U B Y I Explanatory jcl ‘•hurt explanation of the motif of the volume in hand is forthwith in order. ' 'he exdihris delineates one of the first benefactors, who contributed to the grmvth of I rsintis, that of Robert Patterson. The title page seems to strike the keynote to the main historical thought of the book and shores in the upper lefthand ova! a drawing of a student in the year IS.id, the year of the founding of Todd's .School. The one on the right shows the present day student at I’rsinus, while the portrait at the bottom is an illustration of the founder of the institution. The dedication pages visualize the first steps in I'rsinus history. These are balancing units of illustration. The one on the left shows the student body on its way to Todd School, while on the right we see a similar scene, but with Freeland Seminary as the goal. The foreword page furthers the thought with a scene at Bamberger Hall, and the students of the latter nineteenth century wending their way toward the entrance. The contents page shows a step in the future and pictures the I'rsinus Campus when the new Science Building will have been completed. The senior page depicts in the phantom tint at the bottom, the first event of any consequence in college life and by its side, in contrast, is placed the most sublime, that of graduation.

Fitzcbr i i.I) THE EVIL MEX DO LIVES AFTER THEM A Comedy in Four Arts Dramatis Personae The Faculty. Some two hundred upperclassmen and sophomores. Very, very verdant freshmen. A CT I Scene I Time: Septeml� er 17, 192.1. I’i.ack: In a corner of Pennsylvania known as Collegeville. It is the opening day at 1'rsinus College. The chapel 1r-II has rung. The class of '27, conspicuously resplendent in green hands and red dinks are hastening Romlxjrger-ward to Ik- in their seats in time. This is the only time they will hasten so let them go. ChajK-1 services proceed just as in former years, despite the arrival of the latest characters. All goes peaceably until the hockey field is readied where takes place the annual frosh-sopli tug-of-war. Here each class shows its strength and prowess—a test, indeed, for, the class of '27 is hut recently met together. The next event in which the newcomers actively partici| atc and show their mettle is the customary frosh-soph football game. That day more than one hero hit the dust” of Patterson Field. Scene II Time: Noveml cr, 192.1. Peace: The City of Brotherly I.ove. The belles of '27 are having their “coming out party. Previous to this the young gentlemen have displayed their manly strength now activities have shifted from the realm of athletics to the social side of life. The class and its guests are Ixmqucting in the ballroom of the McAllister Hotel. The mirth and gaiety of the entire party lend an enchanting color to the predominating atmosphere of congeniality and goml will. The orchestra is using every artifice of music to set milady's toes a-tingle with the thrill and romance of the occasion. Hut, as all things, this time of joy must end and finally give place once more to tin- more studious pursuits of our life. The freshman banquet of the class of '27 is over. ACT n Scene I Time: .School semester of 1924 and 1925 (Leap Near). Peace: The same 1'rsinus College. Some of the characters of our comedy have left our ranks and have taken up their abode with another company. Some new directors appear for the |H-rfect production of our comedy, but the general stamina of our faculty remains tlie same. Again we have the staging of the annual tug-of-war, the footliall game, and the usual excitement accompanying each event wherein each class reveals its virtues. WsSsts1 9 27 R.U B Y !o, ACT 111 SCENE I Time: One year later. Place: I lie same. The attention of all is now centered u|x n another phase of college activities. )ur dramatic talents are now brought forth to make their debut. The stage is all set. the characters make their entrance, lo! the play is on. For the present all thoughts of athletics and scholastic records are cast aside. The spirit of histrionics is holding sway and reigning supreme in its majesty. Little comment need be made upon the success of the junior play. Its related presentations s| eak for its worth. A week before commencement those interested in and capable of declamation hold forth in Uomberger Chapel. The Junior Oratorical contest decided who are the orators of tin-class. However eager we may be for class honor, we endeavor at the same time to give of what we have to a larger and more jK-rmanent unit than the class — our College. Our loyalty to Crsinus was shown by our participation as a class in the student drive during the financial campaign. Ve translated just a little bit of our love and resjiect into dollars and cents, and together we went over the top” in order that there might l e a Greater Crsinus. ACT IV Scene I Time: One year later. Place: Same. Our comedy is drawing to a dose. The scene is one of hurry and scurry We are hustling aliout, seeking to bring to a final and grand climax these portions of our lives, to bring together these fragments of our youth into one great volume, our annual, the RtBY. Our work here completed, we long more and more to join the Great Adventurers, not those who discover new lands or chart hitherto unchartercd seas, but the adventurers who fare forth in the ship, Independent Thinking, over the supposedly well chartered sea of Human Experience.

It’s not so much the laugh itself that is striking as the peculiar method he uses in coaxing it out of his interior. Ilis mouth spreads and turns up at the corners: his shoulders begin l obl)ing up and down, and the laugh presents itself in a much shaken up condition, probably very doubtful of its own identity and having visions of being a cocktail or something similar. Now please don't think that the environment in its pre-natal state lias anything to do with the laugh’s opinion of itself. Skinner confines himself to a diet (liquid) of milk, and is a strong sup| orter of Mr. Bryan's grain- juice theory.” (On second thought, perhaps milkshake” would be more appropriate than cocktail. i The reason for the shaking too is somewhat difficult to explain. Psychologists say that it is reflex action hanging on from the time when baby-carriages were not cquip| ed with balloon tires. Without Iteing told, you can guess that Skinner is so good-natured that he actually relishes a joke on himself. It is a spirit that he lives in. without but few exceptions. But then he docs cpiite a bit of kitting himself, and is always reading with a capital letter. 'Ml B Ninety-six Isl C--J. C .' C '■ KUZABKTH Jt’STICK SMITH I’kdkk KrowN, N. J.

Hut together with our victories and the pleasant memories of our freshman banquet, came examinations. A few of our weaker members were dropped from the roster, but the ills of infancy only went toward making us a closer and a more united class. The remainder of the first year was a repetition of the past, there were more laurels adder!; more difficulties successfully conquered. And thus we passed our infancy. Our youth was of that glorious kind that goes for a happy maturity. We welcomed the freshmen, made them feel at home and greatly enjoyed the pleasures that are bestowed u|xm a second year class. But we never lost sight of the ideal which bound us together as a first year class. We raised new standards, and lal ored diligently that we could leave behind that impress of success. The year progressed, examinations again took their toll from our members, but we remained ever staunch against all the storms that threatened to tear us away from our coveted goal.

The sophomores mJJ took spc« ial pains to give ns .« royal welcome, but we responded in the right manner. Indeed, we were commended for our gtxxl s|x� rt-manship and spirit. This was soon put to the test in the freshman-sophomore tug-of-war, in which our boys pulled to victory. The girls of the class then displayed their loyalty by putting up one of the l est fights ever seen in an interclass hockey game. They won from the sophs and then treated freshman week like a six-day picnic. 'File freshman banquet at the Adelphia proved to lx all that a banquet should lx , even though a few important members were absent. The jollity of the occasion caused an abundance of class feeling and comradesltip. The interclass football game meant another victory, for the men fought like regular l ears. Then, after the holidays, came the dreaded semester exams, but they were not so dreadful after all for the class easily survived. The remainder of the year | assed with nothing especially eventful. In September of ld27 we joyfully welcomed each other and then tackled the new school year, convinced that it should lx a noteworthy one. Determined not merely to rest on our former laurels we won the tug-of-war from the frosh and also the hockey game. As true sophomores we are helping the freshmen to get acquainted with the place. For a few days near the time of their banquet we introduced their president to a new locality. However, we allowed him to return to play in an important football game, for we considered the honor of the school above that of our private ambitions. This represents the cotie of our class—to do the l est we can for the honor and glory of '10, but always to remember anti cherish our Alma Mater—good old I rsinus. One Ini mired seventeen 1 9 27 R.

