Massachusetts State College which contained a letter from Senator Gardiner in which he said, I could learn of no cause for the reluct- ance to abandon the present name beyond the natural conservativeness which exists among your alumni and faculty. In 1903 a fiery editorial asked for some universal name that would do away with the multitude of names the reporters of the state delighted in using for M. A. C. By 1905 the students had made a survey of possible jobs open to non-agricultural graduates of an Agricultural college. Then, when events seemed about to culminate in an action of the Legislature, President Goodell died, and was succeeded in 1906, by Kenyon L. Butterfield. ggie as fje Hookeb to 19U 7 HEN an old grad of the Class of 1911 looks back on Old Aggie, the picture he sees is ' ' different from the one that the old grad of the Class of 1931 will get when he looks back twenty years from now. He sees Daddy Mills retiring after his years as Dean, Professor Goessmann, Father of Agricultural Chemistry in America, celebrating his 80th birthday and his 40th year as a Massa- chusetts man, and Prexy Butterfield just starting his second year. He sees Billy , Doc Paige, Captain Blokey Martin, Bill Hart, Peter Hickey Holcomb, and Tab Wellington, and a lump rises in his throat at the thought that they are gone. He sees Gordon and Osmun just hit- ting their .stride after a year or two on the faculty and Doc Chamberlain beginning the years of service and devotion to Aggie that he hopes will go on for many years to come. Sid Haskell, Doc Stone, Billy O.strander, Squirt Neale and Gribben also come to mind. When he glances north of the Ravine, famous for its famous Lion, instead of the many splendid buildings now located there, he sees only the Hash House and, of course, the Experiment Stations East and West with their barn. He sees the Old Bug Lab, still doing yeoman service, helps christen Clark Hall, and again watches the construction of the fir.st wing of French Hall. While he is still looking at things On the Hill, his vision will be poor indeed if it fails to bring back the vineyard and orchard on a Fall evening with a foraging party and its rich reward of lusciousness. He shudders a bit at the two eyesores, the Old Chem Lab and the Drill Hall. One of these, putting across a stupendous chemical reaction as a farewell gesture, has been replaced by the fine new Goessmann Laboratory. The other eyesore never burned down, but, thank Heaven, the new Physical Education Building is definitely on the way. In sports and other non-academic activities are events to catch his reminiscent eye. He sees again the no-score football game with Amherst, bitterly fought that November afternoon of 1 07, in the mud that was the old Pratt Field after two or three days of soaking rain. Sixteen long years passed before there was another meeting of these two on the gridiron, and by that time much of the old bitterness had died out, fortunately. He sees the first Aggie Indoor Realy Team covering it- self with glory at the B. A. A. meet in Boston and the first of the long string of Hockey Teams taat have made Aggie a much respected foe on the ice. Intercollegiate Rifle Shooting, with Indoor and Outdoor Teams winners of their respective Intercollegiate Championships, the first three years of M. A. C. Tennis Teams, the organization of the Dramatic Society later to become the Roister Doisters, the .start of the Fraternity Conference, and the first Stock Judging and Apple Judging teams are part of the view that the 1911 man sees in Memory. In detail, the picture is different decade after decade, but back of it all and woven through it is the Old Aggie Spirit and Fight that changes not nor dies. Dr. C. A. Smith, Class ' 11 Clabk Cadet Battalion Roister IS 31 153 ilas!£iaci)ugettg tate College DURING the Fall Term of 1928 a small group of students on this campus became enthusiastic over an idea that has existed since 1898, namely to change the name of the Massachusetts Agricultural College to Massachusetts State College. The idea was presented to the student body through a publication called The Mass Action. During the Christmas vacation that same term a group of students representing the student body presented a petition signed by about 90% of the four year course to the Governor of the State, who, however, declined to accept it as he was going out of office very soon. The petition did go to the Board of Trustees who again declined to act upon it; — instead the Honorable Board decided to wait until the Land Grant College Sur- vey was published some time in 1930. During the meeting with the Trustees the statement that such a movement as one to change the name of the college amounted to nothin but a display of student sentiment that has arisen and fallen every few years greatly surprised the committee representing the students. So with this statement in mind the group decided to form a permanent committee approved by the Senate and the Adelphia whose main purpose was to carry on work of agitation in regard to changing the name of the college until some definite decision had been reached. The committee was to include seven members — four seniors and three juniors. The committee was formed and received the approval of both the Senate and Adelphia and called itself The Agitation Committee. The members were L. S. Ronka, Chairman, William Bosworth, Secretary, Louis Lynds, Henry W. .Tenson, Herbert Allen, Frederick Troy, and Paul Smith. The committee immediately proposed certain actions, such as eliminating the word Aggie whenever possible, revising the songs, and obtaining as much publicity as possible for the college. The student body co-operated and the movement became a vital force upon the campus. Enthusiasm in the student body decreased somewhat during the Spring of ' 29 and the com- mittee wondered if the idea expressed in the Trustee Meeting was to become a reality, but during the Fall of ' 29 the student body again became enthusiastic about the idea and the committee again began to work with increased vigor. In the meantime however, the Secretary of the Committee for reasons known only to himself offered his resignation which was accepted. H. Daniel Darling ' .SI was elected to fill his place and no more enthusiastic worker can be found. Dan was elected as secretary. During this term the committee met once with the President of the college. Mat- ters of intense interest were discussed amongst them the listing of the students with different majors on this campus. The question was asked of the President as to how the students had been listed in the report to Washington. He had nothing definite to say in regard to this issue so the committee wrote to Washington for information. The answer was a surprise — for all of the students in the college had always been listed under one major, namely — Agriculture. An explan- ation was in order and was requested through The. Collegian. The President however did not deem it necessary to answer this request, but did admit that the lists had always made out as having students in only one major — agriculture — and that there had been no other majors on this campus In the meantime Professor Hicks had been working on the Phys. Ed. Building Campaign. The committee decided to drop everything for the time being and to assist Professor Hicks as far as possible. After the Prof. ' s successful campaign was finished, the committee again decided to attract as much attention to the college as possible. But the Alumnae now showed a keen interest in the issue and had formed four chapters of the L ' niversity of Massachusetts Club, the purpose of which is to form a University of Massachusetts with the Massachusetts Agricultural College as a nucleus. This announcement on the part of the Alumnae came as a glad surprise to the Agi- tation Committee and they petitioned for an Undergraduate Chapter here on this campus. The petition was accepted and the Agitation Committee dissolved and became the LIndergraduate Chapter of the University of Massachusetts Club. The following officers were elected: — President — L. S. Ronka Secretary — Daniel Darling Publicity — Louis Lynds, Herbert Allen The other members of the committee are Henry W. .lansen, Frederick Troy, and Paul Smith. LAURI S. RONKA 15 31 156 ijpgical Cbucation T N the Spring of 1928 the hopes of many years began to be more than a dream, and with the hiunching of the drive for funds, the New Physical Education Building began to be a reality. The colossal task of raising the necessary $350,000 by subscriptions from friends, alumni, and undergraduates of the college was undertaken. The first few months saw a total of $40,000 con- tributed, but from then on the income fell off to some extent and a year and a half later found the total fund at $70,000. It was at this point that the tide began to turn and due to the excellent work of Prof. Hicks the State agreed to share the expenses on a 60-40% basis. There were but three months left before the end of the year and some $75,000 was needed to insure the success of the building. This campus is surrounded by history and tradition of the highest type but there are very few events that can equal the splendid way in which the Alumni and undergraduates met the challenge. It was a time to test the loyalty of every Son of Massachusetts and from the ven- erable classes of the 70 ' s through the lads of ' 33 the stalwart sons of the Old Bay State remained true. The climax was reached in that memorable assembly when President Thatcher announced the successful culmination of our effort. The drive was headed by one who was familiar with both the Alumni and the undergraduates. A man of unfailing optomism and high courage. One who faced the difficulties of the undertaking and carried the conquest to victory. When the last stone is laid and the work finished on the New Physical Education Buildings, it will stand as a fitting memorial to the unselfish and whole hearted efforts of one of our finest— Prof. CURRY S.

