Rosen f JvM MATEfl CAMPUS SONG When the shades of evening gather Ursinus students hie To the soft, grecnswarded campus. For a time their books laid by: And the parting rifts of sunlight. As they linger soft and long. Shed a hallowed gleam of gladness On our merriment and song. Now the glees of old Ursinus Peal across the downy green. From Memorial to Olevian Span the distance far between. And the walls of dear old Freeland The reverberations fling From the Fast Wing to the Dog I louse, As our voices loudly ring. Then across the Perkiomen The chimneys wing their flight. Till beyond the far-flung hilltops They kiss 1 leaven s dome of light: Then as if they rued their boldness Come the trembling echoes back: And thus end the winged praises Of the Red. Old Gold and Black. ADMINISTRATION The Greater UR5iMU5 Cf.orgf. L. Omwake, LL. D.. Ped. I).; President Twenty-three Jamks .VI. S. Isi.nbkrc, D.

Forty-two Health Department MISS DORSEY. Resident Nurse This very important part of our college curriculum is ably provided for by the administration This department is in charge of Doctor Price, a graduute of the college, and now a very eminent physician in Norristown and Philadelphia. I le is assisted by Miss Dorsey, a nurse of wide experience. Physical examinations are required of all new students, as well as those of the upper classes. The doctor has regular office hours in the campus office, but can be called at any time from his residence in Norristown. The college has provided for two infirmaries. The lx ys’ infirmary is situated in Derr Hall and the girls’ infirmary at Maples Hall. Because of the close vigilance of this department over the resident students, practically no serious illnesses arc in evidence. Forty-three CLASSES SENIORS Win i i IIknm;k, I’ll . I'or ty-eight Class I listory URSINUS must ever mark the eventful day of September, 1925. that brought our class here as Freshmen. Though green we seemed, and green we soon looked with the decorations that the Sophomores so kindly bestowed on us we can proudly relate that we defeated our rivals in the tug-of-war. girls hockey game, and football. I he one event that pointed out the superiority of the Sophomores was their ability to keep our President from the sumptuous Freshman banquet at the I lotel Adclphia in Philadelphia. We proceeded with our banquet in somewhat dampened spirits, but nevertheless its purpose of unifying the class was thoroughly attained. As Sophomores we advanced a big step in the life of Ursinus by getting our U” rings, of which every one was proud. We revealed our extreme kindness to the Frosh by dividing athletic honors with them. Our fine records were kept up when we were Juniors by putting over’ something new in the form of Junior Week-end. 1 he first happy feature was the dinner to which Juniors and their guests were invited. Though ours was the first Junior Prom, wc fear that none hereafter will reach its standard of gaiety. Our play given on Saturday night was The Patsy”; all agreed that we could claim a great deal of dramatic talent for our class. To enumerate our Senior successes would require too much time and space. We ask that you keep our proud history in mind as a prophecy for the fame of all the members of '29. Forty-nine Former Members of Class of 29 Stiles A. Berger Oliver K. Bernd Jacob I I.

Irene impressed us at first by a certain wistful charm and seriousness, but we were soon to know the real Irene by her infectious giggle. Not only did Glcnwood profit by her all-round management and cheer, but Fircroft and Olevian as well. Irene early revealed her artistic skill, and her handiwork in the form of favors and posters has been a valuable element in creating festive atmosphere and school spirit. Socially, her accomplishments will be in the field of utilitarian art and entertainment; vocationally, in the teaching of biology. MALCOLM ELVIN BARR Mahanov City. Pa.

In the fall of 1925 a modest, unassuming lad from the fastness of Mahanoy City, made the big journey here to do his hit to raise the standards of this institution and incidentally to fit himself to lecture from across the pulpit. With his dogged perseverance and ideal of service he shortly made his presence felt in several diffierent lines of activity. Barr gave much time to the furtherance of Christian organizations and his devotion to the Weekly resulted in co-editorship. With a pleasant smile and willingness to serve. Barr will carry his work on through the seminary into the ministry. WALTER FUNK BELTZ ScilWKNKSVILLK. I A. Schufenksvllle High School History-Social Science: V. M. C. A.: Debating Club. I. n. in. iv. Here we have another product of the Perkiomcn Valley, a section noted for its deutsch.” Coming from one of the outlying suburbs of Collegeville. Walter joined the boisterous troop of day students with whom he proved himself an active member. He will always be remembered as a worker of the highest order and as one who has made the most of his college education by maintaining a notable scholastic record besides serving faithfully on the debating team. Nature endowed him with a brain and an easy-going disposition. The result is the admiration and respect of every college associate. WILLIAM ANDREW BENNER SOUDF.RTON. Pa.

Bill goes into the business world and we expect to hear from him soon. From his actions while at Ursinus we would say he had a keen eye for partnerships.

I he Public Ledger describes her as the demure Quakersmaid with her hair parted in the middle, but a demon on the hockey field. We are in doubt as to the first part of the statement, but we readily agree with the latter, since we have Jane's hockey record on the Varsity for the past four years. She is noted for her determination to succeed in whatever she undertakes; any organization that has received her support has been benefited indeed. Like ex-President Coolidgc. she has a sincere interest in Amherst, although her open preferences on the Ursinus campus lead us to believe that absence does not make the heart grow fonder.” WILLIAM EARL BRACKEN South Fork.

A man is seldom found who is more earnest in his efforts at both work and play. I lis attitude toward study cannot be mistaken, for his very temperament and conversation are evidences of his sincerity of purpose. Consideration of the welfare of others is one of his many outstanding qualities an all too frequent omission of most of us. JAM PIS HAROLD BROWN Rkadinc, Pa. Reading High School Chemistry-Biology ('.roup: Class President, i; Student Council, n. Ill; Demas. A true friend, an honest man. an intelligent and logical thinker. Throughout his college career. Jim has revealed a personality distinctly unique and absolutely individualistic in nature. Always a man of uncontrollable moods, he reflected at different periods almost every attitude and emotion characteristic of man. As assistant in the chemistry department he was respected for his clear and wide perspective and knowledge of that subject, which is to most of us scarcely comprehensible. Here, also, he proved his natural ability as an organizer and leader of men. WALTER IRWIN BUCHERT PoTTSTOU'N. Pa. Potlstown lli ah School Chemistry-Biology Group; Biology Club. Walter’s scholastic primacy has been due to the rural seclusion that has protected him from the temptations that befall the urban day student and the dormitory resident. His isolation has not been wholly at home; Walter is rarely in evidence around Bomberger except his unfailing presence in the biology or chemistry laboratories. Walter's out-of-town residence has been more of a misfortune to his classmates than to him. Not only would his personal qualities assure him popularity in the dormitories. but his presence there would have assisted and inspired his associates. Nevertheless, in the classroom Walter does his share of coaching and stimulation by discussion and example. ABB IK REEVILS CARTER CoNSHOIIOCKEN. Pa.