Difficulty in acclimating ourselves to the new environment quite naturally arose, hut in purpose and spirit, as the builders of a new and cx| ansive I'rsinus we remained undaunted. While yet, unorganized, we participated in the annual tug-of-war with the sophomores, and although we lost the glory of victory, we gained the greater result of a strongly united body. We learned to realize that we must have greater co-operation for successful accomplishments in the future. After our organization, we began preparation for the crowning event of our lives as freshmen at I'rsinus, the banquet. On (Xtoler 25th, after encountering the numerous difficulties raised by tantalizing sophs, we wended our way to the Kitz-Carlton in Philadelphia, where a Isoun-teous repast awaited us. The lingering memories of this, our first social gathering, are meat and joy to the minds of any freshman. In athletics our victories have been divided. On November 17th. out girls waged a hard and difficult battle against the sophomore girls on the hockey field and lost. But, we were more successful in football, for the varsity season had scarcely closed until with united spirit we planned to bring havoc on the sophomore camp. The day was cold and a rain on the previous night made the field muddy and im| ervious to good, fast playing. Regardless of these difficulties, however, our team showed its superiority over the sophomore squad and when the final whistle blew romped off with an 8-0 victory. Though our numbers .ire now slightly diminished, we maintain our lofty purpose and look with ho|� cful eyes to the future.

CtMUh Debate -rf EW people, including college students, realize the relation of argumentative discourse to ml daily transactions. There is .t tendency t discredit the value of college debating with the thought that it is merely a channel for publicity. Analysis of professional and business foundations, however, shows the training required in forensics to be of inestimable value whenever one ixrrson seeks to convince or |)crsuade another. The poise of the teacher instructing his class, the jht-suasion of the business man attempting to win stockholders, the oratory of the minister pleading a pure life, and the logic of the lawyer presenting his case to the jury, .ill find the training invaluable in not only in attempting to stand on common ground, but also in shaping mental powers. The advent of women to all walks of life makes this application equally true in the case of feminine students, and thus it is that we have .it I'rsinus an active interest in both the men’s and the women’s delxitc clubs. I InndicapiK-d by the loss of the entire varsity squad, the debate club began its seventh active year with the question, “Resolved: That the I'nited States should join the League of Nations.” The schedule included Elizaliethtown, Bucknell, Lebanon Valley, Bowdoin, and Muhlenberg, ending with I’rsinus having won more than half the meets inc luding that with Bowdoin College, claimant of the debate championship in the I'nited States. The account would never Ik- completed without recognition of Mr. Martin Y. Weaver, Assistant Professor of English and Debate coach for the men. It was he who encouraged the men to greater effort, lie who developed a winning team from inexperienced recruits and to him the teams are truly grateful. The Women’s Debate Club produced two teams that were outstanding in college forensic circles, even more so when consideration is made for its first season. I'nder Dr. Elizal eth B. White the affirmative and negative teams entered dual debates with Bucknell, Temple, Susquehanna and Elizalieth-town, winning three and losing one. The pros-|iects for a duplication of last year's achievements are encouraging, and I'rsinus is glad to welcome the organization of this branch of activity for women.

U B Drama HAT a clral) and sordid world this would be were it not for play! Play provides relief from worrisome care and dull monotony. It supplies our recreational needs. It gives us a much desired outlet for energies of mind and body. It allows us to get away from superficiality and to find our real selves in the hand of natural freedom. Hut when play is modified it may serve an even greater pur|K sc. Play may l e interpreted in terms of art. directed by skilled hands and characterized by a vivid portrayal of the human emotions. Play, when modified, does not lose its quality of naturalness. it simply assumes a new aspect. The actor must needs let his own individuality Ik- overshadowed by the nature of another. To live another man's life, to think another man's thoughts, to Ik- another man, that is the art of drama. The spectacles we see not only quell our momentary demands for pleasure, but they penetrate deeper into our standards of conduct and living. Not only are we wafted hither and thither into the Land of Dreams on the golden wings of Fancy, but in drama we see the tragedies and comedies of life enacted and re-enacted. We experience again our own sorrows and joys, griefs and happiness in witnessing those of another. We perceive our own lives with an added meaning; we live again our moments of pleasure and enjoyment with a new thrill. On the stage we see depicted the vices and virtues which repel and attract, we arc made conscious of life in its constancy and vicissitudes, of reality in its grim seriousness and its superficial frivolity. To some, of course, drama appears only in the light of amusement—mere pastime. Hut, for those who drink deep it has an inestimable value. It is the bedrock foundation upon which we build our culture, refinement and wisdom. It is the supreme influence in shaping and fashioning ideas, in forming opinions and in molding our ideals. Long ago the Church realized the |K wer-fnl influence of drama. Cognizant of its wielding | ower, she endeavored to make use of it. The early Church was tlie-mother of drama; she fostered it through the iK-riod of infancy and dependence, when, like a bird, its wings grew strong enough, it ventured forth, an independent fledgling. Is it a matter of marvel that in college com-munties, such as I’rsinus, this type of intellectual and artistic influence is so generally found? Might not we feel particularly favored when this fledgling seeks a rendezvous with us? Let us not keep the golden bird of opportunity pecking at our window in vain. Instead, let it l e our privilege to throw him the few crumbs of talent that will make his a flourishing life on our campus. ,� Ror shbeukr.

Dramatics and the art ol drama had always in the past been sponsored by the two literar societies namely, Zwinglian and ScItafT. Meanwhile, there had liecn much agitation for the formation of a society wherein tin-stage and the interests of the stage would I - the sole consideration. After the zealous efforts of certain students anil others actively interested in this sphere of our life attended liy the approval of the faculty, the Curtain Club became a live organization with a true objective. The pur|lose of the dub is to foster and supervise the dramatic productions at Crsinus. « lt supplements the work of the literary societies and endeavors to carry on the work they have done so well. Although the membership of the dramatic society is limited and includes only upperclassmen, anv one immediately interested in this type of work can liecome a real asset to the Curtain Club if they so desire. The club is always anxious to reveal new talent and perfect it when discovered. Since its recent organization, the club has given short but worthwhile plays, such as: “Doctor haustus,.....The Pot Boiler, In the Morgue,............I’he Snowstorm, In the Year Two Thousand, The l inger of C.od and The C.reen Coat. Being such a novel enterprise, and of so much potential benefit at I rsinus, the club can l«M k forward to a future filled with many possibilities. One hit mi red thirty-seven I 9 27 R.

The action was centered in the home of Ambrose Applcjohn at Polperreu on the cost of Cornwall, England. In the opening scene Ambrose, a confirmed I achclor, startles his aunt and ward by announcing that he is going to throw aside conservatism, sell the ancestral home, and seek adventure—mystery romance. That night new vistas of adventure appear in his own home when mysterious strangers arrive: one of these is a beautiful woman, Anna Valeska, who Ambrose thinks is the embodiment of all his dreams of romance. Thereu|X n the whereabouts of a huge treasure is found in a hidden cupboard, and Ambrose is amazed by the revelation that he is the descendant of the notorious pirate, Captain Applejack. The second act is a dream in which Ambrose pictures himself as the captain of a mutinous crew. Then the mysterious strangers as well as the members of his household assume new roles in keeping with the vivid pirate scene.