THERE seem to have been various activities in track and field sports ever since the first classes entered college. The first few Indexes make no references to track as a sport but, since running was considered part of the train- ing for the football team and many of the other members of the college ran with the team either for encouragement or their own personal exercise, we may con- sider that track activities, at least in this form, were known in the earliest days of the college. In the Indexes published by the classes of ' 77 and ' 78 we find reference to the first and second annual Field Day. These Field Days were held under the aus- pices of the Athletic Association which was probably the offspring of an earlier Gymnastic Association of whose activities we have no record. Every one in the college belonged in the Athletic Association and was eligible to compete in the various events. It is interesting to note that the program contained several events not common to track meets at the present time. The event which sounds most interesting and exciting was the wheelbarrow race (blindfolded) altho the sack and three legged races were not without their thrills. Instead of the present day shot of 14 pounds these early participants put a 20 pound weight and the hammer throw used an 18 pound shot instead of today ' s 16. There were also baseball throws both for distance and for accuracy. From the second Field Day in 1876 we have no further mention of the Athletic Association or its activities until 1890 when ' 91 ' s Index gives a list of its officers. The next mention of a Field Day comes in ' 93 ' s Index when we get the interesting information that all previous college records were broken, but no actual record of events is given. From this time until about 1908, track enjoyed ranging successes. Some years it was very successful and in other years it was dropped because of scarcity of funds or lack of interest. In 1894 the students held what was claimed to be the first Field Day in the history of the college. Altho they were wrong in their numerical designation, they did have the most ambitious program so far at- tempted. The Athletic Association had been revived and when inte rest was felt to be high enough the program for a field day was conceived and to the winning class was given a banner as a prize. This program was really divided into two parts for the class that won the honor had to make the highest score in both the indoor meet held in the Drill Hall in the winter, and in the outdoor meet which was held at Hampshire Park. There were no recitations on the day of the meet IB 3i 159 yA and the classes attended en masse to see ' 94 win the banner and the athletic championship of the college. For the next few years track flourished, but only as an intramural sport. In ' 94 the Index says, The field day of the spring has become one of the events in our college life. In ' 95, weekly athletic meets were held in the gym in the winter, and the next year two meets were held in the gym, and one outside in the spring, the banner being won by the class of ' 95. From this time until 1900, track was inactive because sufficient money could not be raised to support both a baseball and a track team. In 1900 we find the first Index record of an outside track meet, if we except those individuals who sometimes competed in bicycle and foot races with outside teams. This meet was a dual meet with Williston which we won by a score of 88-47. 1900 also marked the first year in which M ' s were awarded to men par- ticipating in track or other sports. Previous to this unwritten laws had governed the wearing of insignia and letters. Under the new system a council made the awards on the basis of a man ' s fulfillment of certain qualifications which varied to suit the sport. Track captains, managers, and all others who won at least three points in a dual meet, were entitled to wear an M . We believe that E. B. Saunders and L. C. Claflin, both of the class of ' 02, were the first to be awarded letters in track. From 1900 until the class of ' 08 entered M. A. C. there were no track activities mainly because there were insufficient funds to support both a baseball and a track team. The class of ' 08, in its freshman year, organized a track team, elected a captain and manager and took steps to arrange a meet with the Amherst freshmen. Their plan was not successful because certain upper- classmen chose to recall an old feud with the Amherst students and so prevented the meet. In 1909 the first physical director of M.A.C. was appointed. Dr. Percy L. Reynolds who greatly stimulated the interest in track and other sports. It was under his influence that cross-country running was taken up by the stu- dents. The season of 1911 was the first really successful one in the history of track at M.A.C. The team defeated Rhode Island State and W. P. I. The next season outdoor track was reintroduced, and cross-country was adopted by M.A.C. as an inter-collegiate sport. This (1912) was also the year when two M.A.C. men qualified for the Olympics. These men were Bruce Caldwell, and Dan Young. Since this time track has always had varsity recognition and every few years the existing records are broken. Track is now a popular sport altho it does not attract the crowds that other athletics do. m la 31 160 ' HpHE season opened with a meet with Amherst on Pratt Field, April 27, the -■- Massachusetts team losing 110-25. Bartsch, Coukos, and Magnuson won fii ' sts for the Bay Staters. The next meet was with Trinity on Alumni Field on May 4, resulting in a winning score of 64-62 for the Massachusetts team. First place honors went to Kay, Snell, Captain Webber, Hal White, Coukos, and Bartsch. The next event was a mid-week meet with the University of Vermont on Alumni Field, the visitors winning by a narrow margin, 72-63. Home team first places were won by Little, Snell, Herman, Davis, Bartsch, and Captain Webber. The last dual meet was on May 11 with Worcester Tech at Worcester where the Maroon and White lost 89-45. Snell, Hal White, Magnuson, and Bartsch won first places for Massachusetts. The season saw the breaking of three Massachusetts records. Bartsch ' 31 threw the javelin 154 feet 7 inches; Coukos ' 29 heaved the shot 37 feet 7 inches; Magnuson ' 30 sent the hammer 113 feet 9 inches. During the season the Maroon and White gathered 198 points to the op- ponents ' 330. Of the Massachusetts points, 87 were gained in runs, and 111 in field events. FRANK M.