No one is on the campus long without knowing Abbic, for she is a popular member of our class. She seems to radiate her personality in all of her varied campus activities. Abbie has always been interested in extra-curricular activities, but someho.v she always seems to find a little time to put on the books and to act as hostess for royal feasts. I ler interests are not alone confined to persons of her own age and sex. for many of our staunch athletes have been captivated by her charms. We know that Abbie will be successful in adjusting herself to the circle of Ursinus graduates. MARY BENNETT COBB Haddonuf.i.d, N.

Her social success assured from the beginning by her unique and inherent qualities, her popularity proved both a stepping-stone and a hindrance to her extensive participation in outside activities.

As a freshman Norman was suddenly struck one day by one of cupid's darts, but early surviving the slight wound he immediately interested himself in other college pursuits. One of his well-known postures is to be seen propped in a comfortable armchair reading a good book or burning the midnight oil while engaging in a sociable game of bridge. Being an independent thinker and a keen student he is ofttimes misunderstood, but much admired by his many friends. The wish of his class goes with him that he may continue to wield the influence and leadership he exercised in Derr Hall. HELEN ELIZABETH DEALY PHILADELPHIA. Pa.

In all fields of activity she has few peers on the campus, and not only the collective wishes of your class, but the individual estimates of her possibilities converge on success.

To Bob befell the honor and pleasure (?) of being our Freshman Class president. The popularity which he thus acquired seems to have been too great for his modesty to tolerate. At any rate, he chose to live at home after his Freshman year, and could be seen on the campus on business. strictly. Business, however, kept Bob on the campus quite a bit. Besides being a student, he has taken an active part in extra-curricular activities. I lis greatest achievement in this line has been in debating, in which he has proved there are few his peers. Knowing the sincerity and ability which Bob displays in handling his problems, we confidently predict success in his efforts to solve the problems of life. MARY GORDON RULE Freehold. N. J.

With this spirit she not only attacked the problems of her work, but threw herself vigorously into recreational activities. Mary, by her own example, has set a new ideal of approach to course-material of greater value than powers of analysis and calculation. Through her alert but dispassionate outlook she has acquired a firm and unruffled poise. Mary’s keen sense of humor, like her other characteristics, requires a rational basis for manifestation; her strong practical sense is free from crudeness. Her greatest influence among her associates has acted as a check upon undue levity and sentimentality. WILLIAM GUSTAVUS SAALMAN. Jr. Ecc Harbor. N.

Rill has been a mainstay of the Glee Club, choir and vocal department for four years. We can’t remember the time that King ever refused a request to sing before any body or assembly this good-naturedness and willingness to do his share has made him hosts of friends. As far as we know. King hasn't bothered the other sex: it’s probably too much trouble. King seems undecided as to his future, but we feel sure that he is destined to be a future Wcrrenrath.

Olive’s extensive outside schedule does not demand from her the frenzied rush from one committee meeting to class and then back to the hockey field. She is a loyal supporter of one of the principles of the math group in relation to the college at large: thorough but rapid completion of curricular assignments, then headlong plunge into the swirl of campus affairs. Olive’s insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge, whetted by continuous analytical inquiry, supported by moral conviction, has enhanced her value as a tireless musician, writer and legislator. She has played her part with almost masculine vigor in the emancipation of the Ursinus woman from purely scholastic activity. WALTER BENJAMIN SCHEIRER Mahanoy City. Pa.

Walter’s connection with the student body immediately registered on musical lines; his early efforts in improving entertainment and student appreciation was an acceptable contribution to Ursinus life. His generosity and assistance was not confined to his dexterity with the bow and he did not coniine his friendships to those of his own class. Scholastically. Walter has made a steady progress: but since his attempts at dramatics and vocal renditions, he has gradually lessened his work with the violin. Walter is as indispensable to the maintenance of pitch, harmony and organization in the Glee Club as leader or accompanist. We acknowledge his services in affording recreation to the student body and his futherance of social life. HOWARD RAUL SCHINK Dvquesne. Pa.

In the classroom Howard has carried the same quiet persistency which he manifested on the athletic field. As leading man in “The Fool.” he reached a degree of dramatic ability aspired by many but reached by few. A bachelor at Ursinus but at home? Regardless. Howard’s exemplary qualities have supported rather than detracted from his popularity and athletic prowess. PAUL E. SCUMOYER Allentown, Pa. Allentown Prep School Modern Language Group; Y. M. C.

Ever since until unfortunate circumstances snatched him from us at the end of the first semester of his Senior year his serene. Hebraic countenance has been found with lively activity in all the religious movements on our campus. For three years he was bishop of the little chapel at Rahns, where he has practiced the art of being a preacher in his odd moments. Schmoyer is also a super-salesman, high-pressure colporteur.

Elvira lived in Glenwood. where she was always the center of every discussion and party. Her hearty laugh and ready supply of jokes were continually in demand. Some of her expressions and ultimatums will go down in history as indicative of the influence she exerted among the Glenwood girls.

How Walter’s blitheness remained compatible with the responsibilities his class offices entailed is the one mystery that defies explanation and is the source of the misunderstanding that has complicated his relations with a few of his classmates. Walter took especial care not to neglect his heart’s desi -es, for when ‘Hope’’ faded, Walt merely smiled and when he smiles. Dean White’s troubles arc redoubled.