Hence, Ambrose finds mystery, adventure romance in his ancestral home, and knows that he need seek no further. MacDonald Rochm gave an admirable interpretation of Ambrose Applejohn; Anna Valeska was excellently represented by Margaret Lilly; Paul Krasley as Ivan Horolsky, the terrible Russian spy and as first mate of the mutinous crew gained remarkable credit for his splendid interpretation; Lois Nickel, in the character of Poppy I'airc, proved amusing; Ruth Eppeheimer gave a skillful interpretation of Mrs. Agatha Whatcomhc; Mr. and Mrs. IVngard, the sly crooks, were adeptly acted by William Stafford and Mary Schaeffer; Earl Skinner as Lush, the family butler; Robert llenkels as Jollity Jason, the clever family friend and advisor; Herman Shreiner as Dennet, the jxdice ins|x- tor; and Charlotte Berger, as Palmer, the maid; all gave clever characterizations. rojgggffiX 19 27 Hi .inn.hi Park Hun Welsh Koch K.mlim.in Paine Moore S1ii| e Weaver Derr lloerner fedjaff anniUrrsaiP CELEBRATION of lier fifty-second anniversary, a memorable triumph was scored in the history of Schaff l� y the production of ( lyric Fitch's famous play, Beau Hummel. The action of the play—the scene of which is laid in England—takes place among the meinliers of the upper strata of society. In it one beholds a penniless court idol and Itcrsonal friend of princes and princesses, gradually grow in disfavor as the heartless meshes of love weave themselves more thickly about him, and finally eke out his existence, | oor and broken in temporal things, but still proud and haughty in spirit. To Mr. Welsh must l e given unlimited credit for his interpretation of his most difficult role, the portrayal of the unruffled, unexcitable and most gentlemanly. Beau Brummel; ('.race Kauffman, as Mariana Vincent, was the ideal heroine wealthy, young and pretty; Kathleen, her winsome and j crt Irish maid, was ably played by Miss Watkins; Catherine Shi| e, as Mrs. St. Aubyn, most artistically portrayed the vivacious and clever woman of fashion; Mr. Paine's interpretation of the character of the vacillating Prince of Wales, was natural and realistic, displaying true talent; Miss Winifred Derr, as the old-young Duchess of Leamington, and Mr. Brachman, as Mr. Oliver Vincent, were true to nature characters; as the self-effacing, ever-faithful, English servant. Mortimer, Mr. Stralev scored a marked success; Clair Blum, as Reginald Courtenay, in the first stages of youthful love, merits much praise. Other parts were ably taken by Misses Burr, Park and Wal-Ivert and Messrs, (..miner, lloerner, Koch, Moore, Kratz, Olierholtzer and Mulford.

W'll SON DODD'S famous comedy, ‘‘Pals I irst, was the play presented by the fl Junior Class. Ail extremely clever plot and exceptional acting combined to make it an outstanding success. It is a real American play, laid in Tennessee, in which the negro servants meticulous in their domestic attentions, and an atmosphere of genial hospitality, serve to give it a truly southern setting. The plot centers about the personality of the leading man who assumes the role of Danny Rowland, a professional crook, just esca| ed from San Chientin, and that of a wealthy young heir of an old aristocratic southern family. Clair Blum and Owen Jones played as the Pals. Always inseparable, sharing each others’ sorrows and joys, they impersonated the wonderful friendship which binds two pals together. Clair Blum, as Danny Rowland, played remarkably well. From the verj beginning until the end of the last act he kept the audience convinced that he was the real Danny Rowland and then in his impcrturl able manner gradually proved his identity as the real Dick, whose long absence had caused so much sorrow and 1 as almost completely disrupted his household, (irace Kauffman trade the character of Jean, Dick's sweetheart, a very sweet and charming personality. Dr. Chilton, an unscrupulous lawyer, was admirably portrayer! by Leonard Miller, while C.eorgc Koch, as the squirrel, was a decided success. Miss Alicia, as interpreted by Ruth Kppehcimer, was a gracious, romantic lady of the old school. The negro parts, Cncle Alex and Aunt Caroline, were inimitably characterized by (ieorge Krb and Helen Ort. Karl Skinner, as Judge I ogan, was a gallant old Southern gentleman. Robert ilenkels was the typical detective ably assisted by Ralph Stralcy. Too much credit cannot Ik given to Professor and Mrs. Sheedcr, whose tireless efforts moulder! the play into a finished production. 9 2 7 RUBY ftlubrnt (Pobminteitt Mavi kv Moykk, Pm.

Nations have been made to rise or fall through the power of music, individuals have been driven to the depths or lifted to the heights: Shalc0S| earc Said that the man who has no music in his soul, or is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, Stratagems and spoils. Here in a liberal arts college, where we are taught to appreciate the best in music, art, and literature, music plays a part in our curticulum and in our student life. The college choir which takes part in ef'ficial college exercises; e. g.. the formal opening of the college. Founder's Day, and Commencement, is a restricted organization, the members of which are selected upon merit from both glee clubs. The choir presents a sacred number every week and at Christmas time a special program of appropriate music. The combined glee clubs and the choir give an oratorio on Baccalaureate Sunday. In 1926 they gave Mendelssohn's Alhalic and his Hymn of Braise.” The daily organ preludes in chapel, and the talents displayed in private instruction in piano and voice show that music has its charms. ‘‘And the night slut!! be filled with music And the cures that infest the day.

One hundred forty-six I £ % 7_ 1927 publications TTjfT IS well known that journalism more than most professions requires j -r II sistent effort, often visibly unrewarded for a long time. This phase of t ollege lif«- may find expression in the editing of the Handbook, Weekly and Ruby. The student body, however, concerns itself but little with the tireless efforts of the Weekly staff. There arc, of course, frequent adverse criticisms to l c heard, but very few constructive ideas are ever presented. The Ruby staff receives but little more respect. Hence we feel sure that the hard-working members of these staffs arc loyally upholding I’rsinus ideals, as well as gaining valuable experience in written self-expression. As the college grows we find these publications expanding to meet the growing demands of the institution. The improvement in the Runv for the past decade has been sensational. In an effort to keep in touch with the l est methods employed in other colleges, I'rsinus is a memlier of the Intercollegiate N'ewsjKiper Association of the Middle Atlantic States. Samuel Rcimcrt, present editor of the Weekly, attended the annual conference held May 14 and 15, 1926, at Swarthmore. Fullerton Waldo, of the Public Ledger; II. B. Rathbonc, Department of Journalism of New York University, and Frank Parker addressed the conference. All phases of college publications were discussed. Raisdcll, of Lehigh, was elected president for the current year, and the University will be host to the I. N. A. in its next conference.

The business staff consists of Business, Circulating and Advertising Managers. I bis is a method of dividing the activities of the business staff that has Iteen adopted successfully by many colleges and Crsinus finds that it is by no means an incompetent system. Quite recently, under the leadership of Mr. Samuel Rcimert, the Weekly has been greatly improved, but the editor and his staff find themselves hemmed in by a boundary of insufficient funds and space which will admit no sweeping innovations.

The development of the natural sciences gave emphasis to a group of subjects which were seldom included in a college course. Then by a gradual process there were added courses in physics, chemistry, and biology. At the same time a similar movement along the line of the social sciences was bringing into prominence another group of subjects. The courses in history, economics, sociology, and politics were ever expanding. Also the demand for vocational training further complicated the problem. So it was that the progressive colleges began to realize that an arrangement had to Ik made so that a choice of studies in the direction of training for vocational efficiency would l e permitted, as well as proscribed courses for the pur|� ose of general culture. Out of the chaos engendered by breaking away from the old prescribed curriculum and the adoption of the free elective system, there ap| eared a kind of compromise well adopted to retain the essential and enduring qualities of classified training with the liest features of the free elective system. This arrangement was designated as the Group System of instruction. I’nder this system the courses are offered in carefully organized groups, each comprising dominant subjects which adopt the group to the intellectual tastes and future purposes of the students. I rsinus College has the distinction of being the second college in the Cnited States to pursue this educational program. It was in the year 1894 that the keen foresight and progressiveness of the officials of the institution lead to the organization of the Group System. Each year has seen improvements and modifications in the line of progress as a result of experience until the major jxart of student life and activity centers in the group organization.