The harriers scored victories over Wesleyan, Boston University, and St. Stephens. Both the meet with Worcester Tech and the meet with Amherst were lost by very close scores. The first race on the schedule was run against Wesleyan on the Middletown course. There Captain White ' s team nearly made a perfect score against their opponents. Only one Wesleyan man finished before the Massa- chusetts team crossed the finish line. In this case. Gross of Wesleyan managed to get fifth place. Crawford and McGuckian were tied for first and second places while Captain White and Hernan were tied for third and fourth. West was the fifth State man to finish. The following week, the team made a trip to Worcester where they lost a meet to Worcester Tech by the close score of 24 to 31. Crawford made a fair bid for first place but was nosed out by a last minute spurt by Pierce of Worcester. The next meet was a triangular one between x .mherst and St. Stephens on the Amherst course. The race took place between the halves of the Massa- chusetts-Amherst football game. Amherst won the meet with a score of 23. Massachusetts was second with 38, and St. Stephens last with 66. Crawford was just two seconds behind the winning Amherst harrier. The only meet run on the home course was the last one and the opponents were from Boston University. The race was very close and only teamwork on the part of the Bay State runners made a victory possible. The final result was 26 to 29. Crawford again finished first and just missed equalling the Massachu- setts course record by 33 seconds. The varsity cross country team entered the New England Intercollegiates but did not have as much success. Injuries prevented the club from asserting its full strength. Crawford finished in 22nd place among 72 runners and the team placed tenth in the meet. WILBUR F. BUCK, Manager 163 164 BASEBALL ||is(torp T3EF0RE the 20th century broke over us, bringing with it science and luxury - - and robbing us of physical vigor and mental quietude, our incipient baseball squad did many wondrous things. In those good days of yore, farm work, (at ten cents an hour) was compulsory. No wonder that one old timer casually tells of running down to the river, rowing six miles and then running back to play baseball with Amherst and beating them 33-32. That was in 1875. But to begin at the beginning: The first team was organized in ' 68, the spring following the entrance of the pioneer class. Due to the untiring energy of Lewis A. Nichols ' 71 who organized the team and to the generosity of Honorable Marshall P. Wilder who financed it and gave it its name, the team immediately began to win games under the title of the Wilder Nine. For a long while, lack of transportation limited the com- petitors to Williston Academy, Amherst High, Springfield Baseball Club, and the town teams of Belchertown and Granby . However, those early years were hard ones. Equipment was lacking; competitors were hard to find and interest lagged so that Nichols had a hard time finding nine men for the Wilder Nine, The class of 1873 produced only one candidate. It was 1877 before the team had uni- forms or protectors. Before then the catcher played without a glove or mask and sustained full many a broken nose or finger. He usually stood well back from the plate, catching the ball on the first bound. When, in a tight play, he stood directly behind the batter he was flirting with death. In order to make the game interesting the batter was al lowed nine balls. The ball itself was larger, softer, and heavier than the one used at present. It was usually in the outfield, as home runs were common with the pitchers using a straight, underhand, tossing motion of delivery. Perhaps the greatest of them all was Bill Nye ' 76 who could throw 350 feet. In 1887 uniforms and gloves were bought and the name changed to the Aggie Nine . These first uniforms had the letters M.A.C. across the front and were laced up at the neck. The class of ' 99 produced the Spartan, Cooley, who caught five innings after he had had five teeth knocked out. This same Cooley figured in a unique umpire ' s decision in an earlier game. He was playing outfield, and while running after a fly his belt became loosened and slipped, and the de- scending ball, missing his glove, bounced off his stomach and went down his pants. Was the batter out or not? The ump said yes , and yes it was. With the advent of the new century better transportation widened the field of competition until it included, Maine State College, Williston, Trinity, Vermont Academy, Mt. Hermon, Bates, and Colby. Now the sport flourished as never before. Then came the war. The players answered the call of their country to play the greatest game and baseball languished and died. In 1920, the Physi- cal Education Department revived the dead game and inadvertently saved from extinction one of the oldest sports on campus. Since than it has prospered and produced good teams. la 31 165 166 1929 easion THE Bay State team had a rather poor season last year only winning three out of their fourteen encounters. In the opening game, the varsity team was defeated by the Clark University team, by a score of 7 to 5. Springfield College next took the Aggie ball-tossers by a six run margin. The loss of this game was due largely to the pitching of Lipp of the Springfield team. The score of this game was 10 to 4. A few days later the town rivals had their first tilt. The Bay State men played a fair game, but they were out-hit by the Sabrinas. The book at the end of this first town game read Amherst 7, Massachusetts State 3. Each of the next two games were lost by a single run. Lowell Textile and Williams were our opponents. The scores were 8 to 7, and 9 to 8 respectively. Our next game came on High School Day. Much to our delight and the delight of our visitors, we won this game by a score of 2 to 1. Wherity, the Bay State pitcher, and Richardson, the twirler for Northeastern, each allowed only three hits. We next suffered defeat at the hnnds of Wesleyan. The Agates had a good chance of winning the game until the last of the seventh inning. In the eighth inning, however, something broke, and Wesleyan pulled through with a score of 7-4. In an extremely wet game played on the Varsity Field a few days later, the Massachusetts nine, playing against the University of New Hampshire, managed to pull through with a score of 4 to 3. Trinity surprised everyone by coming out on the large end of a 5 to 1 score. This defeat was largely due to the pitching of Adams of the Hartford team. He struck out eleven men and allowed only five hits. Our old rivals. Tufts, next defeated us to the tune of 11 to 2. The Bay Staters did well for six innings, but from then on they fell down badly and Tufts easily won the game. On the trip to Vermont, the Bay State team lost both games. Middlebury came out ahead in a game that could be well characterized as a pitchers ' battle. A home run by Sorenson in the fourth inning was the run that decided the contest, the score of which was 3 to 2. The following day, the University of Vermont took Massachusetts by a 10 to 1 score. Coach Ball ' s team then journeyed to Worcester to play the game that had previously been postponed on account of rain. The score at the end of the ninth showed that the Bay State team had won by one run. The score was 6 to 5. In the second town tilt, Amherst pulled out on top by a score of 5 to 4. This game should have gone to Massachusetts as the team played well, making only one error as compared to five by the Sabrinas. The season on the whole was not very successful, but we are hoping for a better one this year, although the prospects, as far as pitchers go, are not bright. ARNOLD C. HAYNES, Assist.

