' 2H ymm £2 4 under the benign influence of Christianity. —The Founders _ % 5 ADMINISTRATION s The President’s Message Till- UK is one word that describes the nim we have for every feature of the work of Crsinus College the word excellence. The ancient Creeks had such a 'word in 'otptrif which, especially in the Homeric age. meant the same thing. What that great word meant in Hellenic life, the word excellence should mean in our life. It should characterize the hopes, the ideals, the aims of every person who thinks and plans with reference to any part of our college work. Further, it should describe the deeds of I rsinus men and 'women. The thing done, be it the preparation of a lesson, a conversation with a friend, a forward pass in football, the eating of a meal, a bow before an audience -any deed whatever, let it be excellent. It profits one immensely to take a word like this as a sort of mental slogan. It ought to be engraven on the walls of one's mind, there to stand out as a mentor, a challenge and a standard every time one sets about to think or to act. How it would save the thinker or the doer from inferiority or even from mediocrity! Excellence keeps one in the realm of superiority, and in this realm we want the Crsinus man, be he student, professor, janitor or president, to live and move and have his being. IIV want everybody to be able to say without reservation or qualification that Crsinus is an excellent college. This means that we must have special tare as to ho'w buildings are planned and built, lurw they are kept and used, how the trees and shrubbery are arranged, lurw the grass is cut. how the farm and dairy products are grown ami delivered to the kitchens, lurw food is prepared and served, lurw the meals are eaten, what degree of health is maintained, lurw time is employed, ho'w mental energy is acquired and used, lurw vivid the imagination, ho'w clear the perception, how inerrant the memory, how dominant the will, how pertinent the questions, ho'w correct the answers, how excellent the teaching, how excellent the learning. Having a care for these and the other things which enter into our common life, we know that that which comprises all. the college, can be rightly described as excellent. In other words, excellence in every reaction, from its germination to its execution, is essential for true excellence in the life of any individual, and excellence in every individual is necessary to excellence in the whole body. See to it, then, that I'rsinus stands for excellence. The word itself is one of the finest in our language. It was employed by the translators of the Bible when they wanted to express the adoration of the psalmist as he contemplated the Deity “() Lord, our Lord, how excellent is 'Thy name in all the earth! . and again, the thought of Paul in the introduction to his great chapter on Charity, “And yet show I unto you a more excellent way.” Excellence is a word of noble lineage, great meaning and elegant usage. Let it become the watchword of Crsinus. (•HOKGIi LlvSMIC ()M VAKli t $ i s 7 wenty-lwo M -f -m, % GEORGE I.ESI.IK OMVVAKE, I’d. I)., Liu. I).

A braham Hunsicker, for the higher education of young, men. This school continued to flourish for twenty years, during which time more than four thousand young men 'were educated within its walls. In 1868. a body of men. moved by a desire to establish a college of higher learning, met in the city of Philadelphia and resolved to found an institution where the youth of the land can be liberally educated under the benign influence of Christianty. In keeping with this purpose they chose as the name of their college that of one of the great reformers and scholars of the Reformation period. I’RSIS US, of the University of Heidelberg in (ier-many, because in his teachings were embodied the principles and ideals that were to permeate the life and spirit of this new institution. These men set to work at once to obtain a charter, ami an act to incorporate Ursinus College was granted by the Legislature of Pennsylvania on February 5. 1869. 'he corporation was organized in Philadelphia. February U), 1869, and the Board of Directors immediately thereafter purchased the property of Freeland Seminary and opened the doors of Ursinus College for instruction. September 6. 1870. The College continued as an institution for young men until 1881 'when young women were also admitted, and since then Ursinus has taken her place among the co-educational institutions of our country. While the original barter besto'ws upon the College full University rights ami privileges, it is the policy of the institution to pursue its work sir idly within the scope and sphere of a first-class college, leaving the work belo'w the college grade to the preparatory and fitting schools ami that above the college to the universities and graduate schools. Although one of the younger colleges of the state, Ursinus very early adopted the group system of study as a basis of her educational program, and the broad vision that those men had who at that time were shaping the policy of the institution is attested by the fact that today the group system, in more or less modified form, is found in vogue in most of the colleges and universities not only of the state but throughout the entire country. The faculty is composed of men and women who have been trained in the best universities in this country and abroad and are chosen because of their character, scholarship and teaching ability. Ursinus has always maintained a high standard and kept pace with the advancement of higher learning and scientific investigation. 1 he College is democratic in spirit and progressive in her educational policy. Evaluated by the standardizing educational agencies the college ranks A in grade and her graduates have always given a good account of themselves in every field of activity and service. The institution is religious, but non-denominational, Christian, but non-sectarian. Dean W. A. Kmne Twenty-four t Dean of Women’s Message Till! position of Dean of II'omen has been in existence at I'rsinus College for only one year, lint in introducing it, I'rsinus is in line with the prod ice of other standard institutions, many of which have in addition to their academic deans, deans of men as well as deans of women. The prevalence of such officers implies for them a recognized sphere of usefulness. The Dean of Women is a connecting link between the Administration, the faculty, and the students, and so should be of assistance in welding them into a united whole. Her relations with the Women’s Self-Government Association, the moving force in the social and governmental activities of the women students, are therefore close. In the achie'eements of this organization she takes pride; for all its activities she has a sympathetic interest. She recognizes the Young Worntn’s Christian Association as a potent factor for good, and with it, and with all other valuable student undertakings, she gladly co-operates. She represents also the world of women college graduates 'who are today sharing in many and diverse interests. She brings to the undergraduate a contact with these experiences, and information which may be of value to them in planning their own future vocations. The Dean of Women at I'rsinus College desires earnestly to meet the primary requirement of her position, to be of use. She hopes to establish with the girls of the college relations based upon mutual confidence, understanding, and respect, so that they may work together, with patience and goodwill, for the physical, mental, and spiritual health, for the happiness, and for the success of the I'rsinus woman.

The success of the financial effort of the past fall makes this fact a certainty. o longer must I rsinus be bound by the limitations of inadequate buildings and insufficient endowment. No longer must she suffer from lack of first-class equipment and personnel. Pile needs of I rsinus have Ixcn noted by the many friends of the institution. The call has gone forth. A generous response has liccn made. And now the needs are to be supplied in full. The program contemplates first of all a SCIKWK WILDING. The lack of an adequate building for instruction in the sciences has long been felt. It is the most pressing need of the college at the present time, and for that reason heads the list of needs to be supplied. The new Science building will occupy a position on the west campus of the same relative importance as that occupied by Bombcrger Hall on the east campus. As Bom larger will always stand for that which is best in the Arts, the new building will stand for the best in the Sciences. The two will thus be twin monuments to learning and culture in all their purity. An additional dormitory for men is now assured. Present dormitory space is wholly insufficient, as was especially evidenced this year when a score of men were forced to seek accommodations in town. The I'rsinus ideal has always l ccn dormitory life for all students, and this will again lie possible with the building contemplated. The new men’s dormitory will be located to the north of the plot of ground on which Olevian Hall now stands. JUST BEYOND THIS SIGN SITE OF THE NEW SCIENCE BUILDING YOUR CONTRIBUTION IN THIS CAMPAIGN WILL HELP BUILD IT NOVEMBER URSINUS COLLEGE MONTH HELP SUPPLY THE NEEDS or this GROWING INSTITUTION Thirty 1 % a $ k 9 $ a 5 a $ a s a s a a The need of a Women’s Building has been keenly fell for some time. This is now to lie supplied, and, like the men’s building, will be constructed in sections, after the modern method. The Women’s Building will stand east of the Alumni Library Building beyond the drive, in line with the Hockey Field. It will provide for the ever-increasing enrollment of young women, and will give the “co-eds an up-to-date dormitory dwelling. Instead of two infirmary rooms located at different parts of the campus there will now be one large central Infirmary housed in a building of its own. There will also lie a Music Hall to take care of the growing work in voice culture and instrumental music. Present gymnasium and athletic equipment will be improved and enlarged. The heating plant as at present constituted will be relocated and extended, and a sewage disposal plant will be installed. Needed repairs to all equipment will likewise be made. These improvements, together with the enlargement of the capital endowment to bring the amount up to a total of $500,000, will place I rsinus College in a position where she can say to the community and to the world at large: “We’re second to none: we’re entitled to a place with the best.

A few more months and our four years of varied college life will l e at an end. The real earnest years of life will l� e upon us, and we w ill have larger and greater problems to face. Probably there is no experience in life so interesting and enjoyable as these four years. In the fall of nineteen hundred and twenty-two, ninety Freshmen were entered as the class of '26. 'I'he history of the class is written on the campus, on the athletic field, in the recitation room and in the alcoves of the library. Hardly had the college year begun until we proved our strength by winning the tug-of-war from the Sophomores. Put soon our minds were turned to something more important: the Freshman Banquet. Many secret class meetings were held which culminated in the banquet held at the Hotel Lorraine in Philadelphia, November 6, 1922. The Frosh-Soph football game ended in another victory for ’26 and our strength in athletics was firmly established. The climax of our first year was reached with the Prosit-Junior Shine. The Thompson Memorial Field Cage was the center of festivities, and we could easily imagine ourselves as participants in a real Dutch festival in old Holland, so great was the Dutch atmosphere created by the w indmills, (lowers and booths. At the cremation exercises it is hard to say whether we were glad or sorry at the loss of the Frosh button, red dink and (lowing tie. Fpon our return to school for our Sophomore year we were somewhat dismayed to find that several of our number had not returned. This fact, however, seemed to unite the remaining members with closer bounds of fellowship. W’e imparted sound advice to the Freshmen and gave them the benefit of our experience.