'w, Social IKK is not learned from l ooks alone, and college, as a | re|«ration for life, surrounds its student body on every side with inlluences which tend to mold toward a bigger ami fuller appreciation of the art of living. Some one has said that social contact is a controlling element in the life of the individual mind. For a majority of Irsinus students, the social phase of campus life holds an important place in the general scheme of things, and justly so. A fine pro| tort ion of the right amount of play is of equal value with work in developing strong well-1 alanccd manhood and womanhood. Throughout the year much time and attention is devoted to such events as entertainments, dances, plays, fetes, and the like, which are dear to the hearts of all. Ks|� ecially prominent among these activities are the monthly dances where happy hearts and light feet work together in carefree pleasure. Christmas parties and celebrations make December indeed a festive time. Class banquets where comradeship is closest, and the many activities which call for co-operation and work, all make up a complete and satisfying social life. Through these affairs friendships are strengthened, genial spirits draw closer, graciousness and | oisc are developed, and, above all, the never to Ik. forgotten memories of shared pleasures stand out supreme. 19 27 R. U B Y iHap Dap Ip'IIK May Day pageant of 1926, staged on the beautiful West campus, was an event t|L long to lie remembered for its aesthetic appeal and unusual loveliness. The inter pretative dancing of both individuals and groups, colorful costumes, and splendid acting gave to the whole a brilliant finish ami interpretation which made it unique. The theme of the pageant, as worked out i� y the advanced class in expression and pageantry, first depicts the curtain of Despair drawing away in a dance showing Hope chained. She tries in vain to break her bonds, but is finally led away captive. A court lady, whose curiosity leads her to open a huge l� ox, liberates ten horrible furies. A lovely lady, Miss Watkins, wanders into the wood and is crowned Queen of the May by the fairies. The prince, charmed by her Ix-auty, offers her his hand, but is driven off by the Furies who capture the lady. The Prince, after a long search, finds the lady and amid much rejoicing she is crowned Queen. Klla Watkins, 26, made an ideal May Queen, radiating graciousness and beauty in every move. Lovely and suggestive music added greatly to the success of the whole affair. The old tradition of May Day has always formed a major event on the college program, in which imagination and fancy hold full sway. The 1926 pageant stands out as one of superior merit and charm in every detail. Ipceum Course HE community entertainment course consisted of a well-balanced group of unusually fine programs rendered by artists of character and talent. The ( otter's Saturday Night” was a delightful production of Burns' well-known |M em, and in I Kith songs and atmosphere gave a very realistic characterization of Scottish life. A distinctive program of MacDowcll numliers was given by the Mac Dowell Concert Company which is composed of musicians of prominence. The internationally known Adanac Male Quartet proved to lie an outstanding success. The interpretation and polish given to every number on their well-selected program showed genuine ability. II. Kuthven MacDowcll, the leader, won the hearts of all with his rich basso voice and pleasing personality. The climax of the course was reached in the appearance of the Philharmonic String Quartet in a program of unequalled merit. Every ntcmlier of the quartet is a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and their sutxtrior skill and talent were easily recognized by all who were privileged to hear them. They were ably assisted by Miss Jane Howell, a cultura soprano, whose deligthfui voice and personal charm added greatly to the program.

However, the meetings of these two latter organizations are ojx-n to each and every student and they are urged to attend.

It is ho|H' l that this year the Brotherhood will help many students to find themselves spiritually and inspire them to daily consecration to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Their work has come to la supplanted by other clubs, but it has not been supplanted. Zwinglian and Schaff are still active in the I est of campus life. The wcll-roundetl programs featuring music, drama, and essay attract large crowds weekly. It is really necessary to have a sympathetic, though critical audience In-fore which one can develop his talents. This, in a word, is the chief aim of the societies. Four changes of officers a year gives almost every one an opportunity to serve in some capacity. The skill here attained in coaching sketches stands many a future teacher in good stead. Orators, readers, humorists here give their maiden performances and are grateful to Zwinglian or Schaff for giving them a trial before stepping forth on the larger rostra of life. Those who have worked together for a society entertain a warm affection and lasting regard for all associated with that phase of college life. Thus the societies uphold the standards of our Alma Mater, in fostering the friendly spirit that has always characterized the school.

They named it after Dr. Philip SchafT, at that time president of the Union Theological Seminary in New York City. In the preamble of the constitution they voiced their desire “to qualify themselves in the art of speaking and writing and to promote the l� cst interest of this institution.” Throughout the years, Schaff has for the most part, remembered these ideals. Not only in the anniversary play, for many years an outstanding feature of her annual program, but in her weekly meetings, she has upheld these standards. She is cordial in welcoming new meml ers, helpful in serving old ones. While other dub and activities have taken over or supplemented certain functions originally belonging to the literary societies there is still a place for them in the life of the college. So long as quality is the criterion by which both mcmltcrs and programs are judged, the society will have satisfied its raison d'etre.

To symbolize the aim of its organizers the name of the great zealous reformer, Zwingli, was adopted as the name of the society. Meetings are held every Friday night throughout the college year. Here the talent of the members of the society is developed, encouraged, and displayed in such manner as the program of the evening demands. The most important feature of Zwing is its anniversary, consisting of the presentation of a play, on the last meeting liefore Faster recess. The age of Zwing testifies to what degree its members have worked for the society, for it is through effort that the ideals of the organizers have lieen kept alive.

To perpetuate the interest in athletics and to promote a development of tin- fraternal spirit among the athletes themselves it was felt that a more concerted action was necessary. Since its initial ap| earancc on the campus, the club has done much constructive work along the lines for which it was organized. It has played a dominant factor in all issues which have been presented to the Athletic Executive Committee. The organization at present is dormant awaiting the action of the Athletic Council ap|N intcd by the Hoard of Directors.

Secretary-Treasurer Rkv. Caivin Yost. '91, Collcgeville, Pa. Historian Rev. C'ari. Petri, '00. Skippock, Pa. object of the Alumni Association is to maintain for I'rsiiius College the hearty and united supi ort of its graduates and former students and to advance the interests of the College in all proper ways. This organization furnishes through its many activities some outlet at least for the expression of the average graduate's desire to do something for his college, through the responsibility for constructive action rests naturally upon the officers, who are chosen to represent the alumni | oint of view. The activities of the association are manifold. It is the leader and staunch sup|X rtor in cani|Kiigns for endowments and is invaluable in the securing of gifts or funds for special pur| oscs. It has an active | art in the interesting of prospective students ami in all undergraduate organizations. It maintains an accurate and complete address list. It is a keen and enthusiastic sup|� orter of athletics. It also has zealous committees on religious and women student activities. The I’rsinus Weekly, harbinger of all the college activities, is the pro|K rtv of the Alumni Association. Five of the directors of the College are alumni, one being elected annually to serve for a period of five years. During commencement week the Association holds its annual meeting. These are only a few of the various fields toward which the Alumni interest is tending. However, the personal interest and whole-hearted intelligent support of the I'rsinus Alumni cannot lie measured tangibly. The whole alumni body has l ecn organized into an association with consistent local chapters. There are eleven such organizations having their centers as follows: I larrisburg, York, Pel anon, Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Reading, Lancaster, Tamaqua, Chamliersburg, and the states of Ohio and New York. Kach of these branches has at its head men of the highest qualifications, and through them I'rsinus is expanding into greater usefulness. These local organizations have a somewhat wider horizon, including national and civic affairs as well as the broader college interests. They have various social and business meetings during the year wherein the relationship of the college to the world in general is stressed. In this modern age where the all inclusive educational program holds sway, much of the burden rests upon the shoulders of the alumni. It is their duty to see that the old standard is maintained despite the new standard of liberty, ever rememliering that real loyalty can 1 C shaken by deterioration but not by progress. THE ALl'MNl ATHLETIC CLUB Numerous alumni and interested friends of the College constituted an alumni athletic club several years ago which proposes to foster a better athletic spirit at I'rsinus through a more loyal spirit of co-operation among the students, alumni, and friends; to aid in improving the material equipment at the College, including buildings, grounds, and the furnishings thereof; to provide ways and means of making possible a college education at I'rsinus for men who otherwise would not have such an opportunity. One hundred seventy rpctTcx X. 9 27 R_ The Club has been highly influential in promoting and enlarging the opportunities of the student body during the past decade. It has been instrumental in placing many thousands of collars worth of equipment on the campus; it has erected grand stands, repaired the field cage, and completed the track; it has offered and granted scholarships to fifty or more students; it has co-ordinated and united the interest of alumni and students as well. As the college grows and expands, as more and more students eventually become alumni, this organization will grow and expand its future portends to U one of great achievements.