Delano ex ' 82 were the principals in organizing the first team for they were the only ones in college who had played the game before coming to M. A. C. In the early days of football history the team consisted of fif- teen members; eight forwards, four half backs, three backs; and a man could toss the ball to a teammate after being tackled. The ball was downed only when the ball carrier cried Held or Down . We won the first football game ever played by an M. A. C. team. This was in 1879 when the Amherst freshmen were defeated one touchdown to nothing. The next year the number of players was reduced to eleven, possibly because other teams thought that eleven corn-fed huskies could not possibly be as hard to play against as fifteen. In 1880 the players were known as rushers, half tends and tends. 1880 also marked the first time that a Bay State eleven ever appeared in a uniform. This uniform represented satorial perfection in football equipment in the ' 80s. It consisted of a white canvas jacket with sleeves, white canvas pants, maroon stockings, and a maroon and white stocking cap. In those days a touchdown counted two, a goal four, and a safety two for the opponents. Training was rather strenuous — there was a daily practice and then about ten at night the entire squad had to take a run of about a mile along the col ' ege drives. The players were cautioned against eating ' pickles and ice dream and like dainties ' before a game so that they would not need to be dragged off the field in the middle of the battle suffering with a stomach ache. Instead of giving a detailed resume of football year by year until the present time we will mention instead a few of the most outstanding teams. The first team to play football ' to any extent ' was 1881. The team record was. Won 2, Lost 1, Tied 1. This team played the first football game with a college in our history. The game resulted in a tie. The next outstanding team was that of 1885 which beat Amherst twice in the same season. The season of ' 92 produced the highest scoring team in our history. This team scored 200 points in one season. The last two outstanding teams have been those of 1922 and 1924. The ' 27 outfit won five out of eight games and also played the first intersectional game in our history although we lost by a very one-sided score. The team in 1924 won six, tied Tufts 7-7 and lost one, scoring 184 points to its opponents 61. We could, of course, tell you all about every season but Kid Gore is working on a History of Football at M. A. C. and we do not want to steal the glory; anyway, the team does enough each fall to make further history unnecessary. 169 easion 1929 THE season of 1929 found the coaching staff, headed once again by Chick ' ' McGeoch ' 25, faced with the usual handicap, a lack of football material. However, a small light, Init fif litiiig team was soon whipped into sliaiie. ' I ' lic team, captained by Ray Mann ;50, opened the season in fine shape by beating a fighting Bates team at Lewiston to the tune of 7-6. In the next game with Bowdoin, on Alumni Field, a real fighting, line-smashing Bay State team was beaten by the powerful Maine aggregation by an 18-6 score. The next game, with Middlebury, was even more closely fought, and the home team lost by the narrow margin of 14-12. The home team opened up a spurt in the last half, but did not have sufficient time to nose out a victory. The following week, the Bay Staters took revenge on Norwich for last year ' s defeat CAPTAIJ.-KLECT MnNKhiEiN by beating the Horscmen 12-6. The next week the Massachusetts gridsters journeyed to Worcester to pin a 19-12 defeat onto the Engineers. In this game, Holmberg, Ellert, Brown, and Bond, the famous midget backfield men showed their wares to the crowd, and were the means to end in gaining the victory for old Bay State. In the annual game with Amherst for the mythical town title, Amherst again walked off with a 13-0 prize, but not one easily earned. A fighting, smashing Massachusetts team showed its superiority again by gaining the most first downs, and playing scoreless game for three quarters. In the game with Springfield the following week, the visitors were defeated 13-0, by a powerful, experienced Springfield aggregation. The final game of the season with Tufts resulted in a scoreless tie. Thus, the season ended with the count standing three victories, one tie, and four defeats. KARL M. TOMFOHRDE UA T . HOCKEY TTOCKEY as we know it today was first played - - A in 1909, but before that time the students played at the direct ancestor of Hockey, Polo, which some of us may know better as Shinny . Polo was played even before there was a Pond on campus, the players walking two miles to the nearest ice at East Street or North Amherst. The Pond was formed in 1899 and in that year we have the first men- tion of Polo in an Index. The early teams consisted of five men — center rush, first rush, second rush, half back and goal. The puck was a round ball, not the present thick disk. ' 89 ' s Index is the last to mention the Polo Team but in 1909 we find information concerning the first Varsity Hockey team. In the first sea- son of varsity Hockey four games were played and three lost, but the following seasons were more successful and have continued so to the present day. We do not like to boast but some of our Hockey teams have furnished material for the Olympic Teams. The Hockey Squad picked for the 1924 Olympics included Justin McCarthy, forward, captain of the 1921 sextet and John J. Lyons, defense, of the 1922 team. easfon 1930 1930 proved another banner year for the Maroon and White hockey team. Under Captain Dicky Bond, the team won seven games and lost four. Only one game on the schedule was cancelled, even though we did have a rather open winter. A group of lettermen composed of Bond, Frost, Davis, Waechter, Manty and Myrick, gave Red Ball, ample material to build a strong club. Herb Forest, brother of Captain Joe Forest ' 28, played his first year of varsity hockey and lead the team in scoring, though Ed Frost ran him a close second. The season opened with a 5-0 win over C. A. C. in the West Springfield Arena. In a fast, hard-fought game with Hamilton at Clinton, Frost, Forest and Gunness scored successively to put the team on the long end of a 3-2 score. This was the first time in over five years that an M. A. C. sextet has downed a Hamilton outfit. In the following encounter, Captain Lindquist of Army proved the Nemesis of the Massachusetts team. The game was played on the Bear Mountain Rink, in such a fog as to make the ends of the rink indistinguishable. Lack of practise and condition forced the Maroon and White to accept a 5-3 defeat. The St. Stephens game, scheduled to be played on the same trip, was cancelled due to 171 lack of ice. In a weekend game at Providence, Brown was victorious to the tune of 7-0, though the game was not quite as one sided as the score seems to indicate. In the first campus game, Bates was defeated 2-1. Art Brown made his debut as a hockey player and proved a find for the second forward line. Captain Cogan of Bates deserves great credit for his fast skating and clever stickwork. On the Maine trip the Bay Staters scored two more wins. Davis won the first from New Hampshire when he got a quick one in the beginning of the first over- time period after New Hampshire had tied the score at one-all in the third period. Norm Myrick was the shining light in the Bates game making many spectacular saves. Bates was snowed under for the second time this season by a 4-3 score. In the next game which was played at the Boston Arena, Captain Kerins of Northeastern made a spectacular dash to register the only tally of the evening. In the game to decide the town championship, Amherst was never more com- pletely outclassed. Dicky Bond and Herb Forest paired up twice and Herb counted each time for the only scores of the game. Only the great work of Han- son, the Amherst goalie, prevented a worse defeat. After a spell of mild weather and a lay-off from practise, a much improved C. A. C. team was taken into camp by the count of 2-1. In the last game of the season at Williamstown, the superior team of the Royal Purple of Williams shaded the Maroon and White by a score of 4-2. Bond, Waechter and Zuger are the only members of the team to be lost by graduation. Davis, Manty, Myrick, and Captain-elect Ed Frost, have had two years of varsity experience, while Brown, Forest and Gunness are members of the present sophomore class. With these lettermen as a nucleus, the prospects for the 1931 season look bright. VINCENT J. RILEY, MGR.