And what a good little booster she proved to be in her capacity as chairman of the Girls' Booster Committee. During football season and the committee’s greatest activity.

Jeanette’s habits of study, so regular and protracted at first, have also been modified to a degree of dilatorincss. Jeanette is most to be envied for her equanimity and uncommon sense.

Viola’s interests are not only in her studies, but also in the various athletic activities of the college. She has been a faithful supporter of the hockey team, and has lent her untiring zeal in helping to make it a success. A diligent and conscientious student, always doing little things to help others, and as trifles make perfection we are quite sure she will succeed in her chosen profession of teaching.

We do not know what Beckie is planning to do after graduation, but whatever she undertakes, we feel sure she will be a success. The best wishes of the class are with her.

Polly proved herself an asset of increasing value to her class when she entered in 1926 after a year at Hood. Music, dramatics, esthetics, welfare, forensics and literary activities have all been enriched and promoted by her. Polly possesses an uncommon gift of winning others’ favor and assistance to the advantage of everybody concerned. Her undeniable charm and attractiveness arc enhanced by her kindest consideration for others: Polly never presumes but by popular demand is drawn into the center of interest. In elocution and public discussion she has taken the role of entertainer and instructor. To carry these personal achievements out of college is equivalent to any forecast of success. I MARJORIE M.

Donaldson Catherine Sanderson Eleanor Tomlinson John W. Witmer Kermit Black One hundred twenty-six Class History LI . I us reminisce, class of ’50. over the past two and a half years spent within the walls of our Alma Mater. Ursinus. and recall those events that stand forth most vividly in our memory. The tug-of-war between Frosh and .Soph, held on Patterson Field, the first Thursday after our arrival, witnessed the development of our class spirit. Although the laurels of victory were not awarded to us. a greater gain resulted from the contest, for we became conscious of the group. After the tug-of-war we were whirled into a gay round of social activities, among which were the Y’’ reception, dances, the Frosh-Junior breakfast, given to the young women of our class by their sister class, and lastly, the freshman Banquet, held at the Ritz-C arlton in Philadelphia, on October 25. 1926. Soon the mid-semester exams arrived and some realized with a shock that academic work was more difficult than we supposed. After passing through a critical period of readjustment, the year sped rapidly by, bringing to us at its close the rank of Sophomores. A resume of last year's activities can be briefly given. Our position in college life was a rather lowly one. just betwixt and between, for we possessed neither the glamor of the Freshman nor the importance of the upper classmen. In scholarship and extra-curricular activities such as athletics, debating, dramatics and music we won recognition and honors. And those unclaimed hours, which might otherwise have become monotonous, were willed away in deluding unsuspecting Freshmen. The advent of our third year at Ursinus brought important responsibilities and the realization that the way in which we perform the special features of this year which arc of importance in the life of the college will be indicative of our ability. In whatever direction we devote our energies, class of '30. both as students of Ursinus and as citizens of the larger world of affairs into which we arc about to enter, may every act be for the glory and honor of our Alma Mater, Ursinus.

Wasn’t it only yesterday that some of us were standing in front of the college store inquiring how to reach Bomberger Hall and buying chapel seats? Don’t you remember, as though it were just last evening, sitting in your new room, among your trunks and bags, and through clenched teeth declaring to yourself. “1 won’t get homesick! I won’t! 1 won’t! ? Our first year, with its work and its play, and in spite of all its annoyances and difficulties, was less irksome than the situation of Freshmen the year before and passed by like a shadow o'er the moon.' Its host of events football games, banquets, examinations, dances are all still so indelibly impressed on our minds that we can scarcely realize that so much time separates them from us. WakUbn Hkvs. I‘rc«. When we came back to school for our second year, we found that our numbers had diminished considerably. The year began with a rush and has been moving at a breath-taking rate ever since. We could give no more than passing attention to such incidentals as winning the tug-of-war and football game. We find ourselves taking a changed attitude toward the school and our schoolmates and glorying in a new feeling of freedom and growing self-confidence. We have gone in for extra-curricular activities head-over heels. We find greater interest in our class work, since we are now carrying fewer subjects we must take and more we want to take. We have adopted a critical attitude toward everything, and. though quick to appreciate merit wherever it exists, have pledged ourselves to bring into notice all the faults and weaknesses of our Alma Mater and then throw ourselves heart and soul into correcting them. So may we realize that Greater Ursinus that her sons and daughters have always dreamed. One hundred thirty-three Class Roll Kenneth N. Ai.f.xandf.r Chester Ha. Scipio!

But an entirely different scene was laid this time, for the Freshman Class of '32 held entire sway in their Ursinus realm, for two whole days, spent in banqueting and getting acquainted with the place and its surroundings, their power was undisputed. Then the Sophs and upperclassmen arrived. What was their surprise, and even indignation, when they beheld, instead of little green Freshmen timorously sidling about, a united class in full possession of their Alma Mater and looking askance at any invasion upon their state of peace and harmony! Frosh buttons, solemn windsor ties and fiery dinks inflicted by the Sophomores. was triumphantly manifested in the result of the traditional Freshman banquet. I he arrangements for the traditional f reshman banquet were so cleverly made and so secretly executed that we arrived at the Craftman’s Club. Drexel I li 11. safe and sound. Even the class president escaped capture. The successful outcome of the Freshman banquet was indeed a most favorable omen for the career of the Freshman Class of '32. Although victory in the frosh versus .Sophomore football game was conceded to the Sophs, nevertheless, the results of Frosh-Sophomore hockey and basketball games verified the omen. However, in the future, we do not propose to live on past laurels, but we aim to maintain our high scholastic standing, continue our successful social career, surpass all athletic records, and live for the glory and honor of our dear Alma Mater—Ursinus.

Raymond One hundred forty ACTIVITIES GROUPS I he Group System Tl IE group system of study was early adopted at Ursinus College. I his plan, more or less modified, is followed by practically all first-class colleges in the country. The group system permits the student to select a major course and also a well-balanced group of electives. It gives the student opportunities to study in his chosen field of work, and makes possible a liberal education in the best sense of the word. The groups at Ursinus arc as follows: CLASSICAL GROUP Adviser Prof. William Lindsay President First Vice-President Second Vicc-Prcsidcnt Secretary-1 reasurcr Elam Wiest John Witmer George Engle Albert Thompson MATHEMATICS GROUP Adviser Dr. John W. Clawson Walter Scheiker Jane Tomlinson Van Davies President Secretary Treasurer HI STORY-SOCIAL SCIENCE GROUP Adviser Dr. J. G. Barnard President V icc-Prcsidcnt Secretary Treasurer .