The Crsinus Woman's Club had its beginning in the Women’s Graduate Association, This latter organization was formed in June, 1014, as the result of a meeting of enthusiastic women graduates. Three years later, realizing that there were many women not graduates of the College, who were interested and eager to do something for the Crsinus girls, the constitution of the organization was amended so as to include other than graduates for memltership. In keeping with this, the name was changed to the Crsinus Woman's Club. The aim of the association is to promote the interests of the College in general and, in particular, to secure greater advantages for its young women students. Throughout the years this object has been staunchly upheld and the Crsinus girls have received numerous worthwhile liencfits at the hands of the club. Although the activities of the organization are various, they have l ccn centered about a definite project the development of the Crsinus girl along all lines, so that the women students may l c given every opportunity to develop physically it has been the custom of the club to provide a physical director for the girls. Numerous musical and dramatic programs are rendered by artists under its direction. Chief among these is the unique and delightful program for Founders' Night. So that the Crsinus girl may not Ik- deficient socially, the club provides annually a numlier of enjoyable sot ial functions. The furnishing of the V. W. C. A. rooms by the club aided materially in the religious work of that organization. This year the club is working toward a greater goal: the building of a new dormitory for the women students. A really worthwhile beginning has been made and the club is steadily progressing toward this end ever remembering the slogan of the jKist year A Greater Crsinus.

In the back field for the Bears, such men as Captain Stanley Mover, 150-lb. half-back and famous line bucker, coupled with the clever running of Paul Chcrin, 165-lb. freshman halfback, anti the completed pass from Bill Mover to Bob Henkcls, were the outstanding features of the game. The Bears threatened to score several times, only to lose the ball on downs at the crucial moment. Karly in the fourth | eriod the varsity seemed to be on a sure march for a touchdown. I’rsinus received the ball on its own 20-yard line. Cherin made nine yards on an end run; S. Moyer hit center for a first down. Passes gained nine yards. Chcrin made a first down oil tackle. A pass, Bill Moyer to llcnkcls, gained 20 yards, and another | ass gained a first down. At this time, however, the necessary punch was lacking and the Temple line held for downs. RUTGERS On the Saturday following the game with Temple the Bears traveled to New Brunswick and engaged in the second battle of the season with the scarlet clad lx� ys from Jersey on Wilson f ield. The tackling of Big Tom Clark, 190-lb. center, and Buck Faust, 165-lb. end, which time after time stopped the offensive attack of the Kutgcrs backficld were the highlights of the game. Captain Stanley Moyer, receiving an injury to the head on the first play, was forced to leave the field for the remainder of the game The scoring of Kutgcrs occurred in both the first and last ix’riods, one touchdown being scored in each and with the extra points after the touchdowns won the gamcat 14-0.