A season with eleven wins out of fourteen starts has been equalled by only 3 preceeding teams at Massachusetts. The Ellert coached and captained team can justly claim the mythical New England championship since it had the highest percentage of wins of any college team in New England. The phrase Stars in Stripes justly describes this outstanding court team but at the same time it was one of harmoniou.sly working fellows who played the game to the utmost because they admired their coach and captain, Freddie Ellert. It was a do or die spirit for his sake that prevailed during the season. Fred Ellert was a hero of this season ' s team. Although he was not a high scorer in each game, he had the ability to get the ball and hold or pass it to the astonishment of his opponents. If Fred could not dribble through a group of men he could pass the ball with bullet-like speed to place it in scoring position. As a sportsman and leader few Bay State men will ever equal him. Basket-sinker Stanisiewski, tall black haired center, deserves much credit for our wins. Stan shot with such ease and adeptness that one cannot find his equal. He was high scorer of the team and among the first ten high scorers of the East. One cannot predict too much of a future on the court for Stan in another season. Tim Minkstein, that left forward that fought for the ball every minute of every game he played, was another high scorer of the team. Tim had the un- canny ability to make hook-shots count just when they were needed. It was Tim ' s chance shot that gave us the win over Williams at Williamstown. Jack Foley and Ray Mann as guards played their best in preventing their individual opponents from scoring. No little credit for our successful season can be given these men who prevented such men as Symoncyk of Northeastern and Good of Williams from raising havoc with our score. Sneaky Davis and Grekky Paksarian deserve full credit for the games they played; each was a valuable asset at mid-season when the real battle started. Just a word about some of the games that we played. It was during the Connecticut game that we were out-towered by height but were not outplayed. The W. P. I. game was the greatest thrill of the season when the lead changed IS 31 eleven times during the game, only to have our team surge ahead by six points in the last minute to play. The New Hampshire game which came the night before the W. P. I. game was also a hard game, but the boys came through with a nine point free margin. The Wesleyan game with its 26-25 score resolved itself into a fault shooting contest with Jack Foley sinking the double decker to win the game. Trinity and Amherst in the same week were no set ups for the team. Both teams desired to win but they received only the small end of the score. The Williams game is the outstanding example of a game where the team came back after almost sure defeat. Trailing by 15 points after playing seventeen minutes put us in a very poor situation but to forge ahead and win in 23 minutes, trade marks a team with nerve and guts. The season ended in an unpleasant manner at Tufts. On the whole it was a joyful one however, and a season that everyone connected with the team put his heart and soul into. Led by the diminutive Coach, Captain and Herr, Fred EUert the team attained its name Stars in Stripes because they loved and admired Fred, the smiling, thinking, and cool headed leader. CHARLES W.

Basketball was introduced in 1898 by the class of ' 01 from Springfield College where the game was originated by Dr. Waismith. The first inter-class contests were played the following winter in the Old Drill Hall (not the present one) altho the lack of heat greatly cooled the ardor of the players and the students frequently criticized the faculty for giving them no better a place to exercise than the old hall when the temperature ran from 5 to 10 degrees below freezing. These conditions could not last, for the enthusiastic way in which basketball was received soon convinced the college authorities that better playing facilities were needed and, as a final result, we have our large, airy, well-equipped Drill Hall. We will soon have our new Physical Education Building however and then all worries about playing room will be over. The first varsity basketball team of intercollegiate grade was organized in 1902 and it made not a bad beginning to our basketball history by winning 5 out of its 8 games. For the next few years basketball had indifferent success until it was given up entirely between 1910-1916. In 1917, mainly thru the efforts of Prof. Hicks varsity basketball was reestablished and under H. M. Gore as coach it won 4 out of 6 games. We have had a basketball team on the floor every year since then with more than moderate success. Four basketball teams have been outstanding; The Big ' 17 Team won 4 out of 6 games; The 1922 All Valley 5 won 11 out of 15 games; The Flying Agrarians of 1929 won 11 out of 14 and the N. E. Champs of 1925 also won 11 out of 14. This last team made the highest score of any team in our history scoring 61 points against Norwich. It is interesting to note that during the four seasons from 1922-25 only one game was lost on our home floor and that only the ' 29 and ' 24 teams were able to beat Harvard. Interest in basketball at the present time is at a high pitch and any one who has tried to get a seat for an important game knows that student enthusiasm and support is not lacking.

Outing Club was formed in 1926 by a group of students wlio knew the quiet satisfaction to be found in woods and hills. From this begin- ning is growing an organization which seeks to preserve and encourage this spirit amid the fevered rush of college life. At a convenient distance from the campus is the Mt. Toby Reservation, a broad preserve of streams and wooded hills, threaded with old trails awaiting re-discovery. Within ready access, too, are the Pelham Hills, the rugged Holyoke Range, the vantage points of Sugarloaf, Warner and Lincoln, and the everchanging, charming Orient. These are the true meeting places of the Outing Club. But also regular monthly meetings are held, when foresters, naturalists and travelers are called upon to speak. The club business is divided into several heads. The Trails Commitee maintains the standard trails on Toby, and, when time permits, restores a disused path, or scouts out some new spot of beauty. The Cabin Committee has charge of Camp Macoc on Toby, and each year adds something to its utility as a shelter for overnight hikers. The Activities Committee schedules the weekly hikes, arranges such special events as steak-roasts and bacon-bats, and has charge of the winter sleigh ride and spring sugaring-off party. Each winter, precraious weather conditions permitting, the club plans to run an all-college Carnival; and an annual banquet takes place in May. Within the club is the Order of the Guides, an Honorary gToup of members who have passed certain requirements of woodcraft, first aid, trail-knowledge, and active club work. The purpose of this order is to provide a nucleus for a stronger organization, which will develop Mt. Toby to a natural retreat of the finest order, and awaken the student body to the silent call of this mountain of beauty. KENNETH W. HUNT. 0itictt6==M. Kenneth W. Hunt ' 30 . Anna T. Parsons ' 32 W.