It was something novel at Ursinus. replacing the Junior-Frosh shines of former years. Jr. Prom CoMMinKR Spunslcr, Cohb. McGatvry. Fox I he I hompson-Gay Gymnasium was a veritable fairy land of ice and snow where one could dance amici the falling flakes to the entrancing syncopation of Allan Quirk and his band of nearly a thousand melodies. The weather man. to keep in step with the wintry atmosphere of the decorations, displayed his fury in torrents of rain and gales of wind. All his wrath, however, could not penetrate the walls of old Gay and jist and jollity reigned supreme until the wee hours. when the dancers, forced to leave this dreamland of diamond drops and pearly flakes, were ushered into cold reality with the rhythmic, haunting strains of the music still beating in their ears. One hundred forty-nine Social Life Tl Ik social life of Ursinus is probably typical of smaller colleges in that it abounds in good fellowship and fun. The numerous 1 lall parties. Dorm banquets. Student Council dances, teas and receptions are all probably remembered by the oldest alumni. One slightly new feature has been adder! to our general social life within the last few years, that being the bridge parties in I lalls. Dorms, and even the benefit mixed bridge parties in the Thompson-Gay gymnasium. I he last has seemed to be especially popular and has proven a good means of getting some out who. while they do not dance, do play a good game of bridge. Freshman Banquet ON November 6, 1925. there assembled in the Rose Room of the Adclphia Hotel, t hirteenth and C hestnut Streets. Philadelphia, a somewhat green but certainly interesting Freshman Class, the now illustrious Senior Class. Memories of that night's banqueting in the Rose Room and dancing in the Crystal Ballroom register somewhat as follows: A lost President, namely. Bob Roth lost to the Sophomores: Jack 1 lartman. a cute Freshman with rosy checks and brown eyes, waxing merry at the head of our banquet board; May Grim in peach evening dress doing her stuff in the Charleston and how she did it! ; I ommy Swanger on the ballroom floor jazzing it up as only I ommy can: F.ppic and Bob. our sister class guests, adding decidedly to the evening’s enjoyment: and last but not least, the bus ride home under the chapcronage of Mr. and Mrs. Boswell. But of a more serious nature, we realize now what that banquet meant to us. as our first assembly in a unit. It was our first op| ortunity to become acquainted, so-to-speak. and underneath that atmosphere of fun and gaiety there began the first tics of class friendship that have continued to bind us these four happiest years of our lives. May Day IN the Realms of the .Sea Queen.” a pageant written by the class in expres-1 sion under the direction of Miss I lelen G. Lrrett, revived the charms of May Day on the campus this year. The theme centered around an old legend that once a year the mermaids become mortals, dance upon the land, and then hurry back again into the waves. No one has ever seen them and lived to tell the tale with the exception of an old sailor and a little girl.” Flizabcth Harter, 28. was the fair and beautiful maiden” who was crowned Queen of the Mermaids” of the watery realms and May Queen of Ursinus. Her attendants were Helen Lucas. 28; Josephine Riddell. ’29; Katherine Sanderson. ’30, and Mary Concty, '31.

IN order to intensify the interest, to develop more fully the capabilities of those with talent in art. and to revive latent ability, the Dramatic Club of Ursinus was organized in the fall of 1928. It is an outgrowth of the Curtain Club and the Societies, but will recessarily lead to a greater degree of specialization, as it is concentrating directly on dramatic art. Moreover, its membership is not limited to classes, but open to any one who has successfully taken part in a sketch. Under its direction two successful plays have already been produced, these commemorating Schaff and Zwinglian anniversaries, and it is hoped that its influence will be important in the life of Ursinus College.

Since that time the organization has carried on its work from year to year in accordance with the principles of the intercollegiate organization. The Y” meets regularly every Wednesday evening, at which time the boys engage in a period of devotion, after which a speaker addresses the gathering, or the members start a discussion upon some personal or campus problem. The Y. M. co-operates with the Y. W. in staging joint-meetings. Once each year the Y. M. stages a week of prayer.” which usually comes in February. In the past this week of prayer has meant much on the Ursinus campus, and has cultivated the idea of service and spirituality. As an organization, its purposes are to lead students to faith in God. to lead them into membership and service of the Church, to promote their growth in Christian faith and character through the study of spiritual truths, and to influence them to devote themselves in united effort with all Chiistians to make the Spirit of Jesus effective in human society and to extend that spiritual kingdom throughout the world.

The Student Young Women’s Christian Association has steadily proved its growing power and value for student life. There is great tradition behind it. and it has a great future in the bringing together of religion and education. Religion and education working in partnership that is the bridge now in the building, on which mankind will pass from the civilization of power to the civilization of culture with its unity and good will.

It has been permitted to make certain rules for deregulation of student life. Through it the conscience of Ursinus men is expressed. In the past year a Men’s Assembly has been formed. In this manner the entire student body helps govern its discipline-while on the campus. The Council is the representative-body. The council has not attempted to be an inquisition. It has dealt fairly with all cases presented, and a spirit of good fellowship has existed. The council is composed of six representatives from the Senior Class; four from the Junior Class; and two from the Sophomore Class. After I hanksgiving the Freshmen elect a listener to the council. This year Dr. J. L. Barnard and Mr. F. I. Shccder were elected as faculty representatives on the council. This year the council has grown in respect and influence. For the sake of student government and for the honor of college, this must continue. Co-operation is the Mekkit Jkmkkv i-r., keynote of the success of the past student council.