The J unior play, “Arms and the Man, by Bernard Shaw, was given in May. About the same same time many Juniors were busy finding material for the Junior Oratorical Contest, which was held the latter part of the same month. 1'hat our career as Juniors was almost at a close was shown by the election of members of the class of '26 to head the various organizations. As Seniors we have continued to maintain a high mark of scholarship and college fellowship. The end is rapid I approaching. Our history as a class is finished and our history as individuals is about to begin. The members will be found in the various walks of life, and our best hope is th.it we may all be as successful in our chosen lines as we were in college, thus reflecting credit upon the class, the faculty and our Alma Mater. What was worth accomplishing we endeavored to accomplish well. May we carry the example with us into the dim future. Lkna Mae Caki. $ 9 9 I Forty-nine Class Prophecy I Mill Florida ('.old Rush was a thing of the past but occasionally the good and bad luck of some of the well-known adventurers filled in the crevices of many a conversation. “Yes, that’s where ‘Gump’ made his millions. concluded the Big Bear, also known as “Jim Hunsicker, formerly of I rsinus. ’26. The second Bear sometimes called Yaukey was asleep at this time and did not hear the remark. So the Little Bear, “Browie Stafford, answered. ‘Gump’ worked pretty hard for his million. If I had stayed at college a little longer I could have easily become a rich man by selling chapel seats.” The Big and Little Bears relieded on this lack of perseverance which soon put them to sleep. Because of the growth of ('rsinus, due to the campaign of 1625. ( ollegeville had developed into a nourishing suburb of Philadelphia and here we find the Three Bears just mentioned comfortably settled in their bachelor apartments. As yet no Goldylocks had dared to cross their doorstep for fear of being chased out the window. The Bears knew all the latest news of I’rsinus because Yaukey had become the Librarian. His fame as a whisperer had gained him this responsible position. And then Kvans, the coach, dropped in the apartments several evenings a week to play Casino. The college was in very good condition and from all indications would soon become a university. The Girls’ hockey team defeated Temple every year with Mary Schaeffer as the coach. Mandy Kern, the dietitian, served such appetizing meals in the dining room that the tea room was forced out of business. Kdna Harter, who was noted for her tact and good nature during her college days, had been called back to serve as preceptress of the new Girls’ Dormitory. The list of professors was increased by the names of Oberholtzer and Schoenly and at this time Dr. Gun net was the college physician. Although the Three Bears spent a very peaceful life in ('ollegeville, there was always plenty to occupy their time and if they wanted to hurry to Philadelphia or New York. Gyp Sterner’s garage, where each kept a speedy car. was only a block away. When a quiet evening at home was not in order the Bears went to the ( ollegeville Hfty t % t i t $ e $ e 5 e $ e $ movies, where Alice Miller, a former classmate of theirs, played the organ. Idle last time they had been at the movies the news reel had disclosed some very interesting facts. Lena Carl and Phebe Cornog were sailing on the S. S. I.acarno to participate in the Olympics, and on the same boat were the Misses Watkins and Shutack, both orators of great note in the l .S. (?)and representatives in the World Court. Mr. I)avid Stevenson, a financier famous in Wall Street, for some unknown reason, was sailing for France in search of a much-needed rest. The news reel also included Derk in action as a star pitcher with the Pittsburgh Pirates and a group picture of the I'rsinus Freshman Class. It was Old d imers' Day and Chester Brachnian. Candy King and benefactor, was presenting each Freshman with a box of chocolates in honor of the occasion. After the movies friends would greet the Bears and talk over old times. Klwood Peters was the most frequent of these. I pon graduating he had found himself best fitted to become a miller’s aide, so had accepted a position in (darner’s mill near Collegeville. Sydney Myers and Fdna Grebe were teachers in Collegeville High School and went to the movies when there were not too many papers to correct. lhe Bears devoted some time to contemporary literature and Yankee would bring from the library philosophical works by Brenner and Pent , and collections of Mr. Nelson’s works. Mr. Nelson had become a w ide-read poet, l he Little Bear read every copy of “Vanity But Not Fair. in w hich MacDonell Koehm wrote and illustrated a column entitled, “W hat to Do, Wear and Say. The New York Times, now edited by Allen Harman, came to the bachelor apartments every day. Idle Bears accompanied by Coach Lvans drove to Philadelphia to see all the big hits of the season. “Speed Slifer was a successful musical comedy producer and Dorothy Hamilton was always engaged to star in his best productions. Madam Threapleton spent her time as a teacher of interpretive dancing and brought Ruth Kulp to fame as a toe dancer. Of course, ('.us Welsh and Kit Sliipe were among the most popular tragic actors and actresses of the day and Winnie” Derr was a very popular attraction on Keith’s circuit, having made hypnotism her specialty. Idle Bears had many old friends in musical circles. I lie Philadelphia Orchestra was led by (diaries Hoerner and Margaret Flily had become a much sought after accompanist. Idle programs of the Swarthmore Chautauqua gave the names of Maxwell Paine, soloist, i % t % $ t 5 t $ e and Agnes Humphries, pianist. Mildred Barth was a supervisor of music of the public schools of Philadelphia, having preferred this to the teaching of t he classics. Other I rsinus graduates of the class of 1926 were to be seen in the city. Helen Walbert held the position of Secretary of the Central Y. Y. C. A., and from her could be obtained the latest word from Harriet Smith, who was a missionary in China. Rev. Welker occupied one of the largest pulpits in the city. On one occasion the Bears had dinner with the well-known chemist. Walter Molitor; George Kirkpatrick. Superintendent of the Public Schools of Conshohocken; David Kern, a successful salesman; and Calvin Pranken field. who had just been asked to manage a campaign at I rsinus to raise funds for an Astronomical Observatory. “Davy Kern said he had just Ijcen to a dentist who had as his assistant, “Peg Miller. Her famous giggle kept the patients in good spirits and sometimes was used as laughing gas. A ring at the doorbell brings us back to the bachelor apartments and Yaukey awoke to see Coach I'.vans entering for an evening of Casino. After arousing the Big and Little Bears the four gathered around the table and the well-worn deck of pasteboards are once again shuffled.

Certainly, he will leave no unpleasant memories behind him when he departs from Ursinus, and we shall always remember him as good-natured, scrupulous, and faithful “Jimmie.” James intends to enter the teaching profession and we feel sure that his ambition and abilities will take him to the pinnacle of success in his chosen field.

But here we have an individual who has crystallized them into a whole and added to it a very pleasing personality. It would Ik unfair to delve into the past of this young lady because you would not believe it anyway. A quiet, demure young lady from the wilds of Chester County has been metamorphosed into a genuine college student in this restless age. Being a naturally conscientious creature. Lena buried herself among the books of wisdom during her first year, but since that all has changed, Lee still maintains her high scholastic standing, but doesn't miss anything. As an athlete at I'rsinus Lena is without a peer. She won a varsity berth on both hockey and basketball teams in her Erosh year and lead the hockey team this | ast year through a very successful season. One of the big points in favor of Lena is that she refused to accept the “small town concept of social relations existent at I'rsinus. Although she may lx seen lingering longingly at the |x� st office daily awaiting foreign mail, she never misses a social event. We have little fear that this accomplished young lady will find herself in the rut in which so many feminine pedagogues find themselves. “The very best ami sweetest is being in tune.” Sixty PI I KB E CORXOG PHFBK” Itiian, Pa.

His ability and leadership in basketball aided considerably in the success of the season of 1924-25. As a baseball pitcher he is supreme and our stall hxiks deplorable without him. And, in addition, he has always been a tower of strength in the backfield of our football team. But besides athletics, Derk has served on the Men's Student Council, and due to his fairness was elected president of this organization in his Senior year. As a student Derk has done good work and, when we consider the other activities in which he has participated, we can scarcely realize that it is possible for one individual to |H rform the tasks he has mastered. The answer is clean living. This factor enabled him to keep in the best of physical condition which indeed was necessary in order to confront the difficulties he has faced and emerge victoriously.

You must know that beneath her quiet and reserved manner there is a fun-loving dis|iosition that seizes every opportunity for laughter. But sometimes we wonder if Agnes really enjoys talking frivolously in spite of her femininity for she asks: “Isn't conversation a I lore? At any rate, her radiant good nature is an ever-increasing source of wonder to her friends and cont-I anions. But books as well as people are her companions. And yet do not imagine that reading plays so large a part, that there is not time for other activities. Agnes is a loyal Schaffite, and her winsomeness has made her one of the society's favorites. Even athletics have made a demand upon her time and interest. She proved herself a valuable asset to the class lux-key teams and also obtained a letter for hiking.

Life in its manifold streams of action sometimes brings us into contact with individuals who make an indelible impression upon the retentive potentialities of our memories.

While at I 'rsinus he has | crpetuatcd a characteristic of those descendant from the Emerald Isle, for it was behind the closed doors of council chandlers that his influence was greatest. If we should judge George's future achievements by his accomplishments in Zwing, in class activities, as an orator, in Math group, and as Varsity football manager, our conclusions must converge on SUCCESS in whatever profession he chooses as his life work. “A little knoudedge is a dangerous thing, Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.” Seventy-six RUTH ALICE KULP ••RirmiE” kui.imi:” Pottstown, Pa.

As a leader of sketches, and as a |Mrtici|Miit in musical skits, Ruth has been most outstanding in the society. Her service in that organization is an example of her sincerity. During the early part of her college career, Ruth had talked of taking up the nursing profession. We have no doubt that she would make a splendid nurse, !� ccausc of her patience, common sense and natural ability in such work. Then, too, Ruth has thought of teaching. But no matter what she undertakes we feel sure that she will make a success of it. A happy disposition and capable mind like hers lead only to such a goal.

To have seen and known her then one would hardly recognize the Alice of today, books surely proved to he deceiving in the course of her four years at Crsinus. Alice never could see the sense of ‘‘lights out at ten-thirty, as that was her busiest time of the day. One walking through the hall at that hour could usually smell either tomato soup or bacon or hear the rustle of jxaper coming off a |xackage from home. Then, too, this was always her correspondence hour. One of Alice's most recent accomplishments is that of impersonating a gnome. Ever since the ( ageant held in her Junior year she demonstrated that if she does not enter the teaching profession there will always be a position awaiting her as a contortionist. In addition to her pleasant nature, Alice also has a serious side. She is interested in various phases of college life and whenever an important committee is appointed “Allic is usually a member.

The best way to know her is to associate with her and become acquainted with her pleasant | crsonality and all that it carries with it. Peg has never said much about the line of work she expects to follow after graduation from Crsinus, for she seldom worries about future problems. However, she has indicated that she may enter the teaching profession.

It was not long until our Freshman Class became acquainted with this soft-spoken, quiet person, and since then our estimation of him has increased until in his Senior year, he is considered one of the finest young men on the campus. Walt was interested in chemistry and naturally signed up in the Chcm-Bi group. But although his interest in chemistry has not diminished, his ideas for the future have changed, and so we find him transferred into the Business Administration group. But still he has pursued his studies in chemistry and for the jxtst three years has served as the assistant laboratory instructor. Perhaps it is due to his congeniality in the lab, his ready smile for his friends, and his willingness to lend a helping hand that he has become highly res|x ctcd. 11 is popularity gained for him the position of baseball manager in his Senior year, and if previous indications mean anything he should Ik- successful in this role, as well as in his future life’s work.

Not long after the class of '26 became safely established at Irsinus, we noticed a shy, brown-haired girl, who after each class slipped silently to the day study. Sydney didn't take much time those days to chat with the rest, but she soon outgrew that tendency. Since then many of us have found her to be a true friend and one always willing to help. “Syd comes to us from Doylestown High School. If you want her to forget her shyness and reserve just suggest that Doylestown may not be the finest town located in Pennsylvania,—we even venture to say in the whole I nited States. During the last |Kirt of her Junior year, Sydney grew tired of watching I rsinus from olT the campus, so in May she moved to South Hall. Here she soon made friends with the girls, and they felt keen disappointment when she decided to spend her Senior year in Olcvian. If we were to sum up Sydney’s characteristics, we would find loyalt leading the list. Loyalty to home, to school and friends.

Being out of high school for seven years before he entered college he knew what it was to buck up against the old world, and as he was more studious than the average lx y, scholastically he ranked among the first of his class at Crsinus. He was not a bit selfish with his knowledge, as he was always willing to give aid to others and helped to decide any problem or question which might arise. Ben was a loyal supporter of the class and willing to help out at any time. He played his part nobly in the Soph-Frosh football game and other class contests.

He is very fond of reading and examines books and magazines of many varied natures. Hence, he can converse intelligently on countless different subjects, lie is especially interested in history, in which field he specializes. In addition, the success of the 1926 Rt iiv is partly due to the efforts of Olxrrholtzer, who was an associate on the editorial board.

This fair lady came to us from Mood College at the Iteginning of our Senior year. As soon as she placed a foot on the campus she l egan to make a host of friends. One can always tell Mary when seeing her on the street by her stride. From this one is able to conclude that she is good in athletics. Already she has shown her skill in tennis and hockey. From her records at Hood, we find that she belonged to the Athletic Board, Risked all team, baseball team, and tennis team, of which she was manager. Rumors says Mary was very good in dramatics. She l elouged to the Dramatic Club at Hood College and took jwrt in several plays. We have discovered musical talent among Mary's abilities also, which proves an advantage in the contralto section of the Women’s ('.lee Club. “SchaefT has wit and vivacity and she has adopter! Crsinus as her own, which makes all Seniors vote her a heart-felt welcome. She has demonstrated her willingness to assist the class by taking an active part in helping to raise finances for the Rriiv.

I laving graduated with honors in that high school, he entered Crsinus with the same determination and energy which characterized him throughout his early education. Schoenly soon demonstrated his ability as a student. Mis ambition and determination to stud have carried him through all of his trials and tests with Hying colors. He was able to seclude himself in some quiet corner whenever he wanted to study, and then to concentrate thoroughly u|X n his lessons. He was a very faithful occupant of the lil rary. in which he spent so much of his time that he was often mistaken for the librarian. Iti short, Claude believed in occupying all of his time usefully—working hard when it was time to work, and playing hard when it was time to play. Although he was not a participant in college athletics. Claude was an active moral supporter of all acti ities. His favorite hobby is hiking, and he is also an excellent swimmer. We have heard that Schoenly intends to become a business man—perhaps a great financier. We feel sure that his ambitions and energy will make all of his endeavors successful in future undertakings.