C. is a very brief but a very interesting and - - important one. The one event of outstanding importance and absorbing interest was the remarkable achievement of the crew of 1871 — the first college crew of M. A. C. — in its magnificent victory over the crews of Harvard and Brown in the first intercollegiate regatta of American colleges at Ingleside on the Connecticut River near Springfield on July 21, 1871. This was the first and last victory for M. A. C, altho crews were entered the next two years. The crowd was impatient, hints of pink were tinging the few clouds in the west as a warning that the sun was ready to set, the river was still and blue mirror- ing the three slim shells lined up before the judges ' boat. The six athletes in Brown ' s shell were stripped to the waist and their style was followed by four of the Harvard men, two still clinging to their shirts. The Amhersts (M. A. C.) brown and brawny as Greek pirates and somewhat fantastically clad in white sleeveless shirts and white trousers, with Phrygian caps of the same material on their heads (these were white handkerchiefs with maroon borders prepared and presented to the crew by young lady friends of Amherst) sat motionless. Their weeks training had been sadly broken into, and their development somewhat vitiated by the air of commencement studies, but they seemed confident that their rivals were predestined to defeat . At 7.04 the Judge ' s voice, Are you ready? Nods of assent and the starting gun is fired. Six short, fast, powerful strokes and the Massachusetts shell is in the lead, not to be overtaken during the race, and a new intercollegiate record is made. The best way of revealing the greatness and significance of this victory is to quote two extracts, one from the Springfield Republican and the other from an article written for the 1909 Index by Gedion H. Allen who was a member of the crew that won the race. The crew have practised but ten days under Josh Ward, and their boating knowledge has been gained in an old boat, but they seemed to be possessed of a great deal of it. Their boat is that which the Amherst College crew had last year at Worcester. It is 50 feet long by 19 inches wide. Ward says that the time was so short that he concluded not to put the boys on severe training. So he has given them coarse food and plenty of advice. ' Let me have ten days longer, ' says Ward, ' and I ' ll make a crack crew of my boys. ' AMHERST TIME THE FASTEST EVER MADE It was considered a severe strain on the propriety of things that the crew of the Amherst Agricultural College should defeat both Harvard and Brown in the recent University race at Ingleside; but a discovery has now been made that renders the brilliant victory of the ' Aggies ' still more extraordinary and surprising. They not only defeated the old University crews, but the time-keepers now show 1S31 181 that they made, in so doing, the fastest time on record. There was, it seems, an error of just one minute in the time as announced on the day of the race, which, being deducted, gives the Amherst Agricultural crew the absolutely unprecedented time of 16 minutes, 46 2 seconds. As a result of the great victory, the college, with but four years of life as an active educational institution and hardly known beyond the boundaries of the Bay State, sprang immediately into prominence, and its name and fame were heralded thruout the country. The victory became the theme for the press for the time being far and wide, and unstinted praise and honor was bestowed upon the victorious crew and the college by a rejoicing public. The stimulus of the achievement gave new courage and energy to the officers and faculty of the college, and opened the way for the broadened scope, the higher reputation, and the fuller patronage of the institution, insuring the successful career which followed. It marked the coming out, the debut, of the college into the open arena of educa- tional life and effort, giving it a place and standing among the colleges of the countrv .

That is, the Men ' s Glee Club has had difBculty in obtaining concerts, and the Girl ' s Glee Club was getting concerts only within close proximity. Because of these cir- cumstances, it was decided to unite the two clubs, have a mixed troupe travel, and have a Campus Chorus to take care of the combined singing that would dis- appear with the cutting-out of the Glee Clubs. Lo! Out of this combination there grew two organizations, the Bay State Entertainers and the Campus Chorus. Both of these have been a success far so. This year the Campus Chorus is putting on only one concert, a Social Union Pro- gram. They meet once a week for an hour rehearsal and are trained by an effi- cient coach in group singing. It is a well-attended function with fifty to seventy- five members, and should prove a favorite activity in future years. The Bay State Entertainers is an organization of talented students whose various acts go to make up a delightful program. The program, composed of vocal numbers, musical numbers, dancing, readings, and a short play, lasts about one and one-half hours, and then the Orchestra, which travels with the Enter- tainers, supplies dance music for the remainder of the evening. As this is a new institution, it will take some time to build up a reputation, and we are sure that it will then be a popular organization throughout the state. G.

C Many clubs, from the College Choir to the Bay State Entertainers have made the welkin ring since 1869. The first musical bodies at M. A. C. were the College Choir and the Glee Club. The Choir was organized by the college fathers to insure devoutness during the service, but the Glee Club was a voluntary organization determined to add cheer to any and all gatherings. The Glee Club frequently had its own orchestra, but at other times the College Orchestra was independent of the Glee Club. As time went on banjo and mandolin clubs appeared until finally the combined musical clubs began to give several out of town concerts every season. The development of the College Choir into today ' s present Bay State Entertainers has been one of steady progress. The present combined Musical Clubs give several outside concerts each year with remarkable success and the teeming auditorium at campus concerts gives proof of the popularity of the clubs. In 1879, the Morris Drum Corps appeared. This was the military band and was named after the then reigning P. M. S. and T. Lieut. Morris. Four years later the name of the band was changed to the Aggie Band, and by a gradual evolution was finally known simply as the Military Band. Old residents of the town sometimes tell how they used to strut along the streets (when young) in- forming all, and sundry that, Here comes the Aggie Band, meanwhile beating with vigor, if not with harmony, on an old tin wash tub. They were not making fun of the Band for the great ambition of most of the boys of the town was to grow up and play in the Aggie Band and wear a snappy uniform with a dark blue coat and white trousers. Today the band is more or less voluntary. Cap- tain Sumner and the Military Department do all in their power to help along the cause and enthusiastic support has resulted in getting a maroon and white opera cape for the leader, and maroon zipper shirts for all the members. The band had to bargain to get these costumes however, for now they have to appear at a certain number of games and mass meetings. 189 lee Club (0rcf)egtra H. Sidney Vaiighan H.