I 1F.1 RE I'he brilliant line-bucking of Captain Stanley Moyer in the Uickficld and the stublxtrii resistance offered on the line by Captain-elect Schell, varsity guard for three years, and Charles Metcalf, playing his first year on the line, both weighing DO llwc, featured the third encounter of the season for the Hears. “Hill Hcnncr and “Stan Moyer were here, there and everywhere, frequently breaking through the line for first downs and more. Time after time did the Delaware hackficld meet a stone wall in Schell and Metcalf. I'rsi-11 ns making seven first downs in the second half to none by the visitors was a sure indication of the strong offensive attack offered by the Hears. As fate would have it, however, the Delaware lads were able to score and win the game by a lone touchdown. ERA A-KLIN A XD MA RSI I ALL Trouncing their traditional rivals in a thrilling 13-7 battle on Patterson Field, the Crsinqs Hears scored the first and only victory of the P 26 season and defeated F. M. for the first time since 1923 when Sammy” Eckerd’s field goal turned back the Lancaster lads in a 3-0 score. In the backficld it was the running, dodging, tackling, and IKissing of quarterback, Hill Moyer, who ran 65 yards through the entire F. iv M. team for the initial touchdown, only three minutes after the starting of the game, followed by other runs of 35, 2ft, and 15 yards. This, together with the line-bucking and clever defensive play of Mink, 160-ll� . fullback, made the victory a more decisive one. Never was a game so replete with long runs, sensational line bucks and clever aerial work as was that one. The tackling and fine defensive play of Earl Skinner, 175-ll . tackle and veteran of three years, on one side, and Frank Strine, 168-lb. tackle on the other side of the line. One hundred seventy-eight Alii 1927 RU made the enemy backfield look sick. Meeting a stonewall in these two tackles the visitors were forced to resort to end runs and passes. In the backfield also the name of Jeffers, who ran wild against the Army later in season, must Ik- mentioned for his sensational run of 35 yards for the second touchdown after a completer] pass. Thus the first conference game was won. SWARTII MORE The accurate toe of Kay Schell registering a beautiful placement gave Crsinus its only srore of the afternoon .it Swarthmore in a closely contested game marred by a wet, muddy field. Despite the unfavorable playing facilities, however, the Bears registered several long runs, throwing a scare into the Swarthmorc camp and keeping the two thousand 8| ectators present constantly thrilled. On the line. Hitchcock, 1 S0-II . freshman tackle from Vermont Academy, standing 6 ft. 1 in. in height, was a tower of strength, darting here and there to down the .arnct warriors without a gain. The ever-elusive Jeffers broke lose on several occasions and was a continual threat to the home team. ‘‘Bill Moyer was in his licst punting form, continually out-punting his rival, Castle, and registering the longest kick of tin- day, a beautiful spiral for 55 yards. The Bears started the game off with a rush that carried everything before it. From a punt “Bill” Moyer advanced the kill to midfield. Jeffers on the next play, held the stands 8| ell-l ound when he slipjied around right end for a 40-yard gain, the longest run of the game. It was on the next play that Schell drop|icd back and kicked a placement for the only I’rsinus score. In the second period, Dulton for Swarthmorc, carried the ball over from the 5-yard line for the op|K)iicnts‘ only score of the game. GETTYSBURG In a hard-fought game against great odds, l� eing outweighed about 15 lbs. to the man, the grizzly eleven Ixiwed liefore the strong battlefield gridiron machine at Gettysburg by One hundred sreenty-ninc a 30-0 store, l-'or the invaders Shell played a lieauiiful defensive game, blocking up holes, intercepting passes and recovering fumbles. ‘‘Bob llenkcls on the right wing played a stellar game, making sensational tacklcsand completing several long gains. Bob Johnson on the opposite wing acquitted himself nobly, running down under punts and nailing his man without a gain. As a whole, however, the team seemed unable to muster enough |M� wer to gain consistently and was only successful at times in gaining on forward passes. An aerial attack launched by the Bears at the beginning of the second half was splendidly broken up and they were forced to play on the defense thereafter. GEORGE II 'A SUING TON it was Walter ( amp Memorial Day and many notable jKTSonageS were present in the boxes of the enormous stands of the Clark (Griffith American League Baseball Park in Washington. I). ( ., as the I rsintis Bears engaged in battle with the Capitol City team. As the smoke of the battle clearer! the Washington lads emerged victorious in a hard-fought 6-3 struggle with Kit Mine's warriors. Again the | erfcct placement kick of Schell in the first quarter accounted for the only Crsinus score of the game. The defensive work of Owen Jones, in the backfield, who, time after time, broke up the (Kissing attack of the Washington iKickfield was spectacular. The giant form of Joel, 6 ft. 2y2 in. and weighing 195 lbs., playing at right guard, was the outstanding star in the line. Ilis smearing of plays, tackling men and blocking up holes were done to such |ierfection that the Washington backfield was unable to gain through the line. C� eorge Washington's aerial attack was s|x-ctacular; a total distance of over 200 yards being gained on seventeen completed passes out of twenty-five. C.eorge Krb. tlie flashy Crsinus halfback, was likewise a thorn in the opponents' aerial attack, but suffering from torn shoulder ligaments in this game, was forced to give up football for the remainder of the season. The home team registered the only touchdown of the game One hu mi red eighty late in the second | crio l. A 15-yard penalty and a long | ass. Stchman to Sapp, gained 40 yards. Line bucks and another jxiss put the ball on the I'rsinus 5-yard line, after which St eh man dove over the goal line for 6 | oints, ‘‘Tom” Clark blocking the try for the extra point. PUS NS YL I A SI A MILITA K V COLLEGE The Bears again stepped forth from their lair, this time to engage in I attic with the Chester Cadets, losing a poorly played game by a 2‘ -7 score. The smashing attack of the little army proved too much for the Bears and the first quarter saw three touchdowns chalked up against the Collegeville outfit. The remainder of the game, however, proved to I e a lietter one, with Skinner and Clark on the line, and Mink and Jeffers in the hack-field, I earing the brunt of the defense. A 90-yard dash for a touchdown from the kick-off in the third | eriod by ’‘Joe McCaf-ferty, midget quarterback for the Cadets, was the outstanding feature of the game. I'rsinus made its lone touchdown in the same jicriod. Receiving the ball on the 58-yard line forward passes and line bucks by Mink and Moyer brought the ball to the I . M. C. 4-yard line, after which a forward | ass, Moyer to Jeffers, scored the touchdown, Schell adding the extra point. This marked the final game of the I'rsinus Varsity before tackling the Army at West Point, and was no indication of the game to be played later. For had the Bears displayed the same ability against P. M. C. as they evidenced against the Army there would have ! een little doubt as to the outcome. ARM Y The I'rsinus eleven playing one of the greatest games ever played by an I'rsinus team covered itself with glory and staged one of the biggest surprises of the l‘ 26 gridiron season by holding the strong Army team to a 21-15 score at West Point. Tackling, charging, clipping, and (Kissing as they had never done In-fore, the Red, ()ld ( lold and Black warriors scored two touchdowns and a safety against the cohorts of the Jones coached machine, throwing a big score into the entire Army team and threatening to tie the score. On One hiitulrctl riglily-ntic r0L 19 27 RUBY j Stan Movkr. Catfttin several occasions I lie regular varsity eleven were held for downs by the lighting I'rsinns aggregation. Every man on the I’rsinus team deserved credit for the remarkable showing made. Tin-Army scored two touchdowns in the first quarter. Neither team scored in the second quarter, the half ending in a 14-0 court. The Bears received the ball in the second half and began an offensive that was destined not to stop. Taking the ball on the 40-yardline, “Bill” Moyer threw a perfect pass to Jeffers, who, after stopping its flight, made the most sensational run of the day and scored the first marker for I'rsinus. Schell kicked a lieautiful field goal making the score 14-7. After an exchange of punts the Pointers with great difficulty again scored, making the count 21-7. A bad pass to C.ilbreth behind the goal line, who was tackled by Johnson, was responsible for a safety. I'rsinus received the kick and perfect passing Moyer to Jeffers brought the ball to the Army I-yard line, where Bill” Moyer shredded through center for the second and last touchdown, making the final score read: Army 21—I’rsinus 15. It was the accurate passes of “Bill Moyer and his heady generalship, coupled with the clever open-field running and tackling of Jeffers, and the brilliant showing ofevery member of the team, that glorified the ending of the 1926 season.

The entire varsity squad composed of Bigley, lloagey, Roehm, and Kern, forwards; Captain Sterner, ( lark, Evans and W. Moyer, guards; Perk and Newcomer, centers, saw action in this game giving a good account of themselves. The third straight victory of the season was annexed when the Albright College (Kissers were taken over in one of the roughest games of the seasonal Mycrstownbya 28-21 score. The dribblers avenged the football defeat administered to Crsinus by Delaware by displaying midseason form in downing the Newark lads in a most thrilling encounter, 25-20, making it four straight. HK opening of the 1925-26 basketball season %J j found Coach Kichline in jx ssession of a veteran team. The schedule arranged by Manager Stafford was one of the most difficult ever faced by an Crsinus quintet, and although the Bears won only ten out of the eighteen games player!, the season was considered a success; such teams as Davis Klkins, St. Joseph’s, Osteopathy, and Delaware having been listed among the victories. Delaware took the lead from the tap-off and held the edge through the first half by superb field goal shooting of l.ichcnstein, who was a constant threat to the Bears, having garnered four double-deckers and a foul to his credit. With five minutes remaining to play, Crsinus trailed 14-15, but with the splendid guarding of Kvaii , who held l.ichcnstein scoreless during the second period ami a rally in the last stages of the game again put the varsity in the forefront to establish their reputation as a winning team. The fifth straight victory was none other than the 42-12 triumph over Moravian College from Bethlehem, in which the varsity and Junior Varsity scored almost at will from beginning to finish with a 22-5 lead at the end of the first half. Saturday, January 16th, marked the first defeat of the season to the varsity by the Swarthmorc five at Swarthmore, 24-18. The second setback of the season was taken from the hands of Penn at Weight-man Mall after a two week's lay-off and was a 24-2S victory for the Quakers coached by Eddie McNichol. SifcRvut. Cur:-! After losing two straight, the varsity again got into the winning habit, turning victor in the most difficult game of the season by defeating the strong Davis Hiking quintet from West Virginia, 34-32. It was the fastest and most thrilling game of kisketball ever played in Thoni| son cage. This victory marked the first defeat the visitors had received in thirty straight starts. Both teams played air-tight ball and only after marvelous passing and dribbling was either able to score. The southerners held a slight advantage throughout the first jH-riod and due to Christy's sensational tossing led. 18-13, when the first twenty-minute | eriod was up. The sensational playing of Evans and Hoagey, storing point by point for the Bears brought the closing score to a 32-32 tie and the extra five minutes resulted in a 34-32 victory. Fresh from their victory over I avis-Klkins, Coach Kichline’s warriors took over the Juniata five at the start of a three-day trip, winning by a 27-25 score at Huntington. The game was a fast one and it was not until the last minute of play that victory was assured the Bears, when 1C vans received a pass and drop| ed in a |H-rfect goal from the foul line, breaking the deadlock and giving I'rsinus a 27-25 verdict. I lie Red and Black was less successful at Emmitsburg, where a 30-13 defeat was rendered by Mt. St. Mary's. When Sterner's gang faced (Gettysburg they were out to avenge the football defeat, but fate deemed otherwise. The first half started out at a terrific pace with I’rsinus leading, 24-22, lloagey having scored eight field goals. In the second half C.erhardt duplicated lloagey's stunt, running tip a 40-36 final over the Collegeville boys. Another week-end trip brought two more defeats to the Bears, the first to Brooklyn Poly, 32-12. The following night the team journeyed to New York, where they met the City College team and being unable to get Started in time to overcome their op|K ncnts lead, lost a 21-15 game. The first home defeat of the season was lost to Lebanon Valley, 37-28. The isitors took the lead at the start, tluc to the clever shooting of (Gilbert and were never headed. After losing five straight the Bears again rallied and won the next three. The first to St. Joseph’s in a rough, hard-fought game, ending in a 29-22 victory; the second from Albright College, at home. 52-29; the third, from llaverford, 32-30, which was the first time in three years that llaverford was defeated by I'rsinus on their own floor. The final game of the season, that with Temple Cniversity at Philadelphia, was lost, due to the inability of the I'rsinus men to shoot fouls, having out-scored the Philadelphians from the floor. 8-7, the final score of the game being 23-21.