One need only glance at her list of achievements to see that there is not an activity in which Kit has not taken at least some part. Athletics, dramatics, singing, debating, art, Y. Y.—they are all there. Nor have her |«rts in these been small ones, for she enters into all things with a wholesome sort of vigor and earnestness which leads one to the top. Dramatics is by far Kit’s major. She has keen in the cast of every big production to which she was eligible and has l een the leading lady in four. Amounting to more than her achievements, however, is the outstanding personality of Kit herself. Whether she is at the extremity of gayety or seriousness, you always delight in her company! To know her casually is to admire her for things she does and says; to know her intimately is to admire her for her ideals and to treasure the true whole-hearted friendship she gives. In everything she does Kit is genuine and this quality, combined with her courage and talents, will inevitably earn for her the reward called Success.

During her Junior year she was an associate editor of the Weekly and distinguished herself for her conscientious service. In addition, Miss Shutack was one of the associate editors of the Kt nv. As a member of Schaff Literary Society she was a loyal and consistent worker. Julia was also interested in athletics, being a member of the Varsity hockey team. Her hard and consistent playing won a name for her, both in varsity and class athletics.

However, when once acquainted with Browic” one discovers a very likable personality beneath the phlegmatic exterior that he would assume for the outside world. ■■Bill’s” strong forte has l een athletics. Though but small of stature, with little previous experience, lie reported for football. Despite the handicaps, he earned for himself a varsity berth and since that time has played on the end. The managerial duties of basketball called him and he now holds forth in that capacity. For want of something to do in the spring he reported for baseball and cavorted a tout the field for the J- s. Contrary to all expectations, Willie is a musician of the- first order, singing in the Glee Club and accompanying the quartet. Dramatics also attracted his attention and lie featured in character jxirts. One of his most proficient lines is figuring. Whether it l� e matters concerning the women, politics, economics or the next move llunsickcr will make, matters little, lie’s got it down. Charles and William makes one think of two sweet little love birds, they are so different.

In the first place, he is of the quiet type and is more often seen than heard. Then, too, he has been a day student during his entire college career. This has resulted in his being on the campus only when engaged in the classroom or busy otherwise with college work. C.illierl was elected to the Men's Student Council in his Senior year, and as such has |X-rformed his duties faithfully. Sterner intends to coach athletics in some high school next year.

Although Davy is very quiet, his placid ness does not detract from his outstanding qualities of sound judgment, earnestness and friendliness.

Davy was graduated from Hazleton High School in the spring of P 22 and early fall found him on the Crsinus campus, where lie derided to prepare himself for a higher education. .winglian Literary Society claims him as a loyal and active memlier and during his Senior year he served as president. Economics demand most of his classroom time hence his keen interest in the E. and B. A. group, which organization selected him as their president in his Senior year. Athletics and social events have played a most ini|x rtant j art in his college career. Junior varsity f x tkdl games and class contests have found his clean, hard and spirited playing to lie an outstanding feature; and what social event, Ik- it dance, party, recital or play, occurred without his being present!

Doubtlessly, her greatest interest was manifested on the Women’s Student Council, of which she was an outstanding member for three years. In appreciation of the services she had rendered, Dorothy was elected president of this organization in her Senior year. Here she clearly demonstrated her executive ability and showed her qualities of leadership. In addition, “Dot was one of .wing's most energetic members.

However, woman's intuition told her that Ursinus had greater need and consequently we found her entering our halls in the ensuing fall. Ever since she came to this institution she has been one of the most active workers on the campus and there is scarcely a phase of college life in which she does not participate. However, Helen's | ersonality is felt most of all in the Y. Y. C. A. No one has been a more enthusiastic worker than she and it is due largely to her efforts that this organization has liecome important on the campus. Y ou may assume from the above account that Helen has only a serious and businesslike side, yet those who know her find a ready wit and jollity for every occasion regardless of where she may be. Helen always practices the slogan, Never for yourself, always for the other person. If this is the motto she will carry with her after leaving I'rsinus success is sure to follow.

Karly in her career she came into the limelight in SchafT through her outstanding ability as a reader. Klla | ossesses that rare gift of being able to completely submerge her own personality in that of the character portrayed. This ability was of inestimable value to her in the field of dramatics, in the SchafT play given in her Junior year her realist it characterization of “Tweeny, the wistful inbetween maid, won the heart of all and established her an enviable reputation as an actress. When the Junior Class presented Arms and the Man.” Professor (lawthrop chose Klla as his assistant coach. During her Junior year the Dramatic Club came into existence with Klla as one of its charter members. Yet Klla is not all serious endeavor. No one is more ready to join into fun and activity than she. But perhaps the quality which makes Klla stand out among us is her utter unselfishness, her faculty of seeing good in everything, her unlimited capacity for friendship with all. “She is sweet of disposition, loving, ivise and kind, Full of true affection, she cannot be defined.''

Nevertheless, even though his inclinations were aesthetic, he safely avoided the snares of the fleet-footed beauties, Ursinus fair co-eds. And as Chester has said, A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke. Welker likes to travel and has spent much of his four years here at college in traveling from Derr Mall to Stine. Chester is a graduate of Milton High School. After his arrival at Ursinus, he soon became an active meml er of the Xwinglian Literary Society. In his Senior year he was conferred the presidency of the Y. M. C. A. Chester also was a staunch pillar of support in the Brotherhood of St. Paul.

Three years ago there was planted in the fair groves of old I'rsinus, a stalwart seedling full of promise. With its one hundred branches it afforded us high hopes of growing to be a monarch in the wood. Timidly at first, yet proudly, too, the youth in life’s first spring reared its head among the older trees. Now when the violent storms assailed this youngest member the whole tree swayed a little, quivered, then braced itself against the slun k: the first examinations wrenched off a few of the weaker boughs. Later other storms of illness and financial difficulty lopped off their numbers. But yet the tree of ’27 flourished and waxed strong, thriving the more as it was pruned. A soft rustling in the branches, whispered murmurs, soon betokened the coming of the Freshman banquet. This convivial fete served as a common memory to bind the members of 27 together ever more firmly. On the proud branches of this tree were heaped a fair number of laurels, representing success in the many class activities, athletic and otherwise. The second year found the tree of 'll more firmly rooted, with a new confidence in its bearing. The Sophomores Welcomed ’28 in the traditional manner, lest it feel too superior. We won new honors with which to decorate our boughs, new responsibilities, deeper friendships to make college life more worthwhile. But always ’27 worked together, just as one plant in a nursery grows and functions uniformly. And now, since the second new tree has joined the ranks, ’27 finds itself older, wiser, ready for the greater pleasures and weightier tasks of campus life. It is often agreed that the third year in college is in many ways the best, and that may be true of ’27. The sap is rising in the veins we are come to the time of blossoming. As the flowering is profuse may the fruitage be abundant. One hundred seven 5 i Class Roll Clair E. Blum........................................................ York Merit needs no advertising.

It seems but yesterday that we entered Frsinus as Freshmen, with the earnest desire to do our part, and perpetuate the high traditions which were established by her loyal alumni. We pledged ourselves to climb onward and upward, to give the best we had for our Alma Mater. And so our endeavors became successes and our obstacles victories. On the morning of the opening day of school we put the pick of our class against the Sophomores in the tug-of-war. Although our men fought gallantly, the odds were against them, and they went down to defeat, fighting to the last second. The next event of importance was our Freshman banquet held at the Spring Mountain House. It was an event which will never be forgotten. With the sting of defeat in the tug-of-war still lingering in our minds the Freshman football team defeated the Sophomores and crowned themselves with glory. It was then perhaps, that we learned what was meant by “pulling together. The girls anxious to keep the laurels with the class, outplayed their second year opponents in one of the fastest hockey games played at I rsinus. Next the Freshman pentagon annexed the basketball victory, and with such marvelous success ended the first half of our first year. 'fhe second semester was a continuation of the first. We gave our all and received in return the feeling that we were a live part of the institution. And then came finals and we parted with the knowledge that our first year at Frsinus was one well spent. We are now Sophomores, all the above is past history and we must begin over again. With the same spirit that successfully carried us through the first year, we begin the second, knowing that unity crowns all endeavors with achievement, and knowing that obstacles and barriers are merely inconsequential trifles, that success is but one step ahead.

College activities seemed strange at first hut, nevertheless, they were mastered as they went on. The numerous duties imposed upon tlie Freshmen seemed rather hard at first, but the kindness shown us by other classmen rose above our tasks. ()n the morning of the first school day, a Frosh-Soph tug-of-war was held. This gave the I'rosli boys a chance to show their strength, and they certainly did, managing to win two out of three tugs. To overcome a class as mighty as the Sophs required a great amount of energy and spirit. The class possesses some fine football material, many of the men already proving their worth and promising great things for the future. Hockey lias been going along in a smooth manner and quite a few of the Freshmen girls have made the team. The first event for the Freshmen was the V. M.-Y. V. Reception. It made us feel that we were really a part of the college. Every one had a splendid time, and by a clever arrangement of the program, the new students met their future classmates. The Freshmen boys have some unique ways of getting acquainted with the Sophomores such as the entertainment on Freeland path. The girls have had I'rosli ( amp Call, Y. Y. Hike and Frosh-Junior Breakfast. The past history of the I'rosh at 1 rsinus has been brief, yet in every way indicative of the really big and fine things that we will intend to do. 5 J t One hundred nineteen e Ofcv 5 . liu.ni p.upitmf JU0 i 5 $ e Class Roll ahbic r. carter . .Consltohocken, Pa. lane k. carl Sell wen kville, Pa. alma r. wilson.................Milton, Del. laura m. welter .

A CfkV I TI E S GROUPS I t $ t $ e $ $ e $ e $ 3 19 2 0 a U B Y - - - The Group System IN ITS very infancy I’rsinus adopted the group system as a basis of her educational program. Although one of the younger colleges, it was among the first to adopt the system in this country. The forethought and keen vision of the men within whose hands rested the destiny of the institution is attested by the place this system now holds in the educational world today. Practically all the colleges and universities throughout the country have adopted this program, in more or less modified form, in their endeavor to offer the youth of the nation the greatest facilities for a liberal education. Specialization of education is only made possible by the group system of study. By this system, the courses of instruction are offered in carefully organized groups, each comprising dominant subjects which adapt the group to the intellectual tastes and the future purposes of the students, other prescribed subjects essential to a liberal education and required of all students, and elective subjects from which may be selected studies meeting the particular objectives of each individual. ICach with the advice and consent of his advisor selects his own course of study. This enables him to choose a major course and at the same time is enabled to supplement this major by a well-balanced group of electives. The group system makes possible a liberal education by keeping it within reasonable bounds. I’rsinus specializes in liberal education,” were the words of the internationally famous Dr. Kdwin Iv. Slossons, and so it does. I’rsinus College offers to the world the opportunity for a liberal education that is unsurpassed by any similar institution.