This was just the beginning of a long line of monthlies and weeklies put forth by the students in their literary and journal- istic endeavors. The Index throughout its long history has been a worthy and representative achievement of the students of this College. It has been a real criterion of Bay State literary prowess. Massachusetts men have taken another means of expressing their thoughts and sentiments in a literary way. The College newspaper has been from its be- ginning, one of the most prominent activities here. In 1870, the Amherst College Record had a department conducted by the senior class of M. A. C. News and notes of the College sometimes covered a full page. This page was an indirect ancestor of the Collegian. Up to 1890, when M. A. C. was separated from Boston University, the Beacon contained news of the College in a department conducted by Bay State men. Meanwhile, two student publications, the Register, an annual, and the College Monthly, were published at the college It was not until 1890, however, that a regular weekly newspaper, Aggie Life, appeared on campus. Since then, it has enjoyed a continuous existence except for the changes in name. As a result of the student body ' s demands for a name without the word Aggie in it, the title was changed to the College Signal in October, 1901. Again, in 1914, in accordance with the wishes of the student body, the name was changed to the Massachusetts Collegian. This name has remained ever since. In 1914, a new publication made its appearance. This was the Friday War Cry, a comic magazine. The name was later changed to The Squib. After ten years of successful publication, it died a sudden death because of faculty censure. From that day to this, the Massachusetts man has been forced to read Life for its jokes. The latest publication on the Campus, the Inkhorne, a magazine of student poetry, made its appearance in 1927 and 1928. No issue came out in 1929 but work on the 1930 number has been going on during the past year. From the above, it can easily be seen that the tendency among the students has been towards a more liberal and artistic atmosphere in the field of literature. As the College grew more liberal, the students did also, and vice versa, so that we have now both a liberal-minded student body and a comprehensive curriculum. s mi 1£ 31 194 I ebelopment of Eoi ter Moi ttt THE early days of the college saw many plays and skits presented, but these were the results of the efforts of the individual classes and did not represent the college as a whole. One cold night in January 1910, a small group of earnest players met in the Chapel to discuss plans for a dramatic union that would include all the talent of the college. The result of this meeting was the Dramatic Society which began its formal production the next year. By 1914 the students felt that Dramatic Society was not a sufficiently distinctive and colorful name and so the Roister Doisters — named after the first true English comedy — came into existence. The organization was under the supervision of the Non-Athletic Association. Because of the war the society was largely inactive until 1919, after which people found that they had time to play again. The purpose of the Roister Doisters is to bring before the undergraduates of the college, strictly by means of student talent, the best productions obtainable in tragedy and comedy As a result of this liberal policy the society has enjoyed a most enviable record among student activities. Besides the three entertainments given every year: Aggie Revue (when will its name be changed?), Prom Show and the Commencement Play, the Roister Doisters have presented at least two shows which were well-received by people not intimately connected with the college. The first of these was Pluto ' s Daughter, a musical comedy, which was presented at the Academy of Music in Northampton in 1915. This was M. A. C. ' s first original musical comedy and was written and presented entirely by the students. The three joint authors were Sidney M. Morse ' 15, Hyde Smith ' 15, and Frank Anderson ' 16. The Acad- emy was crowded for the show and the abundance of little devils, the catch music, the clever lines and dancing took the audience by storm. Another outstanding, and permanent production of the Roister Doisters is the movie, Aggie Men Are Gathered. This film took three years to make and only the skillful editing by Jane Patterson ' 29 made its production possible, for it had nearly been abandoned as hopeless. The plot is more or less the usual one where the hero wins the big game at the last minute but there are two things which we especially remember. The first is the tremendous speed at which the Dean ' s car travels, and the second is the crowd which carries the hero from the field after he has turned defeat into victory. We were in it. During the past year the Roister Doisters enjoyed a very successful season. The Prom Show was Craig ' s Wife. Blondie Mills and Jane Patterson, both ' 29 were largely responsible for the success of the play. Macbeth, with the same two playing the leads, was the other outstanding feature of the season. 195 IJarsiitp Betiatins eam Professor Walter E. Prince Theodore Marcus Milton I.

The second of these served to introduce the Oregon plan of cross examination which gives promise of usurping the pop- ularity of the Oxford plan. Varsity debatin g began with a promising outlook of one veteran of two year ' s varsity debating, two members of last year ' s freshman team, which was unusually good, and two freshmen who had some debating experience. The subject selected lacked much in appeal to the student body, but there was not much choice because of the insist ance of our opponents. The subject was Resolved: that the nations should adopt a plan of complete disarmament except of such forces needed for police duty. The team has yet to meet its first opponent, but with the careful grooming which each debating team receives from Professor W. E. Prince who is the coach, there is no doubt that the team will be worthy of Massachusetts.

It is in hopes therefore that through out efforts the students will pass with more reverence and greater appreciation the Old Stockbridge House, that we borrow the following article from the 1927 Index. Between Wilder Hall and Clark Hall, half hidden by the elms, pines, and masses of grape vine, is a little old farmhouse known to Aggie graduates as ' The Old Stockbridge House ' because President Stockbridge lived there during his administration and kept his office in the small room over the woodshed. There are few people who appreciate what a gem this old house is, for in its present ramshackle condition it catches the eye of only those who are versed in the charm and beauty of the old New England homestead. The symmetry and simplicity of the lines of the house, the tiny window panes, and the sunken door- way, mark it as one of the old homes, which, like old people, should be cherished. In this Connecticut Valley, rich with th history of the early struggles of this country, such a home fills the imagination with pictures of staunch settlers living their rigorous life, of Indian wars and massacres, of hard winters taking their toll of life, and of all the odds against which the first settlers fought with cush courage that we are proud to call them our ancestors. The house is built in the old colonial manner with the first floor covering more area than the second so that the sloping walls brace the house. I ike other old homes in this part of the country, its principle beams and windov sills are hand hewn, what nails that are in the house are hand made and the latjhes and hinges are beautifully wrought. The hair-plaster and four foot paneling on the walls and the old corner-closets fill the heart of the antiquarian with delight. The ancient chimney, now removed, covered an area of 196 square feet and contained three fireplaces and a smoke-oven. On the inside of the windows are the old wooden shutters which could be closed to keep out molesters or Indians. The wells under the house gave clear cold spring water. On rainy days children in the house played hide-and-seek in the dark attic, which they invested with ghosts, and in the secret closet in the wall of the living room, near the chimney. It was large enough for a man to sit or lie in comfortably but there are no records of it ever being used seriously as a hiding place. In the same wall were two secret drawers for the safe keeping of the family valuables. For forty years the house has been used as the home of college caretakers and now it is occupied by a workman. It is no credit to the state that she is letting such a heritage fall to ruin for lack of proper care and appreciation. There seems to be a ' need of be ' ig versed in country things ' . la 31 199 ' 4 M. - - 1 1 N II h .

The editor told us to be funny and that was enough to nip the whole thing in the bud. But seriously now we must get down to business and write something about our Cla.tfi Characters. The picking of characters is a dangerous job fraught with potential perils for people have to live up to other ' s conceptions of them. Suppose the printer confused the names of the most popular co-ed and the smoker. Imagine Pee- Wee inhaling vigorously on an evil smelling pipe and Dan pat- tering around in a short dress with no stockings? Or suppose the most popular prof, were confused with the smoothest man; then Doc Torrey would have to invade the Abbey and give the little girls a line (individually) and Dave would have to study almost twice as hard as he does now. You can conceive of the ensuing weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth if many mistakes of this sort were made, so we will not tell you any more for even you can probably see the inherent danger of picking Class Characters even with no malice aforethought. The one thing that we can pride ourselves on is that there is no Rustic in the class of ' 31, but the rest are to be found below.