Chairman, secured able speakers on vocations, and was assisted bv the Citizenship Committee, Mary Oberlin. chairman, who introduced projects for education in voting and good citizenship. I he success and progress of the W. S. G. A. has been due in a large measure to the efforts and interest of Doctor White in her capacity as adviser. Ae have kept in touch with the activities of leading women’s organizations in the vicinity and sent students to conferences on political questions and topics of international interest. Our aim has been to develop tolerance, breadth of vision, and higher ideals, and to secure good discipline, not by compulsion. but by appealing to the self-respect of every young woman and to her pride in the organization of which she is a vital part. ,lell!s The Brotherhood of St. Paul I1 resident V icc-Prcsidcnt Secretary I reastirer Malcolm Bakk Harvey Lytle William Denny Paul Schmoyer THF. Brotherhood of Saint Paul is one of the most active and influential Christian organizations on the Ursinus campus. It was organized a quarter of a century ago by Dr. James I. Good, a highly respected clergyman of the Reformed Church and at that time professor of Church History in the college. Though the organization began with a small membership, it has grown in influence and numbers as Ursinus has grown in the last two decades. The organization meets monthly, at which time addresses or papers are read by the members reviewing some thought, criticism, or accomplishment of the Christian Church in the world. It is a liberal organization, tolerant in its views, embracing all Christian activity. Once each year the members of the Brotherhood are given a banquet by the college, at which time a nationally or internationally known preacher or scholar delivers the main address. In the past few years the Brotherhood has had such well-known men as Dr. George W. Richards. Dean Charles R. Brown. Dr. Rufus M. Jones, and Dr. Joseph Fort Newton as its guests at the annual banquets. The Brotherhood seeks to instill and perpetuate the high ideals, lofty motives, nobility of character and service which so characterized its founder.

Research in the anatomy and physiology of life was first fostered by the Biology Journal Club, a masculine organization with membership limited to students interested wholly in the pursuit of science. Increased interest made an organization necessary which would serve as a medium of expression for those with special attainments and to develop latent talent in others. With this as its primary purpose the Biology Club was organized and each ensuing year a marked improvement was revealed in its success. I his year, under the able guidance of Professor Brown-back. together with the sincere co-operation of its members, the Biology Club of Ursinus paralleled the spirit of a greater Ursinus in its organized promotion of social grace and personal amity.

It manifests its interest in every worthwhile phase of college activity. I he Ursinus Women's Club draws its membership largely from the Alumni Association and here the women of the Alumni express themselves in the betterment of the student life of the women of the college. They arc now bending their efforts to raise money for a women’s dormitory. I he men of the Association sponsor and compose the Athletic C lub, the name of which designates its primary interests. Their support, both financial and moral, has aided greatly in raising and keeping the standards of Ursinus athletics on the high plane they are at present. The Memorial Library is the gift of the Association en masse. The Ursinus Weekly is partially controlled and supported by the organization. The annual banquet and business session of the association is held during commencement week. Branch organizations have been established in Bethlehem. York. Harrisburg. Reading. Lancaster. Lebanon, lamaqua. C hambers-burg. Philadelphia, and the states of Ohio and New York to keep alive Ursinus interest and to influence the best prospective students.

'21 AN organization which has had great influence in promoting a better athletic spirit is the Alumni Athletic Club. It was organized in 1924 with the alumni as a nucleus. The efforts of this club have made the threatre-gymnasium a reality. It also paid for the cost of rebuilding the track and field; and purchased seats for a new field cage. Recently the club purchased bleachers to accommodate the increasing size of Ursinus' crowds at football games. With such an active organization let us hope in the future they will bring into reality another cherished Ursinus dream a new grand stand. One hundred eighty Ursinus Women’s Club THIS organization had its origin in the Women’s Graduate Association established in June. 1914. as a result of a meeting of interested women graduates of Ursinus. Several years later the name of the association was changed to the Women’s Club so that it might include in its membership women other than Ursinus graduates who are interested in the girls of the college. The club aims to promote the interests of the college in general, but more specifically to secure greater advantages for the young women in the student body. Numerous and varied have been the benefits received through the untiring efforts of this club. Probably the most outstanding was the maintenance of a physical director for girls. Since the college has taken over that responsibility the club has devoted its interests mainly toward raising money for a new dormitory for women. A regular midyear activity is an entertainment on the evening of bounder’s Day. The membership is increasing regularly, and the undertakings are numerous, varied, and intensive. Women’s Dormitory Activities Miss Isabf.l Houck. ’29. Chairman A BIGGER and Better Ursinus would not be complete without a dormitory for women. February 22. 1927, marks the beginning of the drive for this new building. Miss Barbara Boston. ’27. was the chairman of the committee which superintended tea dances, bridge parties, bazaars, and sales on the campus, as well as in cities and towns where Ursinus is represented by alumnae, students, and friends. Quite a large sum of money was made in this way. I he work was taken up the following school year under the leadership of Miss Cora Gulick, 28: endeavor was renewed, especially since there was a promise of support from the Ursinus Women’s Club. Since then the amount in the treasury has been greatly increased, so much so that a definite plan is in the making whereby a real drive for large funds will be started during the course of this year. Cities and towns that have especially supported this movement are York. Allentown, Philadelphia. Reading. Pottstown. Norristown. Bangor. I (addon-field, N. J., and Farmingdale. N. J. 1 he success attained in a comparatively recent movement prophesies that a splendid dormitory will add to the beauty of Ursinus campus in the very near future.

Captain of Sport in Season THE Varsity Club is an organization of all the letter men of the college. It is mainly an honorary society for the men who have earned their letters in any major athletic sport at Ursinus. The club was founded for the purpose of promoting better spirit among Ursinus athletes. This has not been very necessary of late because of the excellent spirit of the Ursinus student body. Even though the club at present is inactive, it is a worthy organization. and membership in it is one of the goals of every true Ursinus athlete. One hundred cighty-tuio ATHLETICS Ronald Kiciilink William W. Bancroft Coach of Athletics Grad. Mrr. of Athletics Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Till-. Fastern Collegiate Athletic Conference is an association composed of the following colleges: Ursinus. Gettysburg, Muhlenberg, Franklin and Marshall, and Dickinson. The institutions are represented at the regular meetings by members of the respective athletic boards or faculties. These delegates originate the rules under which all athletic activities are carried out. This organization has done much in the way of placing athletics in the different colleges on a higher level. Commercialization has been reduced to the point where it does not interfere with the ultimate purpose for which athletics are made a part of a college program. Our able representatives in this conference are Doctor Clawson and Professor Bancroft, both of whom have made the influence of Ursinus recognized among the colleges of the Fast. The rules forbid first-class men to play on varsity teams. The immediate effect of this ruling was rather bad for the smaller institutions and threatened to break up the conference but during the past two years each college is beginning to realize the advantages of such a system. Ursinus has had very successful athletic teams during the existence of this association. Its football and basketball teams have always been placed in the front ranks. During the past year our cross-country team romped away with first place and the cup in the annual cross-country run over a five-mile course at Carlisle. One hundred eighly-four Ursinus Band Wolfcl.