SilcilLER $ 3 9 I One hundred twenty-jive Al.TIlOir.H ihe social life of I’rsinus lias progressed very little within the |«tst decade, conditions are improving and indications point toward this necessary development during the next few years. The first dance of the year of 1925 came off with the same vigor and zest as had the new year resolutions. Dame Nature provided her most inclement weather, hut the joy-makers were not to lie nonplussed. I.eh's Syncopaters carried away all distractions through the medium of jazz. Prof. and Mrs. Harry Bretz were the guests of honor. The month of February was ushered out amid the gaycty of the Inaugural Ball. The Tennessee Serenaders provided the requisite syncopep. The patron and patroness for this affair were Dr. and Mrs. ( Vernon Tower. The March dance was the Student Council Baseball. Diamond vernacular provided some unique and appropriate names for the dances, from the initial Play Ball to the Nome Run. This dance was a regular reunion throughout for the Zwinglians who had returned to celebrate the anniversary of that venerable society. The chaperones for this affair were Prof, and Mrs. Harry Bretz and Prof, and Mrs. James Boswell. The April dance and the May Ball followed in close order and a wonderful June Night greeted the last dance of the season. It was the greatest success of the year, judging from the numlier of couples that failed to return after intermission, many missing the last dance. This momentous occasion was su|� erviscd by Dr. Elizabeth Brett White and Mrs. Mac Rauch. i October 3rd marked the first real social function of the new term. The opening dance was held in the cage and gave all an opportunity to liecomc acquainted. Dr. and Mrs. Ezra Allen and Prof, and Mrs. Ralph C.awthrop were the patrons and patronesses. C One hundred twenty-six Then came the Pirates’ Ball under tin- auspices of the .Senior Class. The cage was transformed into a pirates' den. Here to the melodious strains of the Lehigh Mountaineers, pirates with gypsy queens, Spanished ladies, etc., danced the hours away. Prof and Mrs. Frank I. Sheeder made their dehut as chaperones at this time. And so Crsinus authorities still permit the student governments to conduct dances once a month, that the social development of the students may not l e neglected. May Day May Day of 1925 was indeed a day of great celebration. The day started well with the grizzlies gaining a 6-0 victory over the Drexcl baseball nine. Immediately following the game the May festivities began in the College Woods. The woods laid aside its usual collegiate ornaments and surrenderee! itself to such folks as nymphs, fairies, trolls and goddesses. Miss McC.owan with her advanced class of Expression had devised an elaborate jwgeant. With a clearing for a stage and Nature’s own artistic tapestries for scenery one was transported to the land of makc-liclicvc. Miss Ethel PaufT, 25. who was elected May Queen, was the cynosure of all eyes. Her attire, her charm and winsomeness of manner made her the ideal heroine of the day. The opening scene found a court where the May Queen received her crown. Then a youth who is left behind when the court moved away awakes to find his life a beautiful, fantastic romance. I le meets, woes and wins a fairy princess. She is stolen by the wicked trolls, but not to be outwitted he obtains the aid of the Fairy Queen. The princess is rescued and all ends well. Dorothy Hamilton, ’26, and Gladys Park, '28, were the youth and princess respectively and furnished some of the loveliest dancing numliers of the pageant. It was all well planned with a distinct knowledge of artistic detail and pleasing effect. The elaborateness of the pageant made it an innovation. Its picturesqueness made it worthy of becoming traditional. The May Queen held sway that evening at the May Ball and with her attendant, Komainc Shoemaker, distributed appropriate favors. Lyceum Course When the Dcvereaux Company came to Crsinus the host took a half holiday. This company unquestionably furnished the liest entertainment ever given by a lyceum company. In the afternoon the company presented The Mummy's Earring, written by that ingenious Spanish dramatist, Joel Eschagaray. The play was a true tragedy and depicted the unhappiness wrought through the years by an unscrupulous Spanish noble. The plot and the lines of the play demanded an excellence of acting. Relying on the meagerest sort of scenery the company depicted the events realistically. The evening performance was entirely opposite in nature, for the numl er was the gay Barber of Seville, by Beaumarchais. The character portrayals in this, (urticularly the barlier, were done with clever insight. The Dcvereaux Company will not be forgotten for many long days. The college was very fortunate to have the opportunity to hear the distinguished Dr. Edwin E. Slosson speak on The New Conception of Science. The great scientist is at present head of the Science Service Institution at Washington, D. ( , and his wide experience and prominent position enable him to deliver a very interesting lecture. One hundred twenty-seven i HZ — — 19 2 0 au B Y dU Phidelah Rice, of the I.eland Powers School of Boston, closed the course, when he Rave “The Servant of the House.” During this |icrforniance he assumed eight different characters with the utmost smoothness and grace, interpreting them to | crfection. The Mac Dowell Concert Company gave a concert of the famous conqiosers finest and most appreciated works. The ensemble and solo numbers were very artistically interpreted. The Scottish Musical Coined} Company presented The Cotter’s Saturday Night. This musicale is based on the immortal Roliet Burns' famous | oem of the same name. The (plaint costumes and dialect added much to picturesqueness of the presentation and the high quality of the singing made it outstanding. Social Reminiscences of Frosh Days Kven the lowly I'rosh must have his (ling and the class of 1026 was not to be deprived of their due. The first social event of the year was the f reshman Banquet, which was held at the Hotel Lorraine on the rainy night of Novcmlier 6, 1922. Despite the weather conditions, the affair was a tremendous success. After the banquet the evening was spent in dancing to the strains of one of Philadelphia's leading orchestras. Many of the most pleasant memories, however, revert I Kick to the long journey home, as many lasting friendships were cultivated that still continue to exist to this day. It was in the spring of 192.? that the last of the memorable Shines were held. Imbued with a spirit to su|)crsede all previous efforts, the class began their efforts months before and when the festive occasion matured all were rewarded, for the greatest social function in the history of I’rsinus was credited to the class of 1926. In accord with tradition, the sister class was entertained at this gala celebration. An added feature was the presence of members of the Senior Class, who volunteered their service as waiters and waitresses in order that they might attend this glorious get-together. The cage was actually transformed into a miniature Dutch village. The sides of the gym were transformed into booths that took the shape of windmills in the miniature. At each end were found gigantic windmills built in conjunction with small cottages. The scene was enhanced considerably by the presence of a myriad of paper (lowers. The dinner that preceded the dance was lierfcct. The music for this gala event was furnished by the Regal Dance Orchestra, inq ortcd from Passaic, N. J , and who syncopated away all diverting thoughts. A typical April dowii]M ur did its lies! to dampen spirits, but aside from the menacing sag it caused the colorful crepe firmament, it detracted not from the greatest social function ever held at I’rsinus College. One hundred lwenty-eig il TlIK sixth forensic year at I'rsinus j� roved to Ik- one of the most successful in the history of debate at I'rsinus. Never in the annals of the institution did the debaters meet with so many successes or score so heavih in oratory. To Professor Martin W'itmcr goes the lion’s share of the honors for the great improvement shown in this particular field. It was by dint of his untiring efforts and sacrifice of time in the training of the teams that the college was able to achieve its present place in the forensic world. The Debating Club has In-en instrumental in the training of candidates for positions on the varsity teams. The early part of the year found only three veterans, but the early tryouts displayed some unusual talent. When the two teams were chosen we found llcigcs, '25; MerlK-r, '25. and .riffin, '25, with Harman. '26, as alternate, upholding the honors of the affirmative team. The negative team was rom| oscd of drove Haines, '27; C.eorge Haines, '27, and I’owell, '25, with K. Ilerlicr, as alternate. The question for debate was Resolved: “That Congress Should Have the Power by a Two-thirds Vote to Declare Kffective a l aw Which Had Been Pronounced Cnconstitutional by the 1’nited States Supreme Court. The first to fall before their arguments were the Temple teams in a dual debate. They repeated their victories at Juniata. The negative then defeated Klizabethtown, but the affirmative reserves fell victims. Both teams were forced to lower their colors to the strong Lafayette aggregation. The I'rsinus affirmative experienced little difficulty with MuhlenlK-rg and easily clinched their arguments. The forensic season was brought to a successful close when the teams broke even in a triangular debate with Albright and Bucknell.

The results of the work accomplished by this club can easily be seen when one notes the success of the last debating season. When the club met this year it was found that it was but a temporary organization, so definite steps were at once taken and the necessary committees were selected to effect a permanent organization. The club meets weekly, at which time current topics are debated. It gives inexperi-cnced debaters very valuable experience and helps to develop those who have never heretofore had an opportunity to go out for debating. The club fills a long-felt want at I'rsinus, as the so-called literary societies afford no opportunity to develop along the lines of forensics.

It did not have time to proceed far beyond the preliminary steps of organizations, but it was a nucleus for greater things. Meetings were held semi-monthly, at which time current topics were debated. However, it was too late to arrange for intercollegiate debates. Heretofore, only the men ap|)earcd in public debates. The women took part in the literary society debates, but after forensics had been practically dropped from these programs, no opportunity was afforded women interested in this particular field. It was only after a very forceful appeal was made to the faculty that the official sanction was forthcoming. Dr. Klizabcth B.

The most immediate and effective result derived was Tau Kappa Alpha. Supported unanimously by the faculty, the requests of the petitioners for this organization met with all due approval, and it now stands as one of the milestones of greater intellectual attainments at I'rsinus. It is with unusual interest that I'rsinus notes the advent of this organization on her campus, a nationally known and nationally accepted forensic fraternity. Not only has its innovation been an unexampled honor to those who have merited its mcmliership. but it has elevated the standard of our institution by giving it cognizance among those colleges and universities which are its members. When Athenian culture was proverbial and the students of ‘.recce excelled the world in the mastery of the arts and sciences they were presented with fitting laurels for their scholarship. The essential function of Tau Kappa Alpha is not dissimilar to bestow honor upon those who have attained marked ability in forensics by presenting to them the key and emblem of the fraternity. Thus it offers a stimulus for activity, a goal to be reached, an end to l e attained. The Charier Members: B. Wydiffe Griffin, ‘25; Howard T. Hcrl er, '25: Ralph lleiges, '25; Walter S. R.

He first represented I’rsinus at Lancaster in the Kastern Pennsylvania Oratorical elimination contest. Mere he won third prize and was one of three chosen to meet the three competitors from the Western Pennsylvania I'nion at Harrisburg. His exceptional ability as a speaker was proved when he won the championship of Pennsylvania and was chosen to represent this state .it the Kastern I'nited States Contest held at Monmouth, Illinois. As a result of this contest three men were chosen, of whom Griffin was one to take part in the National Oratorical Contest held at Kvanston, Illinois, t’rsinus was singularly honored inasmuch as it was the only institution from the state of Pennsylvania. Although Griffin failed to place in the national contest, he received honorable mention, which is quite an honor considering the situation. His oration was entitled, The Cry of the Children,” a plea to save the children from labor exploitation under which over a million arc oppressed. Junior Oratorical Contest A.

So it was that this game l ecame something more than playing, it liecamc an art, and they named it the drama. There is scarcely a community in which dramatics do not hold a treasured place and in a college community dramatics are unusually favored. This college has recently organized a club to specialize in that alone. Both of the literary societies celebrate their anniversaries with a large dramatic production and it has l ccomc the custom for each Junior ('lass to present a play. Besides this, minor dramatics are encouraged on the weekly literary society programs. A review of the plays given shows compositions from the jn-nsof the best authors. Nor is the acting done merely for the fun of it, but with real purpose and a desire to give nothing but the l est. Prof. Y. R. Gawthrop has contributed most of all to the furthering of dramatics, the absence of a special instructor he assumed the coaching of practically all the large productions and injected more actual art into them than was thought |K s$iblc under the limiting circumstances. Any cast can Ih- made to .act haphazardly and mediumly well, but it takes real ingenuity to make even talented amateurs act with projx-r feeling and a true interpretation of their respective roles. The pleasure and sociability of the acting, the insight into types of character, the technical knowledge of the accessories which make a scene, the contact with the works of the finest dramatists all make dramatics one of the most delightful and profitable school activities. Whether or not Shakes| eare was right when he called the world a stage and men and women players, it still remains that acting is one of the most fascinating games in life and they who endeavor to contribute to the art of it and the entertainment of | eop!e are not without an experience of rich reward. uawiiikop One hundred thirty-jour Dramatic Club President—Augustus Whlsii, ’26 Vice-President Cbokgk V.

The college has been favored with good acting talent, hut because this was neither concent rated nor carefully de elo| ed, the best that dramatics can give was not brought to the surface. It was only last year that those who felt the need most poignantly drew up a petition and secured faculty approval for the formation of the present club. The attempts to form the club were not entirely due to student activity. Its strongest advocate was Prof. V. R. C.awthrop, tin maker of all the big dramatic productions here in recent years. Prof, (iawthrop worked for it in a way that evinced his willingness and desire to make the dreams for the club come true. The other things that he has done for the drama at I’rsinus will live long in the memories of those who witnessed the plays.