With five veterans of the 1925 season lost to the team, ten men remained from the previous varsity squad. The main deficiency, however, in the make-up of the team was the scarcity of pitchers of varsity calibre which in the final analysis accounted for the loss of many games. Old man rain looked down favorably u|x n the schedule and withheld his tears, for not one game was called on account of unfavorable weather. Textile, of Philadelphia, the first op|H nent, was set down to defeat by the mighty hand of Captain Dcrk in a 4-2 contest on Patterson Field, April 10th, The game, although loosely played at times, was featured by nineteen strike-outs by Moxie.” The initial game saw numerous shiftings in the line-up in order to test out the new candidates at their res| cctivc positions. The following Wednesday marked the first defeat of the season by the Lehigh nine at Bethlehem in an 11-.? victory for Jing” Johnson's aggregation. The game started out with a bang, lloagey clouting the second pitched ball for a home run. Biglcy scored in the second inning on his double and Benner's single, while Dcrk scored in the fourth on a base on balls, Moyer’s sacrifice and Biglcy’s single. This ended the scoring for the Red, Old Cold and Black. Lehigh’s rally proved too much and with Derk’s retirement in the sixth the Bethlehcmites forged ahead to win. On Tuesday the Bears lost an 11-6 decision from Osteopathy at home in an erratic fielding game. Carl, with a double, a triple and a homer, was the batting ace of the day. The next Friday morning saw the varsity leaving Collegevillc for a four-day trip, which included Juniata, Penn State, and Susquehanna. The results, however, were rather disastrous, for the Bears lost a miserable exhibition at Juniata, 11-7; Penn State took the winning count in an 8-5 victory. Captain Dcrk hurled splendid ball, but poor infield playing offset his splendor. For the “U men the fielding of W. Moyer and Benner featured. Coming back strong in the final game of the series Coach Kithline’s proteges defeated Susquehanna, 2-1. Crecr, on the mound for I’rsinus, had the Sclings-grove boys eating out of his hand, only four singles l eing made off his delivery. The home field on Wednesday was the scene of another varsity defeat, in which Lebanon Valley scored a 5-4 victory. The game resulted in a pitchers' duel l ctwccn Derk and Kciglc, with neither moundsman having the edge until loose fielding by the Bears S|x4lcd defeat. The redeeming feature of the season was the fighting grizzly spirit which clawed the Penn nine for a 5-2 victory for the Collegevillc lads the following Tuesday. Dcrk, pitching for I’rsinus, played one of the beat games of his career, and although the Quakers outliit the Bears, 8 to 6, airtight support bv the Red, Old Gold and Black held Penn safely. Saturday afternoon saw the varsity nine at the short end of a 5-7 score at the hands of F. M. on Patterson Field, marking the second defeat in one season by the ancient rivals. Sammy Eckert, Boa E. Uanotfr One hundred ninety-one April21st found the Bears at Lancaster, engaged in the third I attic of the season with F. M. gaining the final decision by an 11-9 score. Both teams hit the ball hard with F. M. garnering 11 runs on 11 hits, while the Bears had 9 runs on 9 hits. The following Saturday Albright was taken over the rocks by the Collegevillc nine on Patterson Field, 13-9. Mink on the mound for I'rsinus pitched good ball with Jones, Biglcy, Benner, and Erb carrying off the batting honors. QTgffis 19 27 R.

Saturday, May 29th, marked the final victory of the season for the Bears, in which the “I ' men ran wild against Delaware, scoring a 13-0 win. The Bruins again wielded heavy sticks, pounding out nineteen safety swats, including a home run by Bigley. Schuylkill College, of Reading, journeyed to Patterson Field early Saturday mornirg Alumni Day, and outslugged the Bears in the last game of the season, finishing on the long side of a 9-5 score.

I-Tanklin and Marshall came next and again lloos engaged in a titanic struggle, this time with Stein, but he emerged on the long end and scored I’rsinus’ lone |x int. At Moravian two points were scored, although the team lost. Houston Spangler won and the doubles team of Spangler and Oppenheimcr came through to victory. Next the team surprised and defeated Osteopathy by a score of four to two. A triumph by Walter Spangler and Tomlinson in second doubles enabled victory to perch on the Red, Old (� old and lilack banner. After losing to I .

With the existence of a live organization of its kind on the campus, it is | ossil)le for all the girls to be thoroughly acquainted with the college sports and at the same time gives them the opportunity to register their opinions. In this respect the association serves its true pur-| ose, because, athletics should form a part of the life, not only of those fortunate few who make a team, but of every girl at college. A real success is achieved only when the enthusiasm and supjtort of all the girls accompanies a victory on field and court. In order to interest a greater number of girls directly in active participation in games, the Athletic Council awards not only a varsity “C to members of the hockey and basketball teams, but awards a letter known as the s|M rtmanship C” to any woman student, who, by faithful attendance, good spirit and enthusiasm for each seasonal activity, has shown an effort to live up to the ideals of good s| ortmanship. In addition numerals are awarded the memltcrs of the various class teams. The Crsinus girls are striving for I letter and ever liettcr athletics.

Hiking is definitely organized, a club having been formed which awards letters to those who have attained the essential requisites. Many and delightful are the hikes along the Pcrkiomen and through the nearby woods, particularly in the spring and the fall. Swimming was definitely authorized and regulated by the college authorities in the fall of 1925 and has been increasing in popularity ever since. Under the supervision of Miss Krrctt and other accredited instructors in the Xcrcdian art, many girls have learned to swim, and others to improve their skill. It is ho| ed that a contest of some sort can l e arranged in the near future. Tennis has long been popular, and although it has suffered by competition with swimming in the last two seasons, many co-eds participate in the sport. It is the intention of the Women's Athletic Association to revive the annual tennis tournament which has Iteen neglected the last three years, and which was an important part of the spring s|x rt curriculum in seasons past.