Football Season of 1928 ALTHOUGH the record of the 1928 football season did not quite fulfill the expectations of the followers of the Bears, yet they finished second in the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference by winning decisive victories over franklin and Marshall and Muhlenberg. Delaware was also defeated, while contests were lost to Penn, Havcrford, Dickinson. Drcxcl, Swarthmore and Schuylkill. Every game was a hard-fought one and the Bears acquitted themselves creditably against some of the best teams in the East. There were no individual stars, but the team played hard football consistently. When the curtain descended on the 1928 season it marked the termination of a period of which Ursinus followers may well be proud. To give due praise to every member of the team would require volumes. It is enough to say that another loyal Ursinus football team gave everything it had during a hard season. EASTERN CONFERENCE STANDING Team Won Lost Pts. (U.) Pts.

Schinck Review of the Season PENN THE fighting Grizzlies bowed in defeat to one of the best teams Penn has ever had. The game was played in a drizzle of rain, but was witnessed by hundreds of Ursinus followers. The score was 34-0. Handicapped by poor playing conditions and opposed by one of the mightiest teams in the East, the Bears gave a good account of themselves. The superior strength of Penn steadily drove into the Ursinus line until five touchdowns had been scored. The game was marked by many fumbles and many substitutions. The gallant defensive work of every Ursinus man who was sent into the game was responsible for keeping the score down. The work of Young and Black was most conspicuous for Ursinus because of ground gaining ability and punting respectively. Scull. Shober and Murphy shared the backfield honors for Penn. HAVERFORD The Bears resumed athletic relations with I laverford by losing the first game to be played on Patterson field during the 1928 season by an 8-0 score. The game was marked by the beautiful play of Ensworth and Trippe of the opposition and the inability of the Bears to get their offensive launched. Breaks were frequent. I laverford scored a safety on one of them. Ursinus might have scored several times if they could have exerted a sustained offensive. I ime after time their attacks were stopped before the final chalk line could be reached. The defensive work of the Bears was of sterling character. I laverford threatened to score several times, but they were held for downs when danger was most imminent. Their single touchdown came in the last quarter and was the result of brilliant running by Trippe. Both teams were making frequent substitutions when the game ended. One hundred ninety FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL Showing more drive and offensive strength than at any previous time during the season the Bears made it three straight victories over Franklin and Marshall by crashing through for two touchdowns in the last period to make a 12-0 score. The Lancastrians were game and determined and once got the ball to the two-yard line, but the Grizzlies were bent on victory would not be denied. Twenty-five hundred people gathered on Patterson Field to witness the annual struggle, many of whom were alumni. The Bears completely outplayed their opponents. F. and M. gained not one first down through the line, nearly all of their gains being made on forward passes. Penalties were frequent and time-outs were numerous on account of the warm day. Ursinus suffered particularly for penalties. losing an even hundred yards. Their attack was powerful enough, however. to offset this disadvantage. DELAWARE I he fighting Grizzlies made it two straight when they took over the University of Delaware team by a 7-0 score. A touchdown by Jeffers and a kick from placement by Sterner were the sole tallies by either team. Very little happened in the first quarters, but in the remaining periods the Bears were constantly on the offensive, and played a very superior- brand of football. Costly fumbles prevented them from scoring more than once. About the only time Delaware was really in a position to score was when Black’s kick was blocked in the fourth period, giving the Blue Hen Chickens the ball on the eleven-yard line. I he Bears held tight, however, and thereafter were never in danger. Jeffers’ touchdown came late in the third period after Ursinus had thrice surged deeply into the enemy’s territory. Delaware punted to her own forty-yard line. On the first play Jeffers skirted right end and with good interference sprinted forty yards for the decisive score. DICKINSON l or the second straight year Ursinus was compelled to bend the knee to Dickinson in a close contest. 1 he score was 7-6. I ouchdowns by Strine and Slivinsky and a kick from placement by Cook were the plays which counted for points. Ursinus clearly outplayed Dickinson in the first half. The second half was about even, although the Bears uncorked a passing attack which was very effective. Barring Angle’s run to the one-yard line from which Dickinson's score was made, neither team was within real scoring distance. Strine made his touchdown early in the second peiiod after Jeffers ran a pass from Mink thirty yards to the five-yard line. Helffrich came out of the line to take the ball through left tackle for four yards. Jeffers was stopped at guard. Mink wormed through for a foot and then Strine crashed across for our only score. Dickinson’s score came in the second half and the try for the extra point was successful. It was a hard game to lose. One hundred ninely-onc MUHLENBERG On the third of November, the Ursinus warriors journeyed to Allentown to engage in battle with the representatives of Muhlenberg. Rivalry has always been keen between these two schools and the victory of the Bears was one of the highlights of the past season. The Bears consistently outplayed their opponents. They were on the offensive most of the time and had things practically their own way. The game was played on a muddy field under gray skies. The fog was so thick that the players of one team could scarcely be distinguished from those of the other. But the battle went on with the Red. Old Gold and Black having much the better of the struggle. When the final whistle blew the score was 13-0, quite decisive, but no indication of the complete victory of the Bears. DREXEL I he gold Dragons of Drexel came up to Patterson Held and sent the growling Grizzlies of Ursinus down to a I 5-0 defeat in the last home game of the season. Bringing with them the lightest and one of the fastest teams that has ever dug cleats into the turf of Patterson Field, the Fngineers opened an attack which featured weird passes and brilliantly executed end runs. The Bears had a good passing game. too. which functioned for large gains, but when the goal line hove into sight something seemed to go awry. Without doubt the one big individual star was Plughes of the Dragors. Five-feet-two and one-hundred-twenty pounds in weight this dinvi utive quarterback thrilled the crowd many times by his daring and clever running back of punts. He excelled in all-round playing, f or Ursinus Pep Young and Bill Benner showed line plunging ability, gaining ground consistently. One hundred ninety-two SWART! I MORE A fiercely contested game with the Swarthmore eleven was lost by the score of 13-7. The game with Swarthmore was one of the best games of the year. Both teams gave an exhibition of good, clean football with every man fighting every minute of the game. It was unfortunate that Ursinus should lose, but the defeat was an honorable one. Touchdowns following mishandled punts in the second and third periods accounted for the Garnet tallies. A determined line-cracking attack launched in the middle of the third quarter and featuring Pep Young brought the Grizzly touchdown. Ursinus fought gamely, rallying for her touchdown after Swarthmore had twice scored. When a team can rally in the face of defeat and complete a march for a touchdown it is an evidence not only of real power, but of the kind of determination possessed by heroes. SCHUYLKILL Hopelessly outclassed by a heavier and more powerful team, the Ursinus Bears bowed in defeat to the Lions of Schuylkill. The final count was 34-6. The game was played on I hanksgiving Day in the Schuylkill stadium, a record crowd attending. The Reading team had given evidence of its great strength by defeating Temple and every one was anxious to see what Ursinus would be able to do against them. I he Bears fought valiantly, but their best was not good enough. Captain Mose Bart man of Schuylkill and his teammate Knorr carried the ball to almost anywhere they wanted it. Ursinus led an aerial attack which resulted in a touchdown in the first period. This was the only Ursinus attempt which could be marked in the scoring column. Following the Grizzly score. Schuylkill virtually swamped the Red and Black with her touchdowns. Thus was the curtain lowered on another episode in the football history of Ursinus.