This was selected as the Junior Class play. Excellent coiii| osition, careful costuming, appropriate scenery, combined with actual talent, made of it one of the best dramatic productions of many years. Raina Petkoff, a proud Bulgarian lady of temperament and sentiment and daughter of a doughty major, was the character around whom the action revolved. She was engaged to a chivalrous young officer. Major Sergius SuranofT, who was far better trained at the game of love than of war. Raina and Sergius carried on an amusing pretense of devotion until Then one night a Serbian fugitive and enemy unceremoniously entered Kama's boudoir to seek shelter. That fugitive, the most delightful of heroes, was Captain Blunt-s-.lili. a mercenary Swiss soldier, playfully nicknamed The Chocolate Cream Soldier” by the lady who saved his life. The next morning the Swiss left, wearing an old house coat of Kama's absent father and unconsciously taking the gift of Raina’s deepest admiration along too. Eater Rluntschli inopportunely returns the coat and his former questionable visit to the house is revealed to Sergius and Major IVtkofT. At the same time Sergius' secret love making to Eouka, Raima's maid, meets the scrutinizing eyes of publicity. I )isillusion-ment and quarrels ensue till at last all pretense is thrown aside. Sergius liecomes engaged to the servant, Bluntschli declares his love for Raina, and thus happily endeth the tale. Catherine Shi| e and Augustus Welsh played the heroine and hero parts with dramatic adeptness and realistic fervor. MncDoncll Koehm made the role of Sergius brilliant and fascinating. The character of his second fiancee was deftly played by Margaret Khly. Winifred Derr and Charles Yaukcy, as Madame and Major I’etkofT, furnished most of the humorous points of the play.

The student councils have reached just such a stage. For a long period the Faculty served as the disciplinary Ixxly of the institution, hut with the changing conditions came the idea of Student Government and I'rsinus College was among the first to adopt this progressive movement. It is true the councils have made many mistakes in their efforts to govern their fellow students in the ln st interest of the college, but we must consider that this idea is still hut a child and errors are bound to l e made, for none are infallible. However, much progress has l� een made and the councils, especially the Men’s Council, have drop| cd the arbitrary attitude of so many of their predecessors and are setting a precedent by their work this year. The entire student Itody realized that many of the old councils were not representative of the students and put men and women into these responsible positions who were truly representative of the sentiments of the majority. It is not difficult to recall the time when the members were elected to act as policemen, but now all is changed and we find the councils striving to accomplish some real constructive work and the disciplinary function has ! ccomc secondary. Gradually narrow and petty rules have been su| crseded by others of broader and saner scope. To obtain these concessions has l een a hard uphill struggle and there is still tremendous opportunity for improvement. The councils this year player I a prominent part in the Financial ('am| aign in taking care of the student participation in this large movement for a Greater I’rsinus.

Miss Kli .nl eth (lest, with her assistant. Miss Dorothy Ment er, have shown admirable results in the piano department. The skillful selections by the pupils at various times throughout the year, and es| eciully the recitals, are all indicative of thorough and superior training.

She made the vocal dc| artment more than a delightful side issue, she made it real and vital. The recent successes of the Crsimis Cilce Club in particular are the direct results of her intense and profitable efforts. “Music Hath Charms,” so the master poet tells us, and ever since music lovers have In-en declaring exactly how many charms it does have. No one place can claim to have a monoply upon them, nevertheless, this college has a decidedly generous share. The well planned and executed glee club programs, the dignified choir selections, the organ and piano recitals, the singing of campus songs, the classroom study of theory and works of the greatest musicians, all have their special charms. The serious and the gay standing side by side in rhythmical measure; technique and individuality fostered and encouraged together; the substance and spirit of music blended into one, have raised the musical standards of Crsinus until they have reached the heights. i ’ HARTBNSTINK One hundred forty-two 4 ? i $ PETERSON HICLEY HOAC.KV POLKY MKXTROIII OIKIIM KRASKLV DANNER LRVEXGOOD IIOERNKR PETERMAN OIIL SKINNER CI.LRIOI MOAGLAXD BU M WISLER 1IKNKRLS JONES SIERRR IIARTKNST1NE BRA UMAX YAIJKKY STAFFORD ROKIIM RISBING KIRKPATRICK GRIFFIN PAINE WELSH KIILV The Ursinus College Glee Club Director Jf.anettr Doroi.xs I Iartknstinf.

Regardless of what happens; misstatement or wrong interpretation of facts, criticism of existent conditions, omissions, et cetera, the editors are always to blame and the censure of much uncalled for criticism and the recipients of little encouragement. Practically every other phase of collegiate activity gives some recognition for the work of its mcml ers. but the journalistically inclined must In- content with honor and exjjericncc. This condition has had a tendency to discourage journalism at I'rsinus. The college publications have l cen handicapped by a dearth of staff material willing to make the sacrifice. Nevertheless, despite these handicaps, a small numlier of ambitious individuals strive dauntlessty to raise the standards of the I'rsinus publications in the hope that a Utter day may come for those who follow.

Grove Haines, '27 Secretary-Treasurer—Earl BURGUARD, ’27 THE Brotherhood of St. Paul was founded in 1905 by Dr. James I. Good, who was Professor of Church History in the college at the time. Since that time it has experienced a remarkable growth, due to its success in meeting the needs of the students for whom it was founded. Membership in this organization is limited to male students who are planning for the Christian ministry or some other form of Christian service. This organization was named after St. Paul Ix-causc in his life are embodied s � many of the principles and ideals which the Christian ministry must represent. His sincerity of purpose, his honesty, his love of truth and righteousness, his ability to adapt himself to all sorts and conditions of men, make his life an ideal pattern for others who would dedicate their lives to the service of Jesus Christ. Regular meetings are held, at which time well prepared papers and talks arc presented to the society by different members. The purpose is not primarily that of worship and devotion, but rather to make a critical and unbiased study of religion and the problems that issue therefrom. Truth is sought wherever it may be found, and accordingly the Brotherhood has allied itself with the Philosophic, Scientific and Classical departments of the college, and has received splendid co-operation from the heads of these departments. “The Search'' Music and Lyric by Margaret Kiii.y, '26 Many men have wandered, looking for the light, Searching, always searching, in the Quest of Right; Why cannot we help them, we have hopes sincere.

I'or, limiting their act i ities to no one definite field of endeavor, a variety of talent is brought to light. Here it is that many gain ex|x riencc for coaching plays by giving the well-known sketches and thereby gaining skill in carrying on the same on a larger scale. Members skilled along musical lines are ever in demand to add the “soothing quality to the program. Here special opportunities are open to all thus inclined, for there are few who can till the role of musical entertainers, but there are many who appreciate numbers well rendered. Those whose aims include operatic positions may receive their preliminary training under the critical influence of the society audience. Original story writers and capable essayists, |x els and rhymsters are always welcome and add to the variety of the programs. Besides giving information and presenting different views on current matters, the ingenuity of the writer is called upon to develop a style l oth clear and capable of holding the attention of the audience, which it must l e said is most exacting. Here may also l e included debating, a phase of literary activity that docs not hold a very large place on tin-programs since the organization of the debating clubs. Aside from the talent development factor, the one of real social intercourse is not overlooked. Here it is that campus acquaintanceships are developed and where a friendly and co-operative spirit prevails. All members work together to uphold the standard of the societies and help their progress, as well as to derive for themselves experiences well worth the effort put forth.

The ten students who assembled for this purpose, had in mind a new society for the furthering and developing of literary tastes and the art of public speaking, an ideal to which all Schafiites strive. They operate not only in their weekly meeting every Friday evening, but in the staging of an anniversary play, in which the talent and versatility of the members is best shown. And well may they strive to attain this higher goal, for the lofty standards of the man for which the society was named, Dr. Philip Schaflf, then president of the Union Thclogical Seminary at New York City, are seldom exceeded. With such an example before them, members of Schaff work, co-operate and strive to achieve to the liest of their ability.

The organizers had as their purpose the cultivation and development of those arts and talents necessary in the various types of public performances. To symbolize this aim, the name adopter! was that of a man eminent and energetic, with great faith and zeal in his teachings, the great reformer, Zwingli.

For a long period of time a spirit of discontentment had | crvadcd the ranks of the athletes, due to the miserable condition under which the men had to work. In order to bring the attention of the students, alumni and officers to bear on the situation it was deemed wise to effect an organization to present the cause. The result was the Varsity Club. It is the pur|x sc of this organization to perpetuate the interest in athletics and to develop a fraternal spirit among the athletes. Since that time the club has done much to enhance the liest interests of the athletics of the college. During the past two years there has l ecn little constructive work for the club to do, as many of its original functions were taken over by the no longer existent Athletic Executive Committee. However, the club supported or opposed issues presented before this committee and their decision was always a dominant factor. At present the organization is dormant awaiting tInaction of the all-powerful and controlling Athletic Council appointed by the Board of Directors. $ S a t One hundred sixty-three i 9 2 .. —— RUBY £JP The Ursinus College Alumni Association President Rev.

Skip|Kuk, Pa. Til 1C officers «� f I lie Alumni Association for the year 1924-1925 were the first ones to function under the provisions of the new Constitution and By-Laws recently adopted. Because of the lateness of the balloting, by which the election was held, it was impos-siblc for these officers to function in every detail prescribed by the Constitution. Bv a s| cciol action of the Executive Committee, the president was made the chairman of the Committee on Local Alumni Associations. This was practically the only feature of the work to which the president could address himself in the time that remained. The entire constituency of the Alumni was divided into eleven groups having their centers as follows: Harrisburg, York, Lebanon, Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Reading, Tamaqua, Chamt)crsburg, Lancaster, and the states of Ohio and New York. Reunions were held and organizations effected in all these centers with the exception of Reading, Lancaster, Tamaqua and Cliamtarshurg. Or. Omwake and the president of the Association attended all those held in Pennsylvania and delivered addresses. The most largely attended function was the one held at Philadelphia. The College C.lee Club attended the Bethlehem meeting and enlivened the evening with their songs and yells. The spirit manifested at all the gatherings, large and small, was excellent, and the organization was entered into with enthusiasm. The Greater Crsinus, with her opport uni ties as well as her needs, was One hundred sixty-jour 9 t 5 t emphasized on all the programs. Too much cannot lx; said of the loyal t and interest displayed on the part of those who prepared the way and made the necessary arrangements for the luncheons in the various centers. The officers returned from every meeting strong in the conviction that the alumni of I'rsinus form a loyal company, and that they arc friends upon whom their Alma Mater may call, and not in vain, for the supplying of every legitimate need. It is confidently l clicved that these local organizations will result in a more cordial relationship In-tween the college and her more than one thousand living alumni and former students. “For we, lx ing many, are one body, and several I members one of the other. The Alumni Athletic Club THK Alumni Athletic Club consists of about two hundred alumni and interested friends of the college, both men and women, who contribute a five dollar membership fee each year. The purposes of the club are: To foster a Ix-tter athletic spirit at I'rsinus through a more loyal spirit of co-operation among the students, alumni and friends of the college. To aid in improving the material equipment at the college including buildings, grounds and the furnishings thereof. To provide ways and means of making | ossihlc a college education at I'rsinus for men who otherwise would not have such an opportunity. In the last ten years the club has been instrumental in enlarging the social opportunities of the students. It has placed on the campus approximately twenty thousand dollars worth of improvements to the athletic plant, including the floor, grand stands and heating plant in the field rage and house, the additional ground for the athletic field and the stone, cinders and part of the labor on the track. It has provided for scholarships of varying amounts for alxmt thirty worthy students, who, with few exceptions, have been a credit not only to themselves but to the institution. It has been the means of bringing to I'rsinus new and helpful friends and by co-ordinating the interests and efforts of the alumni has offered them a medium through which their desires were made known effectively. Due to the unusual efforts of the club in completing the heating plant, this year has In-en given up to wiping out the indebtedness thus incurred and to doing all that is possible toward the completion of the track. The nature of its future projects will de| end on the urgency of the needs that present themselves. The Ursinus Woman's Club President Mrs. Bertha Shite Miller, ’05, Reading, Pa.