The legend runs that some two families (large ones) Ix-camc lost in the dense fog as William Penn and his party floated down the Pcrkio-tnen in quest of a location for a fur-trading | ost. These energetic families realizing the great need of education built and furnished a log school house and in 1X27 named it Ursinus, due to the great herds of bears which they saw giving chase to honey bees through the dense foliage. Suitable means and methods of maintaining and financing such an institution was a great source of trouble to the originators. Late in the fall of that year a brave thrill seeker anchored his canoe in the harbor, and rented a wigwam for the night. He learned of the need of an instructor for the infant schoolroom and immediately offered his services. Day after day he could l e seen traveling to and fro with his books in the left hand and a dog in the l x in the other. The co-education idea was soon advanced by the new instructor and met with great favor among the inhabitants of the environment, thus affording j equal rights for men and women. The men usually attired themselves in buck-skin suits, while those of the op|x sitc sex wore hoop skirts. Continuing to grow we find the schoolroom a very few years later with three additional benches in it and an additional annex—a wood shed. Ulrsinus in 1927 Proud of the early start in the field of education the board of directors and faculty of the small school changed the name to college and in 1927 there were enrolled exactly 417 persons. The vital question of the day was whether or not to have compulsory military training or naval training. It was decided to leave the matter to the boys and they in turn decided to go 50-50 thus wearing army shoes and sailor pants. The Dean of Women not to l)c outdone on any occasion made a motion regarding compulsory wearing or Peter Pan dresses for all young women, but it met with a great reverse. Instead of the girls rolling their hoops they are now rolling their socks instead. The curriculum consists of such studies as horseback riding, letterwriting, canoeing, and interior decorating. Young men arc also taught the | ropcr method of entering a chicken house and extracting some of the mcml ers without disturbing the peace of the others present. The campaign was a great success and immediately contractors l cgan work upon the spurious buildings that were to adorn the campus in the future. A tenqiorary domestic science kitchen was the first structure to lx- completed and the co-eds rushed into the work of baking mudpies. Students journey to their classes now in the modern way—outfitted with galoshes and slickers and no longer do they carry their lunches, but are fed from the hands of a culinary department that is destined to Inin |x)wer until death. Those underweight are reporting to the Webb dietitian and in a very short time are up to normal again. ZUrsinus in 2027 Aw! what splendor the ITsinus of 2027 presents. Spinous, well-lighted, ventilated, mammouth structures adorn that ever-enlarging campus. Trees, evergreen, shrubs, statuary, memorials, sundials, botanical gardens, and canyons are also a part of the lK-autiful panoramic view that is stamped indelibly upon all who gaze at the horizon as they pass through Collegeville.

If you flatter a man it frightens him to death, and if you don’t you I Hire him to death. If you permit him to make love to you he gets tired of you in the end: and if you don’t he gets tired of you in the beginning. If you believe him in everything you soon Cease to charm him. If you lielicve all he tells you he thinks you’re a fool and if you don’t he thinks you’re a cynic. If you wear gay colors and rouge, and a startling hat he hesitates to take you out, and if you wear a little brown togue and a tailored suit, he takes you out and stares all evening at a woman in gay colors, rouge, and a startling hat. If you join in the gaieties and approve of his smoking, lie swears you are driving him to the devil, and if you don’t approve of his smoking, and urge him to give you his gaieties, he vows you are snobbish and goody-goody. If you are a clinging vine type he wonders whether you have any brains and if you strut your sturdy oak stuff he doubts whether you have a heart. If you are silly he longs for a serious mate, and if you are brilliant and intellectual he longs for a playmate. Women are what need men: to relieve the monotony of pulling each others’ hair, and for protection. (These are only some of the reasons.) Like automobiles, women are all made along the same general lines; but too many Fords are turned out. Men like something that doesn't have a continuous rattle in the head and can be moved about explains—“the kind a man wants to own. Generally speaking, women may lie divided into three classes: wives, old maids, and grass widows. An old maid is a mass of superiority saturated with self-importance, and surrounded by a galaxy of inconsistencies. Wives are of three varieties: peaches, lemons, and green persimmons. Making a wife out of a woman is to use that awful process of the mind that disturbs jieace and produces discord in the sympathetic nervous system. Grass widows are second handwomcn who lay in wait for those who come. (Flappers are too young in age and experience to merit sjiecial classification.) Wives are born not made. It is a miracle of illusion that a man, clean cut, serious minded, and rational being that he is should condescend to kiss a frivolous, powder, and rouge besmudged being like a woman. If you flatter a woman she gets high-hat; if you don’t she despises you. A woman is just a made-from-rib creature, a social butterfly; she flits about showing her bright colorings, trying to impress the world that she is independent, but she gets no place till she clings to a passing man'. The only way to get rid of her is to apply butterfly powder in “divorsial homocidal or suicidal doses. Two hundred ten ®Homen without being cranked.

Eitkiieimkr, Testatrix. Two hundred fourteen Convictions committee on convictions of the Senior Cl.iss Book has often in the last few ilL months felt like Diogenes, only we've l een looking for wisecracks in a group of papers containing the convictions of our classmates upon many questions concerning I rsinus ami college life. The bright spots, however, have l een many, and, in fact, very bright, indeed so bright, we have had to censor many of them. We have found that our classmates are not a bit backward in expressing their convictions which they have formulated in the four chaotic years we have served here. Perhaps many did not realize that their names appeared in this l ook alongside their convictions, perhaps they didn't care or per-haps they trusted the committee. We don't know. Nevertheless, we’ve tried to present this mass of material in as representative a manner as j ossiblc and suffice it to say we really believe that there arc many l.ardners and Witwers among us. NO CASHr was the most impressive and most used explanation given for not attending dances. Even in these days when every one is able to take his own girl home after the dance. Strinc is under the impression that if he ever did “drag a girl all the others of tin-fair sex would commit suicide. Wouldn’t that Ih! awful? CONTAINS ALL THE LATEST NEWS. AS LATE AS POSSIBLE is Toots' view of the Weekly. Yes, but it is nice to know what's at the Hendrick’s Movies, isn’t it ? Skinner must read between the lines, for lie claims that the weather rejMirts arc-good. It is the mouthpiece of I'rsinus, but is ofttimes tongue-tied, is Fitzkec's opinion, while Denny thinks it is excellent to start fires with, but we know it’s not hot enough for that. Paul Wisler complains that he has never been to a political jxirty. § § i OVERHEARD IN THE HI NINO ROOM Mini. Khrct: Is your coffee hot? Kus. Boice: Not very, why? Mini.

FROM A HISTORY TEXT The accused were condemned, some to capital punishment, others to Siberia for life, or for a longer |� eriod of time. Two hundred fifteen seems somewhat conflicting with its provisions. to be the characteristic opinion of the eighteenth amendment. Nace feels that it has been a great aid to the Dean. HelfYrich says, “It is a thing to give the Dean something to talk about.” Baker feels that its an ill wind that blows no one any good, saying, “The shellac manufacturers should profit by the increased price of their products, due to the amendment. “A HOWLING SUCCESS is llenk's opinion of the C.lee Club, while Koelim, no doubt inspired by the romance of the (dee Club practices, and taking into consideration his remembrances of t’rsinus after June, remarks, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder.” It appears that Hnoch would relish the prospect of hearing the Club sing Far, Far Away” or even “All Alone.” Fortunately the (dec Club’s reputation is not entirely ruined, for Harding McKee finds an alibi in saying, “Well, nobody can sing in a tux. In final consideration of the club, Schell says, “They sing the rests remarkably well. WINE, WOMEN AND E'S are the big reasons for so many leaving college, according to I laas. Maybe it’s because they haven’t enough witality. Kochie is supported by several in saying, it is because of too much night work. We can't quite figure out what Blum means when he says, Sore eyes,” but we’ll let the reader judge for himself. However, we have our suspicions. Hoag land claims it is due to the Dean’s “fire department. Yes, they do put out a lot over there. Two hundred sixteen “OTHER CLASSES Rare possibilities—indeed very rare is Kratz's opinion of the other classes. And this was about the most discriminating conviction expressed —so you can stretch your imagination to surmise the rest. Tom Clark says something about having seen ponies ln-fore. We surmise that he must mean four legs to make the grade. They are necessary evils, —according to Stan. Well, we guess so—for if they weren't around we’d have a hard job Ingrowing suitable coats. $ $ § A I) VERT I SING NOTES Four out of every five (days we get beans).