The deeds of the valiants may soon be forgotten, but their records will be set down for future reference in the musty archives of the past. The 1927-28 season was quite successful. Eighteen contests were played and eleven won. l our of the seven games lost were divided among two teams. Buckncll and I cmple. 1 hese two quintets outdistanced the Bears in both engagements, on home and foreign courts, while Penn and Penn State each registered a hard-fought victory over the Bears. Lebanon Valley, the last to score a victory over Ursinus, was overwhelmed in a return engagement in the Thompson-Gay Gymnasium. Delving into the annals of the past we find that the 1927-28 season was better than any produced since 1920-21. Even so. it cannot be said that the Grizzlies lived up entirely to advance expectations. With practically a veteran team many supporters visioned an undefeated team this year. 1 his. however, was not to be and. taking into consideration the calibre of opposing teams, it could hardly be expected. Four of the Bears scored more than a hundred points each. They were Hoagey, Bigley. Moyer and Young. I he Grizzlies scored a total of 694 points against 599 scored by their adversaries. I he record of the Bears during this season will stand for many years as the record of some of the finest basketball players Ursinus ever had. The two captains. 1 loagcy and Bigley. played a brand of basketball which is seldom seen and Bill Moyer was an individual star of the first magnitude.

I he busting Bears played eleven contests, won six of them, tied one. and lost four. By crushing Delaware. Swarthmorc. and f ranklin and Marshall. Ursinus. for the first time in a great many blue moons, succeeded in spanking these three rivals in the trio of major sports, football, basketball, and baseball. Bill Moyer completed his athletic career by coming out first in a slugging duel with I loagey. Moyer batted the ball for an average of .488. while Hoagcy’s average was .460. Six out of eight regulars pelted the pill for over a .300 mark. Besides Moyer and Hoagey. they arc the brands brothers. Captain La Clair, and Pep Young. All told the Grizzlies crashed out eighteen doubles, thirteen triples, and eight homers, which is slugging in good style. Mo vahi Sciiink. Capt. The Bears started out by beating F. and M.. Swarthmorc, and Osteopathy. In the fourth game at Annville the Ursinus men were leading. 3-1, up to the eighth, when Lebanon Valley tied the score and rain ended the game. The trip to Central Pennsylvania was a disastrous one. The Bears lost to Buckncll. 13-12; to Susquehanna. 8-7; then going to Reading they came through with a 10-9 win over Schuylkill. Returning home Drexel was defeated. 10-4. but the next week Muhlenberg trounced the Bears to the tune of 14-1. Delaware was defeated, 7-6. and in the last game at Franklin l ield the Bears captured a hit and run fracas. I 3-7. WlU-IAM Sa, I VIAN. MKf. As was anticipated, the pitching staff was the weak part of an otherwise strong machine. Among the pitchers Riordan and Strine are listed as not having lost a game. Mink saw lots of service as a relief pitcher and the way of a reserve hurlcr is often a hard road to travel. Riordan was perhaps the outstanding worker of the year.

Inasmuch as this was the first season in which track has appeared on the Ursinus athletic program as a major sport, we feel that the team has done very well.

A certain number of points are given for every activity participated in and at the end of the Junior year an honorary blazer is awarded to the girl with the highest number of points. The association also provides that all members of the hockey, basketball, and tennis teams, having played a required number of games, be given a 5-inch “U.” A “Sportsmanship U“ is awarded to those having attended practices faithfully and having shown good spirit and enthusiasm during both the hockey and basketball seasons.