AT THE request of Miss Rhea Duryea and Mrs. Trinna F. Moser, I)r. Omwakc called a meeting of the women graduates of the college on June • , 1914. The purpose of the meeting was to organize the women graduates into a club. The name adopted at this meeting was the Women’s Graduate Association. The objects of the organization were to intensify the interests of women graduates of I'rsinus College, to promote the interests of the college, and to secure greater advantages for its young women students. One hundred sixty-live $ 2 6 a U B V lii 1917 tIn constitution of the organization was amended and the name changed to I'rsinus Woman's ( 'ltd . This provided for other than graduate membership and afforded graduates the opportunity to invite other women in various parts of the country to join the club and become interested in the college. The organizers of the club saw well into the future, realizing that I’rsinus must grow. These women had found the evident place which I'rsinus occupies in the educational world and in the benefits which it confers upon the community the right incentive for promoting its further growth. In brief: It has provided a physical director for the women students; it has donated the furnishings for the Y W. C.

Each has been, as it were, a milestone in the progressive journey. The past editions are records of what we have been; the present, of what we are; all, bearing the prophecy of what we shall be. Embedded in the facts which they portray is that something too line for articulation the spirit that is peculiarly Ursinus. We are beginning a new era in Athletics. That spirit which is characteristically Ursinus is coming to the fore, bearing the prophecy of that which it shall some day unveil. At no time in her history were friends truer than now, or more sincere in their desire and effort to aid her. It is an era of great things. Big things are expected of her, and we who share those expectations must think big and by virtue of a larger vision attract that which is her due. So longer can we be satisfied with the small and inconsequential. Our antecedents argue well for the ability to grasp the greater opportunities. IIV will grasp them. There has been a lapse in athletics; a lapse that was but a pause in 'which forces were gathering for expression. There was born then a felt-need, and felt-needs are always summons to effort, the challenge to conquer, an impetus to move onward and upward. IIV are meeting that challenge. Ursinus scholastically and athletically shall finally stand upon the pinnacle of true and merited success. Is this but a dream? Remember, then, that dreams are the stuff of which life is made, for dreams are thoughts, and thoughts are things. The great bridges that span our rivers were first dreams in the mind of man. spanning, as it 'were, the river of desire and finally connect i ng thought with reality. 1 he or no merits of bea uty wh ich adorn the groves of nature were first dreams; the country we call ours was once a dream in the land of ideal. Dreams make the ideal real, for the law of nature is that no force shall be 'without expression, and dreams are forces. Let us dream aright. Let us grasp the spirit of the new and think rigorously along lines of great achievements. Then will the force of high thinking, and the power of large vision swing the soul of old Ursinus out of the orbit of the small into the great sweep of things noble and 'worth while. William Wallace Bancroft, Graduate Manager of Athletics 40 One hundred sixty-nine i -'■a -y aUBY T The Coach’s Message A TIILKTK’S at Ursinus during, the past ten years have been far beneath that which all supporters of Ursinus would have them be. With the nrw athletic system, it is expected that Osinas can lift herself to a position which she at one time held among the colleges. IIV hope that this may be the case. The college itself is expanding and with this growth it is only natural that the athletic prowess proceed simultaneously and in proportion. Our schedules show that we have stepped considerably higher in the athletic realm a position which we must strive to maintain and which with the necessary co-operation from the Ursinus group we can maintain. It has been said that our schedules are too difficult. This may be true, but were we to revert to the weaker institutions, we relegate ourselves to an inferior position and we feel that until the time that Ursinus strengthens herself athletically to meet the caliber of schedule which she plays, it is far better to lose to many teams on our schedule than to win from a group of institutions of a lower caliber from which we do not even derive publicity. To those who think we have bitten off more than we can handle, wait. It will undoubtedly require two or three years for the development, but that development will come. Here's for a bigger and better Ursinus athletically. Ronald C Kk hunk, Director of Athletics One hundred seventy v J i Football Season of 1925 T11K record of the 1925 football season, were it to be submitted or pro-pounded toothers, would not make a very credit able showing, especially if it were to be placed side by side with the spirit and expectations of the students and friends. For out of the nine conflicts in which we engaged, only two resulted in victories and one of them ended in a tie. Numerous reasons have been advanced for the failure of the eleven, but as to just which one is correct still remains a mystery. But regardless of what is said it is an acknowledged fact that the schedule played was exceptionally difficult and one is safe in saying that with one exception the team was beaten by better elevens'. Then again a new regime was taking over the reins and a transition period must follow during which the sailing is rather difficult. PENN With prospects bright and hopes running high, we journeyed to the Quaker City on the 24th of Septenilter to aid the sons of Father Penn usher in the football season of 1925. There, before a crowd of 45,000, the mighty Bears of old I'rsinus fought tenaciously every inch of ground gained by the heavy artillery of Penn. Steadily Penn gained ground, and with the help of many fumbles, were able, Indore the final whistle, to cross the goal line six times. We were able to do little offensively because of Penn’s heavy line and fast backs. Had it not, however, been for our gallant defensive work, the white mark which designated our goal would have In-en trampled by the wooden-cleated shoes more often. The fight displayed in this game gave courage to the hearts that were doubtful of the ability of the Red and Black team and paved the way for victory over Schuylkill the following week. klKkl-.Wkll k One hundred seventy-three SCHUYLKILL (•otting off to a bad start, and handicapped by the heaviness of the opposing team, the bears crawled out of the hole at the fourth minute and turned an otherwise defeat into a timely victory. Schuylkill started off with line plunges, and at the end of the first quarter, had advanced to within our five-yard line. In the first few minutes of the second quarter. Quarterback White took the ball over for the first tally of the game. It was then that the Kichlinites buckled and held, gaining strength with the waning minutes, began the offensive, crushing the heavy line liefore them. The third quarter registered no different score, but steadily the battle line neared the enemy's territory. Then in the early minutes of the fourth, Millar passed across the goal to Stafford, registering our first touchdown. A few minutes later this feat was duplicated, and the ball sent between the goal | osts by Millar's toe. The score ended, 13-7. STAFFORD DKRK BVAKS One hundred seventy-four k 9 9 k 9 i 9 « 9 ft I I 9 ft If DELA WA RE Perhaps the saddest defeat meted out was the jieculiar beating received at the hands «f the Delawarians. Although outplayed at every stage of the game, the Xewarkians were able to fall for all the breaks of the game, and to win by the margin of 4 points. The Bears, by force and strategy, easily’pushed the enemy toward their own goal line, but as they closed in upon the last stronghold, and were ready to graspa six-pointer, they fumbled, and Coppock of Delaware snatched up the oval and ran to his own ten-yard line, where he was brought to earth from behind, ('liable to gain a yard. Creamer dropjied back, and with a quick sweep of his accurate foot sent the ball lie tween the posts for a three l ointer. Another costly fumble in the third quarter paved the way to the Xewarkians’ second score. For, it placed Creamer once again in position to drop-kick from the 25-yard line. Three more |x ints were consequently added. The Bears’ two points came in the third quarter when they had marched to Delaware’s five-yard line. Here they lost the ball on downs. Creamer then, realizing his own limitations as a punter, and the strength of our team, had the good foot I all sense to touch the ball for a safety behind his own goal line. Although fighting gamely, old Crizzly could gain no more. JUNIATA Starting out as if they would score at will, the Red, Old Cold and Black warriors in short order crossed their opponents’ goal line. Bull Smith plunged forward time and again, and had soon placed the ball on the five-yard line, only to have the Blue and Gold hold. Starting again from midfield, Smitty once more tore the Juniata line to pieces, placing the ball in a few plays, on the other side of Juniata’s goal line. Millar drop-kicked the extra point. In the second quarter, Derk plunged over for a second touchdown. Juniata, with her back to the wall, in the dying minutes of the quarter, fought desperately, and succeeded in breaking through and blocking one of Millar’s punts, while Kelly touched it back of Ursinus’ goal for their only score. They missed the point kick. The fourth quarter netted another six pointer for us, during which time the Bears were not once in danger. Game ended, 19-6. One hundred seventy-five 1 9 2 GEORGE HV1SIIIXGTON In a sea of mud equalled only by the battlefields of France, George Washington strived vainly to do away with the lighting Grizzly. Arriving on the ground fresh from a string of victories, the latter of which 1 icing a 7-3 decision over Mount St. Mary's, they were determined to lay low the growling bear. Being greatly outweighed the clever growlers outwitted and out played the Presidents time and again. The scene of Untie swayed from one end of the field to the other, while victory hung in the balance. In the second quarter the Kichlinites pushed within the liorders of the two-vard mark, but were unable to force the ball over. Likewise, the Presidents in the third | eriod, marched the ball to our five-yard line, but were stop| ed there by a stone-wall defense. The fourth quarter found each team slipping in midfield, neither side living able to procure any decided advantage. The final whistle decided that it would be called a tie. GETTYSBURG It was (Gettysburg that turned back the Army of the Confederacy and s|� cllcd defeat to tin- South, and so it was Gettysburg that subdued the growlers and prepared them for their long series of defeats which was only stopped by the closing of the season. Again a wet field was a handicap, and with the soldiers equipped with mud cleats, and I'rsinus lacking them, the result could almost be predicted before the contest. The first quarter, owing to misplaced kick by Millar, found Gettysburg with the hall on our 38-yard line. The next play, a forward to Spangler, enabled the latter to cover the remaining distance to our goal line. Fighting desperately, the Bears tried tochcck the cruel onslought and were successful for the second | criod. But the third and fourth found them retreating before the charge of Gettysburg backs. Wells and Spangler of the Soldiers gained ground consistently, and before the end of the game were allowed to chalk up four touchdowns. The score ended, 27-0. One hundred seventy-six % ft ft 9 ft 9 ft 9 ft ft 9 ft 9 ft i ft SWART II MORE Once again the little (Quakers sank deep their poniards into the tough lleshof the College ville iri .zlies. Forced to play a defensive game throughout, we did not get even within striking distance of the Garnet’s goal. Stan Moyer, the star half of the I’rsinus 1923 team, was back in the game for the first time this year owing to an injured leg, and played a fine defensive game. Yaukey, at one moment, provided a thrill when he snatched a Swarthmore fumble and ran for a touchdown, but it so happened that this thrill did not last long, for he was called back on the claim that Swarthmore had possession of the ball when the whistle had blown. Captain Wilcox then opened up his offense, and with ease, but hindered by fumbles of his teammates, soon placed the ball over the line. In the second half they repeated, and added one more point, when Seymour kicked the goal. The score was 13-0. FRA.XKU.X AM) MARSHALL If I '. M. is beaten the season is a success, so say all Crsinusites. Rivals to the very core, each season finds the gridiron a bloody battlefield. It was in 1923, when Sammy” ICckerd sent the spirits of l;. S: M. low. Dropping back to the 50-yard line, his educated toe lifted high the oval and sent it squarely I ctween the standards for the only s ore of the game. Determined to erase this ignoble defeat, F. M. put into the game everything she had. It was on her field that we played. This team, Ik) urn I together by co-operative effort and unity of purpose, could not be stopjx-d. Consequently we, weakened by previous defeats, and a growing internal dissension, were ripped to pieces by this sti|H‘r machine, and were sent home with a score of 20-0 against us.

The final score was 44-0. This was the last game of college football that 1C vans, Dcrk, Yaukey, llunsicker and Stafford would eve r play. As Seniors, playing their final game, they will all be remembered for their glorious defense of their Alma Mater. Although the season was unsuccessful, results have caused to Ik- brought about certain changes which were long needed.