C. to be the graduate of an ■ Agricultural College. He definitely determined to make M. A. C. agricultural. He repeatedly emphasized, in his public speeches, that We must never forget that this is solely an Agricultural College. During his administration, many courses were added, but always with the nomenclature Agricultural. For eighteen years he suc- cessfully stifled the State College idea. When he resigned in 1924 Edward M. Lewis, then Dean, was made acting President, and later was elected to the chair. In 1927 he resigned, and Roscoe W. Thatcher, another graduate of an Agricultural college, became President. The latter years of President Butterfield ' s administration saw the beginnings of the renaissance of liberality which now seems about to culminate in definite action. More and more courses have been added to the curriculum of the Department of Humanities, particularly studies in English and Modern Languages. Thru the interest of Professors, many courses, as yet too liberal for the college curriculum, have been offered in seminars, and these have proven exceptionally popular with the students. For several years Dr. Torrey has held private lectures on Philosophy and Metaphysics; Professor Waugh has given seminars on Art Appreciation, and the English Department has held weekly lectures on special scholarly problems. In 1928 Professor Dunbar conducted a volun- tary course in Greek. With the revival of student desire for cultural courses has come the revival of the State College idea, It was presented to the students in Mass Action, a North College production, in 1928 and resulted in the formation of the Agitation Committee to keep the interest alive. The report of the committee is given elsewhere in this volume, but it has done its work, even going so far as to interview Governor Fuller in hopes of legislative action. The Alumni have carried the idea farther and in 1929 formed the University of Massachusetts Club, a national organization whose purpose is to sup- plant the Agricultural College by a University. In 1930 the Agitation Committee voted to disband and reorganize as the Campus Chapter of the University of Massachusetts Club. Now for the first time, an organized alumni body is cooperating with the students to remove the word Agricultural from the name of the College. Sixty years of student criticism have passed. Almost every great change for the broadening of the scope of M. A. C. has been preceeded by student demand. Almost every insistent student demand has been granted. There has been a continuous move- ment for growth from the first suggestion that the college advertise to the latest demand for a university. Judged by past successes, it is but a question of time before the hope of a generation of students will be realized and Massachusetts shall have a State College. Communication Jfrom tfte €la of 1921 TN being called upon to write a communication in behalf of the Class of ' 21 for an historicalissue - ' - of the Index I feel that it would not be out of place to say a few words concerning the college customs in our time. The class of ' 21 entered M. A. C. in 1917. The total enrolment of the col- lege was rather large, but in the short time of one year the enrolment had fallen to almost nothing. Nearly everyone had gone to the war and in 1918 the college was made up, largely of S.A.T.C. men. By January, however, nearly all of those who had left had returned and the Cla.ss of ' 21, for this reason, contained men from each of the three preceeding classes. During the war nearly all college customs had disappeared so it was up to us to revive the old traditions. One of our most effective means of making a Freshman conscious of his college was to hold Arena Parties at which he was bathed in tar and then gentlj ' rolled in the soft shavings covering the floor of the Arena. (Gasoline and a good stiff brush usually removed the tar). Another pleasant custom was the Banquet SCRAP. The Freshmen tried to hold a banquet in some nearby city with their officers at the head of the table; in fact, the banquet was considered a failure unless the officers were there. It was the duty of the Sophs to see that these men were not there to respond to the Bottoms Up, The rules specified that neither class should leave Amherst during the few days preceeding the scrap but ' 21 decided that the Freshman Banquet should not be a success in spite of the rules. We therefore hired handcuffs from the Amherst and Springfield police and proceeded to ask as many Freshmen as we could find, Want a ride. ' We then took our guests to an old barn in Levrett and handcuffed them in a circle around a large post in the center of an old barn. The few guards we left were slightly under the weather so the Frosh had little difficulty in undermining the post and reaching a farmer who cut the handcuffs. (Cost to the Class of ' 21, $250). The next day the two classes met in a pitched battle in front of French Hall and again ' 21 had to pay — this time for a mutilated fire hose. As a further bit of ignominy the stocks which we had, prepared for the reception of the Freshmen were found to be ju.st our size, and the Freshmen had their Banquet after all. It is with regret that we see the passing of the old customs. We realize that it maj ' be a change for the better, yet we had a lot of fun in the old days. Paul Brown, ' SI. 1 31 216 ililitatp ' T ' HE history of the Military Department seems to have varied as the type of - - uniform issued to the Cadets. The first uniform consisted of a panama hat and a grey flannel shirt with the letters M. A. C. worked into a shield on the breast. Altho these made up the entire uniform the cadets were expected to wear trousers and were even made to tuck the shirts inside the trousers. At this time four years was the customary length of service, but in spite of such prolonged drill, the percentage of survival was high. Student enthusiasm for military was not very high at this time, perhaps because their uniform would never cause feminine hearts to flutter. The next issue of uniforms was still grey, but the authorities recognized masculine needs and supplied trousers. Public opinion thought that the wearers of these uniforms looked like the inmates of a reform school but when the cadets donned their thirty dollar dress coats they were often taken for gen- erals. In 1875 the West Point uniform was adopted with its two rows of bright brass buttons which made the shoulders of most anemic specimen look as wide as those of a blacksmith. These uniforms were blue with white trimmings and a reg- ular army coat was worn instead of a blouse and so did away with dress coats. This was the time of artillery units, student fire-departments and forage caps. These also were the days when the Cadets clamored for week-end hikes and patroUings of Mount Toby and when extra drill was given as punishment for delinquencies. Of all the branches of Military tried here at M. A. C. — Cavalry, Infantry, and Artillery — Artillery was the most popular. The cannon could always be used to make noise at all sorts of celebrations and meetings. As a matter of fact the cannon were so well-liked that the Amherst students frequently tried to borrow them without our permission in order to celebrate their victories. These acts of vandalism, of course, gave delightful opportunities for the students of both col- leges to indulge in free fights. These simple joys could not last forever for soon the World War came and with it kahki uniforms and frenzied preparations for overseas. In 1917 the mili- tary Department was organized as an infantry unit of the Reserve Officers Tram- IS 31 218 ing Corps. Too much cannot be said in praise of the wartime services of our students and faculty but the Memorial Building expresses this feeling much better than we can put it on paper. In the Fall of 1920 the R. O. T. C. was con- verted into a cavalry unit, and the students have been pounding the saddles ever since. At the present time only two years of military are required at the end of which time the student is able to function as a full-fledged corporal of cavalry. If a student desires, he can major in Military by taking an advance course which consists of two years of intensive study with a trip to Fort Ethan Allen between the Junior and Senior years. At graduation a military major is given a commission in the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps and is fitted to serve his country whenever called upon. They buried Private Higgins With his rifle by his side But instead of laurel wreaths — he got Demerits ' cause he died.