Review of the Season ’I III Beaver game on November 29th culminated the most successful hockey season Ursinus has ever had. Of the eight intercollegiate encounters. Ursinus scorer! six victories. one tie. and experienced one defeat, tallying 48 goals against its opponents’ 21. Due to Coach Errctt’s and Captain Dot Seitz’ efforts, the team showed unusual spirit and teamwork throughout the entire season. Coach Errett’s hockeyites opened the 1928 season with a decisive victory over Rosemont with a score of 6-1. At Beaver more resistance was offered arid it was only in the last few minutes that the U” team, taking advantage of a break, scored the final goal which left the Ursinus girls with a 3-2 victory over Beaver. At Swarthmore, the Bearettes” met their only defeat of the season, bowing before their opponents with a 9-4 defeat. The Ursinus lassies proved to be too swift for the Drexel team, and rolled up 10 goals to their opponents’ 2. I he ”U” girls next travelled to New Jersey, where, in one of the most exciting games of the season, they left the Glassboro Normal field, victorious with a 3-2 score. I he Philadelphia Normal lassies trier! their best to defend their goal, but all in vain. The U“ girls crossed it no less than ten times. At Cedar Crest, the most thrilling game of the season, the ’Sinus hockeyites were put to test. Without Captain Seitz and Jo Riddell the team was handicapped. Cedar Crest had the lead all through the first half of the game and was on a smooth path to victory in the second half, when the Bearettes seized the ball and within the last two minutes of play scored two goals, making the final score a tic. 4-4. With a 7-1 victory over Beaver, the hockey careers for Captain Dot Seitz. Jane Bowler. Jo Riddell. 1 lelcn Wismer. Ginnic Krcssler, Betty Greager. and Olive Sargeant were ended. Although many are lost by graduation, we predict a successful 1929 hockey season if the spirit and co-operation shown this season continues. THE RECORD Oct. 19 Rosemont .

Old Gold and Black colors waving high above all others. The schedule consisted of nine games, including the usual rivals and two new ones. Juniata and the West Philadelphia girls. The season began with two decisive victories on the home court, bringing to grief our new opponents, Juniata. 33-16. and West Philadelphia. 25-10. Journeying to New Jersey. Coach Errett’s dribblers fought an exciting battle with the Glassboro sextet. Breaks were against us and the game ended in a 24-24 tie. Cedar Crest offered us the first reverse of the season on our home court. 23-16. This game was followed by three more defeats, all oi.ivk Saroeani. ('apt. being on foreign courts. At Beaver the Bear- ettes’’ fought a hard battle, but were outclassed by the teamwork of their opponents who rolled up a 43-22 score. At Drexel. the ’Sinus sextet fought to regain their footing, but were defeated. 29-27. At Swarthmorc. we met a decisive defeat. 73-25. Realizing that something had to be done. Captain Fritsch took her dribblers” in hand and led them on to avenge Cedar Crest on her home court. The Sinus sextet fought as it never fought before and. in spite of the enthusiastic cheers from the opposing spectators, the game ended in a tie. 22-22. The Sinus “Bearettes fought with renewed vigor to win the final game of the season, but were again humbled by Beaver’s victorious team. 32-26. Although we only won two games, tied two. and lost five, the 'Sinus squad deserves much credit for its everlasting spirit.

Two hundred twenty Minor Sports AS every season rolls around, we find more and more Ursinus girls taking an interest in some sport. On account of this increasing interest, track and archery have been added to our list of minor sports, which already includes tennis, swimming, and hiking. Tennis has long been a favorite sport with the Ursinus girls, but it was not until this past season that the girls' tennis team was organized. The annual tennis team was revived by the Women's Athletic Association in the spring of '28. The team was organized from those standing highest in the tournament, while the winner. Evelyn Lake. '30. was awarded a trophy. Three games were scheduled, but because of rain only one was played, the U” girls being victorious over Lebanon Valley by a 5-1 advantage. The schedule for this coming season will be a much fuller one and a successful season is predicted. Swimming was organized by the college authorities in 1925. In the summer the Perkiomen proves to be a favorite spot and many enjoyable hours arc spent there. No swimming meets have been scheduled as yet. but such a contest may be arranged in the future. Hiking seems to be a sport enjoyed by all. Since the three-inch, blocked “U has replaced the 'll. C.. formerly awarded for hiking the required mileage. even more interest has been taken. I his year several long hikes have been planned which have already stirred up much interest. A hiking club will also be organized in the spring of 29. Track is just beginning to come into its own. In the spring of 28 the girls participated in their first track meet. It proved to be a success and this year we arc hoping for a bigger and better one. Archery has. at last, found its way to Ursinus. An interclass archery meet was started last spring, but on account of other collegiate activities it was never finished. This year we hope to have not only an interclass archery meet, but also com{ etitive meets with other colleges.

Two hundred twenty-four FEATURES Freshman Days It must have been a touching sight. When we anchored at Ursinus I o see how dumb and green we were. As we left the world behind us. The “sophs and upperclassmen. Not content with band and cap. Made us run their lazy errands, I rom the Inn as far as Trappe. Some of us signed for chapel seats. Still others for social hour. We complied with every nod and call Within our human power. Sunday was the day of rest. With customs laid aside. Perhaps to church and Sunday school, l or peace we’d bend our stride. Then came the freshman banquet. In the city of Brotherly Love; And a chance to get acquainted With the members of our drove. We were here on mere probation. With our ability yet to show; Not a part of the institution. Just a freshie meek and low. Alas, the trials of Founder’s Day, The singing of the Campus song. Before the critical sophomores. And the rest of the motely throng. Some of us passed the ordeal. And a few were penalized. Many a first-year maiden Was carefully scrutinized. And so up to the finish 1 ill finals rolled around. We were cast aside and bullied. With pride and poise aground. And yet is there one amongst us. As we think of each bygone hour Who regrets having been a freshman. When knighthood was in flower. Two hundred twenty-six The sophs and frosh show their brotherly love for one another in their annual football classic.

Schnure “I do.” Voice in the rear Since when?” Two hundred twenty-seven I he most interesting episodes of our life at Ursinus were those delightful intermissions at the college dances. Announcements were always made by the chaperons concerning the selection of the most comfortable scats. They were always very desirous to avoid overcrowding and were insistent that every couple leave the gym to participate in their favorite pastime. To our regret they would continually lengthen the time allotted for intermission. Cushions could generally be purchased at reasonable prices. Cook Have you a postage stamp on you?” Howell No. you fresh thing! This is the latest in imported gowns. Peters Dearest, please- just one more kiss? Riddell— No. love. Father said I had to go to bed by twelve, and it's nearly eleven now. Two hundred twenty-eight Sept. 18 I he Diary of An Ursinus Co-Ed Just blew in. Looks like the same place.