The few games that had to Ik handed to opi o-nents were done so only after a hard battle and by very close scores. The season was o| encd in a thrilling game with Osteopathy on the home lloor. Although leading the way in the first frame, the visitors uncorked a rally in the dying minutes of the game which the locals were unable to check and when the final whistle was sounded the scoreboard showed 30-29 in favor of the Osteopaths. But this was only the o| cner, and although it ended disastrously, it gave Coach Zimmerman and Captain Kern the necessary information that was necessary to make the team impregnable, and profiting by their experience the Bears in the next encounter overwhelmed Schuylkill College and sent them home to the tune of 33-18. Before returning to our homes for the vacation season we met I afayette on the Easton Moor and went down to defeat, 30-22. The team was handicap| ed considerably by the unusually large Moor to which they did not seem able to adapt themselves, but put up a very commendable exhibition against great odds. Even as we had avenged ourselves for the first defeat so again the team found its stride and Textile was laid low. The game throughout was fast and snappy, although the final score would not indicate this to Ik- the case. After this victory the fates were not so kindly toward our five, .is they were forced to succumb before the Swarthmore quintet. Being led at half time by one |x int, Crsinus regained the lead and held it until the last three minutes of play. Then in the waning minutes of play with the score tied the Bears were Moored on a goal by Richards. They failed to recover from this blow and the game ended. 19-17. Different sized basketball Moors are a menace to good basketball and consequentl when we met St. Joseph's at Philadelphia we were hampered by an unusually narrow Moor. Regardless of this fact we started out strong, but finally were forced to succumb to «ireum-stances and defeat and lost, 26-18. Disgruntled by the loose playing of the quintet. Coach Zimmerman got the boys together and imbued with a new spirit the boys went forth and before many moons had | Kissed, six of the strongest teams in Eastern Pennsylvania had l owed in defeat In-fore them. Drexel came to Crsinus with a string of victories to her credit and was defeated in the fastest and most exciting game of the season. At half time the score was 14-7 with Crsinus in the lead. But when the final whistle blew Drexel had crept up to such an extent that the score stood 22-22. In the extra five-minute jn-riod Captain Kern pierced the strings for a two-|x inter. Muhlenberg came next and although the Crsinus lead was at no time threatened, the game was of the hair-raising variety. Temple followed and gave us the scare of the season when, on our own Moor, with a handicap of nine points after the first half, they came I Kick and pushed the local five to the limit. Tin final whistle found the score board registered 31-30 in favor of the Crizzlies. One hundred eighty-three SIAM OKI MKRSF.K 19 2 0 RUBY 'mm' ' 2 With three consecutive victories to their credit the Hears took Albright College in tow. This time it was the Hears that came back in the second frame, but due to the accuracy of Higlcy we gained a three-point margin and victory. It was with sid hearts that the Dickinsonians left the I rsinus campus. Fully confident of victory, the Rod and Black athletes gave them a great surprise and set such a pace that they could not withstand it and finally succlimited with the score 31-30. Delaware was the next to fall and they were Intwed down Iteneath an avalanche of (mints. The score of 11-17 clearly indicates the superiority of the Hears and it proved excellent practice for the IVnn game. If ever a basketball team deserved to win the Crsinus quintet did when they fell before I’enn. Starting out like mad men the Bears took the lead from IVnn and at half time were leading, 11-10. Hut IVnn staged a great rally and finally we were forced to bow our heads in defeat, 30-20. I . M. ( dealt us a hard blow when in the closing minutes of play their diminutive forward, Buono, registered and we were defeated, 35-33. The final games of the season were split between Ilaverford and Moravian. The latter was swamped to the tune of 50-21. But the final game ended disastrously after leading at half time, when we succumbed, 41-26. This was the last game of the season and, although ending and beginning in defeat, found nine games won and seven games in the liability column.

MOVER VTKRN'KR IIOAGF.Y IIKRKER CLARK ■K aUBY 2p Baseball Season of 1924-25 ' I ’UK American major sjx rt followed closely u|X n the heels of jr i. basketball. Christy Mathewsons, Walter Ifarrisses and all sackersdonned the college bloomers and were soon handling the P M with all the alacrity of big leaguers. Quite a few of the former season veterans were missing from the ranks, but high school bush leaguers were plenty, and it wasn’t long before plenty of major caliber were soon found to fill the gaps. Whether Jupiter I'luvius was siding with the Hears is very doubtful, } y for it so happened that the first game, that with Philadelphia Textile, was KM erased from the s hedille because of damp weather. It was then to St. Joseph's that the honor was given to engage us in the first combat. So on ky j a cold and brisk day in April, the 16th, to be exact, I rsimts played St. Joe’s to a standstill at 4-4. Three mounders were used to open the tie, . but it refused to be unloosed. Osteopathy tasted the bitter dregs of defeat from the fatal cup the MouroK following Saturday when our boys wallo| ed them to the tune of 4-1. As appears evident, the game was peculiarly one-sided, no thrills being afforded. Hut far from such was the case in the next meet, when Lebanon Valley stole ahead at the twelfth hour, turning defeat into a victory. The end of the ninth found the score balancing dangerously at a 2-2 angle. It was a duel of pitchers and the l est man had to win. Uiegle of Lebanon Valley was twirling for the Valleymen and Diehm for the Hears. For the next two innings the score board registered zeros. Hut in the twelfth, Diehm. overcome by the strain, broke, allowing four men to take the circuit. The final score, 6-2. The sorrowful Heavens wecjicd and wee| ed. consequently for the next three games the Hears grovelled in their cave, waiting for the sunlight to come once again to the earth. I )uring this interval Gettysburg. Muhlenberg and Temple were passed over, while with each one went a sigh that the opportunity of bringing home these scalps was lost for the year. Zeus frowning upon our grounds, still, and refusing to liecome reconciled, the Hears crawled from their cave and lumlxircd to Myerstown, where the weather was more sociable. Hut, cncuinliered by their long lay-off, they played a very loose game and were forced to return home with the sting of victory decorating their noses. The final score was 6-4. Death of the Director of Athletics at Rutgers caused the cancellation of the next game with that college. The next Friday morning, the Red and lilack grumblers left Collcgcville for a two days’ jaunt. 'This included Susquehanna I’nivcrsity as host on Friday and Lebanon Valley on Saturday. Neither a success or failure could be recorded and yet both were experienced. Susquehanna defeated us sadly by laying down the law at 7-1. Lebanon Valley, however, was forced to taste of the same medicine that she had given us on our home grounds. 4-1 was the result with the Hears crawling alxnit on top. It was Lehigh that made I’rsinus toe the One hundred eighty-nine 5 9 S i a 5 c mark the next Wednesday on a little backyard lot at Bethlehem. Having got away to a good start, they set the pace and so far outdistanced us that the wire found the growlers, exhausted, lumber in a |xx r second. The papers said the score was 11-1 in Lehigh's favor. Knragcd as they were at this, it was sure defeat to any team who happened to be next on the line-up. Drexcl, whom the rain had saved the first game of the season, was the unfortunate victim. Doggedly, fought the Red and Blacks, and slowly the Drexelites I owcd to the conquering foe. I’rsinus, 6; Drexel, 3. Fate server! I'rsinus ill the next Saturday, for, although playing a great brand (if big ball, the breaks were against them and they were forced to yield to Penn's warriors, at a very close score. But then the Bears in quick succession, once more untamed, and wild with rage, bore down u|x n poor Delaware and clawed its way to a well-earned victory. Score was 4-3. In like manner, the Reformed rivals at F. M. were crushed in the suffocating clutch of the Grizzlies and cried enough when the short end of a 10-1 score stared them in the face. The one Jinx that has ever l� esct I'rsinus has been the scarlet team of Swarthmore. On their own hunting grounds they outwitted us once more and held the record of taking the circuit 8 times to our 2. Came the season to a finish when on June 7th, Alumni Day, I’rsinus led the way in a contest with the I.ancastcrian rivals. Again (Ursus Horribles) elected to overcome the tawny strength of the hated enemy. So they Imre away in Bacliic delight the tangled remains of F. M. on the pathway of 4-2, and having satisfied their hunger, they put aside the weapons of I attle not to be seen again until the fall found them dressed in new togs, lighting a far more cruel battle—called by men—football.

For it was these four, out of a possible twenty, who were selected to represent their Alma Mater at the Penn Relays, Franklin Field, in the spring of that year. Being entered in Class B, they ran with Havanah Cniversity, City College of New York, City College of Detroit, Temple I'Diversity and Maryland Dental College. There, in that most renowned amphitheatre, In-fore thronging crowds, Crsinus was forced to taste the dust of four competing colleges while she was able to give only one the air. The winning college was the City College of Detroit, whose time was far totter than the winning college of Class A. This year finds many constructive plans under way. The new track, many years in preparation, is now reaching the point of completion. New equipment has toen ordered and double the number of applicants are going to answer, when Coach Kichline issues the call in March, 1926. Instead of entering only the one race, at Penn, and in place of being represented in only one event, that of the mile relay, the Coach is planning to place men in every event possible. This, it is ho|x d, will arouse a spirit of interest in the s|x rt and will push onward the standard, and place Crsinus at the head of its class.

I be fates, t«H , it seems, took an interest in the matter and decreed to the one, success, and to the other, failure. When weighed in the spring Italancc, baseball rose in the scales and took its rightful place among the victorious bands, but tennis was found wanting and was relegated to the place of the conquered. Although outplayed by their more experienced rivals, the team showed great efficiency. More than once, deuce sets had to be played off to decide the victor, but in every one of these close contests, the decision was given to the opposing team. St. Joseph’s College of Philadelphia was forced to taste defeat at our hands, but in every other instance, it was the Bear who rolled the hoop. In the fall of 1925 while football was demanding the attention of nearly every student, a fall season try-out in the form of a round-robin tournament, called to court all those who were able to wield a racquet, or were skillful enough to guide the ball within the limits of the fatal chalk mark. A cup offered by an interested alumnus was won by the veteran player of last year's team, Huston Spangler, '28. This pre-season try-out has produced a wealth of material, such as has never heretofore been seen on the I’rsinus Courts. The outlook is bright and a schedule of thirteen games has been arranged by Manager Oppenhcimer for the coming season. Spangler, II.. is back on the job, with his two teammates of last year. Manager Oppenhcimer and “Sam” Keimert. That leaves place for only two new aspirants and with the wealth of material at hand, the team should consist of an All-Star team which will never know defeat.

Since the formation of this organization many desires have been realized. Women’s athletics are now given a place, on a level with the men. and are operated in a similar manner. A certain amount of money is given each year to use where the need is greatest. This has been a great help to women’s athletics at Lisinas, because the budget can be arranged to suit the demand, and there is now an adequate supply of equipment in all of which every woman might be proud. The object of the association is to promote interest in amateur sports at I rsinus and perform such functions as may be delegated to it by the Athletic Council of the association. To arouse interest a letter, known as the S|x rtm inship I “shall be awarded to any woman student who has not won a Varsity letter, and who by faithful attendance, good spirit and enthusiasm for each seasonal activity, has shown an effort to live up to the ideals of good sportmanship.’’ The membership of the association consists of every female member of the student body and faculty. Meetings are held once a month and all relative problems are dealt with. One hundred ninety-eight I $ i $ The Coach's Message IN prehistoric times man's life depended on his agility in running. jumping, climbing and throwing. The Greeks considered prowess in the arts of speed and endurance as evidence of the superiority in manhood and the same was true in the age of chivalry. During all these ages, woman had no place in the world of affairs. She was relegated to a pedestal from which she might observe, but never participated in man's activities. With the advance in civilization woman has gone out into the world on an equal footing with man. Men and women alike have felt tin-need of recreational exercise to keep them at their highest efficiency and the sports of the ancients have been revived in our popular modern athletics. In the last twenty- five years, athletics for women have made tremendous strides and the foundation on which they are built is a strong healthy body and a sound happy mind. Women have not tried to match their skill and strength with men. With health and good sportsmanship the aims, new standards have been set, old games have been rreived and new ones developed to suit their needs. One of the chief attributes for success in life is good sportsmanship and it is in play that its need is shown. I believe that games and athletic contests for women have done much to develop good sportsmanship among them and once learned on the athletic field, it will carry ever into life. I would ask nothing better for the Ursinus women entering upon their life work than that they may have learned to use keen judgment in appraising their opponents, to play the game fairly and to win or lose with the spirit which marks the true sportsman. Geraldine R. McGowan, Director of Athletics for Women One hundred ninety-nine HOCKKY during the fall of 1925, broke the record of previous years in results, interest, enthusiasm and spirit displayed. The success of the season was largely due to the untiring efforts put forth by Miss McC.owan and those who faithfully attended practice all season. One of the hardest games of the season was the opening one with Swarthmore, in which the varsity proved its caliber, although the score was in favor of Swarthmore. The two games which followed with Philadelphia Normal School and Trenton Normal School were decided victories for the Crsinus girls who easily outplayed their opponents. 9 9 One of the big features of the season was the first game with Temple in held her greatest rival to a 2-2 score. In the game at Philadelphia, how girls met defeat at the hands of Temple who were out for revenge. The two games with Heaver College, formerly Beechwood. resulted in easy victories for Crsinus. Out of the seven games the team won four, tied one and lost two. The total score of tin- varsity was 33 points and that of her opjxmcnts, 14 points. Prospects for the next year look promising in spite of the fact that we are losing four splendid players through graduation—Phebc Cornog, who is invaluable on defense; Winnie Derr, the dependable goal keeper; Julia Shutack, the swift and accurate right wing, and the redoubtable Captain Lena Carl. The present material will afford a team for each class. It is planned to put special emphasis on these class teams and in this way develop varsity material. The exceptional interest shown by all classes foretell a successful season under Captain Bernice Leo and Manager Sallie 11offer. which Crsinus ever, the “I ” $ ! $ i I 9 Two hundred KinDKI.L Mlt.LKK KOTIIKSUKKCKK SIIII'K MKIOWAN PUT TKKS Kill- WINCKRT ROWLKK COR.N'OG JOHNSON I.KO CAKI.

Many girls res|K� n le l to the announcement of the first practice, of which a large number were Freshmen. With Miss McC.owan as the new coach, great things were anticipated. The team had a hard schedule to prepare for and although the schedule was not as successful as in several previous years, they had a very good record, winning five out of the twelve games. The first game with Osteopathy was an easy and decisive victory, and so also was the next game with Albright, and the outlook for the season was very bright. The next games against Temple and Drexel were lost, but it was not without surprise that Drexcl found themselves the victors. IIKNlX. Although Temple thought she had found something easy in the first game with I'rsinus at Philadelphia, tables were reversed when they came to Collegcville. The score ended in favor of Temple, but the game was one of the best the Yellow Jackets played and for a time the fans expected their ambition to Heat Temple” to be realized. At Cedar Crest the game with I’rsinus was thought of as the big game of the season. This was indicated by the signs worn by the Cedar Crest girls with Beat I'rsinus on them. The game was a tough battle and for the first time in history I'rsinus bowed to Cedar Crcat. With the loss by graduation of only Betz Evans and the fine showing made by the Freshmen the season of 1925-26 promises to Ik a very successful one.

Baseball and track were the new sports introduced by Coach McGowan. There were some indications of track work in previous years, but baseball for the girls was entirely new. A large number of girls reported at the cage for baseball in the early spring. As soon as the weather would permit the hockey field was utilized as a baseball diamond. In May the first field day was held. Although it was only an experiment results point to a greater field day in the years to come. The events were 100-yard dash; basketball throw; javelin and concluded with a baseball game. In each event there were a large number of entrants and an unusual amount of interest was displayed. If the enthusiasm shown in this first meet continues to grow year by year, we will soon find baseball and track holding important places on our athletic programs. Tennis, another of the minor sports, was neglected, inasmuch as so many turned their attention to the other spring sports. A decided effort is being made at present to revive the annual tennis tournament that at one time held such an important place in the athletic curriculum of I rsinus. Two hum!ml Jour $ % $ An Old Tale Told in a New Way f 11. WAS just a shy lad, meek, mild and gentle, having been brought up ■ 1 tied to his mother’s apron string (not literally, of course); and yet as he sat there in the dimly lit parlor, caressing the little bunch of softness that nestled close to him, he was conscious of an inexplicable thrill that indeed was great; yes we might say much greater than that of most lads under the same circumstance. Well—no wonder she was so warm and pliant when he touched her, and she would look up at him with those big, staring eyes as if she understood his caressing and lovable feeling for her without his saying a word. (Now that was a help to our shy friend.) Suddenly she became uneasy and restless. What was wrong? Did she hear some one coming? I lad he made her angry? All these questions and then some more flashed through his mind when suddenly she jumped up and dashed across the room. Well—why not? The cat saw a big, juicy mouse waiting for her in the opposite corner of the room. Handling a Woman Electrically When a woman is sulky and will not speak. . . .

At home she couldn't seem to find enough days—she had to make use of the nights too. And he couldn’t seem to find the days at all when he woke up it was getting dark again. Her telephone was always busy and her room was always fragrant with “tokens of flowers. Ilis Dad’s cellar and car became such a habit with him that he wondered how he ever got along without them. And when vacation was over she sighed and said, ‘‘Just can’t imagine going back to that slow place with no decent men to appreciate one. and thereupon rendered farewell to a few of her real playmates. And when vacation was over he swore and exclaimed. “Well had a pretty good time while it lasted. This is not such a bad burg to hang out in after all. but that dead place I'm leaving for—with few co-eds sweet enough to park with— What kick to that? And he meant it all too. The first night back at school he and she found each other walking arm in arm over the campus. Their pace slackened until they finally stopjied in the sheltering shadows of a big tree, which hid them from the revealing moonlight. “Vacation was so long—did nothing but think of you. sweet one, he whispered taking advantage of the semi-darkness. I've been so lonesome without a real man to thrill me.” she answered, not resisting his manly effort. The two shadows melted into one and the college was able to start again.

And they parted feeling quite sad beneath the carefree farewells. She went home and rested up helped Mother a little few bridge parties and finally decided she had waited long enough to drop him a line and tell him what a fine time she was having. He went home, rested up and decided to work on his radio to pass the time away—nice thing to have too. Maybe he would write and tell her about it. I’pon receiving his letter she immediately answered it. That evening she went to a dance and marveled how she had ever enjoyed any before she went to college. He is delighted with her letter and spends the remainder of the summer counting the days till he can write again, fooling with the radio and camping awhile. Finally vacation is over. They return to college. That evening they happen to pass each other on Main Street. Have a good summer. he fairly shouts. Oh! Lovely, she answers. “Take a walk,” he suggests and she immediately acquiesces. How’s the radio? she asks. Fine when I left say that was a life-saver. he suddenly confesses I had nothing to do but fool with that.” and she surprises herself by answering, “Well, I really had an awfully slow time myself. I can appreciate the place when I am away from it. And he quite boldly suggests that they take to the campus and proceeds to tell her that he has learned to appreciate something else during the summer. The wise old moon smiled slyly and college started anew. Many who Hunk obtain quite a “college education.

No side remarks, please. T he question is. is nothing something or is nothing nothing as we have hitherto believed. For clarity let us define the terms. Nothing is the lack of something and something is the presence of a thing that is not nothing, and nothing is not something, by the laws of arithmetic or Dutch, things equal to the same different things are “worth two in the bush. Still at a meeting of two of the greatest men the “world has ever known, my companion remarked to me that in his opinion anything of “which we can think is not nothing, hence must be something. For instance, we say that a vacuum is nothing yet, I can think of a vacuum. Note, that remark was that I can think of a vacuum. Do not confuse this with the vacuum with and by which yon endeavor to think. Another example of this can be found in the sporting world not including the night life of New York. If, in a practice game, the team which we expected to practice turns the tables and does a little practicing on its own hook, resulting in a score of 03-0 in their favor, what have we? HV have nothing in round numbers, but something in square heads. That something is a rotten team which is worse than nothing. These simple illustrations must render the subject perfectly clear to any one who has something between their ears besides parking space for the Prince of Wales' hat. This brings us up to the problem of the day. Why is “what and. if so, when? This, my dear students, is one of the world's great mysteries, rivaling that of the Sphinx and the whereabouts of the moustaches that several Seniors claim to be growing. Hut, above all, but remember that not even I have definitely decided whether nothing is something or nothing. What can you hope to conclude? To start the Freshmen right we would suggest that they be coni| elled to read and be examined on the latest 1 rsinus College publication: “The Kvils and Crimes of Twosing. by K. li. White. I’rof.

Two hundred eleven c A Conception of a Popular Professor Ol H idea of a popular professor is one who starts a course by saying: Now this course is going to be very easy iiccausc I do not Itclicve in making students worry their heads over one little course. The Ixxik we shall use costs only 25 cents. However, after much difficulty and effort, consuming most of my time. I got a reduction on these books just for this class. We really would not need any lxx ks at all, but it must appear to outsiders and the faculty that we are following the conventional course; so we shall get l ooks. and then put them aside for a while until we can find a use- for them. I always conduct my course so that the work can Ik- mastered right in the classroom, for I feel that this undue interest in extended library courses, and this senseless cramming of Ixxik knowledge, is ruinous to your health and pros| erity. It should therefore In- eliminated as soon as |xissihle. In order to do this course justice, I feel that we should have discussions and plenty of them. I should not by any means do all the talking. So I shall stop about every ten minutes during a lecture and give you a chance to talk things over among yourselves. In fact. I intend to leave the room at this time and give you the op|X rtunity to talk these matters over more freely. I should say a fair amount of time for your consideration of the subject would be about fifteen minutes, at which time I shall appear ami speak for ten more minutes. If at any time I should come into the room before your discussion is finished, you need only to give me the high-sign and I shall make my exit, and shall not return until called by one of your numbers. If you feel at any time during the semester the course is becoming lioresontc, I shall be glad to hear about it and shall do all I can to make it more interesting. I recently heard of an ideal way of holding the students' interest in a course; at least, I think it is ideal, and with your | ermission I should like to experiment on this class to see how it works. I'he plan consists in dismissing the class early several times during the semester, the students ltcing ignorant of the times they arc to leave early. The surprise is sup|x scd to have an invigorating effect ti|x n them, and afford an incentive for I tetter work. I like this idea and am quite anxious to try it out. I shall only administer examinations upon request. I do not believe in them, but if any student feels he should like to take one of these unnecessary evils, I should be only too glad to make one out for him. and lie may come to my home at his earliest convenience and take it. I always invite students to my home to take exams liecause after such strenuous lalxirs on their | art, I like to serve them refreshments. I shall give a final examination simply because it is one of the requirements of the institution, but I feel it my duty to warn you beforehand not to study for it because I do not even l«x� k at the papers. I think such a climax to a course s|x� ils the whole effect and I do not want my course ruined by such a device. That is all I have to tell you and I think that is sufficient introduction to the course. If you have any suggestions regarding the teaching of this subject I shall gladly listen to them. By the way -come to my home and make those suggestions,—we might as well enjoy the easy chairs. The class is dismissed! I i .

This is a great honor to lx-accorded a small college which had such noble beginnings. Mr Kenny explained how, as he was passing the venerable institution, he was attracted by the sounds of what might at one time have been beautiful music. After several inquiries he found that the sounds came from the literary societies who of late have been sponsoring t lie-ballet and chorus work. After observing the latter |xirt of the program he was very gratified by the pros-ix-cts for a knock-out chorus. He went on record as having said. “The Crsinus Coed Chorus should develop into a group of singers and dancers th.it will lx- unsurjxissed by any groups appearing at the .arrick, Hip, Troc or (iayety Theatres.

OPHELIA LI MR IN THE FLOP Miss Ophelia l imb, the renowned tragedian, has ojK-ned up in her new play, The Flop, by Fred Fraternity, at the Hendrick Memorial Theatre, which of late has been devoting its efforts to the production of the legitimate drama. It is hoped that it will help develop appreciation among the I rsinusstudentsand help to raise the morals from their present state of depravity. The unique title under which this drama masquerades is used only as a l ox office drawing card and is a degenerate form of the once popular term flapper. The story glorifies the American youth in his struggle for success.

The annual, for which every one has been waiting with the greatest anticipation, has now reached the stage of completion. anti is serving its purpose by bringing both smiles and tears upon many countenances. The time, labor and money expended upon this annual are not to be considered when one realizes the great horn of happiness and joy that its production has brought. May this help you to never forget the class of ’26. And now to the main cause of this discourse. Without the help of those kind and considerate personages, who. both by reason of their high esteem of The Ruby, and of their kind-heartedness, have favored us with their advertisements. this greatest annual of all would never have gone to press. From the idea of fair play, the managers have promised to these advertisers a return, via patronage, from our student body. Now it is up to every reader of this annual, and especially the students, to exert their influence in this matter, and when the opportunity arises give your loyal support to those who at one time favored you. We hope we have not promised in vain. The Managers Two hundred hventy-two ‘Jalin and Ollier Again THE largest personal service school annual engraving house in America.
